Speech to Yale Graduates
Draws Applause.
ALL KINDS OF DEMOCRATS
After refining Them as Straight,
Rectified and Imitation, He Gives
Republicans Warning of
Judgment to Come.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. June 30. Pre I -dent
Taft paused In the course of an
after-dinner ' speech to 1S0O graduates of
Tale gathered at the annual alumni din
ner today, to Issue a serious note of
warning to Congress and to the leaders
of the Republican party. The President
declared that. If the party failed to live
up to Its promises and to the expectations
of the people. It would be relegated to
the position of a minority opposition. The
President spoke extemporaneously and his
utterances as to the Republican ( duty
seemed the result of a sudden impulse
rather than of studied preparation. Mr.
Taft made no effort to explain his
warning.
Warning to Congress Cheered.
The Yale men caught his meaning and
the significance of the remarks coming
while the tariff debate Is In progress,
and they stood and cheered for several
minutes.
Mr. Taft had been speaking of Secre
tary of War Dickinson, a Democrat, upon
whom Yale had conferred the honorary
degree of doctor of laws. With the best
good humor he taunted the Democracy
as to its present condition and this led
hlrn Into the declaration as to his own
party.
"You went south of the Mason and
Dixon line," he said, "to get the Secre
tary of War to give, a degree to. It is
well thaf you did. because he is going
to build the Panama canal, and other uni
versities will follow where you got in
early.
Three Kinds of Democrats.
"One of the difficulties that have con
fronted Brother Dickinson out in Chicago,
where he has a temporary residence, was
a discussion as to what constituted an or
thodox Democrat and whether he really
ought to be counted as a Democrat If he
allowed himself to go into a Republican
Cabinet. Well, when you come to disouss
what is a Democrat these days, you are
presented with very much the same diffi
culty that I have before me now in giv
ing certain rules for the construction of
the pure-food law as to what whisky is
They say there Is 'straight- whisky and
then there is 'rectified' whisky and then
thers ts Imitation' whisky. Now, I speak
with a good deal of hesitancy In saying
ucuin iiaj inena uicunson ts a
straight' Democrat or a 'rectified' Dem
ocrat. I would not dare to say In his
presence that he was an Imitation' Dem
ocrat. Mast Live Up to Promises.
"In suggesting differences among Demo
crats I am far from Ignoring difficulties
on our side. I remember In 1904 that
Charles Francis Adams gave what I may
call a perfectly good Adams reason for
the election of the Democratic candidate
over the Republican candidate. He said
that one of the essentials of a successful
free, government was an able, patriotic
and efficient opposition, and that, as the
Democratic party had utterly failed in
reaching that ideal, he was in favor of
putting the Republican party in that
place.
"Now I venture to say that, while that
may not be the reason that shall move
the American people. It Is true that. If the
Republican party does not live up to its
promises and what the people exect of it.
it will be relegated to a position like that
of His Majesty's opposition. And there
fore I may say by way of caveat that we
have troubles of our own."
Busy Day at Yale.
The President attended a meeting of
the Tale corporation, spoke at the mid
day dinner of the alumni, presided over
a meeting held for arranging a memorial
for Yale men who died on both sides in
the Civil War, stood for nearly two
hours with President Hadley at the com
mencement reception and rushed tonight
from a meeting of "skull and bones" to
board his private car for Washington.
President Hadley announced the re
ceipt during the year of gifts amounting
to $1,000,000.
The procession of officers, graduates,
candidates for degrees and invited guests
was formed under the elms on the col
lege campus. The mace was carried by
Professor Gustavo Schwab, the marshal
of the day. In the long line there were
299 candidates for regular degrees.-

and neglect of official duties.
The Senate Is now organized as an im

Schively to Appear Today.
Summons has been issued for the ac
cused Insurance Commissioner to appear
before the bar of the Senate at 1:30 tomor
row morning, when the time for plea and
date of trial will be decided upon. Action
was taken in both bouses without attempts
at filibustering. A short discussion oc
curred in the House over an amendment
to the phraseology of one count, but was
voted down as immaterial.

fact that charges made in the report of
the Investigating committee that Schively
had been Illegally collecting a $2 fee from
each company for verifying Its certificate
of publication of its annual report were
not embraced In the articles of impeach
ment. Sparks, chairman of the commit
tee that drafted the articles, explained
that, while the committee was morally
certain Schively had been collecting this
unlawful fee, conclusive proof could not
be secured.
After the adoption of the report of the
committee, a resolution providing for a
committee of nine managers of the im
peachment trial, of whom the Speaker
should be one, was adopted in the House.

That Expenditure Needed to Save
British Empire, Says Beresford.
LONDON', June 30. Lord Charles Ber

Chamber of Commerce this afternoon
in his favorite role of a candid critic

The Admiral again declared that the
situation in the navy was more serious
than was generally known and he said
that, in order to put the empire In a
state of safety by March, 1914, Great
Britain would have to build 10 battle
ships, 18 second-class cruisers, 12 cruis
ers for "the protection of commerce,
24 vessels of a new type larger than
torpedo-boat destroyers, and four float
ing docks, and add 16,000 men to the
personnel.
This programme would necessitate an
expenditure of about $300,000,000.

The month that ended yesterday will
be remembered in Portland, not alone
because of the great activity matrimonial
ly, a new high record being established in
the number of marriage licenses Issued.
Statistics for June show substantial gains
in every department of business activity
over the corresponding month last year.
These figures all testify to a satisfactory
condition locally with every promise that
the present activities will continue without
Interruption throughout the Summer, l..o
season that a slump ordinarily is ex
pected. Gain In Realty Deals.
An Increase of nearly 30 per cent is
shown in the bank clearings which, for
the month Just ended, aggregated $30,
043.843.26 as against 123,778.623.56 for the
same month in 1908. This is regarded a
remarkable gain and bears unmistakable
evidence of the generally prosperous con
ditions here.
The movement of real estate and the
building activity continue brisk, the total
considerations as recorded exceeding, the
figures for the same month last year. An
increase of over $500,000 in real estate
transfers for the month is shown from the
deeds recorded. Transfers for the month
aggregated 11,734,696 as compared with

feet.
Postmaster Toung yesterday was un
able to announce the total stamp sales
for the month, but the daily Increase in
the receipts during June, as compared
with those of the same month last
year, has been such that the record for
the month will show the average in
crease of from 6 to 13 per cent, which
has been reported each month during
the last year.
Railroad Traffic Increases.
Local railroad officials report thai
both transcontinental and local freight
and passenger traffic are heavy. ThH
is particularly true of the passengei
business, more Kastern people coming
into the state tnan ever before in It
history. Locally, passenger traffic U
being stimulated by reason of the an
nual exodus of people to the variout
Summer resorts. This travel has al
ready begun, but will not be on in
earnest before next week. There 1
every indication that this travel thit
season will exceed that of former years
Local freight business, while holding
Its owi. with the record for the samft
time last year, is not exceedingly brisk.
This is due to the fact that there is
not much freight to be moved. Last
year's grain crop has been transported
out of the country and the only busi
ness offered is that incident to the re
quirements of the business world. This
Includes the handling of general mer
chandise, shipments of livestock and
lumber.
While the lumber market Is improv
ing, it has not entirelyrecovered from
the Jolt it received last year from ar
bitrary increases In freight rates.
