Tariff Rerision
Without Violence

By Roosevelt.
Ligunspott, led., Sept. tilt.?
President Roosevelt and party
reached Logansport ut 7.15 this
morning v\ith the scioechiug of
factory whir-ties and shouts of a
great crowd a?*euib!od at the Wabash
station to greet him. The
party was driven to the high
school. When the speaker's
stands was reached the- ruin was
coming down hard. A great
tnauy umbrellas were raised and
cries from those in the rear who
could not see the president induced
him to say: "1 will make a
bargain with you?I won't have
en umbrella over my head if you
won't have one over you."
The crowd laughed and a great
many ofd-he umbrellas were lowered.
The president'* speech dealt
with tariff revision. lie said
that no nation can stand radical
readjustments of tariff schedules
at short intervals. Continual
sweeping changes cannot be but
disastrous, but where the industrial
needs hliift as rapidly as they
do here, where we often live in
one year what Europe does in
ten, we neod the application of
established principles to changed
conditions. We n. list readjust
without resorting to a violent surgical
operation, the dread o'-which
Mlone would paralyze the business
of the country. Wo must s >lve^
this problem with partisanship us
a secondary^ consideration. Con .
tinning, the president said: "My
personal preference would he for
action which should tie takon only
after preliminary inquiry by and
upon the findings of a body of experts
of such high character and
ability tliut they could be trusted

Kow Yerk,Sept. 23.?The train
from Derby, Conn., with Win.
Hooper Young on hoard arrived
at the Grand Ceutral station ut
9:30 o'clock this morning. There
was a crowd of 400 or 500 at the
station when the train came in.
The crowd was orderly and no demonstration
against Young was
made.
Young was led to a closed carriage
and accompanied by Detective
Sergeants Hughes and Findlay
and William F. S. Hart, the
prisoner's counsel, who came
down from Derby with the party,
was driven to police headquarter*.
The prisoner plainly was in a
condition bordering on collapse
wheu led up the steps into headquarters.
Shortly after Lawyer
Hart appeared and said in reply to
inqiiries:
"Young is an innocent man.
The police believe they have got
him on an alleged confession
which he made before he had legal
counsel. It will be proven
that \r?ung was not even an accomplice."
At the close of an intervi?w lio
tweon Detective Ctipt. Titus uud
Youug, Capt. Titus said Young
had made the following statement:
"About three weeks ago 1 met ,
a man named Charles Simpson
Eiling in Central park. lie ae
costed me. Wo talked and got <
acquainted, though ho was a do- I
generate. After tliut he callod on t
1110 several times at my tlat.
"On the night Mrs. Pulitzer
died Eiling anil 1 met her at \
Broadway and Sixty-fourth street ?
by appointment 1 had made. Wo J
went to the flat together. I went i
out for some whiskey after we got t
there, and left Eiling and two men t
alone. When I got back I found \
Mrs. Pulitzor lying across the bed j
with a gag in her month. Eiling 1
had gone. 1
"1 ripped open her clothing
and moved her hands back and I
forth over her head to induce J
respiration. When she did not I
breathe I put my hand under her i
waist and felt her heart. It was
not beating. Then I decided to
notify the pelice but thought that
instead of calling a policeman, to
go to police headquarters, which
I thought was in the city hall. 1
got on attain and started down
town and on the way I got to
thinking what a lot of disgrace
tho affair would bring on me and
my father. That made me decide
to get rid of the body.
1 took a long knife and cut into I
the body, intending to cut tho
I body up so I could get it into a
trunk. When I made the first
cut the odor wa6 so-awful that 1
could go no further.
Capt. Titus said that tho prisoner
described Kiling as being a man
about k2.'? years old, smoothe face,
five feet seyen inches in height,
with a "bright, clear look in his
eyes, pale face and wearing dark
clothes with a straw hat when last
seon.'"
