TAFT ASSAILS
.,,1s'r.: COL. ROOSEVELT

CALDWELL, o. Special-Presi-
dent Taft branded Theodore Roose-
welt as an unsafe man" in his
speeches.
The President began his assault on
his predecessor at Marietta and kept
il up along his route. Speaking in
the train shed at Marietta he said:
IF / believed that mere audacity
of statement would carry this cleo
ton, I would despair the future of
this republic"
Mr.. Taft drew the first part of his
talk from the record of the Admins
tration and was cheered when he de-
clared the party in the past four
years has turned a deficit of $4,000
600 into a surplus of $4,000. 900.
He scored Colonel Roosevelt for
misquoting him and said: He should
be visited with the punishment OF de-
/ feat. 1t Is unsafe to put a man like
him into the White House for a third
/ zine. When the people approve an
administration il has been the custom
/ of the Republican party to renominate
/ the President again, but only once
/ again"
The same sort of a drilling cold
| rain, which marked Taft's Tirst two
/ days in Ohio last week. was falling
when he began his tour today. Soon
after the special reached this town
/ local politicians and committeeman be-
gan TO call at the Presidents ear.

G. Reid, the ''tin plate king" and
director OF the United States

alleged steel trust.
MIR. Reid was called to tell the
story OF the organization of the
American Tin Plate Company and
It's subsequent absorption by the
steel corporation.
Within a minute after Reid had
taken the stand he had fatty re-
fused TO tell fOrmer Secretary of

Mr.. Reid gave his age as fifty-three,

his business is, replied:

board"
He said he was president Of the
American Tin Plate Company of
Elwood, Ind, prior to the organiza-
ton of the American Tin Plate Com
pany of New Jersey. in 1898, when he
became president OF that organization,

SIPS per share placed on the steel
stock.
Mr.. Reid made the statement that
when the tin plate corporation was alb
sorbed the Steel Corporation offered
cash to all Of the subsidiary plate
companies for their stock.
Did you take cash?" asked Dickin-
son.
No" replied Reid. ''but I could
have had it If I had wanted it,
Didn't you state about that time
that United States Steel stock was
your company paid for their proper
ties?"
Il don't remember. That was thir-
teen years ago.
Judge Dickinson became angered by
Reds inability to remember some OF
the things that the Government par
ticularly wanted to know and there
was sharp clash between him and
Cardenio Severance. of counsel for the
Steel Corporation.
Dickinson had asked Reid regard.

ADVERSE DECISION
In SUPREME COURT
BRANDT CASE DECIDED ON NTER.
ITS OF LAW RELATIVE TO
HABEAS CORPUS.

NEW YORK Special The ad-
verse decision of the Supreme Court
of New York relative to the Brandt
case, in which the former valet of
Mortimer L. Schiff received q thirty
year sentence in the penitentiary for
stealing two stick pins from his en-
ployer, does not in any way affect the
merits of the claims made by Brandt's
attorneys that he was "railroaded to
prison"
The decision is purely technical,
and is rendered on the legal question
of habeas corpus. which the court de-
cided does not lie in the peculiar cir
cumStances of the case in question
Holding the writ of habeas corpus
within its strict legal purpose. the
court decides that nothing can be done
when it is invoked TO inquire into the
legality of the detention of the pris-
oner in whose interest it is sued out.
Ihere can be no review under il of
the circumstances attending the de-
PENDANTS incarceration"

Want SENATORS
s ELECTED BY PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, D. c. Special
| With Southern Democrats lining up
against a conference committee, Rep
resentative Rucker, Of Missouri,
called up in the House the conference
report on the bill providing direct
election of United States Senators by
vote of the people.
The House conferees, as explained
by Rucker. have finally yielded to the
Senate on the Bristow amendment,
eminent the supervision OF the time,
| manner and place of holding senate
rial elections.
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
was recognized In opposition TO the
conference report and he was greeted
with applause when he said: II am
| glad to have the honor OF opposing
this conference report"
The applause came from Southern
Democrats, who have announced Wig
orous opposition to the Bristow
amendment.
Representative Bartlett denounced
his colleagues for having done some
thing that no Republican Congress
ever dared to do 10 a Southern Dem
| ocrat."
His contention was that under the
| BriStoW amendment the laws of the
| South, by which negroes are restricted
| from voting, would be oVerthrown. He
| declared the action of Speaker Clark
| ana Representative Rucker, Of Mis-
| souri,, was in violation of the attitude
| OF Democrats when this proposal
came up at the last session.
Bartlett charged that the whole
| plan by which State laws would be
| oVerridden was the result Of William
Jennings Bryan's interference. Bryan
he declared, came TO Washington and
| advised Speaker Clark, Rucker and
Chairman Henry, of the Rules Com
| m1ttee, that ii would be q good piece
OF public policy for this measure to
pass.
Representative Henry, the next
speaker, made a hot reply to the
charges of Bartlett and precipitated
a wrangle between himself and Bart
lett.
If the Georgian will compose him
SELF said Henry. and follow Bryan
more frequently he will find himself
more often in the right"
L have been following Bryan for
sixteen years." retorted Bartlett, and
l am getting tired
Let us discuss this plan as law
yers,' continued Henry, not needing
Bartlett's interruption, and let us in
dulge in no such sophistry as was
used by the gentleman from Georgia
in his alleged argument. One would
suppose from the remarks of the gem
tleman from Georgia that he had
never read section 4 of the Constitu-
ton of the United States which spe-
officially preserves State election
rights
Henry then besought members Of
the House to fOrego sectionalism in
the discussion of such questions.
