"THOU SHALT NOT STEAL" fcajs AVall Street and Chicago Bet ting on Markets Is Worse for Morals of Teople Than Monte Carlo. XHW TORK, Feb. 4. Taking the eighth commandment as hia text, William J, Hryan pointed out to the Civic Forum to night the possibilities of larceny In viola tion of the law. and -what, he said, was of ettill greater importance larceny through the operation of the law. Carnegie Hall was filled by an audience representative of business and the profes sions, and in which was reflected the various shades of public opinion. Del- ward AT. Shepard introduced Mr. Bryan, who was received with spirited handclap- ping, the applause being frequently re newed during the course of his address. MuH'h of Mr. Bryan's address was a repe tition of his oft-expressed views as to de forts In administration of the law. He was severe in his criticism of stock specu lation, saying: Will I be entering upon forbidden ground If I question the moral rhararter of those financial transactions which have renulted In the issuing of watered stock and fictitious capitalization? I hne I shall not be thoutsht guilty of impropriety in suggesting that the commandments which are binding upon the rest of the world ought not to be sus pended from the region of Wall street. Large Amounts Stolen. , If we were- able to make an exact calcu lation of the amount of money taken from n unsuspecting public each year by the lKsua of stocks and bonds known to be worth less than the amount for which they tire sold, we would probably find that the total amount of money stolen In this way is larger than the amount stolen In a single year by all of the criminals who have been sent to the penitentiary during the year for petit larceny or grand larceny. Even In the fixing of rates, not to speak of discriminations and rebates by railroads and franchise-holding corporations, there may be extortion bordering on theft. These quasi-public corporations are under obligations to furnish an adequate service at a reasonable rate and any excess of a reasonable rate is simply taken without rlKht from those who are the victims of the extortion. Worse Than Monte Carlo. Gambling is one of the worst of vices and gambling in stocks and tn, farm products is the most destructive form in which the vice appears. Measured by the number of sui cides caused by the New York Stock Ex change, Monte Carlo is an innocent pleasure resort by comparison. Measured by the amount of money changing hands, the con trast Is still greater in favor of Monte. Car lo, and measured by the influence upon those who do not gamble, the evils of Monte Carlo are insignificant when com pared with the evils of New York commer cial gambling-houses. The New York Stock Kxehange has graduated more embezzlers than Fagln's school did thieves. The natural laws of supply and demand ought to regu late prices, but these laws are entirely bus landed when a few men can, by their bets ndd millions of dollars to the market value vf one product or take millions of dollars from the value of another product. IiOttcry Men Given Preference. The men In charge of the Irfmislana lot tery never did a tiihe of the barm that the frain gamblers and the slock gamblers of New York do every day, nor did they ever Txorcffie anything like the corrupting in fluences over politics. It has been asserted without denial that 99 per cent of the New York purchases and'. Kales of stock and of produce are merely bets, upon the market value with no intention on the part of the vendor or on the part of the purchaser to receive. Tills' Is not business; It is not com merce; It is not speculation; it is common, vulgar gambling, and when to the ordinary chances that the gwmbler takes are added the extraordinary chances due to the secret manipulation of the market by those who are on the inside, the stock market becomes vorse than an honestly conducted gamblin resort. TAFT IS THEIR SKCXD CHOICE Indiana Republicans Pledged to Fairbanks for President. INDIANAPOL.IS. Feb. 4.-lndiana Re publicans today selected in district conven tion IK delegates to the National Conven tion at Chicago. Four delegates at large v.lll be chosen by the State Convention April 2. The district conventions today were harmonious, and in every district resolutions were adopted unanimously in dorsing the candidacy of Vice-President Charles V. Fairbanks for the Presi dential nomination, and instructing- the delegates to work and vote for him. At Lapoito the tenth district convention elected George Ade, the humorist and playwright, and K1U Sills, delegates to the National Convention after a warm light in which a strong sentiment for Secretary Taft was developed. W. R. Wood, of Lafayette, was defeated for delegate because of pronounced antl Crumpacker and antl-Taft tendencies. The convention Indorsed President Koosevelt's Administration, the candidacy of Vice-President Fairbanks for Presi dent, and Harry New for National Chair man. The understanding is that the dele gates will vote for Mr. Fairbanks in the National Convention as long as he bas any chance and will then throw their sup port to Mr. Taft. JiOOSEVELT ADOPTS VIEWS Suggestion to Save Country From Anarchy Meets Approval. d.EVKLiAND. Feb. 4. In reply to a letter written fry Thomas P. Ballard, of this city, to President Roosevelt congratu lating him upon his recent message to Congress, the President wrote as follows: "I thank you for your letter of the 1st. You have expressed my thoughts better than I did, for as you say, what we have to strive to do is to save the country on the one band from the anarchy which follows greed and graft, on the other hand which follows bate and want." OHIO TO VOTE ON INITIATIVE Kesolutkm Passed to Put Question liefore People. COlUMRIS. O., Feb. 4. The Ohio Senate today adopted a Joint resolution providing for submission to vote of the people, at the ejection next November, of an amendment to the constitution providing" for the initiative and refer endum in state legislation. Chile Hospitable to Fleet. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Rear-Ad-nilral Kvnns cabled today that the re ception of the fleet by the Chilean authorities at Punta Arenas and by the people has been most hearty and gra cious. A special commission, headed ty Rear-Admiral Simpson, is at Punta Arenas on board the Chacabuco, to extend a welcome to Chilean ports. The Chilean government has placed Its coal supply at Punta Arenas at the disposition of the fleet, but fortunate ly it has not been necessary to "use it. Daily entertainments are being given for the officers and men of the fleet. At the urgent request of the Ameri can Minister to Chile and the Chilean authorities, the battleship fleet will pass near enough to Valparaiso for the people to see the fleet.

George Sterling, poet, dreamer, author of "The Wine of Wizardry," which Ambrose Bierce pronounces the greatest poem ever written in Amer ica, was the direct cause of a special meeting of the Board of Library Trus tees in the Free Public Library to night, as the aftermath of a clash be tween the poet and the sub Janitor, Edward P. Perrin. The conflict began last Sunday afternoon when Sterling vis ited the library to consult the various dic tionaries. At that hour the reading-room alone was open to poet or burger, and the Jani tor reigned supreme, with a mop for scepter and a scrub-bucket for insignia, in the referenceTroom, when Sterling invaded his domain. Sterling was unceremoniously escorted out of the place. He then wrote abet ter to the library board in which he called the Janitor "an irresponsible hoodlum, a disgrace to the board to which he owes the tenure of his position; a standing and constant menace to the foody of citizens which your honorable body represents." At the investigation tonight the board suggested to the Janitor that he apologize. The Janitor said he wouldn't- The board was Inclined to side with the Man of the Mop and will send a note to the Man with the Pen, stating that the incident is closed. GIVE NO HOPE OF REVISION (Continued from First Page.) Juat a we do with ourselves here In the House, and that there would likely be a majority and a minority report. Bad Time for Tariff Inquiry. The Speaker here remarked that what troubled him far more than the problem of tariff revision was the pres ence of "the period of liquidation" fol lowing 12 years "of 6uch prosperity as the world has not seen in all its his tory," and he ventured that, if the country could have the opportunity to return to its status of six months ago, that chance would be hailed and em braced by every man within his hear ing as of Inestimably more worth than any tariff revision that the skill of man could frame. Mr. Cannon continued: The National Conventions may determine that the next Congress shall revise the tariff: for It goes without raying that the policies to be enunciated by those con ventions will be the policies governing the two parties, and. If to the Democrats should De entrustea tne power, we know the tariff will be revised, and if with the Republicans remains the majority, we know the power to revise will be In the next Congress vested. But let me ask you frankly: In this present time of financial depression and liquidation, how far. in the hands of a nonpartisan commission, would a tariff investigation progress toward accomplishment? ITot Now, Says Payne. He then gave way to Mr. Payne, who made his position clear at once by ap pealing to the delegation to see the unwisdom of the appointment of a "necessarily" non-partisan tariff com mission, as proposed in the. Beveridge bill, "at the heels of a financial panic and on the eve of a Presidential cam paign." He said: You would not ask a committee of Con gress to undertake a tariff revision at such a time, yet how much more disturbing It would be to have a commission holding pub lic bearings on the tariff at this time. My position is that, when it shall be best for the interests of the American people to undertake a revision of the tariff, that is the time when I shall favor a revision; and I should urge a minimum and a maximum tariff coupled with the existing law empow ering the United States to make trade agreements with other countries; and I would follow France, Germany and Russia in the provision that the minimum tariff should afford a fair protection to home products. I think the signs of the times are that next Winter this Congress will un dertake a revision of the tariff. Shall we get our working Information at first hand from the producers themselves or shall we content ourselves with getting it second hand from a body .of men appointed as a taCfr investigation commission? Prom what I have seen of the formation of tariff bills I should by all means seek it at first hand. You cannot convince me. gentlemen, of the wisdom of appointing such a commission at this session. The delegation will call on President Roosevelt tomorrow and ask him to send a special message to - Congress urging the appointment of a tariff commission. The delegations will also present to the President urgent reasons for the creation of a Department of Public Works, to be presided over by an additional Cabinet office. At a conference tonight the delega tion adopted a resolution reindorsing the Beveridge bill and asking for the immediate appointment of a tariff commission by this Congress. This nction is regarded as an answer to the adverse decision of the leaders In Congress. URGED TO CUT OUTPUT But Inland Empire Lumbermen Not Alarmed at Present Market. SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 4.-(Speclal.)-At a meeting today of the Western Pine Manufacturers' Association, which is composed of the iorge millmen of the Inland Empire, the members were urged to curtail their output for fear that a big surplus might result.

Intended to Retire "When Verdict Was Rendered, but Was Prevailed Vjpon to Stay i ConCerence. NEW TORK, Feb. 4. An extended con ference of counsel for Harry Thaw was held here tonipht to discuss what legal means should he taken to secure Thaw's removal from Matteawan State Asylum, The result of the conference was not dis closed, but it was learned' on excellent authority that Martin W. Littleton, who defended Thaw In the last trial, has prac tically retired from the case.. Tt was known that Littleton's connec tion with the case would cease when the jury rendered its verdict, but at the re quest of his associates he consented to lend them his aid until he started south on his vacation, although his personal wishes on the status of the Thaw case following the rendition of the verdict differed materially from the views of the other lawyers on the case. Tt Is known that Littleton believes that Thaw should be loft in the asylum, at least for several months to come. INSISTS ON IEAVING ASYLUM. Doctors Say Staying at Matteawan , Is Depressing for Thaw. FISHKILL LANDING. N. Y., Feb. 4. Harry Thaw Is determined to leave Mat teawan at once, and at a conference to day Informed his counsel that they must take action to secure his release. Thaw told Peabody and O'Reilly, his lawyers, that he was willing to go to a private sanitarium if necessary, but that he must be removed from Matteawan. During the day Dr. Hammond and Dr. Jelliffe, the alienists retained by the Thaw family, were with Thaw for some time. O'Reilly said that everything would be done that could be to get Thaw away from Mat teawan, as the depressing surroundings were such as would tell on a man of his temperament.
