RECORD PROVES CHARGE

Never Heard Harvester Discussed by
Cabinet, Quotes Other Members
'Of Roosevelt's Cabinet to Some Effect,
and Proves by Record He
Was Not In Country at Time.
President Taft issued the following
personal statement from the
White House on Monday:
"Mr. Roosevelt, in his speech at
Worchester, as reported by the public
press, referring to the Harvester
Trust suit, said:
"As a matter of fact, Mr. Taft was
a member of my Cabinet when this
identical case was fully dis cussed before
the Cabinet and he cordially approved
the action taken; and, indeed,
as a matter of fact, my memory is

there should bp no prosecution of the
Harvester Trust pending the Investigation
into the trust by the bureau of
corporations.'
"Mr. Roosevelt's memory is very
much at fault. I am authorized to
say by 'Mr. Root and Secretary Wilson
both of whom were members of
tho Cabinet at the time, that they
havo 110 recollection whatever of ever
hearing the prosecution of tho Harvester
matter discussod in the Cabinet.
And Mr. Root is very certain
that he never saw or heard of Mr.
Herbert Knox Smlfh's letter to Mr.
Roosevelt under date of September
21, 1907, on tho subject.
"I am able to say the same thing.
So far a" my recollection goes, I
never heard tho Harvester Trust matter
mentioned in any Cabinet meeting
that I attended; and I cannot be
mistaken in tho statement that I never
saw or knew of Mr. Herbert Knox
Smith's letter of September 21 to the
President, until after my administrator.
had begun and the time when the
question of tho prosecution came up
in 1910 or 1911. And I never saw
or read tho letter until about two
months ago.
"This correspondence showB that
the subject matter of the prosecution
of the International Harvester Company
came before Preaident Roopevelt
August 22, 1907, which Is tho date
of his letter to Attorney General
Bonaparte; that Mr. Herbert Knox
Smith's ldtter discussing the question
and advising against suit, was dated
September 21, 1907 and that Mr.
Smith's letter was forwarded by direction
of President Roosowelt, under
date of September 24, to the Attorney
General with direction to the Attorney
General to bring the letter to
the President that week, to talk over
the matter.

I SCENE OF WILD PANIC
?
THE GREAT FLOOD PROVES TOO
MUCH FOR THE LEVEE.
The Water is Now Rapidly Hushing
Through the Inundated Country.
Near Torras, la.
Rushing about the streets of Torras,
La., like persons left bereft of
their reasons, women screaming and
men yelling as they hurried into their
homes and grabbed their children,
and the stampeding of animals, were
some of chaotic conditions that prevailed
in Torras Tuesday night when
the alarm was sounded that the levee
at the junction of the Old and Mississippi
rivers had given away.
Although it had been known that
several weak spots had developed
where the break occurred, little attention
had been paid to this by the 1
citizens of Torras and they were ]
caught unprepared. Within a few ,
minutes after the break had become
known, the townspeople were thrown
into a panic, which continued for two
hours before any semblance of quiet !
was restored. i
Few thought of going toward the ?
crevasse and making an effort to
stop it, safety apparently being the
only thought in their minds. Be- '
fore the streets were entirely submerged
a majority of the Inhabitants
had sufficient time to reach places of *
safety. Three hundred women and
children were placed aboard a 1
freight train which had just arrived
in Torras. These were taken to a ?
point below there. 1
Practically the remainder of the 1
population spent the night on the *
levee along the embanament of the Texas
& Pacific railroad and in the
railroad station, which were out of <
roach of the flood, being built on high I
piling. No loss of life has been re- 1
ported, but it is feared that some I
fatalities may occur in the interior as 1
the water is rushing through the t
country so rapidly that sufficient <
warning may not have reached those 1
living in districts remote from wire ]
communication. <
N. P. Phillips, head of the levee
board at thip place, was on the levee (
when it began to crumble. He gave j
the alarm and called for aid but there 1
was no material available. Finding f
himself powerless, he ran to his own \
home to save what ho qpuld of his
property. Mr. Phillips' place is in ,
the path of the crevasse waters and
he saved practically nothing. Many ^
of his horses, mules and cattle were
drowned. I
The breach this mornfng is about
140 feet across. An army of men
was rushed there las* night and ho- *
roic efforts are being made to check *
tbo How of water, but apparently '
there is little hope of a successful
fight, at least until an enormous '
damage has been done to the sugar 1
cane fields which lie directly in the <
path of the flood. If these efforts ]
fail millions of dollars of loss will i
be caused by the devastation of some 1
of the most valuable farms and plan- 1
tations in the state. 1
Eleven parishes with a total popu- '
lation of a quarter of a million will <
eventually bo partly inundated by i
the new break.
Food supplies haive been massed
near Torras by the government in
anticipation of a break there and <
those in charge of the work are pre* i
paring to give relief to 40,000 persons
in this vicinity. Four hundred
tents have been ordeded from the ,
war department and every available
sraft has been secured by the gov

EXCHANGING VILE EPITHETS.

Beckham niul Watterson Are Abus(
ing Eacli Other.
A dispatch from Louisville, Ky.,
says the fend between farmer Governor
Beckham, who has espoused
the cause of Woodrow Wilson In Kentucky,
and Henry Watterson has
reached the stage of personalities.
Under the heading, "A Diseased
Liar" and "Tho Fulmination of a
Coarse Blackguard and an illiterate
Blatherskite," the Courier-Journal
this morning prints an attack on
Watterson made by Beckham in another
paper Thursday afternoon commenting
by way of introduction to
what Beckham said:
"The following rigamarote of dirt,
malevolence and lying was yesterday
put forth by the most infamous member
of tho llrm of Daly, Bockham &
Co."
Accompanying the article was an
editorial by Mr. Watterson in tho
samo vein. The attack on Mr. Wat
terson by former Governor Beckham
is no less severe, charging him with
"deliberate and wilful falsehood,"
"being devoid of all sense of honor
and wanting in every instinct of a
gentleman."

APPEAL TO VOTERS
TILLMAN ASKS RE ELECTION BY
THE DEHOCRATS
SENATOR IS GRATEFUL
For Past Support and Expresses Ilia
Gratification for the Liove and
Confidence That Have Been Given
liiin by the People During His
Dong Political Career.
We have received from Senator
B. R. Tillman an address to the people
of South Carolina asking their
support in his race for re-election to
the United States Senate. Senator
Tillman has been advised by
bis medical advisors not to take the
Btump, as he would like to do, and
adopts this method of reaching the
Democratic voters of the State. The
Senator's address to the people is
as follows:
Eo the People of South Carolina:
Twenty-two years ago I asked you
to elect me to the office of governor.
You did it, after a very hot campaign
In which I spoke in every
county in the State. Two years later
[ asked for reelection. You gave me
the office a second time by an overwhelming
majority. After four
rears of service in the governor's ofQce,
I asked you to elect me to the
senate, and again, after a heated
canvass, you placed mo In the office
[ now hold.
I have held this office for nearly
lighten years, and I am asking you
to relecet mo to it, although my
health is broken and I am no longer
the strong and vigorous man I once
was. I have a ripe experience and
thorough knowledge of the working |
>f the government, and have many
warm personal friends in the departments
and in both branches of
jongress.
I came to the senate in a cloud of
Dbloquy on account of newspaper (
ibuse at home. I have fought my
way in spite of it and have lived to
*ee most of the newspaper ftipn in
:he press gallery my friends.
By long service and hard work, I
have won an enviable position In |
Washington, and the State is entitled ,
:o whatever benefit I have in places
3n the committees which can only
be obtained by such service.
I have flattered no man and feared
no man in debate, and I have a
3trong desire to "die in harness,"
Cor sentimental reasons only.
I have no words that ean express
my appreciation and gratitude for
tne confidence and love you have giv?n
mo in all those years. If I did
not feel that my experience and Intimate
acquaintance with public affairs
will enable me to give acceptable service
in the futuro, I wohld not ask.
reelection at your hands, but conLent
myself with the full measure
nf the honors you have given me already.
When I first came into public life
i met a storm of opposition, which
was very bitter and Intense. It required
intense and aggressive action
to overcome it; and being combative
by nature, I fought with all my might
for thoso things I thought were right,

policies, my utterances and my actions.
Amid this exciting contest, many
things were said and done on both
sides that, perhaps, had hotter been
left unsaid and undone. Men are
but human, and when fired by strong
convictions, they speak and do things
which they afterward regret. As God
is my judge, I never said anything
but trut.^, or did anything as governor
or as senator, I did not believe to
be of the public welfare. As I look
hack over my career, I can see mistakes
and blunders, plenty of them,
hut they wero honest blunders, and
I have never permitted selfish ambition
or petty revenge to control my
actions. I have tried to bo senator
of all the people, as I was governor
of the whole Stato and my ambition
has been, In the senate, to give the
people the best service of which I
was capable.
Owing to my poor health and in
accordance with the advice of my
physician, I shall not make any
speeches during the canvass this summer.
All of the old men In the
Stato have already heard me speak,
and if there are any young ones who
have not and desire it, I shall take
pleasure in mailing such pamphlet
copies of some of my best speeches
which I have yet on hand. Nothing
would delgiht me more than to bo

faco to face, and it saddens mo to
think that I shall never havo this
pleasure again.
I shall hope that the people of
South Carolina will not displace me
by voting me out, but that in some
way you will indicate a wish for
mo to retire from this position because
of your belief that I am no I
longer physically capablo of perform-)
ing the duties of the office. Tho sen-|
atorship has always been regarded
by me as a sacred trust, and I knew
you wanted mo to surrender it, I

A later dispatch says Woodrow
Wilson's long lead over Champ Clark
and Judson Harmon in Saturday's
idential preference precinct primary
was increaded Saturday night by further
returns from the State at large.
Out of about one-half of the State
receive up to midnight Wilson followers
are assured of control of a
sufficient number of county conventions
to give the New Jersey governor
296 votes in the State convention out
of total of 623; Harmon had 83 and
Clark 26.
Should this proportion hold out

bo about four times as many delegates
as Harmon and Clark would
have put together. Claris made a
very poor run. The election gives
Wilson tho 4 0 votes from Texas.

Representative Albert Burleson of I
Texas, chairman of the Democratic I

sachussetts for Gov. Wilson until the I
polls closed, said of the primary re- I
suit: J
"The situation in Massachusetts /
was anomalous. The candidates for |
delegates at large and the district
delegates who were elected were
pledged to Gov. Foss for nomination.
On the ballot each name is followed
by this notation, 'Pledge to Gov. Eugene
N. Foss for president.'
"Of all the candidates for delegate,
as far as I know, only one, George
Fred Williams, was an outspoken
Clark partisan and he was defeated
by a vote of more than 2 to 1. Before
the primary took place it was
decided that Gov. Foss' name should
not go on tho ballot for presidential
j preference.
"Many Democrats, knowing that
jthat tho Foss delegates were sure of ...?
election, went into tho Republican
primaries and voted for Roosevelt.
jTho vote as between Clark and Wil!
son is not tho expression of the maiorltv
of the MnssnohiiBetts Demo
crats, and the delegates at large do
not so consider it and so declared in
advance.
"A poll of thirty-five Democrats
elected as delegates from the State
shows that a considerable majority of
them will voto for Gov. Wilson, If
Gov. Foss is not a candidate before
the convention at Baltimore. Mayor
Fitzgerald of Roston will head the
Massachusetts delegation and he has
repeatedly said that ho will not vote
