ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE HAS CLEARED SITUATION Declares That It Has Defined tbe Posi tion and Views of Both Great Parties Upon Vial Political and Economical Questions. 'Washington, D. C, Fefb. 12. The atti tude of the Republican party on the tariff question, and the President's re cent special message to Congress, in which be called attention to the neces sity for certain legislation, were the themes of a lengthy speech in the House of Representatives today by Mr. Rich ardson, of Alabama. He congratulated the Democrats of the House and the country on the joint debate in Congress during the last fortnight, and said that it had in a remarkable manner cleared up the political atmosphere and forcibly defined the position and views of both of the great political parties on vital political and economic questions. Tariff reform, said Mr. Richardson, is the issue that would clarify the political atmosphere. "Let us stand for free raw material, he explained, "and the victory is ours." He charged that on that point the Republican party was weak, and stood discredited with the people by its broken pledges. He did not hesi tate to say that the tariff was an issue that appealed to the people more than the Panama canaT, the railroads, the currency, the freedom of the Philip pines, imperialism Or the question of un harmed malefactors, so soundly denounc- (Continued on Page Four.)

The six automo biles contesting iu the New York to Paris race started from Times Square, Forty-second street and Broadway, at 11.15 a. m. today,' -cheered by a throng of several thousand people. 'Accompanied by more than two hundred motors of all descriptions the racing machines made their way up Broadway and River side drive to the city limits, where they turned north on the road to Albany. Mayor McClellan was to have given the word to start, but was delayed, and I i-oigaie noyt, 01 me .-vuioinoiuie ciud of America, took his place. All traflic in the neighborhood of Times Square was stopped a half hour before the start. Automobiles clogged the intersecting streets and lined the routs for many blocks up Broadway. A band in the official grandstand played the anthems of the nations as the cars lined up for the start. A pistol shot sent the contestants away amid the cheers and the hoarse hooting of hundreds of automobile horns. The contesting cars are finest-looking machines ever designed for motor ing purposes.

"A Ruinous Victory" is the title of a typevritten circular statement that is being dis tributed extensively among the railroad employes and other workmen in this and other sections of the state. , The copy given below was procure.! from a well-known locomotive engineer here, to-wit: "We are told that the reduction of passenger fares half a cent a mile is a great 'victory' for the people and the reform administrations. -.' "But is it a 'victory' for the 100,000 idle wage-earners in the south who want work, and can't get itf "It it a 'victory which is apprecia ted by 300,000 wage-earners in the south whose wages or hours have been re duced ?

"Then who are celebrating! "A few officeholders and the reform press, with a sprinkling of oflice-seek-ers. These politicians and their newspa per allies have to 'holler' and try to fool the people because thousands of the latter are condemning them. "How the .people out of jobs love the state governors for these 'victories' which have Bhaken the confidence of in vestors in southern enterprises and ' caused semi-paralysis of business! "In their affection for the political agitators, labor and capital stand to gether. The loss which the demagogues have brought on labor, to say nothing of capital, runs up into the millions, mid the total loss to the south due to these men and their kind reaches half a billion dollars in money, a river of tears from brngry women and children crying for bread, a million wails from despondent men out of employment, ami how many lives only the good iJod knows I "Another 'victory like this one over the railroads, snd the south will be in almost as pitiable a condition as it was at the close of the war.

That there was not a single allegation of fact in the affidavit of Abraham Buef with ref erence to his understanding with tho prosecution for immunity, was the dec laration of Assistant Distri"t Attorney Francis J. lleney touay after Henry Aeh, counsel for Ruef, had argued at length in support of his motion for the vacation of Knot's arraignment on the United Railway's trolley franchise in dictments. If sustained this motion would enable Ruef to withdraw his plea and attack the indictment with demur rers and motions to set aside. It seemed from the remarks of Judge Tawler that tho entire question of the immunity contract betweepi the prose cution and Ruef will have to be threshed out at this hearing, preliminary to the actual trial of Ruef, in order to ena ble the court to determine whether tho defendant has any relief in law because of his allegation ' that the prosecution and not he broke the agreement. Judge Lawlcr continued the hearing until Friday. MEYEH SAYS SENATE S DOT HIS APPBISTEES Postmaster.Ceneral Thinks Can Keep Man in Federal Olflce. . He FLORIDA CASE STARTED IT Washington, D.

Post-master-iicncr.il Meyer today informed the Senate that'll beliuveil.hu has the right to continue a postmaster 111 oflice even if the nomination formally has been rejected by the Senate. This position raises an issue between 1111 .-executive department and the Sen ate, over the constitutional provision re lating to appointments and continua tions of federal officeholders. The communication from the postofliee department-relates to tho case of Wil liam Northup, postmaster at Pensacola, Fla. Senator Taliaferro discovered re cently that Northup is still drawing the salary as postmaster in spile of the fact that his nomination was rejected nearly a year ago. At his sugtrestion the Senate called upon the postmaster-general for an explanation. 'Hie resjionsi? was brief.
