S. D.. Arc Told flint Protected Industries ' Mu-t Itc Compelled to Share Profits With W'orkingnian. SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. Sept. 3. Ex President Koosevelt today heartily commended one phase of the Taft Ad ministration, although he said nothing that could be construed as a reference to the Administration as a whole. He confined himself to the work which President Taft has done for ttie establishment of the principle of reg ulating the tariff through a commis sion, and to the President's success In conducting negotiations with foreign powers for the application of the new tariff law. Tariff Position Declared. Colonel Koosevelt also outlined clearly his position In regard to tiie tariff. He reiterated his belief In the need of regulation of duties by means of a commission and-declared that the tariff should be In the Interest of the worklngman, and riot for the benefit of a comparatively few wealthy men. "I believe in such a measure of pro tection as asm equalize the cost of production here end abroad; that Is. as will equalize the labor cosls," said lie. "I believe In such supervision of the workings of the law as will make certain that the protected Industry Zlves that difference to the man that we are most nnxlous to protect the worklngman and if I find It is not giving it. I would take off the tariff duty from that particular thing." Two .See-he Give Views. Colonel Roosevelt made two speeches on the tariff today. The first one. de livered at Sioux City. Ia., contained his reference to Taft Administration. In the second speech, made here late to day, he amplified his views on the tariff, declaring that although the Payne-Adrich law had given rise to grave dissatisfaction, the fault lay with the system under which tariff laws are made, rather than with the men who make them. It was in the presence of Senator Do!- liver and Repref entatlves Hubbard, of Iowa, and Martin, of South Dakota, that the ex-President made the first state- men! ronpptniiiB the Taft Administration that has passed his lips since his return j ftom Africa, 11 weeks ago. Colonel i RooseU chose a tate where the insur- gent movement Is strung in which to make his first remarks at any length j concerning tiie tariff and took the op portunity thus presented to declare him- I self In regard to a phase of the Admin istration's work which met his ap proval. . I'our Stales Vinlted.. The Colonel passed through parts of four states today and everywhere along the line of travel he was received by enthusiastic crowds. Starting from Omaha. Neb., early In the day. ha crossed Into Iowa and thence across a corner of Minnesota Into South Dakota. The people urned out with bands to welcome him and lie made spech after speech from the rear platform, telling his hearers about his political Ideals and his views as to good citizenship. People from many miles around came to Sioux Falls to attend the celebration today. The streets were a mass of wav ing Hags and bunting and pictures of Roosevelt filled the windows and floated from wires hung across the roadways. ll'oncduded on Page 2.) CLOSES THE SUMMER Bottled for Poalerity. A ma aMBI Wind Freak Draws Water From One Well, Carries It 20 Rods and Empties Into Another. THAYER, Neb., Sept. 3. (Special.) Even floods sometimes bring about ben eficial results. This was true In the ease of Darwin Keller, living Just north of here. During the recent rain storm, the heaviest that ever passed over this section of Nebraska, Keller sustained a loss of some 1300, but the same storm added fully $1500 to his assets. In less than two hours there was a precipita tion of 8 3-4 Inches, and the cellar walls under the Keller house collapsed. One end of the house. went IntO( the basement, partly wrecking the struc ture and entailing a loss of $300. The following day, looking over the wreck age. Keller noticed the studding had been torn loose from the sills and that in the southeast corner part of a small sack was sticking through the cracks. Securing an ax, he cut away the boards. He lifted out the sack, which was very heavy, and ripped it open. He found that It contained $1820 In $5, $10 and J20 gold pieces. Keller had occupied the house lor is years, but prior, to that time it was owned and occupied by Murry Hudson. a miserly old man, who died six years ago. ' ELY. Neb.. Sept. 3. (Special.) Pecu liar freaka that the wind Is capable of perpetrating was demonstrated here during the storm. On the ranch of John Gorman the wind drew the water completely out of one well 42 feet deep, within an hour, and filled another well 20 rods away almost to the surface of the ground.

PANAMA IS NOT LIKE SUEZ Hay-Pauncefote Treaty C'outains Xo Specific Authorization for Enemy of I'nited States to I'se Canal Against Her, WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. Officials of both .the State Department and the Army expressed surprise today that any question had been raised at this time as tr the right of the I'nited States to erect' fortifications along the Panama Car a I. They regard the un favorable comment in tne English press on Colonel Roosevelt s remarks about the necessity for fortifying the canal as lack of appreciation both of the action of the American Government and of the attitude of the British For eign Office itself. By implication, it is declared by American officials, the American and British agreement of 1901, known as the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, gave the United Slates the right to fortify the canal. , Treaty Contain" Mules. The implication Is drawn from sev eral clauses, it is pointed out. This treaty sets, forth that the I'nited States adopted an the banis f the. neutraliza tion of the canal the rules KoveriilnR th Sue Canal with certain modifica tions. In contrast with the Suez rules, the Panama Canal rules, it ia con tended, contain no specific authoriza tion for an enemy of the I'nited States to use the canal to the detriment of the tatter's interest. It is, therefore, the claim of the I'nited Slates that her guarantee to neutralize the canal only refers to belligerents, not to enemies or the United States. Furthermore, It is added, no express provision was incorporated in the rules forbidding- the I'nited States to fortify the canal as was done with Turkey in the case of the Suez Canal. Omissions Are Significant. These omissions are regarded as par ticularly significant hecause of the fact that Lord Pauncefote, who drew the treaty of 1901 with Secretary Hay, was one of the negotiators of the treaty that provided for the Suez Canal rules. I In this, connection, according to the understanding by the State Depart ment, the view of tiie British Govern ment was expressed in a memoran dum by Lord Iansclowne on August 31. Itl. communicated to Secretary Hay through Lord Pauncefote. "I understand that by the omi&nion of all reference to the matter of de fense he said at that time, "the Vnlted States Government desires to reserve the power of taking measures to protect the canal, at any rate when the L'nifed States may be at war, from destruction or damage at the hands of an enemy or enemies. Pauncefote. Kccogiifzetl Kfglit. "I am not prepared to deny that con tingencies may arise when, not only from a National point of view but on behalf of the commercial interests of the whole world. It might be of su preme Importance to the United States that they should be free to adopt measures for the defense of th,e canal at a moment when they were them selves engaged In hostilities." The American Government, it is said '.here, has been openly acting: on the theory -that It has the right to fortify the canal. Un Kvery Day. Comparison Between Los Angeles . and San Francisco I'nder Dif ferent Conditions Made. SAN FRANCI3CO, Sept. 3.-MSpec'al. Warrants were issued today charging criminal libel against the Times-Mirror Company of Los Angeles of which Harri son Gray Otis Is president and general manager, and Harry Chandler is vlce prewdent. The complaints were sworn to by Andrew B. Gallagher, aecretaiy of the Building Trades Council of Sun Fran cisco. Against each defendant are tiled two charges of libel on account of articles In th Los Angeles Times. The com plaint soys tliut the articles impeach the honesty and expose to . public hatred Mayor McCarthy, James G. Magulre. O. A. Tveitmoe, president of the Asiatic Kx clusion League, and Andrew J. Gallagher, all prominent in the labor union catww In San Francisco. These articles were called out by the visit of these labor leaders to Los Angeley to assist strikers there. Among the sentences quoted are: "The visit of these arch-agitators If but the beginning of a movement to saddle on the city a gang of ruffians such as have put lasting blight upon the good name of San Francisco." The articles also ai'ude to .McCarthy and others at) "lawless agitators" and "San Francisco toughs." These libel suits are designed by labor union leaders to counteract the pavase at tacks of the I.os Angeles Timeti. which for years has denounced labor unions on tiie Coast. The Times Is responsible for the fact that Los Angeles is an "open shop" town and it is said that it is more rjrosperous today than San Francisco, which is dominated by tiie labor union element.

Yon Robbers Kill Two With in Sight of Yards. POLICE ARE AT WORK if. DARK Bullet Holes and Footprints Help to Form Theory. SLIGHT WARNING GIVEN Tracks liulicale That Crime Was Commuted by Five Men Lonely J.ane Xear Hudson. X. V.f Is Some or Tragedy. TU'DSOX, X. Y.. Sept. .1. Masked men sprang out of the bushes along a lonely lne this afternoon, held up Ocnt Fow ler, paymaster of the Atlas Brick Com pany and his negro driver, shot thfl driver dead, mortally wounded Fowler, who died snon afterward, and made off with a chest of pay envelopes containing George ftUKsdale, the driver, died in stantly. Half the side of his head was torn away by two ,44-caliber revolver bullets. I le was tin years old and a trusted employe. Fowler was wounded over tho heart and died without ever re gaining consciousness. He was 21 years old. a son of Fverett Fowler, of Haver straw. X. Y. The robbers escaped. Precautions Are Taken. Saturday is payday at the yards of thf Atlas Brick Company and. according lo custom. Fowler called at a Xewburph bank for his pay money, sorted R out into the proper amounts, ticketed tiie en .dopes and started to drive back to t he ai ds halt a mile a way. He went a ruled and for further protection took with -him Kagwlale, who was stable boss at the yfililN. It was lalny and they vode with the bujvuy top up. the boot well raised in fioiu anil their heads far back in the hood. Jut what happened is not known, as Fowler died before he could mutter more than a tew unintelligible words. Five Shots Fired. Although the shooting was done with in :;oo yards of the State Fireman's Home and within sight of the yaids them selves, it was tie It her seen nor heard. The police have to piece together a theory of t lie crime from the bullet holes and footprints. Five shots were fired. Two tore away Ue side of Kagsdale's head. A third struck the paymaster above the heart. The fourth and fifth passed through the back of the raised hu:y top. From the size of the holes It would aopea r that the robbers used i emulation Army . tt-ca ti ber revolver.-?. From the footpiints llnie seem to have been five robbers. Xo Time til veil for Defense.
