THE H AH REMAN SYSTEM. Tha Harriman ayfftem has three main llneji between the MJsgourl River and the Padflc Coast, which under nepaxate ownership are natural com petitors for traffic originating east of their eastern termini or destined to points east of those termini. The main line of the "Union Pacific extends from Omaha to Ogden, where it connects with the Central Pacific, extending from Ogden to San Fran cisco. The Oregon Short Line extends from Granger to Pocatello and the O. K. & X. from Pocatello to Port land. These two lines combined are natural competitors of the Union Pa cific and Central Pacific. The Kansas Pacific extends from Kansas City to Denver and Is a natural competitor of the Union Pa cific main line. The Southern Pacific extends from New Orleans to Loa Angelee, and thence to San Francisco and north to Portland, forming a natural compet ing line with the other lines de scribed. The acquisition of control of the Illinois Central by Harrlman gives him a line from Omaha to Chicago and thence to New Orleans, thus connect ing the eastern termini of his sev eral lines and enabling him to route traffic from and to Eastern points by any of them. It practically makes him supreme in the whole territory Wft of the Missouri river and south of the .Columbia river in ' the West and of Omaha in the East. WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. (Special.) A general investigation of what Is known as the Harrlman system of railroads, under the authority conferred hy law, is one of the subjects which have been discussed for some time by the Interstate Com merce Commission, and that body, it is) said, really stands committed to an in quiry. "We have been informed," a member of the Commission said tonight, "that this system in some of its features is not unlike the Northern Securities Company, which was .dissolved through the inter position of the Attorney-General of the United States." Any steps which may be taken by the Commission along the lines referred to will be, it is faid. in accordance with the general powers of the Commission con ferred by law, and not because of any immediate specific complaint of a viola tion of the statutes. Fish Furnished Ammunition. During the Ftsh-Harriman contest for the control of the Illinois Central Rail way, it was hinted that data would be placed in the hands of the Government whereby it could get the official Jack screws under the Hajriman system and discover many Interesting things. The Commission will begin the task early in the new year. This Investigation will be of as ' much importance, in all probability, as was that which the Commission made into the combination of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, which, as the North ern Securities Company, was dissolved by order of the Supreme Court under the anti-trust law. In one way, the action of Harriman resembles that of J. Plerpont Morgan and James J. Hill in allying the Northern Pacific with the Great Northern. He controls the Union Pacific, the South ern Pacific and the Oregon Short Line, which should be competing roads, in the Judgment of the Commission, and now he has the Illinois Central and the Baltimore & Ohio, which makes him a big factor in determining transcontinental rates. Fol lowing its investigation of the combina tion of the Great Northern and the North ern Pacific, the Commission transmitted testimony to the Department of Justice which used it to bring about the dissolu tion of the Northern Securities Company. Relations of Parallel Lines. A similar course will be followed upon the completion of the impending investi gation. So far as the Commission has considered the matter, it has determined to inquire particularly into the relations of the Oregon Short Line, the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, The Illi nois Central and the Baltimore & Ohio will come in only incidentally in ortter to establish the full extent of Harriman's operations. Unquestionably, Mr. Fish will be called upon to state what he knows and it is expected he will furnish information which will be of the greatest value to the Commission in determining whether there has been any violation of the law. The reason the Commission will not be gin the formal investigation before Janu ary is that it is necessary for it to ob tain a basis of facts which will enable it adequately to cross-question Harriman and other men associated with him. The Commission is not making war upon Harriman from any hostile motive, but is actuated only by a desire to do Its duty as denned by the Interstate Com merce laws. Complaints have been re ceived by the Commission that rates on freight are higher from the Missouri river to Denver than from Chicago and East ern points to Denver and that rates are higher from San Francisco to Denver than from San Francisco to the Missouri river. Aims to Kill Canal Competition. It is claimed by the railroads that water competition is responsible for these discriminations, but this obviously has slight foundation, for no real water com. petition between East and West can exist until the Panama canal is dug. The Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific always have been in the forefront of the opponents of the canal. Manifestly it is against their interests to permit the con trol of the north and south roads to pass into the hands of capitalists who would use them in .assisting in canal competi tion. By acquiring the Illinois Central, Harriman, it is said, has taken the hrst step toward preventing such competition and. with the control of this line and the Baltimore & Ohio, his system will be in a position to compete with the canal on better terms. The Harrimari roads cannot be pun ished under the interstate commerce law. but they can be prosecuted under the anti-trust law. Just as was the Northern Securities Company. Inquire Into Spokane Case. In January, if time permits, the com mission will take up the complaint of the municipality of Spokane against the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the Chicago, Burlingon & Quincy, the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line rail roads, involving alleged discrimination in charging a higher rate for a shorter than for a longer haul. This complaint was the first filed with the Commission under the amended interstate commerce act. It is regarded as of considerable im portance, as its disposition will logically have a bearing on the whole question of transportation in the West from the Canadian border to Mexico, and Chicago and St. Louis to the Pacific Coast. It is also of importance in connection. with the proposed investigation of the Harriman system, whose territory and connecting lines cover a large portion of the West. PASSES CAPE UTERUS WIRELESS MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT'S FLAGSHIP. Will Send Daily Bulletins on Voyage to Panama and Receive News of Day Briefly. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Advices re ceived in Washington today show that the president, who is aboard the battle ship Louisiana, headed for the Isthmus of Panama, is well on his way there. The transfer from the yacht Mayflow er, on which the start was made from Washington, to the Louisiana, took place last night in Chesapeake Bay. The ship passed out the Capes to sea early this morning, and at noon passed Cape Hatteras. The latest news given out by Secretary Loeb concerning the whereabouts of the vessel was con tained in the following dispatch from Captain Couden, commanding the Lou isiana: "At noon the Louisiana passed Cape Hatteras. Sea smooth. All well." Mr. Loeb expects but one message a day from the President, unless circum stances intervene which require' more frequent communications. Any matter which requires the President's special attention will be communicated to him by wireless telegraph. Small bulletins- of the important news of the day will also be made up in Washington and sent to the Presi dent, so that he may be kept accurately and constantly informed of what is going on in the United States.

EFFECT ON 1903 CAMPAIGN Has Visions of Democratic Victory In Iowa, Kansas, California and Xe braska Trots Out Third-Term Bogle Against Roosevelt. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 9.-Commenting on the results ot Tuesday's election, Wil liam J. Bryan gets considerable satis faction in viewing the outcome from a Democratic standpoint. He regrets the defeat of W. R. Hearst In New York, but cannot see wherein President Roosevelt can find any comfort in the vote of the Empire State. Mr. Bryan says the Pres ident's personal attack on Mr. Hearst was in very bad taste and he insists that the attack did not favorably impress the public. Particularly gratifying .to the Democratic heart, says Mr. Bryan, is the return of Missouri to the fold. In a statement issued tonight Mr. Bryan says: Trend Favors Democracy. The' election of 1906 Indicates a trend in favor of the Democratic party. It proves that the Democratic party Is growing stronger as Republican policies are de veloped. In New York the party has won a signal victory in spite of the tremendous efforts put forth In behalf of the adminis tration. The Republicans had all the money they wanted: they 'had the support of all the great corporations and at the close they had whatever Influence the administration could lend. The fact that the Democrats elected every state officer excepting the Governor shows that in the Empire State tne Republican party has been repudi ated. Democrats Elected Hughes. The defeat of Mr. Hearst, the Democratic and Independence League candidate for Governor, while a great disappointment to his friends a.nd to- the party..,.! ,x.plained by facts which rob Mr. Hughes' victory of both glory and political significance. Mr. McCarren, whom Mr. Hearst denounced as a boss, threw his Influence to Hughes and cut down Mr. Hearst's vote in Brooklyn. Mayor McClellan. the legality, of whose election Mr. Hearst had denied, used his Influence for Mr. Hughes arid cut down the Hearst vote in New York. Mr. Jerome, the Prose cuting Attorney of New York, who has also been attacked by Mr. Hearst, supported the Republican ticket, and his Influence was felt in Greater New York. Mr. Croker, during the last days of the campaign, made t TTTTT ni TTTrvOO A T iTTTOT Trt AND LOVE OF HOME OF THE SMALL HOUSEHOLDER THAT I GET MY ENORMOUS WEALTH." L an attack upon Mr. Hearst which doubt less weakened the Democratic candidate among the Tammanyltes. Mr. Murphy, the head of Tammany, while supporting the ticket, could not put much enthusiasm into the campaign owing to the personal contro versies which he had had with Mr. Hearst. It is evident, therefore, that Mr. Hughes owes his victory not to. Republican votes but to Democratic votes brought to elm by the very men whom he and the Republican leaders have been denouncing for years. Little Comfort for Roosevelt. President Roosevelt cannot find very much cause for rejoicing In the New York re turns. To have his own state go Demo cratic cannot be gratifying to him, and to And that his personal attack upon Mr.' Hearst had little influence on the result compared with the Influence exerted by McCarren, Croker and Murphy will not gladden his Thanksgiving day. The Presi dent's personal attack on Mr. Hearst was In bad taste, to say the least, and that the attack did not favorably Impress the public ought to be a warning for the future. Mr. Hearst is. of course, disappointed, and yet, when all the facts are known, he has much to congratulate himself upon. He made a tremendous fight against great odds, while he himself failed of election, his heroic 'struggle brought victory to the rest of the ticket. As the rest of the ticket stood for the same principles for which he con tended, it is evident that he has been vindicated on the position taken, and this must be more gratifying to him than any personal victory could be. His personal enemies have contributed to his defeat, but the triumph of "nls Ideas still leaves him In a position to continue the fight for the pro tection of the public against the encroach ment of predatory wealth. If the trend toward Democracy continues as strong for the 'next two years as It has been for the last two years. New York can be counted among the Democratic states in VJOSt and Mr. Hearst is in a position to do valiant work in securing a National triumph for progressive Democratic ideas. Democratic Gains in West. The Democratic gains in Congress have not been as great as the party expected, but they have been sufficient to make it probable that the Democrats will control the Congress to be elected In 1908. In nearly all the Legislatures in the middle states the Democrats have made decided gains and these promise much for tne Senatorial con tests which take place two years hence. In Iowa. Kansas and California the Demo crats made a splendid flght for the Guber natorial ticket. The reduction of Governor Cummins' majority from more than 70,000 to about 20.000 puts Iowa among the doubt ful states for two years hence. Kansas and California can no longer be claimed as cer tainly Republican. The fight made by Mr. Harris in the former state and by Mr. Bell in the latter give more than a reasonable hope of success two years hence. The victory in Missouri will bring joy to every Democratic heart. A wail went up when Missouri dropped out of the Demo cratic column two years ago. Her return is greeted with widespread rejoicing. Okla homa, the new state, comes In with a rous ing Democratic majority. The constitution will be written by the Democrats and sue will send two Senators to fight in the inter ests of the wealth-producers. Democracy welcomes Oklahoma to a seat near the head of the table Cause for Joy In Nebraska. In Nebraska the Democrats hoped, with the aid of the Populists, to elect their state ticket and their candidate for United States Senator. In this they failed, but they have made substantial gains throughout the state, as shown by the vote on Congressmen and the Legislative ticket, as well as by the state ticket. Taey have gained one Con gressman and ciir.e wt'.iin let's than 200 votes of gaining unothti. In two other dis tricts the Republican majorities have been so much reduced that we can reasonably count on four Democratic Congressmen two years from now. In the Legislature the fusionists will have about four times as many as they had two years ago. Hopes Roosevelt Will Not Run. The . Republicans have had an effective campaign- cry in "standing by the Presi dent." While the record showed that the Democrats In the Senate and the House (Concluded on Page 4.)

BITTER WORDS ARE SPOKEN McCarren Accused of Using Brooklyn Machine Against Hea"rst Har riman's Treatment of Fish Made Horrible Example. NEW YORK. Nov. 9. The Democratic state committee met here today and by a vote ot 30 to 13 adopted a resolution providing for an Investigation of the conduct of the Kings County Democratic organization, headed by State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, during the cam paign just closed. A delegation of Brooklyn Democrats, headed by Patrick Hayes, warden of the Kings County penitentiary, and an ex leader of one of the Assembly districts Included in McCarren's senatorial dis trict, preferred charges against the Sen ator and the Kings County committee. It was alleged that McCarren had "knifed" the head of the ticket and urged his followers to do the same. Defends Candidate's Claim. The state committee also took steps to defend any action that may be taken by the Republicans to overthrow the pluralities which seem to exist in favor of the Democratic candidates on the state ticket from Lieutenant Governor down. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the Demo cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor; William Schuyler Jackson, of Buffalo, the Democratic candidate for Attorney-General: Chairman W. J. Conners. who pre sided; Charles F. Murphy, 'leader of Tam many Hall; Mr. McCarren and Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, Democratic National committeemen, were among those pres ent. Max F. Ihmsen, state chairman of the Independence League, arrived at the Gilsey House soon after the committee met and was in conversation with a num ber of the members, although he did not attend the session. McCarren Accused of Bolting. Mr. Hayes and his associates remained with the committee for forty minutes and during that time there were frequent outbursts of applause. The delegation asked that Senator McCarren be relieved TTJTf TTDTTfl A T TTV TWlYITfiTT? V mm OUTCAST? from furher service on the committee. It was declared by the spokesman that "Mc Carren's place is with the Republicans." The petition which was presented de clared, among other things, that McCar ren openly advocated the election of the nominees of the Republican party and used the election machinery and the Kings County committee to accomplish the defeat of the regular Democratic can. didate for Governor. It was asserted that the action of McCarren and the Kings County committee "destroyed the Demo cratic organization of the county and made that organization simply an annex or ally of the Republican organization." In conclusion the petition asked that not only McCarren, but all the other members of the committee from Kings County be removed. McCarren Says Hearst Bolted. McCarren declared, in reply, that at a meeting of the King's County commit tee he had said something about Hearst. "And if the opportunity pre sents itself," he declared, "I shall re peat them. When a fellow hits you in the Jaw, I do not believe in turning the other cheek. I believe in striking back, straight from the shoulder. If on an other occasion I could make my state ments regarding Mr. Hearst any more emphatic, I should certainly do so. Mr. Hayes, who is opposing nie, never voted a Democratic ticket in his life. I have never voted a Republican ticket. I deny that I knifed the ticket of the Buffalo convention. As to Mr. Hearst, I regard him as the bolter, not myself, and the King's organization regarded him as a bolter." The motion to investigate the King's County organization was carried. The investigating committee will be named later. This for Mr. Harrlman. W. Bourke Cockran then offered a resolution, which was adopted, declar ing that "each member of this commit tee be instructed to place himself in communication with all local represen tatives of the party organization in his district, for the purpose of verifying the results of the late election." The resolution also said: While we regret profoundly that our can didate for Governor has himself fallen a victim to the rancor of the powerful public enemies against whose enormities his can didacy was a revolt, our deepest concern is for the sinister results entailed on the peo ple. Of these, the first (originally planned last Winter, but deferred while there re mained a possibility of Mr. Hearst's elec tion and which has followed within 24 hours of his defeat), is the deposition from the presidency of a great railway of a man whose record of brilliant business success is unstained or unclouded by the slightest moral reproach, on the ground, cynically avowed by his executioners, that the course of rectitude and probity which he has pur sued constitutes a claim of superiority to his fellow-directors. This flagrant outrage on common decency, which, If the Demo cratic candidate for Governor had been elect ed, would never have been attempted, while ominous of the length to which exponents of rottenness In corporate management now feel themselves encouraged to venture, must nerve Democrats to added watchfulness In protecting such fruits of conscientious vot ing as have succeeded in withstanding the blighting and abhorrent influence to which Mr. Hughes owes his election.

FINANCIAL PIRATES, IS REPLY Mew York Life Lawyer Scorns Enemy's Charges. EFFORT TO ROUT THE GANG Cntermeyer Says Decent Citizens Unite to Kick Out Present Trus tees and Exposes Attempt to Mutilate Armstrong Law. NEW TORK, Nov. 9 Arguments on the motion in the action brought by S. J. Farrelly against the New York Life Insurance Company for an injunction re straining the officers and trustees from spending the company's funds for cam paign purposes were continued today in the Supreme Court. W. N. Cromwell, counsel for the company, said he would show the ofllcers did not .spend a cent of company's funds for campaign pur poses. Mr. Cromwell asserted that the charges that any of the company's funds had been expended for campaign purposes were baseless and simply grew out of Mr. Untermyer's imagination. Mr. Cromwell asserted that Farrelly has no property rights in the action, be ing simply a creditor. "Has he not a right to take part in the election?" broke in Mr. Untermyer. Protecting Their Reputations. "I am not questioning the defendant's rights in that respect, but on the broad grounds of the law," replied Mr. Crom well. "I am not interposing any legal barriers, but I assert that the company has complied with the law of 1S06 and has not violated the provisions of any other law. It is inconceivable that we are to stand helpless while assassins ot reputations stab us in the back, and not protect ourselves from the .issaults of 100 men or a dozen groups of men who might seek to obtain control of the vast interests." "Do you maintain that a campaign can be carried on at the company's expense?" asked Mr. Untermyer. "No," replied Mr. Cromwell. Mr. Cromwell argued that there was nothing in the documents before the court indicating that the company had done a single thing save to comply with the law. ."Its whole attitude." declared Mr. Cromwell, "has been that of dignity and reserve and its instructions were those of helpfulness to the opposition, but it did say: "We believe In the administra tion ticket and disbelieve in the opposi tion ticket.' Out of the 5000 agents of the company not a single man I know has had a voice of disapproval of the management." Fntermyer's Fierce Retort. "Anybody who attempts to oppose these financial pirates," said Mr. Untermyer in reply, "is subjected to vituperation and abuse in the interest of men who six months ago were doing their best to keep out of prison. Now they are at tacking honest policy-holders and Gover nor Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania, and Governor Roberts, of Connecticut, who are on the International committee to protect hundreds of policy-holders in their states. Another member of the commit tee Is Judge Parker." "Is he a ' policy-holder?" asked Mr. Cromwell. "Yes. and If he was not," replied Mr. Untermyer, "he is a decent citizen and would give his time and service to rout this gang. Nicholas Longworth is also a member of the committee, and his name is a guarantee of decency. He Is not engaged In an attempt to rob the company., but in the effort to kick out men who ought to be kicked out." Tinkering With Armstrong Laws. Mr. Untermyer referred to the lobby ing of the company's officers at Albany and fold for the first time what he said was the history of the way the Legis lature w-as forced in one day to reverse its action on the White amendment. He said he had telephoned Governor Higgins and Senator Armstrong that unless the publicity feature was restored the in ternational committee would disband and the Republican party might take the consequences, and that there was a cau cus that night and the Legislature re stored the feature, but in a mutilated, form. Mr. Untermyer declared that the com pany's lobbyists had made voting as diffi cult as possible; that the Armstrong legislation was cumbrous and weak, and that the company was corrupting the election with the aid of its WOO agents, who were circulating falsehoods all over the world, which the committee was powerless to counteract.
