Before a gathering of 30,000 persons, who , filled the old fishing village to over- < flowing. President Roosevelt discussed questions of the hour. His j presence was due to the laying of the ] cornerstone of the monument to i commemorate the landing of the Pil- '< griins on New England soil. J The President arrived on the May- j Cower at JO o'clock a. m., and was ] greeted with a salute from the assem- , bled warships. As the President landed a committee composed of ] Governor Guild of Massachusetts, the j president of the Pilgrim Society, and , the chairman of the Selectmen of j Provincetown, met him at the pier , and formally welcomed him to Massa- , chusetts. The carriages carrying these officers, members of the Presi- : dent's family and of the committee. , formed a procession and drove di- ^ rectly to the hill where the ceremo- . nies attendant upon the laying of the j cornerstone of the monumerit were held. Prayer opened the exercises at the j monument, followed by brief Masonic ceremonies. The president of the j Pilgrim Society thereupon introduced ; r*r\\rt\yrtr\r rr?V?r* in turn in t rnri lipod UUVUi UUi , nuv V u* M I the President. James Bryce, British Ambassador, 1 was on the program, and followed the President with an address, as did . also Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and ] Representative William C. Lovering. President Roosevelt in his address ' asserted his belief that the "particu- j larly severe" disturbance on the New ' York^ Stock Exchange was for the i most part "due to matters not particularly confined to-the United States and to matters wholly unconnected with any Governmental action." The 1 startling feature of this portion of the speech was, however, his sugges- ] tion of another "rich men's consDiraev" contained in this declara tion: "It may well be that the determination of the Government, in which, gentlemen, it will not waver, to punish certain malefactors of great wealth has been responsible for something of the troubles, at least to the extent of having caused these men to combine to bring about as much financial stress as they possibly can in order to discredit the policy of the Government and thereby to secure a reversal of that policy so that they may enjoy the fruits of their own evil doings." He asserted ' that it is necessary to exercise a far more efficient control than at present over the business use of those vast fortunes, chiefly . corporate, which are used in interstate business." State action, he declared, could not produce "wholet some results," and he advocated national incorporation for corporations engaged in interstate commerce, J It.i iV. avowing m&i uie must, {jicssiug uccu -* was for a more complete control by t the Federal Government over the railroads "under the interstate com- ( merce clause, and, if necessary, under, < the post road clause of the Constitu- ] tion." i The President spoke of the inter- t state commerce law and the anti- ; trust law as experiments which had ' disclosed the necessity of improve- i ment or modification. He went at length into the difficulties of convict- j ing individuals for violations of busi- s ness regulation enactments compared 1 with the relative ease of procuring i verdicts against corporations, but as- 1 serted that the administration proposed to punish rich men wherever prosecutions looked promising. sHe i also took occasion to advocate once I more a national employers' liability |1 law of increased extent and stringency. > President Roosevelt spoke for forty minutes. His entire speech was one < of vigor and directness and cn mat- < ters of national importance. < In the following unequivocal lan- < guage the President answered the i law-defying corporations which have ; been creating Wall Street "panics" \ and through their special agencies 1 have been attempting to make it ap- 1 pear that the prosecution of monopolies is hurting business and under- 1 mining the Nation's prosperity: l "During the present trouble with ] the stock market I have, of course, i received countless requests and sug- l gestions, public and private, that I should say or do something to ease ; the situation. There is a world-wide < financial disturbance. It is felt in the bourses of Paris and Berlin, and ] British consols are lower than for a generation, while British railway securities have also depreciated. On ' the New- York Stock Exchange the i disturbance, has been peculiarly se- < vere. "Most of it I believe to be due to 1 matters not peculiar to ihe United States, and the most of the remainder < to matters wholly unconnected with < any Governmental action; but it may well be that the determination of the Government, in which, gentlemen, it ] will not waver, to punish certain malefactors of great wealth has been responsible for something of the trouble, I believe to the extent ?.f having Dies Buttoning Wife's Waist.

Once for all let it be said that as far as I am concerned and Cor the eighteen months of my Pres' Jency that remain there will be u change in the policy we have steadily pursued* cr let-up in the efforts to sepure the honest observance of the :*w, for I regard this contest as one :o determine who shall rule this free country?the people through their Governmental agents or a few ruthless. domineering men, whose wealth makes them peculiarly Jormidable because they hide behind breastworks pf corporate organization.

In the man of great wealth who has earned his wealth honestly and ^uses it wisely we recognize a good citizen of the best type, worthy of all praice and respect."Business can only be done under modern conditions through corporations, and our purpose is heartily to favor the corporations that do well. The Administration appreciates that liberal but honest profits for legitimate promoting, good salaries for able and right management, and dividends for capital employed, either in founding or continuing wholesome business ventures, are the factors necessary for successful corporate activity, and, therefore, for generally prosperous business conditipn. "All these are compatible with fair lealings as between man and man and rigid obedience to the law. Our aim is to help every honest man, every honest corporation, and our policy means, in the ultimate, healthy and prosperous expansion of business activity,- honest business methods and honest corporations." 1 ?

Although the Omaha pouch was valuable, that to Chicago confined a heavy shipment of cash from i Denver bank to one in Chicago, rhe shipment is said to aggregate nore than $250,000.

Philadelphia.?While the attention Df Edward Horner, a farmer between Collingswood and Merchantville, neai Camden, was diverted by a fire startid in his barn at 4 o'clock a. m., an issassin entered his house and with in axe murdered Mrs. Horner and the hired girl, an Italian named Vit toria Natoli. Mrs. Horner was sixty three years old. The Italian woman. Vittoria, was working on the farm with her husband, Tornaso, to whom she had been married a year ago. The detectives suspected a neMfln&jjivhand who had jeen discharged by Horper two weeks before. His name is Charles Gibson, and he is now in custody in Camden charged with the murder. It was found that the fiend who killed the women had also robbed the Horner home, carrying away two revolvers, some money and two gold watches. When Gibson was arrested one of the revolvers was in his basket and so were two pawn tickets, each for a gold watch. The tickets were taken to the pawnbroker, Joseph Rieder, of 12S Market street. Philadelphia, and the watches were recovered. Rieder was taken to Ca~nden, where he picked Gibson out of a long line of prisoners and identified him positively as me person wno naa pledged the watches. When Gibson's pockets were searched $14 was found in them. To Refund War Taxes.

"We Don't Pa Washington, D. C.?A significant legal action was begun in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, to enjoin Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and the other officers and the 2,000,000 members of the American Federation of Labor and several of its subsidiary organizations from using the boycott and socalled "unfair list." Van Cleave starts the suit on behalf of a large manufacturing company in St. Louis of which he is president, it having been-declared "unfair," so it is said, by the labor unions, but the significance of thp action lies in its being a test case, wherein Mr. Van Cleave, as head of the Manufacturers' Association, seeks to permanently enjoin organized labor from using the "unfair" or "we don't patronize" lists in its fight against firms and individ uals. 1W papers were niea nere m order that personal service might be immediately obtained against a large number of the labor leaders named in complaint, who are in Washington. The bill asks for a permanent injunction against Samuel Gompers .and Frank Morrison, of Washington; John V.

The complainant is the - Bucks Stove and Range Company, of St. Louis. Alleges a Conspiracy. | The plaintiff asks that the defendants be enjoined on nine special points, first'alleging a conspiracy unlawfully to injure its business. It is asked that the unions be enjoined from carrying on a conspiracy to restrain and destroy the business of the plaintiff; from agreeing or combining to interfere with its business or that of any other person, firm or corporation, or from boycotting or attempting to boycott or threatening to boycott the Dlaintiff or the plain tiff's business or attempting to interfere with the regular shipment, sale or trade in its goods. It is also sought to enjoin the unions from printing, publishing or distributing by mail any paper which contains the name of the plaintiff corporation un| der a "We Don't Patronize" or "Un' fair" heading or which contains any | statement that the plaintiff is or has ! been unfair; from publishing or cir[ culating in any way, in writing or orj ally, any statement to the injury of I the product of the plaintiff, or from representing to dealers or the public that the plaintiff's factory has been boycotted, and that its goods should not be dealt in.

Stirs St. Loais Unions. On the failure of the strike the International Union of Metal Polishers declared a boycott against the Bucks company and its product, inserted the company's name in its "unfair" list and published it in the union paper. The local union, No. 13, also joined in the boycott and gained its indorsement by the Central Trades and Labor Union, of St. Louis, and the Metal Trades Council, also of St. Louis, both subordinate unions of the American Federation. In November, 1905, at the annual convention of the American Federation in Minneapolis, the products of the company were placed on the "we aont-patronize list 01 tne reaeration, and its name was published in this list in the American Federationist in the June and July, 1907, issues. The complaint sets forth that by reason of the federation's great membership and wide distribution and its extraordinarily complete and powerful organization, the placing of the company's products on its "we-don'tpatronize" list injured greatly the complainant's business. LABOR TO FIGHT. Gompers Says Manufacturers Sought to Delay Criminal Action. Washington, D. C.?The injunction proceeding brought in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia against the officers of the American Federation of Labor by the National Manufacturers' Association will be answered hv a rnnsniranv suit from the labor organizations against the Manufacturers' Association. The authority for this statement is President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, who said that he was authorized to instruct the attorneys of hi4 organization to prepare the papers in the action. Another development in the corftest between organized labor and the Manufacturers' Association is likely to be an application to the Postoffice Department for a fraud order against the American Federationist. This is the organ of the American Federation of Labor that prints the "unfair list" against which an injunction is sought by the Manufacturers' Association. Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport, Conn., one of the attorneys of the Manufacturers' Association, took steps to bring the complaint to the attention of the Postoffice Department. . . Prenident Gompers declares that the officers of the Manufacturers' Association began their suit hurriedly to forestall the criminal prosecution of themselves by the American Federation of Labor. He insisted that the American Federation has had under consideration plans for the prosecution of the Manufacturers' Association for some time, and that by some means President Van Cleave, of the Manufacturers' Association, learned of the Federation's purpose and brought the injunction proceeding to counteract the effect of the contemplated suit.

Columbus, O.?In a 15,000-word speech before the Buckeye Republican Club Secretary of War William Howard Taft outlined the national policies he advocates. This was his ^ initial utterance on this subject since he avowedly became a .candidate for the Presidential nomination. The Secretary's speech was a re- h affirmation of all of -the policies of ^ President Roosevelt in all matters of r the railroads, the trusts, pursuing the t( criminal rich with prosecutions and g curbing swollen fortunes. He advo- c cated a revision of the tariff, but not until after the next Presidential elec- t tion, and then' only as regards "ex- ^ ceasive schedules." Free trade, he ?, 3aid, wouid lead to disaster. ' p Throughout his long speech Sec- ^ retary Taft many time3 referred to utterances of William Jennings d Bryan, and took pains to* show at h great length that the Bryan policies j had not been taken over by Roosevelt g and that there were radical differ- v jnces in the forms of government pro- s posed by the two men. f No promise of an abandonment of ; any part of the Roosevelt anti-cor- a poration policy was given anywhere t In the Secretary's speech. Fully 10,300 of the 15,000 words were devoted 8 to explaining and justifying the r Roosevelt policies on three subjects c alone?the railroads, the trusts and t swollen fortunes. The concluding t paragraph was a eulogy of the Presi- n dent. Roosevelt's radical policies are t ' accepted by him in their entirety^ i EPITOME OF NATIONAL POLICIES ? EXPOUNDED BY SECRETARY TAFT I ? t All of the Roosevelt policies'for fi Government regulation of the rail- <3 roads, controlling the trusts, curbing t 'swollen" fortunes, are reaffirmed by the Secretary of War. ' c He favors extending the Rate law r oy amendments prohibiting over-cap- c itallzation of railroads, the purchase c of stock in competing lines and- the a alection of common directors by com-. ( peting roads, t \ He is opposed to Government ownership of railroads because it would t :ost $12,000,000,000toacquire them; ( they would not be managed effective- ( ly or economically, and a reckless s Dhief executive could use them to ( - control business and politics. ( He favors the criminal prosecution f and sending to jail of wealthy of- t fenders against the Rate law and the a A.nti-Trust law. N ,a He defends combinations of capl- 1 cal, declaring that, legitimately con- J ducted, they add to the prosperity of g fho rnnntrv T To curb swollen fortunes he would j not have the Federal Government c impose a graduated inheritance tax or an income tax until some exigency ? requiring additional revenues arose. c ' Roosevelt, instead of being an ad- c 'vocate of socialistic measures, he de- \ clares, would stop the growth of So- w sialism by demonstrating the Govern- a ment's ability to stamp out evils t which have caused social unrest. f Of the Wall Street slump he asserts, "it is not true that the Presi dent is engaged In a raid against all corporations." j He denies Roosevelt has "outBryaned" Bryan, claiming many radical differences in the policies favored , by the two men. Of the tariff, he says free trade "will certainly lead only to disaster," * but that it is the duty of the Repub- ^ lican party to prevent excessive tariff rates. There are many excessive . schedules, but no attempt at revision v j should be made until after the next Presidential election. ^ - TAFT STARTS ON WOIfLD TOUR. t Bound For Manila to Attend Opening of First ( Philippine Assembly. c Washington, D.

The announcement that a petition or the dismissal of the suit had been iled with the Superior Court had ieen anticipated on account of many irivate conferences which had been ;eld between opposing counsel. The reason for the petition for inwiiflnAl #><-? lrnAwn of + V> n aouiic^ai, uiauv nuunu ov i,uw learing by Mr. Chandler, was the beief that success along the lines deired could not be obti *d and the mprofltableness of any immediate reult of a decision in favor of the next riends in the exact issue as now ramed, compared with the burdens ,nd disadvantages to be endured ioth before and after such a decision.
