SAYS STEEL TRUST
L
And Roosevelt Calls c;n Demo
cratic Nominee to Prove
or Retract. '
Denver,- Oct. 8, "la there . a new
deal," asked Governor Woodrow Wil
son In. speeches throughout Colorado
yesterday, when he charged that the
United. States Steel corporation and
other combinations of capital were
socking to control the government by
an industrial commission.
"The old method was campaign
contributions; the new method Is le
galized monopoly," said the governor
as he directed his attack on the in
terests, which he said was backing the
progressive party. The governor drew
attention to the senate investigation
by the. Clapp committee and said the
debate there was centered on which
of the "certain privileged groups" had
been- more intimate with the candi
dates of the republican- and progressive-
parties. . . ,
The governor said: ' ; .
. "All the while I was trying to for
mulate just what it was they were
aermting with one another, and -is
nearly as. I could make out it was like
this: who" of the two had been the
more Implicated in the things which
had discredited the republican party
and then I asked myself what, it was
that had discredited or at any rate
threatened to discredit the great party
which has so long governed this coun
try and it was perfectly obvious the
gentlomcn: were debating which of
them had been the more subject to
those Influences which we are now
aware have caused most of the com
plications which we wish to correct
in our economic development.
"The men who have promoted the
great combinations of capital and the
wide-spread understandings amongst
those who are conducting the Indus
tries of this country which have dom
lnated not only our business but our
politics are the, men whose connac-
tlon with, the two candidates worei
being most debated. They are .being:
debated in. the investigation which is
going on under the chairmanship ol
Senator, Clapp, so that underneath
lies this feeling, that certain privileged
groups have dominated the govern
ment of America. Otherwise whv
should they be arguing which had the
most intimate connection with the
system? ' i ' .
"For these gentlemen are not dis
connected'with one another. They arc
connected with various branches of
the privileged classes In this country
and they are so Interlaced In the direc
torates of banks and railroads and
mining companies and manufacturing
enterprises and commercial - houses,
that they constitute a single control
Ing body. There are some men among
them who uro members of at leust
60 boards of directors of the most Im
portant undertakings In the country
and the gentlemen, about 30 I believe,
who constitute the directors of the
United States Steel corporation, are
so connected by being presidents or
vice presidents of the railroads of this
country that they control SB per cent
of the railroads. .
"These are the gentlemen who are
backing the candidate of the third
party. Mark1 you I am not impeaching
their motives. I do not consider It
my privilege to look Into men's hearts
and ask why they are doing these
things. These gentlemen may Intend
to do the United State no dls-servlre
but my point la that they are not In
tending to change in the least essen-
U"' particularly the system of control
which has already been established
but are seeking to establish it by a
new method. Trie old method was
campaign contributions, the new
method Is legalizing monopoly and the
utipnrintendcnce by the government of
' l y-y Processes by which they have
established their predominance over
us.
"I was saying to some of my news
paper companions a little while ago
that If I were a cartoonist I would
draw a picture of the biggest monnp
olles of the United Htutos, drawn up
In line In front of Mr. Roosevelt,
trying to lead them In a., halleujah
chorus."
Rooxcvell Calls for Proof.
Albany. N. Y., Oct 8. Colonel
Roosevelt has called on Woodrow
Wilson to prove hi statement In Pu
eblo, Col., that the United States Steel
corporation is "behind the third party
program in regard to regulation of
the trusts,"
"As far as I know." Bald Colonel
Uoosevt-lt, "the statement has not the
slightest foundation in fact. Mr. Wil
son has no business to' make such a
statement unless he has the proof anil
If he has any proof I demand that
he make It public Immediately. If he
has not let him retract his statement
as the only manly and honorable thl.iv.
to do.
"Ah far aa I know the only big man
connected with either the steel cor
poration or the Harvester trust who
; supporting me Is Mr. Perkins, An vir
1 Inn ,w all the others In both the
j.tei-1 corporation and the llnru"ite.

Twombley's Office, Not
Morgan's.
Washington, Oct. 8. Wayne Muc-
Veugh today told the Clapp committee
that .Morgan never conversed with
him about political contributions.
Judson C. Welllver, the magazine
writer, testliied yesterday that Mao
Wagh told him he was In Morgan's
otllce In October, 1.904, when Harrl-
man called Morgan on the telephone
and said Roosevelt wanted him to
raisp' moro campaign funds. Maor
Veagh said he did not wish to assert
that he had not given Welllver Borne
basis for the story. "I may have
called on Morgan the day I. have. In
mind, but I remember calling on H.
McK. Twombley at his office in thu
latter part of October, 1904. , While
we were conversing he wis called to
the telephone. Returning he told me
he had been talking to Ilarriman, who
told him the president was anxious cor
the raising of additional funds for this
rnmpalKii and that It had resulted in
Ilarriman agreeing to raise and giva
Treasurer Bliss 240,000. Twombley
told MarVnagh that Ilarriman said he
expected him to give 850,000 and
Twombley also said something thsjt
led MaeVeagh to Infer that Morgan
would give 50.000. .
Former Senator Depew testliied
that he gave 810,00 to H. R, Odcll,
Jr., for tho New York state campaign
of 1804. "Just before the election
Twombley told me the funds were
$40,000 Short and that he was mak
ing up the difference. He needed
$17,000. He assessed me and I gave
a check," Depew said. After his re
election. Depew said, ho was called to
the White House hy Roosevelt to dis
cuss the New York appointments and
he. took occasion to thank the presl-
dent for offering him tho ambassa

expressed surprise. , "I told him ' I
had been offered the amlMiHsadorahlp
If he would withdraw from the race

DOCTORS WLL
. SCIENCE BODIES
Desire That Atnnsies Be Per-
' formed for Medical Re
.. search Purposes.
New York, Oct. 8. With the pur
pose of extending the study of dis
ease and to eliminate the baneful
treatment of incompetent physician
200 members of the Associated Physi
cians of Long Island have gone on
record as pledging their bodies to
science to bo used for autopsies for
special Investigation. This action was
taken at a meeting on Hoffman Island
following an energetic campaign of
pathologists In the association who
foresee a great boon to humanity in
the education of the general public
to the necessity of aunh work.
, Although, the law specifics thfit to
the nearest of kin belongs thn refus
al erf an autopsy, the physicians prac
tically will make wills stat'ng that it
la their wih that their fellow phy
sicians have the privilege of making
such surgical examination as they see
fit.'
Effort.! were made lasf spring to
bring about a more thorough under
standing of the good of autopsies, that
tliTs country might advance In medi
cal knowledge with tho same rapidity
as Germany and other countries of
Europe which for years have had a
law that gives to the Institutions the
right to perform autopsies on all per
sons whose dotiths take plaio In hos
pitals. Forelen nhyslelans pursuing a. line
of examination In mysterious and baf
fling diseases have been enabled to
carry on their work with sufficient
material. In this country physicians
say they have been limited in their
scone because no one may perform an
autopsy without the permission of rel
atives. It has been found here that
the public ha had a morbid Impres-
slon of such medical research and has,
refused permission in almost every I year to the North Carolina Children'
instance. It was to dissipate this vlew,'nome of Greensboro. There. are sev
rhat the members of the asso Satlon er.,i ori)hHns from Wake county In the
of physicians decided to begin a wide -
spread campaign of education. They
believe the sentiment against li is
archaelc and that any step that might
result in saving scores of lives of a
future generation certainly is the op
posite of desecration.
The question Irist spring was re
ferred to a special committee, of
width Dr. William A. Hrownlng wai
chairman. Or. Browning submitted a
report at the Hoffman Island meeting
whhih emphasized the desire for fur
ther knowledge along the lines pro-
,i,,K...l with the ultimate view of
adopting such a system in the hos
pitals In this country as they nav
abroad. He ended with the suggestion
that the phyajclans rould beat Influ
ence the confidence of the public by
setting the example themselves and
contributing their own bodies to
science. Resolutions to this effect were
ndopted unanimously by the more
than two hundred physicians present.

in City's History.
HOST OF GROWN-UPS
WITNESSES EVENT
Great Crowd also at Riverside
When Western Carolina
Fair Opens Its Su
cess Assured.
Never, perhaps, in the history of
the iity has there been such a dem
onstration as the parade of the school
children of the city and county, this
morning at 11 o'clock, which marked
the opening of the Western North
Carolina fair. The day was observed
as education day and hundreds of
children, accompanied by their par
ents and teachers, had come from, ev
ery part of the county. It is estimated
that there were between 5000 and
6000 children in the parade and that
the line would have reached from the
square to Riverside park. It took
nearly an hour to pass. t ,
It was a magnificent sight and was
enjoyed by all who witnessed it as
well as by the children who partici
pated in It The streets were lined
with people and they stood quietly
watching future Amorlea pass until
the last child had disappeared. The
sight would have been a knock-out
blow to pessimism these thousands
of boys and girls of all ages, almost
uniformly bright and intelligent It
was a concrete exposition of the
strides which education has been
making in the mountains during the
past several years. They passed neat
ly dressed, carrying gay banners and
flags, ' with drums beating,, shouting
their school yells and singing patriotic
and school songs. It (was a tight to
gladden the eyes and to make a. man
glad .thM-IiiB- 4v4JyeTT-at ,t.his partic.. .
ula-r time. ';"'.-..
: Many Spet Utors, too.
The school children were by far the
most important part of the exhibition
but they were not all of it. The spec
tators were Important, too, and there
was none to be seen who did not
,eem to be glad that he was here. It
Is a wonder that so many were here
and how they got here. It was a per
fect -day, which did much to contrib
ute to the success of the occasion.
The children were in charge of the
loanhori nnri vprn firrouned together
,n gcnooig and classes, marching two
ners on which were the names of the
schools and tha classes, and in the
claw and s fiool colors being carried
in front. The county schools came
first. " There were 27 of them coming
from s far as Leicester and Barn
ardsville. The county schools must
have averaged 100 pupils each.
The children began to mobilize
about 10 o'clock on the lot back of
the Langren hotel, and those of each
school were grouped together and
started on their way. They marched
to Spruce street, then to Woodfln, out
to North Main, from thera to Pack
square; then down Patton avenue,
and back up Government street and
out Haywood to the Auditorium.
. First came West Ashevdlle Graded
school with seven grades, the child
ren shouting and singing, each wav
ing flags and with a scattering of
school color This waa one of the
largest schools represented. Then
me the Emma achool, followed oy
the l-'alrvlew High school, eacn wun
large delegations. Flat Creek camo
next then Juplier, Leicester and Mt
Cnrmel. These came a dosen miles
but most of the pupil must have been
In the parade. Then In order followed
Weaverville, New Found. Black Moun
tain High school, Montreat, Blltmore,
and the Johnson achool. The Grace
school was Well represented and was
followed by Oak Hill, Liberty and
Prankton. Stony Fork, Valley Springs.
West Chapel, Woodfln and Barnards
vllle sent large representation. Band
Hill, Swannanoa, Candler High school.
Flint Hill, Red Oak and Democrat

The Ashevllle school were headed
by the Asheland srhool, proceeded by

pupils, most of them a-mall.
