FORD'S OPTIMISM
CHEERS PRESIDENT
Automobile Maker Says His
Trade Has Increased so Per
Cent This Year.
from III, Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 9. Peace parley-
ing between representatives Of big
business" and the Wilson admin
istration, which began with the recent
visit Of J. ?. Morgan, continued to-
day, with series Of conferences at
which the President and other officials
listened TO suggestions from captains
of finance and industry regarding the
antitrust legislation and comments
on business conditions generally.
Political observers see in the series
Of conferences an effort by President
Wilson TO square himself with "big
business and remove the impress on
that his administration has been hos
tile toward the larger commercial in
terests Of the United States.
One of the most important confer
enoes of the day took place between
the delegation representing the Chi
cago Chamber of Commerce, which
Was at the White House yesterday,
and Representative Covngton. who
drafted the trade commission bill, the
latter virtually appearing as the envoy
OF the President. The delegation had
several suggestions TO make regard
ing the antitrust legislation, one that
the Coyington bill and the Clayton
anti-monopoly measure should be com
bined and that the scope of the COM
missions functions should be enlarged
to permit that body to pass, in partic-
ular instances, on what constituted
fair or unfair competition.
Representative Covington told the
delegation that President Wilson had
said 10 him he wished TO meet "big
business" half way in consideration of
the trust programme, and wanted to
be fair in every way. Mr.. Covington
promised to take their suggestions I'M
der consideration and lay his opin-
ions before the President, and later
before the House Commerce Commit
tee.
While this conference was in
progress the President was discussing
business conditions with Henry Ford,
the Detroit automobile manufacturer.
Mr.. Ford was with the President for
more than an hour. When he left
the White House he said that he
agreed with the President that any
business depression now existing was
psychological"
There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business. If everybody would
cheer up we would soon have the era
of prosperity predicted by the Presi-
dent said Mr.. Ford. 81 find that
business conditions are improving rap
idly. Our business has increased SO
per cent this year"
Representatives of the Illinois
Bankers Association also talked with
President Wilson to-day. They urged
a meeting Of the 10S directors of the
regional banks in Chicago on Septem-
Der ] and asked the President to at
tend aud deliver an address, saying
that similar invitations had been ex-
tended to the Secretary OF the Treas
ury and the Controller of the Cur
re1cy.

Mrs. Dolan's lawyer WAS cabling. with
the result that a lawyer representing

Treasury Department had been thrown

France interviewed to advise against
setting p precedent that would enable

case is yet 20 be decided.

sider," He Says.

Washington, July 9.-President vii

his optimism on the views of Attorney
General McReynolds, bat ne did not

piled when his attention was called
TO the fact that the Attorney General
had received a copy OF the resolution
passed by the New Haven directors

the Massachusetts Legislature auth
orizing the sale of the Boston & Maine
stock.

asserted that Dir. McReynolds would
stand pat on the announcement he
made last night that in his opinion
the Massachusetts act was entirely
fair. and that he expected the New

ASKS FORECLOSURE
ON FRISCO SYSTEM
Guaranty Trust Company Petit
tons for Action on Mort
gage for S6S,660.000.

ST. Louis. July o Foreclosure of a
mortgage Of s6s,666,000 on the ST..
Louis & San Francisco Railroad was
asked in the United States District
Court here to-day by the Guaranty
Trust Company Of New York. The
Frisco is in the hands of receivers.
The petition asks that the mortgage
be declared a valid lien against the
property it covers. which includes a
large part of the Frisco system.
The mortgage was given to secure a
series of refunding 4 per cent bonds
issued in 1901. The petition says that
the accrued interest on the bonds is
S1,S73,O00.
Loomis Johnson. one of the attorneys
for the Frisco receivers. said the filing
Of the foreclosure petition was prin-
cipally a protective step in behalf of
the holders Of the underlying bonds, on
which an interest default occurred on
July i. The action, he said, brought
these bondholders actively in whatever
steps may be taken for the reorganiza-
tion of the road. but it was no indlca-
ton that reorganization was near.

FITZPATRICK URGES LABOR TOT
s. SUPPORT CRUIcE

SOFEOR -CRUlCE
The following open letter, address,
ed to the wOrkingmen of Chicago,
urging their support for Daniel L.
Cruice, has been sent out by John
T. Fitzpatrick, president of the Chi
CagO Federation of Labor:
LEST We Forget"
Fellow Workers.: Next Wednes-
days primaries will be of critical i'm
pOrtance to organized labor. The
election that day centers around the
nomination of county Judge. The
county judge Yields enormous pow
ers, chief of which is that of ruling
the election commissioners, the cleo
ton machinery and controlling the
election. Which means that upon the
honesty, intelligence and integrity of
the county judge does it depend
whether the citizen shall be allowed
to vote at all, or if when he votes
his ballot shall be counted and count
ed as cast.
County Judge John E. Owens who
is seeking reelection has f1agrantly
and consistently violated his oath of
Office to protect our ballot and the
ballot box. Two years ago on the
18th of April our state was .disgraced
and scandalized by this man Owens
in violent illegal manner, after is
suing an illegal injunction, with fore
IDLY seeking to break up or control a
regularly constituted Democratic
convention being held at the 7th Ar
mory. On the case being referred to
the Supreme Court of the state, that
body by unanimous vote condemn
ed this mans actions in the most
scathing judicial decision ever rem
dered by the Supreme Court, declar-
ing that Owens had no authority to
organize the convention or determine
who should organize it, and the max
ing of the order and the attempt to
enforce it, were an inexcusable dis
TaUord of tho 1ouC of tho ctof11focy -
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-09-08

and delnquencies in Office disgraced
the whole pathway of his official ca
reer. The voting machine scandal,
not yet probed to the bottom, fOist-
ing on the people a useless expense
of 81, 100000 for the purchase of not
only useless but dangerous voting
machines, lies at the door Of Judge
Owens. By resisting and refusing to
grant the public demand for re-
count of votes cast in the last cleo
ton for states attorney, which pass
ed over his veto, revealing that some
1000 cast for William Guinea had
been counted for Maclay HOyne, is
conspicuous proof of the mans dis
honesty in claiming to have protected
honest elections.
His latest overriding of the plain
statutes as regards the placing of
names on the ballots in the order in
which they had been filed and sub
shutting his own idea of rotation,
so far from recommending him as a
candidate for the denomination, it
should and we hope it will recon-
mend him as a candidate for the
penitentiary. Nothing more nor less
is involved in the present county
primaries than the constitutional
rights of American citizenship.
Should organized labor under these
circumstances remain divided and
disorganized at the polls it will incur
the heaviest responsibility, because
a united workingman's vote is able to
change this situation.
There is in the field man clean
of character, honest and efficient,
who if nominated, is sure of receiv-
ing overwhelming support in the final
election. For many years past Daniel
L. Cruice has been a consistent and
efficient champion and defender of
the rights and interests of organized

 Verville arrived here with the horse Saturday and went to the home of Peter Barry. Sunday. a little after 5 o'clock he went away and left the horse, which he claimed was his. Off, cer Wolf was notified by Barry, who told him the story. After @ confe1s- ence with Borough Attorney A. M. Brown it was decided to wait until morning for developments. Monday mornings Bulletin told of the hunt by Norwich police for the TaftvilIe horse thief and the matter was thus explained. Had the Norwich police included Jewett City in their Sunday search, Officer Wolf could have put them on a hot trail. The local police had no evidence Sunday that the horse was stolen hence made no arrests.
