Morgantown, W. Va., Nov. 1.
Member of President Tuft's party are
today rejoicing over a tilt that took
place between the president and Pitts
burgers at the banquet in the smoky
city which was given In honor of the
chief executive during hid visit there.
When the after dinner speaking
.stage had arrived, the members of
the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce,
carried out a formulated plan of
"baiting" the president, on the trust
question.
Scores of millionaires and officials
of tlio Steel tru-t attended the feast
and Congressman Martin Littleton
was designated to cast the "bait" for
tile president.
In a warm speech, Congressman
Littleton bitterly denounced the
Sherman Anti-trust law and demand
ed that it bo repealed Immediately,
declaring that some business enter
prises were victims of the law, while
others of the same character had es
caped Us colls.
The banqueters cheered the con
gressman loudly, ami President Taft,
mad clear through to the core, un
masked himself of his famous smile,
arose to his feet, and after attacking
Littleton's argument with much and
vociferous pounding on tho table,
which caused the dishes to rattle, he
Khook his fist (the size of a ham) at
Littleton and denied that the law was
Indefinite and challenged any one to
name a corporation that was Innocent
which had suffered or had been con
victed under the Sherman law.
Mr. Taft stated that he knew that
"he was talking to men who favored
the trusts, but still ho believed the
law was Just and predicted that other
trusts would meet their downfall,
through It, or that socialism would
step Into the government.

PRANKERS 10 FACE
Mir
Tamper With Railroad Eq
uipment Place Mandcar oil Track and Wreck
Averted by Timely Arrival of u
Policeman.
What might have proved a Hal
lowe'en prank with serious conse
quences was prevented last night by
the vigilance of Officer Ira Hughes,
who patrolled the east end of the city.
Shortly after 8 o'clock he discovered
a handcar placed on the O.-W. R. & j
N. track by a gang of boys, which, if
it had not been removed, would un- I
double 1 1 v have cau-ed a wreck. Of
ficer Hughes did not content himself
with ui'do.ng the boys' work but he
made a search and captured the
gang responsible, took their names
ami ordered them' to report before
John Hailey, Juvenile officer, Satur
day. The gang was then dispersed
and after nine o'clock all was quiet
and peaceful in the east end of the
c'ty. This crowd did more feiious
damage than any other last night,
nearly all of the complaints coming
from the zone of their operations.
With the passing of Hallowe'en res
Idents of the city are safe for an
other year from the depredations of
mlschievious young America, but
there arc some this morning who
think that once a year is entirely too
ofien for such pranks as nre piayed
on the last day of October. While
no serious damage has been report
ed to the police, a great many prop
erty owners are complaining of mi
nor losses. Many gates are, missing
from their hinges, fences are torn
down, a number of wagons have been
found far from their sheds, and one
man at least, William Pedro, awoke
this morning to find that his cord of
wood, Just sawed, had been d strib
uted In armfulls to his different
neighbors.
Other observances of the night
were less destructive, a number of
parties parading the streits in spooky
attire nnd creeping from house to
house with jack-o'lanterns and tick
tacks. TRAIN ROBBERS OVER

In which the Italians were decisively
