of THE SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1911. WON'T LET UP ON TRUSTS BUSINESS GET BACK TO COMPETITION, HE SAYS. President Replies to Criticisms That Have Been Made Upon Recent Speeches In Which He Defended the Sherman Law--An Ardent Plea for the Courts. BOISE.

Idaho, Oct. The thirteenth State on the itinerary of the Taft special was passed to-day. The President made three scheduled stops in Idaho, at Pocatello, Caldwell and Boise, but he made nearly a dozen short rear end platform speeches at towns along the route. The President in his speeches in Idaho devoted most of his attention to the conduct of the Interior Department, which is the arm of the Government most intimately connected with the people of this part of the country, where the administration and disposition of the public domain 14 important a question. He has used every opportunity to sing the praises of his new progressive SecreI tary of the Interior.

Walter 1.. Fisher of Chicago. A pusher from Chicago." is the appellation that the President gave Mr. Fisher to-day. There has been a great deal of dissatisfaction in this region over the dilatorines4 of The Interior Department 'under the Ballinger It is a matter of vital interest to the people here that they secure reasonably quick action from the Interior Department on their claims with to the public lands.

The attacks the Interior respect, ment while Mr. Ballinger was there threw things into such a muddle that public business came almost to a halt at times. Mr. Taft is putting Secretary Fisher forward as the man who can straighten out this condition of affairs and give the people of the West a businesslike administration. audiences in this State and elsewhere West where he has spoken on the subject have emphatically registered their thankfulness for this promise.

Mr. Fisher will have a big job before him in the next year and few members of Mr. Taft's Cabinet will have better chance to help the administration. Mr. Taft to-day replied to some of the criticisms that have been directed against him in the East because of his declaration that the Sherman law as interpreted in the recent decisions of the Supreme Court was a valuable Government asset and that the Attorney -General was under to prosecute without discretion all combinations existing in violation of that law.

The President again declared that the prosecutions must go on and that it was not in the discretion of the Chief Executive to withhold prosecutions of unlawful combinations simply because it would help business. He said he expected and believed that the harm to business which prosecutions are causing would cease when the business interests came to understand that this law was to be enforced and that they must return to a basis which would restore competition. He said he realized the harm to business which the prosecutions are bringing. but that business must pay that price and reform itself. All reforms of evils he asserted were bound to produce situationa that would halt business, but the reforms would have to be made even so.

Then Mr. Taft said he reason why when the business interests should have reformed in conformity with the Sherman law there should not be a rise to greater and greater prosperity. The President denounced those who have attacked the Supreme Court for the decisions in the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust cases out making any definite statement of a case meriting prosecution which could not under those decisions be proved a violation of the law. He said that since he had made his challenge in his speech on the trusts at Detroit. he had read columns and columns of what parported to be an answer to his challenge.

but that he had not heard one word from any of the publicists suggesting a concrete case. The President pounded upon the table as he cried: "When a court is doing its duty. when it is trying to reach the law as it ought to be, to have it condemned and attacked and its motives questioned for mere political purposes without any solid ground for attack, goes to my heart, and I I I I I resent it with deep indignation." The President continued: one in my place, charged with the execution of the law, there is no discretion with reference to the trial of cases that are brought to the attention of the Execntive as violations of the law. The prosecutions must go on. It is not for the Executive to Hay that he can withhoid criminal prosecutions or any kind of prosecutions just to help business.

BuNineas must reform itself, and these execttive duties must be performed under the oath of office I tool: and under the oath of office that all of those under me took. But when the business community, that part of it that has thought this statute did not mean anything. understands that it is to be enforced, then we may reach a conclusion and a solution that will enable the business community to settle down on 8 proper and legitimate basis. hope that is near at hand. When that is done, with the railroads under proper machinery and supervision.

with the principles of right business settled with reference to the general government, then we must get togetHer for the purposes of prosperity." Referring to the eriticism of the Supreme Court in the anti-trust decisions the President said: Supreme Court has been greatly criticised by publicists and jurists and others that perhaps do not aspire to those resounding laws. The Supreme Court has said that in the construction of this statute they were going to follow the light of reason and they were going to construe it in the light of reason. And the publiciate and jugists says that was a great mistake. "They say you ought not to construe it in the light of reasoning; you ought to give it the most literal construction sible. They say that by your construing posit in light of reason they have emasculated the statute and made it harmless against the evil which was contemplated by Congress.

Now I challenge and have challenged one of those publicists or jurists to state to me a case that any reasonable man would say ought to be condemned under the law which would not condemned under the rule of construetion which the Supreme Court has laid down. I have delivered that challenge in many parts of the country and I have received no answer. "Oh, columns, columns intended to be a reply, but no suggestion of a case that they are willing to put forward a a case that ought to be condemned under the law that would not be condemned under the rule of the construction that the Supreme Court has laid down. "It is time to come down to Now let them give a specitie greatest court instance instead of attacking the on earth and charging it with deliberately emenlating a statute that WAN enacted by Congress to remedy a great evil. Let them cite a single instance that is not covered by the judgment of the cont in construing that statute that they think ought to be condemned and is not I am waiting to hear.

when a court is doing its duty. when it is trying to reach law as it ought to be, to have it condemned and attacked and its motives questioned for toere political purposes without any solid ground for attack, goes to my heart and I resent it with deep indignation. What distinguishes this court from any other is. the Supreme Court we have at Washington that has stood often between UH and errors that might have been committed that would have been injurious to thisco intry and toturn upon that court and question motives and it is to lay the axe at the root of the tree of our civilization. The President addressed a large county fair audience at Caldwell and an outdoor crowd of about 15,000 people at Boise.

At both places when he mentioned the determination of the Administration to push the affairs of the Interior Department and pledged his support of Secretary Fisher in the promises that he had made while West the crowds cheered him Though he was only in Boise two hours they made the most. elaborate preparations for the visit, and a dense lined every block of his journey through the city. 1'.

Murder in Plot to km Orozco. MONTEREY. Mexico, Oct. 6. -Efforts to enter large stores of arms and ammunition surreptitiously at Rio border and gulf coast points are being frustrated by the Government.

One shipment of contraband munitions of war was captured at a point near Presidio del Norte, on the Mexican side of the river, and another shipment was confiscated at Vera Cruz.

6. Although credited by nis enemies with coming to San Antonio to a revolution against Francisco I. heath Madero, Gen. Bernardo Reyes will receive the greatest welcome ever accorded a Mexican in this city when he arrives here to-morrow. Probably every Mexican not directly attached to Madero will participate in the reception.

Emilio Vasquez Gomez, candidate for President of Mexico in the recent election, reached here to-day with Dr. Sebastian Trevino, one time an adherent of Madero. but now credited with having joined the Vasquesitas. Those who appear well informed say that Vasquez Gomez and Gen. Reyes will hold a conference tomorrow at which representatives of the Magonistas also will be present.

Gen. Reyes has emphatically said that he was not coming here to head a revolution. Many, however, believe that the conference will have to do with a coalition to overthrow Madero by inaugurating a new revolution on December 1. Hundreds of spies are now in the city. I President -elect Madero has a number here.

On the other hand the here in force and the Magonistas have men watching events and reporting to Flores Magon, leader of that party, which is now said to be ready to launch a new revolution in Lower California and the State of Sonora. The United States has increased its force and secret service men are watching every man of prominence in either party. It is the plan to prevent any violation of the neutrality laws and every movement will be scrutinized. Agents of Madero say they captured a shipment of arms at El Paso de la Paloma 8 few dave ago. It had been smuggled across the river near Eagle Pass, on four pack mules.

The girl said when she was revived that an Italian had jumped out from behind a tree, pulled her from her wheel and dragged her over stone wall into the bushes. She gave a fairly good descrip'tion of her assailant. She said she fought him off until she was struck and made insensible.

When story of the attack was spread among the farmers they hitched up their horses and drove to the scene of the crime. Others came on foot, on horseback or in automobiles. Almost every man Was armed with some kind of weapon. The automobile party gave up their trip to Danbury to join in the search for the girl's assailant.

Police Commissioner Waldo yesterday wrote to Judge Swann informing him that charges of perjury had been preferred against the eight policemen who testified before Judge Swann when John Horay was convicted of grand larceny in swindling a Russian immigrant out of $305. When Horay was convicted Judge Swann said that he believed the policemen had come for the purpose of swearing the case out of court.

They are all from the Union Market station, where Policeman Reuben Huntington, now under Indictment for helping Horay fleece the immigrant, is stationed. "The cases," Commissioner Waldo wrote, be called for trial Monday, October 9. at 2 P. M. You will be subponad as a witness.

The Police Department will furnish you every aid within its power to prove these charges." In his answer Judge Swann makes a mild objection to being to enforce discipline in the Police Department. It was his duty as a public officer, he says, to send a certified copy of the testimony to the Police Commissioner together with the opinion expressed by the jury that the policemen were lying. "By consulting your counsel." he writes "you will find that there is no rule of evidence that will make my evidence competent. The transaction was, in May. when 1 had no personal knowledge of it.

have given you the sources of my information and stated the grounds of my opinion, which were sufficient to find the codefendant guilty beyond 8 reasonable doubt. They have been submitted to you and whether it is the for your identical department evidence to is say sufficient to dismiss the offending officer. especially when supplemented by the a subsequent confession of the codefendant Horay, and his wife." In his inquiry into the charges brought by Horay and Mrs. Horay against Michael Tandlich, an interpreter in the Court of Special Sessions, Judge Swann yesterday examined John Horay, his wife, Sophie, Frederick Ward and Henry Lopacki, who were also implicated by Horay's confession. Judge Swann is investigating the stories told by these witnesses, pecially certain assertions made by them regarding three cases which were disanissed in the Court of General Sessions because of the absence of the complaining witness.

revelations made yesterday brought no further accusations against policemen. William E. Murphy, oounsel for Huntington, called on Judge Swann yesterday and said that his client felt that Judge Swann was prejudiced against him and that if the case was to be tried in Judge Swann'e court he should ask for a change of venue, Judge Swann told Mr. Murphy that he should not insist upon trying the case. $10,000 DEATH VERDICT.

WHERE QUEENS MONEY WENT PRESIDENT CONNOLLY TELLS A THING OR TWO. Wonderful Performance at Repairing Highway Which He Saw Himself- He Pledges Himself to a Straightening Out of Some of the Crookedness. Maurice E. Connolly, the new Borough President of Queens, told the Chamber of Commerce of Queens at a meeting of that body held in the Waldorf- -Astoria, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, that with the help of all good citizens he intended wiping out the disrepute, under which that borough has since consolidation and give the the borough confidence a of government large that will inspire investors. He said there was to be no holdups of big corporations.

He more intended to see that every investor in Queens got a fair deal. He believed all investors wanted was to know that they would be treated honestly, and he proposed while President of Queens to try to elevate the public tone to such an extent that capital would be invited to the undeveloped sections. He asked for the support of the Chamber of Commerce and in a rising vote that body pledged him its, backing. In is short address President Connolly told of the helpless confusion in which he found affairs in Queens. He told of Elm street in the Ridgewood tion, where a contract had been given for paving the street with macadam.

Later an objection was made to this sort of paving, so without even the formality of cancelling the macadam contract or even notifying the contractor the borough officials went joyfully ahead and gave out another contract for paving the street with asphalt. Thus they pleased both sides. Unfortunately the ones responsi- ble for this muddle will gO out of office before the time comes to straighten out the tangle. The day after his election President Connolly visited a friend in St. John's Hospital in Long Island City and looking out one of the high windows watched a gang of two foremen and five laborers working on the highway.

One foreman was leaning against a telegraph pole reading a paper. The second foreman WAS helping a pretty nurse girl push a baby carriage. Two of the laborers were attired in tan shoes and white shirts and they stood a little bit aloof from the othere. An ancient steed had just drawn to the scene a cartload of sand and two of the laborers holding the horse while instead of dumping the sand one lone laborer mounted the cart and began throwing it out a shovelful at a time. The last laborer leaned on his shovel and gazed dreamily at the scape.

"That is the way, gentlemen," said President Connolly, "that your money has been spent on the highways." He had found one way the old administrations had of pacifying complaints. It was to pass resolutions for any sort of an improvement and that WAS As far as it ever got. When he told the holdover officials to get busy in repairing a certain highway the first day he took office, one of the former heads of departments leaned over confidently and said: "Ah, Mr. President, but we have already spent all the money that fund, and will have to lay off the highway gangs for the winter. President Connolly considered this an encouraging condition of affairs for a new Borough President to face.

He also said he proposed to have the same kind of paving as other boroughs, and he intended interesting himself in the speedy opening of the Belmont tunnel between Fortysecond street in Manhattan and Long Island City.
