TEDDY TAKES FAREWELL FLING AT WILSON Assails Governor for Alleged Failure to Curb the Trusts “When He Had Chance.” STANDARD OIL IS CITED AS ONE JERSEY LAWBREAKER Mooser Says State Amendment Would Have Curtailed Pow ers of Such Monopolies. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt today fired his final big gun at Governor Woodrow Wilson. He bitterly assailed Governor Wilson's at titude on the trust question, and ac cused the New Jersey candidate of failing to act while he had the oppor tunity to amend the New Jersey trust laws. Swinging from his attack upon Gov ernor Wilson, the colonel rapped both the Democrats and Republicans for their tariff program and made a final appeal to people of all classes to sup port the Progressive ticket at thd polls next Tuesday. The heaviest part of the assault fell upon Governor Wilson. After point ing that the governor had the. New Jersey legislature with him, the col onel said: "He (Governor Wilson) has had am ple opportunity and he himself has de clared it was his duty to proceed against the trusts by legislative act.” Says Wilson Never Tried to Control Trusts. The colonel quoted from speeches by Governor Wilson to show that the lat ter stood by state control rather than national control of monopolies. He added that Governor Wilson never tried to get through the legislature of New Jersey measures to solve the problem of monopolistic control. "Even after members of the legisla ture at Trenton endeavored to secure the necessary legislation,” declared Colonel Roosevelt, "Governor Wilson declined to give the legislature a lead and declined to lift a finger in their aid.” The colonel then propounded four questions to Governor W ilson. These were: 1. Is it not a fact that the laws of a state under which a corporation is organized prescribe its power? 2. Are not all the powers of the Standard Oil and similar monopolies conferred by the laws of New Jersey? 8. Could not these powers have been curtailed by amendments? 4. Why has not Mr. Wilson recom mended such amendments? Trusts Not Aiding Him, He Declares. The colonel denied that the trusts were supporting the Progressive tick et. He declared that the Standard Oil and other huge corporations are bitter in their opposition to the Progressive ticket. All trusts, he charged, are work ing for the old parties, either for the Democratic ticket or the Republican ticket. According to the writer. President Taft’s trust solution is about as bad as Governor Wilson's. Colonel Roosevelt then outlined the Progressive program for corporation control, saying that the Progressive platform calls for a commission sim ilar to the interstate commerce com mission with wide powers vested in It for regulation of "big business.” That, he says, "will keep the eggs from being scrambled.” As to the tariff the Progressive lead er charges that “it is the purpose of both old parties to cling to the old vicious methods.” "We,” he says, "purpose to reduce xcessive duties while maintaining the principle of protection.” 150 Congressmen And Tgft at Burial NEW YGRK, Nov. 2.—Accompanied by 150 members of congress, members of the Republican national committee and other distinguished persons, Presi dent Taft left New York for Utica at 8:30 o'clock on a special train provid ed for the mourners for Vice President Sherman's funeral. It war expected that extended con ferences between the Republican lead ers attending the funeral would result in the selection of a running mate for President Taft on the national ticket before night.

GRISISNEAH IN FIGHT TO SAVE TURK CAPITAL Sultan’s Troops and Bulgarians in Death Struggle, Most Decisive of War. ALLIES’ LOSSES REPORTED HEAVY IN FINAL CHARGE Chief of Ottoman Forces De clares He Has Checked the Onrushing Foes. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2.—No news came this morning from the bat tle line in Thrace, where the Sultan's demoralized troops are making a final stand against the Bulgarians, with the Turkish capital and, perhaps, the Otto man empire the stake. For four days ancL. four nights the death struggle has been waged almost incessantly, and it is believed the crisis is near. Some idea of the desperate nature of the fighting is gathered from the fact that more than 5,000 wounded soldiers arrived in Constantinople to day from the front. Fortunately, a majority of the bullets drilled clean holes in their victims, and these will heal rapidly. A batch of deserters ar rived with the wounded. Indignation and surprise were ex pressed here over the fact that a Greek torpedo boat had succeeded in enter ing the Gulf of Salonika, despite the mines and heavily armed forts and blown up the Turkish battleship Fet 1-bulend. The commandant of the forts will be called to account for permitting this Greek incursion. Measures Taken To Keep City Orderly. The movement of troops to the front continue. Among the measures the government already has in min to in sure order in the capital in event of further Turkish reverses is the dis patch of an army division to stop all fugitive soldiers between Tchatalja and Constantinople. The city, however, at present,- is tranquil and orderly. The Turkish army have recaptured the town of Bunarhissar from the Bul garians, and also has defeated the Bul garians in the vicinity of Visa, accord ingto dispatches received here this morning from Nazim Pasha, command er-in-chief of the Turkish forces. Nazim’s dispatches declare the Bul garian losses were heavy’, and that all the Turkish army corps have now been ordered to advance. DOUGLAS TO HAVE $25,000 PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING DOUGLAS. GA..
