Fight Against Standard.
Declaring- that both of the old parties
re ruled by machine politics and pre
datory wealth. Thomas L. Hlsgen, Inde
pendence, party nominee for President,
last night commended to the voters the
new political party, in an address before
;5M people at the Armory. The audience
was plainly disappointed in the failure of
William Randolph Hearst, founder of
the party, to accompany Mr. Hlsgen to
this city and a great many left the hall
before the address was concluded. The
Inclement weather also served to reduce
the attendance.
Tells of Fight on Standard.
The principal part off Mr. Hlsgen's ad
dress was devoted to a recital of his per
sonal experience with the Standard Oil
Company, which, for over 15 years, he
said, had sought unsuccessfully to force
the Hlsgen Brothers, of Massachusetts,
out of the oil msrket.
Mr. Hl?gen prefaced this discussion by
chanting, that the reel Issue In the pend
ing campaign was that of the trusts; that
it remained for the people at the Novem
her election to decide whether they or
the trusts shall rule this country. It was
alleged that both of the old parties are
owned by corporate Interests, making a
new party a necessity.
During the addresses repeated efforts
were made to break up the meeting by
men in different parts of the hall who
shouted the name of Bryan. At oth?r
times when an opening was presenre.l by
tha different speakers there was a chorus
of cries for "Tart." "Bryan" and "Iebs,"
but the programme was not seriously in
terrupted. Country or Trnsts to Rule?
"The question Is now whether the trusts
are going to rule the country or the
country Is going to rule the trusts," said
Mr. Hlsgen. "I am no orator. I have
been doing something very different from
speechmaking during my life. My broth
ers and myself have fought one of the
greatest, one of the most remorseless, one
of the most tyrannical corporations in
the world the Standard OH Company.
"While Mr. Hearst has exposed the
methods of this trust and Its dealings
with such men as Foraker. of Ohio;
Bailey, of Texas; Molurln. of North
Carolina, and Governor Haskell, he has
made no distinction between the Demo
cratic and the Republican parties. In
fact, he has proved to you how this great
corporation has controlled the Senate and
Congress and how In that way it is con
trolling th entire country."
" Mr. Hisen then gave a history of the
fight between his own private company
and that of the Standard Oil corporation
and declared that through persistence
and the co-operation of the people the
b:g octopus hsd been worsted and the
private company was now serving the
people of Western Massachusetts coal oil
for 10 rents a gallon at a saving to them
of about M.iW annually.
tajs He Helps Poor Man.
"Today my brother and I are selling
oil and making a good living at the rate
of in cents a gallon." continued the
speaker. "Are you buying it for that
price? I guess not. We are helping the
pHr man ho has to buy kerosene; the
rli-h man has his electric light,
"I am asked: 'How is it that you have
associated with the Independence party?"
In my younger days I never took very
much interest In politics. I alwaya tried
in my humble way to find out which
party the Standard Oil was supporting.
If they supported a Democrat I supported
a Republican; if they supported a Re
publican I voted for a IVmocrat. When
I found they owned both parti I did
not vote at all.
"My friends. hat we want in this
country is good, honest competition. You
know the watchword of the Standard
nil Company, that "Crime is cheaper than
competition." We want this competition
to follow us right into our party. What
we want now Is an Independence party.
In fact you have demonstrated that by
your presence here tonight. The old
parties are so imi.h alike that you can
cot tell the difference between them.
Aims of New Party.
"The slm of the Independence party is
not to advocate any idiotic measures that
are going to give the control of affairs
to the trusts, but it proposes to restore
tha poser to the people to whom it be
longs. And the only way to do this is to
drive these Interests out of the Govern
ment. We are going to do It, maybe not
today nor et tomorrow, but in the end
our principles will triumph "

pendence party organization in this

Clarence Smith Subdues Him..
NEW YORK. Oct. 1Z Joseph Krats. an
insane man of Brooklyn, who in an at
tempt to throw himself into the East

powered and bound. Later he calmed
down and was taken before a court,
charged with attempted suicide.
The Magistrate, in committing him to
the observation ward of Kings County
Hospital, praised Policeman Clarence
Smith, who had followed the crazed man
In his climb to the tower's narrow top
and after an awful hand-to-hand con
flict, during which Krats got out a razor,
subdued him and summoned assistance.
The Mazistrate said:
"Heroes like you deserve special rec
ognition. You are a brave man."

Miner Is Asphyxiated and Rescuers
Almost Share Fate.
AUSTIN. Nev.. Oct. 12. "Boys, I am
going." With this cry. A. Dron, a pio
neer mining man of this place, fell
inert on the 450-foot level of the
Frost shaft Sunday and expires of
asphyxiation. He had gone 15 feet
below the point where the air was
good, and was overcome by the deadly
gas thst pervaded the lowest levels of
the shaft.
Conrad Cummings and Henry Wil
liams, two fellow-miners, dropped
down the shaft in an effort to rescue
Dron. The foul air put out their can
dles. Their efforts to find Dron in
the darkness were futile, and they, too,
were overcome.
When their plight became known,
rescuers brought them to the surface.
For an hour doctors worked over the
bodies, and finally restored Cummings
and Williams.

Three. In Fourth Inning.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12. Detroit became a
real contender for the world's baseball
championship today when . It defeated
Chicago In decisive fashion, 8 to' 3.
Manager Jennings achieved this result
with a change in his line-up. Downs
was put on the bench and the efficient
dchaefer, who is at home in almost any
position, was shifted from third to sec
ond base, Coughlin occupying the third
sack. This shake-up, however, cannot be
said to have had any material effect In
winning the game, for neither Schaefer
nor Coughlin got a hit, while Coughlin
bungled one ot his two chances. Thomas
was placed behind the bat in place of
Schmidt, with better effect, for his double
scored one run.
i Cubs Held Down by MuIIin.
Counting the world's series of last
year, today's victory was the first De
troit had scored In eight contests for the
highest prize in baseball in the world.
Mullln, elected by Mr. Jennings to pitch
for Detroit, was steady throughout the
game, holding Chicago steady to seven,
scattered hits and passing only one man.
Pfelster's left-handed shoots for the most
part failed to puzzle the Michigan bats
men. Besides issuing three passes, he
was' hit safely 13 times, two of the
cluster being doubles and six of them oc
curring In one Inning.
It was this Inning, the sixth, which
gave the game to Detroit. The gray-clad
Tigers, two runs behind Chicago when
the inning opened, came across the plate
In a procession. The crowd, with the ex
ception of a minority from Detroit, which
enjoyed the proceedings hugely, pleaded
with vociferous unanimity for the retire
ment of Pfelster. Manager Chance, who
filled to show any traces of displeasure
at the way in which Detroit came up
from behind and went ahead, smiled
cheerfully and ignored the request.
Cobb's Wonderful Work.
Tyrus Cobb, Idol of the Detroit enthu
siasts, whose playing was a great disap
pointment a year ago, came Into his own
today. He batted like the natural1 hitter
he is. and ran bases like a flash.. His
batting average for the day was 800 per

the nearest courtroom, where the knot
was tied.
Mrs. Von Meter and Mrs. Hayden
came South today. The groom will
follow at the conclusion of his Oakland
engagement.

will when voting and will cast their bal
lots for the Republican nominee.
"We believe," aaid one of the men to
day, "that there are thousands of labor
union men in the state who will vote for
Taft and the Republican ticket. Tho
campaign among union men from now
on will be a hot one. It will be a great
battle. The opposition has been claiming
great strength and through the papers
has tried to spread the idea that all la

Such is not the case."

JIU JITSU ROUTS BURGLAR
Little Japanese Disarms Hold-up
Man, Who Runs Away, Baffled.
A determined holdup man, with a
glittering nickel-plated revolver, fully
loaded, essayed to rob the Japanese
laundry office of M. Kobayashl, at 52
North First street, shortly after mid
night last night and was not only frus
trated and disarmed, but completely put
to rout by a little Japanese not half his
size, who surprised him with a dis
play of courage, agility and jlu Jltsu.
The robber left his gun behind and
the money of the establishment un
touched. The hero is a little Japanese
named G. Machida, about 35 years of
age and a friend of th eproprietor of
the laundry. The man entered' a side
door, however, and a struggle ensued.
Disregarding the leveled revolver,
Machida sprang at hi mand caught him
by the wrist. The robber trlrd his
best to wrench his weapon free from
the vise-like grip, but was unable to
do so. Then, with an unexpected twist
of his body, a hip movement and
lightning-like changes with his arms,
the robber was lifted into the air,
tossed on the floor and the revolver
wrung from his grasp.
Machida here accidently stumbled
and the robber made his escape.
SOCIALIST JJE IS NAILED
Story of Starving School Children
Grossly Exaggerated.
CHICAGO. Oct. 12. (Special.) The
Socialists received an awful wallop to
day when city officials and charitable
organizations began an investigation
of the charge that 15,000 school chil
dren are on the verge of starvation in
this city. This story has been seized
upon as a fine line of ammunition
wherewith to bombard the existing or
der of things. The investigation, how
ever, shows that in a great majority
of cases the children are hungry be
cause one or both of their parents are
drunkards. -
The fathers, in most cases, are loaf
ers who work only long enough to get
drinking money, leaving their families
to shift for themselves while they
make Socialist speeches in saloons.
Instead of 15,000 cases, the investiga
tors cannot find one-eighth of that
number. .
