Harbor, a wealthy charitable institu
tion on Staten Island; the Lorillard

that as> soon as he received notice of
the character of his tenants he imme
diately began dlspossessory proceed
ings. but was unable to get rid of them.

property- for less than its value to Felix

William Funk, of Philadelphia," Mr.
Levy- said.
Other owners named are L. Napoleon
Levy, who Is a brother of Congressman
Levy; the Clarence Pell estate; the
United States Trust Company, the

Dens Still Running.

that despite the avalanche of public
opinion and the drastic investigations
under way, more than a third of the
gambling houses of the first dimension
in this city are still open and doing
business. This newspaper even gave
the street addresses of the establish
ments. The aldermanfc committee ap
pointed to Investigate municipal cor
ruption held a meeting in city hall to
day and adopted a plan of procedure.
The district attorney’s office received

FALSE WITNESS BORNE
AGAINST TAFT BY T, R„
SAYS CHARLES D. HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 28.—" Thou shalt
pot bear false witness against thy
neighbor." This is one of the Ten Com
mandments The necessity for announc
ing this once well known fact grows
out of the obvious’ purpose of a cer
tain new political party so strenuously
to iterate and reiterate the eighth com
mandment, “Thou.shalt not steal,” as
to obscure the fact that there are-nine
others and even to create the impres
sion that the bearing of false witness
is not a fault but a virtue when com
mitted by Third Term party leaders.
But thei’e are those who regard viola
tion of the ninth as even more culpa
ble than violation of the eighth, as is
exemplified by Shakespeare's reference
to the theft of a good name.
Foundation of New Party.
The Third Term party is founded on
violations of the ninth commandment,
and its even partial success is wholly
dependent on the ability of its leaders
to gain believers to its "false witness."
Its promoters from the time of its con
ception have had as their entire stock
in trade the misrepresentation of Pres
ident Taft and his administration, «and
have never hesitated to bear false wit
ness against him. Even the iteration
of the eighth commandment is made
apropos only by violation of the ninth.
The only occasion for shouting "Thou
shalt not steal" is the false testimony
of the Third Termers regarding the set
tlement of the contests in the Republi
can convention.
The Third Term candidate and his
sycophantic satellites have never miss
ed an opportunity to bear false witness
against President Taft. They began
with misrepresenting his attitude to
ward conservation. They have followed
it with misrepresentation of his atti
tude toward the tariff, toward railway
rate legislation, toward the trusts, to
ward the bosses, toward monetary leg
islation. toward Canadian reciprocity,
and, indeed, toward every public policy
with which President Taft has had to
deal.
Kellogg Quoted in Proof.
One of the latest and most striking
evidences of its misrepresentation is
afforded by the Third Term candidate’s
reiterated declarations regarding Pres
ident Taft's prosecution of the trusts
under the Sherman law.
"M e broke up the railroad combina
tion in the Northern Securities ease,
and there is no parallel between it and
the Standard Oil case, and Mr. Wicker
sham knows it perfectly well,” and
again, "The policy which received its
highest expression in the final action,
taken with Mr. Wickersham’s approval,
in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases
is one of make-believe strangling. It
is preposterous from every point of
view," Mr. Roosevelt has said\ and yet
CUBAN ASSAILANT OF
AMERICAN OFFICIAL IS
FREED WITHOUT BAIL
HAVANA. Aug. 28.—Notwithstanding
the fact that the Cuban law holds an
assault upon a foreign diplomat to be a
felony, Enrique Maza, the Cuban re
porter who assaulted Hugh S. Gibson,
the charge d'affaires of the American
legation, here last night, was today
released on his own recognizance.
Following the assault, which took
place In a hotel, Maza was locked up.
Upon being arraigned today before the
police judge, he demanded his liberty,
and his request was at once granted.
It is understood Mr. Gibson will lodge
formal protest against the case being
heard before a police judge. The Cuban
reporter’s anger had been aroused be
cause he had been proscribed from the
United States legation quarters for
falsely quoting Mr. Gibson on a matter
relating to the intercourse between the
United States and Cuban governments. I

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 28. 1912.
when he said that he knew that'Frank
B. Kellogg, his chief supporter on the
Republican national committee, the
most competent lawyer in the Bull
Moose party today and the man whom
he selected* to conduct the prosecution
of the Northern Securities Company,
had written, in The Review of Reviews
of June. 1912, of the Standard Oil de
cision, that it "accomplished everything
that it is possible to accomplish under
the Sherman act.” and that "the decree
went further than any decision haseever
gone it® any court under the Sherman
act.”
T. R. Avoids After-Story.
Again. Mr. Roosevelt has repeatedly
pointed to the fact that after final de
cision in the Standard Oil case the price
of its securities advanced—that is. the
securities of the various companies
which had been in the trust—and on
this fact has based his assertion that
the trust policy of the Taft adnlinistra
tion "benefits the big crooked business
concerns." But all the time Mr. Roose
velt has sedulously avoided any refer
ence to the fact that following his
breaking up of the Northern Securities
combination the Union Pacific sold the
Northern Pacific stocks it had * been
compelled to take back at a profit of
$63,000,000, while the shares of the
Great Northern, which had also been
in the trust, also advanced rapidly In
value. When It comes to stealing the
good name of a former friend and a po
litical opponent. the commandment,
"Thou shlat not steal,” evidently has
no force with the third term candidate.
Good and Bad Trusts.
Senator LaFollette, who is not a par
tisan supporter of President Taft, told
the senate, on August 16, that "on the
day that Theodore Roosevelt was made
president of the United States there
were 149 trusts and combinations in the
United States. When he turned the
government over to William H. Taft
there were 10.020 great trusts and com
binations.” And he might truthfully
have added that during the administra
tion of President Taft not one great
trust has been formed. When asked
which of the 10,000 trusts were "good
trusts,” Mr. LaFollette replied:
“I have no way to differentiate, be
cause none of the trusts are my friends.
If any of them were supporting my
propaganda. I suppose I would be hu
man enough to call them 'good trusts.'
I have no George W. Perkins and no
Munsey supporting me."
"Why were so many trusts organized
during the Roosevelt administration?
Read the answer In the immunity from
prosecution which President Roosevelt
granted to the "good trusts." owned in
a large part and operated in large part
by his friend, George W. Perkins.
The third term candidate is basing
his whole hope for success on his abili
ty to deceive the American people re
garding the facts. Can he get away
with it?

THREAT TO FIGHT
MAJOR NfGREGOR
Nineteenth Senatorial Conven
tion May Refuse to Ratify
Hfs Nomination.
GREENSBORO. GA.. Aug. 28.—Major
Charles E. McGregor, of Warren coun
ty. who was nominated in the primary
last Wednesday for state senator from
the Nineteenth district, comprised of
Greene. Taliaferro and Warren coun
ties. is somewhat exorcised over a ru
mor that an effort will be made at the
district convention, to be held at Craw
fordville on September 4, to refuse to
ratify his nomination because he op
posed Thomas W. Hardwick, of Wash
ington county, for Congress from the
Tenth district.
While the move is not gaining any
amount of favor in this county, it is
possible that a fight will be made in
the convention In such a case, each
county has two votes, and Greene and
Taliaferro could control tlfe nomina
tion.
The delegates from Greene county to
the senatorial convention have not been
named by the county executive com
mittee. Editor James C. Williams, of
Greensboro, is the district executive
committeeman from Greene.

BARTLETT-WISE RESULT
TO BE DECLARED FRIDAY
MACON, GA.. Aug. 28.—The Sixth
district congressional convention will
be held at Barnesville Friday for the
purpose of declaring the nominee of
the recent primary, who, on the face of
the returns, is Representative C. b.
Bartlett, by a plurality of about 200.
Judge Bartlett has appointed his dele
gates from each of the twelve counties,
and thus the convention will be unani
mous for him. In view of this fact. It
is not expected that Candidate J. Wal
ter Wise will press his claim for a re
count in certain counties.
Judge Bartlett has appointed a total
of 200 delegates to represent him at the
convention, the plurality rule entitling
him to name the delegates even from
the counties carried by his opponent.
