Suspension of General Ainsworth
the first that ever has occurred in
the Office of the adjutant general
caused a profound sensation in army
and congressional circles II was
made the subject of a heated eN-
change on the floor of the house
where the army appropriation bill
was being debated, Neither general
Ainsworth nor other army or depart
ment officers or officials would dis
cuss It.
The action OF the president was
taken after several conferences with
Secretary Sumson. For some time
there had been friction between the
adjutant generals office and that of
the chief Of staff Clashes were not
uncommon and there was an almost
total lack Of cooperation. The bad
feeling eliminated when General
Ainsworth, in reply to Secretary slim
sons request for some statistical in
formation made such answer that the
secretary felt constrained to accep.
II as reflection upon his own integ
rity. and upon that Of other high
officers Of the department.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Colonel Roose-
Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco,
today made clear for the purpose or
publication his attitude ON the indus
trial commission, with which he pro-
poses the trust situation shall be con-
trolled in America.
His announcement came from the
hospital here, and was in reply to
writings of Louis Brandeis and
speeches of Governor Wilson in which
Colonel Roosevelt is accused of zen
deavoring to legalize monopoly by a
commission (which would have police
power to say to a favored corpora
ton you are legal and to an IN
favored corporation you are Illegal"
This absolutely is not my position.
said Colonel Roosevelt; sin fact, it Is
as near the antithesis of my position
as any declaration well could be-"
Mr.. Heney brought the statement
from the coloners room, quoting the
Progressive candidate as follows:
81 explained in part my position in
my Milwaukee speech when 1 said in
effect that the idea 1 had was that
there be passed e laws or that the
Sherman antitrust act should be
amended in such a way that there
would be a definition of what was
wrong eliminating the rule of rea-
SON feature: that there should be
this commission which would have
the power to sit in on the company's
books and business and should hav
the right to bring about obedience to
the law when infractions we're found"

This time the report comes from his
intimate friends, who a the secre-
tary has announced to them that he
is through with the job" and will
step out on the morning of March A
next, no matter who is elected as the
next President of the United States.
A Democratic President would, of
course, practically preclude Mr.. Will
son as head of the department, but,
according to his statements to his in
Inmates, neither Colonel Roosevelt nor
President Taft, under both of whom
he has served. could prevail upon him
to serve after noon ON March A.

TAFT WOULD
BOOST PROSPERITY
Head of Tariff League Declares
Wilson Is an Experiment.
Attacks Roosevelt.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Francis l.
Leland. president of the New York
County National Bank and the Amer
lean Protective Tariff League, said
today that business vas good
throughout the country. and declared
that the reelection of President Taft
was necessary to maintain the pres
ent high business status.
Mr.. Leland is a man Of varied in
terests and is in a position to know
much about general business inter-
ests. 1t was he who recently sub
scribed 81, 900, 900 to the Metropolitan
Museum of Arts.
Business is more than good" said
Mr.. Leland. IT'S better than it has
been in several years. Taft's reelec-
ton seems more and more probable
as the campaign progresses"
Mr.. Leland took the stand in favor
of protecting the American industries.
He said that the Progressive plat
form was fair as to protection but
he would not trust Roosevelt.
When asked if he thought Govern
or Wilson was a f~ree-trader, he re-
piled:
II do, although he tries to deny
1t. Mr.. Wilson would be an exper-
mental theory. The business of this
country is too great to be expert
mented with. The only ray of hope
for the continued prosperity is the
reelection Of Taft"

GOV. WILSON WOULD
JAIL MONOPOL|STS
Believes Prisons Would Not Be
crowded-Creeted by Big
Crowds.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 19.-Monopo-
lists who undersell their competitors
in the local market were threatened
with confinement in prison by Gov
ernor Wilson. An indefinite term in
Jail, the Governor said, would give
these gentlemen a chance 10 reflect on
their misdeeds. He later declared
that he had no fear of the jails being
overcrowded.
The Governor met with enthusiast
tic receptions throughout West Vir-
g1nta, despite a perpetual drizzle.
He tried to cancel two of the morn
ing meetings, but when his commit
tee persistently held out against him
he was obliged to slip a raincoat over
his pajamas and address the assem-
bled crowds from the ear platform
of the train.
At Clarksburg there was a big
crowd. The candidate was taken to
the opera house, where he faced an
audience of 1900. The Governor re-
viewed the issues and referred to the
assertions of the Taft Republicans
that Democratic success will bring
disaster, that factories will be closed
and workingmen thrown out of en-
ployment.
The meeting at Wheeling was an
open-air rally in front of the Court
House, from the steps on which the
Governor made an address.
In his Pittsburgh speech the Gov
ernor said in part: IT welcome the
opportunity of stating what 1 believe
to be the well-considered position OF
the Democratic party with regard to
the tariff. 1t Is absolutely essential
that we be frank with one another in
the discussion Of this fundamental
question.
1.-The Democratic party does not
propose free-trade or anything ap-
preaching free-trade. 1t proposes
merely a reconsideration of the tariff
schedules such as will adjust them to
the actual business conditions and in
trests of the country. Every obser-
want business man must have realized
long ago that the tariff schedules
were constructed in such a way that
business was not upon a normal
basis in the United States

A NEW FREDERICKSBURG BILL.

eTu HE Pierce Embarrassing bill, declared by the Supreme
III Court to have died on the Governors hands before he
vetoed it, may be given the benefit of a rehearing by
the court, although there seems to be no ground for a reversal
If Judgment. But why bother about this Intellectual act now?
Within three months the Legislature will meet and the Pierce
bill or some other bill can be introduced and passed, and if the
objection is again made by the Governor that the bill involves
200 much expense for the railroads the Legislature can repass
the bill over a veto. An opinion by the court may not be had
until after the Legislature adjourns, and if the court does not
reverse itself there won't be any embarrassing law next year.
A bill can be introduced and passed in January.

which has happened to him should
not be allowed to stop OF confuse this
fight. He asks the Democrats and
the Republicans to continue their

cHAUFFEURs ORGANIZE FOR REFORM.

XIII ANY of the motoring fatalities are caused by drunken
AVN chaufeurs taking their dissolute, companions out "for
a good time" in their employers cars and without the
owners permission or knowledge. 1t is encouraging to see the
members of this craft organizing themselves for reform. This
is the intent of the Gasoline Engineers Protective Association
Of the United States, just incorporated at Albany, whose de.
clared objects are to frown down ioyridng, drunkenness and all
forms of vice among chanfeurs, to stop speeding and reckless
driving and TO help the officers of the law maintain the rules of
the road. 1t would be a good idea for automobile owners, be.
fore employing chaufeurs, to require them to show certificates
of membership in such an association.

dent Taft received and made a
speech to a delegation of Jews repre-
senting the Independent Order of

How much we can do in the near
future in the matter of treaties with
other countries, so as to eliminate
discrimination in their treatment OF
our fellow citizens / cannot tell you.

cessful, but it may take a long time.

VIEW WORKS. ENORMOUS REALTY VALUES.

n SALE of property at 80 Wall street, New York, covering
Il Il $500 square feet, to a bank for $%1,500,000, or 1910 a
square foot, gives some idea of the enormous growth of
realty values in the metropolis. Eleven years ago, the last
time this plot changed hands, it brought 3, 100000. Here is
. 80 per cent. increment in a decade. And yet the recent sale
makes no new record for the city nor for the financial district,
bat only for that particular block. The high mark is $50 a
square foot for a half lot at Broadway and Thrty-fourth street
last December, and the downtown record is for a half lot at
l Wall street, about $500 a square foot. In both these cases
the price was exceptional because Il small lot was an obstruction.
TO large enterprise. Valuations stated by the acre make a still
more impressive showing. The Wall street half lot went at the
rate of $25,5O0OO0 per acre and the Thirty-fourth street cor
ner at $~3S,O00O00 an acre. No one who studies realty develop
ment in New York will be surprised five years hence to see
$1,000 per square foot, or at the rate of 1858 100000 per acre,
paid for land by some bank, business house or hotel.

Don Dickinson Joins Hand With
Bull Moose Forces to
Take Stump.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Don M.
Dickinson, of Michigan, one of the
best known Democrats in the West,
today declared for the election OF
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Dickinson was formerly ma
tional Democratic chairman and was
postmaster-general under President
Cleveland. He spoke fro mthe same
platform with Woodrow Wilson at a
recent meeting in Detroit and sup
ported the Governor at the primaries.
He will take the stump for the
Progressive national and State tick
cts, it was announced at the Pro-
gressive national headquarters.
Mr.. Dickinson holds the reactionary
propaganda of the Democratic and
Taft parties responsible for the shoot
ing Of Colonel Roosevelt.

more than twenty years" said MI.
Dickinson in a statement given oul
at headquarters, and there is not a
dishonest hair in his head or a cow
ardly cell In his brain. l consider
him the greatest man in the country.
"I have worked for the Democratic
party all my life and it was not until
after the most careful thought that
L decided to break associations OF
such long standing. When | became
convinced that the Progressive party's
platform was far ahead of the plat
forms of either of the old parties I
had no further hesitancy in nm
bracing the Roosevelt cause.
81 don't like the abuse the old
parties speakers have heaped upon
Mr.. Roosevelt. / hold It responsible
for the attack upon Colonel Roose-
welt. / hope and believe he will be
elected"

who has appropriated my best ideas
