Stands Against Both Preda tory Rich and Predatory Poor and For Lincoln's Ideas. LANSIXG. Mich., May a. After a strenuous six hours in the state capital, during which he made three addresses and held a reception at the capltol. Pres ident Roosevelt left at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon for Washington over the Lake Bhore road. No untoward Incident hap pened during the Presldenfs visit and nothing occurred which in any way ex cited the suspicions of the scores of po lice officers In the city today. At the Agricultural College this after noon' the President spoke to about 25,000 people from a stand erected on a little knoll at the head of the campus. Seated en benches Immediately before the stand were students of the college and hundreds of alumni, who have been attending the semi-centennial celebration of the found- Ing of the college. Standing on the turf behind were thousands o people from this and other Michigan cities. The President delivered his second ad dress in the capltol about 11:15 A. M. and was driven with his party to the college, where President J. I. Snyder, of the In stitution, entertained them at luncheon. Before walking out to the platform to begin his address the President planted a maple tree" on a knoll In President Sny der's yard. The great crowd before the speaking stand was held in check by a National Guard regiment, which did po lice duly. throughout the day, both in the city and at the college grounds. Answers College Tell. A distinguished company of public men and educators was seated on the plat form with the President. It Included United States Senators . J C Burrows and W. A. Smith, Secretary of Agricul ture. James 'Wilson and President G. G. Angell, of the University of Michigan. ' The graduating class of ' the college Jumped to its feet as the President enr tered the stand and gave three rousing ""rahs," to which the President responded with a low and laughing shout of "touch down," which brought more applause from the student body. The gTeat assemblage rose and sang "America," after which Mr. Snyder in troduced the chief executive with merely the words, "Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States." The President was given the closest at tention throughout his address and was frequently Interrupted' by applause. Ha Interjected informal remarks and advice at several places, bringing a great burst of laughter and cheering when he turned toward a dozen young women in the graduating class and said: Good Wives for Farmers. "I believe that you young ladies will make first-class farmers' wives and I heartily congratulate the farmers of the future on the unexampled prospects be fore them." The President also interjected a plea for the paying of proper respect to man ual labor. "I shall be very disappointed In you boys here," he said to the graduating class, "if you cannot work with your hands and are afraid to have your work ing clothes look as though you do work." At the conclusion of the President's ad dress the graduating class filed across the platform and the President presented to them their diplomas. Will Join Harvard Faculty.. A few minutes before 4 o'clock the Pres ident entered an automobile and was driven to the station. A delegation from Use convention of the Associated Hard ware Clubs was waiting to extend the greetings of the convention, which opened today at Detroit, Mr. Roosevelt, In speaking to the Har vard men, is reported by one of the lat ter to have said: "In one year and 11 months I expect to be an active member of the organisa tion." President Angell received the degree of L.L. D. and Gifford Plnehot that of doc tor of science. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson also received the degree of doc tor of laws. Enoch A. Bryan, president of Washington State College, was given the degree of doctor of laws. Learn to Shoot Straight. The first event of the day was a recep tion In the executive rooms of the Capl tol. at which the President shook hands with about 1000 people. He then stepped out on the balcony of the Capltol and spoke for five minutes to 20.000 people, praising the record of the Michigan troops in the Civil and Spanish Wars. He urged the state to encourage marksmanship, concluding with the words: "Build up the old American power of hooting straight." The President was given an ovation as he ooncluded his balcony speech and went Into the hall of the House of Rep resentatives to address the members of tha Legislature. He spoke there about 10 minutes. He said that the railroad problem of this country must be dealt with unflinchingly, but with sanity and reason. There must be steady progress along the lines already laid down. The President urged upon the Legis lators the necessity for public men to be careful about making campaign promises and about keeping them when made. Applying this to the question of control of great corporations, ha said: Reformers Real Conservatives. "We are still a longOray from the millennium," and ne pointed out the danger of "committing yourselves to a programme that promises too much." As to the "foolish conservatives," they failed, he said, to see that "we are the real conservatives, the real friends of property when we try to do away with the abuse, of property." . He continued: We must not be misled either by these often well-meant men who let a vague gen eral desire to reform everything supplant the place of exact thinking In their minds, and who, therefor, promise too loosely what could not possibly be performed, or else Indulge in a general declaration against 4 Secretary of Agrrieultare James WU on, Loading Flrnre in Jubilee of Michigan Agricultural College. the evils without pointing out how the evils are to be cut out. In the war against the abuses of great Individuals, and especially of great corpo rate wealth, we need to show absolute un flinching resolution, and yet to combine that with sanity as well as with courage. We need to show, too, the very reverse of any vindictive spirit. The minute you begin to display any spirit of revenge or to administer the laws in a spirit of re venge, you are starting to invoke trouble, and ultimately reaction. We need to show the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, his sanity and his broad and kindly charity, and yet his resolute determination that the evil must be done away with. Justice to Rich and Poor. Tou have been very kind In alluding to certain things that I have done or have tried to do. My power to do them depend ed entirely upon the support that I have re ceived from the Representatives In Con gress from Michigan and all our other tates. (Applause). We have taken certain step, somej good long steps. In the line of securing a better administration of Justice without regard to whether the man Is rich or poor, and we have taken steps towards securing better laws for the supervision and control of the great fortunes, especially of great corporation fortunes used In business. We are going steadily forward along those lines, and the only party allusion I shall make today Is to say that the Republican party In 99 per cent of Its make-up and In all Its highest thought is essentially the party of Abraham Lincoln's plain people and shall continue to be such. There will not be one backward step along the course which we have marked out to follow. tLoud and prolonged applause). I ask you to judge of present promises by past performances and to request from your Representatives, from your public men, not promises of the Impossible, but promises of certain things that can be done which will not bring about a complete solution of the difficulties that confront us, but which will be another long stride toward that complete solution, and, finally, above all things to approach the problem In a proper spirit. In the Lincoln spirit, not to be mis led by the demagogue on one side or re action upon the other. Let us set our faces like flint against predatory wealth, but also against predatory poverty, with the empha sis on the predatory. The President then went to the col lege campus, where he delivered his principal address. Industrial Training Neglected Mr. Roosevelt said our school sys tem had lacked industrial training to fit a man for the shop and the farm. This was a serious lark, for we must develop a system under which each individual citizen shall be trained so as to be effective individually as an economic unit, and fit" to be organ ized with his fellows so that he and they can work in efficient fashion to gether. It was in accord with demo cratic principles to furnish the highest average industrial training for the skilled workman, but we had tended to devote our energies to producing high grade men at the top rather than in the ranks. We had done almost nothing to equip the private soldiers of the industrial army the mechanic, the metal-worker, the carpenter. Too often our. schools train away from the shop and the forge. No Industrial school can turn out a finished jour neyman; but It can furnish the ma terial out of which a finished Journey man can be made. He continued: R colly Dangerous Competition. We hear a great deal of the need of pro tecting our workingmen from competition with pauper labor. I have very little fear of competition of pauper labor. The nations with pauper labor are not the formidable Industrial competitors of this country. What the American workingman has to fear is the competition of the highly skilled workingman of the countries of greatest industrial pro ficiency. By the tariff and by our Immigra tion laws we can always protect ourselves against the competition of pauper labor here at home; but when we contend for the markets of the world we 'can get no pro tection, and we shall then find that our most formidable competitors are the nation In which there Is the most highly developed business ability, the must highly developed Industrial skill; end these are the qualities which we must ourselves develop.

Alley testified that Adams offered him $2000 if he would secure its pas sage. Upon Alleys refusal, he said Adams offered to Increase the price to $5000. Adams also testified that Alley had asked him to approach the attorney of the Pioneer Telephone Company with an offer of $3000 if he would defeat a franchise of the Independent com pany.

OHIO FINEH0LDS GOOD Standard Oil Company Verdicts Up held in Higher Court. FINDLAY, Ohio., May JTL The Circuit Court today rendered a decision holding that the Probate Court of Hancock County had Jurisdiction in the case In which Prosecutor David filed information against the Standard Oil Company some time ago, charging it with conspiracy against trade. Probate Judge Banker assessed a fine of $5000 after a verdict of guilty had been rendered by a Jury in the trial. The case was carried to the Common Pleas Court and, that court held that the Probate Court had no juris diction. The Circuit Court now reverses the Common Pleas Court and thus affirms the original finding. It Is probable that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court at Columbus. REDUCE NAVAL PERSONNEL Admiral Evans Heads Board to "Weed Out" Officers. WASHINGTON, May 81. Admiral Evans will preside tomorrow at the Navy Department at a meeting of naval com-, manders of high grade, appointed to weed out a sufficient number of officers to meet the needs of the naval personnel act and prevent stagnation in promotion.

Altogether this act requires this year that 22 vacancies be created. 'Li DEFIES THE JUDGE Pairall Twice Threat ened With Jail. AROUSES DUNNE TO ANGER Day of Fierce Wrangling in San Francisco Court. NO PROGRESS WITH JURY Heney Charges Schmitz' Friends With Tampering: With Jury and Grand Jury Is Called to Con sider DInan"s Conduct. SAN FRANCISCO, May 81. Charles H. Falrall, of counsel for the defense, was twice within a few minutes sentenced to Jail for contempt of court by Superior Judge Dunne shortly before the adjourn ment of the Schmitz trial today. The or ders were subsequently revoked by the Court at the request of the Mayor's senior counsel, ex-Judge J. C. Campbell, Joined in by Assistant District Attorney Heney. The sensational Incident was the cul mination of a long day of bickerings and quarrels between . opposing counsel that more than once threatened unpleasant results. Eleven jurors had been finally accepted and sworn and the twelfth had been by both sides accepted subject to peremptory challenge, when Mr. Heney announced that lie desired to further question a Juror who was accepted last Wednesday, John O'Mara, a blacksmith, "who," said the prosecutor, "we have just been informed, is an employe of the city." Juror Talks With Schmitz' Man. Mr. O'Mara satisfied the court that such was not the case, and then Heney propounded . some rapid-fire questions showing that during the noon recess the blacksmith had been shadowed by one of Special Agent Burns' men, who had seen him stop and talk with one Ed. Dennison on Fillmore, street, enter a saloon with him and emerge 15 minutes later, after which Dennison hurried away to the office of Herbert Schmitz, brother of the Mayor, "evidently, to report." Under Mr. Heney's questioning, Mr. O'Mara at first denied that the Schmitz trial had been mentioned between him and Dennison, but later admitted that the fact of his being a Juror had been re marked, though not discussed. ' To all of this Mr. Campbell entered objection, to which Mr. Heney heatedly replied taht it was for the purpose of showing an attempt to tamper with a Juror. Mr. Falrall, supporting the objec tion, got Into a snarl of words with the Assistant District Attorney, during which, he warned that official, to address him with care. Falrall Sentenced to Jail. "Oh, yes," sneered Mr. Heney, "you're a fighting man I'm scared to death of you." Mr. Falrall replied in kind and Judge Dunne orderedhim to be quiet. Instead C iT WYER of obeying, the attorney got to his feet and launched a reply. "Sit down, Mr. Falrall," commanded Judge Dunne, "or I shall send you to Jail." "I don't, care anything about that," re plied Mr. Falrall, waving his arms con temptuously. So incensed was Judge Dunne at this that, though he spoke quietly, he stum bled over his words. "Mr. Falrall. your conduct is boister ous, offensive, insulting and contemptuous. I adjudge you guilty of contempt of this court and as punishment tt is or dered that you be confined in the County Jail in the City and County of San Francisco for a period of 24 hours." "I thank your honor. I think that is a distinction," retorted Mr. Fairall. "Mr. Fairall," said Judge Dunne, "I ad Judge you further guilty of boisterous, of fensive, Insulting and contemptuous con duct, and I adjudge you guilty of con tempt of this court, and as a punishment therefor it is ordered, adjudged and de creed that you be confined in the County Jail of the City and County of San Fran cisco for a period of 48 hours. Now, Mr. Campbell, will you proceed?" Bray's Relation to Schmitz. Mr. Bray, one of the 11 sworn, was the Fred M. Warner, Governor of Michi gan, Who Was President Roose velt's Host at IaJiMng. next to draw the after-fire of the prose cution, to whom had been conveyed the Information that he was related by mar riage to the Mayor. Mr. Bray could not say whether or not this was a fact. He had heard that it was. Schmitz himself, though he had been refused audience earlier in the day by the court, came to the rescue. He rose and made this state ment: "If your honor' please, the relation Is this, as I can trace it down and I would not want to see a relative of mine sitting on my Jury the relation is that this gen tleman's wife is related by fourth cousin ship, to a gentleman who married my wife's sister a man by the name of Mur phy." Everybody laughed and Judge Dunne threatened to clear the courtroom if the offense were repeated. Mr. Bray was ex cused from the Jury, the court holding that, no matter how distant the relation ship with the defendant. It disqualified him. Mr. Bray himself asked to be dis charged. Jury Back Where It Was. Mr. Harris was excused peremptorily by the prosecution, and Mr. Arms, assistant (Concluded on Page 4.) CONTENTS TODAY'S PAPER The Weather.

REMARKABLE SPEECH IN COURT Lawyers Spar and Borah ' Scores on Defense- JURY NEARLY COMPLETE Two More Jnrors Needed and Onlj One Peremptory Challenge Re mains May Complete the Panel This Afternoon. BOISE. Idaho, Mar 81. (Special.) A feature of the Haywood case today was the excusing of J. E. Tourtellotte from the Jury because of the scruples which he had expressed against capital punishment. When he was placed In the box last week he declared he had such scruples, but would make an ex ception in the case of a man accused of murder committed in accordance with the programme of any society whose purpose was to rule by violence and murder. The state accepted him. and the defense did likewise, though he stated to Mr. Darrow on his ex amination that he could see that Hay wood might belong to such a society. The matter was taken up In a con sultation of all the attorneys Just be fore adjournment at noon. They re tired for the purpose and afterward Mr. Hawley and Mr. Nugent held a wh'spered conversation with Judge Wood. Immediately after the opening of the afternoon session Judge Wood called attention to the matter. Mr. Tourtellotte then said: His View of Death Penalty. I do not want It understood that I have any desire to shirk a duty I owe any fellow man. I recognize two thlnifs in this world. Flrst, I recognize alleglnnce to God. and, second, I realize my allegiance to my coun try. My business would suffer if I was kept on this Jury, but that would make no difference with me. My duty would be here in preference to my business, if I really felt I could take the oath as a Juror. I have tried to state my position clearly and I have been honest about it. If the oath I am asked to take as Juror ran be so worded that I can, if I And this man guilty of being the leader in an or ganisation that has been a serious menace to the life of society guilty of a murder as an anarchist might be guilty sign a verdict that would mean a death penalty, and so that, if I found him guilty of murder but not as so stipulated I could return a verdict that would mean imprisonment, not death, then X am perfectly willing to take that oath and sit on this jury. I could then act freely and conscientiously. Would Refuse to Take Oath. Judge Wood announced that Mr. Tour tellotte, if he remained on the Jury, would have to take the same oath as all the Jurors took. Mr. Tourtellotte replied that he was no lawyer and saw no lawyer, and did not know what penalty might be in store for him should he refuse to take the oath, but that he would have to refuse to take it when the time came. Judge Wood stated plainly that a man should not be compelled to sit on the Jury holding the views held by Mr. Tourtel lotte. He announced that either side might re-examine the Juror. The defense refused to re-examine. Senator Borah consented to do so, after being made aware that such procedure was desired by the court. He asked Mr. Tourtellotte a few questions, and then announced: "Well, we'll challenge this Juror for Im plied bias, on the" Lawyers' Passage al Arms. "We will deny the challenge," inter rupted Mr. Darrow. Mr. Borah looked up quickly with con tempt upon his face. "Go ahead, then." he replied. "If you are going to deny the challenge, I will not challenge this Juror. He Is good enough for us. Tou know why I was about to challenge him." "Tou bet we do," chuckled Mr. Richard son, and started to say more, when the court Interrupted to say that he was ready to sustain a challenge regardless of any exception or objection from the defense. The challenge was then stated by Mr. Borah and Mr. Tourtellotte was excused. It had become well settled In the minds of all that Mr. Tourtellotte could not be held on the Jury. Though he qualified enunciation of his attitude toward capital punishment, the statute is explicit and it is perfectly evident that Judge Wood had determined the man would have to be re leased. The state exercised its last peremptory challenge on Kelson Freeland, who had Just been passed for cause. There had been nothing brought out in the examina tion to show be was especially unsatis factory to the state, but the attorneys for the prosecution were well satisfied with all the others, while there was tome little doubt about Freeland. May Complete Jury Today. Everybody is looking for the Jury to be completed early tomorrow. Ten talesmen were examined today and of these three qualified. There remain but two more to qualify. The state has exercised its last peremptory and the defense baa one. There Is some talk tonight, however, of the defense making an effort to reopenvthe examination of some Jurors on affidavits they have, and another is to the effect that the state may desire to do the same respecting one man. If that should be (Concluded on Page 2 ) r
