Speech, Lands Acts of

EE RECEIVES AN OVATION
i Baltimore, Md., Sept 25. President
Wilson, speaking before the Grain
Dealers' convention here todfcy, up
held his tariff policy, defending the
federal reserve act and the shipping
bill, and declared that if its business
is properly conducted America has
an unexcelled future before it.
President Wilson arrived here at
1:30 o'clock this afternoon and was
driven immediately to the Lyric
theater. The president's progress
through the streets was marked by a
continuous ovation, four automo
biles carried his immediate party.
There were no bands, because of Mr.
Wilson s insistence that the occasion
be keot nonpartisan. Frequently,
however, he was forced to bow in
response to applause. A committee
representing commercial uigauita'
tions and the Grain Dealers' assoeia-
! tion met him. As he stepped upon
the platform at the theater the aud
ience stood and clapped.
Lee G. Metcalfe, head of the asso-
ciation, introduced Mr. Wilson with
the simole words: the president.
Mr. Wilson declared at the outset
that a political campaign seriously in
" terfered wi'h the consideration of
public questions, lie said he desired
his audience to torget tor tne time
bemn that a campaign was on.
"What I have come to say." he said
"I want to say in an atmosphere of
calmness.
"I want to speak to you of the
business of the world trom tne stand
nnint of America."
He said that the export of grain
from the United States was decreasing
in ratio, adding that the agricultural
acreage of the United States should
produce at least twice as much grain
as at present . .
' 'I want to see America seek not to
exclude, but to excell. said the presi
. dent in discussing American trade. He
spoke in support ot the taritt commit
sion created bv the last congress.
The president said he did not fear
to say that previously tariff laws had
been founded on theories. He did not
fear the investigation of the facta by
the tariff commission.
"It will look for the facts, no mat.
ter whom it hurts." he said.
"We have swung out into new
business era in America," continued
the president "Now our business has
extended to the whole world. Our
trade has burst its jacket We have
realized that American business men
did not have enough ships to carry
their aroods. '
The president, speaking slowly,
turned to a discussion oi tne oznxing
system of the United States. "Only
in verv recent years.'' he said, "have
we even studied the question. Not un-
. til the present federal reserve act was
passed did American Danxers nave
proper ractmca tor carrying uii ivr
, eign business.
"Not onlv when this war is over,
but now America must take its stand
in American business on a scale it
has never known before. -
"A few years ago American busi
ness men took ud their morning P
pers with a degree of nervousness to
see what the government was doing
to them," h continued. "Now they
have no nervousness. There is no con
test between proper business and the
government.
"We are creating instrumentalities
throueh which a thorough investiga-
tion can be made of every American
business, the president declared.
He was interrupted frequently by
: hand clapping. "But business must
be founded on truth," he said. TWe
, u...... .it"
musi nave cu-upctauun uciwccu
As a step in this direction he advo
cated a law to all American exporters
to utilize common, selling agencies
abroad.
"I despise monopoly and have an
enthusiasm tor co-operation, ne oc
The trend of laws in the United
States, according to the president, will
be to remove "all ingenious obstruc
tions" from the, activities of the people
of the nation. . . ' c
Speaking of the need of more ships
for America he asserted that "we can
not lose any time in getting the means
of delivering our goods to foreign
markets." ' He explained the shipping
bill by saying that under it the gov
ernment will seek- to ouua up traae
routes, but will steo aside when pri.
. vate capital wants to keep up the
business,.'
"The real wealth of foreign rela-
tionship," he said, "ia the wealth of
friendship and common understand'
ing. '-
"There is only one thing I have ever
been ashamed of in America, and that
is its timidity in facing foreign com'
petition. I know that American busi
ness men have enough brains to com
pete with anybody.
The president spoke emphatically
and slapped his right fist on the palm
of his left hand with a resounding
a mack, i
"My interest in American affairs,"
he said, is to do my utmost in re'
leasing the intelligence of America for
the service ot mankind.
At he concluded the band played
the Star Spangled Banner, and the
entire 1 audience stood and cheered
again and again.

junk. All the persons inside were
thrown out. Only the motorman.
Kofka, was seriously hurt The other
ones injured were merely cut and
bruised.
Wires attached to the wrecked
telephone pole were torn down and
traffic was made extremely danger
ous.
Miller, as the car crossed Seven
teenth street, called to his fellow pas
sengers, "Hold tight, boys, you know
what happens when we hit Sixteenth.
Hang on I" The next moment the car,
was hurled across the Sixteenth street
tracks.
Wanted to Jump.
Kofka during the last few blocks
of the car's ride clung to the steps
with the intention of jumping, but
was persuaded just before the final
crash by Kent to come back to the
platform.
An enormous crowd congregated
at Sixteenth and Cuming streets dur
ing the morning watching workmen
clear away the debris.
Kent said, lhe first time that I
became fully aware of our danger was
just before the car reached Thirty
third street. Kofka came to the rear
platform and told me. He as prepar
ing to jump to the pavement but 1
kept him from doing so. Shortly
afterward, I think the car waa going
fully eighty miles an hour. We had a
flat wheel that made an intermittent
sound when- we were traveling at a
normal rate of speed, but it was purr
ing wnen we nit l wenty-iourth street,
and the lights went out. 1 knew the
finale woura occur when we reached
Sixteenth, and called to the cassen
gers. All clung to some portion of
the car like death. 1 remember one
man sitting down on the floor brac
ing his feet and back against the
seats.
' Braces for Crash.
Oh. God. Oh. God.' he keot sav
ing. I was trying to pray ,when we
struck' the Sixteenth street turn, and
a second later a telephone pole. A
thousand lights of as many different
colors seemed to strike my eyes, then
a (black curtain shut them out and,
and here I am."
All of the passengers assert that
their thoughts were so confused when
they realized their danger, that aside
from clinging to the nearest object
and praying for the best, they had
no connected ideas.
rs. Lillie Stockman, mother of
Claude, savs she had a oresentimrnt
during the evening that her son was
in danger and prayed that no ill might
befall him.
Mrs. E. F. Dustier had a similar
mental flash about her son, but dis
missed the idea aa nonsense and re
tired. ;

While threshing wheat out at Fred
Shunk's farm, some six miles south

showed that the bundlea in the stack
were literally loaded with matches.
In one bundle fifty-one matches were
found. The wind being favorable,
the machine and stacks were saved.

the heads of matches in the wheat
which came from the machine. The

BRITISH APOLOGIZE
TO UNITED STATES
Expression, of Eegret Made by
England for the Seizure of
American-Owned Goods.
WON'T BE DONE ANY MORE
Washington, Sept. Z5. Informal
expressions of regret have been made
by Great Britain to the State depart
ment for seiiure at Hong Kong of
American-owned goods consigned to
Manila on board the steamers- Chi
nese Prince Kaafue and Aymeric. It
was learned today that in response to
a vigorous protest by the United
States assurances have been given
that there will be no more such seiz
es.
The British action first was ex
plained on the ground that the goods
were consigned to blacklisted firms.
Later it was claimed that several of
the firms were ringleaders in a junta
alleged to be seeking to cause a rebel-
ion in India.
The seizure of packages from the
Chinese Prince caused very bitter
feeling in Manila and a maximum fine
was levied on i: when it entered port
with its manifest short. The fine was
later reduced to $25,000 and finally re
bated when the missing goods arrived
on another ship.

fall. In the halgyon days o old all
circuses and atreet fairs and carni-
cal companies carried a thriller, some
fooldhardy man or woman who
gambled with short odds against fate
and laughed at the undertaker. But
after a few years even the most in
ventive brain failed to igure out thril
lers that would thrill the public had
seen so many and the thriller be
came a thing ot the past.

nothing but the hard earth below.
"It'll take your breath completely
away," is the prediction o those who
have seen this nervy chap in action.
But the Wortnam shows do not
make their only bid for popularity
with this thriller. A score of other
attractions, not so exciting, perhaps,
but as interesting, are included in this
jubilee company.

Telegram.) The barn on the Perry
precinct farm of M. W. Watkins of
VlcCool was destroyed by fire last
night entailing a loss of $3,000 with

driving them into the barn before the
fire. The tennant succeeded in driv
ing them all out of the burning build
ing. The barn had been entered a

WORK OF THE LIFE AGENT.
What is the work of the life insur
ance agent, and what does it mean
directly aa to homes and broadly as
to society? His direct work w good.
There can be no question of this.
Indirectly his woijk is far reaching.
It is because of the premiums paid by
the policyholders whom he obtains
that the life insurance companies
exist; it la by reason of his tireless
endeavor that the companies prosper
and grow large. Through these com
panies it may be said that he erects
buildings, constructs bridges, helps
towns and municipalities in construc
tion work and puts railroads in places
where there were but endless dead
stretches of mere landscape. The life

HUNDRED THOUSAND
VOTING ON STRIKE
More New York Unions Are
Balloting Today on Question
of Suspending Work.
179,600 VOTED ON SUNDAY
New York, Sept. 25. Labor or
ganizations including about 100,000
workers, meet today to vote on the
question of joining in the proposed
general strike to take effect here
Wednesday morning. Ernest Bohm,
secretary of the conference of labor
organizations directing the move
ment, said that unions representing
179,500 workers already had voted to
quit work.
A meeting of the leaders will be
held this afternoon to hear the reports
from the local unions. Among those
who vote today are the machinists,
metal workers, laundrymen and
butchers.
Secretary Bohm asserts that if the
general strike becomes effective it will
not last more than two days, as he
believes it will quickly force the trac
tion companies to arbitrate with their
striking employes.
Milk Wagon Drivers Strike.
According to Secretary Bohm, the
strike among drivers for Borden's
Condensed Milk company, which be
gan yesterday and continued to spread
today, was due to an attempt by the
company to enforce upon the men the
"master and servant" form of con
tract, which is one of the issues in the
traction strike. The Borden com
pany's example was being followed by
other employers he said and would
not be tolerated. . The milk drivers
strike would be extended to other
companies, he declared.
