the Colonel Tells What He
Thinks of Strike
Riots There.
UNIONISM IS ALL RIGHT;
HE BELONGS TO A UNION
But He Does not Believe in Unions
Coercing People to Join Them
Bad at "Secondary
' Boycott"
OLUMBUS, O. Coming today
U to, the scene of the street car
strike riots which have kupt
Columbus, in a. state of disorder for
weeks, former President Roosevelt In
a speech here denounced tn the
strongest terms, the acts of lawless
ness and the men who committed
them.
The state capital is still being
guarded by militia, and Col. Roose
ve himself was escorted by United
Slates troops from the Columbus bar
racks. " -, .
As the strike is still on. the chair
man of the Roosevelt reception com
mittee asked President Taft to assign
regular troops to guard the former
president today and the president
consented. .
He Call For Law And Order.
"The first requisite to the establish
ment of Justice," said Col. Roose
velt, "Is the establishment of law and
order; and woe to the man, public or
flclal or private citizen, wh fails to
realize this fact; and especially should
we abhor and reprobate the conduct
of a public servant who for any rea
son fails in his duly In this regard,
but we must equally condemn the
nubile servants and ourselves, the
people, also, who are as responsible
as public servants. If we stop con
tent with the mere establishment of
Jaw -and. order we. fall to do -our fur
' luce UutjV wnlch' 1 by thoroughgoing
Investigation to find out 'whether jus
tice has been defied and Injustice
committed and then to use the whole
power of government vto right any
wrong that has been done."'
Itnt Unionism to Ail Right.
Speaking of unionism Mr. Roose
velt said: "The union to just as much
necessary for our modern Industrial
system as the corporation itself. Both
must obey the law, but each Is a ne
cessity. Under modern conditions It
Is oft times absolutely necessary that
there should be collective bargaining
on the part of men and this can only
come through union.
And He Belong to One.
"I am an honorary member of a
union myself. If I were wage worker
engaged In manual labor I should
certainly join a union. Union men
have no right to force other wage
workers Into a union. As was so
well set forth in the admirable report
of the anthracite strlko commission,
such action la as gross a violation of
right as Is the so-called 'secondary
boycott.' " r
"But It Is equally an outrage for
the employer to discriminate against
the unions and to fall to work with
them In a spirit of cordial good faith
on both sides. Moreover, If your pres
ent arbitration law Is not sufficiently
stringent, make It more stringent and
If It Is unconstitutional amend the
constitution. But do not wi'H to rem
edy any of the present rongs until
the constitution' Is amended.
"The state and municipality have
thti power to force any public service
corporation to do what is right If they
choose to exercise that power, and It Is
the business of the people to see that
they so choose."
Crowds from all adjacent towns
came to Columbus today to
bear Colonel Roosevelt speak' at
Goodala park on the subject. "Twin
Duties of Good Cltlenshl," ri
mor that tie was to discuss the strike
of Union street ' carmen here, added

IS MADE PUBLIC
It la Frankly to the Effect That Secre
tary Ballinger Should Be Re
quired to Resign.
Minneapolis, Bept. 10. "That
Richard A. Balllnger has not been
true to the trust reposed In him as
secretary of the Interior; that he la
not deserving of public , confidence
and that he . should be reauired hv
the proper authority to resign his of.
Oce."
The foregoing sums up the find In us
of the four democratic members of
the Balllnger-Pinchot congressional
investigating commission.
The republican members issued no
report of any kind bearing upon the
controversy.
An Independent report was given
out by Mr. Madison, the Insurgent
republican ' from Kansas, which de
clares also that Mr. Balllnger "should
not be retained, that he was an un
faithful trustee of the people's In
terests, an enemy of conservation and
that the charges of Glfford Plnchot
should be sustained."
These findings will be printed and
nled with congress.
The democratic report Is signed by
Senators Duncan U. Fletcher, of Flor
Ida, and Wm E. Purcell, of North
Dakota, and Representative Ollle M.
James, of' Kentucky and James M.
Graham, of Illinois. It says:
Text of the Report.
"Summarized, the democratic find
ings declare that the evidence shows
"That there was no conspiracy
against Mr. Balllnger.
"That Glfford Plnchot and L. R.
Glavls were faithful trustees of the
people's interests.
Hln Dismissal.
- That Mr. Balllnger s conduct on
certain ' occasions was Intended to,
and did have the effect of deceiving
the president.
-"That, Mr. ,, Bellinger's action In
having 'clear ; listed' , the 3 Availed
Cunningham Alaaskan coal lands and
ordering them patented showed bad
faith.
"That he advocated a bill to vali
date Alaska coal claims alleged to be
fraudulent
"That his action In acting s at
torney in cases pending In the land
office while be was commissioner was
reprehensible.
"That he helped to force the Cun
ningham coal claims to a hearing be
fore the government was ready to
proceed.
'That he encouraged insubordi
nation In the service and condoned
improper official conduct in that con
nection." Numerous official acts of Mr. Bal
llnger are attacked. High praise Is
given Glfford Plnchot, former chief
forester, and L. R. Glavls, former
chief of field division of the general
land office.
Madison's Conclusions,
Mr. Madison's conclusions are:
'That the charges of Messrs. Glavls
and Plnchot should be sustained.
"That Mr. Balllnger has been un
faithful to the public Interests.
"That In the matter of the cuu-
nlngham coal lands he was not . a
faithful trustee of the people's Inter
ests. That with regard to the reclama
tlon service he has taken action tend
ing towards Its disintegration."
Recretary Balilnger's action In re
storing water power sites without in-
tuition to withdraw, is also criucisea
along with h!a conservation pouuy
among other things.

Bridgeport, Conn.
HAD ATTACKED NURSE,
WOUNDING HER SERIOUSLY
Mrs. Bloch Was Supposed to Be a
Most . Docile Patient, and Had
Professed Friendship for Wo
man She Slew.
Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 10. Of all
the patients in Dr,.D. W. McFarland's
sanitarium at Greens" Farms, Mrs.
Auam tiiocn, wne or a prosperous
butcher of this city, was supposed to
be the most docile until, in a burst of
homicidal frenzy, she murdered Mi.s
Lyria Feuchere, also a patient, by bit
ing and then strangling her.
Miss Feuchere had been a teacher in
the public schools of Manhattan and
had been placed In, the sanitarium by
her brother. She was 33 years old.
Before the murderous attack on
Miss Feuchere, -Mrs. Bloch attacked
Mrs. Minnie Verlan, a nurse. She In
jured Mrs. Verlan so severely that the
nurse Iny half dead on the floor when
attendants ran In, and found her.
While they were caring for her Mrs.
Bloch, who because of her previ
ous good, hehavior, had been permitted
the run of the floor, entered tho room
of Miss Feuchere, for" whom she had
always expressed the warmest friend
ship. The school teacher was reading
a magazine when Mrs. Bloch entered
the room. Leaping upon her the visi
tor visitor bore Miss Feuchere to the
floor and set her teeth In the woman's
face. She thon clasped her fingers
about Miss 1 FeucAeres - throat and
strangled' her 'to death. -.
The cries of the ' wounded woman
brought to the room the attendants
who had been trying to save the life
of the nurse. Mrs. Bloch was over-
powereci oy tne attendants and was
strapped hand and foot Moaning
that she had loved Miss Feuchere and
could not live without her, the unfor
tunate murderess was carried to the
Lakevlew Home, the Bridgeport asy
lum for the Insane, from which lnsth
tutlon she will be transferred to the
state asylum for the Insane at Mid
dletown. She had a lucid Interval In
which she said she could remember
nothing that had occurred In the
previous few hours and reiterated her
statement that she had cared more
for Miss Feuchere than for anybody
else In tho world.
The nurse was removed to the hos
pltal In the sanitarium, where her
wounds were attended to and where
It was said that although she would
recover she would bear with her for
the rest of her life the marks of the
teeth of the Insane woman.
Had Meditated tlie Deed.
After the turmoil In the sanitarium
which succeded Mrs. Bloch's double
attack attendants reported that from
their study of the Insane they believed
that Mrs. Bloch had meditated the
murder of the school teacher for some
time. Ever since Mrs. Bloch entered
the sanitarium, six months ago, she
hud seemed to be exceptionally fond
of Miss Feuchere. The latter's case
was hopeless. She .was sent to the
sanitarium two year ago, and until
Mrs. Bloch became a patient had had
no friends among the other patients.
When Mrs. Bloch became a patient
she showered attentions upon Miss
Feuchere, assisting her to dress and
undress and acting to her In the ca
pacity of a servant When the at
tendants had time to recall the Inci
dents of the friendship of Mrs. Bloch
and Miss Feuchere they decided that
all these attentions were a part of the
mad Woman's plan to finally kill the
object of her affections.
After she was taken to the Lake-
view home she threatened everybody
who came near her, exhibiting signs
of Insanity of a violent order which
she had not shown before her attack

The pontiff reiterates all of the rulei
previously set forth against modern

the rectors of Catholic colleges must
watch attentively the development of

they are well prepared to fight error,
forbidding them to read newspapers
and periodicals, and avoid distracting
them from their studies.
Every professor In beginning his
course, every acollte before being pro

and every ecclesiastical official before

Louis Schwartz, the husband, testi
fled that his wife left him seven years
ago, and that when she did not return
he had obtained the divorce. Later,
he said, they became reconciled. He
and another witness swore that she
had been served with a summons and
complaint in the suit.
In the referee's report little heed is
paid to Schwartz's testimony, but his
wife receives full credibility. The at

fact that after obtaining his decree
Schwartz lived with his wife and told
none of their friends about the di
