 New Haven Chamber of Commerce
TEXAS SENATOR FEARS NATION IS IMPERILLED
President Has Abiding Faith That Socialists Wi After Time Discriminate Between Good Cloth and Fustian" Bailey Characterzes Socialism as the Dream of Dis

Monopoly is an evil. The way to cure it is by enforcing the law as your re- publican president has been trying to do. When you try to cure monopoly by socialism the remedy is worse than the disease. It is the dream of a dis eased mind that monopoly can be cured in that way"
 Words of Praise for Taft.
 The senator pleaded for the educated, trained man in halls of legislation.
 Senator Bailey said that people who had called themselves democrats had been led astray by false doctrines. Republicans when they talk about Bryan should not forget their own La Toilette. l want you to unite on a common policy. We democrats had principles; you republicans had just policy What I want you to do is to unite and fight without flinching the common enemy of the country, social ism I want to say th2t no republican who ever held the office of president has tried to be more faithful to the people of this country than William Howard Taft. I would like to beat him for the presidency, but not by lying about him.
 An Attack of "Bryanitis."
 In speaking of the dem6cratic party the senator said it had had an attack of "Bryanitis," adding the democratic party will come into it's own again when it has made the fight for the old fashioned principles of our fathers.

600 ENGLISH SPEAKING
 ToILERS JOIN STRIKE
Yesterday Quiet Day and Militia
 mon Get Chance to Rest.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 19.-Consid- erable additions to the ranks of the striking textile workers, whose num- bers have steadily increased since the inception of the strike eight days ago, were made today. At a meeting of six hundred English-speaking operatives a vote to strike was taken and it is claimed that as many more of the same class of operatives will abide by the decision of the meeting and will refuse to go to work tomorrow The strikers, most of whom are foreign CTS unable to speak English, 1t is said, consider this addition to their ranks important, and say that the absence of the English speaking operatives may result in several of the mills be- ing entirely closed.
 About 700 foreign operatives, most of whom are employed at the Arling- ton mills, also quit today, making the total number of persons who are now voluntarily remaining away from work approximately 16.e0o. The strike em- braces every mill in the city.
 The day was one of entire quiet, A heavy rain dampened the demonstra- tive spirits of the strikers and even the parades and largely attended meet ings which have been features Of the past few days were missing. It proved a day of rest for the militianen who were forced to make but little show of arms to prevent trespass or too en- thusiastic picketing. The fear had been expressed that with the sa- looms open after a shutdown of three days and payment being made to striking and other operatives at four milla, trouble might develop. But night fall found only one arrest made and all saloons were closed at o'clock.

House Investigating Committee Sustains Him Ex-
 cept in Few UnmpOrtant Details
THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE IS UNANIMOUS
of Committee Not Yet Made Pubic But is Known That Suggestion is to be Made That Dr.
 Wiley Have Free Hand-Doctor Claimed Efforts to En- force Pure Food Laws Were Frustrated by His Associates

Washington, Jan. 19.-Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau of the department of agriculture, the storm center of the food administra- tion controversy last summr, is given a clean bill of health in the report of the house committee which investigat- ed the charges and counter charges. In it's report, which will be presented to the house next Monday, the com mittee sustains Dr. Wiley all along the line, except on technical unimportant details.
 Report is Unanimous.
 The evidence taken in the case was voluminous, and 1t is not repeated in the report except by brief references. The document is confined to the actual conclusions of the committee. The re- publican members of the committee joined with the democrats in making the report unanimous. The report of the sHb- committee was amended in a number of particulars, including it's references to the Remsen board, which investigated and passed expert judg- ment upon the greater food problems.
 No Politics in Report.
 There is no politics in the report. {" said Chairman Moss of the commit tee. This fact together with compro- mises on some of the matters about which the members of the committee had differences of view, permitted a full agreement.
 Suggests Free Hand for Wiley.
 The report pays much attention to the Remsen board and to the activity of Solicitor McCabe, who was the principal opponent of Mr. Wiley in the department and in general recom- mends that Dr. Wiley be given a free hand in the enforcement of the pure food and drug law, thus limiting very largely the power formerly exercised by Solicitor McCabe. This limitation already has been put into effect under the action taken by President Taft shortly after the adjournment of the extra session, brought the active con- gressional investigation to a close.
 Recommendation Not Made Public.
 The final stamp of approval of the conclusions reached after the months Of investigation was affixed by all the members of the committee today. The committee Immediately ordered the re. port printed confldentially and declin- ed to announce the recommendation until the report Is made public nsx Monday.

A Lonq Investigation.

The investigation was made by the house committee on expenditures in the department of agriculture and it's hearings during the recent extra ses- sion of congress awakened national in-- terest. Secretary Wilson, Dr. Wiley, Solicitor McCabe and a host of other witnesses contributed to the revela- tions regarding the demoralized condi- tions surrounding the administration of the pure food law.
 Wiley Said His Efforts. Were Frus-
 trated.
 In the course of these hearings Dr. Wiley said most of his rulings were arbitrarily overruled and that few prosecutions for violations of the dr1Ie law were prepared, because many lines of inquiry were taken out of ilis i1ands aud turned over to the Remsen ref- cree board for investigation. He said his hands were thus absolutely par- alyzed." His decisions conficeed with the Rennsen board, and he said that the least that could be done for Sha pubhs protection was to prohibdt the use of foods or drugs until the board had decided in favor of their use. Ha added that this policy had not besex carried out. The biggest couttCvernE DetNeeu Iliil dnO Luo fem1en o03kuI was over the chemistry bureau@ nRA-, ing that benzoate of soda was haxHA-e ful.
 One Point Against Wiley. 2,
 Virtually the only dAssent from th6 sweeping verdict for Dr. Wiley iM based upon the irregular employment of Dr. H H. Rusby of New YoElr as . s20 day expert, a compensation wfAch was not to aggregate over $1ya00 iu any one yeaf, the amount authorised under the law It was for this em- plOyment at that per diem rate to get around the official limitation oG pay for such services to S1.6e0 that the personnel board of the depart ment first, and then Attorney Gen. eral WiokershaEs recommended the res moval of Dr. Wiley from office.
 Dunlap Hears the News.
 Dr. Wilsy's assistant, Dr. Dunlap, found a. memorandum of the agree ment on this subject when DT. Wiley was absent, and reported 1t to Secre- taFy Wilson. Dr. Dunlap almost in- variably sided with Solicitor McCabe in the decisions by the pure food board, of which Dr. Wiley was the other member.

SECOND ATTEMPT TO
CHEAT ELECTRIC CHAIR
New York Wife Murderer Tried to
 Swallow Jagged Piece of Tin.

New York, Jan. 19.-For the second time since he was convicted of wife murder, Joseph Ferrone, sentenced to death in the electric chair, attempted suicide today. His last effort to take his own life was by swallowing a jagged piece of tin while being taken to the death house in Sing Sing prison on a New York Central train. The day he was convicted Ferrone at tackled a juAyman and tried to kill himself by slashing his throat with a piece of broken watch crystal
 Ferrone was taken to the train to- day shortly after being carried, manacled hand and foot and bound to a litter into court where Judge Foster sentenced him to die during the week of February 26. The train on which he was riding in charge of the sheriff and several deputies was speeding up the Hudson valley when it was noticed that Ferrone was making convulsive efforts to swallow. The attendants seized him, forced open his mouth and found he was trying to gulp down jagged piece of tin. Another piece of the metal was found in his possession. After that a constant watch was kept upon him until he was turned over to the warden of Sing Sing prison.

"PLAYBoY" PERFORMERS
 HELD IN $500 EACH.
Released on Bail Pending a Decision
 in Their Case.

Philadelphia, Jan. 19-The eleven Irish actors and actresses who are touring the United States giving plays dealing with life in their country were arraigned here today before a magis- trate on a charge of producing an i'm moral play in the 'Playboy of the Western World" Later they sought to obtain their release in the criminal court upon writ of habeas corpus The magistrate held the players in $500 bail each and Judge Carr, to whom the case was carried after hearing lasting several hours, per- mitted the bail 10 stand pending his decision in the case.
 Two priests of the Roman Catholic church were the principal witnesses in the proceedings today. One of them, the Rev. P. F. McGarrity, said that the play was degrading because it holds up to admiration a parricide" and that 1t was blasphemous because of the unnecessary use of the word God" The play, the priest said 'is immort al, indecent and sacrilegious be- cause 1t is a travesty on the sacra- ment of matrimony."
 Testimony along similar lines was given by other witnesses.
 After the bail bonds had been en- tered the players left the courtroom to prepare for tonight's performance. This, however, was a production other than the play in dispute. During several performances of the "Playboy'' in this city serious disturbances oc- cured in the theater and a number of arrests were made. In some instances the players were made the target of decayed eggs and vegetables thrown by persons in the audience
 
 testified that he was at the theater with his wife and that he found noth- ing of an immoral or corrupting na- ture in the play.

 OLD SPANISH SPINDLE.
Was Bound for Spain When "Put
 Wise" By a Detective.


 New York. Jan. 19.-A detective from police headquarters saved Charles M. Olsen of Portland, Oregon, S15,000 and a futile trip to Madrid whither Olsen was bound in answer to letter sent some time ago. The detective found Olsen aboard the French liner La Bretagne about to sail, persuaded him to go to police headquarters and then proved to him that he was about to become the vic tim of the old Spanish prisoner swindle. Accompanied by his son. George, a student in the University Of Michigan, Olsen is homebound in fast train tonight
 The letter which caused Olsen to cross the continent and undertake the trip to Spain, was mailed him from Madrid and signed by Victor Depont, who professed to be an old friend of Olsen. Depont's letter contained the news that the writer was languishing in Spanish dungeon but unknown to the government, possessed a trunk with false bottom which concealed 40e,O00 pesos. In order to get the trunk, Olsen would have to pay S15.0OO to satisfy a claim against Depont, the letter said, and to do this was Olsen 8 mission to Madrid.

FIVE MORE INVOLVED IN
 DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY.
ortie McManigaI Discloses Thelr
 Names to Federal Grand Jury.


 Names to Federal Grand Jury,
 Indianapolis, Jan. 19.-That at least five men other than those already in dicted or convicted in the dynamite conspiracy participated in a plot to blow up an iron works at Akron, O., on July 4, 1910, was a part of the testi- mony which it is believed was pre- sented to the 1ederal grand Jury through witnesses called from Ohio.
 The names of three of the alleged participants were given by Ortie Mo Manigal who says he met them at Cleveland. Two days before the explo- sion according to McManigal, he left Indianapolis with one of the men who had received instructions from J. J. McNamara in the office of the Inter national Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers and went to Rochester, Pa. Theer they got twelve quarts of nitro -glycerine which they packed in a suit case. Fifty eight quarts of the explosive, he said were left at Rochester for future use At Cleveland the next day they met two other men and discussed the Akron "job," which was to be directed against an employer who maintained an "open shop"
 "The man who had accompanied me from Indianapolis wanted me to do the job" said McManigal. He said I was experienced and could be relied upon. But one of the Cleveland men said the job had been promised to a couple of other fellows and they wanted them to have it. They had no fuse, so I went to Chicago and sent them fuse by spe- cial delivery"
 The Indianapolis man, McManigal said, was the one who remained with him until he began to do dynamiting with J. B. McNamara.
