SETS NOVEMBER 29 AS DAY Gratitude for Material ' Well-Being Duo to Deity Prosperity Only Foundation for Superstruc ture of Moral 14 fc. WASHINGTON-. Oct. 23. The Presi dent today issued a proclamation nam ing: Thursday, November 29, as a day of thanksgiving. The text of the proc lamation is as follows: "A proclamation. "The time of the year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our fathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiv ing and praise to the Almighty be cause of blessings we have received and of prayer that these blessings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well-being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a peo ple enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than lias ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibility; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings, and a resolute purpose, under Providence, not to for feit them by any action of our own. 'Material well-being, indispensable though it is. can never be anything but the foundation of true National great ness and happiness. If we build noth ing upon this foundation, then our Na tional life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well-being must be built a superstructure of individual and Na tional life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity itself will in the long run turn out a curse Instead of a bless ing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received and earnestly bent upon turning It Into a means of grace and not of destruc tion. "Accordingly, I hereby set npart Thursday, tne 29th day of November next, as the day of Thanksgiving and supplication, upon which the people shall meet in their homes or churches, devoutly acknowledging that which has been given them and to pray that they may in addition receive the.power to use these gifts aright. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the City of Washington this 22d day of October, In the year of our Lord 1906, and of the independence of the United States the 131st. "(Seal) .THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Judge Car land, In the United States Court today, on a motion of attorneys for the defense, directed a verdict for the defendants in the first of the alleged land fraud cases to be tried in the Federal Court of South Dakota, the case being that of Thomas H. Ayers, John I. Newell, Howard A. Binford and John F. McGuire of Pierre, who are indicted on 23 counts for engag ing In a conspiracy to defraud the Gov ernment of tracts of land situated in Western South Dakota.

BALLOTS ARE MUTILATED Directors Accused of Spending Com pany's Funds to Perpetuate Own Control Agents Solicit Votes for the Administration. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 23. The in ternational policy-holders' committee today obtained an order from Jus tice Bishoff requiring the New York Life Insurance Company and its directors to show cause on four counts why an injunc tion should not be granted restrainig the defendants from carrying on their cam paign for the election of the "administra tion ticket" at the expense of policy-holders.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23. A duel with re volvers between two policemen on foot and burglars in a wagon ended in Brooklyn today with the escape of the burglars and the fatal wounding of Roundsman James McGarry. In company with Roundsman Carney, McGarry found a grating removed from the window of the cellar of a drug store on Kingston avenue and De Graw street early today and went into the cellar to investigate. While they were searching a man climbed out of the cellar and jumped on the seat of a wagon where his associate awaited him. As they whipped up their horses the roundsmen reached the side walk and opened lire on them. With the roundsmen in hot pursuit down the street a running battle took place. The police shots went wild, but at the first reply of the burglars McGarry was wounded in the face. A second bullet pierced his arm and a third brought him down with a wound in the head, from which he is not expected to recover. His companion pursued the burglars further, but they disappeared in Prospect Park. Morphine Did Not Kill Swindler. CHICAGO, Oct. 23. The Coroner's in quest into the death of M. J.

Charles Swanson Wounded in Leg by One or Volley of Bullets Po lice Suspect Strikebreakers. Two union grainhandlers acting as pickets on the Albina dock narrowly es caped being killed about 8 o'clock last evening by a volley of shots, supposed to have been fired by non-union men on the Pacific Coast Elevator Company's dock, which adjoins the Albina dock on the east. Charles Swanson, one of the union men, residing at Albina avenue and Knott street, was wounded in the right leg and his companion, a man named O'Brien, living at Fine's Hotel, at the foot of Randolph street, got a bullet through the hat, but was not hit. Sergeant Baty and Patrolman Crad doek, who were on duty near the scene of the shooting, heard the shots and promptly investigated the affair. Swan son was found lying on the railroad tracks and was conveyed to his home, where he was given surgical aid. Sergeant Baty reported the shooting at police headquarters and stated that he believed the shots were fired by non union men who had secured firearms in violation of the order of Police Chief Gritzmacher. This is the first really serious affray brought to the attention of the police since the commencement of the strike and a thorough investigation is being made, with a view to disarming all strikebreakers who may be found to have secured guns or revolvers. Yesterday afternoon a report was made to Captain Bruin to the effect that 25 guns and two bundles of pick-ax handles were being taken down to the grain docks on the steamer Hoo Hoo, which is used to convey men and supplies to the docks. Sergeant Baty was ordered to investigate and found the ax-handles, but was un able to find the guns, which are believed to have been the ones used in last night s affray.
