DEAL IS EVIDENT
American and Continental Shipbuilder
Probably Frozen Out of the
Chilean Contracts.
London, Aug. 30. American and
continental shipbuilders who expected
to compete for the construction of the
new Chilean warships probably have
been frozen out. Chile has Invited
tenders to be submitted by September
15, for two battleships of 34,000 tons
each. Plans drawn by Sir Philip
Watts, chief constructor of the British
navy, specify that guns and machinery
must be of English design.
The opinion is expressed that for
eigners will not be likely to arrange
terms with English manufacturers
which would enable them to compete.
It Is believed , that the terms of the
recent Chilean loan floated by the
Rothschilds-stipulated an advsntage
to English builders.
SWEDISH MINISTER

Stockholm, Aug. 30. The official
statement that the retirement of Her
man D. Lagercrant. Swedish minister
at Washington, was due entirely to his
personal wishes does not convince, the
public. The common belief is that the
real reason for the diplomats' return
Is to be found In the speech which he
delivered In New York, and In the
course of which h Is reported to have
toasted the probable suocess of the
republican party In the coming cam
paign. ,

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 30. A clash
over the endorsement of the Taft ad

IS 10 RAISE
President Enthusiastic lll-Fated Ship
May Come Sailing Home
Before Christmas.
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 03. If plans
which President Taft regards favor
ably arc adopted the battleship Maine,
sunk in Havana harbor 12 years ago,
which since then has concealed the
secret of the disaster which over
whelmed her, may be sailing home
ward on or before Christmas bearing
long delayed verdict to the nation
John F. O'Rouke, president , of the
O'Rouke Engineering Construction
company of New York has submitted
the plans to President Taft. Both
were much Interested If not enthusi
astic when Mr. O'Rouke departed
from the summer capital with Instruc
tlons to meet the president In Wash
ngton during the "last week In Sep
tember when definite action will be
taken. The government Is asked to
furnish men, tugs, and other assist
ance to co-operate with the O'Rouke
forces In raising the Maine out of her
grave of mud and water. In this way
Mr. O'Rouke says the work can be
done within the appropriation of
1300,000 made by congresa A com
mission has been appointed to study
the plans and pronounce Judgment
when President Taft and Mr. O'Rouke
meet for the final conference in Wash
Ington.
The president favors the Immediate
selection of an engineer to undertake
the task without going through the
usual procedure of advertising for
bids. It Is not certain, however, that
bids can be dispensed with. The plan
provides for raising the Maine by
means of pneumatic caissons and steel
cables. The ship will be preserved In
tact, Mr. O Rouke says, with every
evidence of the disaster which she
may bear. It Is proposed to construct
on piles line of wharves about 20
feet from each side of the ship. Be
tween It and the wharves will be sun
Dneumatlc caissons . to a depth of
about ten feet below the keel of the
Maine. Cables will be passed down
one side of the caissons under the
Maine and up the other side to the
caissons there. . These cables will be
placed at Intervals of four feet and
form a cradle In which the Maine will
rest The combined strength of the
cables will be four times the weight
of the ship.
Jackscrews to which the end of the
cables will be fastened will be "'aced
on platforms erected over the caissons,
and when the Jacks are operated the
tightening cablts will raise the Maine
from her berth of mud and gradually
lift her clear from the water. The
caissons are planned to have a capac
ity of SO per cent more sustaining
pewsr than the weight of the Maine.
As the caissons will be called upon
to support the Maine, pneumatic de
vices will be Installed which will In
crease their efficiency so that they will
not sink In the mud. i ... j

Supreme Court Criticised. ' ' .
Denver, Col., Aug. 30. Acta of the
Supreme court of the United States
were sharply criticised by Theodore '
Pnnuuill vu.taNlaw. ne.awnnnn In n
address in the state capltol here be
fore the Colorado legislature. The
former" president cited two decisions
uy .tuts oupromv uuuri, w men, no uo-
c lured, were eontrary to the -principles
or democracy, and said emphatically t
that it those decisions Indicated the
permanent attitude of the court, the
entire American system of popular
government would be upset Colonel -
Roosevelt s speech before the legisla
ture was one of five that he delivered
in Denver yesterday. Everywhere he
went he was greeted by cheering mul
titudes. The auditorium In which he
delivered his speech on conservation
holds 15,000 people and yet it waa
large enough to seat only a part of the
throng that sought admission.
Speaking to the Colorado legislature
Mr. Roosevelt said:
I am anxious that the nation and
the state shall each exercise Its legiti
mate powers to the fullest degree.
When necessary they should work to
gether, but above all they should not
leave a neutral ground in which neith

place of refuge for men who wish to
act criminally, and especially for the
very rich men who wish to act against
the Interests of the community as a
whole.
Decision Against Popular Rights.
"Let us illustrate what I mean by
reference to two concrete cases.
The first Is the Knight Sugar Trust
case. In that the Supreme court of
the United States, under cover of what
man, whose Interest Is chiefly In
sane, constructive siewarosnip, can
only call a highly technical legal sub
tlety handed down decision which ren
dered It exceedingly difficult for the
nation effectively to control the use or
the masses of corporate capital In In'
terstate business as the nation obvi
ously was the sole power that could
exercise this control for It waa quite
beyond the power of any one stats.
This waa really a decision rendering
it exceedingly difficult for the people
to devise any method of controlling
and regulating the business use of
great capital In Interstate commerce.
It was a decision nominally against
national rights, but really against
popular rights.
The second case la tne so-cauea
New York bakeshop case. In New
Tork City, as In most large cities, the
baking business la likely to be carried
on under unhygienic conditions which
tell on the welfare of the worker and
therefore against the welfare of the
general public. The New York legis
lature passed, and the New York gov
ernor signed a bill remedying these
Improper conditions. New York state
was the only body that could deal
with them; the nation had no power
In the matter.
Acting on Information which to
them seemed ample and sufficient:
acting in the interest of the publlo and
In accordance with the demand or the
public, the only governmental author
ity having affirmative power In the
matter, the governor and the legisla
ture of New York took the action
which they deemed necessary after
what Inquiry and study was needud
to satisfy them as to the conditions
and as to the remedy. '
"The governor and the legislature
alone had the affirmative power to
remedy the abuse. But the Supreme
court of the United States possessed
and unfortunately exercised the nega
tive power of not permitting the abuse
to be remedied. By a five to four vote
they declared the action In the stnte.
of New York unconstitutional. Ths
men were of course powerless to
