RECORD GOLD SUPPLY.
Government Vaults Contain the
Largest Sum In Their History.
"WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. The sum of
gold now In the United States Treasury
exceeds that of any previous time In the
history of the country, and with one pos
sible exception It exceeds that of any
country at any time In the history pf the
world. The single reported exception Is
that of Russia about eight years ago,
when that country was preparing to re
sume gold payments. At that time Rus
sia Is said to haw had In its treasury
$598,000,000 in gold. Last Saturday the
vaults of the United States Treasury
contained $573,930,191, an increase since
July 1. 190L of 579.0S7.897. This stock of
gold is now being added to at the rate of
about 5200,000 to $000,000 a aay, with no
immediate prospect of a cessation in the
rate of deposits. This condition of things
is eminently satisfactory to the Treasury
officials, who regard it as the best possi
ble evidence of prosperity and of con
fidence in the financial stability of this
country.
The gold now coming in Is being re
placed by gold certificates, United States
nites and silver certificates, the former
being supplied where the denominations
wanted are $20 and dver, the United
States notes for tens, and silver certifi
cates for fives, twos and ones.

President Roosevelt will tour North
Carolina today. Yesterday ho traveled
over Tennessee, and was everywhere re
ceived with the greatest of enthusiasm.
He made the principal stop of the day
at Chattanooga, where he addressed the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and was elected aa honorary member of
the association. In his speech before
the brotherhood the President expressed
himself in no unmistakable terms as
being a firm believer in organized la
bor. Ho will begin his tour today from
Hot Springs; N. C
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 8. Presi
dent Roosevelt today was elected an hon
orary member of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen. He attended the execu
tive session this morning, walking from
the hotel to the Auditorium, a distance
of a few blocks, escorted by Grand Mas
ter Sargent, a committee of the Brother
hood and a detachment of Troop B, State
Guard.
Aotlng Grand Master Hannahan wel
comed the President, stating that his at
tendance at the convention would do great
good to organized Tabor, not only in this
country,, .hut in Canada- and-other ,TOi:n
trlts as well. The Prellderit returned hte
thanks for the welcome, and said he was
glad to bo with the Brotherhood. He
said the Firemen's Brotherhood was the
result which naturally comes from the ap
plication of people of common sense to
their -work. He said that organized labor
never had made an unreasonable request
of him, and that if it had he would have
denied it. In speaking of the appointment
of Grand Master Sargent, of the Brother
hood, to bd Commissioner-General of Im
migration, the President said It was one
of the most satisfactory appointments to
him and to the public he had ever made;
that Mr. Sargent has a bard body and not
a soft head.
John F. McNamee, of Columbus, O., ono
of the grand officers and a Democratic
member of the Legislature, moved that
the degree of grand honorary member
ship be conferred upon President Roose
velt. The motion was referred to the
committee on constitution and by-laws.
whose recommendation was unanimous
that the motion be accepted. The repoUL
of the committee was adopted by a rising,
unanimous vote, and amid great cheer
ing. The President thanked the convention
for the compliment paid him, and Grand
Maeter Sargent then gave him a pass
which admits him to all meetings of the
Brotherhood. At this point the Brother
hood adjourned until tomorrow morning,
and the public was admitted to the Au
ditorium to hear the President's address.
"While the audience was being seated the
band rendered "America," the President
and others In the hall rising.
Mayor Chamblies delivered a short ad
dress of greeting, in which he welcomed
to Chattanooga "all the firemen, whether
they came frctn Canada, Mexico or Oyster
Bay. After an address of welcome in
behalf of the state by Governor McMillan
and an address by Grand Master Sargent,
Interspersed with music. President Roose
velt was introduced by Acting Grand Mas
ter Hannahan. His reception was most
euthusiastlc, the audience rising and
cheering. When the President addressed
the convention as "My brothers" he wLs
cheered again. He said he was glad to
be here, and Joined with the others In ex
tending a cordial welcome to the visitors
from Canada andMexlco. He needed no
pressing, he said, to come to this meet
ing. HIS SPEECH TO RAILROAD MEN
President Dcclnres Himself Firm Be
liever in Organized Labor.
"CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 8. Fol
lowing lo the address of President Roose
velt, delivered in the Auditorium here to
day, before the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen:
"Grand Master, Governor McMIllin, Mr.
Mayor, My Brothers, and all of you men
and wqmcn of Tennessee, my fellow-citizens,
my fellow-Americans:
"I am glad to be here today. I am glad
to come as the guest of the Brotherhood.
Let me join with you, the members of
the Brotherhood of this country, in ex
tending a most cordial welcome to our
fellows from Canada and Mexico. The
fact that we are good Americans only
makes us all the better; all the more de
sirous of seeing good fortune to all man
kind. I needed no pressing Influence to
accept the Invitation tendered through
you. Mr. Hanrahan, and through Mr. Ar
nold, to come to this meeting. I have al
ways admired the railroad men of the
country, and I do not see how any one
who believes In what I regard as the
fundamental virtues of citizenship can
fail to do so. I want the average Amer
ican to be a game man, and an honest
man, and a man who can handle himself
and does handle himself well under diffi
culties. "The last time I ever saw General Sher
man I dined at his house, and ire got to
talking over the capacity of different '
types of soldiers, and the General hap
pened to say that if ever there were an
other war, and he were to have a com
mand, he would endeavor to get as many
railroad men as possible under him. I
asked why, and he said because, on ac
count of their profession, they develop
certain qualities which are essential In a
soldier. In the first place, they are ac
customed to taking risks. There are a
great many men who are naturally brave,
but who, being entirely unaccustomed to
risks, are at first appalled by them. They
are accustomed to enduring hardships;
they are accustomed to act on their own
responsibility; they are accustomed to ir
regular hours (laughter and applause), on
their own initiative, and yet they are ac
customed to obeying orders quick. (Ap
plause.) "There is nothing more soul-harrowing
for a man in time of war, or for a man
engaged In a difficult Job in time of peace,
than to give an order and have the gen
tleman addressed say, 'What?' The rail
road man has got to learn that .when an
order Is issued, there may be but a frac
tion of a second in which to obey it. He
has got to learn that orders are to be
obeyed, and, on the other hand, that there
will come plenty of crises in which there
will be no orders to be obeyed, and he tvIH
have to act for himself. Now, these are
all qualities that go to the very essence
of good soldiership, and I am not sur
prised at what General Sherman said. I
am not surprised that you would make
good soldiers I would be ashamed of you
if you did not. (Laughter and applause.)
Raisins the Rough Riders.
In raising my own regiment, which was
raised mainly in the Southwest, partly in
the territory In which Mr. Sargent him
self served as a soldier at one time In
Arizona I got a number of railroad men.
Of course, the first requisite was that a
man should know how to shoot and how
to ride. We wore raising the regiment In
.a hurry, and we did not have time to
teach him either. He had to know how to
handle a horse, and how to handle a rifle
to start with; hut given the possession of
those two qualities, I found that there
was no group of our citizens from whom
better men could bo drawn to do a sol
dier's work In a tight place and at all
times than the railroad men. (Applause.)
"But, gentlemen, the period of war Is
but a fractional part of the life of our
Republic, and I earnestly hone and be
lieve that It will be an even smaller part
in the future than it has been In the past
Your work in time of peace especially at
tracted mo to you, and made me anxious
to come down here to see you, and I am
glad to speak to you, not for what I can
tell you, but for the lesson It seems to me
can be gained by all of our people from
what you have done. (Applause.)
"At the opening of the twentieth cen
tury we face conditions vastly .changed
from what they were In the country and
throughout the world a century ago. Our
complex industrial civilization, under
which progress has been so rapid, and in
which the changes for good "have been so
great, has also Inevitably seen the irrowth
of certain tendencies that are not far
good, or at least that are not wholly for
gooa; ana we, in consequence. a3 a neo-
pie, like the rest of civilized mankind, find

to our people a solution for the advant
age of the Nation. In facing these prob
lems, it must be a comfort to even well
wlBher of the Nation to see what has
Deen aone oy your organization.
A Believer In Organized Labor.
"I believe emphatically In organized la
bor. (Cheers and applause.) I believe in
organizations of wageworkers. Organiza
tion is one of the laws of our social and
economic development at this time. But
I feel that we must always keep before
our minds the fact that there Is nothing
sacred In the name Itself. To call an or
ganization an organization does not make
It a good one. The worth of an organiza
tion depends upon Its being handled with
courage, the skill, the wisdom, the spirit
of fair dealing, as between man and man,
and the wise self-restraint which I am
glad to be able to say your brotherhood
has .shown.
"You now number close upon 44,000
members. During these two years ending
June 30 last, you paid into the general
beneficiary funds close upon $1,500,000.
More than JC.EOO.OOO has been paid In since
the starting of the Insurance clause In the
constitution have been paid to disabled
members and their beneficiaries. Over 50'
per cent of the amount paid was paid on
nccount of accidents. Gentlemen, that is
a sufficient commentary upon the kind of
profession that Is yours.
Law of Successful American Life.
"Tou face death and danger in time of
peace, as In time of war the men wearing
Unclq Sam's uniform must face them.
GEMS I.V ROOSEVELT'S CHAT
TAXOOGA SPEECH.
I believe In organizations of wage
workers. Organization is one of the laws of our
social and economic development at this
time.
In American citizens power can suc
ceed permanently upon only the baals
of standing- shoulder to shoulder.
I want to see our admirable Consti
tution, whenever the need comes, ren
dered still more admirable, even if
is necessary to amend It.
Th problem of good citizenship is the
problem of producing good men and
women. That Is the fundamental prob
lem. Your work is hard. Do you suppose J
mention that because I pity you? No, not
a bit. I do not pity any man who does
hard work worth doing; I admire him.
(Great applause.) I pity the creature who
docs not work, at which ever end of the
social scale he may regard himself as be
ing. The law of worthy .work well .done
is the law of successful American life. I
believe in play, too; play and play hard
while 3'ou play, but do not make the mis
take of thinking that that Is the main
thing. The work is what counts, and if
a man does his work well, and it Is worth
doing, then it matters but little In which
line that work Is done the man is a good
American citizen. If he does his work In
slipshod fashion, then, no matter what
kind of work It is. he Is a poor American
citizen. (Applause.) I speak to the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, but
what I say applies to all railroad men,
not only to engineers, who have served an
apprenticeship as firemen, to the conduct
ors, who, as a rule, have served an ap
prenticeship as brakemen, but to all the
men of all the organizations connected
with railroad work. T know you do not
grudge my saying that through you I am
talking to all the railroad men of tho
country.
"You in your organization as railroad
men have taught two lessons the lesson
of how much can be accomplished by or
ganization, by mutual self-help of the type
that helps another in the only way by
which. In the long run, a man who is a
fujl-grown man really can be helped, that
is. by teaching him to help himself. You
teach the benefits of organization, and

PRINCIPAL MAKES CONFESSION

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept 8. A sensation
was caused here today by the Issuance of

THE NEW AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY.
From Harper's Weekly.
Mr. Bellamy Storer was born In Cincinnati. O., In 1S17. After serving two
terms In the Hpuse.ot Representatives, he was appointed Minister to Belgium In
ISO", and was transferred to the Lesatlon at Madrid In ISnO. It Is reported that ha
Is to succeed Ambassador White In Berlin on November 7.
House of Delegates, following a confes
sion by Delegate J. K. Murrell, who fied
to Mexico last Spring, after being indict
ed by the grand Jury for bribery In con
nection with the alleged boodllng opera
tions in the granting of franchises to the
Suburban Street-Railway, and In other
legislation. His confession, which Is most
direct, involves IS prominent men, who
have been connected with St Louis pol
itics. It was read to the grand Jury, and
the issuing of the warrants followed
quickly. Murrell Is now in the custody
of Circuit Attorney Folk, and will, it is
stated, be granted Immunity from punish-,
ment for turning state's evidence. In his
confession, Murrell says:
"I could no longer stand the agony I
endured as a fugitive from Justice and
the wrong done me by the parties just as
guilty as X, who made me their cat's-paw.
All Old HnndM at Taking; Bribes.
"We did not look on what we did as a
serious crime, as it hod gone on so long,
without interruption that it was not re
garded by those who took part in it as
morally wrong. I have lived in St. Louis
all my life, and have many friends here.
I have been honest heretofore In all mat
ters, and have dene no man a wrong, and
would not take a dollar from any person
unlawfully, but the practice of the com
bine in the Assembly of taking bribes was
so frequent that I went along with the
tide, and did not realize the enormity of
tho offense, and my conscience was seared
in that regard. These boodle investiga
tions have made me see tho crime in all
Its enormity. No matter what happens to
me, I will do all I can to aid the Circuit
Attorney in breaking up the boodle gang
that has so long controlled affairs In this
city, and to atone, as far a3 I can, for my
awful mistake.
Gnng Court Witnesses Drilled.
"After my Indictment and the com
mencement of the boodle prosecutions,
the gang got together and raised money
for the purpose of fighting the cases and
to retain the supremacy of the gang.
Julius Lehmann, Edmund Ber3ch " and
John Helms acted as coachers or 'drill
masters for the witnesses who were to
appear before the grand Jury, although
it seems they were not very successful.
"I have surrendered unconditionally to
Circuit Attorney J. W. Folk, and have
made a full confession to him. ' I am not
permitted to give the details of the evi
dence that I have put the Circuit Attor
ney In possession of. This will all come
out at the trials. I held the key to the
box In the Lincoln Trust Company con
taining the $75,000 bribe money to go to
the House of Delegates upon the passage
of the suburban bill.
"The money was put up as the purchase
price for the votes of tho combine, that
price having been agreed upon. The
combine of the House of Delegates was
composed of 19 men. When the Suburban
matter came up before the combine I was
selected to negotiate with Philip Stock,
the representative of "the Suburban Rail
way. "The purpose of the combine was to
control legislation and sell legislation for
the benefit ot the "members of the com
bine, fcbortly tcfove the Suburban bill the
combine sold their votes on the lighting
bills for $47,500. The money was handled
by Kelly, and each member of the com
bine received $2500. I was present and
saw the money paid to the various par
ties. These are ony two Instances, but
there are others.
"I feel better and happier, and my mind
is easier now than for months. I propose
to give the state all the aid In my power,
and I hope that my conduct will be such
that In future years I may retain the con
fidence of my fellow citizens."
It is stated that Murrcll has been in
the city since last Friday in the custody
of the Circuit Attorney.
Men Indicted.
The members and former members of
the Municipal Assembly for whom war
rants have been issued are as follows:
Ed E. Murrell, J. H. Schnettler, Charles
F. Kelly. T. E. Albright. George F. Rob
ertson, Lcuis . Decker, John Helms,
Charles A. Gutke, Adolph Madera, H. A.
Faulkner, Julius Lehmann, Edmund
Bersch, Otto Schumacher, John A. Sheri
dan, Charles J. Denny, William Tamblyn,
J. J. Hannigan and Emlle Hartman. War
rants were served on Messrs. E. E. Mur
rell, Schnetter, Albright. Robertson,
Helms, Gutke, Faulkner. Schumacher and
Hannigan. Albright and Faulkner were
released on bonds of $30,000 each. The
others arrested were allowed to go to
their homes In the custody of Deputy
Sheriffs, who will remain with them until
they shall have furnished surety for ap
pearance in court.
"With the exception of William Tamblyn,
who Is how said to be in Cleveland, all
the indicted men are believed to be in the
city. Delegate Kcltey telephoned to the
District Attorney this evening that he
would surrender tomorrow and give
bonds. The police are watching every
possible avenue of escape from the city,
and It will be difficult for any indicted
man to escape. Charles J. Kratz. mem
ber of the Council, who was indicted for
bribery in connection with the Suburban
deal, and escaped to Mexico at the time
Murrcll went there, has not returned.

President Is Wired "State Goes
as It Once Went for Kent."
PORTLAND, Me.. Sept. S- Chairman
Simpson, of the state committee, to
night sent a message to the President,
saying:
"Maine has cone Republican as it
once went for Governor Kent. AVe
have carried the state by a plurality
of 27.000. We ha-e elected the entire
delegation In Congress by a larce ma
jority, havo chosen every Senator with
one exception, and about four-fifths of
the Leclslature. The Pine Tree Stata
Indorses your Administration with no
uncertain voice."
PORTLAND. Me.. Sept. S. Maine rolled
up a big off-year plurality for the Re
publicans In the election today, it ap
proximating 27.000. in comparison with
12,000 for the average of other years.
Complete returns will be late, owing to
the remoteness of many towns. Figures
at midnight from 210 cities and towns
give Hill. Rep.. 40,962; Gould, Dem., 24.5S7.
The same towns two years ago gave Hill,
Rep., 47,431; Lord, Dem.. 27,734.
The Legislature, which Is usually
strongly Republican, ? will have an un
'c'otnmon number of Democratic mem
bers, some of jthe strongest Republican
towns of the state having- elected Rep
resentatives of that party. The Senate
will have one Democrat In 31 members.
In the First Congressional District. Rep
resentative Amos J. Allen, Rep., was re
elected over !-. S. O. Gordon, of Port
land, Dem., and Fred E. R. Irish, Soc,
with a plurality of about 5500, as against
7C00 two years ago. Mr. Allen, who suc
ceeded Thomas B. Reed for whom he
was secretary, ran behind his ticket in
York and Cumberland Counties. .Dr. Gor
don's personal popularity contributed to
this result.
An Incident was the Increase In the
Socialist vote of 70 two years ago to 300
this year In Portland alone. In the
Fourth District, owing to its .great area,
the returns will not be completed until
late tomorrow, but the estimate is that
Representative Powers, Rep., has been
re-elected by a plurality of 7000 over
Thomas White. Dem. In the Third Dis
trict, Representative E. C. Burleigh got
the Prohibitionist vote, and ran slightly
ahead of his ticket in defeating E. H.
Kenton. Dem. In the Second District,
Representative C. A. LIttlefield had no
difficulty in defeating his Democratic op
ponent, running well ahead of his ticket.
A message was sent to Senator Hanna
tonight saying: "Maine has today shown
her appreciation of the Republican poli
cies which have given to our country a
prosperity unequaled in the history of tho
world."
Representative Burleigh sent a message
announcing the result to Chairman Bab
cock, of the Republican Congressional
Committee. .He said the avorage off-year
Republican plurality has been 12,000.

ington, Sept. S. Representative Henry C
Smith, of Michigan, now in the East in
the hope of furthering his candidacy for
Senator McMillan's seat in the Senate,
when asked about Cuban reciprocity today
said:
"Cuban reciprocity is a subject which
Is not being discussed in Michigan. Neither
the people nor the politicians are; inter
ested In it in the least. The Michigan
delegation voted solidly against Cuban
reciprocity at the last session. The mem
bers have had no reason so far to changa
their views. At the state convention an
effort was made to bring the subject to
the front through resolutions which
seemed to 'ndorse the delegation in Con
gress for the position it had maintained,
and also to indorse President Roosevelt
for his directly opposite position. Thl3
resolution, however, was squelched abso-
lutely.
"We are going to settle the Cuban ques
tion in the same way that We have set
tled the Porto Rican question. Cuba Is
laturally ours, and after she has tried
self-government for a satisfactory time
she will naturally become a part of tha'
United Slates."
