WHAT MR.. WHITMAN DID
An Acmirer Cites His Original Stand
for Fusion.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir May be. permitted to take vigor-
Gus exception to the statements and in
situations OF "Fusionist' in his attack
on MIR. Whitman in to-days Tribune?
Does this man know anything at all
about the actual facts? Does he know
that Mitchell was designated" by the Re-
publican City Committee on the evening
OF August 10? Does he know that Mr..
Whitman, II he had been so weak as TO
yield TO the call OF ambition or party
politics" could have wrecked the fusion
movement completely that night? Does
he know who carried the fight for fusion
through to a successful issue that night
Has he read Mr. Whitman's letter accept
ing the fusion nomination for District At
torney?
II will exert every effort to elect
the entire anti-Tammany ticket" The
purpose OF the fusion committee was TO
bring about concerted action. to secure
the most efficient ana honest government
possible for the City of New York"

A CORRECTED INTERVIEW
Abbot Gasquet Explains His Views
and Opinions.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I have only to-day come across the
account OF the interview which your rep
resentative had with me and which was
printed in your issue OF September 2. In
what he says with regard to the state OF
religion in England there is much which
absolutely msrepresents my views and
expressions.
First. | never said that the Catholic
Church has been unable 10 reach tho mid
die and lower classes neither could |
have condemned so sweepingly the pres
ent state Of religion in England. His
remarks about the Anglican bishops must
certainly be most offensive 10 many Of
my friends In the Established Church,
and In no sense represent ny estimate OF
them
Then many OF his remarks which are
attributed 10 me-such as statements re-
garding new Catholics" and the prophe-
cics concerning Mr. Cnesterton's impend-
ing change OF religion-are absolutely
unlntelligible 10 me and are quite con-
trary TO my belief.
The Newark Star" printed the same
statements and I promptly denied them
I'm their next issue. only to-day have l
discovered that their origin was your
important paper Therefore | write TO
give a categorical denial, begging you to
give it due publicity In the interest OF
truth and religious peace. Even had l
believed what am supposed TO have said
which do not-I certainly would never
have given public expression to such sem
timcnts. as no possible good purpose
could be served thereby.

horrors to be.
What, then, could 1, a fraiI wo-
man, do?
''Why-the idea came naturally to
me- could work for a great ma
tionaI fund for their relief!
81 was sure all people in the nation
would unite in contributing to such
a fund, destined to save strike-chil-
dren from tha terrible conditions for
which they are not to blame.
"For, whether people sympathize
with striker or employer, they cannot
but take pity on the little ones who
are neither employers nor strikers
but only helpless babes!
81 know that the labor unions, all
sincere phiIauthropic workers
Mrs. Raymo: | Robins type, 1 mean,
not the Andrew Carnegie type-and
all socialists will cooperate in rails
ing the fund.
"a strike-children's stamp has been
printed, which will be sold to all those
who are willing to contribute. 1t will
be pasted on letters and packages,
like the red cross stamp, and on the
membership cards of union men and
socialists.
with the money collected and held
in trust by the socialist party, a fine
national relief home will be built for
the children. Then, whenever strike
is declared, all the babies of the dis
trict will be taken at once to this
pleasant home. 1t will be like hap
py vacation to them-a holiday trip
to grandmother's' And, knowing
that their babes are safe from the
pangs of hunger and cold, and the
brutality of hired gunner, which they
themselves must endure, the strikers
will at last be able to face the en-
ployers on a more nearly equal foot

is Mrs. Winnie Branstetter, national
director of the entire -Woman's de-
partment of the socialist party.
A great national relief fund, to be
devoted solely to the care of all the
babes and children, anywhere and
everywhere, who become the inno-
cent victims of Americas continuous
strike-wars, is the wonderful vision,
which, by tireless effort, she has at
last made a reality!
Sociologists declare that such a
fund, if established, portends ulti-
mately tremendous changes in the
long struggle between labor and
capital; it means, they say, that the
strikers will wage against capitalism
a longer, sitter fight with a fairer
chance; and that their children will
not grow up to be criminal, diseased,
or pauper burdens upon society!
The opening of this fund is to be
heralded by monster mass meetings
in all cities on national Children's
day-the first Sunday after Christ
mas. Mrs. Branstetter, from her desk
in the socialist party headquarters in
Chicago, is directing the organization
of these meetings.
Today l asked her how her great
idea-which is entirely novel in the
labor history of the whole world
had come to her.

turn, that today children are act

says he put on the brake and shut
off the power as soon as the car
collided, but that the momentum of
the automobile dragged it's front end

then the car and the buggy were
pushed into the ditch. Both Mr.. Burg
and the young lady who was with
him were thrown violently from the
buggy, but miraculously escaped in

1t required the combined strength
of both men and passengers to push
the automobile onto the road again.
The machine did not suffer seriously,
as only one lamp was broken and
the fender bent in the accident. The
horse ran short distance and was

Eagle Lake and Mr. Burg was COM

occurred about eight o'clock. The
lights on the auto were lighted, but
there were no lights on the buggy.

Mr.. Burg holds that he was as far

that the auto came straight at him.
Mr.. Hottie says he was driving about
ten miles an hour.

Clash Over Refunds
Point For the Court
Continued from Page One.

all along the line and these mini
mum merchandise tariffs referred tc
were all boosted above the maximum
fixed by the commission in 1906.
Now the railroads are claiming
that they are not required to refund
the difference between the rates af
for the Sanborn decree and the rates
they had in effect previously, but
between the former and the maxi
mum merchandise schedules fixed by
the state. A large sum of money is
involved, approximately $1,000,000 il
has been estimated.
Conference of Attorneys.
The situation has been made plain
by state official, as follows: Sup
pose the maximum state rate as es
tablished in 1906 was 81. The rail
road, however, only charged SO
cents. After the Sanborn decree
this was raised to $120. Now the
roads want to pay back 20 cents in
stead of 40 cents.
The railroad commissioners, Attor
ney General Smith and Charles Don
nelly, counsel for the Northern Pa
cific, were in conference all day
Monday on this point. There will
be another conference later in the
week at which attorneys for other
railroads will be invited to appear
Recently the Minnesota supreme
court, in the now famous case OF
Sullivan VS.. Minnesota and Raney
River railroad, found that "the com
mon law imposes upon common car
riers the duty of equality of freight
rates to all shippers similarly cir
cumstanced, for the Transportation
of the same class of commodities the
same distance"
What Shipper Can Do.
1t was also held in this case thai
when the state established a maxi
mum charge and the railroads pro
vided lower rate to any particular
shipper, that the person paying the
full rate could recover the differ
ence between the state rate and the
reduced tariff his competitor was
enjoying. 1t is upon this most inn
portant opinion that the state is
basing it's contention in the present
controversy.
The railroads, however, say thai
