them. the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
Borough OF Queens meeting at the Wal

ton urging the official bodies OF the city to
see that the seth street branch OF the pro-
posed subway and all other needed routes
connecting Queens with the traffic centres
Of Manhattan, whether by the Inter

legalized before the citys proposed ar
rangement with the lnterborough was
closed. 49,.
Resolutions were also passed suggesting
that tracking rights be granted 10 both
companies over the Woodside. Corona lines
in order that Inhabitants of those districts
might not be forced 10 reach the east side
OF Manhattan by way OF Seventh avenue,
as would be the case II the Brooklyn COM
pany had the sole right. and also that II
the Interborough were granted the opera.
tion OF either OF the Queens lines II should
be placed under an obligation TO equip and
omen II as soon as constructed.
President McAneny, arriving IN the

more things to be considered in II than the
Queens men dreamed Of. The suggestions

cred by the subway committee. he said, but
II was too early TO announce the decision.

LlTTLET0N KNOCKS WILSON
Says Any Man Who Stands for
"Unholy Trinity" Invites Defeat.

Philadelphia, Feb. 16. - Congressman
Martin w. Littleton made It very plain In
an interview to-day that Governor Wood
candidate for President. so far as he was
concerned. and that any man who stands
for the "unholy trinity" initiative. referen-
dunn and recall. would invite defeat.
Mr.. Littleton characterized Governor VIII
sons conversion TO the "unholy trinity
AS he called the initiative, referendum and
recall, as an intellectual tragedy, and by a
process of elimination he announced him
self as favorable to Mayor Gaynor first, II
he be a candidate for the nomination; Har-
mon second. and Underwood, third. Mr..
Littleton continued:
In my Judgment the initiative. referen-
dunn and recall are the most dangerous
nostrums which have been proposed since
this government was formed, a century
stitutional government as well as constt-
tuted government. and have brought disas-
ter wherever they have been tried.
Such q delegation OF authority to the
whimsical passions Of the people would
sound the doom of our well arranged
ago / believed implicitly in Governor VIII:
son and ! was one OF those who hailed
him as man who! II he ever became
President, would stand for all that was
best in our form Of government. II IS not
that criticise or object TO his inconsistency
ject expressed in his books and former
teachings, but I am made sad by the
thought that such a superb mind should
adopt such theories.

BARNES AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Says Latter Has Strayed from
Real Republican Principles.

Albany. Feb. 16.-William Barnes, jr,
chairman of the Republican State Commit
tee. addressing several hundred of his fol-
lowers at the close of the fifteenth annual
dinner of the Albany County Republican
organization early to-day, had this TO say
of Theodore Roosevelt:
No greater error could be committed at
ciples TO which we adhere than to revile
or uphold any man, deluded though ne
may be, in his endeavor TO break down
those fundamental principles OF indlVlduaI
liberty and constitutional rights. which
form the foundation Of our government and
which must be the reality of the Republi-
can party because for a few hours or days
whom We have In the past given our votes
has strayed through devotion to false gods
from the real principles Of the Republican
party.
No matter what may be the apparent
reason, as given in the newspapers, we
must not forget that during the term OF
office I'm which he held the Presidency of
the United States he performed a wonder
full service to the people OF this country
and that although we do not believe IN
establishing In this country a pure indl-
VidualiSm vet we do not forget all the
great services he has rendered 10 the peo-
ple in these DAYS of the Spanish war and
of the inauguration Of the Panama Cdnal
although to-day We may utterly deprecate
what apparently is an unfortunate error OF
judgment
Mr.. Barnes defined the true Progressive
as 'the man who holds 10 the conserVa-
tive doctrine that has given US the reason
for being.

HEAR RECALL DENOUNCED
Riverside Republicans. Cheer
Reference to the President.

The initiatiye, referendum and recall we're
discussed at a special meeting of the River
side Republican Club, No l57 West s7th
street, last night. There were no pros It
was ali con. Henry A. Wise. United States
Attorney, and Abraham Gruber were the
speakers.
Government under these three new pro-
visions would mean no less than mob rule,
in the opinion of Mr.. Wise. Mr. Gruber
styled them political clothes by which cer-
tain politicians were seeking to get into
office. Both speakers insisted that their
adoption would mean an undermining of
the Constitution and the loss of real lib-
erty as provided for and protected in that
great document
II the initiative and referendum we're in,
troduced, the proper governmental checks
and balances provided for In the Constitu-
tion in the powers of the President and the
Senate, which were there to prevent the
majority from doing an injustice; would be
wiped out, Mr.. Wise said.
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Wise. not as
the statement Of, "a politician, but after
earnest consideration Of the subject. II
the initiative, referendum and recall were
adopted generally, it would mean the COM
plete emasculation Of the first three articles
of the Constitution. which would mean in
turn the abolishment in toto Of the form
OF government under which we have lived
for the last 125 years
Under the recall we would get a Judi
ciary always fearful of being recalled If 1t
rendered a decision contrary TO the wishes
of a bare majority, which would be no
judiciary at. all, but merely rubber stamp,
which would be able to amend the Con-
stitution In direct contradiction to the pro-
visions of the Constitution itself II would
mean decisions by the mob and not by the
judiciary"
Mr.. Gruber described these three politi
cal notions" as akin to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver In the ratio Of l6
to l. and other '.quack remedies" He said:
why not be honest if we believe in this
claptrap, and work for the nomination OF
Bryan, the daddy of them all? From La
Toilette to Roosevelt, the so-called Pro-
gressives are only cheap imitators Of the
great Bryan. am decidedly for Taft, our
upright and courageous President, who, de-
spite the clsmorings of the La Follettes
and Roosevelts. believe is going to be re-
elected by a large majority"
Mr.. Gruber's reference to the President
was loudly cheered by the members and
friends Of the club who filed the club
