Oratory Still. Flows Freely. While lawyers were arguing in court over this latest prase or the campaign fervid oratory by the three candidates for Mayor was going on. Judge Gaynor addressed a gathering of Columbia stu dents and others at the University late tonight and spoke before a labor mass meeting at Cooper Union tonight. llr. Hearst spoke first at the Murray Hill Lyceum and then crossed to Long Island, where he spoke at College Point and Long Island City. Mr. Bannard. the Republican nominee, made a series of addresses in Brooklyn. ' .The Hearst nd Gaynor speeches to night paralleled each other in many re spects. Both dwelt at length on political reform and both criticised General Theo dore Bingham, recently ousted as Police Commissioner. Would Not Appoint Bingham. "It has .been stated that I will make various appointments if elected Mayor," said Mr. Hearst, "among them the -au polntment of General Bingham as Police Commissioner. Those statements are ab solutely untrue and unauthorized. I have nothing to say as 'to the personal hon esty of General Bingham, but apart from his honestv he Is not at all ho klnri J man that I would appoint as Police Com missioner. . "If I am elected Mayor, the police shall not e ordered to maltreat or insult any American citizen who Is not a criminal. The police shall never behave like the Cossacks of Russia and ride down their horses upon innocent, law-abiding cltl sens." Bannard Dummy Director. ' Of the Republican nominee he said: "Mr. Bannard is a genial gentlemen and I do not want to 'speak disrespect fully of him, but I must tell the facts. As far as I can see. Mr. Bannard's business experience has consisted In acting as a sort or oummy agent or director in va rious companies for one of the really Dig creative men in Wail street. "If Mr. Bannard is- elected he will merely be a peg put in this particular political hole by big men playing the po litical game." Judge Gaynor. after reviewing police issues and attacking Hearst, referred in directly to the "white slave" charge as made In a recent anti-Tammany magazine article. White Slave Story Slander! "We want an end to' this Blandering and defiling of the city." he concluded, "and we want a government In the in terest of the whole people andf conform ing to the will of the people." The "white slave" issue would not down today, but It was answered from almost every source in the Democratic ranks. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, issued a statement tonight, declar ing the accusations were a libel on the name of the city and wound up with the declaration that "it is up to Herbert Par sons and Representative Bennett to dis claim the attack or stand accused of in dorsing it." " ' Murphy Challenges Parsons. "Mr. Parsons and Mr. Bennett." the statement says, "remain silent while they are using this lying article as a cam paign document. They should, either In dorse such stories or acknowledge that they believe them. If they think such conditions exist, then as good citizens they should call upon the District At torney and the grand Jury to act at once." .John F. Glavln, Democratic nominee for president of the Board of Aldermen, offered to give J10.000 to the writer of the article, $10,000 to the Bannard cam paign fund, and an equal sum to any, charity if McCIure's Magazine can pro duce "reasonable proof" that any Tam many leader is interested in the profits of "white slave traffic." He said he was ready to post the 'money within an hour. Disease Germs Cannot harm healthy human' bodies.

TO BOOST DEEP WATERWAY Torpedo Flotilla Heads Fleet of Ten Steamers Carrying Many Gov ernors, Senators and Congressmen. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 23 When President Taft lefr here at 5 o'clock this afternoon. after a strenuous day of speechmaking, dining and riding, he embarked upon a river trip of nearly 1200 miles. Follow ing the Government steamer Oleander, on whose upper deck the- President stood, acknowledging the thunderous farewells of the crowds on the levees and bridges, came ten river packets carrying two Cabi net officers. 30 Governors, representatives of eight South and Central American governments at Washington, 20 United States Senators, nearly 200 Representa tives and officials of every state on both sides of the river, besides hundreds of delegates from commercial bodies, bound for the convention of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association at New Orleans. Mosquito Fleet as Scouts. The flotilla was preceded down the river yesterday by the second dlvisiton of the Atlantic torpedo-boat flotilla . of the United States Navy. This squadron, consisting of the destroyer Macdonough and the torpedo-boats Wilkes, Thornton and Tingey, is charged with the duty of preparing for the proper reception of the President at each of the eight cities where stops will be made before New Orleans is reached next Saturday morn ing The squadron is under the com mand of Lieutenant Willis G. Mitchell and has been in St. Louis since the-celebration of this city's centennial year in October. The naval vessels aim to step wen ahead of the Presidential fleet, so that the smoke from their funnels will not obstruct the view of the deep waterway delegates and the Government . officials whom they seek to convert to the project of deepening the river. For slnfilar rea sons a considerable distance was kept between the boats of the Presidential flotilla. Strenuous rules were announced to the pilots and commanders of the craft before their departure and every effort has been made to prevent either the grounding of any of the boats or the more dreaded possibility of a collision. Boosts Deep Waterway. The details of the Journey have been worked out under the supervision of Com mander E. H. Tillman, U. S. N. admiral of the fleet, on board the Oleander. In the upper reaches of the river a speed of less than 12 miles an hour is to be a. A faa tViA mmii h of the Ohio has been passed, however, the vessels will be asked to show a better pace, and, in places, travel 15 miles an hour. The flotilla was organized to "boost" the cause of deep waterways. This is the frank declaration of the officers of the association, its president, W. K. Kav anaugh, saying: "This personally conducted journey of President Taft down the Mississsippl River Is being made to call the personal attention of the President of the United States, members of Congress, Army en gineers and levee engineers of the various Interested states to the commercial ne cessity and possibilities of deepening the river. 'Federal co-operation' is wanted by the states, and we hope to secure a river and harbor bill passed at the next session of Congress carrying an appro priation sufficient to' put the deep water- San Francisco ' Portland Seattle IF0i SLOVtSAliO UMBf)LLASf Specialists. .

Feasting During Voyage. . The order of the procession of boats Is to be changed from day to day to meet the exigencies of the programmes mapped out by committees at the cities to be vis ited by the President between here and New Orleans. Then, too. there are to be various functions aboard the boats, which the President is expected to attend. The first of these was held tonight, when, he took dinner on the steamer St. Paul with the Governors and newspaper men. The affair was arranged by the Business Men's League of St. Louis. Another dinner, with the President as chief guest, will occur aboard the ' steamer Quincy on the night of October 27. after the flo tilla has left Helena, Ark. The Con gressmen and President are to be the guests of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association on that occasion. Provision has also been made-for dis patch boats and launches to facilitate visiting between the vessels of the' fleot. TAFT AND CANNON AGREE (Continued From First Page.) the necessity for new legislation regard ing water-power sites to prevent monopo lies from gaining control. Mr. Taft declared that while he did not wish to criticize, there was no denying the fact that the improvement of water ways had been carried forward in a hap hazard fashion, and that a new method shsould be adopted. "And right here," added tha President, "I want to clear away a supposition which, I am afraid, has lodged in a good many minds. The project ls for irriga tion and for the improvement of water ways in the future, and not to be for the purpose of distributing 'pork' to every part of the country. Every measure is to be adopted on the ground that It will be useful to the whole country. They' are not to be adopted for the purpose of ttAndinn- eertnin Congressmen back to Washington or for making certain parts 'of the country profitable during the ex-, penditure of the money. We should take up every, comprehensive project on Its merits and determine whether the coun try where the project is to be carried out has so far developed as to Justify the enormous expenditure of money, and If it will be useful when done. When we decide In favor of a project. I believe in Issuing bonds to carry it to comple tion as rapidly as' possible. It has been proposed that we Issue bonds for $500. 000,000, or $1,000,000,000, and cut it up and parcel the money out In this and that section of the country. I am op posed to any such proposition, because it not only smells of the 'pork barrel,' but would be a 'pork barrel.' " Immediately after delivering his speech the President was escorted to the Plant ers' Hotel for luncheon. Nine hundred guests of the Business Men's League of St. Louis were seated at tables. No set speeches were made. The Congressmen, Governors, Senators and Foreign Minist ters attended the luncheon. At 8:30 o'clock. President Taft, escorted by mounted police was taken across Eads' bridge to East St. Louis. Here he met Mr. Sherman and Mr. Cannon, who had been guests of the East St. Louis Com mercial Club at luncheon. Glad Canal Work Approved. In a speech at the St. Louis Club, Pres ident Taft referred to the trip of his hosts, the Commercial Club, to the Isth mus of Panama, while the President was Secretary of War. He referred to the fact that in a previous visit to 9t. Louis he had suggested this trip of inspection, and he said that he had always felt grateful to the club and to the other organizations from various cities that went" to the isthmus, for. the confidence which they had engendered in the Amer ican people concerning the work at the Isthmus. The country felt positive, said the Pres ident, that the commercial bodies that Inspected the canal worn at tneir-own expense could not be fooled or deceived, or would have a motive for misrepresent ing the facts. He declared that the re port of the commercial clubs marked the beginning of a state of affairs which has left the administration In a very com fortable position in reference to the. con dition of the canal work. Up to this time, the President said, .there had been shrieks of 6candal and incompetence, but afterwards the work had been treated as all Government and engineering works should be treated with sobriety, calm ness and criticism of plans on a basis that can be understood.

The President said that not long ago Secretary of War Dickinson had come to him with much perturbation, displaying a newspaper article which had caused a great scandal over the letting of a paint contract on the Isthmus. The President said that Mr. Dickinson desired the im mediate appointment of a commission to investigate the matter and ascertain the facts in order that the unjust charges might -be demolished.
