LORD AND LADY DECIES
TO WHOM CHILD IS BORN
GOVERNOR WELCOMES NATION'S
BETTER HALVES. BIT SAYS
NOTHING OF SUFFRAGE.
DISCUSSES REFORM LIS
TurnR to Third Party and Terms It an
Expression of Discontent With
Established Organizations,
With Republicans Its
Chief Target.
SEAGIRT, J,, Aug. 17. OoT«rnor
Wood row Wilson, at the New Jersey Dif
ielebrntion today, welcomed (lie women of
the Nation Into the "field of politics."
Not a word did the Governor sny about
woman suffrage, but ;ts lie stood .before
hundreds of women who gathered to or-
ganize the Woman's Wilson and Marshall
Loggue of New Jersey, the Governor point-
ed out that the entry, of the women into
polities would make the country's polities
"the name pattern with our life," a thing
"devoutly to b» wished."
It was a brief Impromptu speech dtlir-
ered at the close of the New Jersey Day
celebration, which attracted thousands ot
Democrats from all parts of tl# Stats
and many from other States who are vis-
iting the seashore.
The Governor, io his main speech at
noon, apropos of the celebration, dt»-
cussed the reform laws of the State, bnt
digressed once Into a reference to the
third party, which he elaborated In a
statement Issued tonight. What the Gov-
ernor said in his speech was:
"I suppose you know the foroe that la
behind the new party that recently has
been formed, the so-called Progressive
party, it Is a force of discontent wltb
the regular parties of the United States.
It is the feeling that men have gone into
blind alleys and come out often enough
and that they propose to tind an open
road for themselves."
DEMOCRACY PROGRESSIVE.
In lila statement explaining that refer-
em e the' Governor said tonight that the
independent and progressive forces of the
country had utterly failed to get contrdl
of the Republican party, hot had abso-
lutely proved their ascendancy and their
entire control within tha Democratic
party; that the people had found that
they could mase use of tho Democrat!'?
party as a proper medium for their pur-
pose?.
Of particular significance in the Gov-
ernor's first speech was his warnings to
the people that the eame bosses over-
thrown two years ago were planning to
restore "Ihe old order of things in New
Jersey" Immediately upon his exit from
office.
To the women lo hiy second speech the
Governor recommended participation In
politics, because he paid they were "in con-
tact with the high cost of living and the
•pocketbook."
"When the last word is said about pol-
itics," said Governor Wilson, "it is mere-
ly the life of all of us, from the point of
view of what can be accomplished by leg-
islation and the administration of public
office. I think it is artificial to divide
life up Into sections; it is all of one piece,
though you cannot attend to all pieces of
It at once. And so, when women, who In
so maoy respects arc the heart of life, be-
gin to take an Interest in politics, then you
know that all the lines of sympathy and
intelligence and comprehension are going
to be interlaced before, so that our politics
will be of the same pattern with onr life.
This, it seems to me, Is devoutly to be
wished.
COST OF LIVING.
"Nobody certainly is more directly in
contact with the cost of living than the
women are. And when it comcs to the
immediate contact of the pocketbook with
life the women know where the sensitive
nerve Is, because they do the purchasing,
they do the slumping, they do the careful
planning which is necessary in these days
of tremendous cost, to adjust our incomes
to our lives. liocausa when we'eome down
to the bottom the fundamental thine we
lire Interested In Is the way we are going
to live.
"It Is not a mem matter of satisfying
our stomachs, it is a matter of attaining
a certain position of respectability among
cur neighbors and our income does have a
great deal to do when It Is compared with
the cost of Hying with our happiness,
and therefore, economic questions, ques-
tions of tariff, questions of everything
that enters Into the cost of living are
questions which women ought to compre-
hend.
"And so when the women come into pol-
itics they couie iu to show us all those
little contacts between life and politics on
account of which I, for myself, rejoice
that they have come to our assistance;
they will be as indispensable and they are
delightful."

officers of "the league also addressed the

APPEAL COMES FROM TOM]ML
MINE, SINAI,OA, AND HAS
BEEN DELAYED.
Special Telegram to Ttie Express.
Eli PASO, Tex.I Aug. 17. An appeal
from Americans at Tominil mine, Slna-
loa, on the Durango. border, for American
protection, delayed several days, arrived
here today. The appeal is signed J. B.
Underwood, manager of the Tominil
(Mexican) Mining Company, and says:
"I have been trying since July 30 to
send the enclosed telegram to Governor
0. B. Colquitt of Austin, but have been
unable to do f,o, because the people In
charge of the telegraph lines refused to
pass it.
"First they said that there was no tel-
egraph line to Austin, mid today they
say that the Governor has no code, and
refuse to receive it
"Please give this all the publicity
possible, as we are afraid to move with-
out an escort, being threatened with
death by dynamite if wo move from
here. We have acceded to all kinds of
unreasonable demands to pacify the peo-
ple until help arrived, but eleven days
rave passed since the riot and we are
still at the tuercy of the mob,"
The telegram to Governor Colquitt, a
copy of which is enclosed, says:
"We were assaulted by guns and dyna.-
rnite bombs and maltreated and robbed
by workmen, assisted by government
troops, supposed to be for protection for
us. It is an antiforelgn rising, pure and
simple.
"Help is urgently needed to provide
safe conduct to the coast.
"The Mazatlan consul was advised and
replied that help would be sent, but since
wo have been advised by the Hlnaloa
military chief that he cannot send any
protection.
"Please move In the matter energeti-
cally, as we are at the mercy of a mob
of bandits. The mine Is situated eighty
miles from the coast.
"J. B. Underwood, E. E. Underwood,
F. A. Mallns, Dr. Miller."

| Roosevelt, in Action, Invites Questions
From All Comers and Answers
Each in Turn, According to
His Traditional Standard
of liluntness.
BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 17.—The Pro-
gressive campaign was opened today by
ex-President Roosevelt with scenes de-
parting from those generally associated
with a political rally. Some of those
who took part in it compared It to a
huge revival campmeetltig.
yupportera of the new party gathered
In throngs, sanK songs and cheered.
Colonel Roosevelt made four speeches.
e mixed politics and morals, now ex-
horting hearers to set up a high stand-
rd In public and private lll'e, again
speaking bluntly of his conception of the
T cal procedure anil criticising his
opponents sharply. At each meeting tha
crowd sang the battle hymn of the new
party, "Onward, Christian Soldiers." lu
one of his speeches Colonel Roosevelt
referred to President Tait an a "dead
I issue."
[ The ex-President motored from Provi-
[ dence, R. 1,, where he spoke last night.
He discussed the New England cam-
paign with the Progressive leaders, then
| went by automobile to Revere Beach,
where he made his speech. After a long
address to the Assumption Society, he
returned to Revere Beach for the Mas-
| sachusetts Progressive banquet, at which
he made his third speech. On his return
to Boston he addressed a crowd on tin
Commons, later takiiis a train for New
York. Tito Colonel came to Massachu-
setts expecting to make only one speech.
SPEAKS AT BKVEHK BEACH.
At Revere Beach and on the commons
there were thousands of persons who
I waved red bandannas. At Revere Beach
the Coli gave a special wave of his
hand to the Roosevelt Club from Bev-
erly, Mass, President Taft's former
home which carried a banner Inscribed:
"We love Beverly, but, oh, you Oyster
Bay."
In Ills main speech of the day Colonel
Roosevelt crltP iaed Governor Wilson's
remarks about the Democratic and Pro-
gressive platforms arid defended the re-
call of Judicial decisions.
"Tell us about Taft," shouted a man
In the crowd.
"I never discuss dead Issues!" Colonel
Roosevelt shouted back.
In speaking of the moral issue Involved
in the new party he said: "Our whole
movement is based on the theory that
no political life Is worth living If it Is
not based on the ten commandments arid
the golden rule."
Colonel Roosevelt had his hands full
when he arrived at the Commons. The
throng was so great that only a portion
of It could get within earshot.
Scattered through the crowd were men
who Interrupted him constanly with ques-
tions and raised such a clamor that for
a time the Colonel was forced to stop
speaking. A police officer asked whether
he wished to have the men ejected, but
the Colonel said he would handle the
crowd. It took half an hour to bring
quiet, but in the end the Colonel came
off victorious and finished his speech. He
made a vigorous defense of George VV.
Perkins of New York and William Flinn
of Pittsburg, two of his leaders.
OPEN TO QUESTIONS.
At the outset Colonel Roosevelt an-
nounced that he would answer any ques-
tion that anybody asked and that, nobody
could embarrass him for a minute.
"How about Perkins?" a man called out.
"I am delighted to tell you about Mr,
Perkins," the Colonel replied. "I'll satis-
fy everybody's thirst for Information.
"Mr. Perkins Is a rich man. He came
Into this movement not at my request,
but ot his own initiative. I felt Just the
same curiosity that that man in Uhe
crowd who asued me about him felt. I
said to him: 'Mr. Perkins, why are you
supporting we'I' Mr. Perkins flushed and
said he dill not know but that h<> ought to
be offended, but I told hi iu he should not
be and that I was both surprised and
pleased to have his support.
" 'The prime reason why I am with you,'
he told uie, 'is because I have children. I
have come to the conclusion that this
country won't he a good place for my chil-
dren unless the relations between capital
and labor are on a better basis. I wish to
support any movement which will bring
that about. So far as 1 can see,' Mr
Perkins told me, 'you are the only public
man who, lu good faith, !s supportiug
those views.'
. FLINN HAS SAME EXCUSE,
"I have told you literally what Mr. Per-
kins said. Curiously enough, it was al-
most exactly what Mr. Fllun said to me
later.
"I said to Mr. Perkins: 'You are In the
steel industry, Before you support me I
wish you to understand that I intend to
work for regulation "f the big Industrial
Concerns, Including the steel industry.'
".Mr Perkins said that that was all right
arid that he believed lu It."
"Hew about Wilson?" was another ques-
tion.
Here Is Colonel Roosevelt's answer:
"If you thins you can get anything good
out of the old machine ridden Democratic
party, then 1 admire your optimism, but
I pity your Judgment."
In response lo a query about socialism,
Colonel Roosevelt said:
u our platform we have grappled with
certain of (lie evils which Ihe Socialists
have sought to grapple with. The dif-
ference Is that we grappled with them In
uu efficient way and the Socialists are
chasing will o' wisps,'

BILL RECENTLY VETOED PASSES

IS
T
MEASURE GOES THROUGH AS
AGREED UPON BY JOINT
CONFEREES.
W ASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 17.-The
legislative, executive and Judicial appro-
priation bill, vetoed by President Taft
because It contained a seven-year tenure
for the civil service and provided for
abolishing the Commerce Court, was
passed by the House again today. It
now goes to the Senate again.
The only change the Appropriations
Committee made In the bill after It came
back from the White House was to drop
out the civil service restriction.
Before the Senale acts on the measure
it will go through the hands of Its Ap-
propriations Committee. Many members
of the committee stated today they fa-
vored leaving out both of the sections to
which the President had objected. While
the Senate undoubtedly would approve a
bill to abolish the Commerce Court, many
Republican and Democratic leaders favor
leaving the legislation out of the appro-
priation bill.
Should the bill as passed by the House
today go through the Senate without
change, It is believed the President again
will veto it arid force upon Congress the
alternative of acceding to his wishes or
facing a deadlock with the I louse, which
would greatly prolong the session. Demo-
cratic House leaders believe tlpi bill con-
taining tho abolishment of the Commerce
Court, if vetoed by the President, could
be repassed by a two-thirds vote there,
but It probably would fall ot such repass-
age in the Henate.

Senator Lodge Proves
Leorge Washington
Used "Cuss" Word
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.-George
Washington actually swore. It must be
true, because Senator Lodge told the Sen-
ate so in the course of a little lesson
in American history today and produced
the document to prove it.
Senator I.odge was discussing a propo-
sition by Senator Newlands to send a
committee to the President to confer on
the tariff. Precedents had been cited.
"Yes," Senator Lodge said, "president
Washington once did visit the Senate
to confer &bout a rending Indian treaty.
But discussion on the floor was hardly
satisfactory to lilm. John Qulncy Adarns
In his diary says:
" 'As the President left the Senate
chamber he said: "I'll be d If I will
ever go there again," and he never did.' "
Senator Lodge produced the Adams
diary to prove the Incident.
Smooth Face Is Sign
of Decency Says Man
in Divorce Answer
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 17.-The
smooth face is a sign of decency and
cleanliness, according to Frederick TToel-
zer, who today filed an aswer to the di-
vorce complaint of Mrs. Hoelzer, in which
she charged ho shaved off his beard
when they moved to the city, sixteen
years ago, and adopted other giddy ways
of the city.
Hoelzer says .lie found city people were
apt lo ridiculfi a man with whiakers, and
that because he tried to appear like other
men did not mean he was seeking tho
society of other women, as his wife al-
leges.
He alleges his wife is seeking the own-
ership of an eighty-acre farm by bring-
ing the suit.
WASHINGTON, I'. C., Aug. 17.-The
Panama Canal bill, as agreed upon by
conferees of the Senate and House, was
passed by the House again this evening
by a vive voce vote. As passed, the bill,
which provides for the government and
administration of the canal, contains pro-
visions fur tho passage of American
coastwise vessels through the canal free
of tolls and the admittance of ship-
building material to the canal zone froe
of duty. The bill already has pasned the
Senate and now goes to the President for
his signature.
A special rule prohibiting points of or-
der against tho measure prevented Rep-
resentatives Moore and Ulinsted of Penn-
sylvania, Republicans, from renewing
their attack on the provision for the free
admission of ship materials. As a result
there was littlo opposition.
Mr. Moore was taken severely to task
by Representative Alexander, chairman
of the Merchant Marine (,ommltte<\ for
his allegations that tho tree admission
clause would injure American shipyards
anil work a hardship on labor.
Mr Alexander held that with free ma-
terial, shipping would be greatly bene-
fited. He defi nded th® admission of for-
eign built, shi;to American registry on
the ground thai American shipyards were
not building vessi Is for tho foreign trade
The exclusion of railroad or trust-owned
ships from using the canal, in the opin-
ion of Representative Sims of Tennessee,
was worth all the labor and time taken
to mold the bill.

Wept So That Congestion
Prevails for More Than
Two Hours.
LOS ANGKLES, Cal , Aug. 17. Clarence
S. Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, who was
found not guilty today on the charge
of ha»lng bribed a prospective Juror lu
the McNamara rase. muHt stand triel on
a second indictment, according to an-
nouncement by District Attorney Freder-
icks immediately after the acquittal.
Darrow aparontly w-as unconcerned over
the statement of the prosecutor. He
was delnged with telegrams from all parts
of the country, which began pouring in
within an hour after the verdict had been
| given.
The courtroom scene after the reading
of the verdict, thirty-four minutes after
the Jury had retired, was one that has
had no parallel In this city. Jurors em-
braced the acquitted man and with teari
streaming down their cheeks declared It
was the happiest day of their lives. Court
officials, including Judge Hutton and the
half dozen balllffe. Joined in the con-
gratulations, and Mrs. Darrow, to whom
the trial wan a continuous nervous strain,
stood speechlessly happy with one hand
in her husband's and the other wringlug
those of the jurors.
For two hours the courtroom was prac-
tically unchanged except for the group-
ing about the erstwhile defendant and his
| wile. A half dozen of the jurors, for-
getting th»lr long weeks away from home,
remained throughout to participate in the
impromptu reception. ,
PATHWAY BLOCKED.
Stopped at every step by pedestrians
who wanted to shako hands with him, It
required uearly half an hour for Mr. Dar-
row to make his way two blocks to a
cafe, where be nud a small group of friends
went for luncheon.
"The jury was virtually npanlmous when
it left the box," Chief Counsel Rogers
said. "The jurors themselves say that
only one vital ballot was taken, although
it was preceded by two others, cast as
feelers."
Mr. Darrow's attorneys expressed In-
credulity when Informed that there would
be a trial ou the Juror Bain indictment.
They asserted that all of the evidence In
the Rain case had been submitted in the
trial Just ended. Two o'clock next Mon-
day has been flx#»d as the time for the
trial on the second Indictment.
