ROOSEVELT TALKS
TO CHICAGO CROWD
Says Taft Will Not Be a Fac
tor in the Race.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was given an enthusiastic
welcome on his arrival here and hur
ried to headquarters in the Congress
hotel. The crowd cheered as the colo
mel stepped from the train.
He was received by a delegation OF
progressives, headed by George w
Perkins and Governor Hiram w. John.
o of California.
Standing in his automobile in front
of the hotel Colonel Roosevelt said:
II am very pleased again to be with
you in Chicago, and this time at the
birth of a new party and not at the
death of n l am convinced the PEG
pie will not stand for the convention
of weeks ago, especially as II
was against the interests of the PEG
pie. BY November the men nominated
at that convention will not be a factor
in the race.

boss and the crooked financier who
stands behind the boss and the news
paper owner are over.
"The channels of information have
been choked by the opponents of pop
ular government in the effort to pre-
vent the people from finding out what

BOTH MEN BADLY BRUISED
AeropIane Falls Fifty Feet at the
Grand Forks Fair.

Grand Forks Fair.
Aviator Frank w. Bell of st. Louis
and George A. Kolb, parachute jump
er, were nearly killed when the for
mer's aeroplane, from which Kolb was
to make a parachute Jump at Grand
Forks, capsized about fifty feet from
the ground, turning completely over
and throwing its passengers to the
earth. The machine was completely
wrecked.
Bell was held in his seat and the
heavy engine, when dislodged in the
fall, just grazed him. Kolb, known
as Balloon Red, was thrown thirty or
',rty feet away from the biplane and
landed in the field almost headfore-
most.
The accident occurred in plain view
of thousands of spectators at the
Grand Forks fair.
Bell and his passenger, preparatory
to the feature act, had risen from the
fair grounds and were flying into the
face of a storm and they were about
a mile from the grand stand when the
big machine suddenly dipped to one
side and the opposite planes turned
completely over, the machine landing
upside down.
Both men were seriously bruised,
but otherwise seem to have escaped
without serious injury.

HARVESTING IN FULL SWING
Reports Concerning Crop Conditions
Arc Favorable.

Harvesting operations throughout
the state are In full swing. General
reports concerning the crop condi-
tons are favorable. Only In a few
districts do the reports show that the
crop will be light and those sections
have poor prospects because of hail
storms, which means that the condi-
ton is only local.
Rye harvesting, which has been un-
der way about two weeks, is still in
progress, but most of that grain has
been reaped. Most of the early bar
ley also has been cut and the fields
have been found to be just as good
as expected and the. indications are
that the yields will be heavy.
Following warm weather, during
which the grain showed splendid
growth, there has come another gen.
eral rain, covering almost every Sec
tlon of the state. With the rain there
was, in some places, considerable hail,
but, while the damage from that
sonrce has been heavy in a few spots,
the general situation has been i'm
proved by reaso of the new mois-
ture. No more rain is needed now to
ripen the grains and carry them
through to maturity.
Machine men throughout the state
report big sales of harvesting nipple
nents, particularly in the western dis
tricts. There the farmers, who have
had short crops the past two years,
We're not so we'll supplied with har-
vesting equipment as were the farm
ers of the eastern district.
Travelling men also report the gen.
era. business situation as very good.
The merchants are buying heavily and
there is every indication that the
year will be a good one from the bust
ness point of view. While the state
will not break any records on wheat
production the other grains will make
the total value of the crops greater.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The United
States senate issued a warning to the
nations of the world against encroach-

and South America. The United States
will not see without grave concern"
said the senate, any suitable naval or
military site pass into control of a
foreign corporation, when such pos
session might threaten the communi-
cations or the safety Of the United
States"
So vital were the issues discussed
in the Lodge resolution which set
forth the policy of the United States
as to points situated like Magdalena
bay, in Lower California, that the
doors of the senate were closed for
three hours while the resolution was
debated in secret session. 1t finally
passed with only four votes against it.

cess to Virgin Territory.
Three new Northern Pacific branch
lines have been turned over to the op-
Grating department of that road. The
three lines embrace more than 200
miles of track and give access to en-
tirely new territory. The Pingree-
Wilton branch, running from Pingree
to Wilton, gives outlet to the country
immediate to Stutsman, Kidder and
Burleigh counties, in the central part
Of the state. The branch runs west
from Pingree.
Morton, Oliver and Mercer counties
are pierced by the Mandan to Stan
ton branch, which has been put into
operation. The line runs north from
Mandan along the west side of the
Missouri river, at right angles to the
Pingree-Wilton branch, reaching with
in ten miles of it in one place. The
third line turned I'VE to the operat-
ing department vas the new branch
from Glendive, Mont, to Sidney,

Heavy crops are predicted in these
sections reached by the new lines.

Charged with Making Steel
Trust Control Absolute.
REPORT OF INVESTIGATORS
Billion Dollar Corporation Accused OF
Un-American Methods In the
Treatment Of Employees.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Former Presi.
dent Roosevelt is indicted for making
the control of the "steel trust" abso-
lutte and the United States Steel cor
poration is 1ayed as an enemy of labor
in the majority report of the Stanley
steel trust" Investigation committee
of the house.
Methods un-American and foreign
to the best interests of labor are laid
at the door of the corporation and it is
accused of lowering the sociological
conditions of its employees.
j. p. Morgan and his associates are
held up as being the beneficiaries Of
enormous profits realized from the
overcapitalization of the subsidiary
companies and later of the corporation
itself.
Judge E. H. Gary and his dinners to
steel manufacturers are credited with
a scheme by which prices and terri
tory were controlled by the trust after
pooling agreements were discarded.
Principal stockholders of the cor
poration are accused of exerting a
powerful and injurious influence on
the business of the United States by
means of control exercised through in
t%erlocking directorates of railway and
Industrial organizations.
The activity of the corporation ir.
politics is laid bare and it's influence
described. The trust as a tariff bene-
fciary is touched upon by the Demo-
Gratis.
Remedial Legislation Suggested.
Three bills, outlining trust curbs,
were presented with the report. One
provides for amendment of the Sher-
man law to place the burden of proof
upon defendant corporations charged
with restraint of trade. Control of
80 per cent of any business is made
prima facie evidence of guilt. Another
provision gives each state and any
individual the right to bring injunc-
ton suits against a trust.
A second bill is designed to pre-
vent "interlocking directorates" among
railroad and industrial corporations.
1t is proposed to prohibit any officer
or employe of an industrial corpora
ton in the coal industry or manufac-
ture of structural steel and rolling
stock, from acting in a similar ca
pacity for a railroad.
Another bill seeks divorce of in.
dustrial and common carriers by pro-
hibiting mining or manufacturing COM
panies from owning stock in any car
rier.
The committee also recommends
that the bureau of corporations report
to congress in addition to the presi-
dent, providing publicity of corporate
combinations.
