Garfield In recognition of thel- vork
in assisting former President Roose

public domain. Justice E. A. Jug
gard, President Hugh T. Ilalbert of
the Roosevelt club, uwukened the en
thusiasm of the banquctters by a
reference to an unnamed new party,
some of the leaders of which, he said.

"The Roosevelt club has consistent

and the conservation of men, and

"Tills country lias lived on its capi
tal, but ut last has awakened to the
fact that It will soon exhaust Its nut
urnl resources by the inexcusable dis
tribution of Its wealth in direct viola
tion of the law of equal opportunity
of Its citizens.
"This condition has brought about
the formation of a iw party without
name, but not without un issue nor
without leaders.
"That party has two wings com
posed of those called conservatives
and those called progressives, but the
real division Is composed of those
who favor the right of the people
aa against those who favor a monop
oly of the benefits of the public do
main.
That party may be unnamed, but
Its leaders are Theodore Roosevelt
and our honored guests, G!fford Pin

Governor Eberhart spoke on "The

Mr. Plnchot said Jn part:
"All monopoly resta on the unreg

and natural advantages, and such
control by the special Interests Is Im
possible without the help of politics.

It does not apply, of course, to the
man who really represent their con
stituents and who arc making so line
a tight for tne conservation or scu-
government
'The tariff, under the policy of pro
tection, was originally a means to
raise the rates of wages. It has been
made a tool to increaae the cost of
living. The wool schedule, professing
to protect the wool-grower. Is found
to result In sacrificing grower und
consumer ullke to one of the most
rapacious of trusts.
The cotton cloth schedule was In
creased In the face of the uncontra
dicted public testimony of the manu
facturers themselves that It ought to
remain unchanged.
"The steel trust demanded and by
trick secured an Indefensible Increase
In the turlff on structural steel.
"The sugar trust stole from the

congress, by means of a dishonest
schedule, continues to protect It In
bleeding the public.
"At the very time the duties on

TRAGEDY OF LAKE CIO
J
The Opinion Is Gathering Strength
That Charlton, at Well as His
Wife, Was Murdered.
Como. Italy, June IS. A part 'if a
man's coat, declared by some of his
fisherman neighbors to have belonged
to Porter Churlton, was found today
In Uike Como., The torn garment wus
fished up from the bottom of the
luke neur the spBt where the trunk
containing the body of his murdered
bride, Mary Scott Castle Charlton, was
recovered lasl Friday. Today's dis
covery strengthens the theory that
double murder was committecd. pre
sumably for their valuables. A search
of the lake is being continued.
v Tho opinion Is guthering strength
that a double murder has been con
summated. This Is the view held by
the American consul at Milan, Charles
M. Caughey, who is Investigating the
case. It Is pointed out that the amount
of blood on the mattress, sheets and
curtuins of the bedroom in the villa
which was occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Charlton could not possibly come from
the wounds of the woman, which were
tu the nature of severe bruises on Hie
head. v
Several persons, however, say that
they saw Charlton after the date of
the crime at Moltruslo and later ut
Como. These statements are contro
verted by the Investigations of the po
lice, who have found that the alleged
witnesses have been unable to tlx
dutes definitely. ,
TO INCREASE FARE RATE
TO PULLMAN TRAVELERS
JiMtcxt Move on the I'sit "f Huil-
riMids to et More Itctcnuc from

Ciliclunuti. .. June 13. The latest
move to secure more revenue for the
railroads is a plan tu charge an
cews tarn for passengers on Pullmans
and parlor cars. With u view to dis
cussing this proposition ji conference
between committees representing all
the pussenger associations of the
United States has been called rr Jam
il In New York. -. '
The move will undoubtedly meet
with the opposition of tho Pullman
company, for it will In effect be an
Increase In Pullman rates, as It will
cost travelers more to ride In Pull
man cars, In uddltMin to their seats
or berth fares, than It- dors to ride
in coaches.
The argument made by tha passon.

the railroads do not get for hauling

Mr. Vcrtrei-s Insists that neither the
official nor the professional, acta of
his client are open to criticism and
declares thut none of the accusations
made against him have been sustain
ed by presentation of fact He aays
the accusations are the result of a
conspiracy against him and quotes
freely from the evidence before the
committee in an attempt to prove the
existence of a plot Involving former
Secretary Garlleld and former Forest
er Plnchot. to secure his removal from
office.
"First of all, It is to be borne In'
mind that Mr. Ralllnger neither di
rectly nor Indirectly ut any time was
interested In any real lands In Alas
ka," says Mr. Vertrees. "He was not
counsel for the Cunningham claim
ants and others as Mr. Glavis said.
At the time he lscume secretary he
whs counsel for not one of them. The
only connection he had ever had with
the Cunningham claimants was the
preparation of the nrfnjavlt In Sep

Vertrees says the action- waa upon

whom he relied to -be advised. "If
nun order waa erroneous, continues
Mr. Vertrees, "clearly the secretary
would lie exrused, but It was not er

the record stood." He says that Mr.
Hulllngcr Immediately revoked the
order when Glavis suggested that the
claims should not have leen clear
listed and that the claims had re
mained In "chancery" to this day.
Mr. Vertrees points out that
throughout the entire time Glavis
had been kept In charge and was the
one man relied upcM to Investigate all
Alaskan claims. He says Ralllnger
defended Glavis, asserting thst -tha
criticisms which ex-Governor Moore
hud passed upon him because of ths
delay In patenting the Cu'.ii.'ngham
