Forged Tax Receipts Large Ship ments of Cattle Mr. Schwab Take) a Rest Judge Russell Resigns Carl Thrown Into the Lake Mr. Fair'i Will Politician Arrested. The naval search problem on the New England roast ended at 6:40 in. Sunday by the signal "surrender, demand unconditional," from Rear Ad miral Higginson's flagship and the re ply "accept surrender" from the fore truck of Iho Prairie, Commandtr Pills hury's flagship. The battle between the Blue or de fending squadron and the White oi attacking squadron was thus quickly ended eight miles south of Thatcher! Island. Tho tnemy had most signally failed to make a harbor, having for its ob jective Salem. A preponderance ol fighting Mrength, relatively 64 pointl ropre-e nted by the battleships Kear snrre, Alabama and Massachusetts. Scorpion and a toip;do boat, had over whelmed tho 4," points represented lij the auxiliary cruisers Prairie, I'atithei and Supply. To speak from a theoretic stand point tho White squadron was entirely destroyed by the guns of the defending battleships. Thus on tho fourth nlghl the game of naval strutgy waj brought to an end, It having coy ercd a period of unceasing toll, sleep less nights of anxious and wearing vigil and of grava uncertainty to It! participant. The destruction of Plllshury's squad ron occurred at a point Just within Iho outer limit of Gloucester harbor, net over eight miles southerly from Thatchers Islnnrt off which had been anchored since Wednesday, when the war game was declared opened, the three powerful battleships of the Blue squadron. Forged Tax Receipts. A (urged receipt for taxes amount ing to -U,770.17, assessed against the Chirago Masouic Temple prop e.ty last year, was offered Thura day to Tieasuior Raymond as evi dence that the taxes had been paid. The rauuuient document was pre seuted alter a week's effort on the part of the ci.uty treasurer to secure an explanation of how certain fraudu lent entries had come to be made ou the tax bcxiks to the benefit of tho Masonic Temple property. The circumstance:) surrounding the Temple case, It Is believed, will serve to break up and secure the punishment of a gang of men alleged to have been engaged in taxflxing operations on a largo scale. The Masonic Temple ease is said by Treasurer Raymond to be but one of muny in which, for a consideration, a certain former county and south town employe agreed to fix taxes fur largo payers. It Is thought, however, that in a malorlty of cases the owners who conspirul to avoid tax payment have been the losers instead of the county. As to the identity of the clerk In the troa urer's office who tampered with the books at the Instance of tho go-between, the treasurer and his chief clerk are as yet in the dnrk, but it la thought that the developments of tho nrxt few days will attach the guilt to the right person. Large Shipments of Cattle. Weather conditions have not been altogether favorable to corn at north or cotton at the south, but decadence In crop prospects is still largely a mat ter of trade sentiment, reflecting some reaction from earlier buoyant agricult ural prospect?. Harvesting, except of corn and cot ton, has been completed except In the more northerly sections and results In these latter respects are more or less secure. The high prices of cattle, sheep, hogs and produce are tempting and Inducing largo shipments which ifera destined to cause a natural downward drift In prices. With lower prices a natural expansion In our export business seems ,casonable to expect and corn espec ially will probably regain ome of the ground It lost In foreign markets as a result of 1SIM drought.

Schwab, the president ol the I'nilod States Steel corporation made the following statement to Now York reporters: "Now, gentlemen, I am going to tell you three things and I don't want you to ask me any further que tions. In the first place, I don't look like a sick man. In the second place I feel the necessity of a rest and I am going to take one. In the third place I am not going to resign and have no Intention of retiring from the presidency of the United State! Steel corporation." "Are you going to Europe?" wa! asked.

PRESIDENT AT BOSTON Left Nahanr, Mass , Yesterdaj Afternoon. Taken to Boston by Special Train Spoke at Symphony Hall to Grea Gathering of Business Men Speed Devoted Entirely to Consideration o the Trust Question. Boston, Aug. 26. The week's worl for President Roosevelt in his trl through New England began in earn est yesterday afternoon when he de parted from the btautiful Btinime! home of the Junior senator of Massa chusetts, Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, a' jvanant, and amid the enthusiasm a the greatest number of people he bai faced tlnce the Pittsburg visit on Julj 4, rode Into Lynn under cavalry escort and spoke from a platform at City hall Then he was taken to Boston bj special train and on arrival went t( Symphony hall, there addressing I great gathering of Boston businesi men. His speech here was devoted al most entirely to consideration of tht trust question. From the hall the president went t Hotel Touralne where a little later Ir the evening he was the guest of Gov eror Crane at dinner. The president, in his speech at Sym phony hall, spoke In part as follows: I want to take up this evening th general question of our economic anr social relations v.ith specific reference to that problem with which I thint our people are greatly eoncerninf themselves t:he problem of our coin plex social condition as intensified by the existence of the great corporation! which we rather loosely designate ai trusts. But I wish to tay one or twe things as preliminary. In the first place I have not come here to Bay that I have discovered a patent cure-all foi tho trusts. Majority Can Be Trusted. We founded our republic on the theory that the average man will ai a rule do the right thing; that In tht long run the majority are going tc decide for what is sane and whole some. If our fathers were nilstakec in that theory; If ever events become such, not occasionally hut persistently that the mass of the people do what Is unwholesome, what Is wrong, ther tho republic can not stand. Back ol the law, back of the administration back of our system of government lies the average manhood of our peo pie. In tho long run we are going tc go up or go down according as the average stundard of our cltlzenshif does or does not wax in growth and grace. There ate very many and very diffl cult problems with which we are facet' as one of the results of the forcet which, taken all together, we speak ol as progrtss. It is worse than useless for any of us to rail at or regret the great growth In industrial civiliza tion of the last half century. Speaklnf academically we can according to oui several temperaments regard that the old lights have vanished or not as we choos?. Boston and the thriving cities of Massachusetts have been built tip as a result of those forces. There Is but little use in regrettlna that thing3 have not shaped themselvpf diffi reiitly. The practical thing to dc Is to face the conditions as they are and see If we can not get the best there Is In tticm out of them. We are not going to get any complete oi perfect solution for all of tho evili which come to our minds when we think of the trusts by any single action on our part. A good many actions In a good many different ways will be required before we get many of those evils even partially remedied. We have got to first of all think clearly we hove got to probably experiment somewhat. Wise to Recognize the Evils. It Is a little difficult to set clearly before us all of the evils, but I think that those gentlimen, and especially those gentlemen of large means, whr, deny that tho evils exist are acting with great folly. I am far from be lng against property when I ask that the question of trusts be taken up ( am acting In the most conservative snse In property's Interest. When a great corporation Is sued for violating the antitrust law It Is not a move against property; It Is s move In favor of property because when you can makn It evident thai all men, big and small, have to obey tiie law you are putting the safeguard of law around all men. It would be very difficult for any set of laws on our pari to deal compute!) with a problem which becomes inter national in Its bearings, but a great deal ran be done in various way! now. A great deal is being done and n great deal more can be done if w can see that the power Is put some where to do It. On the whole oui system of government has worked mar velously well. When this government was founded there were no great individual or cor porate fortunes), anil commerce and In dustry were being carried on very much as they had been from the days when Niuevah and liuhylon stooil In the Mi'sopotamian valley. The wagon train and the park train and the sail ing craft those were the methods ol commerce. Everything has been rev olutionized In the business world ever since and the progress of civilization from being a trickle has become a torient. There was no particular thing at that time to bother us as to whether lire nation or the stato had control ol the corporations. They were easy tc control. Now, however, the exact re verse is the case and remember I say "corporations," I do not say merely trusts, mciely combinations of corpor ations or corporations under certain peculiar conditions. Efforts to Avoid the Law. For Instance, some time ago the at torney general took action against a certain trust. There has been con siderable discussion as to whether the trust aimed at would not seek to gel out from under the law by becoming a single corporation. Now I want laws to enable us to deal with no mattei what shape it takes. I want to see the government able to get at it definitely, so that the action of the government can not be evaded by any turning within or without federal or state statutes. At present we have really no efll cient control over a big corporation which does business in more than one Etate. Frequently the corporation has nothing whatever to do with the state in which It is incorporated except to get Incoipoiated and Its actions may be taken In entirely different commu nities which may object very much to the methods of incorporation in the state named. I do not think you can get action by any state, action by all the states, that will give us satisfactory control ol trusts or big corporations and the re suit is at present that if we pass laws nobody can tell whether they will amount to anything. Now that has two bad effects. In the first place the cor poration becomes Indifferent; the law making body gets Into that most pernlcius custom of passing a law not with reference to what will be done under It but with reference to Its effect on the opinions of the voters. That is a bad thing. What I hope to see Is power given to the nutional legislature which shall make the control real. It would be an excellent thing If we could have all tho states act on somewhat similar linos so that it would be unnecessary for tho national government to act, but all of you know perfectly well tho states won't act on similar lines. National Control Necessary. If we can get adequate control by the nation of these corporations then we can pass legislation which will give us the power of regulation and supervision over thini. If the nation hail that power, mind you, I should advocate as strenuously as I know how that the power should he exor cised with extreme caution and sell restraint. No good will come from plunging in without having looked carefully aluad. The first thing we want is publicity. I want publicity as as to the essential facts in which the public has an interest. I want the knowledge given to the accredited representatives of the people of facts on which those representatives can, if thoy boo fit, base their actions. No suit will be undertaken for the sake of seeming to undertake it. Every suit that Is undertaken will he begun because that great lawyer and upright man whom we are so fortunate as to have as attorney gen eral, Mr. Knox, believes that there is a violation of law which he can get at, and when tho suit Is undertaken it won't be compromised excepting on the basis that the governmer.t wins. Of course, gentlemen, no laws amount to anything unless they are administered honestly and fearlessly. Theu I believe, I am not going to say I am sure of it, but I believe It Is pos sible to frame national legislation which shall give us more power thuu we have riw at any rate over cor porations doing an inter-state business. 1 con not guarantee that because in tho past it has more than once hap pened that we have got laws on tho statute books which those who made them Intended to mean one thing and when luey tame up for discussion It was found that the intention had not been suceesslully put Into effect. But I believe that additional legislation can be hud. And when tho power has been con ferred it will rest with the national government to exercise it. At present wo are going to do the best we can with strawless bricks, but remember they are bound to be strawless. Wiae (iws can do something and we are not to be excused if wo fail to Insist upu,i those wise laws. Must Have Honest Administration. Honest administration of the lavtj can do something moro, and still less are we to he excused as a a people if we condone or connive at a failure to ad minister the laws by the public ser vants of tho people. As those laws have been enacted, after they hae been enforced, It will remain true here in this country as It has boon true oi every country throughout history, that tho fundamental factor in each man's success In life must be that man's own rharaetpr, the total sum of the quali ties of truthfulness, earnestness, en ergy, thrill and business ability on his part. The state cannot do as much for you as you can do for It. I'mler no circumstances will it be possible by law to shape convictions so that each man shall succeed. If the man has not got In him the stuff out of which he can work success the state can not supply it. What can be done by the state, by the nation, is to make tho conditions such lhat eac h man shall ho able under tie b"sl circumstances, with everything most favorable to bun, to work out his fate for himself. If under those eiieiimsia: i s he fails, I am sorry for him. I will holy him as far as possible. I will lilt him yp 'f he stumbles l ut I won't try tu curry him. for that Is neither helping faiui Dor helping me (loud applause). POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Summary of the Week's News of the World.
