The governor today would not com

voiced his Ideas on that Issue, lie aid,
in his recent rortlnnd. Me., speech.
In his academy address last night, the
Republican candidate for the second
office in tho nation said a scientific ad
justment of the tariff would be neces

ment ownership will solve any of the
tuition's economic problems. Turning
toward the question of the govern
ment's function and the people's re

"The more we investigate the plainer

There is no other salvation. Industrial

COLBY SAYS G. 0. P.
APPEALS TO RACES
Accuses Republicans of Inject
ing Europoan Prejudices Into
American Campaign
CITES GERMAN SUPPORT
Ily the Associated Press
Chicago, Oct. 10. Spenklng nt a
luncheon nt the Iroquois Club hero to
day f-ecrctary of State Colby charged
the Republican party with "the
methodical effort to play upon the sus
ceptibilities of every raciol group in
America," and characterized it as "one
of the most sinister features" of the
Republican campaign.
He nccused the Republicans of trans
porting to America nnd injecting into
purely domestic issues factional strifes
and prejudices of Kuropc, nnd of tak
ing advantage of these susceptibilities
lu immlgrnnts before they have had
time to learn America and become
American.
Mentioning the Germans, by way of
illustration, Mr. Colby declared thnt
any general organized support from the
German element In America is an ex
pression of cither disappointment or
resentment nt the course of the United
States in the war.
"There is not a journal published in
German," the speaker charged, "or n
newspaper that during the war enjoyed
prominence on pro-German In il lean
ings that is not supnorting Hnrding
and the Republican ticket today. There
is not a German supporter or n sym
pathizer who wus n subject of prudent
attention on the part of the United
States authorities during the war who
is not supporting the Republican ticket,
and there Is only one renbon for this
support, they hate the President who
pulled the mabK nsiuc irom i-russian
arrogance.
"They hnte the party under whose
direction nnd leadership the victorious
war was fought in which America con
tributed the decisive blows that crushed
and humbled the German hostility to
free institutions."
Whut he said of German element,
Secretary Colby explained, applied to
every other rurlul group In America
that' thinks more of gratifying its racial
antipathies than it docs of serving
America.
"The Democratic party," said the
speaker, "Is un American party. It
appeals to Americons on American is
sues. It welcomes into our body politic
and Into our social family the well
meaning immigrants of nil rueei and
all climes, but the hand of fellowship
thnt it holds out to them Is the hand
of Amcrlcnn fellowship and it will ex
tend no other greeting."

to uavlgute.
"Seas stripped the deck and poured
into the holds. In less than an hour tho

"A few minutes later the chief en
gineer reported that the engine room
was so badlv flooded the fires had been

manned the minnis. but hy this time the
wooden hull had sprung a leak and was

The wireless operator refused to forsake

"Ninclecn sailors took to the other

ON MURDER CHARGE
District Attnrnnv Will Spflk In-
UlSiriCI Attorney Will OeeK in-
dlctment for Death of
Coughlin Baby
MORE "CONFESSIONS" OUT
Augusto Pnsquale wl' bo indicted and
tried for murder, if District Attorney
Francis X. Rcnnlnger. of Montgomery
county, is able to bring this about.
Mr. Rcnnlnger made the statement to
day that the murder charge would be
pressed against Pnsquale, known other
wise as "The Crank," the self-confessed
kidnapper nnd slayer of thirteen-months-old
BInkcly Coughlin.
Yesterday it seemed to be the opinion
of the district attorney's office It would
be poor policy to try Pasquale on a ,
murder chnrce. because It hnd not been ,
posslblo to prove tho actual commission ;
oi tno crime.
The decision to prosecute for murder
was reached after a lengthy conference
touny in Mr. Uenninger's ounce, in
which the district attorney, his assist;
nut, A. 11. Hendricks, Captain Samuel
Genrliart, of the state police; George
II. Coughlin, father of the baby; Major
U. Townley Larzclcro, tno t:ouguiins
attorney ; Detective George Gibson, of
tho Philadelphia bureau, who made some
of the most importnnt finds of the in
vestigation, and Detective William Bel
shaw. of the Philadelphia murder
squad, took imrt.
"I have decided to prosecute this man
for murder." Mr. Rennlnger said later.
"I won't give my reasons nt this time,
but I consider that as district attorney
and the prosecutor in this case, I must
add murder to tho other charges wc have
against him.
Would Set Precedent
"It 'will be im to the court to pass on
tho admissibility of evidence, and I
will leave that question entirely to it.
A conviction ran be obtuincd In a mur -
dor case on circumstantial evidence nnd
wo hayc in this matter the strongest
kind of a case, and I Intend to make a
test of it. It wil be a mighty good
question 10 nuvc uircsiieu ml now iino
settled for good. I recognize that it
will establish a nreeedent
"There Is no doubt of our ability to
convict this, mun of kidnapping. We
also have positive proof of the extor
tion and burglary charges."
Coptain (icarbart today said that tne
recent trip tuken to New York by him
self, Coughlin and Lurzclcre hnd been
for tho purpose of trying to locate
bank books of Pasqualc's, so that some
of the money out of which he bwindled
Coughlin might be recovered.
Stands by "Confession"
"It was such a nice little bov," he
said one night to Haines. "Ho was
a pretty child. I hated to put hi mlu
the water. I sat and held him in my
arms for hours until it became day
break, and then I had to throw him
in."
Pnbqunlo lies stuck to his last "con
fession," in the midnight conversations,
according to Haines, even though he
yesterday repudiated it.
"What's the ue of trying me on
those other charges?" ho asked one
flight. "I wonder how long it will bo
before they send mo to tho electric
chair?"
"I'm a bnd mon. My life was a
failure. I want to die."
Haines says that Pasquale sleeps
fitfully, htartlng up often during tho
night groaning, as though his conscience
troubled him.
Girl to See "The Cranlt"
Captain Soudcr. of the Philadelphia
detective force, took 12-year-old Bessie
Ferdman. granddaughter of Mrs. Rose
Ashermon, ou rsortn tiiguth street,
whom Pasqualo says ho murdered
twenty-four hours before tho kidnan-
plng of tho Coughlin baby, to Norris
town to seo "Tho Crank."
They left nt noon today. The little
girl was unablo to Identify tho prison
er's picture, and tho Is to bo given a
chance to see him fare to face.
Corporal Charles A. Haines, of the
stato police, and one of the guards who
laIe .Ee" ,"n Z'!i!rK8,fl
ever sineo he was canrured. has been
made "The Crank's" confidont many
nlghtfl between midnight and 8 8. m.
Pasquale hns elaborated his recently
published confession, adding to the tal'o
or muraor two more snootings, which
he says may havo been murders, but lie
docs not know.
"I was working nt an iron works
near Conshnhoeken about five years
ago," ho told Haines. "One night two
other men they were Poles wero
drinking with me. One of them got
mad at something and enmo nt me with
n bottle. I shot him. Then the other
interfered and I shot him too. Then
I made my getnwav. I never heard
whether thev had died,"
Pasquale hns confided to the corpornl
during the lone watches of the night
that he "doesn't mind so much nbout
tho woman on Eighth htreet, but he is
sorry for the baby."

Ml itnrv leave has been stonned In
tho Portsmouth district, owing to the
strike. Considerable forces are main
tained there, nnd the officers and men on
leave have been recalled.
Some of tho iron and steel works in
tho north of Yorkshire already have
succumbed to the coal strike threat, with
Its implication of a prospective coal
shortage. With few exceptions all the
works on tho Tecslde were closed today,
nnd about 20,000 men have been thrown
out of employment. It is stated that all
the works in this district will be idle
after today. The local shipyards along
the Tees will be kept going, however, for
a few days."
Steel Milts to Close
From Sheffield comes the report that
whllo Bomo of thebig factories havo sun
plies of coal sufficient for three weeks
the staple trades will bo immediately
affected, as the average supply of coal
is sumcient for one week only. At the
end of that time, it ls estimated, there
will be 80,000 stccl.Jron, engineering,
cutlery and electroplate workers idle.
On the marine sioc, ocean liners nave

abroad as much n3 possible. Reports
from Liverpool state that whllo this may
ease the situation the hold-up of ship
ping wil nono the less be serious, and
much disqulctudo ls felt there.
Representatives of the United States

ministry of shipping, which gave tho
board reason for confidence that noao

up. The board nent a message to head
quarters in America, suggesting that all
steamships calling this way carry coal
for the round trip.

It is declared to bo possimo uuu
transatlantic passongers may be ex
