Add rns on Trust Decision.
At the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
President Taft said:
"My Fellow Citizens: t propose to taks
up the question which has occupied the
attention of the American, people for now
twenty years, that of industrial combina
tion known as "trusts." During the last
year we have had two great decision by
the supreme court of the United States.
They are epoch making, and the publlo
tas not yet come to realize the effect that
those decision are certain .tO have. It
Is not that the construction which the
court hsa put upon the act Is different
frcm that which most members of ths
profession, and most subordinate court,
and Indeed the supreme court ttelf. had
before indicated an the 'proper construe
tlon of the statute; but it Is that It 1
now finally settled, by two fully con
sidered decisions In respect to two of
the largest and moat powerful of these
combinations, what their Illegality con
sists In. and how they are to be treated.
In view of the finding that they are
Illegal and do violate the provisions of
the so-called anti-trust or Sherman act
"Persons who do not understand the
effect of these decisions and ' really do
net understand the law' have a great
deal to say which Is Intended to lead the
public to the belief that In some way or
other the supreme court has emasculated
the statute and prevented Its operation
against objectionable and injurious trade
combination and, conspiracies. Nothing
la further from the truth.

ease. Congressman Madison had not been in
good health for a year, being a sufferer
from stomach trouble,' but at no time
had his condition been alarming. During
the recent session of congress he took
an active part In the reciprocity debates.
He was a member of the labor commit
tee. He was also a member of the spe
cial committee, which Investigated Beo
retary Bellinger ef the Interior depart

drawn v him when on September ,7,
1910. while the BaHlnger-yinehor'rnvrestl-gatlng
committee was in session In Min

Perhaps Foreigners
Are Safe in Cheng Tu
PEKING, Sept. 18 The British con
sul here today received a dispatch from
Cheng Tu, dated September 13, reading: ,
"Foreigners have not been molested and
are being treated civilly. There has been
no fighting within the city since Sep
tember T. but there have been several en
gagements outside the wall's, the Insur
gents losing considerable and the loyal
troops Inconsiderable.
Apparently the proclamation Issued by
General Chao-Erh-Feog has not been
heeded. Dispatches to the . French and
German legations from Cheng Tu. dated
respectively, September 10 and 11. in
dicated that the commander of the troop
at the capital of Sze Chuen had at
tempted to consulate the besieging forces
by promising not to decapitate the lead
ers of the anti-railway movement and of
fering to Indemnify the families of In
surgents who have been killed.

now In force in this fetate In regard to
the financial rights of a married woman
might very well have been made up of
women," Mld-.vlr. Martin, "because It
could not have given her greater advant
ages." '
Has Rights of a Man,
"Under these present laws a married
woman right may be divided under four
heads. First, she was a right to own
property absolutely in her ow n name as
much as a man. Second, the can contract
with regard to that property and the
contract holds good only to her separate
estate. Right here is one of the woman's
greatest advantages. Her note or con
tract is good only for the seperate estate
which she possesses at the time of miking
the contract or note and anything -she
may acquire after that is exempt. A man
cannot exempt property on any ' such
plea and there la -no reason- why 'a
woman should be allowed to; A 'Judgment
cannot be , enforced against a -married
woman on anything she has acquired
after . signing, of tut paper upon whioh
suit 1 brought, no matter If she has in
herited a., million. Sixty er cent .of cases
brought against married women on note
have been lost because the women did
not specify in the note that It was a
liability only against her own separate
estate, and that she herself and not her
husband received th consideration.
"The other two rights which a married
woman has and should have are the
right to buy and sell in her own name
and sue or be sued in her own name.
"The laws, however, are not equable
and the bankers ought to favor a revi
sion that would put women one a more
reasonable basis." v
Fred E, Farneworth of New York, gen
eral secretary of the National Bankers'
association, dewlt upon the inception, the
growth and the great benefits that have
been derived by the members by rMon

cipal among which is the protective de
partment, which is represented by the
W. J. Burns National Detective agency

Treacherous Criminals.
Speaking of forgers, the most treach
erous criminals bankers have to deal
with. Mr. Farnsworth said:
"In New York, forgers have been very
active recently. They have been pre
senting forged checks to several banks
for amounts ranging as high aa S5.000.
The checks are made, as a rule, paya
ble to a responsible banking or express
company, and merely ask that the checks
be certified, which has been done in sev
eral cases Then they go to the private
banking firm or the express company
and get cash for part of the check, and
lettars-of-credlt or travelers' checks for
the balance, which they afterwarda get
cashed. The checks are drawn on large
Institutions and axe not discovered until
the bank books are balanced, which la
usually once a month.
"There- Is another form of forgery go
ing on at the present time, by the open
ing of an account on what purports to
be a certified check or cashier's check.
The party opening an account In this
manner should not be allowed to draw
against it until a ret urn has been made.
Tbese checks are generally drawn on
an outside city which requires some time
for transmission. The party opening the
account does not. as a rule, ask for any '
advance, but calls a few days later and
draws a check against the account. Pay
ment haa been mad In several Instances,
and it Is later discovered that the certifi
cation on the check Is a forgery.
On Peculiar M ill.
Virgil M. Harris, trust officer of the
Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis
delivered an entertaining as well as an
Instructive addres3 on wills. He called
especial attention to the masculine na
ture which exhibits itself In making wills.
"I refer to the almost invariable disposi
tion on the part of husbands to restrain
the remarriage of their widows; in
stances where wives are so Inclined are
exceedingly few; and tn thl connection
It te exceedingly pleasing to note that
the unfair and unjust treatment with
reference to their property rights " Is
being supplanted by a more liberal policy
by the law making bodies of the United
States." Mr. Harris recounted many In
stance of peculiar wills, one' of which
waa regarding the antipathy of an Eng

Head-On Into Hickory Tree.
MACHINE IS A COMPLETE WRECK
Aviator's Life Is tired by Reason of
Becoming Tangled Is In the
Wings' This Breaking!
fsrrc of Fall.
MIDDLETOVFN. N. Y., Sept. 18 -In at.
tempting to resume his flight to the Pa
cific coast this morning, C. P. Rodgers
crashed Into a tree and fell . with his
aeroplane thirty-five feet to the ground.
The aUman .received scalp wounds, not
serious, but his machine was wrecked so
badly that he probably will be unable to
fly until tomorrow. -
Rodgers stuck to his seat during the
plunge, but was thrown out when the
machine hit the ground and .caught un
der one of the wings, Just escaping be
ing crushed to death by the heavy en
gine. At first it was thought he was badly
hurt, but after the physician nad dressed
hia wounds he went back to the scene of
the accident and worked with his helpers
ascertaining the amount of the damage.
Aftur the first inspection.- he aid, that if
the engine could be repaired the other
broken parts ctiuld be supplied from du
plicates in his special train. If obliged to
send back to New York for another en
gine he did not know how long be might
be delayed. In any event he had no ex
pectation of. getting away again before
tomorrow morning.
Want to Create New Record,
The trans-continental racer rose before
daylight today, lrn lending, if possible, to
create a new distance record for one
day a flight. He left the ground at 6:15.
Although there was little wind he failed
to get a good start and nearly struck
the four-foot, stone, wall surrounding the
pleasure grounds from where he started.
The nat a height of twenty feet cne
of hia planes struck the limb of a wil
low tree. This threw him out of his
course and he crashed full speed Into a
big hickory Just beyond.
The branches or the tree partly broke
the force of his fall, but the machine
came down so hard head-on that the en
gine waa partly buried In the soft ground.
Rodgera was pulled out from under his
plane still smoking a cigar he lit Just
before the start. He waa asisted to his
special train, which stood waiting nearby
with steam up, ready to accompany him
on' today's Journey over the Erie rail
road. Rogers landed here at 6:18 o'clock yes
terday evening, after making bis first
day's flight from Sheepshead Bay, about
eighty mllea. In one hour and fifty-three
minutes. If all went well he had hoped
by Tuesday tg pass his competitor, James
J. Ward, who is delayed at Oswego, N.
by an accident last Saturday.
Rodgers said the investigation showed
that every part of the machine was
wrecked, excepting the radiator and one
gasolene tank.
Apparently Rodgera will not he able to
make another start before Wednesday
morning. ' ,
Realising the hopelessness of his ma
chine Rodgers said he would return to
New York this evening and make another
start in a new aeroplane.
Ward Makes Getaway
and Flies Westward
08WEGO, N. Y. Sept. IS With his
new engine working splendidly James J.
Ward, the young coast to coast flyer,
made a successful getaway from here at
10.13 today. Just before leaving he was In
formed of Rodgers mishap this morning.
"That's tough luck," said Ward. "I
know Just how he feels."
Ward quickly got his bearings and
headed west, following the Erie tracks.
Ward expects to reach Bradford tonight.
"If I have good luck I won't stop until
I reach Jiornell." Ward said aa he waved
the signal to start.
CORNING. N. Y.. Sept. ' IS Ward ar
rived here at 11:31 thl morning, landing
gracefully In a field north of this city.
He remained for luncheon.
Ward's landing at Corning was due to
the blowing out of an oil feed connection
while he was directly over the city, which
allowed all of his lubricating oil to
escape and badly burned his engine. He
may resume hi Tight later this after
noon. He left Oswego at 10:48, landing
here at 1:31. making the fifty-six miles

LIKES DRAWNJN CANADA
Big Clash . Over Reciprocity Will
Take Place Thursday.
EACH ELBE VERY CONFIDENT
Premier 1. Barter Returns to Ottawa
In Hlich plrls, More and More
Assured of Victory of
Great tnnr.
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 13. The lines
were tightened In the political contest
last week and organizations perfected,
preparatory to the final clash Thursday
In the big battle over reciprocity. The
Indications are that an enormous vote
will be polled and that eighteen of the
twenty-sevent seata In the west will go
to the government and nine to the opposi
tion. Outside of Winnipeg Interest centera on
three seats where former Canadian Fa
eiflc railway solicitors are running as
anti-reciprocity candidates.
In Manitoba the opposition candidates
are greatly aided by the Roblla govern
ment organization. Despite this, the reci
procity feeling Is so strong that the lib
erals will probably add four seats to the
two they had in the last Parliament.
Each Side Confident.
OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 18. Semi-official
estimates of Canadian election results
have been obtained from both parties and
they show the greatest possible differ
ence in expected results. Liberals are con
fident that the government wljl be re
turned and, after careful Inquiry Into the
situation In each province and every con
stituency, claim the Laurier administra
tion will have a clear majority of sixty
three. The estimate of the conservatives
has been made with equal care and they
declare that the election next Thursday
will give Opposition Leader Borden a
clear majority of thirty-nine seats.
"Victory for Borden is assured, declared
George Perley, chief conservative whip,
today. "Reclplrocity has killed Laurier.
I have been over a good deal of the coun
try and everywhere I find electors turn
ing away from Laurier and announcing
that they will vote for Borden and against
reciprocity."
Laurier In Hlh Spirits.
Premier Laurier has arrived In Ottawa
In high spirits and unimpaired health. To
political friends here he expressed him
self as Increasingly assured of the con
tinuance of his regime, and the estab
lishment of reciprocity.
Fir Wilfrid Intends to make the climax
of his campaign on of the whirlwind
variety. Tomorrow he will address meet
ings here and at Rockland In Russell
county; Tuesday afternoon a meeting In
Soulangea county, and In the evening
three meetings at Montreal, and on
Wednesday a meeting at Mont Morency.
He will await the returns In Quebec on
election day.
Opposition Leader Borden will close the
antl-reclproclty campaign with daily
speeches In Nova Scotia. The opposition
campaigners are closing their fight with
a final demonstration of flag waving and
denunciation of reciprocity as a definite
step toward separation from England and
the annexation of Canada by the United
States.
The Friday and Saturday Issues of con
servative country papers throughout
Canada contained "flag supplements" de
nouncing the government for the reci
procity agreement and declaring that It
Is and was Intended to be an adroit move
by President Taft to secure the annexa
tion of Canada. "Keep both hands on
the Union Jack," has become a popular
slogan' with the opposition papers and
voters.

Trie condition if Premier Stolypin all
day was irlLca: Tl.is afternoon the
pulse had r.a-n to 140 and the temperature
was i'C.uw nnrnia . The heart was en
dangered. During yesterday the premier ahowaa
no Improvement and a bulletin Issued at
mldniKht said that the patient sUU ex
hibited symptoms of peritonitis.
The early examination cf the wounds
inflicted upon the premier by Dmitry Bo
grotf led to hope for an early recovery.
The rally followed immediately after the
removal of the bullet by the euigeona in
an e.tfort to relieve tut premier of the
unbearable pain of which he complained
throughout tsaturoay night and which
had thrown him into a state of depression
where death seemed a welcome relief.
Several times during Saturday night the
premier had broken out involuntarily
with a murmured exclamation; "I feel
death stealing upon me "
The operation was entirely successful.
The bullet was removed wtihout diffi
culty by the use of a local anaesthetic
and hopes apparently were Justified when
the premier experienced a great snae of
relief and cheerfully talked with hia at
tendants, inquiring of current events and
commenting on the appearance of hia aa
ssllant. "The little fellow waa awfully pitiful
as he came up to .me In the theater."
said Stolypin, "he waa pale and bowed
a sorry figure." '
But the rally did not last long. Boon
the patient's pulse ' began " to mount
alarmingly and unm!stebeble symptom
of peritonitis set In. Hia temperature
remained strangely normal, later sinking
a trifle below 98.6, which indlcatea per
feet health.
The normal temperature waa at first
ascribed to an almost total elimination
of outside Infection on account of the
care with which Prof. Rein had made the
initial dressings. Later some of the phy
sicians were lnsllned to regard the drop
ping temperature as an unfavorable
sign. Indicating that the patient sys
tem was yielding to tiro septic poisoning
without the struggle which would be
marked by a rise in .temperature.
Attack of IIIcrousEhs.
The doctors placed great hopes on the
powerful constitution of their patient,
who was in the pink pf condition after a
month' sojourn In the country, but at
the same time they pointed out that bul
let wounds are always doubtful quantities
and that complications axe always likely.
The patient was nervous from the start.
The arrival and presence of bis wife
agitated him and Saturday night he waa
tortured by frequent attacka of hic
coughing. The bullet, which the doctors ex
tracted, waa of huge caliber and proved
to have been purchased in Berlin. The
head waa deformed from striking the
Vladlmlre cross, which adorned Stoly
pin' breast. The cross deflected tb
course of the bullet and deprived It of
much of its penetrating power.
According to the police reports, the
revolutionary bodies are showing signs
of recovering from the staggering blow
dealt them two years ago by the ex
posure of the dual role of Eugene Aaef,
who was at the same time head of the
fighting socialist and a police spy. The
revolutionists ase now, the officials say,
closing up their ranks in preparation for
a new campaign.
Some time ago, Russian police agents)
abroud In reports to their governments.
Indicated that a new outbreak attended
with terrorism was impending. Recent
acts of violence directed against those In
the employ of the government have ap
peared to give some substance to these
reports. The assistant prosecutor of St.
Petersburg, Alexander Bkoplnsky, waa
murdered In a train on the blnipheropol
railroad, August 2. by two men who since
have evaded detection. The fact that
none of the murdered mini property
was taken led to the belief that bis death
was a political act Kkoptnsky earned the
hatred of the revolutionists in 1904-07 be
