Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for president, in a speech h . l( , denied that he was an advocate of f. ee trade He said there can not be free trade in the United States so long . t he established fiscal policy of the Federal government is maintained. The Federal government,” said the -overnor "has chosen throughout the ’erations that have preceded us to maintain itself chiefly on indirect in terest of direct taxation. I dare say we f h.ii never see a time when it can alter lh(lt policy in any substantial degree, ri there is no Democrat of prudence, 0 „ thoughtfulness, that I have met who contemplates a program of free trade.” The candidate devoted most of his thought to what has now become known 8S hl? pet theme— special privilege. spoke with more than usual ear nestness and eloquence on this subject anii roused his hearers to a high state of enthusiasm. ln a burst of generous spirit, not al- W avs encountered in candidates. Gov error Wilson declared that he yielded t „ no man in his personal admiration of President Taft. This sentiment elic ited rounds of applause. He also paid R warm tribute to Senator LaFollette, (gain applying to him-the term of "The I utle Giant of Wisconsin”—the candi date declaring that he felt a kindred t<. all thos# in the ranks of pro gressive Democracy, regardless of their In bels In outlining the tariff policy of the Democratic party, Governor Wilson spoke in part as follows: Weed the Garden of Industry. What we intend to do, what the house of representatives has been at tempting to do and will attempt to do again, and succeed, is to weed this garden of industry that we have been cultivating. If we have been laying at the roots of our Industrial enterprises this fertilization of protection we have found that the stimulation was not equal In respect of all the growths in the garden, and that there are some growths which every man can distin guish with the naked eye, which have so overtopped the rest, which have so thrown the rest into destroying Shadow, that it is Impossible for the industries of the United States as a whole to pros per under their desolating obstruction. In other words, we have found out that this that professes to be a process of protection has become a process of favoritism, and that the favorites of this policy have flourished at the ex pense of all the rest. We are going into our garden, therefore, and weed it. We are going to give the little plants air and light in which to grow. We are going to pull up every root that has so spread itself as to draw all t/e nutri ment of the soil from the other plants We are going to see to it that fertiliza tion of intelligence, of invention, of origination, is once more applied to a set of industries now threatening to be stagnant, because threatening to be too much concent rated. That is the policy of the Democratic party in regard to the protective tariff, as I understand it.” About Taft’s Vetoes. In speaking of the present condition of the government. Governor Wilson said that it was neither flesh, fish nor fowl, so far as party control is con cerned. He said that in the senate, a union of Democrats and so-called Re rubiieans have been sending a Repub lican president measures which are consistently vetoed, and arguing, from the hypothesis that the next congress would be progressive, in both the house rnd the senate, he said that it would be f r ' yto have a president that would not move with them, no matter how admfr able his character, or high and patriotic bis purposes.

Howard and Marion Elliott. Allen Moore and Eddie Willbanks, all living in the rep utable neighborhood around Williams and Spring streets, and members of what is known to the lads thereabouts as the "Boston” gang, startled the court by ad mitting to plundering offices in the Aus tell, Grant and Temple Court buildings of typewriters and office supplies. According to the authorities, the youths worked in broad daylight and said they planned their operations to get money to go to moving picture shows. Five typewriters, which have been recovered bv the police, were disposed of for sums ranging from 65 cents to $3. The boys, it is said, marched boldly into the offices during the noon hour, having watched un til the places were deserted, and walked out with the machines. DENEEN IN T. R.’S ‘ffINIMB" Assails Governor for “Willful Perversion of Truth”—Calls Him Lorimer Ally. CHICAGO, Oct. 12. —Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt today assailed Govern or Charles S. Deneen for “deliberate and willful perversion of the truth” in a recent speech in which the governor charged the colonel admitted that only 34 of the contests brought before the Chicago convention were made in good faith. Roosevelt also denounced De neen as a friend and ally of ex-Senator Lorimer. ’ ■ Roosevelt declined to address the Italian societies engaged in the celebra tion of Columbus day, in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus The colonel had been invited by Thomas O’Shaughnessy to take part in the pageant and make an address. Presi dent Brown, of the Knights of Colum bus, objected on the ground that the Knights 'took no part in politics and that O’Shaughnessy was the artist in charge of the pageant, but had no au thority to invite any one o make an address. When he learned the facts, the colonel said he could not consider the invitation. The attack on Governor Deneen was made in a statement issued after a conference with local leaders. The colonel spoke to a crowd jam med around the LaSalle hotel when he arrived from the station. “This fight is the fight of the peo ple." he began. An enormous crowd greeted the colo nel and cheered him as he motored from the station to the hotel. Democratic and the Republican parties, or rather between the Democratic party and those various other groups and parts of parties that are masquerading under all sorts of names, Is that they are willing to accept the discretionary power of individuals, and we are not willing to accept anything except the certainty of law. That is the only thing that has ever afforded salvation or safety.” Governor Wilson affirmed that the problem confronting the American peo ple was not one of revolution, but of readjustment. “And what I want to suggest,” said he, “is that the only basis, the only standard of readjustment, proposed or suggested by our opponents is the standard of principle. The expediency of the situation is merely to see to it that those who receive special privi leges behave themselves, whereas our principle is that nobody ought to re ceive or retain special privileges at all; that every special privilege shall be de stroyed, not with a ruthless hand, not in such a fashion as suddenly to upset the conditions of business, but. never theless. with the firmness and kindness of the judicious parent. For the gov ernment of the United States, at pres ent, is a mere foster child of the special Interests. It Is not allowed to have a will of Its own. It is told at every move, 'Don't do that You will inter fere with our prosperity.’ When we ask. ‘Where is our prosperity lodged?’ a certain group of gentlemen say, 'With us.' People to Be Trusted. "If I thought that the American peo ple were reckless, were Ignorant, were vindictive, do you suppose I would want to put the government in their hands* But the beauty of Democracy Is that when you are reckless you destroy your own established conditions of life: when you are vindictive you reek your vengeance upon yourself, and that the whole stability of Democratic policy rests upon" the fact that each interest Is every man’s interest." After outlining the conditions of mo nopoly which preclude from the field of commerce all small competitors, the candidate said: "I want conditions created which will permit a man to begin business on ever so small a scale and let him be safe in beginning It on a small scale. He Is not safe now. because if ho enters the field where a great combination has established a market, that combination will undersell him in his local market, which is his only market, making Its necessary profits In other parts of the country, until he Is killed off. and en lei prise after enterprise is nipped in its Infancy by the monopolistic control of our Industrial markets.

M. King, a man living near the waterworks, missed a cow valued at $45 shortly afterwards and notified the police. The animal was located at the Union stockyards, where a stockman said that he had bought it from some boys for $lB. The daring downtown operations began September 26 and for days the police were puzzled over the peculiar character of the thefts. The boys were arrested a week ago and have been held at the de tention home in Central avenue, pending further investigation by children’s court authorities. Parents of the boys asserted that they thought they were in school all the time. The lads explained that they had been faking excuses. The "Boston" gang, according to the description given the authorities, is an organization of about 25 or 30 boys mak ing the corner of Simpson and Spring streets their redezvous. No action was taken in the case of young Moore. Willbanks and the Elliotts today. The lads be held until next Saturday RAGTIMEWINS WORLD VICTORY English Press Concludes That What Is Scoffed at Is a Fascinating Craze. LONDON, Oct. 12. —Ragtime music, which some hold first flowed brokenly out from the darkies’ cabins in Amer ica's Southern states, seems about to conquer the world. This music of the syncopated time has already captured England. It has been said truly that “the hard est thing in the world is to persuade a Briton to do anything he never did before and the next hardest is to get him to quit doing that thing after he has once started.” • The Briton scoffed at ragtime for years: now it has become a craze, a passion with him. Most gravely tl ? London newspapers are discussing analyzing this nervous brand of mu sic. Heading them, an American brought up on ragtime has a mental picture of an old man dissecting a butterfly. The London Daily Standard prints a column story, headed “The Psychology of Ragtime,” and gives interviews with many London musicians on the “fas cination of this new and wonderful lilt. America has again turned a trick and the whole busy world is humming its new music, which rushed just as fast as its modern hustling life.” The Daily Mall in a column article on Its editorial page refers to it as “the musical ideal of American life,” and goes on saying: “A craze, a boom if you will, but nevertheless a force in our social life. Every tune is like a live current switched on to the emo tions and, with all its eccentricities and novelties, it contains the virtue of vi tality.” The ability to sing and play ragtime has cost the British army a fine sol dier —Captain Arthur Wood, son of Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood and nephew of Mrs. Charles Stewart Par nell, who was known as Kitty O’Shea before she married the famous Irish leader. The stage has won him from the army. Captain Wood, who has a good voice and plays the piano well, used to revive his fellow officers by singing to them around the camp fires of Colenso and Spion Kop during the Boer war. He accompanies himself on the piano and is loudly applauded. His salary is five or six times the amount he drew as a captain. BECOMES R. R. SUPERINTENDENT. COLUMBUS, GA, Oct. 12.--W. T Griswold, who for several years has been yardmaster, of the Southern rail way in Columbus, has been appointed superintendent of the Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay railroad, with headquar ters in Panama City, Fla. This line extends 82 miles from Panama City to Dothan, Ala. Asa G. Candler, of At lanta, is vice president of the road. makes up its mind to be a generation of masters. The great militant, fight ing. triumphant America the world has known and admired is a nation of offi cers, a nation of men who are their own masters, a nation who will originate their own processes of Industry and of life, and we shall never see the day, I confidently predict, where America will allow itself to be employed and patronized and taken care of.” Must Redeem Our Trust. After declaring that the people of the old world had realized their dreams of liberty in America, mentioning particu larly Hungary and Italy, the governor concluded with the following eloquent words: “We are trustees of the confidence of mankind in liberty. If we do not re deem the trust, if we do not fulfill the pledge, then we are of all nations the most to be pitied, for the -more high your aim, the more disastrous your fail ure to reach It; the more glorious your program, the more contemptible your failure. “Why did we lift this vision of peace before mankind if we did not know the terms on which peace could be realized? Like an army indomitable, irresistible, we have enlisted in such wise that no prolonged night of darkness and extin guished camp firgs can make us the less confident that the morning will dawn, and when the morning dawns and the mists rise, men shall discover their manhood again and put on that armor of the righteousness of God which makes any nation unconquer able ” FITE GRILLED FOR CONTEMPT: ‘DID NOT MEAN IT' Judge Adams, in Powerful Ar raignment, Scores Conduct of Accused Jurist. Judge Augustus W. Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, came to the bar of the court of appeals today, in answer to a rule for contempt, and entered a con fession and plea in evidence. The judge admitted the things the court charged him with saying, but de nied that he meant to be contemptuous in saying them. During the morning session by tai the most impressive feature of the hearing was Judge Samuel B. Adams’ plea in behaif of the court. In that plea he unmercifully scored Fite, charging him with criminal con tempt against the court, and vehement ly protesting his attempt to saddle upon the court of appeals presumption of sympathy for a negro would-be assail ant of a white woman. Judge Adams’ address was listened to amid breathless silence, and evi dently impressed the crowded court room tremendously. Judge Fite listened to it, pale of face and plainly nervous. Fite Late in Appearing. The respondent was not in court at the hour set for a hearing, because of a late train, and postponement was made for one hour and thirty minutes in order that he might be heard in order and in full. Judge Fite was present in court, but responded through his attorneys, T. VV. Milner, George W Gober, Sam P. Mad dox and J. M. Neel. The court, of its own motion, was rep resented by Judge Andrew .1. Cobh and Samuel B. Adams. Judge Fite's newspaper card, to which the.court of appeals took exception, was read in full. The court of appeals, in Its rule against Fite, set up that Fite's newspaper card was contemptuous, and calculated to bring the court into disrepute and to em barrass it and impede it in the adminis tration of justice. A second newspaper article from Judge Fite was then introduced by the court’s attorneys, and which appeared several days after the first card appeared, to show the deliberate intent upon the part of Fite to be disrespectful and contemptu ous. “No Direct Contempt.” Fite’s attorneys, after the introduction of this evidence, asked time to amend their answer to meet it, but this was de nied by the court. Respondent’s counsel argued that there was, at least, no direct contempt of the court, but that it was constructive and indirect, and not a proper case for the court’s indignant attention. It was contended that any man, judge or private, has a right to criticise courts, and that Fite's card was well within that rule —that he had the right as a man to criticise the court through the newspaper, and that he did that, and that only, with in reasonable lines, and that he had dis claimed any intent to be contemptuous or disrespectful In his articles. Adams Grills Fite. Judge Milner insisted that any citizen has the right to criticise any court, save in pending cases, but not to insult it, and that Fite positively denied in his answer all intent to insult. Judge Samuel B. Adams, for the court, contended that the contempt was not only well defined but positive or criminal. He said it was not a question of con tempt against persons, nor was it any thing in the nature of a civil contempt, which was a much less serious offense, and that it was particularly outrageous in that it raised the race issue and the sanctity of womanhood to the prejudice of the court and its malicious embarrass ment. , Judge Adams said that no more repre hensible case of criminal contempt could hardly be Imagined. He denied the con tention of respondent's counsel that, at the time of Fite's contempt, the McCul lough case still was pending in courts, and that the defendant's ease was not legally concluded. Judge Adams quoted numerous rulings of other courts to show that Fite's not only was direct and not constructive, but criminal and subject to the court’s au thority. He said that Fite’s assault upon the court of appeals was particularly vi cious in view of the fact that he himself is a judge and charged above all men, therefore, with maintaining the dignity of the courts. Judge Adams said that no man had a, right to call a court corrupt and dishonest, and then say he "didn’t mean it”--anff that that was all Fite did. Emphasizes Contempt. He particularly emphasized the con tempt of Fite's attempt to raise a pre sumption of sympathy upon the part of the court for a negro assailant of a white woman, and said that was the most in sulting and contemptuous utterance of all Fite said. Judge Adams address was delivered with extreme dignity and listened to is breathless silence by an evidently pro soundly impressed audience. At the conclusion of Judge Adams' ad dress. the court adjourned until 8 o’clocl this afternoon. Retracts “Pitiful.” Judge Fite, in his reply, said that he intended no injustice in not having ihe jury polled, but wanted to expedite mat ters to appease mob passions. Among other things, he said: "It is probable that this honorable court did not recognize, as did your re spondent, the necessity for prompt and immediate action upon the rendition of the verdict, or the existence of such ne cessity as a reason why this respondent overlooked the right in defendant of hav ing the jury In that case polled, if he so desired. It will be recalled that this de cision was quoted at length in the daily papers of the state, with various criti cisms of tlie same, not all of which were calculated to engender in the public mind that respect for your respondent as a court, so essential to every trial court who directly seeks to administer fustice to the litigants in his circuit. “In the decision rendered by this hon orable court, where many assignments of error were made with reference to the charge and the refusal of the court to charge requests, all of the actions of your respondent were approved by this hon orable court, with the exception of allow ing the defendant to poll the jury. “To be specific as possible with refer ence to the article published, respondent refers to rhe following parts, to-wit: Where it is said that the 'reversal' is based upon a pitiful misconception and misconstruction of the record.' the word •pitiful' should not have been used, and the Intention was only to show that the two records in lite same ease being sub stantlally the same the judgment in tin i first ease should control.” PRINCE OF WALES COMING TO 0. S. Heir to Great Britain’s Throne Is Due to Arrive in City of New York in 1914. LONDON, Oct. 12.—1 tis now pretty definitely arranged that the Prince of Wales will visit New York, as his grandfather, King Edward, did when he, too. was Prince of Wales. Should the young prince set foot on American soil he will be the guest of Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who, in New York, entertained the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and their captivating daughter. Princess Patricia. So. of the three women to whose motherly care Queen Mary will have in trusted iter first born, two are Ameri cans. The prince went to Paris as the guest of Marquis De Breuteulle, whose wife was a Miss Garner, of New York. Mrs. Whitelaw Reid will be his host ess in New York. In Ottawa he will be under the ma tronly eye of his grand-aunt, the Duch ess of Connaught, who was Princess Louise Marguerite of Prussia. Brother Coming Too. It was arranged within the last few days that the prince- will visit Canada during 1914. On condition that he goes there, the Duke of Connaught is ready to remain longer as governor general. Accompanying the prince will be his brother, Prince Albert, not yet 17 years of age. It was Queen Alexandra, always so gracious and friendly to Americans, who suggested that the heir to the throne go to New York. Or, as the queen mother expressed it, laughingly: “It would be discourteous for Dave to call next door and not to iirop in on New York.” With all his high sounding titles, the Prince of Wales is "Dave” in the inti macy of his family. Queen Alexandra thinks he should have a free foot; she strongly disap proves of tlie almost puritanical strict ness his mother exercises over him. He is a chap of 18, agile and pleasant look ing, but very young for his years. His favorite adjectives are “awfully’’ and “jolly,” often in con-junctiop.

Mrs. Harrison, a pretty little woman, is well knoyvn In society; her father, Henry Davies, has a villa at Naples, where many Americans have enjoyed his hospitality. Major Harrison, who was devoted to his wife, is in the depths of grief and shame. The fact that their majesties should so punish a government official is caus ing agitation.
