ATTACKED By T. R.
Bids Progressives Pay No Heed
to Greed Lines-Big Rally
Closes Campaign.

Theodore Roosevelt WOUND up his
campaign for the Progressive ticket i'm

audience in the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn. He made the occasion one
for d resume Of all the arguments he
had used for the last month and also
discussed the religious issue.
1--WE Progressives hold" he said,
that there should be no discrimina-
tion against any reputable creed nor
against any candidate because OF his
creed. We hold il to be just as much
OF an infamy as 20 criticise man be-
cause he is rich or poor. All we ask
is that q man act as a decent man
should. We Progressives are fighting
the fight OF righteousness
Barnes and Murphy got their fare
well rap from the Colonel, who insist
ed that ass long as the two were lead
ing their respective parties there could
be no real party division.

WILL ASK FOR NEW LAWS
Weights and Measures Men
Want Uniformity.

Means of securing legislation to aid
the Weights and Measures officials IN
correcting the evils of the system were
discussed yesterday al the final session
of the annual meeting Of the Interstate
Conference on Weights and Measures,
at pa West 10th ST.
Deputy Commissioner Tighe said that
great injustice was being done manu-
facturers, who carried stocks Of goods
in different states, and declared that
in only fifteen states are the officials
of the Weights and Measures Bureau
pronerly backed by the law.
What is necessary" he said, is
power to make regulations, which will
tend 20 standardize conditions. For
instance. there is wide variance in
the requirements IN regard 10 milk
bottles, berry baskets, etc. As it Is
now we are powcrlcss TO take steps
toward facilitating shipments Of such
products from one state 20 another
The delegates pledged themselves 20
work for new laws in states where
statutes are not clear.

M'COOK SKATERS
DEFENCE OF GLYNN
Declares McAneny Was Fooled
as to Governors Saving
State S11,000,000.

.Nicawber thanked heaven his debts
we're paid as he tore up the old note
and turned over a new one said
Philip J. McCook, president Of the New
York Republican Club, last night in a
statement answering the arguments for
Glynn Economy" put forth by Prcsi-
dent McAneny of the Board of Alder
men several days ago.
THAT seems 10 be the spirit in which
Governor Glynn made the vetoes and
establishments which, according to r..
McAneny. form the basis of his claim
TO have saved the state Sll,000,000."
Mr.. McCook pointed out that Gov
ernor Glynn said first he had saved
that amount for the state by cutting
the bills; then his friends asserted
the Governor meant he had signed ap-
propriations amounting 10 S1l,000.O00
less than Governor Sulzer, his prede-
oessor.
"Now Mr.. McAneny," Mr.. McCook as
serted, Says that ne cut upward q
Sll 900 900 from this years cost Of the
state government'-something entirely
different from either of the otner
claims"
Continuing Mr.. McCook took up the
McAueny statement item by item and
pointed out where he believed the
President Of the Board Of Alderneu
was misled.
Mr. McAneny has jumbled and added
together principal and interest, saving
and adjustment, items approximately
correct and items grossly incorrect, 20
make up this mythical Sll000,O0O,"
said Mr. McCook.
THE President of the Board Of AL
dermen has been badly fooled. His
figures do not for a moment stand su-
perfcial scrutiny, let alone veritication
by the records. He has been used as
cats paw, and has subscribed mis-
name to the groundless assertions of
Governor Glynn and Controller Sohmer,
who we're fighting him last year.
1T seems 70 me pity that q gentle
man like Nr McAneny, so often hon
ored by non-partisan movements in
thi, city. should have felt II his duty
to lend the prestige of a municipal Of

defence OF Governor Glynn. | hope

WRIGHT RIDICULES
GRAND JURY VISITS
Says Hungry Kings County Men
egularly Show Up at
Meal Time.

Deputy Commissioner Henry c.
Wright. Of the Department Of Chair
ties. questioned yesterday as 10 the
recent visit Of the grand jury TO
Blackweil's Island, said:
kings County grand juries are the
hungriest ones in the entire city. The
figures prove II. The appearance OF
the Kings County indictors and pre-
sentiment makers al meal time is pref
ty regular. Ii may be the air over in
Brooklyn. Any way, there is some
thing peculiarly strange. For once a
month the panel. twenty-three mem
bers strong, visits the Kings County
Hospital, quite by accident, at meal
time.
IL don't know where this custom
originated. but nobody seems 70 have
had the courage TO upset II. Some
cunning jury way back must have con-
ceived the idea. although II IS abso-
luteiy futile, just as the grand jury
visits 20 our institutions are.
Suppose the jurors walk through
Kings County Hospital. they may re-
turn d presentment to the County
Csuxt gappiaC the institution"

Others Also Attack Correctness
of Published Statements.

History as Il is written, particularly
American history came In for severe
criticisms at a meeting Of delegates
from patriotic, historical and CONNER
cial organizations under the auspices
Of the Lower Wall Street Business
Mems Association in the Coffee Tx
change yesterday afternoon. Colonel
Asa Bird Gardiner said that the Bos-
ton Massacre was merely a riot and
not a patriotic demonstration; Aoram
Wakcman denounced George Bancroft
as bigoted and Dr.. Thomas +. Finne-
gan, Of the State Department Of Edu-
cation. said that "New York makes
history, Massachusetts wrhes it,"
The meeting. arranged as part Of the

by a reception at Frances Tavern.

strating that American history as
written had done New York rank in
justice in picturing IT as the home OF

ing to Boston credit for things that
should have been given 70 New York.

House, and not in Boston, on June Il
of that year" The evacuation OF New
York by the British, he declared 20 be
the most important event in the couu-
try's history, yet il failed TO attract
attention of historians, while Bunker
Hill day is a holiday in Massachusetts.
The Boston Massacre" said Colonel
Gardiner, had nothing 70 DO with tho
struggle for liberty. It started With
small boys snowballing sentries, anG
wound up in a riot Of the lowest types
in the town. On the other hand, the
collision between the British troops in
New York and the Sons Of Liberty was
distinctly connected with the efforts
OF the patriots 20 keep standing a
liberty pole"
The Rev. DR.. William Elliott Griffis,
of Ithaca, said American history real
" began with Hudson, though Boston

Charles II. Sheriff., former Minister
