CLOSES DAY AT BALTIMORE
Republican Deeds Against
Democratic Threats.
TWO POLICIES ON TRUSTS
Taft Would Prevent Monopoly,
Bryan Jetroy Trusts and Com
petitors Also Will Kevise
Tariff Downward.
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 19. Hitting
straight at his opponent with even more
fierce thrusts than In the Northwest
or South. W. H. Taft today carried hi
can. pa ten to the very doon of New
York City and gave a clear Indication
of the chart cter of the speeches he will
make in the Empire State next week.
Mr. Taft spent three hours In New
ark, one hour In Wilmington and the
entire evening in Baltimore. He en
countered t remendous crowds and en
thusiasm spontaneous and ample. His
extended ffotts of the day were at
Newark. Elizabeth and Baltimore. At
Newark he gave attention to all the Is
sues save labor. In his Elizabeth
prerh he dwelt solely on the labor
qustion, and tonight he combined the
topics of the Newark and Elizabeth
spfeches.
The ist with which Delaware re
ceived the candidate resulted in curtail
ing the Wilmington speech to a few
lines.
Krai Isue of Campaign.
"1 can only say to you," he re
marked, "that from what X have seen in
New Jersey today and what I have
seen In Ielaware today, and what I saw
in the Souih and West the last three
weeks 1 am going to be elected, and
it would give me the greatest pride "If
... t el.-cw.ral vote I ceuld have the
three from Iilaware.
"The real ipsue of the campaign is."
9a Id Mr. Taft tonight, "whether you
think the Republican party, by what it
has done in the last 12 years. Is en
titled to your confidence. Even if it
has done something to displease you.
is It not much to be preferred to the
democratic party under any circum
stances, considering the history of that
party, and considering the peculiarities
to use no more offensive expression
of the leadership of that party?"
What IScpubllcans Have lone.
The acts of the Republican party
were then recounted. Establishing the
gold standard, repealing the Wilson
Gorman tariff Mil and enacting the
1'lngley tariff; fighting the Spanish
War.
He continued:
We put the Cubans on their feet, as wf
supposed. They stayed I here tor three
is, then they foil on their knees; w
had again to so and help them to their
fet.
In Porto Rico we hnv made 1.000.000
people rrjoii every night and every day
and thank Liod that they are under the
pi asperity that the tUars ana e tripes have
Then we took up the Philippine the
hardest problem that we had to solve, as
the result of the war. Today 600.00 0
iltplno children are reading, writing- and
ret'it'ina- In English; e have given them
practical control over the central govern
ment and full control ovtr the provincial
aid municipal government.
We took up the I'auama ('anal, which
for 400 years since the time of Charls V
had been the SLihjct of discussion. L'nder
trie present administration there has been
an organisation of the brains, machinery
and the hands In such a way that In the
t iure of iIva or six years any one w ho
kr;o tout the work can promt tts com
pletun. so that your Navy m ill sail from
toe v'arribean to the Pacific.
Mr. Taft next took up what he termed
the "moral awakening' respecting the
conduct of large business enterprises,
resulting in a quickening of the
American conscience. He added:
Tou would think from statements of Mr.
llryan that no progress had been made,
but the progr is reaiy remarkable.
Through the page of the rate bill the
tailroads themselves have abandoned re
bating. ha e atiitiidoned unlawful discrim
ination and haxe taken aay the chief
instrumentality by wnu-h unlawful trusts
r.d monopolies have been maintained.
Mr. Taft followed this with his In
dorsement of the combination of capital
fur legitimate purposes. He said:
Rryan Policy of leslruvl!on.
The combination of capital Is Just as
!t!ntial to our progress as the combina
tion of the rvirts of a machine and the fact
t'lat the capital is great ami the number
of plant n-eded many Is no reason for
d'noiim ir.g thrrn nr. illegal unless they are
vjed for an lllcgrvZ purpose. The normal.
Iev;al purpose r 'such combination Is to
reduce the o of production by Inducing
economic n nag-ment of the capital. It
is only hfn undue means a re taken to
stifle c-mpetlttoa that they cross the line
of leiriiity and that they ought to be re
st -au.ed and punished. Therefore. Mr.
)'Ms"flt and the Kepublican administra
tion have directed their attention to prose- ,
ruling the exact evil, which Is the attempt
to monopolism. Mr. Bryan, on the other
hand, proposes to take steps which shall
destroy the entire business. He proposes
thst we shall abolish the tariff on what
are called trust-made artirles. If you are !
going to tak off the tariff on trust-made
articles you are g"lng to destroy the trust !
all right there will be no d if Acuity about ;
that and you are going to thrrw out of
employment the millions of men engaged i
as wage-earners In those great businesses,
snd yvu also are going to dstroy the in
dependent competitors of the trust, for they
are Just as dependent on the tariff. Injeed
mora so, than the trusts themselves.
Mr. A'aft's expressions on the tariff
were:
The Republican party is In favor of. and

Organized Plan to Prove True
Friendship.
SPERRY TO VISIT MIKADO
Will Carry Cordial Message from
Roosevelt Sailors Swarm Cities
and Villages and Everywhere
Have Enthusiastic Greeting.
TOKIO, Oct. 19. The reception ac
corded the American Atlantic fleet by
the government and people of Japan is
conceded by the American naval offi
cers to be the heartiest and most per
fectly carried out of the many recep
tions enjoyed by the fleet since It sailed
from Hampton Roads. Rear-Admiral
Sperry said to the Associated Press to
day that he was utterly unable to say
how it had been accomplished, but that
the welcome given the fleet and its of
ficers and men here had been so care
fully planned and carried out to the
most minute detail that a lasting Im
pression had been stamped upon the
mind of every American who wit
nessed it.
Xo Doubt of Japan's Sincerity.
The men of the American and Japa
nese fleets are fraternizing everywhere
throughout Tokio and Yokohama. Every
wish of thejAmerican sailors is antici
pated and each bluejacket finds an
Engllsh-spe'aklng guide among the
Japanest sailors. The American uni
form is the "open sesame" everywhere,
tho cordiality of the Japanese extend
ing even to the inhabitants of the most
remote villages. It is Impossible to
doubt the sincerity of the Japanese.
The American officers and sailors are
already beginning to understand the
fact that the evident desire on the part
of the Japanese for the friendship of
America is not founded upon oppor
tunism, but finds its source in a sincere
desire to show that such friendship, at
least on the part of the Japanese, ha
existed always, and that this visit of
the fleet merely affords the Japanese
an opportunity for the expression of
that feeling.
Plan to Remove Misunderstanding.
There can be no doubt that the slmul
aneous visits of the American exposi
tion commissioners, the Pacific Coast
business men and the Atlantic fleet a
a part of an organized plan of the
Japanese to finally wipe out all mis-

Recommends bridge across the Wil

bridge, with lift drar; cost
$1,500,000.
Report! that high bridge, such as
at first suggested by the North East
Side Improvement .Association, would
have to be built at about Hancock
street, and would cost $3,000,000.
Reports that a tube under the
river would have to be constructed
not farther south than Hancock
street, and would cost approximately
S6.000.000. The p'opular Impression
that it could b put in at Morrison or
Madison streets is dispelled.
A bridge to cost approximately
11,500,000 to be built across the Wll
lamette River just north of the Steel
bridge, is the recommendation of Ralph
Modjeskl, the New York civil engineer,
who was employed by the City Council
to report on the most feasible means
of solving the vexatious problem of
handling traffic across the stream. He
estimates the cost of a high bridge
that would clear all vessels without
a draw at $3,000,000, and a tube, which he
also says would have to go as far north
as Hancock Btreet, would cost $5,000,000.
The' report In full detail will be the
subject of a special joint session of the
Council and the City Executive Board
at 8:30 o'clock this morning;
Much Interest in Project.
Owing to the fact that this is one
of the most important matters now be

SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 19. (Special.)
Dr. Frank S. Bournes, chief of the staff
handling the bubonic plague prophylactic
work in Seattle, and Assistant Commis
sioner of Public Health, has issued a
statement addressed to the householders
of the city, requesting them to assist in
the work of rat extermination by pro
curing for the house an able-bodied cat.
"The cat as an agent for the extermina
tion of the rat," says Dr. Bourns, "can
not be equalled. I would rather have 1CJ0
cats -with an appetite for rat than any
thing else in this campaign, and as rats
find refuge in the basement of private
homes, the cat can be used to advantage.
Any person desiring a cat for rat-catching
purposes can be accommodated by
advising the Health Department."

BATTLE IN MONTANA WILDS
Flathead Hunters Shoot When
Under Arrest.
FATALLY WOUND PEYTON
Prone and Bleeding, He Rests on
Arm and Sends Death Messen
gers After Murderers Com
rade Shot in Arm.
MISSOULA. Mont., Oct. 19. Lying
prone on his side, riddled with bullets,
C. B. Peyton, a Deputy Game Warden,
fought a single-handed battle with four
Flathead Indians whom he had started to
place underarrest Sunday afternoon, and
while the blood streamed from the gap
ing wounds In his breast, the oflleer
coolly leveled his rifle and fired until nil
of his assailants were dead.
The fight in which all of the partici
pants were killed took place at Holland'
Prairie, on Swan River, near Ovando,
Powell County. The Indians were hunt
ing without license and had taken more
deer than the law allows. Peyton and
Herman Rudolph, another Deputy Wat
den, learned of their offense and left
Missoula for the Indian camp.
Knowing the troublesome nature of the
Flatheads, Peyton asked Rudolph to ac
company him. Both went to Swan Lake
and Sunday located the camp about three
miles from Ovando.
Peyton Shot Down.
Peyton went to the camp, however,
alone. Rudolph remained some littie dis
tance away. Peyton found four bucks at
the tepee and a number of squaws. He
told the Indians they were under arreat
and would have to acompany him to Mis
soula. .,
Peyton's words were scarcely out of his
mouth when the Indians grabbed thoir
rifles. The Game Warden fell at the first
shot. Four bullets struck him In the
breast and the blood soaked the ground
where he lay.
Believing their victim dead, the In
dians started on a run for the neighbor
ing woods. Peyton, however, was only
stunned for the moment. His rifle was
brought Instantly into, play as soon as h
recovered himself.
Dragging himself together, the fatally
wounded officer drew his rifle to his
shoulder, and while every move was the
keenest torture and sent the blood gush-
