Taking Auto From Garage More
Trouble Feared.
Pottsvtlle, Pa., May 9 In a battle
between the state police and a crowd
estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000
men at Minersville, four men are
known to have been shot and three
were probably fatally wounded. It Is
believed that a dozen or more others
also were struck by bullets.
A woman, Mrs. George Woll, who
was standing on her porch listening,
was struck on the arm by a brick and
was painfully injured. The men who
are thought to have been fatally hurt
are David Davis, shot through the
stomach, and two foreigners. Another
foreigner was shot through the leg and
was seriously wounded.
The fight occurred on Fourth street,
in the central part of town and came
as a result of a crowd attempting to
prevent Superintendent George W.
Reiser of the Pine Hill Coal company
trom taking two men in his automo
bile to the colliery. Reiser had been
coming to Minersville the last several
days and taking Thomas Parry, a re
pairman, and William Ward, a pump
man, to work. When Reiser called at
a garago for his machine he was
warned by a crowd not to take It out
and was held a prisoner at the place.
Crowd Throws Bricks.
Chief Burgess Richard Levan, a
veteran of the Civil war, addressed
the crowd and demanded that they dis

him. He thereupon requested the

Predecessor Deliberately Misrepre

Coir.:ibus, O., May 9. President
Talt charged here in a speech iu Me
mo: ii hull that Colonel Theodore
Ho:. ;"ve'.t, his campaign manager, Sen
ator i.Mxon uf Montana, and Demo
crats mi the senate were responsible
lor tlu "eir.asLiiiation" of the arbitra-
t.on treaties with Grout Britain and
if'raiire pnd that iu consequence o:
their actlcu the pacts so changed as to
be of doubtful utility. Tlie.-ie treaties,
the president declared, would have
made "wide steps toward universal
peace; would have signalized a move
ment for a universal arbitral court
and wero as progressive measures as
ever were suggested to the American
people.
For some reason unknown to my
puzzlo-witted brain," said the presi
dent, "Mr. Roosevelt opposed these
treaties, and ny these men who sup
ported that opposition, his manager,
Mr. Dixon, and the Democratic votes
iu the senate those treaties were so
emasculated that it Is difficult to see
whether they contain anything of
value which ought to be ratified Into a
treaty. My Idea of having the highest
progress possible was In those arbitra
tion treaties, because I saw In them a
step toward a universal arbitral court
to which any nation In the world
might resort In order to solve a contro
versy that It might have with any oth
er nation and until we get such a
court, war will not disappear, and this
was a decided step toward that end,
as progressive a measure as has ever
been "uggested to the America) poo
pie."
Says Roosevelt Misrepresents Him..
Mr. Tift's Memorial hall address
was the last scheduled for his present
tour through his home state. He con
tlnuert his attack on Colonel Roose
velt, taking up more than a dozen sub
jects that Mr. Roosevelt has referred
to In his speeches against the presi
dent. Mr. Taft openly accused Mr.
Roosevelt of m'sreuresentatlon and
misstatement; said that In many c
tlous for which his predecessor now
criticised hlra he had been Influenced
bv Mr. Roosevelt's advice and asked
the people of Ohio to give him
square deal.
The president dwelt at length on the
RooB'svelt cnarges that he was the
friend of the bost and the tool of the
trusts and peclal Interests. He point
cd out the failure of the Roosevelt ad
ministration to prosecute the steel
trust and the harvester trust and con
trasted that with the attitude or his
own rulrnlnUtratlon which has filed
ults agnlnst both. Although he care
fully explained that he did not wish
to charge Roosevelt with anything Im
proper, the president reviewed In some
detail the circumstances under which
the Roosevelt administration decided
not to Institute proceedings against
these trusts or against any of the
"Morgan Interests." The president
aid that George W. Perkins, "a di
rector of the harvester trust and the
steel trust," was Instrumental In pre
venting the prosecutions In the Roose
velt days, and then went on to say:
"Mr. Perkins Is one of the chief con
tributors to Mr. Roosevelt's present
financial fund. Now I want to ask you
what do you think Mr. Roosevelt
would say of me If I had not prose
cuted the steel trust and the harvester
trust and It appeared subsequently
that Mr. Perkins was a large contrib
utor to a special fund expended for my
use. Well, what does he do on the
face of that? He charges me with be
ing In control of the special interests,
with these facts staring htm In the
face. I don't Infer from these facts
anything improper, but I do say to
him who Is so prolific in his sugges
tion of suspicion and so easy In his
charges of Improper motives that for
him now, with the evidence before the
public, to charge me with being an
agent of the special Interests, takes
the audacious courage I still believe
him to have."
Replying to the statement that the
decrees of the supreme court in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases were really of benefit to those
trusts and that the Taft administra
tion's prosecution of them had been
Ineffectual because oil had gone up
and the stock of both companies hnd
gone up, President Taft told why he
believed these resulted from natural
economic causes.

$50,000,000 LOSSES
FROM RIVER FLOODS
And Certain That Damage Ac

Washington, May 9. Fifty million
of loss already done; millions more 1
prospect
Thls la the view government et-
perts take of the flood danger In the
Mississippi river valley, to say nothing
of the loss of life.
Department of agriculture experts
estimate that the loss of farm Crop
and agricultural property has probably
reached the $50,000,000 mark and mar
Anally double that num. The damage
to the cotton crop alone Is stupendous.
To furnish food for the thousands
of homeless people who have been ren
dered temporarily destitute, the war
department has already expended
$600,000. This represents the actual
amount spent since the river and Its
tributaries first went on a rampage,
less than a month ago. The present
prospect Is that It will be at least
month before conditions are normal,
and If this proves the case, depart
ment officials believe they will need
about $700,000 more to care for flood
sufferers.
