of Republicans In Speech of Accept

In the presence or V. J. Bryan.
Itic head of the Democratic party In
this nation, the leaders and many of
tlio notables of tlint party, and n large
and entlitiBlaBtlr audience, John V
pr8,,,onc. ,,v thc Democratic party.
The exercises wpre held In the state
fair grounds The addinss formally
notifying Mr Kern of his selection as
the running mnte of Mr Hrun was
made by Theodore A Hell of Callfor-
JOHN W. KEIIN
nla, who was temporary chairman of
the Denver convention and 'who spoke
for the notification committee
When Mr Kern arose to acknowl
edge the high honor accorded him by
his party he was glvun on ovation
only slightly lets demonstrative thun
that which later was given Mr Dryan
when the latter arose to conclude tho
day'b program with his long-awaited
address on "Trusts" Mr Kern faced
an audience largely made up of "honrj
folks ' people of Indiana who know
him and who believe In hltn, and who
were apparently glad of the oppor
tunity thus presented to voice their
regard for him
8ummary of Kern't Speech.
After felicitously acknowledging
the honor that had been conferred
upon him by the Denver convention
and expressing his pleasure and satis
faction In being associated' with Mr
Bryan on the ticket, Mr Kern arraign
ed the Republican pnrty for what ho
alleged wa the establishment of a
"parliamentary condition In the inter
est of monopoly, under which the sole
power to determine whether a meas
ure should hf allowed to become a law
or not was lodged In the speaker" of
tho house of representatives citing a
number of eaie3 In support of his con
tentlon. The principal part of his ad
dress was devoted to tho tariff, as fol
io wh:
"The question of tariff taxation is
one of vital Interest, f am In hearty
accord with our platform declarations
ou that subject. The Republican can
dldate for vice president in his speech
of acceptance lauded the Dlngley bill,
and declared that when enacted it was
well adapted to existing conditions,
but proceeded to add 'that the develop
ments of Industrial prosperity In a
decade which, in volume and degree
have surpassed our most roseate ex
pectations, have bo altered conditions
that In certain details of schedules
they no longer In every particular
mete out Justice to all ' For these
reasons he declared In favor of a re
adjustment, 'based on the broad prin
ciples of protection for all American
Interests, alike for labor and capital,
for producers and consumers ' The
hundreds of thousands of American
worklngmen who are now vainly seek
ing employment were doubtless de
lighted when they read about that 'In
dustrial prosperity' which so 'sur
passed our most roseate expectations.'
In thousands of American homes fain
llles will gather about dinner tables
which for many months have not been
encumbered with a beefsteak, and In
dulge In 'roseate expectations' of their
own.
Sarcasm for "Roseate Expectations."
"Atnerlcun manufacturers, whose
factories are Idle liy reason of a re
stricted market, and those whose busi
ness has been crippled by reason of
the high tariff tax on raw materials,
will read this speech with peculiar
satisfaction If by reason of the high
tariff tax provided for in the Dlngley
bill, factories were opened, and labor
given employment at remunerative
wages, and our 'roseate expectations'
realized, why should ho miw, when fac
tories are closed, and an army of men
unemployed, seek to revue mat benefi
cent measure at all?
"It the wages of labor depend upon
a high tariff, why should anv man fa
vor a reduction of that tariff' If,
after eleven years of surpassing pros
perity, brought about by the Dlnglev
bill, business languishes, and labor
suffers, why not excite some more
'roseate expectations' by raising the
tariff rates, to the end that there may
he a much needed revival of business,
and that labor may again find employ
ment."

Mystery Believed Solved by Ar
rest of W. G. Fitzgerald
Former Assorting Teller In United
States Subtreaupry at Chicago la
Taken into Custody Had Been
Long Under Suspicion.
The mystery of the theft of
'$17.1,000 1 1 oni the United States sub
treusury in Chicago a year and a half
ugo. one of the largest losses the gov
ernment has ever suffered In this
manner, Is believed to have been
solved by the arrest of Oeorge V.
Fitzgerald. Others are believed to
have been implicated in the crime,
which for months completely baffled
government secret service men.
The theft denied a sensation
throughout the country and congress
at the Inst session was asked and re
fused to release Assistant Treasurer
Roldenweck from liability, although It
was promised that congress would
again consider the matter at its next
session.
Fitzgerald was an assorting teller
under Assistant United Stntca Treas
urer Roldenweck Suspicion at tho
time of the theft. Feb. 20. 1907, rested
ou him, but so plausible was his story
and so Intense his apparent Interest
lu discovering tho real culprit that
Interest ceased to center In him.
Meanwhile Fitzgerald was discharged
from the government "in ploy for cul
pable negligence for allowing such a
theft to be consummated under his
very eyes The money stolen bud been
used and was tied Irr packages, some
of which having been marked for de
struction at Washington Any of them
would readily have passed auywheie
except for their large denominations.
None of the bills was under $500 and
some were of the $1,000 and $5,000 de
nominations, the $1,000 ones predomi
nating Speculated on Large Scale.
Meanwhile Herbert F. Young, a
former Chicago newspaper reporter,
became Interested fn the case, at first
without official connection, but later
as the agent of Mr. Roldenweck. Mr.
Young's attention was redirected to
Fitzgerald. The latter, upon his dis
charge from the subtreasury, stated
that his whole fortune consisted of
$600 In ensh and a stock certificate
for $1,000. Fitzgerald, however, ac
cording to Mr. Young, embarked In
speculation on a scale not consistent
with the size of his reputed means
There was, however, no ostentation In
Fitzgerald's life. The lavish display
which detectives Invariably look for
in tracing stolen funds was absent.
Fitzgerald bought eggs for speculation
and stored them. In July, 1907, he In
augurated an egg deal which involved
an expenditure of $7,000 and the fol
lowing March a similar deal Involved
him to the extent of $15,000. Incident
ally he had becomo the possessor In
his wife's name of a neat brick resi
dence In Roger's Park, valued at $8,
5u. Mr. Young declared that this
purchase was made In a roundabout
way, passing through several hands
and finally Into those of Mrs. Fitzger
ald for a consideration of $1.
Last July the scent is said to have
become hot, when Colonel Hurry C
Oano, superintendent of William A
Rooth & Co., u business man of prom
inence and public spirit,, reported to
Roldenweck that Fitzgerald had ap
proached him with a proposition to
pass several $1,000 hills.
"With your big business connec
tions." Fitzgerald Is alleged to have
argued to Colonel Oano, "you can
easily pass them. There's $500 in It
for you."
Caught With the Goods.
Gano is reported to have declared
that he had a roll of similar bills
"that would choke a horse."
Arter conferring with Mr. Bolden
week. Gano continued negotiations
with Fitzgerald, with the result that
by prearrangement, Detective Young
lays, several witnesses were secretly
present when the former teller pro
posed to pass two $1,000 bills to Gano
"I will bring two," Fitzgerald Is al
leged to have said, "for you can get
rid or two Just as well as one."
From the moment of Gano's first In
terview with the assistant United
Slata treasurer, It is said Young or
fcome of his men shadowed Fitzgerald
The trail, it is Intimated broadly, in
volved others, not only In helping
Fitzgerald to dispose of tho money al
leged to have been stolen, hut In the
very act of his having extracted It
from the treasury vaults and in the
later covering of his tracks. Who
these persons were those working on
the case state they are not yet pre
pared to divulge.
Hughes Is Man for Ticket.
Announcement was made by James
S. Sherman, Republican candidate for
vice president, confirming the Asso
elated Press dispatch from Oyster Ray
that President Roosevelt's conference
with party loaders at Sagamore Hill
had developed that political exigencies
demand the renomlnatlon of Governor
Hughes Chairman Hitchcock was
