SHADOW LAWN FUNCTION.

President Wilson has spoken in
formal acceptance of an honor con-
ferred on him practically by himself.
He not only dictated his denomination
at St. Louis, which four years ago he
was pledged to renounce, but censored
the platform OF his party by telephone
from the White House. The Demo-
cratic party it is Woodrow Wilson.
obstinate and autocratic. Therefore
what ne said in defense Of his admin

was in self praise. In this pose ne has
had no equal in the country. We hea-
1.-THE same egotistical Fluctuations We
have been accustomed to for the pas:
three years. The wordy claims he has
made for his administration are in
keeping with the grave admiration he
has always shown for his personal
sprowess over Congress in moulding il
TO his imperial orders and subduing
party Instructions by clamping on the
CAUCUS lid. For these and many Other
reasons criticisms Of the one-man
: party must necessarily be projected
against the famboyant prophet OF the
New Freedom. the architect and build

ton he has conferred on the country.
Mr.. Wilson has evolved some very
plausible statements in defense Of his
administration. They arc nothing nu;

TWO MORE CHARGES
 AGAINST WILLIAMS
Man Fined $50 Today for Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses
 ,.aaJG May Be AIraigned Again.

H. A. Williams, erstwhile resident of Holyoke, who was fined $50 and costs in police court this morning for obtaining money under false pre- lenses, and whose lawyer A. A. Greenberg, told the judge that his client had assured him that he never would have committed the act had he been perfectly sober, may possibly face two additional charges of sinli- lar character tomorrow morning.
 Developments since morning show that Williams is alleged to have worked his f1eecing game on the I. Porter company and Harry Alex. In each instance he went to the store and ordered @ buffet and an electric f1atirOn, the police say. He ordered the buffet sent to PA West Main street and took the iron with him, promising to pay for both when the buffet was delivered. Of course there was no such number as PA West Main street and it is alleged that he tried to sell the irons This morning he pleaded guilty to working a finn fam game of this nature on Louis Wrinkle last Saturday.
 Aaron Carlson, of the firm of Brick son & Carlson, known also as the I. Porter company, stated this afternoon that he had no desire to press the charges against Williams. Previous complaint had been made, however, and the matter is now in the hands of the prosecuting attorney.
 Another man visited the police to- day with a third charge against Will Hams. He claims Williams met him on the street and told him he had a valuable house on Washington street which, because of heavy mortgages, he would sell very cheap. The man was unable to visit the house so the ''sale' did not take place.

RECORDS SMASHED
 ON STOCK MARKET
American Beet, Cuban Sugars,
 Central Leather and U. s. Steel Up

Wall St.-Dealings on a broad scale at higher levels were resumed at the opening of tcday's stock market, specailties leading the movement. High records were established by American Beet and Cuban Cane Su- gars and Central Leather also scored a new maximum. United States Steels belated opening showed gain of point, with as much or more for American Can, Pressed Steel Car, Westinghouse, International Paper and Inspiration Copper. Other metal issues were in general demand and the inquiry for rails was again fea- tured by unusual activity in Wabash issues, Denver and Rio Grande pre- fcrred, Chesapeake and Ohio and Rock Island
 Trading assumed much wider pro- portions before II o'clock, embracing issues Of every description. Inces- sant profit taking exercised little or no effect, prices attaining higher levels. Cnusual activity in Bethlehem Steel which rose 30 points to 580 was conspicuous feature. Central Leath- CT and sugars extended their gains with metals, marines, petrolemus and fertilizec. United States Steel be- came the central figure later, rising to the new record of 121 IA, with gains of 1 to4 points in related stocks. Rails were relatively backward but firm. Dealings up to the noon hour, when almost zuoyant conditions prevailed, approximated 750,0OO shares. Bonds were firm.
 Close-Speculative issues yielded one to two points in the later opera tions, but made partial recoveries on the greater strength of high grade rails. The closing was strong.
