Entered at the poatoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-ciass m»’‘ Judge Garj. he- I of the steel trust, attended a bant i.et in Xsw York The food was good: the lights were bright: the silver shimmered; the wine sparkled; the cigars added a final c tnFieteness to th happiness of all present When it came Judge Gary's turn to speak, his mind was saturated with benevolence, and his thoughts turned to the welfare of the republic, and the sufferings of working men. Listen to him: “Things are being said nowadays that are closely akin to the things that were said just prior to the Fjreneh revolution. * * * Unless the great cotpoitions, capitalists, and men of large wealth and power take a leading part :n the amelioration of conditions, there will be changes made later by the mob." The newspapers next day told the story of the bat quet, and of Jude > Gary's speech, and the same news;-.-pers chronicled the testimony of witnesses before the Stanley investigating committee. These witnesses told bow the steel trust forces men to work twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for wages which compels them to live I’ke swine—a co r uition which Judge Gary could amelioate with a fe, strokes of his pen. The banquet hall is dark. The diners are The tables are stripped of their linen and viands. And somewhere in that dese-;ed room, shrunken so small that the servants failed to see it when they swept out the crumbs, is Judge Gary’s Beautiful Altruism. Just once in his life Theodore Roosevelt expressed an opin’on on the tariff. That is, he almost expressed an opinion. In one of his messages he wrote this sentence: “In a later message I shall discuss the tariff.” A preliminary draft of this message fell into the hands of Senators Lodge and Aldrich and Speaker Cannon. Immediately they rushed to the white house Presto' when the message finally was submitted to congress it contained no reference to the tariff. Aside from that, no living man can point to a written or spoken opinion that Mr. Roosevelt e.er expressed on the. tariff question.

Failing in this he fired four shots at Engineer William Davis, one of ine shots passing through the ashes of the cigar in the engineer's mouth. The robber then escaped without attempting to enter any of the six coaches of the mail cars. Daylight revealed no trace of ■ the robber.
