President Taft Says Any Man With
Blood in His Veins Must
Fight Misrepresentation
HAS BEEN FORCED
TO FIGHT ROOSEVELT
Great Crowds Greet the President
as He Closes a Whirlwind Cam
paign in Eastern Massachusetts
at Close of Spirited Contest

BOSTON. April 29.-President Taft
ended in Boston tonight twelve
hours campaign through eastern
Massachusetts. From the time he be-
gan speaking in Attleboro until his
last address in Melrose the president
was greeted by large crowds. AT
Lowell the crowd was so great that
several members of his own party
could not get into the hall until after
he started speaking.
Not in Taft's Vocabulary
During the Lowell address. when
Taft alluded to Roosevelt's charges
against him, a man in the gallery per-
sisted in shouting Hes a liar TAFT
said he appreciated the support of his
friend in the gallery, but was forced
to decline to use his vocabulary.
The president, after expressing a
regret that necessitated president
minghng in a political struggle, said
no man has a right to mlSrepresellt
another to get into Office.
Man of Straw No Longer
ct was a man of straw he de-
clared, "but I have been a man of
straw long enough Every man who
has blood in his body and who has
been misrepresented as l have been is
forced to fight"
In the first half-dozen speeches OF
the day the president did not allude
to Roosevelt by name, but as he came
nearer to the colone'S footsteps he
warmed up to the subject and assailed
Roosevelt time after time. Virtually
every town the president visited was
a manufacturing center and in many
places the mills shut down and the
schools closed to welcome him.

INVESTIGATION
NEARLY CLOSED
Senate Committee About Through
With Inquiry Into Causes of
Titanic Disaster
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
TO BE MADE ON WIRELESS
Withholding News on the Part of
the Operators Is Censured and
Legislation Offered to Prevent
Repetition

WASHINGTON, April 29.--After a
day of discussion intended to discover
the needed reforms in the use of wire
less telegraphy at sea, the senate com
mittee investigating the Titanic dis
aster entered today on the final stage
of its inquiry.
Tomorrow the officers and crew of
the sunken ship Will be released and
at the same time j. Bruce Ismay will
be quizzed as to his ideas of regula-
tons to make the repetition of the
disaster impossible. 1t is clear that
committee will advocate legisla ton
preventing wireless operators on ship
board holding back details of dis
asterS
Mistake to Withhold News
Guglielmo Marconi and Edward
Sammis of the Marconi company both
acknowledged that a mistake was
made in inStructing the operators on
the Carpathia not to give out anything
until they saw Marconi. Sammis,
while on the stand, bitterly resented
the imputation that this was done for
the purpose of suppressing news from
the Carpathia. He asserted he told
the operators to hold personal stories
for sale as a reward for them. He
said: 81 thought it would brace them
up"
Sammis said, however, that the
Carpathia's operators were not to
blame for not sending out news in
any event If there was any blame to
be attached to anyone, he said, 1t
should be to the captain of the Car
pathia, who is censor OF all wireless
messages from his ship. Operators, -
said Sammis "are there to send and
receive. They send nothing the cap
tain does not pass on"
After consultation with Ismay, Cap
tain A. s. Franklin made a statement
to the committee in behalf OF Ismay
and himself, absolving the wireless
and cable companies from withhold
iEg from the committee any message
sent or received in connection with
the disaster.
Bride Made $1,000 on Story
During the hearing today Operator
Harold Bride, the surviving operator
of the Titanic. was recalled. He testi-
Fl, | he received $1,000 for his story
from New York newspaper. Bride
was also further examined regarding
the hour the Californian tried to get
him and regarding the alleged refusal
of the Titanic to answer him. Bride
said the message referred to iceberg
warnings and the delay was about 90
minutes. When he got the MESA ge
he gave it to the officer in charge on
the bridge. Bride also stated that If
the Titanic had given his position to
the steamer Frankfurt there might
have been a different story today
Fourth officer BoXhall was recalled
to testify about the distance a light
can be seen at sea. He said he doubt
ed that a rocket could be seen IA
miles. the distance Chairman Smith
said the Californian WAS separated
from the Titanic.

PARLIAMENT is AGIT.ATED
Thinks the United States Is Too
Severe on Inquiry

LONDON. April 29.-Francis Dyke
Acland, parliamentary under secretary
of state and foreign affairs, on behalf
of the British foreign office rebuk ed
the members of the house of COM
mons who have been prone to accept
as gospel the garbled reports of ques-
tons asked by Senator Smith in the
Titanic investiga ton.
Steps, Acland stated, had been
TAX en- to secure an authoritative re-
port of the United States senatorial
committees proceedings in case it
may be of use in the English inquiry.
Acland said there We're Americans
aboard the Titanic and the right of
the United States to investigate the
sinking was clear. There was also no
question of power or authority legally
to summon British subjects while they
We're on American territory.

you vote for Taft you vote for these
men," said Colonel Roosevelt here to-
day after referring to Senators Lori

had nothing behind his campaign out
side of two or three states except the
support received from these men,
land their like and the great sinister
special interests which stand behind
these bosses"
Roosevelt devoted a large part of
his speech to a reply to the things
President Taft had been SAYING dur
ing the day at the other end of the
state, amid in the latter part of the day
entered upon d long-distance debate
by retorting to the presidents ut
terances.
Roosevelt said the president had
asserted he was stirring up class
hatred. This Roosevelt denied, de-
claring such talk was ''arrant non

In the same connection Roosevelt
said if "Taft's policy of fabby indie
cision and helpless acquiescence in the
wrong-doing of crooked bosses and
crooked financiers continues there will
grow up class hatred in this country"

other products, naturally is attra citing

No Definite Plans
1t has been impossible to learn here
whether the railroad people have

known that there Is construction work
in progress along the Columbia river

entrance to the Yakima valley by

the Milwaukee will insist, as soon as
possible, in getting into that valley on
it's own steel as soon as possible, and
that it will arrive at North Yakima by

Whatever is planned. the Yakima
valley folk may expect to see Mr..

RULING AFFECTS SOUTHWEST
NEW SCHEDULE WOULD HAVE
AFFECTED ALL CLASSES.
OF COMMODITIES.
PROVIDES LARGE INCREASE
IN MANY INSTANCES RATES
WERE RAISED FROM 40 TO
so PER CENT.

Washington, Aug. S1.--Increased
freight rates proposed by transconti-
mental railroads for transportation Of
commodities from eastern points to
Pacific coast terminals were suspend
ed today by the interstate commerce
commission from September 2 until
December 81, pending an investiga-
tion.
The tariffs suspended proposed
general increases on practically all
commodity freight from Atlantic sea-
board and middle western points OF
origin to destinations on the Pacific
coast ranging from i've to fifty per
cent. In most instances they we're
effected by the cancellation Of exist
ing commodity rates, thus automati-
cally transferring the commodities to
the higher classification scale of
charges.
While in some instances charges
would be reduced, checking by the
commission appears to indicate that
the reductions would apply to little
more than 10 per cent Of the west
bound traffic. The lowering Of rates
to such destinations as Spokane,
Wash, Reno, New, Tucson, Ariz., and
similarly situated cities. was in sub
stantial accord with the recent agree
ment made by shippers Of those
places with the railroads and sane
toned by the commission, as modift
cation Of the commissions findings
in what popularIy are known as the
Pacific coast cases."
These examples Of proposed IN
creases on commodities are cited by
the commission; 80 cents hundred
pounds ON automobiles; As cents on
furniture; rs cents on plate glass; 10
cents on petroleum products; 40 cents
on plumbing materials 20 cents Oh
stoves; and As cents on vehicles.
Generally, from points OF origin in
middle western states the charges are
somewhat lower although to many ar
ticles a blanket nate is applicable
alike to all Of the east and middle
west.
