1.-THE Slaughter OF the I~nnocents."
In a thought-compelling article in
"The Life Boat" DR.. David Paulson,
president of the anti-Saloon League of
America, relates an incident which
burned into his soul the tremendous
Importance of the anti-cigaret reform.
He tells how. as a student at the Belle.
vue Hospital Medical College, he per.
formed an experiment on a large
healthy cat which had become a nuis-
ance in the neighborhood. He soaked
enough tobacco in water to make an
ordinary cigaret and injected it under
the cats skin with a hypodermic sy-
ringe full Of this tobacco juice. In
less than twenty minutes the animal
died in violent commissions. 81 take
no pride in relating this experiment."
says DR.. Paulson, "but what distresses
me now is the fact that thousands Of
young boys are repeating the same
experiment on themselves with as GER
tain tho less immediate results. and
only a few people seem to be particu.
uarly concerned about the awful
slaughter Of the innocents" that is
taking place right before their eyes,

"The general terms OF the pres
ent Federal antitrust law, forbid
ding combinations in restraint Of
trade, have apparently proved in
effectual. Trusts have grown up
under its ban very luxuriantly, and
have pursued the methods by
which so many Of them have es-
tablished virtual monopolies with
out serious let or hindrance. 1t
has roared against them like any
sucking dove. / am not assessing
the responsibility. am merely
stating the fact. But the means
and methods by which trusts have
established monopolies have now
become known.
1T will be necessary to supple
ment the present law with such
laws, both civil and criminal, as
will effectually punish and prevent
those methods, adding such other
laws as may be necessary to pro-
vide suitable and adequate judicial
processes, whether civil or crimi-
nal, to disclose them and follow
them to final verdict and judg-
ment. They must be specifically
and directly met by law as they
develop."-Wilson Speech of Ac.

"The antitrust law, II inter-

Taft Proud to Be Linked

President Taft today, unable to
attend the ceremony of notifying
Vice President Sherman of his re-
nomination by the Republican con-
vention, sent the following telegram
to be read at the exercises in Utica:
"Hon. James Schoolcraft Sherman,
"Vice President,

receive formal notification of your
second well-deserved nomination by

gratulate you and the party on
your nomination.
1.-THE Republican party continues
to be the party of the Constitu-
ton, the defender of our guarantees
of civil liberty, private property,
and pursuit of happiness, and other
civil rights, the upholder of law and
order, the opponent of socialism,
the sturdy supporter of high COM
pensation for wage earners, and
our industrial success through a
protective tariff.
II am proud again to be a Joint
standard bearer with you for that
party of conservatism, sanity, and

WILSON LIKES PLAN
FOR BIG CAMPAIGN
OFFICE IN CHICAGO
Headquarters There to Have
Equal Rank With One
in New York.

SEAGIRT. n. j., Aug Ex-Governor
woodrow Wilson announced that his
campaign headquarters, which were
opened in Chicago today. would have
equal authority with the Eastern quar-
ters in New York, the national commit
tee being divided between the two
points.
The following members of the COM
mittee will be in Chicago:
Joseph z. Davies, who is to be in
charge; Senator Gore, Col. Robert Lee
Wing. Congressman Albert S. Burleson.
Senator James A. Reed. Judge w. r.
King, and Charles r. Crane. This
means the transfer to Chicago of the
Speakers bureau. OF which Congress-
man Burleson is the head and the bu-
reau on organization, which is in charge
of Senator Gore.
These bureaus will have branches in
New York.
The new arrangement will leave in
New York William G. McAdoo, vice
chairman OF the campaign committee,
who will continue in charge until Will
liam F. McCoombs, the chairman, re-
covers his health, and Messrs Daniels.
O'Gorman, McGillicuddy, Hudspeth. and
SdulSDuTy
1t is declared that this is the first
national campaign in which headquar-
ters having equal authority have been
located in the East and West. The plan
was suggested to Governor Wilson by
Joseph f. Davies, and promptly agreed
to by the candidate.
Preparatory to visiting the baby pa.
rade" at Asbury Park today, Governor
Wilson temporarily laid aside the bust
ness of running for Pesident. The annua
baby parade Is a great institution on the
Jersey coast. With good weather tn,
attendance was expected to be upwarC
of 5000. Five hundred babies were ex

ORDERS
CONTEST AGAINST
SON-|N-LAW IN OHIO
DR.. Zwick Will Run Against
Nick Longworth for
Congress.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. H.-Con-
gressman Nick Longworth is to have
opposition in the First Congressional
district. DR.. A. o. Zwick has an
nounced his candidacy on the third
party ticket, and his petitions will be
circulated in a day or so.
The orders for some one to run
against Longworth came direct from
Roosevelt This information was sent
to Walter Brown. the Roosevelt leader
in Ohio. The leaders in Hamilton
county were consulted, and the result
was the announcement of the candi-
dacy of DR.. Zwick.
Roosevelt opposition to Longworth. his
son-in-law, will come as huge sur
prise to the Taft leaders in Hamilton
county. Longworth has been pro-
nounced Taft man, and his loyalty since
the nomination of Roosevelt has
not been questioned.
Is Loyal To Taft.
Although Chairman Harry Daugherty,
of the regular committee, has applied
| the acid test to all Republican candi-
dates for Congress, he did not asq
Longworth to step forward and face the
music.
In fact. Mr. Daugherty did not even
call on Longworth when he visited
Washington a few days ago, thereby re-
lieving Nick of the embarrassing posi-
ton of talking politics, or being com
PEELED to declare himself for TAFT
| against his father-in-law.
Roosevelt's action in declaring for a
| candidate against his son-in-law lie
looked upon by the Taft leaders as
break between Longworth ard Roose-
| welt.
Family Jar Suspected.
It is said that Longworth. having de-
clared for Taft, has refused to recede
from that position, although 1t is said
he has been requested to do so by
Roosevelt. His refusal to drop Taft
and come out for his father-in-law no
| doubt caused the break, and the result
| was Roosevelt's order to run candt-
| date against him.
DR.. Zwick is an ardent follower of
Roosevelt. He ran for delegate to the
Chicago convention. and. although de-
feated, received more than 400 votes
He is very eminent physician.

the American electorate who will rem
der judgment in November"
In accepting the nomination Mr.. Sher-
man said:
Fortunate are we Republicans that
our opponents are divided into two
camps, rivaling each other in their ef-
forts to excel in disturbing the civic and
economic disorder in the country. The
new party thrusts itself into the vacuum
lent by the phantoms of other third
parties which have passed into obli-
won. Oblivion, too. awaits 1t. The Demo-
Garlic party In the nation has many
times defeated the Republican party in
August. but only twice has 1t done so
in November.
THE Democratic candidate, Mr.. Will
son. Is Bryan and Parker over again,
without the oratory of the ole or the
legal training of the other, but with the
free trade prejudices of both seemingly
intensified. 1t is not unkind to discern
that DR.. Wilson is a pedagogue, not a
statesman"
Sherman then quoted at length from
Wilson's history of the United States to
show the governors alleged attitude
on the immigration question and his
preferable to some European immi-
grants.
Scores Roosevelt Men.
Turning to the Progressive movement,
Sherman said:
The country witnessed a convention
held in Chicago two weeks ago, since in
which there was no roll call of dele
gates, no ballots cast; In which red
bandannas were preferred to the Stars
and Stripes; where the scene was scarlet
overmuch, like the flag of anarchy.
THE unquestIoned master of the situ-
alton was greeted by his satellites as an
inspired leader and the irreVerence
which fell from many lips reached its
climax In the closing utterances of the
chairman. The leaders right to rule
was recognized and proclaimed.
"They abuse the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law without stint and without reason,
The tariff act has closed no factory

thrown no mechanic or laborer out OF

PRESIDENT TAFT.

II am not in sympathy with the
purpose to make the antitrust
law more drastic by such a pro-
vision as is proposed by the Demo-
cratic majority Of the investigat-
ing committee Of the House. for
imposing a rule as to burden Of
proof upon defendants under. anti
trust prosecutions different from
that which defendants In other
prosecutions enjoy.
"This cannot be suggested by
any difficulty found in proving to
the courts the illegality of such
combinations when the Illegally
exists.

WAGGAMAN ESTATE
WILL PAY DIVIDEND
ON SEPTEMBER 3
First 5 Per Cent of Claims
Will Be Settled. by
Trustee.

Notices have been sent out by H.
Rozier Dulany to the creditors of the
estate of the late Thomas Z, Wagga-
man that warrant for the first divi-
dend of per cent due to them will be
paid at his office, 1893 F street north
west, September g.
This Is the initial dividend to be paid
by the bankrupt estate, which has been
in litigation in the District courts for
more than four years. 1t was stated
by the trustee of the estate, II. r.
Dulany, that probably 25 or 80 per cent
of all the claims, aggregating 81, ,992 I73,
would be paid to the creditors. The
most important of these, the Catholic
University, accepted S35O,0OO cash in
lieu of Its claim of $S76, 1853.
This Waggaman case is one of the
most complex bankruptcy cases ever
known to. the local courts. The settle
ment or the estate was held up for a
long time by the objections OF the
heirs to closing up on a % per cent
basis, They based their contention on
the ground that they have claim
amounting to about 100000 and they
declare they do not believe the assets
OF the Wagsaman estate justify a set
tlement on 26 per cent basis, They
also contcnded that the Catholic Uni
versity should not receive anything
from the estate except what other cred
itors were entitled to get.
The aggregate claim of the univer-
slty which is the principal claim of the
$50 creditors of the estate, has been
estimated at about $4,000. consisting
largely of promissory notes, deeds OF
trust on the Woodley tract, owned by
Mr.. Waggaman, and Mr.. Waggaman'
art collection. The District Supreme
Court in 1909 decided that the university
could not longer hold the Woodley tract
as such possession preferred that In
stitution over other creditors.
BY the terms of the compromise
agreed upon, the university relinquishet
its notes, dismissed it's appeal in the
Woodley matter, and surrendered tht
art collections, receiving as settlement
approximately $4,000. The university
was to retain also a sum amounting
TO about S94, ,0o0, previously collected by
them upon their claim.
The payment OF the first 5 per cen
dividend TO creditors is looked upon al
q, forerunner to a rapid settlement o.
the estate.

RAILROADS
TO OPPOSE DRAW
SPANS ON BRIDGES
Counsel Will Be Present at
Hearing on Question on
September 10.

Railroad companies today sent notice
to the office of Colonel Langfitt that
they will be represented by counsel at
the hearing September 10 on the ques-
ton of requiring draw spans in the
bridges over the Anacostia river.
Colonel Langfitt is the United States en-
gineer in charge of bridges in the Dis
trict and the extensive reclamation and
improvement Projects about Anacostia.
Acceptance of the invitation is taken
to mean that the railroads concerned.
the Pennsylvania and the Washington
Railway and Electric Company will op-
pose the contemplated requirement of
draw spans in the existing bridges.
Initial cost of installation of these
draw spans. 1t is believed, would not
be great enough to cause the railroads
any concern, but the cost of operat-
ing them and the delays in traffic
which will ensue are highly objection
able from the roads standpoint. The
Pennsylvania in particular would be
harassed by the requirement for the
long trestle which 1t now used over
the Anacostia river, secs an immense
amount Of freight hauled over 1t each
day
It is proposed to make the Anacostia
naVigable as far as the Magruder
bridge, just each of the District line.
