ROOSEVELT HITS
WILSON'S COURSE
MOST OF HIS SPEECH AT PITTS.
BURGH LAST NIGHT A CRIT.
CISM OF DEMOCRATIC
RECORD.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Theodore Roose-
velt delivered last night the first DO
litical address that has come from
him since his return from Brazil. 1t
was divided, generally speaking into
three parts-an attack on the Wilson
administration, an Indictment of
bosses" and an exposition of the
principles OF the Progressive party.
The administration tariff laws.
Col. Roosevelt hailed as a colossal
failure, particularly hard upon the
farmer; Its antitrust program he
branded as an economic absurdity.
Its foreign policy he styled as ''wret-
ched", but upon this he did not elab-
crate. The Democratic tariff, he in
sisted, had brought distress upon the
nation. had not lowered the cost of
living and had chiefly benefited for
eign rivals of American business. The
solution rested, he argued, in sup
port of the Progressive movement.
and the enactment of laws providing
for tariff revision by non-partisan
commission.
OF the "bosses," Mr.. Roosevelt
said what he has heretofore-that
they thwarted the rank and file of
the Republican party by the nom
nation of Taft at Chicago and in so
doing, deliberately put the Demo-
cratic organization and Mr.. Wilson
into power.
Democrats Afraid of Power.
In conclusion, the colonel sketched
the Progressive idea of needed anti
trust regulation by properly empow-
cred commissions, contrasting such
proposals with legislation now pend
ing at Washington, which he found
woefully inadequate. Such program
alone, he contended, proved the in
adequacy of the Democratic party.
ut Is and always will be-" he said,
"the states rights party, the party
afraidof-power.'
Yet the colonel warned those dis
satisfied with the administration not
through their resentment to throw
their support to the leaders he had at
tackled. To do SO, he said, would on
ly ensure a continuation of govern
ment by conclusion, of a government
al see-saw between two sets of poll
cies."
Invites Cooperation.
He spoke word concerning those
whom the Progressiv~ would well
come to the party. I'VE will gladly
work" he said. with any men who
Will themselves, with open sincerity

ciples, provided that they are men of

ence in their good faith. In this spirit

Washington, d. C.-In connection
with its announced purpose to hire
an army of detectives to ferret out
fraud and evasion in income tax re.

cred that it has put its hand into a
political hornets nest.
1t hos come to realize that if it in
stitutes a sweeping investigation
such as was originally proposed, ev.
cry man placed on the grill will be-
come a virulent enemy of the Demo.
cratic party.
Each will feel that the government
is not justified in questioning his
word. Many, whether investigated
or not. will be disposed to resent the
suspicion the administration has
thrown about all taxpayers.
Candidates. Protest Headed.
The political aspect of the matter
has brought down upon the president
and Mr.. McAdoo an insistent demand
from democratic candidates that their
burdens be not added to by the exer-
else of offensive search into the af-
fairs of citizens. i
treasury intends to go slowly in car
rying out the policy he has detsrmin-
ed upon.
There will be Investigations made

lieve fraud has been attempted. But

from any inquisition by government
agents.

Unfortunately, Pathe's Weekly OF

forth Mitchell will have one more
attraction to show her visitors. The
Oil we'll is believed to be genuine, not
the creation of a jokester or the re-
suit of seepage from nearby oil stor.
age tanks.
The alarm was sounded almost at
10 O'Clock, when the we'll at the back
OF the Jennings and Bailey livery
stable, between Second and Third
avenue on Lawler, was discovered to
be ablaze. The department made
immediate response and in a few
minutes the fire was extinguished.
The only damage was to the platform
and posts about the we'll.
Oil Has Been Known.
That the we'll had oil in it was first
noticed in March, 1913. At that time
it was discovered that the we'll which
is Is or 20 years old, gave out water
ctively oily odor
The we'll has been used continu-
ously since the first discovery of the
oil, which had been found in the

Several times the oil has been

On one occasion, the oil was used by

Small Pocket Possible.
According to S. H. Smith, city en-
gineer, it is not probable that any
strata of oil bearing sand or gravel
exists in this vicinity, as it would
have been discovered in some of the
innumerable wells that have been
drilled. In his belief, the oil in this
we'll may come from a small pocket
of oil-bearing sand.
That the oil in the we'll probably |
does not come from seepage is based
on the fact that the we'll is as feet in
the sand. 1T is not believed that oil
from nearby tanks could seep
through the earth and into the sand
this distance. All of the owners Of
the nearest tanks declared this NOR
ming that they had not noticed any
loss OF oil through leakage,

ASKS BANKS
OF BUSINESS
SECRETARY McADoo SEEKS IN
THIS WAY no FIND OUT 2
ABOUT DEPRESSION,

Washington, D., C.-Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo is going to find
out, If he can, whether the business
depression is purely psychological"
as characterized by President Wilson,
and whether the United States treas
ury can be of aid to commercial and
industrial enterprises by the deposit
of government funds in theb banks.
The secretary today sent to the
president of every national bank in
the country set of inquiries con-
cerning the prospective need for
funds for the moving of crops and
for other commercial needs. He
stands ready to deposit in the banks
$50, 100000 or more, as was done last
merce in the west and south.
If the replies of the banks show
great demand for money it will be
argued that business is booming and
that the depression is psychologists
al" Others will draw the inference
that government deposits are de-
sired because business enterprises
find it impossible to pay loans OBJ
tanned from the banks and are re-
newing their notes.
In view or all the calamity hoWl-
ing. it looks as if Mr.. McAdoo has
passed the buck to the banks" said
democratic senator tonight.
The Letter intimates that there may
be some delay in the organization of
the federal reserve board, which is
causing the department anxiety. II
states emphatically, however. that
the department stands ready at all
times, whether the organization OF
the new banking system is delayed
or not. to aid legitimate business in
every way.
Some bankers regard the questions
asked today as too inquisitorial, and
there may be protest against answers
to them. Secretary McAdoo has EN-
phasized in his letter that he intends
to use them only for the purpose OF
aiding the banks, but, nevertheless
perusal of the questions will show
that the information cleaned from
