FOUR SPEECHES
IN CONNECTICUT
MADE BY JUDGE PARKER.
G BEAT CROWDS HEARD THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
Enthusiasm Marked His Reception
at Ail the Pluces He Visited—Au
diences Showed Their Apprecia
tion of Him and His Doctrines.
Principal Speech Made at Hart
lord— Meeting There One of the
Greatest of the Campaign.
Hartford, Conn., Nov. 3.—Four en
thusiastic audiences greeted Judge
Parker to-day on his only visit to the
slate in the campaign, and in several
other places through which his special
train passed he was given rousing im
promptu welcomes.
The principal speech of the trip was
in this city to-night. The other re
ceptions were held in Bridgeport, New
Haven and Meriden, where an address
was made from the rear end of the
train. This speech dealt with the
question of trusts, and the candidate
denied the charge that the Standard
Oil Company is the financial sponsor
of the Democratic party and charged
that the company’s interests are with
the Republican party.
The meeting in this city -was one of
the greatest of the campaign in this
state. Judge Parker was given a
warm welcome from the moment he
reached the city. The meeting was
held in the Opera House. All en
trances were blocked by the time the
candidate was driven to the Opera
House, and admittance was obtained
with the greatest difficulty.
Judge Parker held informal recep
tions after each of his meetings and
shook hands during the day and even
ing with several thousand people. He
remained over night in Hartford and
will start on his return trip to New
York to-morrow morning.
This city became wildly enthusias
tic over Judge Parker at a monster
rally held In the Opera House to-night.
Democrats from all parts of the state
came here and the accommodations for
the audience was entirely inadequate.
The crowd proved to be the most de
monstrative of any he had faced dur
ing the day. The ovation lasted
eighteen minutes, most of the audi
ence being on their feet shouting wild
ly, while hundred of them waved flags.
The Shipping question.
Judge Parker in his speech here re
ferred to the shipping question as fol
lows :
“The time has again come when we
need ships of our own, but they
should be built, not at the cost of
the government, not from taxes drawn
from all the people, but as a result of
the enterprise of our people. They
should be designed and constructed by
the ingenuity of our engineers, operat
ed by our seamen and owmed by our
people. Every landing place along
these limitless coasts of ours ought to
he a nursery, however rude, for the
sailor. Our products sent to other
countries should be carried in Ameri
can bottoms and that almost Infinite
demand by our people for the prod
ucts of other countries, should enable
us to bring them everything that their
material comfort, education and pro
gress makes it necessary or desirable
for them to use.”
Judge Parker commended Interna
tional arbitration, but thought our
best assurance for peace would be to
maintain onlv such an army as is
actually needed. He then took up the
tariff question, reviewing the develop
ment of a high protective tariff, which
he said compelled us to pay more for
things we buy than we otherwise
would. He continued:
Extortions by tlie Trusts.
“If a collector from the steel trust
should ask you to contribute a dollar
a year for each member of your fam
ily. would you do it? You cannot
think of any argument that could per
suade you to. Yet, the celebrated sta
tistician, Edward Atkinson, asserts
that the steel interests collect an av
erage of $1 a year for each person with
the aid of the tariff statute.
"Precisely that result is accomplish
ed as to many articles by our present
tariff laws. Sewing machines, mow
ing machines, farm implements of va
rious kinds, as well as a great num
ber of articles every day purchased,
are made in this country, and sold
abroad cheaper than they are sold
here. Some are sold one-fifth cheaper,
others one-quarter, and still others
one-third, after paying the expense of
transportation across the ocean. That
fifth or quarter or third represents the
amount the purchaser is obliged to
place in the manufacturer’s box over
and above the fair value of the thing
purchased, as evidenced by the price
ht which he sells it abroad.
"He compels you to pay this amount
oy means of a statute which places
the duty so high that foreign competi
tion is cut off.”
Democrat* Optioned Trust*.
After pointing out the necessity for
the development of our foreign trade,
Judge Parker addressed himself to the
trust question, saying:
“Our opponents have the effrontery to
claim that they alone have shown any
desire to oppose the trusts. Their claim
® (( a * false as It is flagrant.
St> far from this being the fact,
the record shows that time and again

party have begun prosecutions under

tion served its purpose.
, Rom. ns it was. of a union between
the trusts and the Republican partv,
the parallel of this legislation in scan
dalous features, does not exist upon
our statute books to-day.
It puts into the hands of the Presi
dent and of the Republican party the
means of continuing its hold upon the
reins of government without limit as
to time, through the possession of se
crets of the trusts which under the
terms of the legislation itself, he may
make public or private as he directs.
YV e know full well how the oppor
tunity for the use of that legislation
has been availed of in this campaign.
The statute could not have been bet
ter devised for successful ‘financing’
of the present election of the candidate
of the Republican party, or for its
indefinite perpetuation in power.
Don’t Run It Like That.
“In the promotion of our business
interests, we need a Department of
Commerce and Labor. But we do not
want a Department of Commerce and
Labor whose secretary sh'all go out
from it every four years, after he had
filled his brain and his notebooks with
the secrets of all the great corpora
tions and combinations, which depend
upon the government for business or
favors, not in order to serve the peo
ple, but to raise money' to corrupt them.
Nor do our people want a department
to send its statisticians at the ex
pense of the government into the serv
ice of a great political committee, in
order to put forth doctored statistics.
“We want a Department of Com
merce and Labor which will furnish
our merchants, farmers, manufacturers
and workmen with the fullest and lat
est information, Intelligently and hon
estly obtained, and so fairly prepared
that dependence may be placed upon
it as a real guide. We want to know
what other countries are doing in in
dustries, and this is all the more im
portant because we feel sure that in
none of them has the head of such
a department retired from his work
to go out into the business to collect
campaign money.
“We could not and ought not to
have to -have a modern inquisitor who
exploits corporations to collect money
for corrupting the franchise, or elect
ing pliant legislators, or capturing the
electoral vote of pivotal states.
“The manufacturers and the work
ingmen of Connecticut want the world
for their markets, and that depart
ment of the government should be
used fop their commercial advantage
and that of their fellow manufactur
ers and operatives throughout the
country.”
JUDGE PARKERTALKED
TO STUDENTS OF YALE.
The Strennou* Life Not Recommend
ed to the Youth*.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 3. —A large
and Aiger crowd filled the New Haven
station as Judge Parker’s train roll
ed in. There was cheering w r hen the
presidential candidate was recognized
crossing the platform, accompanied by
Judge A. Heaton Robertson, the party
candidate for Governor. The jfarty
took carriages and were driven slow
ly through a number of streets to
Music Hall, which was well filled be
fore Mr. Parker arrived. The gal
lery had been reserved for Yale men,
and applause was unstintedly given
by them as Mr. Parker took his seat
on the platform.
Judge Parker devoted part of his
address to the students and then took
up “The Strenuous Life.” He said:
“It has become a fashion during re
cent years to exhort our young men
to lead what has been called ‘the
strenuous life.’ Not content with our
universal activity In industry, our work
in the conquest of a continent, the
conclusion seems to h'ave been reached
that somehow we had overlooked some
thing. We have always had an ef
ficient army of brave soldiers well
commanded. It has been so sufficient
for our needs that we have been able
to resist the onslaught of the savage,
to Ward off foreign aggression, and
to settle our own internal troubles.
“But this does not seem to satisfy.
We must be strenuous in adventure,
for personal glory, and even in looking
for a fight. It Is apparently not enough
that we shall be active in every moral
and religious movement, In everything
that can promote education, the train
ing and the discipline of our youths—
these, apparently do not assure real
progress. We are invited to turn aside
from these into those lines of activity
and adventure which smack of the Cru
sades, and of the time, w'hen the moat
ed castle W'as the only home in which
human beings could be fairly to
have a right to live.”
Judge Parker said college students
had always been strenuous, but they
had not become swashbucklers in
school or afterward.
Judge Parker concluded with a few
words addressed to first voters.
PROGRESS DOES NOT
MEAN STANDING PAT.
Judge Parker Rrfrr* to the Slogan
of the Republican*.
Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 3.—When
Judge Parker’s special train pulled in
to the station here from New York to
day the Judge was received with an
outburst of applause by the people,
who thronged the platform. Parker
was immediately welcomed in a for
mal way by Gen. Henry A. Bishop,
candidate for lieutenant governor on
the Democratic ticket.
After luncheon Judge Parker w'as
driven with Gen. Bishop to the Third
Regiment Armory, where he delivered
an address to an audience which taxed
the capacity of the building. When
Judge Parker entered the audience
cheered for five minutes. Judge Par
ker said In part:
"During the past few years an en
tirely new doctrine has been preached.
Its logic Is that whatever else we have
done in the world, whatever human
Imperfections may still exist, so far us
the levy of taxes Is concerned, wo
have reached absolutely perfection.
The phrase ‘standing pat’ used to de
note this idea, may not be elegant, but
It Is, at least, expressive."
Judge Parker gave historical In
stances of "standing pat” and blocking
the way of progress, and said:
"The whole of modern progress has
come largely from the refusal of the
world to "stand pat.’ Each successive
generation has recognized the virtues
and accepted the labors of its prede
cessors, but In doing so none has even
declined or refused lo recognise new
demands or lo correct old abuses.
“There is no more reason why we
should not revise our national revenue
laws than there would have been at
other period* of hf*tory lo stop all
progres*. This is especially true of

Map Showing Port Arthur's Forts, Which for Nine Months Have Defied Capture.
BRAVERY AND AWFUL CARNAGE
MARK THE STORY OF THE
SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR
Detailed Account of the Desperate Attacks of the
Japanese and the Heroic Defense
of the Russians. ,
Headquarters Japanese Army in
Front of Port Arthur, Nov. 2, by way
of Che Foo. Nov. 3. (censored) —When
the Japanese drove the Russians from
their strong position on the last range
of hills in front of the fortress by a
surprise attack, July 30, the Russians
retired to the forts, but they also held
strong previously prepared advance
lines to prevent the Japanese from
closing in upon the fortified ridges.
Taku and Shakhu mountains were first
taken by the Japanese, but an at
tempt Aug. 14 to capture another Rus
sian position failed.
It was announced at Japanese head
quarters on Oct. 15 that siege guns
would be in position and ready to be
gin a bombardment on the 20th. The
Associated Press correspondent was
welcomed by Gen, Nogi, who said he
was just in time to see the conclusion
of a successful campaign and the
capture of Port Arthur.
The wet weather fermented the rice
and produced much berl-beri among
the Japanese troops. The number of
cases from June to September was
nearly 16,000.
During the colder weather of October
there were practically no cases of beri
beri.
During the morning of the 19th the
siege guns opened a desultory fire to
find the ranges, and an entire division
of infantry advanced and assaulted
the Russian redoubts at the foot of
Rihlung mountain. The troops captur
ed, the trenches in front of the re
doubts.
Iteir'in In Earnest.
The operations began in earnest at
daybreak on the 20th with a bombard
ment of the whole line of the Russian
forts. Under cover of the bombard
ment the Japanese Infantry made a
determined general advance against the
Russians’ first trenches. The wiy in
to the city was protected by four ad
vance half moon fdrts, connected by
bomb proof trenches ‘and having a |
twenty-foot moat in front. A desper- !
ate attempt was made by the Japan
ese during the afternoon to capture
the strongest half moon fort. The
infantry charged, cut the entangle
ments, crossed the moat with scaling
ladders, stormed the fort and drove the j
Russians back. But the real strength j
of their position lay in the bomb proof !
trenches. They were filled with troops |
and concealed machine guns, which j
poured a deadly hail of bullets into the j
Japanese and forced them to retire.
At about the same time the Rus
sians recaptured the trenches in front
of the redoubt In advance of the Rih
lung fort. On the right flank the Rus
sian tine was forced back. One Jap
anese regiment worked up the east
Slope and another regiment made its
way up the west slope of 174 yards
hill, under the concentrated fire of the
Russian artillery and captured the fort
at the point of the bayonet at noon.
Elsewhere the Japanese were repulsed.
Without Orders, Saved tlie ny,
The assault threatened to result in
hii utter failure to secure a foothold
on the fortified ridge, and Gen. Nogi
summoned the generals of the left and
center divisions to consult with him
concerning the operations. During his
absence, on Aug. 21, without special
orders several companies of a regiment
of the center division emerged from
their trenches, at the foot of the East
Banjusan fort, and In tens and twen
ties charged up the slope to the broken
wsll of the trench ground the crest
of the fortified hill, undir cover of "a
splendid shrapnel practice from their
field batteries in the valley. The Rus-
Sitns behind the wall end In the fort
poured out a hall of rifle bullets, aud
SAVANNAH. GA.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1004
the machine and quick-firing guns
belched forth on the intrepid Japan
ese. Twice the latter were forced back
till the slope was covered with bodies,
but a third attempt was made and a
score of Japanese reached the broken
wall. The terrible fire of the Rus
sians, however, started their retire
ment.
Oltleer’s Heroic Sacrifice.
Suddenly a Japanese officer, regard
less of the danger, stood up, called out
an order, planted ills regimental flag
on the wall and was immediately rid
dled with Russian bullets. The effect
on the Japanese of this sacrifice was
instantaneous. The retreating infan
trymen stopped in their tracks, hesi
tated and then charged back, fought
like demons. Jumped over the wall,
charged the Russians with bayonets
and forced many of them up the gla
cis, over the ramparts and into the
fort.
The fact that they had reached the
corner wall on the dead ground en
abled the Japanese to hold on, though
the entire Russian fire was concen
trated on that point for six hours. The
Japanese were reinforced from time to
time by rushes make by their com
rades up the death way from the
trenches, and they stubbornly held the
corner wall and a small section of the
Russian trenches until two companies
of another regiment worked through
the trenches and captured the west
Banjusan fort, the magazine of which
bad been blown up by a shell a short
time before. Later part of the South
Keekwan fort was captured.
Peculiar Situation.
The dawn of the 23rd developed a
peculiar position. The assault of the
previous afternoon had resulted in
piercing the Russian fortified ridge east
of Port Arthur, in the form of a wedge,
while the entire line east and west
was still strongly held. At daylight
the Russians concentrated their
shrapnel fire on the captured forts and
the Japanese south of Keekwan were
ejected from their positions.
The Banjusan forts were subjected
to an awful fire, but the Japanese In
possession of them continued making
bomb-proof trenches on the hills.
There was a fierce bombardment ail
day.
There was tremendous activity, the
rear lines sending forward ammuni
tion. The news came in whispers that
a general assault along the whole line
would take place between midnight
and 3 o’clock in the morning. The
Russians, anticipating an assault,
made a strong counter attack. The
Japanese advance lines were driven
from the forts and were furiously at
tacked by large bodies of Russians.
The Russian move was cleverly
planned and their artillery command
ers were well Informed, for they open
ed fire with shrapnel on the advance
of the Japanese supports across the
valley, using star-lights and search
lights with good effect In the counter
attack on the Japanese forces. The
general assault then began and foe
twenty minutes the whole Japanese
line was engaged. The left division
from the trenches in front of the
Keekwan forts charged the fortified
hills.
Triumph Cnl Short.
Part of the advance had gained the
crests and shouted, ‘’Banzai!’’ when
their triumph was cut short. Sudden
ly the two powerful searchlights of
the east forts lighted up the Japanese
lines, and Russian riiles and machine
guns poured a deadly hail into the
cleat ly visible ranks of the attacking
troops. The Japanese were slowly
forced down the slopes to the
trenches below.
On the west fiank the searchlights
of Etse and Talyangkow forts played
along the Japanese trenches, prevent
ing the movement of troops. The Jap
anese artillerymen concentrated their
fire on searchlight, shells contin
ually blanketing the lights.
Suddenly the light of Etse fort dis
appeared and the light of Talyangkow
fort followed. The Japanese infantry
on the right flank advanced on the
trenches clone to the Russian tines
when th* light was Hashed out in the
faces of the advancing troops and ku
sian machine guns, previously well
placed, swept the fire along the lines,
while the rifles blrzed with continual
rattle.
The Japanese captured the Banju
san forts, outflanking the Russian
forces, and slowly forcing their lines
back to the foot of the fortified hills.
Though the Japanese plan of attack
was destroyed by the Russian counter
attack, the Japanese fought with
splendid determination. Slowly the
Russians were driven back up the
slopes, fighting desperately with rifles.
Russiun I/lshta Skillfully Worked.
The Russian machine guns were used
with great Effect when the Japanese
lines were lighted up by the search
lights, while the fort guns pounded in
the valley. The Japanese artillery was
urfable to fire at this point, as the
Japanese forces were mixed.
The Skillful working of the Russian
star-lights and searchlights were ut
terly unexpected and bewildering.
They never failed to locate the Jap
anese lines, which offered splendid
marks for the Russian rifles and ma
chine guns and rendered the Japanese
machine guns of little use, as they were
located and silenced by quick-firers
before they could do any execution.
The Russians along the whole line
fought in the blackest, darkness and
the Japanese with the most dazzling
light in their faces. The rattle of
musketry, the thundering of the Rus
sian guns, the purring of the machine
guns, the bursting of star-lights, and
the flashing of searchlights along the
whole line was a wonderfully impres
sive sight. The fight lasted contin
uously for six hours, till dawn, when
the outflankers were forced back over
the captured fortified hills, followed by
the Japanese, who despite the fire of
the forts captured the forts and Join
ed their force from the valley. As
the Russian outflankers were driven In,
Keekwan fort fired. The previous day.
under cover of a tremendous bombard
ment, the eastern fortified ridge and
later the east Banjusan fort were set
on fire by Japanese shells and burned
ail day.
The Japanese fleet appeared in the
offing and engaged the Russian sea
ward forts. There was a furious ar
tillery duel during the night and the
center division again ass’aulted East
Banjusan'fort, but was unsuccessful.
The scene during the night, the burst
ing of star-light shells, the flushing of
four powerful searchlights from the
eastern Golden hill fort and Chair hill
forts, the roar of the big guns and
the rattling of musketry presented a
weird and wonderful sight.
Stormed Them Again,
Before dawn on the 22nd the center
division made a third attempt to cap
ture the higher fortified ridge of Ash
hill, the new Bnnjusan forts, on the
higher ridge and the rear fort*. The
Banjusan forts were stormed and cap
tured, the Japanese pursuing the Rus
sians who defended them. Two hun
dred Japanese officers and men were
killed.
With daylight the Japanese artillery
started a terrific bombardment. Every
gun from the Japanese left to the cen
ter concentrated Its fire on the eastern
end of the fortified ridge. As the bom
bardment went on, It increased In vol
ume as the guns from the center and
west Joined In it, and swept the ridge
at the apex of Port Arthur.
The storm of bursting shells lasted
for half an hour, during which time
the awful, concentrated fire swept the
ridge from end to end. Over 400 guns
roe red in rapid succession until the
entire ridge was enveloped in a cloud
of smoke. For the time every Rus
sian fort was silenced. When the
smoke cleared away It was seen that
the left division had advanced through
the captured forts.
During the night of the 24th the
ranks of the Japanese were so deci
mated by Ihe furious shrapnel fire Of
the Russians that they were forced to
retire to the valley below the captured
forts, and what might have been - t
sue essful general assault, with the
<apture of the fortified ridge east of
Port Arthur, was converted by th
Russian tactics Into a repulse, redeem-

DEAD BODY OF GIRL
FOUND IN VACANT LOT.
IS-Yenr-Olil Telephone Operator
YVn* Foully Mnrilereil.
Cincinnati, Nov. 3.—Terribly cut and
crushed about the head, the dead body
of Alma Steinway, a telephone opera
tor, 18 years old, was found to-day
in a vacant lot near Spring Grove
Cemetery at Winston Place, a suburb.
While there are large footprints In
the trtill, where the body was found,
there is no clue to the supposed slayer.
The girl left the telephone office at
Cummtngsville last night and her body
was found in the lot near the ceme
tery this morning. Her head and face
had been horribly crushed with a
club. No other Injuries were found
on the body except the wounds on the
head.
To-nlght Conductor Frank Llmle told
the police that Alma Stetnway got on
his cur fast night at Knowlton Corner,
accompanied by a man. The pair rode
to Wlnton road and got off. He said
the man had frequently ridden with
Miss Steinway. Limle said he could
identify the man.
There Is a striking similarity In the
death of Miss SteimVay and that of
Louise Mueller, whose mutilated body
was found a month ago about half a
mile front where the body of Miss
Steinway was found, and the chief of
detectives is of the opinion that the
same man committed both deeds.
OFFICERS WERE REMISS.

Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 3.—On Aug. 19
last two privates of the Durham Com
pany of the North Carolina National
Guard on top of a train coming front
the encampment at Morehrttd City,

heads struck a low bridge.
A military Inquiry was ordered and
this to-day Issued Its findings, in which
the colonel of the Third Regiment,
J. N. Craig of Reldsville, and all regi
mental and company officers who were
on the train, are held to have been
remiss in the discharge of their duties
in not taking ordinary precaution to
enforce proper discipline.
No court-martial Is probable.
The men killed were drinking and
singing and were on top of the train
without permission.

MARIN ES7)N GUARD.
Will Prevent Threats Made by Ital
ians llelng Tarried Out.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 3.—Extra guards
of marines have been stationed around
the partly constructed $2,000,000 dry
dock at the navy yard, on account of
threats that had been made by Italian
laborers discharged by the J. C. Rod
gers Construction Company, which
has the contract for building the
dock, to wreak vengeance by destroy
ing the buildings of the company.
The trouble has been brewing since
Saturday night when a number of the
Italians, who were brought here from
New York, were laid off. The dis
charged men endeavored to create a
strike and failing In this, made
threats to burn down the buildings
used by the construction company,
which adjoin the partly finished dry
dock.
When the company became aware
of this phase in the trouble the com
mandant of the yard was requested
to put an extra guard on duty, and
now an extra force of marines pa
trols the vicinity of the drydock.
No attempt has been made to carry
out the threats up to this time.
