REVIEWED BIG FLEET
President Inspected Most Powerful
Force Ever Assembled Here.
Oyster Bay, Sept. 4—On the waters
of Long Island Sound, within view of
Sagamore Hill, the president of the
United States reviewed the greatest
fleet of American war ships ever as-
sembled.
There was a ship of war for every
state, 45 in all, ranging in size from
the magnificent 16,000-ton cruiser just
completed to the fleet little torpedo
boat and the submarines, and includ-
ing one troop ship and colliers. In
three columns there stretched along
the sound 12 battleships, four armored
cruisers, four protected cruisers, four
monitors, six destroyers, six torpedo
boats, submarines, a troop ship and
five auxiliaries.
In peace paint of spotless white,
wreathed in rainbows of flags, ship
rails manned “close aboard,” the splen-
did fleet underwent the ceremony of
inspection by the president of the
United States.
When the Mayflower reached the
head of the three columns a tremen-
dous salute of 21 guns was fired in
unison by every ship. The ocffiial re-
view began with this salute.
When the Mayflower reached the
head of the column to begin the re-
view, the fleet was completely sur-
rounded by fully 500 boats large
enough to weather the blow and load-
ed with sightseers to their full capac-
ity. A large number of three-deck
steamers, each carrying thousands of
passengers, ran down from New York
and others came from Connecticut
ports and towns on the Long Island
shore. They all maintained perfect
order, not a boat breaking through the
cordon of naval launches thrown
around the fleet,
GANS DEFEATS NELSON
White Lad Lost Hard Fight By Delib-
erate Foul In 42d Round.
Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 4 — Battling
Nelson lost the fight by fouling Joe
Gans in the 42d round of the best and
longest fight seen in many years. Both
men were tired when the fight ended,
but Gans was apparently the stronger.
He was away ahead on points and had
smashed and cut Nelsén all through
the fight without being severely hurt
himself.
The box office receipts were over
$80,000, and the purse $33,500. Under
the agreement Nelson receives $22,500
and Gans $11,000.
Shortly after the 42d round began
the men were in their usual clinch.
Nelson had his head on Gans’ shoulder
and his arm down. Several times he
hit Gans below the belt, apparently
feeling for a vital spot. At last he
drew back his right arm and hit Gans
a vicious blow square in the groin.
The colored boy sank to his knees
and rolled over on his back. Referee
Siler, without hesitation, ordered Nel:
son to his corner and awarded the
fight to Gans on a foul.
BURIED BOY ALIVE
Sixteen-year-old Chicago Lad Con

Chicago, Sept. 3.—Robert Gordon, 1€
years old, confessed that he struck Jo-
seph Reed, 8 years old, with a brick,
stunning him, and then buried him
glive beneath a sidewalk in front of
his father's home, 2877 Archer avenue,
The boy's body was found where Gor-
don said he had buried it, and Gordon
was arrested,
The absence of the Reed boy was no-
ticed about 2 in the afternoon, and
search was begun for him. Gordon led

him to where the body was buried and
assisted in digging it up. When taken
to a police station Gordon confessed
that he enticed the boy to the basement
of the Reed home and mistreated him.
When Reed attempted to escape, Gor-
don struck him on the head with a
brick. He then buried him alive under
the sidewalk. The Reed and the Gor-
don families live near one another, and
have been friends for several years.

of Acceptance.
ISSUES MORAL, NOT POLITICAL
Lincoln Party-Democratic Nominee
For Lieutenant Governor Arraigns
Gang For Annulling the Constitution
By Allowing Railroads to Control the
Legislature.
Jeremiah 8. Black, Fusion nominee
for lieutenant governor, in accepting
the nomination, declared himself en
tirely in accord with the program for
cleaning up the state. He said:
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
My nomination for the office of lien-
tenant governor was unsolicited—at
no time and in no sense have I been a
seeker for this or any public office. 1
have been always content to remain
in private life, striking a blow for the
general geod as opportunity offered
fighting the fight as a man in the
ranks,
I accept the nominations offered me
by the Democratic party and the Lin-
colin party, and shall bear the burdens
and responsibilities of the candidacy,
only because no man who believes as
I do in the honest administration of
the government, and in equal and
suit protection of the personal and
property rights of all alike, can refuse
to serve the cause in such place as may
be allotted to him.
The governmental and political con-
ditions in Pennsylvania have sunk to
a level of baseness that no man can
describe, without a blush of shame for
the state of which he is a citizen.
For more than 40 years, the state of
Pennsylvania and all its assets have
been in the grasp of a political machine
as corrupt as ever existed in the world.
Disregard of the fundamental law and
violation of the duties incumbent upon
public officers have been so habitual as
to become second nature with those
reared in the school of politicians who
have controlled Pennsylvania.
The machine parasites and lackeys
have been educated in the belief that
public office is but an opportunity for
personal fortune, It has been the
fashion for public officers, great or
small, to go into business for them-
selves, using the power of their offices
for their personal gain.
The misgovernment and corruption
with which the state is cursed grows
out of the habit, deep-rooted here, of
public servants making a business of
their duty.
For 40 years there has been no gov-
ernment in Pennsylvania by the people
and for the people. The state has been
misruled by the lawless company, in
the name of the Republican party, for
the advancement of the material in-
terests of the greater corporations,
These people and their puppets shoved
into the official places, are not and
never have been public servants. They
are the servants of. the corporations
who pay them higher wages than the
people can afford, and they have served
their masters well.
In 1872, 33 years ago, the people
gained rome advantage as against the
plunderers who had the state by the
throat. In that year was adopted the
new constitution. In the 17th article
of that constitution is plainly and sim-
ply written the law declaring all rail-
roads public highways; forbidding dis-
crimination in charges for carrying
passengers or freight; forbidding com-
mon carriers, directly or indirectly, to
engage in mining or manufacturing
articles for transportation over their
roads or in any other business than
that of common carriers; forbidding
officers or employes of railroad compa-
nies to be interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in furnishing material or sup-
plies to such companies; forbidding the
issuing of free passes by railroad com-
panies to any persons except employes
of their company.
The embodiment of these principles
into the fundamental law of the state
was at the time considered a great
victory for the people. But the pro-
visions of the 17th article are not self-
executing. Legislation was needed to
enforce them, and therefore, it is pro-
vided by the 12th section of the 17th
article that “the general assembly
shall enforce, by appropriate legisla
tion, the provisions of this article.”
The constitution was adopted by
course, have permitted no legislation
that would check their plundering.
We have the humiliating memory
tion upon whose free ticket he travels
the public highways without charge.
Every executive and judicial officer
who has done these things should be
impeached and removed from his of
fice. But that remedy has been im-
possible, because an impeachment
must be instituted in the House of
Representatives and tried by the Sen
ate, and these bodies have always been
offending in the same meanner. They
could not be expected to punish other
public officers for the offense that
they themselves were committing.
We are having today the humiliat-
ing experience of hearing from the
evidence Introduced In proceedings
carried on by the federal government,
the character and extent of the vio-
{ations of the las indulged in by the
railroads of the state—humiliating be-
cause it demonstrates what our own
weakness against the thieves has
been—because it demonstrates that
for long years we have not exercised
the right of self-government.
That conditions have become intol-
erable. we affirm; and the candidates
put forward by the same old machine
this year admit the truth of the im-
peachment, but beg vou to trust them
once more, promising reformation.
One of them in his published ietter of
acceptance announces that “The era
of machine-like subserwlency which
heretofore has been regarded as essen-
tial to political success has disap
peared. * * *" He says that cer-
tain Republicans do not comprehend
“that the clouds which encircled the
korizon have been dissolved by the
sun of public wrath; that all future
contests for public office, from the
highest to the lowest, are free to all,
subject only to the decision of the
people; that the internal government
of the party by the force of events
has become and will remain
free, * * »
Here is the admission of the “ma:
thine-like subserviency” charged. Here
is the admission that clouds encircled
the horizon under machine rule; the
admission that contests for public of:
fice have not been free, and the ad
mission that the internal government
of the Republican party has been in
the hands of the enemies of the peo
ple—subservient to the gang of plun
derers, and not free.
There can be no talk of reform at
the hands of those who have made re
form necessary—you may set a thief
to catch a thief, but you will never
place a thief in person or by his rep
resentative in position to steal again.
Since 1873, the fight for the people
and thelr constitutional rights has
been waged by the Democrats and in
the name of the Democratic party,
with, in several instances, assistance
from some other party affiliations.
The Democratic party has fought the
fight which much of the time seemed
hopeless. It has stood by its guns
through good report and evil—and to
day the party stands where it always
has stood, for the enforcement of the
constitution and for proper regulation
of common carriers and all public or
quasi-public corporations; for equal
protection, under the laws, for the
rights of all persons of whatsoever
class or condition; for honest adminis
tration of the state government; for
proper punishment of offending offi
cials.
At session after sesison of the leg
islature, the representatives of the
Democratic party have proposed legis
lation for the enforcement of the con
stitution, for ballot reform, for the
correction of corporate abuses; in ev
ery case they have gone down to de
feat at the hands of the machine op
posed to them. The force of crime and
money wielded by the corruptionists
has beaten down every attempt at bet:
terment.
Now at last, proofs of the rascality
of the plunderers who have ruled the
state have accumulated heavily, and
the truth has been brought home to ev:
ery reader of the public press. Public
opinion is aroused, and the annihila
tion of the gang is close at hand—
when all parties are ready to join
hands in the cause of freedom and in
dependence.
In this crisis, tite Democratic party,
with not less than 450,000 votes, rises
clear of all party considerations, with
an eye single to the sure redemption
of the state. It has excluded from ite
platform all national issues, and placed
at the head of its ticket a broad-mind
ed Republican, who from time to time,
before today, fought in the ranks of
Democracy, against the oppressors of
the people.
The issues of this campaign are
moral rather than political. Rallied
around the fusion flag are men of all
parties who wish to drive the perjurer,
the thief and the briber from the gov
ernment of the state and from party
council, whether the party be Demo
cratic or Republican.
The Republicans who admire and
believe in their president must feel ili
at ease in association with the Fann
sylvania gangsters, if their memories
run back to the action of the gang
legislature of 1905, rescinding, under
gang orders, a resolution commending
the course of the president in his ef
forts to secure legislation regulating
the business of trunk lines—=& resolu
tion which the Democrat Creasy by
chance put through.
The weakened gang now calls out
the name of Roosevelt and protests
that it and he stand for one and the
same thing. It has shown its teeth,
but now, a few months after, begs the
support of the friends of the man it
struck in the back.
The old-fashioned Democrat, like
myself, believes that the application of
the principles of the Democratic party
to the government of state or nation
must bring the greatest goad to the
© atest number. He knows that the

In this year's campaign in Pennsyl- |

EXPLOSION IN CANNERY
One Dead and Nearly All of 150 Hands
Receive Some Injury.
Seaford, Del, Sept. 1.—James Del-
ahy, who with four others was in-
jured in a boiler explosion at Noah
Webster's canning factory at Secre-
tary, Md., died in the Cambridge hos-
pital.
The sight after the explosion was
the most pitiful ever seen in Dorches-
ter county. Of the 150 hands at work
nearly every one received some sort
of injuries, and people walking the
streets with blood all over them was
a common sight.
Mrs. Wells, who was horribly burn-
ed, also had a bolt shot through her
thigh. Her recovery is extremely
doubtful, as also is that of Claude
