IA re president Seonts Charge
That Hughes Is Narrow.
NEW TOR K. Oct. II. President

t.r fluted October IT. praising William
H. Taft and Governor Hughes and
predicting the success of Mr. Taft and
the Governor's re-eleetion. The letter,
which was made public here. U as fol
lows: "I thank you for your remembrance
of my birthday. Will you Jet me take
this opportunity to thank you In re
turn for the admirable work you are
doing- for clean and honest government
by your support erf Taft and Hughes?
"f have profound faith In the good
p.nse and conscientious devotion to
duty and to high Ideals of my fellow
Americans of German birth or German
parentage. I am certain that they will
go right. If only the facts can be
clearly presented to them. and. thanks
largely to your efforts, the facta are
thus being clearly presented.
Stand for Good Government.
"Mr. Taft stands In the Nation and
Mr. Hughes stands In the state for that
high order of governmental efficiency
and that high standard of governmen te.l
honesty, the anion of which Is abso
lutely esential in order to secure good
government.
"Each adheres and has always ad
hered. In public and private life, to the
most Inflexible standard -of honesty

American citizenship. Not one word of
any fclnd can be truthfully said against
the prlvste or public character of either.
Men of Broad Sympathies.
"Each has the broadest sympathies
for his fellow-citizens, for I hardly
need say that the accusation that Gov

man Is preposterously false. I believe
that the victory of one in the National

assured by overwhelming majorities,
and I thank you for the way In which

TAFT .NOT ENEMY OF LABOR
Donnelly Tells President Only Pro
fessional Labor Men Back Bryan.
WASHINGTON. Oct 2S. President
Roosevelt today made public a long let
ter from Samuel B. Donnelly, secretary
of General Arbitration Board of the New
York Trades, in which Mr. Donnelly up
holds the position of the President's rep
resentations of the record of Judge Taft.
as set forth by him In a letter to P. H.
Grace, of Btnshamton. N. T., recently.
Mr. Donnelly declares that the Presi
dent's letter ably shows that Mr. Taft
Is not an enemy of labor. From per
sonal knowledge of Mr. Taffs record as
Governor of the Philippines and In Pan
ama, where heh ad extensive relations
with labor, Mr. Donnelly unqualifiedly
supports the President's estimate of Mr.
Taft'a character. Mr. Donnelly cites an
Interpretation of the Federal eight-hour
law reported in 1907 and Mr. Taft'a
logevlty pay Increases order of that year
as Instances of the Judge's fairness to
ward labor. Continuing. Mr. Donnelly
says:
"The professional Democratic labor
workers who have been In the job in all
recent campaigns are leading the move
ment In the East. No spontaneous
movement against Judge Tart has ap
peared among the workers, and none but
salaried officers are on the stump against
htm. Those of us who remember the la
bor conditions during the last Demo
crats administration are of the opinion
that t Mr. Bryan is elected or the tariff
revised on the Democratic proposed plan
of a tariff for revenue only,' we will
all have plenty of time for Jury duty."

gomery, cashier of the Allegheny Na
tional Bank until the discovery of a
shortage of Its funds of more than
1 1.250.000 early last Summer, necessi
tating the closing of the Institution,

and abstraction of funds, his pecula
tions In the two cases amounting to
I31J.000. As In the first case. Mont

Hastr Unions Soon. Marred by
Dreaded "Affinity" on Horizon,
of IiOTe's Young Dream.
CHICAGO, Oct. IS. (Special.) "Mar
rlase is the suicide of love." said Pro
fessor Edward P. Monroe. Ph. D., of
Leland Stanford Junior L'nlverstty, be
fore the Woman's Literary Club, of
Woodlawn, this city.
"The increasing number of divorces
eierh year in America seems to substan
tiate this conclusion." said the profes
sor, further. A restrained murmur of
amazement was heard among the several
hundred clubwomen present.
"In the first place, marriage Is entered
upon by thousands of foolish and frivo
lous girls and thoughtless young men.
without the least consideration of the
question of mutual adaptability or of
congeniality. Wedlock is rushed Into,
and a few months after the honeymoon
the parties concerned come back to their
rational senses and realize that there
are grave temperamental differences to
reckon with.
"Before long there appears on the hori
zon of love's young dream the dreaded
affinity," and most of you realize what
that implies. It signifies that the bonds
of matrimony will, ere long, be ruthlessly
shattered and wind up in the divorce
courts."

DENIED LOAN TO HEINZE
Then Morse, With Balance of Only
$3100, Drew Personal Check
to Copper King's Order
for $126,000.
NEW TORK. Oct 2. The apparent
determination of Alfred H. Curtis to
exonerate himself of all blame re
specting the banking transactions for
which he and C. W. Morse are now un
dergoing trial In the United States
District Court here, became more de
fined today when, under the prompt
ing of his attorney. Mr. Curtis pro
duced a letter written by him under
date of June 13, 1907. and addressed to
Morse, in which he protested vigor
ously against the continuance of prac
tices instituted by the latter, which in
Curtis opinion constituted a grave
menace to the stability of the bank of
North America.-
Morse Draws Thousands.
The Incident of the overdraft of
1210.000 by Morse was made the sub
ject of searching questions by the
witness' own attorney. Mr. Curtis re
lated the coming of F. Augustus
Heinze to him with a request, for . a
loan of $126,000 and his refusal to
grant the accommodation.- Morse re
monstrated with him, saying. "Unless
we let them have the money they must
go to the wall."
Curtis tood firm, however, and re
torted, "They cannot have a cent of
the bank's money. If they must fail,
they must fail."
But to his amazement, he testified,
a personal check of Charles W. Morse
for $126,000 drawn to .the order of
Heinze, came through the next day.
The check had been honored, although
at the time, the witness said, Morse
had a balance to his credit of only
$3100. x

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
Tork, Oct 2S. W. H. Taft and Charles
E. Hughes were the attractions at
great Republican mass meeting at Madi
son Square Garden tonight. The meet
ing was remarkable in several respects.
At every mention of Mr. Hughes' name
the hall resounded with cheering and.
when he entered the hall, the crowd,
which filled every available space In the
audltorum, cheered him for 16 minutes
without stopping. Mr. Hughes made a
characteristic address, which was re
ceived enthusiastically.
But it remained for Mr. Taft to Inspire
the greatest demonstration. For 19 min
utes Madison Square Garden trembled
with the stamping of feet and the roar
of voices. Mr. Taft tried to quell the
racket, hut was powerless to do so.
When the noise ceased Mr. Taft began
his address. His voice was hoarse, but
the crowd was satisfied merely to look
at him, and his every word was cheered.
There were a number of other speakers
before Mr. Taft and Mr. Hughes, but
the throng was impatient to hear the
Presidential and state nominees.
Parade Ends Remarkable Day.
Their appearance at Madison Square
Garden came at the end of a day that
was most remarkable. During the day

Removal Visitors Shut Out
to Prevent Disturbance.
LONDON, Oct. 28. Suffragette disturb
ances have driven the police to the un
usual course of temporarily closing the
strangers' and ladies' galleries in the
House of Commons. This was announced
by the Speaker in response to a question
from Premier Asquith and Mr. Balfour,
the leader of the opposition, as Parliament
was adjourned tonight.
During the evening, while the House was
discussing the licensing bill, a sensation
was caused by the display of a placard
and sudden shrill cries from the ladles'
gallery, demanding votes for women,
while simultaneously a bundle of handbills
fluttered down from the strangers' gallery
to the opposite end of the chamber and a
man shouted:
"Justice to women."
Women Chain Themselves.
Attendants hurried to the galleries and
the male offender was unceremoniously
ejected, but from the ladles' galleries
sounds were heard of a desperate strug
gle. Two suffragettes had chained them
selves firmly to the grilling and resisted
for a time all efforts at removal. The
scene was watched' with amazement from
the floor of the house, but finally the
suffragettes were dragged from their
posts, portions of the grill being removed
with them.
Ten minutes liter there was another
dramatic scene, a man In the strangers
gallery throwing another bundle of bills
doVti upon the House and shouting:
Disturber Fights Fiercely.
"Why don't you give women votes and
relieve the unemployed?"
Attendants rushed upon him, but he
resisted fiercely an attempt to carry him
bodily from the gallery. After a strug
gle the attendants succeeded In ejecting
the man.
About the same time, a large crowd of
suffragettes made a demonstration out
side the Parliament building and 15 were
arrested.
