"In our form of government, indepen dent of each other. Is first the President, then the Congress, then the courts, each Independent of the other and each a check upon the other, a division of power under which we have grown great and strong. If I were living by the sweat of my face In, factory, in machine shop, or on the railroad, with the changed condition of production. I would strike hands with my fellow laborer and organise. What fori To make a three-fold cord and a fourfold cord, not easily broken, so that we could eontrsct with those who employ, and get our share of the profits. "There Is no Justification, there is no defense for the organisation of labor from the economic standpoint other than the one I have made. The Constitution of the United States gives the courts power to determine all questions In law snd in equity that arise under the Con stitution. For 610 years in Engllsh . speaking countries the equity court, when Irreparable damage is about to be inflicted upon the property of another, issues its mandate of injunction and says stop until the matter is determined. What Gompers Demands. "Mr. Gompers. when the writ Issues, demands that if the people or any of them do not obey the writ, the judge cannot punish the disobedience unless It took place In his sight, but that it shall be sent to a Jury to try. "That Is not all. We have what is known as the Sherman anti-trust act. . It, like the grace of God. covers every Amer ican citizen, and if any set of men com bine and do sets In restraint of trade among the states, they are liable to a penalty. Now. what is the amendment that the Democrats propose? It is this, that If Bryan comes Into power the Sher man act will be so amended that It will apply to everybody In the United States, save alone the labor union and Its mem bers. "If my constituents send me back to the House, never, never, never, while water runs or grass grows, will I vote for a law that shall apply to one man and a different law that shall apply to another."

WRIGHT SETS NEW RECORD (Continued From First Page.) was tied to the seat next to Mr. Wright and. when he saw that he had stayed aloft for more than an hour, the time required in order for him to fulfill his contract with the Government, he made for "mother earth." swooping down In a sort of "bump the bumps" fashion. The machine bore down In the direc tion of the crowd, which quickly scat tered, fearing that the aeroplane would run them down. Raising a cloud of dust as it slid along on the skids, the aeroplane, which weighs nearly 1000 pounds, came to a stop within 20 feet of the crowd. As Mr. Wright stepped from the seat and removed his goggles, he was greet ed with lusty cheers. Calmly Starts) Up Again..

Aa the machine completed the- first round, the motor "skipped" on one cylinder, but the suc ceeding five laps there was no evidence that the engine was overtaxed by the great strain imposed upon U. After the sixth lap a landing was made within 100 feet of the "aerial garage," where the machine is sheltered. Mr. Wright, as usual, displayed no emo tion, but Lieutenant Lahm was most en thusiastic. "It beats spherical ballooning, was nis firt comment. "I had a fine trip, but did not attempt to manipulate any of the levers. I am impatient now until we have machine which we can operate our selves." Almost Contract Speed. In the first flight this evening the aero plane circled the field 55 times at an estl- ated speed or 3 miles an nuur. xun power was not iuny lumeu on m nj the flights. It is estimated that a dis tance of 3S.5 miles was covered in the longest flight. "As the anemometer attached to the machine reelsters only every ten kilo meters." said Sir. Wright. "It is impossible for me to tell accurately what speed I made. From the figures registerd I think it was either 37 of 40 miles an hour. I will probably make a few short flights to morrow, in order to see how my present speed compares with that made in our flights at Dayton and Kittyhawk." HITCHCOCK SETTLES FIGHT IN WEST VIRGINIA.

OPEN VERDICT RETURNED Rustln's Companion on Fatal Xlght Is Nervous Wreck and Subject to . Attacks or Insanity Abbie Rice Also Is Held. OMAHA. Neb.. Sept 9. "Dr. Frederick Rustin came to his death by a pistol shot fired by a person unknown." is the verdict of the Coroner's Jury, which took up the greater part of two days hear ing evidence. ' The Jury recommended that Charles E. Davis, who was yesterday implicated by Mrs. Abbie C. Rice, be held and that bis) conduct on the night of September 1 be thoroughly Investi gated. Charles E. Davis was taken into cus tody late this afternoon and Immed iately taken before Justice of the Peace Crawford, where, after arraignment, he was released on a bond signed by his brothers. Davis Has Insane Spells. Today it was stated by Frederick Davis, brother of the man undsr arrest that Charles a Davis had been afflicted for about IS years with spells of Insanity and that they bad come on him periodically during that time. Mrs. Abbie .Rice, whose sensational statement yesterday caused the Jury to Investigate the Davis story, is also de tained until further investigation can be made. Davis Is "Nervous Wreck. When the Inquest was continued today, Frederick H. Davis, who was overcome with emotion and forced to leave the stand last evening, waa not recalled. Charles E. Davis had been detained at the home of his brother-in-law, Luther Krounts, under surveillance of the police. Mr. Davis is reported to be almost a nervous wreck, and the strain of the past few days has made It necessary to keep him constantly under treatment of Phy sicians. Most of the testimony introduced this morning was used to confirm the story told yesterday by Mrs. Abbie Rice. Clara Gleason, who runs a rooming house, testified that Dr. Rustin and Mrs. Rice had occupied a room at her home for four days prior to the shooting, and that Mrs. Rice came home about midnight the night of the shooting. Mrs. Rice hart called up -the Rustin home several times between midnight and morning. she testified, apparently without receiving any satisfaction as to the whereabouts oi the physician. .-:. THREAT TO SHED BLOOD ENGLISH PROTESTANTS RAGE AGAINST CATHOLICS. Ask King to Forbid Procession in London, but He Ignores De nunciation of Prelates. LONDON. Sept. 9. A number of Protestant societies which recently petitioned King Edward not -to receive Cardinal .Vincente Vannuttelll. . presi dent of the nineteenth annual Euchar istlc Congress, which convenes In West minster Cathedral tonight, have gone further and telegraphed his majesty at Doncaster. requesting him to ask the home office to forbid the proces sion of Catholic societies to be held Sunday in honor of the Blessed Sacra ment, . on the ground that It likely would cause rioting and even blood shed. His majesty ignored the former com municatlon from the societies, and it is not likely he will answer this- one. The Protest Alliance is an uninfluen- tial body, and Its predictions of trou ble are not likely to be fulfilled un less the members themselves create the disturbance. The Roman Catholic ecclesiastics who were gathered in London for the con ference, although looked upon with some curiosity, everywhere have been treated with respect. The Duke of Norfolk, who is the most prominent Catholic In England, has opened his town house and will give a series of receptions.

MACHINE WINS ITS POINT Man Who Caused Submarine Investi gation Fiasco Wins In Face of Strong Opposition Serious Division "In ' Party.' NEW HAVEN. Conn., Sept. 8. A funny story, having for Its moral "Let bygones be bygones," and a round of cheers for the whole ticket. National and state, brought to a close with unbounded en thusiasm the Republican State Conven tion, held In the Hyperion Theater today. In the words of United States Senator Brandegee, the chairman. It was the most remarkable convention the party in Con necticut has ever held. The ticket Is as follows:. Governor, George W. Lilley, of Water bury; Lieutenant-Governor. Frank B. Weeks, of Mlddletown: Secretary of State. Mathew H. Rogers, of Bridgeport; State Treasurer. Freeman Patten, of Stafford; State Controller. Thomas D. Bradstreet, of Thomaston; representatlve-at-large in Congress, John W. Ttllston, of New Ha ven. Save for the lieutenant-Governorship, the nominations were In most cases cli maxes of months of the sharpest kind of political skirmishing. The big contest was that between Congressman Lilley. who brought about the Inquiry into the Electric Boat Company before a Congressional committee last Spring, and Lieutenant Governor Lake, of Hartford. The entire organization lined up behind the former in fulfillment of a pledge given two years ago, and Mr. Lake went down to defeat by a 3 to 1 vote. DEMOCRATS MAY BEAT L-IL-LEY Submarine Fiasco Causes Bitter Op- . position In Own Party. BT FRANK B. LORD. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) Let it not be supposed that, be cause old General Apathy Is In the saddle here commanding the National campaign, Connecticut is not stirred to its depths politically this year. There is more in terest and controversy in one hour over the Gubernatorial contest than there has been throughout the whole Taft-Bryan campaign. The question with the Con necticut people is: Who shall be Gov ernor? rather than: Who shall be Presi dent? and because of the personality which has naturally come into the con test, the fight Is one of National import ance. If the Democrats elect their can didate for Governor. and this they are quite likely to do, the Republican state machine will have no one to blame but itself. The personal equation in the fight is Congressman George L. Lilley, the man who mad such a brilliant fiasco of his submarine-boat charges in Congress last session. Lilley Is the machine's can didate for Governor. Two years ago It was' all arranged that he should have the nomination this year. . Iiilley's Submarine Fiasco. If Lilley had been wise, he would have left well enough alone, "but. well" say his opponets, "read the story of his mis erable and humiliating failure in Congress and Judge for yourself." Investigations have been made popular in recent years, and many an investigator has been brought prominently into the limelight and has had political honors heaped upon .him as witness Governor Hughes, Gov ernor Folk, of Missouri, Attorney-General Hadley of the same state, who is now Republican candidate for Governor, and others. Lilley thought lie saw an op portunity to become a second. Hughes; in fact, he said so. There was rivalry be tween two submarine-boat concerns; one had been successful in meeting Govern ment requirements and in getttlng con tracts on merits. The defeated company was a Connecticut concern. It poured a long tale of alleged wrones and "frauds into his ear and he listened. Without any particular knowledge on the subject, as he subsequently admitted but trusting, as he testified, to "current gossip" and "rumors in the air," he made charges right and left in Congress, ac cusing his fellow-members of bribery, corruption and graft, and demanded on investigation. The Boutell committee was appointed and Mr. Lilley was called upon to produce his evidence. For weeks he groped about in the dark and could show nothing. It then developed that his whole "case" was a tissue of falsehoods supported by forged documents and anonymous letters and papers. The com mittee completely exonerated those whom Lilley had charged with corruption, and in its report gave Lilley such a scathing denunciation as was never before ad ministered to a member of Congress by his fellow-members. It was a non partisan report and was adopted prac ticaUv by a two-thirds vote, which would have meant expulsion, had not the com mittee in sympathy withheld this extreme punishment. There was a time when Lilley could have escaped this humilia tion by withdrawing from the case when he saw his mistakes, but he fought on wth bulldog tenacity and his charge, operated as a boomerang upon himself. Bitter Fight on Lilley. Now Lilley haa come home and wants vindication. His opponents said. Go back to Congress if -you want vindica tion don't try to get it by Jeopardising party success in running for Governor. Many of his former best friends opposed his nomination, but the machine was ob durate. Its command was. Lilley shall be nominated. The New Haven Courier Journal, the leading Republican paper of the state. Is at the head of the fight against him. It has proclaimed the slogan "Lilley must not be made Gov ernor"' and has shown up his record in the submarine matter with telling effect. It has burned its bridges, so it is Im possible, to see how the paper can i sup nrt him if -he is nominated. Lilley is taking a plea to state pride but in fact he relied 1 ufmn the machine to nominal' him. Democrats Have High Hopes. The Democrats confidently expect ' to beat Lillev. Lilley is, the Connecticut representative of the Beef Trust and is reputed to be worth anywhere from J'tOOCO to $600,000. He Is fighting as ' for his life, having spent, it Is said a fortune for a nomination which he might have had upon a silver olatter for nothing. If he had been wise and let well enough alone. The Democrats are talk ing of nominating State Senator Archi bald McNeil, who was one of the 57 va rieties mentioned at Denver for Vice President. Judge Robertson, a strong man. is another candidate, but those who are looking for a redhot campaign want ex-Governor Waller named, and they de clare that he can beat Lilley. Olympla Beer.
