REDS FUNDAMENTALLY EXPECTED < TO INVADE CITY UNCHECKED
 BY FAST RETRIEVING BLUES
Regiments Encamped Here Last Night Start Early This Morning for Hill to Occupy Camp Vacated By Other Blue Regiments That Fell Back
 to Bedding Ridge Nf

The Red army won another victory, today, and are now encamped on the grounds occupied by the Blue army, this morning. Today probably saw the last of the small engagements be- tween attachments and, tomorrow s battle will, in all probability, deter mine the fate of New York City. The commanders. tomorrow, will spend all their efforts in that direction.
 ToGay's engagement took place place around Walnut Tree Ridge, Tn Huntington. The First and Second Massachusetts brigade under General Pew moved north at o'clock and turned west and attacked the first brigade, New York infantry, on the ridge. The Red cavalry under Col. Grierson, eight troops, moved south of the Red infantry and held off 12 troops of the Blues under Colonel Parker after hard fight south of Huntingdon. The Massachusetts troops made fierce attack on the ridge and before. closing with the enemy three batteries of artillery gained a posi- ton on the heights in the rear of the Red and poured galling fire on the Blues, firing over the heads of the Reds.
 In the middle of this fight a Red brigade from Zoars Bridge was dis covered by the Blue commander marching north toward the left flank. This Red brigade forced the com mander of the Blue detachment to retreat to the west covered by his cavalry. The Red army then as- sembled land camped on the field of battle.
 With the Blue army apparently planning to concentrate its forces in the vicinity of Bedding Ridge, which I Bridgeport and Danbury, and the Reds fast advancing across the country, headed for the same point, there Is every reason to believe that one of the most important fights of the war maneuver will take place in the neigh borhood of the old home of Mark Twain, tomorrow forenoon The dif- ferent bodies of the Blue army were reported late today on contemplated movement with Bedding Ridge for their objective point The forces which have been camped in the vicin- ity of Long Hill spent the day nov ing in that direction and this fore noon a detachment of Blues from Red ding Ridge camp, left to meet them, carrying along two field pieces which are supposed to take up the rear guard.
 The Blues who were defeated at Zoar bridge yesterday are also re- treating toward Redd1ng Ridge and are being closely followed by troops of the Red army. The Blues which camped in this city last night. at Brooklawn and. at East Bridgeport, started early today for Long Hill to take up the camp vacated there by the other forces that are moving on to- ward Bedding Ridge. This will place the troops which spent last night in this city to a position almost on a direct line between the Red army regiments that passed through Shell ton yesterday and were encamped at Huntington last night. and are sup posed to be on the march today head ed direct for Long Hill. It is barely possible that the forces from the Blue army which are advancing with all

TAFT NOW PUTS HIS VETO
 ON STEEL BILL, CLAIMING
 II WOULD HURT ROCKINGHAM
President in His Message to the House Says Principle of Pro- lection Was Not Considered in Framing the Measure
 and His Pet Tariff Board Was Again Ignored

Washington. Aug. e14-Basing his objection on the fact that the bill would be disastrous to the' iron and steel industry and that it was revi- sion of the tariff without ample study and investigation, President Taft, to- day, sent message to the House vetoing the steel bill.
 The message declared that, despite the statement of Democrats that the bill was prepared basically to revise iron and steel manufactures, less than one-third of the revision was applied to those products. Fifty-nine allied industries, the President asserted, were directly affected.
 ''The ways and means committee avowed," the message said, sstliat the principle of protection had not been considered but that in framing the present revision, the committee had adopted the general principle of re- ducing all duties to a revenue basis so far as practicable, excepting those eases where more important consid- eration than those relating gto the financial policy of the government de- ter the transfer of given items to the free list This makes clear cut is- sue between the protective policy and that of a tariff for revenue only and without fuller information, therefore, I am obliged to treat this bill as a revenue bill and one in which the consideration of preserving the indus try by maintaining a tariff necessary to do so had little weight There is nothing to show me that the duties provided will equal the difference in the cost of production here and abroad in the great line of industries and that the wages of the workmen will not be reduced by measure which avow- edly discards entirely the principle of fair protection It should be noted that the laborer. employed in the sew pndary industries which have had 90 little consideration in this bill, is in a large measure high grade, skill Ia borer commanding the highest of wages" g
 The message declared that, before revision there should at least be pub lie hearings and plenty of time for careful study of rates.
 TT am not prepared to say that there are no items in this schedule which might not well be reduced" the President declared

The negress claims the boy as her own but a third degree developed numer- ous5 contradictions in her story and the boy himself told of his ttwhite mother and of beatings which she administered because he called her mother
 The child was found by the police after. having been imprisoned in a dark room for at least month. His physical condition is such that the police have postponed further exami- nation of the boy.

SHOWER OF FLAMES OVER AUTO WHEN
 GAS TANK BURSTS
Special to The Farmer )

Southport. Aug. 14.-While stop ping in Southport shortly after o'clock this morning with trouble with his auto, the gasoline tank on the touring car of Dr. R. M. Wolfe of South Norwalk exploded sending showers of fire over the machine and the roadway. That Dr. Wolfe and his friends were out of the car at the time was the only thing that saved them from receiving burns. The flames attacking the car, a call was sent. in for the fire department. The firen1en succeeded in subduing the flames but not until the machine had been considerably damaged.
 Dr. Wolfe estimated his loss at about $500. With three friends pr. Wolfe had been returning from the seat of the war and passing through Southport found trouble with the gas supply. He had been at the car for more than an hour when the ex- plosion occurred. This morning the damaged machine was lowed back to NorWalk.

0DELL RECALLS FUND RAISED
 BY HARTMAN Tells Probe Committee of Rail- road Magnate's Prominent Part in 1904 Campaign It Was at ROOsevelt's Solicitation That the Financier Got
 $24O,0O0 From Wall
 Street

Washington, Aug 14-E. H. Harri- man, the late railroad king. who help- ed the Republican campaign in New York State in 1904 and Harrimans s conferences during that year with President Roosevelt, figured in testi- mony given to the Senate investigat- ing committee today, by Ben B. Odel1, 1904 manager for the State campaign. Odell prefaced his examination with the declaration that all records of the finances of the State campaign that year had been destroyed.
 Tt was customary in those days, he explained.
 The witness explained that in 1904 the State committee collected $20o, ,00C outside the national committees as- signment of $500,000 for their work
 Odell was asked if his attention had ever been called to a letter purport- ing to have been written by Hartman to Sidney Webster in 1906 in which that in 1904 President Roosevelt had sent a request for him to come to Washington.
 "I have seen the letter. the wit ness answered.
 Do you know anything aside from what appears in it?' asked Senator Clapp.
 T do." said odeli. "Early in Octo- Der. 1904, was invited by MT. Harri- man to lunch with him. I accepted and during the luncheo he showed me a letter from President Roosevelt asking him to. come to Washington. We had some conversation as to why the President wanted to see Harri- man and told Hartman that in my opinion the President wanted to ask him as to political conditions in New York and consult him as to the finan- cial situation MT. Hartman. came to Washing ton and saw Colonel Roosevelt. A few days later | had breakfast with Hartman and he told me I was cor rect in my opinion as to the confer ence. It was shown in that confer ence that the President was uneasy concerning the State ticket in New York; Continuing, odeH5 said that the na- Aienhi seoEn1niGtee had advised him .ot the inability to raise even $zG0O00 of the $500 0,0O0 promised the New York State committees for the campaign.
