WILSON MAKES
DEEP IMPRESSION.

Whatever may have been the precon-
ceivcd misgivings of those who were
fearful of the action of President Will
son in appearing before Congress yes
terday and delivering his message in
person, in this way, reviving custom
that has lain dormant for over hun
drcd years, they were dispelled by the
deep impression not only made upon
those who witnessed The revival Of
the practices of Washington and Adj
ANS but upon the country at large.
The attention of the world was TO-
cu:ed on the capitol yesterday and in
consequence the significant words of
the President calling the attention Of
Congress to the need of tariff revision
have been more widely disseminated
that those Of any other message.
The message was brief, only requir
ing eight minutes for its delivery, and
its brevity also appealed to the ma
ton. A we'll known gentleman Of
Alexandria stated today that it was
the first presidential message he had
ever read and it was probably the
first message that many people read
in its entiety.
Whatever differences of opinion
there may be as 10 the manner of its
presentation to Congress there can be
no criticism of the message as an eff
fectiye appeal for the people against
the special privileges and artificial adj
vantages which have grown up under
our present tariff system.
The following quotation expresses
much of the sentiment that pervades
the entire document.
"For long time-a time so
long that the men now active in
public policy hardly remember
The conditions that preceded it
we have sought in our tariff
schedules to give each group Of
manufacturers or producers
what they themselves thought
they needed in order to main
tain practically exclusive
market as against the rest of
the world. Consciously or I'M
consciously, we have built up
set of privileges and eSemp-
ions from competition behind
which it was easy, by any, even
the crudcst, form OF combina-
ton 10 organize monopoly; until
at last nothing is normal, Moth
ing is obliged to stand the Tets
OF efficiency and economy, in our
world of big business, but ev-
erything ihrives by concerted
arrangement. Only new prin-
ciples of action will save us from
final hard crystalZation Of
monopoly and q complete loss OF
the influence that quicken e!,-
tcrprisc and keep independent
energy alive"
Democrats Of every shade Of views
on the tariff Will be able TO adop
the message as their own and can
work in harmony with It. It WI

BULLETS FLEW ON BROADWAY
GANGS ToUGHs SETTLE DIFFERENCES
REVOLVERs
Peaceful
Principal SON Mirues of Terror

New York, Sept. 1S.-Gunmen,
said by the police to be members of
rival gangs, whose activity in the
primary election yesterday led TO the
renewal of an old feud, engaged in a
revolver duel while seated in two au-
tomobiles standing on upper Broad
way just as a'nearby matinee crowd
swarmed into the street.
The attacking party of seven, af-
ter firing on three men in the other
at in return, attempted to speed
away, but were overtaken by a traf-
fic patrolman in a taXicab. Three
men jumped from the car and escap-
ed. Four, including the chauffeur,
were arrested and locked up, charg-
ed with attempted felonious assault
and violating the concealed weapons
law. So far as could be learned
none of the gunner were injured.
According to the police, the shoot
ing was an outcome Of the primary
fight in the / 9Th assembly district be-
tween rivals of the democratic lead
ership. They say the four men un-
der arrest are members OF the Jack
Sirrocco gang and that they opened
fire on members of the Hudson Dus-
ters'' and the Rose gang"
A search of the captured car re-
vealeI under a rug in the tOnneau
six packages Of typewriter slips,
containing more than 800 names,
supposedly of voters in the eighth as
semly district down town, and the
police are working on the theory that
the men arrested are repeaters who,
after voting in the lower part of the
city. went up to the 18th assembly
district to work the primary there
in the same way.
1t became known last night that
he shooting which resulted in the
arrest of the four men early in the
evening was the second Of the day.
IN mid-afternoon the same two au-
tomobiles met on w. Goth street AMI
their occupants started to "shoot up
each other. Three men are said to
have been injured, escaping before
the arrival of the reserves.

GREAT BATTLE Of
FIFTY YEARS AGO
reproduced by United States Regu-
lars and State Troops Along the
Line of Missionary Ridge

Chattanooga, Sept. 18.-Through
misty rain several thousand Union
veterans and Sons of Veterans
marched yesterday in the forty
seventh annral parade of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The unfavor-
Ble weather conditions did not
mpen the ardor either of those
participating in the parade or of
thousands of spectators.
Enthusiasm of the crowds fire.
iquently interrupted the progress of
the parade. 1t was with difficulty
that hundreds who rushed into the
ranks of the marchers to shake hands
with the veterans were forced back.
An unofficial order made out by
some unknown person to Col. L. l..
IT. Dickinson, adjutant of the y. B.
Forrest Camp of Confederate Vet
erans, prevented that camp from par
in the parade. Great dis
was displayed by Union
and Confederate Veterans and an in
order purported to come from Com
mander-in-Chief Beers Of the G. A.
r., but General Beers denied any
knowledge of it.
A number of Confederates in gray
uniforms were taken prisoners" by
Union Veterans during the progress
ri the parade and amid shouts of
Aaughter forced to participate in it.,
eing heartily cheerei by specta-
brs.
The parade was led by Command
Ein-Chief Beers and staff in car
kiages.
When the van reached the review
lg stand on Broad street the COM

-gether with the army officers and
civic officers, ascended the stand,
where they witnessed the pageant.

Independence Day Passed OFF Quietly,

Feeling Was Evident

Washington, Sept. 17.-Unite1
States battleships probably will re-
main in Mexican waters despite Pro-
Eisional President Huerta's declara-
-tion that they will be unwelcome aft
er another month.
There has been no official express
sion of this governments attitude
but it was plainly indicated that the
United States will keep its vessels off
the Mexican Pacific and Atlantic
coasts as long as the present insecur-
ity of Americans warrants.
1t was said at the state department
that so far, there appeared to be
nothing in Huerta's message to cause
the United States to change its atti-
tude.

Mexico City, Sept. 1S.-The cele-

refusal of the American government
to recognize Huerta and of the pres

Tariff Bill FayOn The Farmer,

Some of these senators have
been claiming that the Under
wood tariff bill discriminates
against the farmer. This is un-
true, for the bill places every
thing on the free list that the
farmer has to buy, namelv, plows,
harrows, harvesters, and in fact
all farming implements as we'll
as wire fencing and wire nails,
and Furthermore, it places every
article of food and clothing that
he uses on the free list and it is
only right that the things that
he produces should also be on the
free list, because the free listing
does not ipjure HIM and it mere
iypreVents or helps to prevent
the formation of trusts. For in
stance, the beef trust has been
able to maintain its monopoly
because our tariff shuts out for.
elgn beef and the wheat supply
of the country has also been
cornered by & > or two opera.
tions, which sent the price of
flour up without comforting any
benefit on the farmers who rails
ed the wheat. Tariff on farm
products is sham. They never
helped the farmer because we
are exporters of foodstuff, and
not importers.
