United States Will Insist That Reporter Assailant of Charge d'Affaires Hugh Gibson Shall Be Severely Punished
NEWSPAPERS MUST
 CHANGE COURSE
It Is Suspected That Attack Was Part of Plot to Elm broil Government in Trou- ble With the Unit e d States
PRESS p1sPATcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-That En- rique MaZa, the reporter who attacked Hugh Gibson, the American charge d'affaires in Havana last Monday night. was merely a tool in the hands of Cuban plOtters who are antagonis- tic to the United States. and who would like to get the Cuban govern ment into trouble with this country, was the opinion expressed here to- day by Antonio Martin Rivero, the Cuban minister, who has notified his government of the demands of the United States that the assailant be punished.
 The state department late today was informed by the legation at Havana of attacks that have been made by a portion of the Cuban press upon Hugh Gibson, in charge of the American legation. and American contractors, the pressing of whose claim for com pensation caused the personal assault upon MT. Gibson and upon the United States government and the people.
 Some of the state department of ficials, who by reason of the service with the American government during intervention in Cuba, are thoroughly acquainted with the Cuban side are satisfied that the writers of these de- famatory articles have laid them selves open to punishment for crim- inal libel
 Some of the Havana articles are regarded as having been written with the deliberate purpose of trying to force a duel upon the American charge The state department will never permit it's representatives to be drawn into personal quarrels. It will look to the Cuban government to deal summarily and severely with any in dividual or newspaper guilty of violat- ing the laws of diplomatic privilege common to civilied countries
 For the same reason the department will look with disfavor upon attempts on the part of some Cubans to bring about a recall of Gibson, taking the ground that such demand could be based only upon his personal mis- conduct

 TRUST REGULATION
The Colonel Tells Vermonters What
 Would be Done by Him.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt, Aug. 23- Roosevelt spoke here in part as fol- lows: "The progressive platform de nands efficient and thorough going national regulation of all those great industrial concerns doing an interstate business. Moreover, the anti trust law is to be kept on the statute books and instead of it's enforcement against the big trusts being as now merely farci- cal, 1t is the duty of the commission to aid in seeking that every trust gull ty of bad conduct shall be really anu not merely nominally dissolvel, and the men guilty of misconduct shall be pun ished
 The antitrust law by itself can never solve the problem dealing with trusts. As at present enforced, still more as it would be enforced. if the recommen- dations of the Stanley committee were enacted into a law, it is, and would re- main a policy nominally against the interests of the huge, swollen trust but really in their favor and menace only to honest business men with business of a moderate size"
 Colonel Roosevelt struck up an inti- mate acquaintance with the rural re- gions of southern Vermont today dur ing his automobile campaign through the state He passed most of the day in a motor car made five speeches and received such a welcome that he said he thought Vermont was waking up.

EXTENSION OF
 MAIL DELIVERY
Problem Which the Post master Is Wrestlin g With; Special Investiga- tion of Inspector Dutton and Its Developments

Postoffice Inspector c. F. Dutton is making a careful inspection of the delivery system of the Phoenix post office. having been specially detailed to that work by the department, re- sponsive to the request of Postmaster McCIintock for additional carriers. The postmaster has been desirOus of giving Phoenix the best carrier ser vice possible and personally prefers that method of mail delivery seeking to extend it as fast as the circum stances warrant. But it appears from Mir. Dutton's investigation that the outlying sections of the city are hardly in a condition to receive free delivery. this statement being with out regard to the numerousness of the population.
 The latest instructions of the de- partment are that city delivery ser vice shall not be extended to sections which are not generally provided with good sidewalks, street lights, street signs and house numbers, though the department makes a special point of sidewalks.
 There are portions of the city clamoring for mail delivery and the postmaster has hope of securing extra carriers for this work but he is met with the conditions above noted that may prove embarrassing to the en- terprise Some hOusehOlders declare that they would willingly build side walks but their neighbOrS will not and when it is suggested to them that 51 per cent of the property own a,c in apI- district may force side walk building they declare either that they cannot secure the majority per centage or dislike undertaking the task. The result will be watched with interest but in the meantime the more industrious the people become in sidewalk construction, the earlier they are likely to be supplied with delivery service.

 ELGIN, H., Aug. 23.-Charles Merz and Gill Anderson, both members of the Stutz automobile racing team, both driving StUtz cars, furnished the high lights in the opening days program of the annual Elgin automobile race meet this morning. Merz won the 203 mile Illinois trophy in a race over an SA mile road course in the record time of hours, 4 minutes and 32 seconds, after a spectacular driving duel with Anderson The two drivers were only two minutes apart at the finish. Ere quently they swayed down the hills and through stretches at a seventy mile an hour clip with less than a dozen feet separating them Merz drove the entire distance at an aver age sped of cell miles an hour.
 Don Herr, who won the Illinois tro- phy with National car last year drove the same distance at an average of 65.63 miles per hour. W. H. Hobbs driving a Rainfield car and Neil Wha- ton, with a National the only other starters for the Illinois trophy race, were eliminated early in the contest by engine trouble.

His average speed per hour was 65.05. His team mate, Edward Pullen, finished second with another Mercer

Controversy Between the Taft and Roosevelt Man agers to Be Promptly Settled When U. $. Su- preme Court Meets
TAFT FOLLOWERS
 NO OTHER CHANGE
Petitioners Rely Upon the Fourteenth Amendment, Claiming the Right of Other Citizens to Vote for Their Candidates
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-The fight between the Taft and Roosevelt forces over the presidential electors from Kansas was transferred officially to- diary from the courts was flied in the supreme court here It will be rushed to the printer so that the court may dispose of the case immediately upon cOnVening on October 14.
 The decision of the Kansas courts was adverse to the Taft followers and the main hope of the Taft managers to procure the electoral vote of Kansas lies in a fight to get the supreme court of the United States to reverse the state courts.
 As shown by the completed record just filed, the Taft forces claim they have been fraudulently deprived of rights guaranteed them in the four teenth amendment to the federal con- stitution It is charged that the Roose- welt electors procured the signatures of Taft men to their petition as candi- dates for electors by pretending that they were republicans and as such would support the party's candidates for president and vice president. As matter of fact, it is added, these can didates did not intend to support the party's candidates for president and president unless Roosevelt was nominated. The result of this alleged fraud. it claimed, will be to deprive the Taft men their right to vote for the person selected by them for president while permitting otheer citiens to vote for persons selected by them.

Now Is the Time When the Country
 Is Going to Be Saved
PRESS D1sPArcH]

CHEYENNE. Aug. Ex-Governor Johnson of California, the vice -presi- dential nominee of the progressive party. arrived here tonight, and ad- dressed a capacity audience. He was often interrupted by applause and cheers. At times the audience was like a sea of red bandanas
 Johnson said in part: At last the American people can turn from fight ing a sham battle upon political issues to a real struggle with real cOnse- quences. In this year, 1912, it is given to us to be part in a great contest where economic justice is the goal. With what relief we may turn from the platitudinOus plea of the platform adopted at Chicago in June, and the impossible opportunism of that of Baltimore to a declaration of princi- ples of living, breathing vitality and of real human interest"
