July In the first statement he has made since the pas- sage of the reciprocity bill by ~the senate, President Taft at the sunmer White House tonight freely acknow ledgzd that his long, hard campaigyp in o behalf of that measure would have proved unavailing if the democrats had not helped him. Without. such aid. the president declared reciprocity 1ld have been “impossible.” Democrats Did Not Play Politics. “The democrats did not ‘play poli- tics' in the colloquial sense in which those words are used,” said the presi- dent, “but they followed the dictate of & highar policy. Breakfasted With His Family. The president arrived at Parramat- ta, the new Taft cottage, shortly after 8§ o'clock this morning motoring out from Boston in just one hour. Mrs. Taft, Miss Helen Taft and Charlie, his youngest son, were waiting, and he had breakfast with his family for the ce he left Beverly for Yhe nt's Statement. The statement reads as follows: “That I am very much pleased with the passagz of the Canadian reciproci- ty bill through both houses of congress goes without saying. 1 believe and hope it will be followed by similar ac- tion by the Dominion parliament. In my judgment, the going into effect of the agreement will mark a new epoch, in the relagions between the United States and Canada, and It will tend to a marked increase in the trade betwesn the two countries which will be in every way beneficlal to beth. Wants Knox to Have Credit. hope the credit that belongs to Secretary Knox and his special assist- ants in the state department, in the negotiation and framing of the pact, and their lucid explanation and de fense of its terms, will not b2 with held. A Non-Partisan Measure. “In a_sense, the bill passed was a non-partisan measureé, though the re- publicans who voted for it probably did so on one economy theory and the democrats who voted for it for an- other. I should be wanting in straigh forward speaking, however, if I did n. freely acknowledge the credit #hat be- longs to the democratic majority in the house and the democratic minority in the senate for the consistent support of the measure in an earnest and sin- cere desire to eecure its passage. With- out this, reciprocity would have been impossible. Possible for Them to Embarrass Him. “It would not have been difficult for them to fasten upon the bill amend- ments affecting the tariff generally in such a way as to embarrass the exec- Lutive and to make it doubtful whether he could sign the bill, and yet to clai: popular approval for their support o reciprocity in its defeat. 1In other words, the democrats did not ‘pla politics’ in the colloquial sense in which those words are used, but they followed the dictates of a higher pol- icy. > Hope Test Will Disprove Prophecies. “We republicans who have earnestly~ sought reciprocity, and some of those whose voles were necessary to the pas- sage of the bill. may properly enjoy mutual felicitations on a work well done. To those who opposed the bill on the ground that it will do harm to the farmers, we can only say that we who have supported the passaze of the bill look forward to the test of the actual operation of the recinrocity agreement to disprove their prophecies and to allay their fears. “A Greater United State: Canada.” “The satisfaction that actual experi- ence in its working will give we con- fidently hope will secure its perma- nance. In a decade its benefits will contribute much to a greater United States and a greater Canada.” | S S a Greater FOUGHT 21 ROUNDS WITH BARE KNUCKLES Danbury Pugilists Give Brutal Exhibi- tion Over State Line. Daabury, Conn., July 23.—One of the most brutal prizefights in this sec- tion took place between 6 and 7 o'clock this morning at Sodom reservolr, coutheast New York, when two Dan- bury fighters, Dekin and Regan, fought 21 rounds with bare knuckles before | an audience of 100 sporting men from this city. At the close of the fight Dekin was so badly shattered that for a time it was thought he had concus- sion of the hrain, but he was brought to his home here tonignt and his con- dition is_somewhat improved. Juat after sunrise this morning, the fighters, their attendants, and one hundred followers of the game here in teams for Sodom reservoir, one of, the water supplies of New York city. 'On the arrival of the party at the reservoir a ring was formed by the spectators and the men, each weighing about 140 pounds, stripped for the battle. With bare knuckles both set a furi- ous pace from the beginning. During the tenth round Dekin was so badly battered that the referee wanted to stop the fight, but Dekin refused and went to the 21st, when he was so badly hammered that he had to stop. His nose was crushed even with his face, his eyes almost closed and his lips cut. He was taken to a nearby farmhouse, where he was partly un- conscious, and it was at first thought that he had received a slight concu #ion of the brain but after being work- ed over all day he recovered suffi-| clently to be brought back here to-' night. Regan was also severely punished’ and his face and lie cut. The men fought for a purse of $100, and it is understood that a much larger sum was wagered on the contest. On the way home, the spectators, in forty or more teams. were the vic- time of several runaways and spills, and one man is understood to have Bad an arm broken. As the battle wias ever the New York state line the loral @thorities can take no action in the @atter and what the New York offi- cials will do is problematical. INCLUDED HIS WIFE IN BILL OF SALE.

ONE DRIVER .KILLED IN GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE. Maurice Fournier Crushed Beneath His Car When Axle Broke. Lemans, France, July 23.—The grand prix de France, which was run here today under the auspices of the Auto Club of Sarthe, was marred by a fatal accident.
