ROOSEVELT URGES
BEVER|DGE'S IDEAS
Declares That Indiana Progressive
Tariff Plan Is Only One
Not Vicious.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. September 2s.-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September 20
Theodore Roosevelt concluded his one
day tour of Indiana here tonight with
an address that was devoted largely to
advocating the election of Albert ].
Beveridge, the progressive candidate
for United States senator for Indiana.
The colonel came here from Terre
Haute, where he spoke in the after
noon.
Preceding the meeting there was a
large parade, in which were a number
of delegations from over the state.
Mr.. Roosevelt reviewed the career of
Mr. Beveridge from the time he was a
plowboy at twelve to the present, but
dwelt largely on his record in the
United States Senate.
"It was Senator Beveridge," the colo
putting through a thoroughgoing meat
inspection law, and he also played a
leading part in forcing the passage of
the pure food law. It was he who
originated the idea Of making the
stopping of child labor in health de-
stroying Industries q national affair"
In speaking of the tariff Col. Roose-
Welt said: Both the old Payne-Aldrich
bill and the present tariff bill are vi
one way, just as the other went to the
extreme in the other way. and both
have been formed In precisely the
same manner. 1t is only by the meth
ods advocated by Senator Beveridge
and the progressive party that we ever
will secure proper tariff legislation in
this country"

POLICEMEN WILL HAVE
MORE TIME OFF DUTY
Fewer Men Detained at Station
Houses for Reserves Owing
to Auto Service.

By a system just inaugurated by Maj.
Sylvester. policemen in the District Of
Columbia will have considerable more
time at home. Instead Of doing reserve
duty at the station houses after they
have performed eight hours Of duty on
the streets every other day, as hereto
fore. a policeman will only be COM
PEELED to do such duty about every
eight or ten days.
Under the new system as each section
Of a police precinct goes on duty for
eight hours Of work of patrolling the
city, one member. Of that section IL
left at the station house for eight
hours AS that section goes on duty a
section comes or and one man Of that
section is left at the station house for
a reserve duty of six additional hours.
Two hours of that time, however, is
allowed him for meals.
BY the old method, when a section
went of duty every other day. half of
the section was required to do reserve
duty at the station house for six ad-
ditional hours.
The installation Of the motor patrols
at a number of station houses. by
which means policemen could readily
be secured in case of need. caused Maj.
Sylvester to decide to try out the new
system which he declares has already
proved successful.

HAS Plan. FOR STOCKS
Exchange Member Suggests Buying
Europe's Securities on Par

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 26.-John
Muir Of the New York Stock Exchange
believes that the opening Of the exchange
could be facilitated by adopting plan
for taking Europe's holdings of Amert-
can securities on a partial payment plan.
Mr. Muir explains his suggestion thus
'If a plan could be devised whereby
America could arrange to buy the Sc

ITALIANS
HELP ULTIMATELY
Allies See Good in Neutrality
of Rome and Hope for
Aid Later.

Special Cablegram to The Star and New York Times.
LONDON. September 2B-Following
Winston Churchilrs utterances when
he gave rather substantial reasons for
Italy participat ting in the war on the
side of allies, there is renewed interest
in Italy's probable action. Inquiry in
authoritative quarters indicates that
Italy is not ready to act just now, al
though there is ground for believing
that she will ultimately enter conflict
at the sides of the allies.
The British government officially is
doing nothing, not desiring to put it.
self in the position of dragging Italy
into the war, but there seems little
doubt this government feels certain
that sooner or later Italy will join. At
present Italy is in a position where
participation would be founded only on
opportunity to take advantage for self
ish reasons of Austria's weakness and
imperiled position.
Italy is awaiting a better moment for
action when she could join with justi-
fication on account of some specific
action. Just what this might be re-
mains undisclosed, but there Is reason
to believe that this opportunity will
appear.
England's official information COIN
cides, with press reports to the effect that
tIIC dtIieuuc u tfie pubic IdVOTS war.
The government. however, is described as
holding an attitude of strict neutrality,
endeavoring to avoid the danger Of being
forced into war through popular clamor.
In the meantime the allies are quite con-
tent with Italy's attitude. If Italy had
cast her lot with. German and Austria
the campaign would not be nearly so IA
vorable, as France would have been
compelled to keep a large army on the
italian frontier and the naval situation
in the Mediterranean would have been
greatly complicated.
In that way Italys position is decided
ly helpful, and there is every reason to
believe she is most friendly to the allies,
while there is hope Of her finally actively
Joining them.
Turkeys decision is awaited with
equal interest. Observers here think that
Germany's Vaccinations are making an
unfavorable impression on Constantinople,
where the government excels in discern
ing what is best for itself.
Evidence at hand convinces of1cialdom
that Germany is OVERRIDING the propa-
ganda in Turkey in the same manner as
in America, thus lessening the chances Of
Turkey participating.
