here today added new chapter to the
history of the harvester trust. Speak
ing to an audience that filled the Lyric
theater, Mr.. Taft decla ared that Col.
Theodore Roosevelt did prevent the
prosecution of that trust after George
W. Perkins, one of his directors and
now Roosevelt supporter, had asked
that the trust not be taken into court.
Mr.. Taft said his predecessors atti-
tude toward the trusts showed clearly
that he wished to perfect q benevolent
despotism that would discriminate be-
tween the good and the bad trusts. !"
He also said Mr.. Roosevelt had
changed from his attitude regarding
his entr ance into the political race to
that of being an active campaigner for
the nomination aud insisted that Mr..
Roosevelt was striving to make this
campaign one in which the man who
had little should be arrayed against
him who had more.
In concise form he listed the achieve
ments of his administr alton and the
charge which Mr.. Roosevelt had
made against it, declaring in his term
in the White house there had been
more progressive legislation enacted
than in any previous presidents term
since the civil war.

clare there has been loss of life in tn at
part OF Louisiana inund ated by the
Mississippi river, which rushed
through the breach in the levee at
Torras. 1t is said that motor boats
sent to take numerous persons from
flo oating housetops arrived too late.
How many persons perished cannot
be determined. Refugees at the cen.
tralization camps are hurried hither
and thither. Sometimes families are
scattered and persons have been re-
ported ''missing" who simply have
been sent from one camp to another.
Nevertheless large numbers OF ref
ugees say they have seen entire fam.
lilies swept from housetops. The lead
ers of the rescue corps admit that sew
eral times they have sent motor boats
to points where families had taken
refuge on tops of houses and that
when the boats arrived their crews
found only the buildings, buffeted
about by the current and half of their
roof surface submerged.
There are at least 1000 persons who
remained to be rescued from the cur
rent west of Lettsworth and Bachelor.
Some of them are drifting about on
hastily constructed rats.

Tsy Telegraph to The Tribune J

Chicago, July America celebrated
,ts sanest Fourth to-day. The adoption
since last year by many additional
cities, villages and hamlets Of regula-
lions forbidding the sale or use OF nre-
works resulted to-day in further saw
ing Of life and a lessening of the number
Of MANNED.
In cities and villages In which the sale
of fireworks was forbidden the number
Of casualties was greatly reduced.
In places where the use Of fireworks
vas forbidden and the regulation en-
forced by the police there were no cas-
ualties.
The success Of the sane Fourth idea
as A lifesaver in cities which adopted IL
last YEAR and the year before resulted IN
the spread Of the idea to scores OF small
or towns this year The reports OF sat-
isfaction found I'm the sane method indl-
cate there will be a still wider extension
before the next Fourth Of regulations
forbidding the use of fireworks
The realization by municipal authori-
tiea that absolute prohibition or the use
Of fireworks is the only way to assure
Fourth without casualties is apparent in
the nature of the ordinances now being
adopted as compared with those of previ-
Gus years, which forbade only the use OF
certain of the more dangerous kinds of
fireworks. With few exceptions the
large cities were free from accidents
Yesterday. The casualties that occurred
were mostly in the country districts.
Chicago's sanity in observing the
Fourth was proved by the entire ab-.
sence Of serious injuries. Police reports
gave only three accidents. not one seri-
Gus and not one due to the carelessness
OF the person hurt. Two were struck by
stray bullets and the third was kicked
by a frightened horse. Last year one
Chicagoan was killed and twenty-four
were hurt. The four years previous
showed thirty lone deaths and more than
five hundred hurt many seriously
