There are unconfirmed reports that as late as last week final ef forts were made by Mr. Vanderbilt for a reconciliation for the sake of the children. Duke's Attention to Another Woman. People Intimately acquainted with the Marlborough household Intimate that the friction became more acute owing to the slighting, unsympathetic attitude ot the Duke since the Duchess deafness became more pronounced. She made frequent visits to specialists on the Continent for treatment and- the Duke habitually remained behind. en Joying the gay life of the metropolis. According to Reynolds' newspaper, the Duke, in the opinion of the Duch ess, paid greater attention than nec essary to a young girl friend of his wife. London Sides With Duchess. The Duchess has the warmest sym pathy of everyone in London convers ant with the situation. Since her ar rival here as a bride 11 years ago she has made herself most popular. She has been an active supporter of char ities, a hard worker for the benefit of the tenants of the Blenheim estate, a general favorite in society and a friend of both the King and Queen. It is stated that the Duchess will have charge of her two sons. Lord Blandford and Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill, until they are old enough to go to school, after which they will di vide tiieir time with both parents. JUST DODGES LIBEL LAW Chicago Tribune s Attack on Dunne Warrants Xo Indictment. CHICAGO. Oct 27. (Special Too adroitly worded to warrant an indictment was the grand jury's verdlot this after noon on a recent Chicago Tribune edito rial criticising Mayor Dunne. The Trib une remarked that "when Mayor Dunne packs the School Board with freaks and boodlers. he has done much to discredit Chicago.'" The Mayor was so angry that he wept when he told the grand jury that either he was guilty of malfeasance or the Tribune of criminal libel, and that one or the other should be indicted. "We feel that the reflections cast upon Mayor Dunne are unfair.'' commented the Jury in refusing the indictment, "and that he is not in any way personally guilty of an intentional wrong in his selection of School Board members."

Snyder's Defense That Statute of Limitation Had Run. ST. LOCTS. Ms.. Oct 27 i Specials Robert M- Snyder was convicted in the St. Louis Circuit Court in Octo ber, 1S04. of bribery in connection with the passage by the St Louis Municipal Assembly of the Central Traction bill In 1S9R for merging several of the ,streetcar lines here. Among his attor neys were William Warner, now Unit ed States Senator: H S- Priest, former ly Judge of the United States District Court here, and F- W. Lehmann. of this city. The Circuit Attorney who prose cuted him was Joseph Folk, now Gov ernor of Missouri. The defense presented no evidence to refute the testimony of bribery, but rested Its case on evidence to the effect that Snyder had continued his resi dence in Kansas City. Mo., and not re moved to New York, where he had rooms at the Waldorf-Astoria, thereby being exempt from prosecution under the statute of limitations, three years having elapsed between the time of the alleged bribery and the bringing of the indictment. Evidence was offered by the state to show that Snyder had changed his resi D M K AND DUCHESS dence to New York City, and the Jury taking that view found him guilty and gave him Ave years in the penitentiary. The Supreme Court overruled this de cision and remanded the case, on the ground that the change of residence had not been proven and that the Cir cuit Attorney, in his closing argument, had indirectly commented on the fact that the defendant had not taken the witness-stand, such comments being prohibited by statute. The case was to have been retried the lSthof last month, but Circuit At torney Sager could not get his princi pal witnesses, two of whom had re moved to Colorado, here, and as the courtfc-efused to grant a further con tinuance, the case was nolle prossed. A few days later a new indictment was found, which is still pending. STROXG AFFECTIOX FOR SOX Snyder, Sr., Made Good Impression on Washington Sheriff. HILLSBORO. Or., Oct. 2T. (Special.)

Speaking of the incident, Sheriff Con-, nell said: "I met Robert M Snyder when he was here last Winter making Inquiries about his son Carey.

WHO HAVE SIGNED AR TICLES OF SEPARATION. pressed me as a man who possesed a strong parental affection, no matter what his faults may have been. He appeared to me to be a very shrewd observer, and he was of rather a retir ing disposition just the kind of a man who would be considered as of a benev olent turn of mind." The court officials here now believe that the last barrier has been removed from getting all the evidence there is regarding . t he mysterious murder of Carey D. Snyder, if there is anything In the theory that R. M. Snyder was the cause of Mrs. Snyder's reticence. ROOSEVELT HEART AXD SOUL FOR HUGHES' ELECTIOX.

Oct. 27 The first public utterance by President Roosevelt touching on the campaign in this state was con veyed to a public mass meeting at Cooper Union tonight in the form of an Indorse ment o the gubernatorial candidacy of Charles E Hughes.

" I authorize you to make that statement to your friends and my friends on the East Side with all the emphasis that is m you." SWITCHMEN TURNED DOWN Railroads Refuse to Grant Them an Eight-Hour Pay.

REGULATION OF INDUSTRY Roosevelt's Policy to Prevent Abuses by Trusts, Xot Hamper Corpo rate Investments Replies - to Bryan's Speeches. CLEVELAND. Ohio. . Oct. 27. W. H. Taft, Secretary ot War. made his first speech in the Ohio campaign here to night, when he was greeted by an en thusiastic audience. The meeting was held in Central Armor)', which was filled, notwithstanding a furious rain and wind storm. Mr. Taft pointed out that capital is important in the development of the coun try; that the device of a corporation, limiting the liability of investors -and offering an opportunity for the massing ts - of savings of many into funds which can be used to build railroads or other great enterprises, is so important to our pros perity that nothing should be done to discourage it. The policy of President Roosevelt is to prevent abuse and misuse of corporate wealth. Abuses Wrought by Trusts. He then described abuses, first in In dustrial corporations by combinations in restraint of trade, and second in the form of immense corporations so large as to embrace a very great part of the produc ing capacity of the country in certain commodities. He then took up railroad discrimination to show that discrimina tion in rates granted the trusts is one of the main instruments by which inde pendent competitors had been driven to the wall. Time to Revise Tariff. He said that, speaking for himself alone he thought the time which had elapsed since the passage of the Dingley bill had so changed conditions as to require a revision of the tariff, and he saw a crystallization of sentiment in favor of this in the Republic, but that the tariff affects so many industries that it is im possible to touch it without affecting legitimate business interests in which capital had been invested in the main tenance of the tariff. The speaker then referred to statutes which have been passed by the Repub lican Congress on the recommendation of the President the meat inspection bill, the pure food bill, the denatured alcohol bill all of which had been opposed by powerful interests. It had been an nounced that the Senate would defeat the rate bill and that the Republicans of that body were controlled by special interests and could be depended upon to prevent the passage of the bill. Instead of this, the bill passed both the House and the Senate almost unanimously, and, as it passed the Senate, it was more democratic and comprehensive than when passed by the House. All these things, he said, tend to show that, instead of supporting the claim of Mr. Bryan that the House and Senate are opposed to the President's policies, these bodies respond ed to his recommendations as no previous Congress had done. Old Democracy Is Dead. He called attention to the fact that the old Democratic party had ceased to be; that it was captured by Mr. Hearst in Xew Tork and captured by Mr. Bryan in other parts of the country. The speaker finally referred to the fact that President Roosevelt was the issue, because the issue really was whether that which had been done by Congress and the administration in the last two years en titled the President and the Republican party to a continuance of confidence which was expressed in them in laOi.

Shows She's President's Daughter by Shaking Hands With More Than 3000 People. LOGAXSPORT, Ind., Oct. 27. (Special.) Fighting for a chance to get near Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who accom panied her husband here on a campaign ing tour in behalf of Congressman Landis, hundreds of frantic and hysterical women pulled at one another's hair and tore each other's clothing at the meeting where Congressman Longworth was the star performer today. In anticipation of some such trouble as that which occurred at Columbus. O., re cently, the city police had been reinforced by a squad of Pennsylvania Railroad offi cers, but the combined force was power less to prevent the open fighting among the eager women. Hundreds of persons, women for the most part, had assembled at the station, and when Mrs. Longworth appeared, accompanied by her husband, there was a great rush forward to see and get "near her. She seemed to relish the experience. At the meeting another large crowd gathered, hoping for a chance to see the President's daughter.

While the women who wanted to "meet" her. fearing she might tire of the performance, were struggling to get near to the young matron, who stood upon the platform, many of the women were wrecks by the time they reached her side. Mrs. Longworth proved that she is her father's own daughter, and stood bravely by her task until she had greeted everyone who wanted to shake her hand. Congressman Longworth came to In diana to help out Fred Landis in his fight for re-election to reciprocate for the work Landis devoted to his Ohio campaign. Some of the party went to Marion. t EDDY WILL CUT FINE DASH American Diplomat Spends Twice ' His Salary on Rent. BERLIX, Oct. 27 (Special.)
