PRESIDENT TAFT IN PRAISE OF ROOSEVELT

Addresses the Conservation Congress at St. Paul Ten thousand people heard Mr. Taft speak on conservation at St. Paul at the Auditorium, and 25,000 more at the state fair grounds gave their approval by cheers and waving of flags, and scores of thousands of others lined the pavements over which Mr. Taft whirled, declared it, too, in no uncertain fashion. In the hotel lobbies where the politicians congregate the verdict was: "He made a great speech at the conservation congress.” The shadow of Mr. Roosevelt, who came to talk to the conservators later, did not stalk before. Mr. Taft praised him freely, frequently and is unstinted terms. The first mention of the colonel’s name brought cheers' long enough and strong enough to make the president pause, but that was all. His own entrance into St. Paul and late last night into Minneapolis, and his appearance at the conservation congress brought forth applause that surpassed that given for Col. Roosevelt.

To the conservators the president laid down the administration s policy.. He set it out unequivocally, praising the work of his predecessor where he thought it ought to be praised, and damming some of the conservation policies of the colonel’s administration in the next sentence. Mr. Taft dodged once. He left to congress the decision of the question as to whether or not water power sites shall be controlled by the general government or by the state government.

At the state fair grounds the president made an attempt to conciliate the labor unions. He was speaking to a Labor Day crowd. He was blunt when he talked about class legislation; he was opposed to it "But there is a kind of legislation,” he said, "which I refer that does not come under the head of vicious class legislation, and I hope I can make the distinction clear between this and what I have been describing. A number of statutes have been pased in the states against combinations or conspiracies to restrain trade, to suppress competition, or to maintain prices; and there has been some times an attempt to insert in such statutes a proviso or section exempting fanners or other classes from operation of the statutes, so as to enable the exempt classes to corner products and raise prices while no other class in the community can do so. The supreme court has held that such a law gives undue privilege to a particular class in the community, creates an unjust exemption from the operation of a useful law, denies the equal protection of the laws, violates the constitution and is invalid. “Again the federal anti-trust law has been held by the supreme court to denounce combinations to obstruct or restrain interstate trade, and to prohibit, therefore, illegal boycotts to injure the interstate trade of any person. In the last session of congress in an appropriation bill some $200,000 was appropriated for the enforcement of th* anti-trust law. To this appropriation an amendment was proposed providing that no part of the $200,000 should b* used in the prosecution of workingmen engaged in a boycott in violation of the statute. That is not the way the amendment read, but that was its necessary effect The majority of the house after a very heated discussion rejected the amendment on the ground that it was vicious class legislation,” With Mr. Taft at his two public ap pearances were Senator Clapp and Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota; Gov Brady, of Idaho; Congressman Madison of Kansas, and Senator Sutherland of Utah. The president left St Paul in the private car Mayflower at 8:15 p. m. for Chicago and Beverly.

ROOSEVELT IN ST. PAUL

Colonel Speak* Before the National Conservation Congress. Mr. Roosevelt reached Minneapolis from Fargo and after breakfast was escorted to St Paul, where be delivered two addresses, one before the national conservation congress and th* other at the state fair grounds. The colonel talked conservation tn the morning and took occasion to endorse part of President Taft's address. But he was careful in his praise and did not go far. His position in regard to control of natural resources was made unmistakably clear, for he hammered away at that phase of the new nationalism that insists that federal control shall be stronger than state control. v From St Paul Colonel Roosevelt went to Milwaukee. Freeport, 81. and Chicago, delivering speeches at each place and at points along the route

UNCLE SAM WINS IN HAGUE COURT

Famed by Decision in the Fisheries Dispute At The Hague meeting the United States wins on five points out of the seven points submitted to the international court of arbitration in the Newfoundland fisheries dispute with Great Britain In the decision just handed down. The century-old fisheries dispute was the source of constant diplomatic friction between the governments of the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Newfoundland. The American government is sustained on points two. three, four, six and seven, out of the total of th* seven points in which the issue was framed. Great Britain Wins on questions one and five.

While the United States triumphs on five of the seven points, point five, decided in favor of Great Britain, has been held by Englishmen as the most important of those submitted. • - The fifth point was stated in th* form of this question: « “From where must be measured the three marine miles of any of th* coasts, bays, creeks, or harbors referred to in article I. of the AmericanBritish treaty of 1818?” United States fishermen claimed the right to take the measure from any part of the British North American shore, and therefore the liberty to fish in the middle of any Canadian bay or estuary having a radius of more than three miles The British contention was that the limit should be measured from an imaginary line connecting the headlands. The representatives of the United States before the tribunal this summer were: Senator Root, who spoke for six days; George Turner and Samuel J. Elder, as counsel; Charles D. Warren, associate counsel; Chandler P. Anderson, agent for the United States, and Robert Lansing, solicitor agent. Great Britain was represented by six distinguished lawyers, including Sir Robert Finlay and Sy - William Robson. The United States, although losing the most important contention, secured valuable privileges. American fishermen will not have to pay light house duties or enter at custom houses and they will be allowed, to m*n their vessels with aliens

Photo by American Press Association.

The uncertainty of baseball was never better illustrated than in the case of Harry Krause, the young pitcher who was recently released by the Philadelphia Americans. Last year Krause was the sensation of rhe American league, and a brilliant future was predicted for him. At the opening of the 1910 campaign many critics predicted that be would come pretty near being the leading southpaw twirier of the junior organization. Krause pitched several good games early in the cam paign. but later be seemed to go to pieces. As he was unable to win the majority of his games Manager Connie Mack banded bim his release.

Sweden’s Skating Champion. Having won all the laurels Europe has to offer in the line of skating, Maje Oholm, champion skater of Sweden for five successive years and bolder of the European championship in 1907 and 1908, has come to America to seek new honors. Oholm has secured employment in Moline. HL, until winter comes and the skating season begins. He bas received invitations from both the Chicago Atbletic and Illinois clubs, but bas not decided with which organization be vrill affiliate. Another question which is undecided In Obolm’s mind is whether to enter the professional field or remain in the amateur class. It was his purpose in coming to America to make capital of the fame be has achieved in Europe, but the thought that be would be barred from future contests In Europe, should he give exhibitions in this country as a professional, makes him hesitate to pursue this plan.

Farrell, secretary of the National Association of Baseball Clubs, is in Washington conferring with Census Director Durand regarding the population of cities, with a view to regrading the classes of clubs in the association and a revision of the price schedule governing the exchange of players from one class to another.

Hedges’ Big Mistake. President Hedges of the St. Louis Americans made a mistake when he sold Jimmie Williams and Hobe Ferris to the Minneapolis team of the American association. They are doing sensational fielding. Williams leads the American association batters with an average of 352 and Ferris is hitting .275. They smile in Minneapolis when It is mentioned that Hedges let the pair go because they could not hit Vanderbilt Cup Race. That the Vanderbilt cup race which is to be held on the Long Island motor parkway on Oct 1 will be the biggest and most interesting automobile race ever held In this country is the opinion expressed by the promoters. In point of entries, they say. this year’s race will have more contenders for the famous trophy than ever before. It is expected that close to fifty will participate. Druck* Making Good. , Pitcher Louis Drucke of the New York Nationals is coming steadily. He has worked hard on the fadeaway curve, made famous by Mathewson and be has mastered if thoroughly.
