By Exclusive Wire from Tho Associated Press.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 21. "Boosevelt
day" at the Cincinnati Tall festival
broke all records of attendance nt these
annual carnivals. Tho weather was
threatening when the president arrived,
and during the Indoor receptions of the
morning, but exceptionally pleasant for
the afternoon and evening demonstra
tions. Cincinnati never contained more vis
itors In one day and never had a more
enthusiastic and satisfactory holiday.
President Roosevelt was the attraction
ns well as the guest of honor, and he
served his hosts with untiring willing
ness continuously from 10 a. m. until 10
p. in. without consulting hi3 own con
venience or comfort.
The president was kept on his feet
and busy for more than twelve hours,
with the exception of the time nt the
noon luncheon and the evening banquet
and even then he was engaged in dis
cussing matters of public Interest with
the guests of honor at his table.
After this experience, he was escorted
Into the auditorium of Music hall, and
delivered an address to an Immense
audience, with more than 1,000 business
men and manufacturers seated on the
stage with him.
The President's Address.
V - The presldent-saicl:
Today I wish to speak to you on the
subject, or group of subjects, which wo
mean when we talk of the trusts. Tho
word Is used very loosely and almost
always with technical inaccuracy.
But the average man when he speaks
of the trusts means rather vaguely all
of the very big corporations, the growth
of which has been so signal a feature of
our modern times, and especially those
big corporations which, though organ
ized in one siaie, io iwhiiicsh in several
states and some of which have a ten
dency to monopoly.
This whole subject of the trysts is of
vital concern to us, because it presents
one and perhaps the most conspicuous of
the many problems forced upon our at
tention by tho tremendous industrial de
velopment which has taken plnco during
the lat half century, in all civilized coun
' tries, and notably In our own. Many fac
tors have concurred in bringing about
these changed industrial conditions. Of
M, these, steam and electricity are the chief.
The extraordinary change In tho meth
ods of transportation of merchandise and
of transmission of Intelligence has ren
dered not only possible, but Inevitable,
the Immedlato lncreaso In tho rate of
growth of Industrial centers that Is, of
great cities.
Hence has resulted tho specialization of
Industries, and tho unexampled opportu
nities offered for tho employment of huge
amounts of capital, and therefore for the
rlso In tho business world of those mas
ter minds through whom alone It is pos
rlblo for such vast sums of capital to bo
employed with profit.
Now, It matters very little whether or
not wo like these new conditions, tho
creation of these new opportunities.
Many admlrnblo qualities which were de
veloped In tho older, simpler, less pro
gressive life have to some degree ntro
. phlcd under tho conditions of our rather
feverish, high-pressure, complex und
specialized life of today, Hut our likes
and dislikes havo very little to do with tho
matter. Tho new conditions are here.
They havo produced both good and evil.
Wo cannot got rid of them oven If it
wero not undesirable to get rid of them,
and our Instant duty Is to try to accom
modate our social, economic mid legisla
tive life to them, and to framo a system
of law and conduct under which wo shall
get out of them tho utmost posslblo bene
fit and tho least amount of harm. It Is
foolish to pride ourselves on our mar
velous progress and prosperity, upon our
commanding position in tho international
world, nnd nt the same time havo noth
ing hut denunciation for the men to
whoso commanding business ability wo
In part nwo this very progress ami pros
perity, this commanding position.
To Control n. New Evil.
Whenover great social or Industrial
changes take place, no matter how much
good there may he to them, there Is sura
to bo some evil, nnd It usually tnkes man
kind a number of years and a good deal
of experimenting before they tlnd tho
right ways In which, so far as possible,
to control tho now evil without at the
Hfltno tlmo nullifying tho new good, in
theso circumstances, tho effort to bring
(he new tendencies to a standstill Is al
ways futllo and generally mischievous,
hut It Is possible somewhat to develop
them aright.
Law can to n degree guide, protect, nnd
control Industrial development, but It can
never cause It or play more than a subor
dinate part In Its healthy development.
Unfortunately, it Is easy enough by bad
laws to bring it to an almost complete
Hop.
The homely slmilo of what can bo dona
with a greut rlvor Is far from inaccurate.
Tho Lower Mississippi fertilizes a great
country and also at times ravages It by
floods. To attempt to dum It in order to
, Mop these Hoods would bo futile, and
overt If not futllo would be harmful. Hut
,f It Is entirely feasible to build a system of
levees by which these llooiis shall be
largely controlled. The levees tuke time
and trouble to muke and to keep In order,
4iul they do not by any means avert all
mischief.
Vet they do accomplish much good, nnd
Ihey offer the only method of accomplish.
Ing uny good. Tho only way In which
, to build them or to exercise control over
the current Is by thoroughly examining
Into the facts In the first place, and In
1
the second p1ntlJey proceeding In a
spirit of eomblneiif 'jilty and resolution:
avoiding above alllldngs every form of
hysteria, panic and blind rage, nnd not
expecting the Impossible either In time or
accomplishment. Incidentally, It s also
necessary to beware of the type of ex
cellent person who Indsts thnl Moods do
good and not harm, and that, In any
event, the effort to control them will
doubtless somewhat Interfere with water
supply and damage the Mississippi river.
In dealing with the big corporations,
wo Intend to proceed not by revolution,
but by evolution. We wish to face the
facts, declining to have our vision blinded
either by the folly of those who say
there nre no evils, or by the more dan
generous folly of those who either see, or
mak'o believe they sec, nothing but evil In
nil tho existing system, and who. If given
their way, would destroy the evil by the
simple process of bringing ruin and dis
aster to the entire country.
Evils of Overcapitnlization.
The evils attendant upon overcapitaliza
tion alone, are. In my Judgment, suffi
cient to warrant a far closer supervision
and control than now exists over tho
great corporations. Wherever a substan
tial monopoly can bo shown tn exist, wo
should certainly try our utmost to devise
nn expedient by which It con he con
trolled. Doubtless some, of the evils ex
isting In, or because of, the great cor
porations cannot be cured by nny legisla
tion which has yet been, proposed, and
doubtless others, which have really been
incident to the sudden development In tho
formation of corporations of all kinds,
will, In the end, cure themselves. Hut
others will remain that can bo cured If
wo only set about curing them with san
ity. Tho surest way to prevent tho possi
bility of curing any of the evils Is to ap
proach the subject in a spirit of violent
rancor, complicated with total Ignorance
of business conditions, and of fundamen
tal incapacity or unwillingness to under
stand tho limitations on the power or all
law-making bodies. No problem, and,
least of all, so dlfllcult a problem as this,
can be solved If the qualities brought to
Its solution arc panic, fear, envy, hatred
and Ignorance. And there can exist In n.
free republic no man more wicked, no
man morn dangerous to the people, than
he who would arouse these feelings in the.
hope that they may redound to his own
political advantage.
A Business Evolution.
Corporations that are handled honestly
and fairly, so far from being an evil, arc
a natural business evolution, and make
for tho general prosperity of our land.
Wo do not wish to destroy corporations.
We wish trt,mako t'.'em subserve the pub
lic good. All Individuals, rich or poor,
private or corporate, must be subject to
the law of tho land, and the government
will hold them to a rigid obedience there
to. Tho biggest corporation, like the
humblest private citizen, must bo held to
strict compliance with the will of the
people as expressed In the fundamental
lav.
Tho rich man who does not see that
this is in bis Interest Is, Indeed, short
sighted. When we make him obey tho
law wo Insure Jor him tho absolute pro
tection of the law. Tho savings banks
show what can be done. In tho way of
genuinely hciicflccrt work by large cor
porations when Intelligently administered
nnd supervised. They now hold over ?2,
C0O.O00.O0O of tho people's money, and pay
annually nbout ?100,000,000 of Interest or
protlt to their depositors. There Is no
talk of danger from these corporations;
yet they possess great power, holding
over three times tho amount of our na
tional debt, more than all the currency
gold, silver, greenbacks, etc. In circu
lation in tho United Slates. Tho chief
reason of there being no talk of danger
from them Is that they are, on the whole,
faithfully administered for the beneflt of
nil, under wlso laws, which roqulro fre
quent and full publication of their con
dition, nnd which prescribe certain need
ful regulations with which they have to
comply, while nt tho same tlmo giving
full scopo for the best enterprise of their
managers within these limits.
"Now, of course, savings bnnks are ns
highly specialized a class of corporations
as railways, and we cannot force too far
tho analogy with other corporations; but
there are certain conditions which 1
thinlc wo can lay down as indispensable
to tho proper treatment of all corpora
tions which from their slzo have become
Important factors In the social develop
ment of tho community.
The Wrong Procedure.
Before speaking, however, of what can
bo dono by way of remedy, let mo say a
word or two as to certain proposed rem
edies which In my judgment would bo In
effective or mischievous. Tho llrst thing
to remember Is that If wo are to accom
plish any good nt all It must bo by reso.
lately keeping In mind the intention to
do away with any evils In the conduct of
big corporations, while steadfastly refus
ing to assent to indiscriminate assault
upon all forms of corporate capital an
such. Tho line of demorkatlou wo draw
must always bo on conduct, not on
wealth; our objection to any given cor
poration must be, not that It la big, but
that It behaves badly,
DonuiBOglo denunciations of wealth is
never wholesome, and generally danger
ous; and not a few of tho proposed
methods of curbing the trusts tiro dan
gerous chiefly because all Inslncero advo
cacy of tho Impossible Is dangerous. It
Is an unhealthy thing for a community
when ttho appeal Is made to follow a
course which those who make the appeal
either do nq,t or ought to know cannot bo
followed; and which If followed would
it'Hult In disaster to cverybudy, Loose'
talk about destroying monopoly out of
hand, without a hint ns to how tho num.
opoly should oven bo defined, offers a
case In point. Nor can wo afford to tol
erato any proposal which will strlko at
tho general well being. We are now en
joying a period of great prosperity, Thin
prospeilty Is generally diffused through
all sections and through all classes,
Doubtless there nre somn individuals who
do not get enough of It, and there me
others who set too much.
By this Is blmply (mother way of say
Ing that the wisdom of mankind is Unite,
that oven the bust human system cannot
work perfectly. Tho nren who propose
to get fid of tho evils of tho trusts by
measures which will da uwuy with this
general well being advocate a policy
which would not only bo a damage to tho
community as a whole, but which would
defeat. Its own professed object. If wo
nre forced to tho alternative of choosing
a system under which most of us prosper
somewhat, thmis.ii a few of us prosper
too much, or else a system under which
no one prospers enough, why of course
wo will choose the former. If tho policy
advocated Is so revolutionary and de
structive ns to Involve the wholo com
munity In tho crash of common disaster,
It (i a certain ns anything can be that
when tho disaster hits occurred nil efforts
to .regulate tho trusts wilt cease nnd
that the one nlm will bo to restore pros
perity. The Trusts Defined.
A remedy much ndvocnted at the mo
ment is to take "If tho tnrlff from nil
articles which are mndo by trusts. To do
tills, It will bo necessnry llrst tn dellno
trusts. The language commonly' used by
the ndvocatcs of tho method Implies Hint
they mean all articles made by large cor
porations, nnd that the changes In tariff
are to be made with punitive Intent to
ward theso large corporations. 01 course,
If the tariff Is to be changed, In order to
punish them, It should be changed so ns
to punish those that do III, not merely
those that are prosperous. It would bo
neither Just nor expedient to punish the
big corpol aliens as big corporations;
what we wish to do Is to protect tho
people from nny evil that mny grow out
of their existence or mnladmlnlstrntlon.
Some of theso corporations do well and
others do III,
If In any case the tariff Is found to

PRESIDENT IN DETROIT.
For the Second Time in Its History
the City of Straits Entertains the
Chief Executive of the Nation.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 21. For the sec
ond time In its history, the city of the
straits is entertaining the chief execu
tive of the nation. President Theodore
Itoosevelt ornived in the city nt 8
o'clock this morning over the Michigan
Central railway. He found Detroit
awaiting his arrival In gala uttlre.
Flags were Hying from every stuff in
the downtown section and the city was
bright with bunting. Pictures of Presi
dent Roosevelt greeted the eyo at every
turn. Throughout the day the president
was greeted with tumultuous cheers at
his every appearance.
Crowds lined the streets about the
Hotel Cadillac, anxious for a glimpse
at the chief magistrate nnd his ap
pearance was always the signal for an
enthusiastic outburst of cheers. The
weather was all that could be desired.
A little cloudy during the morning, it
cleared by noon and this afternoon was
bright nnd warm, with a pleasant breeze
stirring the air and fluttering hundreds
of flags.
It was a restful-day for the president,
although his time was completely occu-:
pled by the programme mapped out for
him by the local arrangements com
mittee. Immediately on his arrival, he was
driven to tue Hotel Cadillac, where he
occupied corner rooms on the parlor
floor, which were especially decorated
in his honoc At 10.30 o'clock lie at
tended scrvIees'aV'the Fort Street Pres
byterian church, driving from there to
General R. A. Alger's residence, where
he was entertained ht luncheon.
He returned to the Cadillac soon after
3 o'clock, only to leave again In a short
tlmo for a drive nbout the city. During
the drive, ho called at St. Mary's hos
pital, where Thomas K. Doherty, a local
veteran of the Spanish war, is dying of
consumption. Doherty had expressed a
wish to see the president. Doherty is
unable to sit up, and the president re
mained at his bedside for some min
utes, chatting with him and expressing
words of cheer nnd hope.
The chief executive occupied a car
riage belonging to the police depart
ment on his afternoon drive. Captain
Guyman, In police uniform, had the
reins, and as tho president stepped in,
he remarked laughingly, "Captain, this
looks as though you were going to lock
me up."
Washington avenue was crowded
with people and the air rang with
cheers as the horses started up tho
avenue at a sharp trot. Tho presi
dent's party drove out Woodward ave
nue four miles to the boulevard which
encircles the city. This was followed
to its Intersection with Jefferson ave
nue at the approach to Hello Isle bridge.
The Intention had been to drive back
by way of Jefferson avenue, but here
the crowds on the watch for the presi
dent's coming wero so groat as to ser
iously impede the progress of the party
and tho carriages wero turned into
more secluded streets.
Two little girls had a narrow escape
from being trampled upon by tho
horses attached to the president's car
riage. They had darted out suddenly
from the curb almost under the horses'
feet. Captain Guyman was compelled
to throw the animals back on their
haunches to keep them off the e;lilldren,
The occupants of the president's car
riage wero brought to their feet in
trembling anticipation of a tragedy,
and it was only by a hair's breadth
that the little ones escaped. Then the
route was changed to less congested
street. President Itoosovelt had sug
gested a change us soon us ho saw the
crowded condition of Jefferson avenue,
and the party had proceeded only nbout
two blocks when tho narrow escape of
tho two little girls proved that his
fears were well grounded,
Mayor Maybury and Socrotnry Cor
telyou rodo with the president, and a
secret service man sat on the box with
Police Captain Guyman,
Tho party drove from 3.30 until S.3Q
o'clock. Tonight the president dined In

MURDERER MAY HAVE
COMMITTED SUICIDE
Captain Titus Inclined to Believe
That Finding All Avenues of Es
cape Closed, the Alleged Slayer of
Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer Has Made
Away with Himself Story of the
Stranger in the Boarding House A
Man Answering Young's Descrip
tion Is Arrested.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Now York, Sept. 21. The search for
William Hooper Young, the man wanted
for the murder of Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer,
whoso mutlluted body was found float
ing in the abandoned Morris canal, near
Jersey City, Thursday morning last, has
up to tonight been unavailing. Tho
police forces of this and the surround
ing boroughs have been bending ull en
ergies and running down all clues
which come to them to locate Young.
Tho chief development of the day
came from Brooklyn and it leads the
police to believe that the fugitive has
escaped to the vicinity of Canarsic, L.
I. Captain Titus, of the detective
bureau, is Inclined to believe that
Young, finding all avenues of llnal es
cape shut off, has fled to this spot on
the Long Island coast to commit sui
cide. The captain ordered a special
force of detectives to Canarsle to con
duct a thorough search of the neighbor
hood. Tho story of this clue is that late
Saturday night a man, supposed to
have been Young, was seen in a lodging
house in Brooklyn. When he applied
'for a room he was told there was none
vacant, and he was forced to bo satis
fied with a chair. Soon afterwards he
became nervous and arose to his feet.
Some of those In the room arose simul
taneously. Then tiio stranger dashed
down the tjaek stairs of the hotel to the
yard, with some of tho lodgers after
him. Vaulting the back fence, closely
pursued, tho fugitive fled up the street.
The pursuers gaining upon him, tho
stranger halted, drew a revolver and
brought the lodgers to a stand. Turn
ing again, ho caught sight of a Nost
r.ind avenue car bound for Fulton
street nnd raced for it. Before tho
lodgers came up, the car with the fugit
ive on board was blocks away.
The above story was told Captain
Titus early today, and this evening ho
received a corroboration of It. This
was, that at 3.30 o'clock in tho morning
a man resembling Young had been seen
In Canarsle. Captain Titus' informant
told him that the man seemed all worn
out; that he looke'd fatigued and almost
exhausted. The captain added that
Police Captain Short4 of Canarsle, and
all his force were scouring the country
thereabouts for the man. The captain
said, however, that ho feared they
would succeed only, in case the man
was really Young, In finding his dead
body, as he is of the impression Young
would commit suicide.
Derby, Conn., Sept. 21. A man who
tallies exactly with tho description of
Hooper Young, who is wanted by the
New York police for the murder. of Mrs.
Annie Pulitzer, was arrested by the
local police tonight. The man is held
here awaiting instructions from Cap
tain Titus.

shot and seriously wounded Miss Leo
rena Winnebrenner, aged 17 years, near
her home in Connemaugh, near this
city', last night, and then sent a bullet
into his own heart, dying instantly.
Jealousy and a desire for revenge are
given as the cause for the act.
Miss Winnebrenner, accompanied by
a friend named Edward Kaylor, were
walking leisurely along a street. Gough
nor passed them, evidently In a hurry.
When a few feet ahead, he suddenly

nor llred two shots at him. After emp
tying the revolver, Goughnor reloaded
It, and, jjlaclng the muzzle against his
breast, fired, killing himself almost In
stantly. At the Memorial hospital tonight, it
was said that, while Miss Wlnnebren

P. J. Henness.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Keokuk, In., Sept, 21. The case of
Hev. P. J. Henness before the Iowa
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, came very dramatically to an
end early today. After tho trial com
mittee, appointed by Bishop Hamilton,
and composed of thirteen prominent di
vines, had been in session far Into the
night, Mr. Henness himself took tho
stand.
He said It wns evident to himself and
to his attorneys that he was not to
have a fair trial, and handed tho parch
ments of his ordination to the com
mittee, following with his resignation
from membership in the church as well
as from the ministry. Turning to his
wife, who was present, the self-unfrocked
minister exclaimed:
j'Woman, behold the wreck of a man
you have made." His wife broke down
nt this dramatic exhibition. Tho com
mittee for the triul of Mr. Henness
Immediately closed its session, having
lost Its jurisdiction of tho case by his
action In placing himself outside the
pale of the church,
Mr. Henness, after maintaining si
lence stubbornly for a year, said today
that the reason he left his wife was
because of her continual "nagging,"
which broke down his health and ren
dered It Impossible for him to do the
Lord's work. The charge against him
was the separation from his wife,
whom he agreed to support, but refused
to live with. No' question of immoral
ity was involved, the claims of tho
prosecution being that Mr. Henness'
conduct was unclorlcal, nnd that a
minister so separated from his wife
should not be sent out as pastor over a
ehifrch by the bishop. Mr. Henness
will go to North Dakota to engage In
tho mining business. His friends say
that a movement will be started from
his case to have the general quadren
nial conference of the Methodist church
take action against one of the oldest
and most prominent bishops, who also
separnted from his wife under similar
conditions.
