SECRETARY OF WAR GETS A
WARM RECEPTION AT

No Communiention From Wynne Has
Been Diseourteously Treated.
Austin. April 10.— (Speclal. )— The
following communication to the Aus-
tin Statesman corrects a misstatement
which has been floating around Aus-
tin for days past:
To the Editor: A Texas paper has
published a statement that the John
B. Hood camp of Confederate Veterans
had consigned to the waste basket an
application in behalf of Hon. R M.
Wynne by the camp at Fort Worth.
As adjutant of the camp, I receive and
report all communications to the camp.
No communication of the kind has been
submitied to the camp ana hence no
action han ever been taken. Our con-
stitution forbids Us camp from la-
red-hot harangue
Ms policy, unless he means that he
would destroy the plants that create
our prosperity. I don’t believe either
in that or government ownership, but
I believe in making corporations obey
the law and being prevented from de-
stroying the prosperity of others or
refusing to share with others the pros-
perity existing in their lines of bust-
new.”
Secretary Taft attacked Mr. Bryan s
plan for national Incorporation of con-

Louisville, April 10.—Secretary of
War Taft ended an eventfu and busy
‘five hours in Louisville by * speech
tonight at the Hopkins theatar. The
secretary arrived in Louisville at r:0
P. m., and after a rapid ride downtown •
matter be made to you.”
The first proposition taken up was
Bailey’s opening speech of the cam-
paign at Lufkin, In which, Benter said,
the senator had referred to him (Ben-
ter) as the leader of the Hearst forces
in Dallas county when the newspaper
man was a candidate for President. The
speaker denied this and stated that, in
fact, he had championed the cause of
Senator Cockrell. He said that Jie him-
self had never scratched a ticket, and
if Cone Johnson had done so in 1196,
ss reported, when he is alleged to
have torn the head of the ticket off,
he should not have done so.
Both prohibition and anti-prohibition
leaders were warned by the speaker
to beware of any approach from Bailey
adherents, and he stated that to his
certain knowledge he knew that those
who had the placing of the anti-pro-
hibition vote had been approached and
the suggestion thrown aside.
■ Bailey s investigation before the
Thirtieth ■ legislature. the $1,500 draft
incident, and in fact, everything else
about the Bailey matter was thorough
ly rehashed, and the speaker drew a
picture of a courtroom wit 1 the judge
and jury being told by the prisoner at
the bar hoy to hct. and compared the
investigation t Austin t ihai.
He told a story of a meeting with a
Bailey man on tne car coming over to
Fort Worth, in which the senator’s
supporter had said that charity cov-
ereth a multitude of sins, and that
Bailey should be forgiven. The speaker
stated that he answered that was true,
but that Dalley had not asked for for-
giveness, but was insulted when his
actions were questioned. He enarsed
that even now on the senator’s tour
bands of boys were being organised to
hurrah for the speaker, and referred
to one instance as that at the South-
western university.
He claimed that one reason why
Bailey now avoided mention of him aS
much as possible was the fact that
Renter had been asked to speak in be-
half of the senator on the floor of the
legislature before the full facts in the
case came out, and that he had intend-
ed to do so up to that time. He de-
fended Attorney General Davidson vig-
orously, and said that when the latter
had been questioned as to nis methods,
he had replied by demanding a com-
plete investigation, while now hafs op*
ponents were digging up slime and
filth to smear his name with. .
Agnin referring to Senator Baller
Mr. Senter said: "It take, something
more than six or ten feet to make a
man and something more than curly
hair and poetic speech to make a gen-
tiemsuggestlon that the actual draft
for $1,600 in controversy during the
investigation had been burned by Sen-
ator Bailey was made, and the old
letters and telegrams between the va-
rious officials of the oil company ret
warding the amount were again read
and rehashed. He recalled an editorial
in The Record of November, 1006,
wherein It was stated that the senator
had receipts for all transactions with
Pierce, but Senter declared when chal-
lenged to produce them Bailey failed
to do so , , , ..
A good crowd was on hand in the
Forty-eighth district courtroom when
the attack started, but a great many
left before the speech was over.
Dr. G. W. Griffiths.
Louisville, Ky., April 10.—Dr. George
W. Griffiths, for forty years one of the
most prominent physicians of Louis-
ville, died as the result of a stroke
of applexy today. Dr. Griffiths was
67 yers old.
Ing. Mr. Armstrong took up the move-
ment toward restrictive legislation. He
said that the way to stop stock gam-
bling was to put it under the social ban
that applies to all other forms of gam-
bling.
"The trouble is not with our estab-
lished markets and exchanges," he
paid, they protect business as well as
provide facilities for its transaction. It
is the very facilities that they afford
and so largely abused that are seem-
ingly responsible for the present criti-
cism and tirades against them.
"Now, as we cannot legislate the ex-
changes out of existence unless we
want to drive business out of the coun-
try and as all efforts to legislate hu-
man nature to a higher level have
proved distinct failures, we have got to
make speculative transactions that are
known to be of gambling intent un-
popular. unprofitable and indefensible.
"This cannot be done'by law, but it
can be done by education and it can be
done in large part by the banking cm-
munity. Tne man who is known as a
patron of gambling resorts and of pool-
rooms has no standing in the commu-
nity. either in business or socially.
Why should the man who, under the
guise of legitimate business transac-
tions. gambles in the market, be rated
any higher?" > ________

Washington, April 10.—The dove of
peace hovered over the house of rep-
resentatives today. Instead of inter-
minable roll calls and dashes of party
leaders on questios of parliamentary
law there was an orderly session de-
voted almost entirely to the considera-
tion of the naval appropriation bill.
Both Chairman Foss of Illinois and
Mr Padgett of Tennessee of the com-
mittee on naval affairs, made exhaust-
ive speeches justifying the action of
the committee in reporting what they
considered a conservative naval pro-
gramme for the next fiscal year.
Messrs. Fa v rot of Louisiana. McKnley
and Knowland of California pleaded
for a navy of such size as to be capa-
able of upholding at all times the honor
of the country st home and abroad,
while Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri ad-
vocated a halt in naval increase and
the substitution for it of arbitration in
matters of international dispute. Many
other speeches were made under the
order of general debate on the naval
bill, but they were on other subjects.
The list included Messrs. Webb of
North Carolina, who favored the regu-
lation of interstate traffic in intoxi-

he was visited by several prominent
men, among whom was Postmaster R.
B. Harrison,.a leading Republican of
this section. Judge Crawford was in-

If Judge Crawford had been in condi-

very few to hear him. It is safe to
say that not a dosen persons came to

Opposition to Demand for Federal In-
terferenee in State Prohibition.
Washington, April 10.-—Arguments
against the legality and expediency of
the Littlefield bill and similar meas-
ures tn extend federal aid to the en-
forcement of county, municipal and
iocal prohibition statutes, were made
today before the house committee on
the judicry by Representative Bar-
thoidt of Missouri, chairman of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds and president of the American
branch of the Interparliamentary
union.
"If,” he said, “the supreme court in
its decisions lias settled one thing, it
1s that an interstate shipment cannot
be interrupted or interfered with from
the time of its commencement to its
destination: that is, from the moment
it leaves the consignor to the moment
it is delivered to the consignee.
"I want to wy here and now without
fear of successful contradition, that
the federal 1w which our prohibition
friends are urging us to enact is ab-
solutely unnecessary if the suites them-
selves will honestly enforce their pro-
hbltior Jsws And I assert further,
that it is just because of their non-
enforcement thst (he friends of pro-
hibition come here to invoke the aid
of congress. It may be argued t
an enormous police in the states would
be necessary to watch against viola
tlons. but that is the penalty of the
enactment of Russian statutes.”

that despite the criticisms it called

Mr Foss, referring to the recent cen-

clems of the American battleship con-

ha been reached that American bat-
tleships had been promerly constructed
and compared, favorably with vessels
of foreign powers.

Carden Corrects Heading os Form of
Primary Ballot.
Dallas. April 10.—(Special.)—Hon.
George A. Carden tonight gave out the
following correction which he desires
to have the newspapers print:
Dallas, April 10,—To the Press: The
words, "official Democratic ballot,” ap-
pearing in the press of today in the
form of the ballot to be voted at the
primary May 1, should be changed to
read. "Democratic official ticket." This
would make the heading read. "Demo-
cratic official ticket for the election
of delegates and alternates at large to
the national Democratic convention,"
and this is the way it should read.
The error in the verbiage was inad-
vertently made by me.

Ottawa. Ont.. April 10 —Recent press
dispatches from Washington. Implying
that the passage of a treaty settling
the question of the diversion of Niag-
ara’s waters at the falls was being
held up by the refusal of the do-
minion government to come to terms,
are said in official circles to be at en-
tire variance with the facts.
The Canadian government. It is said,
always has been willing to abide by
the arrangement reached some years
ago by an international commission
and ineorporated in the Burton act by
the United tates. That arrangement
regulating the amount of water to be
taken from the Niagara on either side
of the boundary expires in June next
year. It was believed by the dominion
government that the present treaty ne-
gotiailons wouid reoult Ii. a xigrcc
ment to perpetuate the present ar-
rangement. but as the matter is viewed
here, the United States senate is block-

REASON FOR ACTION.
Names of Delegates at Large Not Placed
on Primary Ballots.
Dallas, April IV.— (Special.•—George
A. Carden, chairman of the state Demo,
cratic.executive committee, today stated
the reason the names of the electors at
large were not placed on the official
ballot for the May 2 primary, as given
out by him last night. The Terrell
election law specifically provides the
manner in which electors shall be
chosen. Mr. Carden thinks it would be
contrary to Isw to place the names
of the electors of either the Bailey or
anti-Bailey factions on the ballqts to
be voted May 0.
Chairman Carden stated further that
there is no warrant for the election
of delegates at large to the Democratic
national convention by a primary elec-
tion but that the suggestion had been
adopted on the wish of both the Bailey
and anti-Bailey forces and he hoped
every county in the state would fol-
low the state committee's advice.
The names of the electors at large
which Chavman Carden declined to
put on the official ballot for the reas-
ons above stated, are: For the Bailey
men: Hardy F. O’Neal of Cass county
and Jed C. Adams of Kaufman county.
For the anti-Bailey men: A. W. Ter-
rell of Travis county and J. E. Dillard
of Kaufman county.

gation and presented with a handsome
gold locket, set with a diamond, and
bearing the following inscription:
“From M P. A. of Texas, April 10.
1908.”
The presentation speech was made
by William Sbhuwirth of San Antonio,
to which Mr. Netzer appropriately ex-
pressed his appreciation.
Dallas and Beaumont were rivals for
the next annual convention and the
contest was spirited for a time, al-
though the latter city was finally
selected by a vote of 17 to 19 and the
selection was made unanimous.

Buniness Interests Say it will Result
In Harm.
Washington, April 10.—There were
four representatives of large commer-
cial enterprises before the house com-
mittee on banking and currency to-
day. and all af them opposed the Al-
drich currency bill, which they declared
would do no good and might result in
much harm to the business interests of
the country. • 7
Victor Morawetz of New York made
an extened argument against the bill.
The other speakers were E F- Clark
of Detroit Frank Lanne of Philadel-
phia and Horace White of New York.
The hearing will be resumed Monday.
Washington, April 10.—The questions
as to whether a requirement of pub-
licity of campaign contributions could
be made to ' include candidates for
presidential electors was brought
prominently forward today In the hear-
ing before the house committee on
elections, which is considering the Mc-
Call bill, calling for publicity of the
contributions to campaign funds for
candidates for congress Representa-
tive Cockran of New York, contended
that an amendment providing for con-
tributions to the campaign funds of
candidates for presidential electors
would be constitutional, but this posi-
tion was attacked by Representative
Hardwick of Georgia, who claimed that
the supreme court of the United States
holds thst the election of presidential
electors is a matter within the juris-
diction of a state. Mr. Cockran ad-
mitted that the court ruled on this
point, but mnrnearned that the effect
of its decision was that the state has
authority to conjointly with the.United
States government to supervise such
•lections He objected to the provi-
sion of the McCall bill which provides
that "persons, companies, associations
or organizations which shall in two or
more states influence the result or at-
tempt to influence the result of any
election in which members of congress
are to be electeld. shall file • state-
ment of the same under oath with the
clerk of the house of representatives."
He said that under this provision the
desired result of publicity could not
be obtained. To meet this objection
Chairman Gaines asked Perry Belmont,
president of the Publicity League,
which is favoring the McCall bill. If
he would be willing to have the bill
so amended as to strike out tke words
-in two or more states” and make it
cever any election. Mr. Cockran fa-
vored this amendment and Mr. Bel-
mont said it was satisfactory to him
Former Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire, who also is supporting the
McCall bill, gave notice that he did not*
approve the proposition that the bill
shnd be so amended as to include
state committees and on’this Mr Bel-
mont agreed with him, saying that the
object was to secure publicity of con-
tributions to national committees.
During the course of Mr Belmont’s
argument he drew a comparison be-
tween a man who commits a bursary
and one who commits an offense
against election laws
"I want to interrupt there,” raid
Chairman Gaines. "I have often heard
that comparison made, and I wish to
say that whenever anyone commits a
robbery the whole public wishes to
eee him prosecuted. Whenever anyone
commits an offense against the election
laws, unfortunately, the whole public
does not wish to see him convicted.
The hearing will be resumed to-
morrow.
important, but are being kept alive by
the gentleman, who, I presume, will
head the Democratic column. Mr. |
Bryan, I presume, speaks for the Dem-
ocratic party."
At the mention of Bryan’s name there
was a scattering but vigorous applause
lasting a minute or two. When they <
had become quiet, Secretary Taft smil-
ingly said.
"I am glad to note that there appears
to be a number of Democrats disguised
as followers of Mr. Bryan in the house.
I hope they will stay and hear a little
sound-'doctrine.”
Amid laughter and cheers the secre-
tary then launched into a discussion
of the policies of McKinley and Roose-
velt in regard to the acquisition and
government of the Philippines and
other. colonies acquired as a result of
the Spanish war.
At the beginning of his remarks he
criticised Mr. Bryan for attacking; the
administration’s policy in the Philip-
pines after he had been largely respon-
sible for the signing of the treaty of
Paris and the consequent assumption
by the United States of the burden of
governing the Philippines. He painted
a picture of increasing prosperity and
closed with an expression of his "con-
viction as strong as his hope,” that
when the Filipinos are able to walk
alone, congress will grant them abso-
lute self-government.
Turning from the colonies to the need
they emphasize for an ample navy, the
secretary said:
"The complaisant ones and the timid
ones shrink from a large navy with
the cry: 'It will provoke a war.’ We
need a navy to prevent wars. Even the
Democrats are firm adherents of a
principle that alone renders the main-
tenance of an ample navy imperative.”
Turning to the tariffs, Secretary Taft
recounted the history of the Wilson
and Dingley bills. The former, he
characterised as mongrel; under the
latter, he said, we enjoyed a prosperity
unequalled in history.
"But of late,’’ he continued, “there
has come to pass a period of industrial
depression resulting “from economic
causes. It has become apparent, there-
fore, that some of the schedules are
not high enough and others are too
high and that the tariff should be re-
vised."
Secretary Taft then launched into a
forceful and witty description of what
he termed “the political moral awak-
ening of the American people at the
initiative of Roosevelt."
His remarks on the administration’s
anti-trust policy followed the lines of
his recent speeches and without new
points. He described the workings of
the Sherman anti-trust and Hepburn
laws, and the Elkins law. and followed
it with an expose of the methods of
the lawbreaking trusts.
"Mr. Bryan,” said the speaker, "asks
me what should be done with the great
combinations of capital He says he
would extirpate trusts, root and brunch.
I don’t know how he would carry out
