TAFT EXPLAINS TRIP. His Tour to Teach Him People's Views.-Praises Ruler of the Senate. Boston. Mass.. Sept. 14.--President Taft h fir-t utterance since congress adjourne.i was made in this city to night .:efore 2.000 men representing -he combIined business interests of Boston-. The occasion was a banquet ziven in Mechanics' hall, the largest auditorium in Boston. by the Boston chamber of commerce. recently form ed by a merger of thle Boston Mer -chants' association and the Associa ted Board of Trade with the cham ber. and it marked the begimiing of the president's 13,000 mile trip through the country. The features.of the president's ad dress were :his endorsement of the ,proposition to establish a central bank in connection with currency re :form, his words of high praise of Sen ator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Is land, head of the national monetary -commission. and his repudiation of -any attempt to start a sectional strife in the country such as tihat which he attributed to Gov. Johnson in "call 1ing upon the West to organize against the East." Mr. Taft began his speech by con rratulating Bostoin on a union in one organization of all her business men. "It insures a concentration of influ enee that must make for good," he oommented. Mr. Taft said he was grateful for the hospitable reception whi6h he had received on the north shore of Massachusetts during his va cation and to-night had this to say of his Western trip: Cui Bono. "I am on the eve of beginning a journey of 13,000 miles in length, which will enable me to see tens and hundreds of thousands of my fellow eitizens, and enable them, I hope. to ,ee me. Occasionally I hear a query why I s;hould start on such a trip, and 'What particular good does it do to anvbodv?' Well, it certainly is not :Ging to be a pleasure trip, althongh I shall enjoy it. It will involve much hard work and a great deal of mental -?ort t think of things to say and lo say them simply and clearly. so .hat t:ey can be understood. On the other hand. it will certainly give me a very much more accurate impression as to the views of the people in the section~ whiich I visit. It wviil bring UJoselV :o mne the needs of particular * eetiene. far as5 national legisla n. an~d executive action are con eerned, and I believe it will mnake me a wiser mnau and a better public offi teer.. I aua to be able to explain to the people some of the difficulties of zovernment and some of the prob ~ems for solution from the standpoint -of executive and legislator as dis -tinguishied from that of the honest but irresponsible critic. Personal toach betwveen the people and the men xvwhom .they temporarily del ;'ate poiwer o feourse conduces to a better undePrstanding betwxeen them. -'Your chairman has made some reference to a number of subjects to which t:e attention of congress may well be directed. In the first place ihere is the monetary situation. While it is probable that the Vree land bill, passed by last congress, would aid us i case of another fi nancial crash. it is certain that our . banking and monetary system is a patched-up affair sartisfied no one. .The matter has been referred by con gress to a monetary commission which has been~ studying with interest and enthusiasmi the financial and banking system of the great governments of Europe. I: is quite apparent from the statements of Vrneeland. head of ~he committee on bankig and cur rency in the house, and from the con versation of Mr. Aldrich. ehairman sf the monetary commission, and of ihe finanee committee of the senate. thait the trend of tihe minds of the monaetary comnmisswon is toward some seQ of arr'angement for a central ,b < ssue~ which shall cont'ol the re se:ve and exercise a power to meet and contrl the casual stringency which fromi time to time will come in the circulating medium of the coun tiry and the world. Mr. Aldricih states * that there are two indispensable re quirements in any plan to be adopted mnvolvinz a central bank of issue. The one is that the control of the *monetary system shall be kept free from Wall street influences and the .her that it shall not be manipulated . for .political purposes.'' ~DE'MOCRACY'S HOPE. Bryan Points Out; Party's Road to Victory Is the Tarifi Plank. Dallas. Tex., Sept. 14.--Denouncinlg :rim who would violate a party pledge, 3Amanded b)y the voters of his party, as- an emblezzler of power. William J. & vaai outlined his views a.s to the tariff betore a large audience here to Mr. Bryan 's subject was 'Demoe r-ev and the Tariff."' He empha N, Z f, 11 le a-. *L taor and! si-ressnen nemhg b)und by Ia: ,form-. sayinz he wouli later suggest a formn for such a plank. "If all the Democrats in the sen ate and house had voted against ev ery proposed decrease, we might have madeourfight next year on the party's record without making a specific dec laration on items of schedule," said Mr. Bryan, "but in view of the fact that Democrats in both the senate and the house differed as to the interpre tation of the Democratic platform and as to the rates that should be imposed umder the various schedules I believe that it is necessary for our platform to be specific and empbatic. "If we expect to secure control of congoress we must convince the pub lie that we will. if entrusted with the power. favor material reductions. Un less our candidates for congress can agree ,before the election they are not likely to agree after the election. If each Democratic candidate will state his position,the voters can elect a rep rese,tative who will give expression to their views. and I am much more anx ious that the representative shall re flect t1he wishes oJ( his constituents than I am that he shall agree with my opinion. Mr. Bryan concluded his address with an extended argument in favor of free ra.w material. - When asked if he would attend the reception to be given Samuel Gomp ers. president of the American Feder ation of Labor. on his return from abroad, Mr. Bryan said: "That depends ~upon the date.'' When told that it was October 1, ie said: "Impossible. That is our 25th wed ding anniversary.' DESPONDENT BANKER SUICIDES Head of Union Trust Company, John W. Castles, One of Most Prom inent Men in New York. Ne,w Yrk. September 13.-John W. Castles. president of the Union Trust Company. of this eity. capitalized at $1.00Q.000. a -director in other well known corporations. and prominent in club and social life in this city and the South, cut his throat from ear to ear in the (4rand Union Hotel this af ternoon and was f6und dead stretched across a bed to-night. He had been i-i ill 6iealth for some time. and his suicide is ascribed solely to a nervous breakdown and not to financial t rou bles. His b)ody~ was discov.ere?d about 9 o'(lock to-night by his brother. Bur ton S. Castles. who, having become aarmedl at Mr. Cias tles' failure to re turn home from the bank, ~began a search through the hotels of the city. Arriving at the Grand Union. at 42d street and Park avenue, he found that Mr': Castles ihad registered there under his own name at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon, and had gone immedi ately to the room assinged to him on the second floor. As his body was found cold to-night, indications are that he ended his life soon after clos ig the door behind him. The body. dressed only in the under garments, was lyin g across the b)ed in the room, while on a table nearby was a bloody razar. with whieh he ended his life. Examination showed that he had severed both the windpipe and the carotid artery, but notwithstanding tais had made his way to the bed be fore he expired. The position of the razor leads to the belief that he stood before a mirror while slash'ing his throat. On a dresser near the bed there was an eight ounce bottle. unlabelled, but containing a pungent acid. Whether he 'had taken ony of this ,before cut ting his throat had not been ascer taned to-night. A physie-ian was summoned hastily after the body was It Still Cc Our great sale of the Dry Goods and Nctior We are disposing at Slaughter Houw Come to see us Our clerks are acc Our gcods are of Our prices are cut One Contin - Opposite th C;OOPER CUT! 1211 MAIl The police aid WneIr w e he 1 tofied and an inve4igation begIIn. Aeeording to his friends. Mr. fas tles was broken in health by over work, and had had little connection with the Union Trust Company since assuming the presidency of the inti tution on January 1. last. Mr. Castles' widow and two chil dre-n are in 'the Adirondacks. where they ha(e been spending the summer. She was notified of her husband 's death to-night. Coming originally from the South. where ;he was well known in Texas, and Louisiana. Mr. Castles moved to New York to assume the presidency of the Guaranty Trust company sev eral years ago. But in the latter part of last year he resigned this position and on the opening of the new year stepped in as head of the Union Trust Company. Do You Want a Farm?
