Meekins was a Roosevelt delegate to
the Chicago convention. but after the
convention made it's choice remained
under the standard of the Republican
party.
To-night's rally was the opener In the
1912 campaign. Convention Hall Was
taxed to overfiowing and hundreds who
wanted to hear Secretary Stimson's s
speech were turned away from the door.
Preliminary to the rally the Uncle
Sans Marching Club paraded In force
to the hall.
Mr. Stimson said
There are to be certain changes in the
tarif-changes which may or may not

Which party is most likely to accomplish
those changes with the least danger to this
prosperity? On the one side the Republi-
cans Offer a definite programme which
includes a sufficient measure of protection
to allow all our present industries to go on
and yet which will prevent the possibility
Of excessive prices coming from excessive
protection. They offer YOU definite stan
dard of the amount OF the proposed reduc-
tion and a definite system according to
which the reduction Is to be made.
On the other side. you have Demo-

House OF Re representatives. which through hout
its session has been playing politics pure

are acting like men who know what they

Ettor, Giovannatti and Car,iso for their
alleged connection with the killing of
Anna Lopezzi at a strike riot at Lawrence
last winter. Two were newspaper men,
Harold T. Wheeler and Joseph p. Toye.
Wheeler told of various statements made
by Ettor. He said that when he told
Ettor that troops were coming Ettor
replied:
Il don't care IL they bring an army
here and put gallows on every street
corner. We showed them this morning
what we could do
Tove related remarks he heard Ettor
make. One of these follows:
IF the licenses to carry arms which have
been granted to the scabs in the mills
are not revoked We will keep the shops
busy selling us guns. I'll get one my
self"
District Attorney Attwill in his opening
address said that Ettor and his associates
were responsible. and the former directly
responsible, for the killing Of the woman

would prove the latter said in Italian at

VIII Not Talk Politics.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 18.--Three more
days will bring the Presidential campaign
Of Gov. Wilson to close. This, at least,
was the expectation Of the Democratic
candidate when he boarded his private
car Federal here at II o'clock tonight
for the trip into Delaware West Virginia
and Pennsylvania, which he felt unable
to cancel entirely, notwithst anding his
inclination to do 80 after the shooting
Of Col. Roosevelt.

at Pittsburg Friday night. Then he will
hasten back to attend the meetings to be
held in Carnegie Hall, New York, and the
Academy OF Music. Brooklyn. The Gov
up the New York visit entirely, and he
would have done 80 had the meetings
been arranged by the National Committee
instead Of by local organizations and
supporters whom he was unwilling to
disappoint.
that although he expects to make few
talks in Delaware and West Virginia
and one in Pittsburg he considers the
campaign so far as he is personally
concerned at practical end. In the
speeches to follow he will carefully avoid
all crltlclem OF tne tnlrO party, uS pOlCleS
or its leader, and will probably touch very
lightly upon any Of the national issues.
He has prepared no speeches, but it is
his present purpose to talk of local SUBJ
jects In each OF the places visited. In
short, his few public appearance from
now on will be in the nature Of formally
fulfilling obligations. which he il unwilling
to shirk. but from which he will not seek
to make political capital.
Gov. Wilson said tonight the shooting
Of Col Roosevelt did not cause him any
anxiety as to his own safety. Neither
has he taken any precautions for his
protection. II anything sof this kind
ia undertaken it will be by the local author
tiles of the places he visits. He will be
accompanied on his trip by Col. William
Libbey, his personal aid.
When asked whether there was not
a possibility Of his being induced to take
the stump again the Governor replied
that OF course II Col. Roosevelt should
recover with sufficient rapidity to resume
active campaigning his own plans might
be changed, but in no other event. He
was kept constantly informed as to the
condition Of Col. Roosevelt. and seemed
much pleased by the favorable reports.
The Governor spent quiet but by no
means idle day. He kept in close touch
over the telephone with acting Chairman
William G. McAdoo and the various con-
ferences in progress at national head
quarters. Among his visitors during
the day were Representative Albert S.
Burleson Of Texas and Judge William r.
King Of Oregon

 Important.

 WaShIngton.-Tari revision will continue to occupy both houses of con- gress for time. When the house passes the excise income tax bill and submits woolen schedule revision to the Democratic caucus the revision program there will have been ended.
 The Democratic revision measures are piling up in the senate. The fin ance committees adverse report on the house iron and steel bill will be made. Chairman Penrose and his Re- publican colleagues will make an elab- borate statement Of their attitude on the revision bills
 The Finance Committee heard Chair man Emery of the tariff board on the house chemical tariff bill, hearings on which will occupy some time. Hear. ings on the house free sugar bill will follow the chemical bill.
 Meantime the Democrats and pro- gressive Republicans are no nearer an understanding though some of them express confidence that the talked of common ground might be reached on some tariff legislation
 Democratic leaders in the house are determined to speed up legislation. Some members of the ways and means committee and many other Democrats are insisting upon free wool to which Democratic leader Underwood is as much opposed as he was originally to free sugar.
 Mir. Underwood's idea is 10 report schedule which would conform to the conference report ou schedule K, of the present law last summer, which provided a 2 per cent advaiorem tariff on raw wool
 Disposition for the excise bill in the house will open the way for fur ther consideration of appropriation bills The postoffice bill which would establish q parcels post system will be considered under a special rule Opponents of parcels post have op posed the bill on the ground that il bears new legislation point the new rule is designed to meet.

BOILER EXPLODES;
 MANY ARE KILLED
Thirty-two Killed, Fifty Hurt, When Locomotive Blows
 Up in Yards.

San Antonio. Tex.-At least g men were killed and more than 50 injured when the boiler of locomotive No. 704 exploded in the shop yards of the Southern Pacific railroad here. The property loss will approximate $200,- 900. A committee of railroad officials, army officers and citizens made an investigation and the opinion prevail ed that the explosion was probably due to carelessness of some one-now dead-in allowing cold water to run into the hot boiler of the locomotive.
 The locomotive, big passenger mogul, was practically new. It had just been brought out of the shops and was being inspected by three men, all of whom were standing on the run ming board, at the time of the explo- sion. Their bodies probably never will be recovered, the force of the eX- plosion having scattered arms. legs, heads and mangled trunks for blocks around
 Strikebreakers have been employed at the Southern Pacific shops here ever since the shopmens strike be- gan several months ago. The explo- sion was immediately followed by ru- mors in the downtown section of San Antonio that dynamite was the cause, but investigation at the yards showed
 no indications that such rumors had started there or were believed there.
 The victims are said to be largely
 men who were employed as strike breakers. San Antonio has been prac- tically free from violence throughout

 The men at work in the shops were in the majority of cases from out of
