OBJECT TO WILSON ? WHAT THE NEW YORK SUN HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIM. ? REPLIES TO A LETTER From Captain W. K. Gonzales, Editor of the Columbia State, And Shows 'Very Plainly That It Prefers Roosevelt to a Democrat Who Will Make the Trusts Behave. # Under the caption of "To a Pal anetto Enthusiast," the New York Bun, which is owned and edited by Republicans, and Is one of the chief big business and trust organs of the country, publishes the following: To a Palmetto Enthusiast. Wo have a very high regard for the ability and integrity of the distinguished journalist who writes this letter, but the subject of it long ago Tan away with his Judgment, leaving a fervid, and almost passionate enthusiasm in its place: "To tho Editor of the Sun?Sir: The day following that on which Colonel Roosevelt sailed his hat Into tho ring, I was in Now York. Perhaps one man in 500 of those mot there regarded his effort for the nomination within bounds of reason. This morning I talkod with a friend Just returned from New York; he was 'thunderstruck at the result in New Jersey. For ten days he had been thrown with New Yorkers in ofllces and in clubs and had spoken to but one Roosevelt advocate. New Yorkers of the class my friend met are disposed to think any one can beat T?r?r>sr>vplt wlinm tho Democrats nom dnaie, but their Judgment la founded ?r> their personal desire. "Whether Colonel Roosvelt Is the next President depends upon the action of the Democrats at Baltimore. New York business men with large Interests have been Instrumental In boosting several Democratic aspirants with the object of weakening Woodrow Wilson. The work was well done; but for their Interest Wilson would have gone to Baltimore secure of 600 delegates on the first ballot. But did they count upon Roosevelt's being a Presidential candidate? I "Do New Yorkers have a defined hope that the easy going, colorless, old fashioned politician Champ Clark can prevail against the magnetism and whirlwind methods of Roosevelt ( ---Champ Clark, conspicuously championed by William R. Hearst? Or that the quiet Underwood of Alabama, bitterly antogonized by Bryan and earnestly supported by the Populist Tom Watson, and with no personal following outside the States touching Alabama, can outpoint Roosevelt before the people who have the votes In the doubtful States? Or that Governor Harmon, nearing his B'xty-elghth year, who has demonsi rated no strength outside of Ohio, and not a great deal in Ohio, is capable of tackling the man who has just run Taft off his feet? "Business men who have fought Woodrow Wilson for seven months would be wise In quickly realizing that they are confronted by a condition, not a theory, and In coming to a decision whether they prefer Roosevelt as President for an Indefinite time, or Wilson for the prescribed term. "Woodrow Wilson Is the one Democrat feared as an opponent by Thcodoro Roosevelt's supporters; they are good judges. "William E. Gonzales. a "Columbia, S. C., May 29." ' We need not consider the views of Mr. Gonzales as to other Democratic candidates than the god of his idolatry or his entertaining theory or assumption that but for the pernicious ; activity of New York business men our loyal and sympathetic friend in Now Jersey "would have gone to Raltlmoro secure of six hundred delegates on the first ballot." Mr. Gonzales seems to admit that the business mm of the East are opposed to Governor Wilson; and the purpose of his letter is to warn, exhort and command them to swallow Wilson or bo prepared to swallow Roosevelt. A bitter choice, must like choosing between apoplexy and paralysis. If such an election had to be made by business men, wo are afraid there Is small doubt that they would prefer tliq Colonel, dangerous as ho is. .Governor Wilson has disclosed poten'ialities, veleit.Ies and instances or moral dishonesty, of faithlessness to friends, of elastic "principles," of catering (though vainly) to the mob, an easy public virtue, so to speak, that has disappointed the hopes of many and stirred the distrust of more. He has not attended to his business as Governor. He has not been fortunate in his relations with legislators. In all his restless pil- ! primages of ambition he has shown himself a doctrinaire, willing to shift : his opinions, essentially a lecturer, i not a statesman, fit for Chautauqua i rather than the White House, the i college don trying to throw off his 1 ancient stiffness, not a man of the 1 world, not chastened by its rude con- i tacts, a bookish alien In politics, with 1 little actual experience of the trade 1 he is seeking to practice, with noli A SUBMARINE SINKS ? "VENDEMIAIRE" RISES AFOUL OF BATTLESHIP'S PROW. Twenty-Six IJves Lost in the Sixth Recent I)imisters to French Submarine Boats. During the practice maneuvers of the French fleet at seven o'clock Friday morning the battleship Saint Louis collided with the submarine Vendemiairo. The smaller craft immediately disappeared and is believed to have been cut In two and to havo carried to their death the crew of 2 6 men. The accident occurred between Aurigny Alderney, where violent tidal currents prevail. The bat- 1 tleship was steaming along slowly when the submarine appeared right { under the bows of the warship. There was no time to avoid a collision. The stem f the Saint Louis struck { the - submarine with terrific force, ' driving the little craft below the surface. The engines of the warship had been quickly reversed, but when she ' was brought to a stop the submarine had disappeared and only a thrashing 1 of the wator showed whore the under- 1 the-surface figh'ter had gone down. < The Vendemiairo was commanded by Lieutenant Prioul, a young ensign, < and had a crow of 25 men. She was J launched July 7, 1910, and was the 1 ninth vessel of the Pluvioso type add- J ed to the French navy. She was 167 feet length, with a beam of 16 feet. Admiral Kisel, maritime prefect of Cherbourg, hurried to the scene on board the destroyer Catapult*.*, accompanied by dispatch ooats and tugs and barges provided witn complete salvage apparatus. Word was received there that tho minister of marine, M. Delcasse, left Friday morning for Cherbourg. This latest loss to the French ncvy has caused groat distress, not only throughout the service, but among the public generally, which has been made so frequently to mourn naval disasters. No other navy has been so unfortunate in the matter of submarines. The Vendemiaire is the sixth craft of this typo to be lost by the French. There was a glimmer of hope Friday afternoon that some of tho Vendemialre's crew might survive, but owing to tho depth of the water in which she sank?2 5 fathoms?the general feeling is pessimistic. Tho wrecking vessels reached tho scene and preparations were made for an effort by divers to reach tho submarlno and attach chains to tho rings In her hull with the purpose of raising her. Tho maneuvers were those of tho third squadron, Tho submarines of the Cherbourg station had received orders to attack the warships and It was during one of these attacks that " ror of getting diroctly In the path of 1 the Saint Louis. ? ?

Under the caption of "Mirage", Capt. Gonzales replies to the New York Sun's article which is published an this page. Read both articles and you will see that Captain Gonzales conclusively answers the 8un. Here Is his answer: Mlrago. In Its comments upon Mr. Gonzales' letter, the New York Sun, than which exists no greater adopt in brilliant disregard of the obstacles of actualities, states its case against Govsrnor Wilson. Suffice to say that Mr. raft is the onj of the seven announcid candidates whom The Sun prefers for President, that it has announced io favorite for the Democratic nornnation, that Its opposition to Wilson jegan long before Mr. Roosevelt be :amo a candidate, and. that The Sun s now apparently In doubt whether it 8 better for "Business" to take Tedly with a prospect of breaking him to lull true with "Our Interests" in loublo harness, or to take Wilson, "a lookish alien in politics," who 1b certain not to say, in converse with a nagnate of Wall street, "You and I ire practical men." But it inclines to ako the former horn. Says The Sun: "Wo need not consider the views of 'Mr. Gonzales as 0 the other Democratic candidates han the god of his idolatry or his ntertaining theory or assumption hat but for the pernicious activity of *Jew York business men our loyal and sympathetic friend In New Jersey would have gone to Baltimore secure if six hundred delegates on the first lallot.' " It would be mighty refreshng if the brilliant Sun would bo loldly frank and tell us if the "enterainlng tneory or assumption" of Mr. Gonzales that New Yorkers furnished 1 fund for the purpose of fighting iVIIson's nomination, is true? The Sun was "on the inside" when the larvey-MacVeagh-Watterson-Tyler et il movement against Wilson was Iniiuguarated in the early winter. None if them has regarded It needful to liscuss the matter or methods of the 'ormation in financial circle?a va lation of the British "hollow square" ?for protection. In deed we, having 50tiie inside Information ourselves, nave been unable to goad these genlemen conspirators into mentioning .he subject. Again we quote The Sun: "According to Mr. Gonzales, Governor Wilson is 'the one Democrat 'eared by Roosevelt's supporters, rhls Is what the partisans of every )ther Democratic candidate will say their favorite. Said of Governor Wilson, it is deliciously absurd, if Mr. 3onzales will forgive the phrase." Forgiven before the ink was dry, ,ve feel sure, but we prefer evidence o the charmingly expressed disregard of facts. The Sun will probably ioncedo that the two most conspicu>us journalistic supporters of Colonel Roosevelt are Collier's Weekly and he Philadelphia North American. Collier's has said it would bo a pity o name Clark against Roosevelt because the Colonel loves a fight and vould bo painfully bored by the inacion of a campaign with the placid Movlr r\C nld viinrl r>r\ 1 i 11P n 1 J J tl I rv \J V. cut" v/l\* Wv\,? CV/? J [/WV4 |'V'i.vivi?i chool; Collier's regards Wilson as ho strongest Democrat named. Hear the North American of last "rid ay: "Our support will bo given wholcirnrtedly to Theodore Hooscvelt. Hut lir Democratic and independent eaders will believe us when wo say fiat there is nothing that we wish iiore than the nomination of Woodow Wilson as well as Theodore toosevelt. ITc is the Democrat who rould he Hoosevelt's most dangerous pponent; the one man whose name ;ill he put forward at Haltimore who ould remove the election of Heoseelt from the category of absolute rrtainties." The Sun's next door neighbor, The '> irorld, says Mr. Wilson is the one lemocrat to carry New York, New ersey and Connecticut against Thoo- 1 ore Kooseveit. i no ravening t oml f New York, Independent; and the pringfield, Massachusetts, Republian, have similar views. Are thoy or either of them "igorantly worshipping" ?Mr. Wilson? < ) It really "deliciously absurd" that < oosevelt's supporters regard Wilson 1 b tho strongest Democrat that can ( e brought against him? They tes- 1 fy that they do; what has The Sun < > submit to the contrary? And if i he Sun should intorview the first t fty supporters of Roosevelt found i i New York it would have further j vidence along that line. 1 Our contemporary's assertion that oosevelt would carry New Jersey gainst Wilson, is an assertion not i icrely lacking support but disproved t THE PARCEL POST HITCHCOCK SAYS IT WILL PASS DURING PRESENT SESSION. ?, Ihrovldes Weight Limit of Eleven Pounds, Service to bo on Both Rural and City Routes. Legislation providing for a general parcels post throughout the United States and its possessions, except tho Phlllipine islands, is practically certain to bo enacted by tho present congress, perhaps before the conclusion of tho session now in progress, is the opinion of the postmaster general, F. H. Hitchcock. lie has urged Incessantly upon Congress the desirability of domestic parcels post, because, among othor reasons, he believes it will aid substantially in the solution of the problem of the high cost of living. In a statement Saturday he expressed the hope that tho measure recently introduced by Senator Bourne, chairman of the committeo on postofflces and postroads, might bo crystalized into law. In tho judgment of the officers of tho postal service the Bourne bill represents the most scientific and business-like plan yet devised for a parcels cost. It provides for a parr eels service throughout tho country, both on rural routes and city carrier routes. It consolidates the third and fourth class of mail matter?a reform long advocated by tho postofflce department?and raises tho weight limit of parcels to 11 pounds, which is the limit of tho International post. The rate to be charged for articles carried In the rural route service and city carrier is five cents for the first fraction of a pound, and 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. For tho general parcels post service, which covers all mall transportation other than local by rural and city carriers, graduated rates would be established, based on distance. Six zones of distance would be established. The first would have a radical difference of 5 0 miles from the point of mailing; the second would include the area lying between 50 and 200 miles; the third that between 200 and 500 miles; tho fourth that between 500 and 1,000 miles; the fifth that between 1,000 and 2,000 miles, and the sixth distances beyond 2,000 miles. Tho rate for delivery within the first zone Is 6 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound, and 2 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. The rates would Increase for each additional zone, nntll in the sixth, they reach ? 1 O nnnta a nrtlin/1 U iiUlAl ill Uiii \J JL x wii wo cv I^v/Kiivif the rate now charged In the International parcels post. The rate on the consolidated third and fourth class mall matter Is fixed at 1 cent an ounce for not more than four ounces. Distinctive parcels post post stamps will be provided. MORE POPULAR IN RIG CITIES. Nearly Half of Postal Savings Deposits in Thiry-thrce Offices. Statements made public by Postmaster General Hitchcock show that $7,0.15,545, or a triflle more than j two-fifths of the postal savings deposits in the country have been In thirty-three cities having a population of 1 5 0,000 or more each. New York and Chicago, which rank first and second in population, occupy the 'same rank in postal deposits. The ten leading offices with the amount on deposit at each aro: New York, $976,769; Chicago, $951,062; Portland ,Ore., $13 6,105; St. Paul, $411,926; San Francisco, $395,904; Cincinnati, $367,622; Brooklyn,' $43S,192; Boston, $322,824; Kansas City, $300,711, and Los Angeles,! $255,461. by the logic of the record. The man 1 who wrested Jersey from two ma-! chines and a multitude of grafters by j 4 0,000 plurality, and after establish-, ing reforms and suppressing corrup- j lion, carries all but one county for j president against the concerted op-' position of a former United States senator and former State chairman, ! masters of the old machine, has established the right to claim support of Democrats and Independents of his State. And if Roosevelt can car-! ry New Jersey against Wilson, whom li would The Sun name to prevail ] against Roosevelt in New York, New ] Jersey and Connecticut?

STEAM ROLLER IS BUSY Delegates from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia Given to Taft , by Action of Republican National { Committee Which is in Session at ( Cliicago. j Twenty-four delegates from Alaba- 1 ma and Arkansas were added Friday 1 to tko Taft column by the action of j the Republican national committee on die so-called Roosevelt contests from other States. All contests presented 1 before tko committee, which meeting ( in Chicago, were decided in Taft's , favor and in all but two the decision of the committee was unanimous. On roll call test, apparent had , shown fourteen anti-Taft votes. ( The cases decided Friday were those of the six delegates at large and the two each in the First, Second, ( Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth congressional ^ districts in Alabama, and the four delegates at largo and the two each in the First and Second districts of Arkansas. In view of the bitter fight between the Taft and Roosevelt advocates, the meeting was surprisingly peaceful, although it opened with a contest which seemed to forecast a degree of friction. This, however, failed to materialize. The opening contest arose over a renewal by Senator Borah of Idaho of his motion of Thursday, which would permit only eight memKnra A f f Vi a <r? a *>-* I f f *-w* f a d d uvt o ui IUO VU1JLIUI1VIW IU UL'UlilllU U ^ roll call Instead of twenty, as provided by the existing rules. It was made plain very soon after this that oven though Mr. Borah's motion had boon tabled the majority intended to give the minority a roll call on demand on any question. Messrs. Penrose and Crane and others of the Taft faction repeatedly ( Joined Borah and his colleagues in the minority in asking for a roll call, and they always got it. \ The test vote came in the case of the Ninth Alabama district, in which the Taft delegates were seated by a vote of 3 8 to 15. These 15 were: Knight of California, DuPo-nt of Del- 1 aware, Borah of Idaho, Louden of Illinois, Burnkam of Kentucky, Wight of Louisiana (whose vote was cast by E. W. Thilberger), Kellogg of t Minnesota, Rosewater of Nebraska, Flannagon of Nevada( whose proxy c was held at that timo by Lucius N. J Littauer), Ward of New York, Capers of South Carolina, Thorson of South c Dakota, Monday of Tennessee, Loose 1 of Utah, and Biebor of District of Columbia.

The Roose- 8 velt contestants lost every case as 1 they did Friday.

J V Aft* '/j S H-' ; FIVE PERISH IN PIT IN EFFORTS TO RESCUE EACH PREGEED1NG VICTIM. ? Each Victim, Standing on the Edge Attempting to Grasp Outstretched Hands, Is Overcome. Five persons perished within a few moments In a grain well at the dairy of Mr. Anna Espleage, Sr., near Cincinnati, O., last week, four of the victims forfeiting their lives in successive efforts to save those who had fallen in before them. The well lad been abandoned until last week, Alien Jacob Sachs, who is interested n the dairy, cleaned it and used it is a silo for malt waste, purchased !rom breweries and uses as food for cattlo. Saclis collapsed when he went down 'or fodder. His condition was discovered by Mrs. Anna Espleage, Jr., who called her brother, Joseph Nictioff. The ground around the silo was strewn with malt and was slippery. Nichoff reached down in tho alio until his hands touched the body of Sachs, who had ceased to breathe. He then slipped and fell. His sister heard Ills cry and rushed to his aid. She reached down to ;rasp his outstretched hands, but slipped and fell. She screamed once and then again tho pit was In silence of death. Mrs. Gottlieb, a washerwoman at the house, was the next victim. Like the rest she was overcome with fumes rising from the silo, and died a painless death. A square away Robert Atkinson was driving a wagon. Ho heard frantic shrieks and drove to the scene. Ho pushed his way through tho group and leaned over the pit, and Instantly went tho way of the rest. Miss Bertha Boehnleln then procured a ladder, nlaced It over the well. and attempted to pull several of the victims from the pit of death by their oustrecthed hand. But they slipped from her grasp. She was pulled from the ladder when she became numb from the flimes. A flre company came in answer to an alarm. Haxry Esternian, a fireman was let down Into the well, and was overcome by the gases. Ho was taken to a hos? >ital in serious condition. The bodies K'ere recovered with grappling hooks. BOSTON STRIKE RIOTS. ? rhreo Policemen Overcome nnd Shot Fired at Car Conductor.
