TALKS  ON TRUST  PROBLEM
New York Industrial Cities Hear the
Candidate snd Give Him Rousing
Greetings All   Up ttis  Hudson Valley.
TOOT, N. Y., Oct 27.—The Industries of tbe cities snd towns which
Une the banks of the picturesque Hud-
eon from Greater New xork to T*-0
Vera made the text for the speeches ot
William H. Taft today to,the people
of these cities and towns.
Yorkers smiled on the big form of
tbe -hloan through a heavy shower.
He; talked at length to as many as
could <*et into the largest theater snd
Utenf: dressed those who bed stood
waitif In the rain, whose number was
even 'sweater.
Mr. Bryan spoke In Yonkers yesterday, and, saying he understood bis distinguished opponent had charged that
the Republican party bad done nothing
for labor, Mr. laft first asserted that
tb« policies of toe Bepublican party
bad been chiefly devoted ,to the interests of labor, and then pointed out
tbat the protective policy made possible the sugar refining Industry, the
ohief enterprise of the city.
A Very Bold Man.
"Certainly Mr. Bryan was a bold
man to advocate such views in a town
like Yonkers," continued Mr. Taft,
"which, I believe, is one of the greatest manufacturing towns in proportion
to its size in toe state of New, York
snd is dependent upon the protective
system." As a sample, Mr. Taft said,
of thy "utterly impractical or destructive character of Mr. Bryan's recommendations with reference to economic reforms," he would cite wbat Mr.
Bryan would do with toe honkers sugar refinery, assuming for argument,
that the refinery was ln a "trust."
Mr. Taft said: "He would take off
the differential on sugar—that protection which Is necessary to enable us to
have any sugar refineries in this country. It would cause the establishment
of refineries in Germany, and all bt
yout population here dependent' on this
refinery would be affected. And not
trnly would lt destroy the trust, but
w'lth it the independent refineries."
"The Republican party la just as
much opposed to monopoly as the Dsm-
o.cratlc party," announced Mr. Tait
later. "It passed and enforced the
anti-trust law. It believes in -going
[directly'"at the evil "or'iffiindpbly by
punishing men tor continuing it, rather than by destroying the industries
srid the great combinations of capital
Cbht have so much utility, attd are of
such benefit to the wage earners. It
believes ta stamping out the evil and
not stamping out the corporation."
Speeches in Other Places.
Tarrytown, Peekskill and Flshkill
Landing listened in the rain to short
speeches delivered by the candidate
from the rear of his car. The dampness did not seem to dull the ardor
of the citizens. When the Taft special
reached Poughkeepsle at 1 o'clock,
rata had just ceased and the sun came
out brightly. He was driven up town
to the Collingwood opera house, which
was crowded to -the very doors. Judge
Taft got inside with much difficulty,
after which thc doors were closed on
most of the members of his party, including Job Hedges, who was to help
the candidate in the speaking. Turning to the big crowd outside Mr.
Hedges, employed his time in optimistic predictions as to what such enthusiasm would result ta one week
from today.
A class of girls from Vassar college
tried to "get" Judge Taft's speech in
shorthand, and an -enthusiast ih the
gallery attracted brief attention by
shouting: "He surely wears 'the smile
tbat won't oome off.'"
"It will still be there next Tuesday,''
rejoined Judge Taft, and ta' his hope
the audience seemed to concur. Here
the Republican candidate reverted 10
Mr. Bryan's ' issue, "Shall the people
rule?"
'"Shall the. people rule?' has stranded," he declared. "The truth is that
the proposition that tbe people had not j
ruled up to this date met with so much
ridicule that it has faded out as an
Issue." Mr. Taft was so much in demand by the immense crowd outside
the theater when he emerged that he
made a second speech from the steps I
of the Republican headquarters building.
Meeting at Hudson.
Another brief, speech was made at
Hudson, after which the special ran
to Schenectady, where nearly three-
hours were occupied by the candidate
in the deUvery of three speeches, all
of them predominant wlto the labor
issues. The employes pf the Amerloan
Locomotive works were spoken to first
and received tbe candidate wtth much
show of enthusiasm.
'Schenectady contains more organised or union men than any town in
the country for its size," declared Mr.
Taft, and he then proceeded to Inform
his hearers of his own labor record,
of the labor organization which the Republican party had enacted, as compared <with the "blank" record of the
Democratic party.
The shops of the General Electric
works were next visited, and from a
stand the thousands of workmen were I
told ta detail'the Taft position on labor from the time the candidate was a
judge on the bench, during his administration in the Philippines, as secretary of war in charge of the Panama
canal, and the present promise of interest.   .
The third meeting here was to an
audience which packed the Van Cur-j
ler theater, and here again Judge Taft
devoted himself to a discussion of tbe I
labor situation as well as bringing to
the fore tbe general prosperity issue
wbich he declared confronted the voters of toe country.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONIST
IS AGAIN  UNDER ARREST.
Efforts to Secure  Release of Pouren.
Net.Vet Successful.
NEW YORK, Oct. St.—An effort to
secure freedom without- the formality
of further hearings for Jan Janoff
-Pouren, the Russian refugee, accused
of various crimes and under detention
pending decision upon the; Russian
government's application for his extradition, came to nought today
through a decision by Judge Holt In
the United States court here, Congres-
man Herbert Parsons, counsel for
Pouren, asked the court yesterday to
vacate the second warrant o* arrest
secured by counsel for the Russian
government, which was served upon
Pouren Immediately upon the receipt
here of an order from Washington,
releasing him from custody under the
first warrant.
The ground of the application was
that no certificate had been issued by
the secretary of state to the Russian
representatives, as provided in the
treaty with Russia, covering cases of
the kind. The court held that the
Issuance of such a certificate in the
first proceeding was sufficient.
Judge Holt referred the Pouren matter to Samuel M. Hitchcock, United
States commissioner ta extradition
proceedings, instructing Commissioner
Hitchcock "to proceed with the hearing and take what further action is
necessary ta the case."

Investigation   in   New   York   Proves

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The civil
service commission has decided tha'
there was no foundation for the
charges that customs inspectors of
New York are compelled to see a Mr.
Plummer in the office of Treasurer
Sheldon of the Republican national
committee, at No. 2.Wall street, and
there contribute $25 each. It was
charged that the 450 assessors were assessed that amount to help the RepubUcan campaign, and that many had already contributed.
Commissioner Green went to New
York to investigate, examined forty or
fifty employes, and reported that hu
found no trace coercion or assessment
or even of a very general or systematic voluntarily payment of contribu
tions, to the campaign fund.

Given a Yellow Chrysanthemum by a
Young   Lady,  He  Makes  Sound

With Lieutenant Governor Chanler, He
Covers Greater New York, Also
Going Over Into New Jersey During the Trip.
NEJW YORK, Oct. 27.—Winding up
his remarkable campaign ta and abour
Greater New York, WUliam 3. Bryan
was whirled 116 miles by automobile
ta Manhattan and Brooklyn during tne
day ahd night and made eight speeches
between the hours of 6 and IS o'clock
tonight. In New York he was accompanied by Tammany Leader Charles F.
Murphy. Arriving at Brooklyn bridge
he was met by Senator Patrick McCar-
ren, toe Democratic leader of Kings
county.
Lieutenant Oovernor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter's campaign for governo?
coincided with Mr. Bryan's Itinerary
both ta Manhattan and Brooklyn, and
while he ta one place was pleading
for loyal support for the national
ticket, Mr. Bryan at another was urging voters to stand by the state candidates from Governor Chanler down
and for the Democratic nominees for
congress. ,
Mir. Bryan made eighteen speeches
during the long and tiring day, ana
everywhere he went—ploughing at
times through mud and rain in a rush
to keep his many engagements—he was
greeted by some of the largest ami
most enthusiastic audiences of his
country-wide tour.
The Democratic candidate's eventful
day began at 3 a. m., when he addressed the night workers from the
steps of the city hall at the most
unique political meeting ever held in
a presidential campaign. Then followed a Broadway meeting at 10
o'clock .and a forenoon trip to Brooklyn to address an audience of laboring
men in Walabout Market square.
Trip to New Jersey.
, From Brooklyn Mr. Bryan hurried
across to Long Island City, then to
Jersey City, wbere three speeches ended the New Jersey campaign. Back ta
New York again, Mr. Bryan was the
guest of the College Men's Democratic
club, and then with Mr. Murphy was
hurried up town for. two Harlem meet
ings.
Six meetings in Brooklyn—the principal one at Clermont Avenue rink—
brought the day's work to a close. Al
thttjiglUfrJbe had had but two hours'
sleep • out of forty-eight," Mi-. Bryan
spoke with all hls characteristic vigor
and good humor.
In all of his speeches today Mr.
Bryan warned the workingmen against
traitors among toe men. He asserted
that every laboring man Wbo voted the
RepubUcan ticket would vote to repudiate the things that labor demanded ta the. Denver platform. He held
up Mr. Taft as the enemy of labor,
and assailed him and President Roosevelt at every opportunity. Mr. Bryan's
references to the guaranty of bank
deposits brought shouts of approval a'
all of his meetings. ,
Lieutenant Oovernor Chanler shared
everywhere ta the welcomes that
were accorded to Mr. Bryan. In his
principal Brooklyn speeoh, delivered at
the rink, Mr. Bryan first discussed publicity of campaign'contributions.
"The people have been cheated, the
voters betrayed," he said, "because the
Republican organisation has given toe
promise ta advance that the people
shall pay back through legislation the
money that has been' contributed."
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Invading the
Metropolitan district after putting itt
an active day campaigning in agricul-1
tural and manufacturing districts upstate, Ja'mes S. Sherman, Republican
vice presidential nominee, made six!
speeches tonight at different places in
the Manhattan and Bronx boroughs to
large and enthusiastic audiences. The
candidate arrived here at 8 o'clock,
coming from Schenectady.
The first speeoh was made on the
upper west side. As Mr. Sherman entered the hall a young woman stepped
forward and presented a huge etirysan- I
themum, saying It was for "Sunny
Jim," with best wishes for success.
The candidate pinned the yellow blossom on his coat, remarking it was a
symbol of the gold standard whicii the j
Republican party had made the foundation of the best money in the world—
the American dollar.
Sound Money Address.
. With that as a text, the speaker delivered an earnest address on the. currency question, urging his hearers to
vote for an administration that guaranteed sound money.
The second stop was In the crotona
Casino, in The Bronx. There Mr. Sherman talked on the tariff.
At Camp Hughes tbe candidate devoted fifteen minutes to praising Governor Hughes. Brief talks were made
by the candidate at Camp Taft, Empire hall and the Amsterdam opera
house, tn the last named place he de
voted most of his remarks to the
tariff.
Night Meeting.
NBW YORK, Oct. 27.—For the flrst
time ln their history the grey walls
of the old city hall were lighted up
by red flre at 3 o'clock this morning
wben W. J. Bryan, bareheaded and
steps of the building to a big crowd
of nightworkers gathered there to
greet him and to hear htm speak on
the issues of toe campaign. Before
the cheers had ceased, the red fire
died out and Mr. Bryan made his address ta tbe dark, the few street
lamps ln the park giving hardly
enough light for the listeners to distinguish the form of the speaker
against the walls of the old building
and the muffled forms of those who
accompanied him. The crowd was
composed principally of employes in
the big newspaper offices ln Park Row,
toe telegraph offices and the general
postoffice across the park, while here
and there a yellow- "duster" marked
a listener from one of the big markets
where work does not cease with darkness.
A brass band entertained the crowd
with badly played patriotic airs until
the arrival of Mr. Bryan and his
party, and a number of lesser lights
in the political fleld spoke briefly, but
neither these interruptions, nor the
speech of Mr. Bryan himself disturbed* the regular patrons of tbe park
benches, scores of whom slept on undisturbed by the unusual activity in
their out-of-doors sleeping place.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied by National Chairman Norman B. Mack and
by Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Mack. Mr.
Bryan eulogised the workers of the
country and spoke at some length on
the various issues of the campaign.
SUES NIGHT RIDERS.
WAGES WOULD FALL
SHOULD BRYAN WIN
In response to letters sent out to tbe trade by Mr. C. B. Morgan of
the Schatt & Morgan Cutlery company of this city, regarding the effect
of Mr. Bryan's election on the business, and, consequently, on wages,
a number of replies have been eceived, all in the same line. Here is
one of them:
"Cattaraugus Cutlery Company
"Manufacturers of High Grade Cutlery,
"Factories and Genera Office,
"Little Valley, N. Y., Oct. 23, 1908.
"Mr. C. B. Morgan,
"Schatt 9 Morgan Cutlery Company,
"Titusville, Pa., \)\ f|:j!J*f| [*■*■,.! '.      '*»  -. ?jj^
"Dear Sir:—Replying to your valued favor of the 22nd inst., relative to the effect which a chang In tariff would have on the pocket..
knife Industry, I would say from dn experience of twenty-eight years/]
in the cutlery business that a tariff sufficient to oover tbe difference
between the price of labor abroad and the price of labor bere must be
maintained if we are to continue to manufacture cutlery in this country.
"We had a trial at this reduction of tariff ta 1894 wben William J.
Bryan was a.member of tbe ways and means committee, and the result
of that tariff so far as pocket cutlery was concerned was an Increase
of more than 25 per cent, in the amount of pocket cutlery hn ported.
This meant plenty of work for he foreign knife maker, but it changed'
the conditions here so that many a skilled mechanic did nbLdo a
tap of work for years. It put several of our smaller pocket-knife concerns out of business entirely, and it strained to the breaking- .jiolrit
the ability of some of our strongest concerns to keen their 'heads
above water.
"fn my judgment there is no question what tho result would be
with the Democratic tariff again cn the statute books. It would mean
a loss to the manufacturer of business, it Would mean short time, not
only for a few months but for years, and. it would mean a decided reduction ta tbe price for labor for those who were fortunate enough to
have a job.
"1 enclose herewith letters rom several other pocket .knife concerns, who represent the bulk of the pocket knife industry of the
country, and you will see that tliey are of one mind in this matter.
"I note the position taken by Mr. Brown of the Union Razor company, and I can only excuse Mr. Brown's position in this matter from
the fact that be ]§cks experience. He comes of a strong Democratic
family and bis natural inclination Would be to vote for Mr. Bjcyin, and
his experience ta manufacturing has only been conducted during the
remarkably prosperous years which we have bad .under the present
tariff but. A little experience such as the;-reanufacturerfe were forced
to get during the Wilson tariff would, in my judgment, materially alter'
Mr. Brown's position on tariff matters.
"Yours respectfully, S'-^ftjl
"TENf CHAMPLIN,
"President Cattaraugus Cutlery Company. "
Other letters will follow from day to day.-

by tbe cabinet this morning,1 atter a

On thts -basis,'- • however, he ' added?
there was no objection to the congress-
placing on record the abrogation Ofthe,
articles- relating to Bosnia and Novi-
pazar. The Austro-Hungarian government was trying to smooth toe way
for the conference and he hoped b_f
government's intentions would -bo appreciated at Constantinople snd a hand
extended for a friendly understanding.
Hopes for Peace Elsewhere.
He would also be glad to see toe
Turko-Bulgarian negotiations lead to
aa understanding, for which conditions-.-
were by no means unfavorable. Aot'
ing with that view, Austria, ta common With other powers, had dissuaded,
the administration at Constantinople
and Sofia from adopting military measures calculated to Increase mutual dis-:
tress.
With regard to Servia and Montenegro, he said, neither was entitled to
interfere ln the ■ matter ta any way,
but, notwithstanding this, bis govern-',
ment was willing to. treat both with.;,
benevolence and take their propositions tato consideration. It would be
tetter for.their own interests to set
practical examples for their activity
instead of pursuing dreams that could
never be reaUzed.
Continuing, the foreign minister dilated upon Austria's conciliatory attitude, which hgd met with tbe warmest
support from her allies, Germany and
Italy. He looked to the future wlto'
confidence, and for ihat very reason
he ' believed the other ■ governments
wero displaying an equally conciliatory
disposition.
