PARTY PLATFORMS ARE VERY SIMILAR

?Iapks on Which Political Battle Will Be Waged Nearly Alike. LABOR ENTERS OBJECTION. LEGISLATIVE AGENT OF ENGINEERS, DOES NOT LIKE THE DEMOCRATIC ANTI-INJUNCTION PLANK. Denver, Col., July 10. After many hours of arduous, tedious labor, the 'Committee on resolutions completed jthe democratic national platform last night, and it was adopted by the convention. f ' One of Its most striking features Is 'its similarity in numerous respects to the plaform adopted by the republican national convention in Chicago, three i weeks ago. But it bears even a closer resemblance to some of the messages sent to congress during, its recent session by President Roosevelt, all of which is proof of the fact, now becoming more and more recognized, that in the matter of various vital principles of government the two great political j parties of the country are fast conrerging. While it is true that certain planks of the democratic platform are somewhat more radical than corresponding provisions In the republican political j bible, nearly every reform proposed in 'either is along the same general line. For example, both parties declare in favor of tariff revision, and, while the language employed by them is not jthe same, their promises were made in 1 response to an almost universal sentiIment In favor of a modification of the existing schedules. The democrats who once advocated free trade, are reconciled to a tariff system, especially one which protects American labor against the cheaper labor of foreign countries. It was discovered that it is no longer profitable to urge a policy which places the laboring man of this country on an equality with the foreigner. Railroad Regulation. Both parties declare for further railroad regulation, and, while the republicans specified supervision of future Issues of stocks and bonds, the democrats favor a physical valuation of railroads as a step toward securing lower and more equitable freight and passenger rateB. But in this the democrats coincide wih the views of President Roosevelt, for in his annual message to congress last December, he recommended, among other things, that the interstate commerce commission oe clothed with authority to make a physical valuaion of any interstate railroad. The stablishment of postal savings .banks is recommended by both parties and they also go on record in favor of reform in the present currency system. The republicans admitted that the Aldrich-Vrceland lav passed in the closing days of the last session was not wholly adequate to meet the financial needs of the country, but called attention to the fact that a monetary commission has been appointed to report a new system to congress next winter. The democrats openly condemn the new law. ' Labor Taken Care of. , The democratic labor pfanUs seem to promise much in tlrfe way of legislation favorable to labor. But some laboring men are not wholly content, for just after the anti Injunction plank had been revised for the laat time early this evening, Mr. Puller, the legislative rent at Wash ington of the Locomotive Brother bood, entered a remonstrance against its most salient features. "I am unable to see any remedy for the abuse of the power of Injunction In labor disputes," he wrote in a tatement which he sent in to Chair man Haskell, of the committee on res olutions, "in that part of paragraph 3, which reads: "That injunctions shall not be issued In any cases in which in junction would not issue if no indus trial disputes were involved. Nor can I conceive of any line of reasoning, whereby either legislators or judges could Intelligently proceed to carry out or give effect to this declaration. For Instance, if in an industrial dispute an Injunction be sought to restrain work lngmen from striking or persuading others to do so, the Judge would have no parallel to judge by, as the question of strikes could not possibly arise in any case other than in an industrial dispute. Fuller Objected. Fuller also objected to the fourth paragraph of the labor plank, declar ing that "there should be no abridge ment of the right of wage earners to organize." etc. "The words," he said, to the end that such labor organiza tions and their members should not be regarded as Illegal combinations in restraint of trade,ln my opinion destroys the whole paragraph, for the reason that no Court has ever held that labor organizations or their members as such, were illegal combinations in restraint of trade. In fact, labor organizations have been recognized by Congress as legal. The plank should contain a provision, moreover, requiring that no restraining order should be issued without giving the first party an opportunity to be heard, as that is highly essential to the protection of the rights of the workingmen." The protest of Fuller went unheeded by the committee and the convention, and it now remains to be seen whether the leaders and agents of organized labor will , advise their followers to support one ticket as against the other, or will conclude to occupy a neu

tral attitude. This question will receive very careful and deliberate consideration before any policy is enumciated. ' Portfolio For Labor. The Democrats declare in favor of the organization of a new Department of Labor at Washington, with representation in the President's Cabinet a part of this department to be a bureau of mines. Considerable speculation has been aroused as to the effect upon the Japanese people of the plank relating to the exclusion of Asiatics from our shores. As was explained a few days ago this plank was to go Into the platform with the idea that it would assist the Democrats in committing larceny with respect to the state of California, where the Japanese question is acute, and also Washington and Oregon, whose sympathy with their neighbor to the South is unreserved. The issue of Japanese immigration to the United States has not yet reached a diplomatic settlement, and the Japanese become easily irritated at the suggestion of exclusion. Last winter members of the California delegation In the House of Representatives were prevailed upon by the Administration not to be insistent in their demand for

exclusion legislation, on account of the sensitiveness of the situation arising from the San Francisco school question, which threatened at one time to cause a rupture in the relations between the United States and Japan. The hope of prominent colored men that the Democratic platform would show some consideration for their grievances against the National Administration on account of the dismissal of a battalion of the Twentyfifth Infantry, following the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, two years ago, has been shattered. It seemed for a day or two that the report brought to Denver by Senator Over man, of North Carolina, on Sunday, that a delegation of negroes were on their way here to ask for a hearing. was going to be a false alarm. Negro Deputation. But before the Committee on Reso lutions concluded the platform last evening a deputation of three, headed by R. B. Montgomery, publisher of the National Advocate, of Milwaukee, appeared upon the scene. The committee allowed them only five minutes to present their case, and so far from cordial was its atti tude that Montgomery did not make a very ardent appeal. He was not given an opportunity to go Into the details he had hoped he would be permitted to do, and when he and his friends retired the committee quickly decided that it could do nothing for the negro race. Mr. Bryan had been consulted ear lier in regard to the inclusion of a negro plank In the platform. In response he said that if there was a prepondering sentiment in the committee in its favor It might be incor porated. But he did not desire to make any suggestion which the committee might feel it to be its duty to follow. President Roosevelt Never Said There Was a Probability of War. LOEB MAKES EXPLANATION. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 10. Secretary Loeb was asked if the President would have any comment to make on the speech of Congressman Hobson In the Democratic national convention at Denver, in which reference was made to a reported utterance of Presi dent Roosevelt regarding a war with Japan. The secretary was with the President for three hours last evening and during his visit called the President's attention to Congressman Hobson's speech, in which Mr. Hobson had said: "I want to say to you that not so very long ago the President of the United States said: "There exists the greatest probability of a war with Japan.' " When Secretary Loeb returned to the executive offices last night the following official statement was issued: "In reference to the speech of Congressman Hobson, Secretary Loeb stated that the Congressman must, of course, have been misquoted. The President not only never made such a remark, but never made any remark even remotely resembling it. All that the President has ever said is that if there was a sufficient navy there would never be any possibility of this country getting into a foreign war." Secretary Loeb also said that the Scribner publishing firm had been given all the rights for the series and book form publication of whatever the President might write of his experiences on his proposed hunting trip in Africa. Questioned as to the price to be paid by the firm for the President's written account of his trip, the secretary said he had nothing to give out on that point. The Twilight Or Lire. The muscle of the stomach -n old age are not as strong: or acttve as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, hnvo unpleasant eructations of g-as from the stomach after eating. All this can be avoided by th. use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently reroutes the bowels so that passages roros naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that food is digested without discomfort.

DOURLE TELEPHONE SYSTEMS TO GO

Now Predicted Consolidation Will Be Made Wherever , It Is Feasible. THE LOCAL CASE IS CITED. OFFICIAL OF BELL COMPANY TALKS OF REASONS WHY THE LOCAL AGREEMENT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. Special Correspondence. Indianapolis, July 10. The Rich mond telephone consolidation, or agreement, by which the double phone service is abolished, has become part of the discussions in regard to the attempted consolidation of the two local companies, now under way. An official of the Central Union company, in speaking of the Richmond agreement, told your correspondent that there was little in common as between the two situations at Indianapolis and Richmond except that the one great object, as in the case of Richmond, is to get rid of the double telephone system. "Over at Richmond," said he, "we had a losing proposition. The company wasn't making a cent. We were also in a fight with the city over matters that threatened to interfere seriously with our service. For instance, we had been ordered to remove all our poles by a certain date, and it became plain that the best thing all around, for business as well as for reasons affecting the physical condition of our plant, that consolidation be perfected. "While it is true that the Richmond case is the first victory for consolidation of telephone companies in cities of that class in Indiana, it must be remembered that conditions at Richmond were unusual. I have no doubt that the double telephone system will see its end before long, at least wherever it is possible to bring about consolidation, for the system is a nuisance and a heavy expense to patrons. The Richmond people are to be congratulated, and I am sure they will appreciate the benefits arising from a single service." Just now the city officials are having a war of words with the officials of the Central Telephone company. The mayor's latest is the assertion that the wird of President Richardson of the company, is not to be taken in the phone controversy as it would be accepted in other matters. He Bf ;ms to think that the company is dillydallying, despite the fact that President Richardson declares his determination to meet the city and the rival company on every fair proposition. Taft Can't be There. There has been much disappointment over the declination of Mr. Taft to come to Indianapolis on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the new Y. M. C. A. building. The date for the event had been left open for the convenience of the presidential candidate who has notified Secretary Godard, of the Y. M. C. A., that it will be impossible to come at any time soon. The hope that he would accept the Invitation had resulted in a rush of invitations to 6peak elsewhere in the state on the occasion of his visit, the theory being that he might consent to speak from the rear platform of a train at some of the larger Indiana towns through which he would have to pass In order to reach Indianapolis. Mr. Taft facetiously promised to see his Indiana friends later and already the cam paign committee is arranging dates for his invasion of Indiana during September. Surety Companies in Test The surety companies of the state have joined in an action which is to be brought against the state auditor to test that section of the law relating to the bonds of officers of trust companies and banks. It seems that the auditor has insisted on bonds that cover every kind of loss to depositors in short, that the bonds guarantee the faithful performance of their duties by such officers while the sure ty companies object to such "blanket bonds. The attorney-general has decided that bonds satisfactory to the auditor must be given, which leaves the matter In this official's hands. It will be a test case that will go to the higher courts. Surprises G. A. R The report of a committee recently appointed by Geo. H. Thomas post, G. A. R., to look into the advisability of bringing about some plan of consolidation that would perpetuate the or ganization, has caused some surprise. A majority and a minority report have been made, the former reporting un favorably on the suggestion. It seems that many of the old veterans are in favor of permitting the Grand Army to pass out of existence as Its ranks are thinned by death. Eventually, in perhaps 15 years, it was estimated that not more than a few hundred of the civil war veterans could be mustered for an encampment, and al though this somewhat pathetic feat ure was strongly put in the majority report, that section of the committee felt that the Grand Army, being made up exclusively of civil war veterans, would be losing its identity complete ly by passing its name on to a con solidation of military organizations that have sprung up since that struggle. The minority report favored the merging of such other military organ izatlons as now exist into one grand army that shall carry the name of the parent organization even after every civil war veteran shall have died. The reports are to be acted upon later. Sentiment at present seem to favor the Mjorit

WANTS WILSON ARRESTED. Actor Alleged to Have Committed Libel. New York, July 10. In proceedings before Magistrate Wahle, in Jefferson Market court, for the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of Francis Wil son, the comedian, on a charge of criminal libel, the complainant, Samuel Collins, a dealer in old masters, was asked by counsel for the actor if he had ever been accused of manufacturing paintings and selling them for genuine ones. "I'll kill you!" he replied. Collins' lawyer In an apology said the dealer had been driven out of business as a result of the accusations against him. Collins based his plea on an article in a morning paper headed, "Got Sham Paintings, Says Francis Wil son." In the article Wilson is alleged to have said that two paintings that Collins sold him as a Troyon and a
