HELPED TRUSTS Herman Ridder Says President Taft Was Led Astray by Them TRADE WAS IMPENDING Between the United States and Canada, Because of Blunder iu Paper Schedule?Head of Publishers' Association Says President's Mistake May Cause Retaliation. President Taft apparently was led into a serious blunder in the closing days of the recent session of congress when he changed his attitude 011 the print paper schedule, according to an open letter addressed to the chief executive and signed by Herman Kidder of New York, president of the American Newspaper Publishers' association. Mr. Ridder's letter, written some time ago, was made public a few days ago, following its indorsement by the International and Daily Press association. Mr. Ridder's letter follows: "To the President: "The full text of your address at Winona, Minn., 011 the tariff bill passed just come to hand. With the utmost respect we submit that your statement respecting the paper schedule shows that you could not have correctly read or understood what the print paper paragraph contained, as it paused the house of representatives. "You were apparently misled by <4<icifrinin<r men Itlfn 3 KPrioilK bluil der when, in the closing days of the tariff conference, they induced you to reverse your previous attitude on print paper, and changed your notions of what the Mann committee recommended and of what the house of representatives had approved. The Mann committee, after a 10-months investigation marked by unusual thoroughness, reported that a rate of %Z would cover the difference in cost of production at home and abroad. -ajbs .{[ajniosqu posdoad ijbjp aqT guarded American paper mills against the serious conditions which the advance by the tariff conferences has since precipitated. "The fixing of the rate on print paper at $3.85 per ton, which you advised, has decided the Province of Quebec to prohibit the exportation of its pulp wood and many American paper mills must close or move to Canada to obtain their supplies of raw material. The country is now in a iair way tor a -.rauo ?ai with Canada, because of your apparent failure to read correctly the Mann committee's recommendations. We are threatened with an industrial disturbance which will involve business interchanges with Canada amounting to $285,000,000 per annum. "We sincerely trust that you can find some method of rectifying the mistake into which you were led. We fully appreciate the difficulties and responsibilities of your exalted office, and we believe you are trying to do the best you can. We know that you must rely upon others for your information. We feel that every citizen is under obligation to help you. Therefore, we write this letter to you. "Very respectfully, "Herman Ridder, "President, Newspaper Publishers' Association."

S. J. Sanders and His Brother Arrested in Newport, N. C., for Assassination of Fearless Officials. At Beaufort. X. C.. the grand jury Monday brought in a bill of murder against S. J. Sanders, who had been arested for the death of II. Z. Newberry of Newport, X. C., who was shot to death Saturday night at the door of his home there. Judge Guion ordered the sheriff to summon 200 talesmen in order to get a jury. The case is set for Friday at 10 a. m. Sanders is locked in the Carter county jail, while his brother, D. F. Sanders, also is under arrest, held as an accessory. The prisoners were carried to Beaufort by Sheriff Hancock, after a coroner's jury at Newnort had returned tn verdict that Mayor Newberry's death resulted from gunshot wounds inflicted by j S. J. Sanders and that his brother also was implicated in the shooting. The assassination of Mayor Newberry was the direct outcome, it is said, of the prosecution of "blind tiger" cases. The mayor recently had had several persons arrested for illegally selling whiskey and four of the men, including the two Sanders brothers, were bound over for court at Beaufort next Monday. It is alleged threats have been made against the mayor's life and after his I assassination Saturday night suspicion was directed to the Sanders ! brothers. Great excitement prevailed in Newport after the tragedy occurred Saturday night. Requests for blood-1 hounds were sent to Tarboro and the road in front of the mayor's home was roped off in hope that the dogs might be able to reaciiy pick up the scent and lead the authorities to the assassins. The dead man's wife was ill in bed at the time of the murder and his little daughter stood by his side when he was shot. Word of the shooting was sent to Heaufort and County Solicitor Abernethv, accompanied by Sheriff Hancock, and a coroner's jury, went to Newport in a special train. Upon arrival of the train at Newport the Sanders brothers were arrested and later the coroner's jury ordered them held. TO MARK THEIR GRAVES. Northerners to bo Honored "Who Stood by the South. A special from Aiken says Mr. C. K. Henderson is receiving subscriptions for a fund to erect a monument to mark the grave of the Rev. S. P. T. Fields and his wife, whose remains lie in unmarked graveB in the cemetery of the Methodist church in that city. The Rev. Fields was for many years a resident of the city. He was in Aiken during the reconstruction period. Coming from the North at this time, it was but natural to suppose that he would align himself wtih the Republican sympathizers, but instead he stood firmly by the side of the white people and was a leading factor in the ranks of the Southern whites in '76. Now his remains lie in an unmarked grave. His relatives are poor and unable to erect monuments to these good people, and consequently Mr. Henderson is endeavoring to raise a sufficient amount to mark their graves.

Reed, wife of the superintendent of the mill, and two white men whose names could not be ascertained were injured. The latter two are believed to be fatally hurt.

CAN'T SCARE HM Union Men of Washington Discussing Gomper's Challenge LABOR CHIEF DEFIANT Great Greeting for Gompers, Whi Has .Just Returned From a Trip t< Europe?He Makes a Great Speech in Which He Ably Defends th< Freedom of Speech and Press. The Washington Herald says th< Knignts of Labor of that city, aftei participating in one of the most re markable demonstrations ever ac corded a returning leader on Wednes day of last week, are now awaiting < decision of the court of appeals ii the noted Gompers-Mitchell-Morri son contempt case and in discussing the virtual challenge to the court: uttered by Samuel Gompers on thi platform at Convention hall Wednes day night. After speaking of th< labor candidates in Europe. Mr Gompers said: "But we are passing through ; crucial period in our own country I refer to the instance possibly ii your own minds tonight. One o the speakers, I believe it was Mr De Nedrey, referred to au impend ing court decision. Well, I was un der the impression that this was ti be rendered a week ago, but I un derstand that bereavement in tn< family of one of the honorable judges delayed it for one week, thought that week to have bceu u] today. }3y one of our papers I sc that probably the decision is to b< rendered tomorrow. "All I can say, and all .any on can say with becoming dignity an* understanding of the gravity of th situation and the care with whicl one must use words, is that I ar sure that nothing I might utter to night would influence in any way i decision which probably has alread; been reached and for the delivery o which the judges are but awaitlnj an opportune moment. "I have the greatest respect fo the judiciary of our country. I hav confidence in their integrity, no mat ter what their decision may be. know that they are tfien, numan oe inge, and just as liable to err as an other man on earth, and I say thi with respect not only to the thre justices of the district court of ap peals who have no doubt alread reached their decision, but with ref erence to the judiciary generally. ' I have no heBitency in saying tha it is my conviction that not only dl Judge Wright err, but that he wa prejudiced against the men who wer before him. "It has been hinted that highe courts may take cognizance of all th facts in the case and treat it, if s aesirea or aeemea proper, in me na ture of original proceedings, modify ing the sentences of the lower court "I do not want to be a hero or ; near-hero; I have no desire to b bombastic or defiant, but I say thi adNTisedty and with knowledge o the full responsibility it conveys that in so far as I am concerned, an< I think I also speak for John Mitch ell and Frank Morrison?I believ the imposition of a lighter sentenc will not alter the case one jot: Eith er we have free speech and free pres in this country?or we have not. Th imposition of a fine of one cent o imprisonment of one hour for th' utterance of a man's conscience an< faith would amount to a denial o th*' right of free specch and fre< press. "I shall not attompt to argue th< case. I content myBelf with th? tK>ld. plain utterance that the consti tutional guarantee of free speech an< free press were put in the constitu tion for a purpose. It was not ueces sary that we be given this ittivilegi for the purpose of singing the praise: of the powers that be. No mai needs a constitutional guarantee ii Russia to sing the praises of th< czar. The history of the human rac< was full of tyranny and the denia to the people of the right of express ing by mouth or in press their opin ions. When our people establish ed a government they rememberer these and recalled that they hat omitted this vital question in fram ing our constitution. Therefore, th< first amendment to that instrumeni was that guaranteeing the right o freedom of speech and press. "That means something. We dr not need this right to please those in authority, those entrusted for the time being with the authority ol government. It was guaranteed thai men might feel free to say things that displeased, and demand for reform coming from the people is generally always distasteful to those entrusted with governmental authority. "We do not want to be immune from responsibility for our statements and if that has been said which is treason or libelous, then try ue for what we have said; but wc deny to king or to court the right to enjoin us in advance from expressing the views we have.. "Whether the court of appeal.' shall sustain the appeal or whether it shall not will make a vast difference. If our contention is maintained, we 6hall have fought over again and shall have?to use an Americanism? 'cinched' the right of free speech and free press for all time. "Should the court take a different view and sustain even iti part th* sentence of Judge Wright?it does not make any difference whether the sentence is for twelve months, nine months, six months or three minutes, two minutes or one minute?the fight must go on until freedom ot speech and press is obtained.

' END SEEMS NEAR The Passing of Dr. James H. Carlisle,, The State's Grand Old Man. HAS DONE A GREAT WORK For the Educational Interests of South Carolina and the South as President of Wofford College, Which Office He Pilled Over Forty Years. The following bulletin was Issued Tuesday afternoon from Spartanburg j by the attending physician of Dr. J. H. Carlisle: "The condition of Dr. James H. Carlisle is extremely critical, and un'ess something unforeseen happens his passing away can only J be delayed a little wnue. isigneaj H. R. Black, M. D. This bulletion was followed by a dispatch to The News and Courier Tuesday afternoon which said Dr. James H. Carlisle, president emeritus of Wofford College, Is dying. It is thought he will not survive until morning, though he may last until Wednesday night. For several days it was known to the intimato friends and members of Dr. Carlisle's family that he was in a critical condition, though his condition did not become known to the public until a few days ago, when he had a severe fainting spell. Since that time he has been growing gradually weaker, and early thi3 morning he loBt consciousness. Up to this morning his mind was clear and active, except when he was seized with an attack of fainting. Wnen it became known Tuesday morning that Dr. Carlisle was dying all the members of his family and his relatives were summoned to his home, and they have remained at the home constantly waiting and watching for the end. In his last moments the great educator and man of God does not appear to suffer the least pain. He lies In his bed as quiet and peaceful as a sleeping child. Dr. Carlisle was elected president of Wofford College in 1875, and served until 1902, when he became president emeritus. Long before he became the president of the college he was connected with the college as professor of mathematics. When he resigned as president he did not give up active work, for he remained as member of the faculty, and gave lectures on astronomy and the Bible. Last winter he was forced to give up his class room work on account of the cold weather, and the condition of his health. The last time Dr. Carlisle delivered a public address was during the session of the Wofford College Sum mer School, when he made an interesting talk to the teachers on incidents connected with Washington's visit to South Carolina after being elected President. The commencement at W'offord last June was the first Dr. Carlisle had missed since 1854, when he was elected a member of the faculty. The absesce of his familiar face and figure was noticed and commented on by the people who for years have attended the commencements of the institution. Dr. Carlisle was indisposed during the commencement sea-i son and unable to attend. Dr. Carlisle is one of two survivors of the Ordinance of Secession. Several times during the last twenty years he was offered high offices in the nation and State, hut he declined to enter politics, his work being for the young men of the country. On the 80th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Carlisle hundreds of citizen of Spartanburg formed into Hue and marched to his home on the College campus and congratulated him on his birthday and thanked him for the influence of his life he had lived in Spartanburg, which the speaker of the occasion, J. Stobo Simpson, lirsq,, declared had been uplifting to the young men and men of mature years as well. RAN INTO STREET CAR Which was Demolished and Two Ladies Were Killed. At Columbus, Ga., Mrs. W. O.
