At first the officials of the marine depart- ment at Ottawa were disinclined to allow the vessel to go, but a request was made direct to Hon. R. L.

Baltimore, Md., May b5.—Maryland's first presidential primary election to- morrow will decide the votes of the sixteen delegates this state will send to the national conventions. The import- ance of the election is increased by the fact that the law permits no divid- ed delegation. A victory in Maryland will mean sixteen delegates all in a block, bound to support the candidate for whom they are instructed until they conscientiously” believe he has no longer a chance of winning the nomination. While this feature of the instructions has been variously in- terpreted, it is conceded to hold the delegates at least for the first ballot at the national conventions. La Follette’s Name Not on Ballot. The names of Theodore sRoosevelt and President Taft appear on the re- publican ballot, while the democrats have the privilege of voting for Speak- er Champ Clark, Governor Judson Harmon or Governor Woodrow Wilson. Active campaigns have been waged on behalf of these candidates. Negroes a Big Feature. An uncertain factor in the contest is the negro vote, which is about 35 per cent of the whole and in some of the eastern and southern counties com- prises more than half the republican suffrage. “FAKE PROSECUTIONS.” Roosevelt So Characterizes Recent Prosecutions of Trusts, Oyster Bay, N, Y., May 5.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt issued a s tement tonight in reply to President Taft's speech in Baltimore last night. The colonel read Mr. Taft's speech care- fully and prepared his answer with equal care, writing out with pencil in- stead of dictating it to his secretary. “He stands guilty of approving and encouraging fraud which deprives the people of their right to express their will te who shall be nominated,” wrote Colonel Roosevelt of the presi- dent. The colonel returned this morning from his Maryland tour. Ie said he expected to remain in Oyster Bay for a wzek pefore starting on his Ohio cam- paign. Taft Useless to People. Colonel Roosevelt in his statement sald in part: “With Mr. Taft's personal opinion about me I have no concef beyvond pointing out the sufficiently obvious fact that he never discovered that I until I had been obliged to come to the con- ion that he was useless to the peo- ple. But his specific statements as to the tru: the crookedness in selecting delegates and the Lorimer incident I shall oncesagain answer, although I have already answered them specifical- in Massachusetts and although Mr. aft's repetition of them now is in- compatible with sincerity of purpose or conviclion on his part. Knew All About Harvester Decision. “Mr. Taft knew all the facts about the Harvester trust decision and he was present at a cabinet meeiing when they were all discussed and at that cabinet meeting and also in private conversation with me he repeated and emphatically approved the course actually taken, just as he repeatedly and emphatically approved the course taken as rogards the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. He was ' absent from the ccuntry when Mr. Smith was reporting to me and consulting with Mr, Bonaparte, but after his return in January the matter came up again and it appeared that Mr, Bonaparte had not understood that my judgment was that the course advocated by Mr. Smith was the proper one to follow. Bonaparte Wanted Suit Continued. “Accordingly the matter was gone over at length in the cabinet meeting. Mr. Bonaparte was the only member who was inclined to believe that the suit. should Dbe continued without re- \mlth 'i investigation. Mr. : the opposite impossible forgotten Taft eround, that he it should now that he did thus, as a member of my have cabinet, take the opposite ground. “Of cour as a member of my cab- inet, who at that time I was sup- | porting for the . presidency, he knew and could not avoll knowing every- thing of any importance that went on. It is impo e to reconcile his present position with any standard of honor- able conduct, whether we accept the view that he then approved what he believed to be wrong or whether accept the only alternative, that he now denfes what possibly help rememberin we which is he cannot ‘-hs Position Toward Anti-Trust Law. Taft says I have changed my ‘mmd ‘about the anti-trust law. He well knows that the position I t: now {g precisely the position I took again and a ches and mes- sages to o s I was dent. He was then in my cabinet and repeatedly expressed his approval of what T thus said. says I have said that the law to that be repealed. this is not “Mr. Taft sas that T criticize him becaus prosecuted the Standard Oil and Tobaceo companies to the supreme court and got declsions there. On the contrary, nows well that I criticized him not for kaving thus con- tinued the prosecution of the suits that 1 had bezun but because after he had gotten these decisions he then permit- ted the department of justice to so snape matters that the result was a complete nullification of all the good results of his suit. Taft Prosecutions Fake Prosecutions. “His conduct in this respect is quite incompatible with any sincere purpose really to enforce the anti-trust law. As a result of his action the stocks of the corperations in question rose greatly in value, the rise in ndard Gil stocks being over $200,000,000, Mr, Taft can hardly have failed to notice that, fellowing his institution of a suit against the Harvester trust, Harvester stock went up two points, “Evidently Wall sptrest has made up its mind that Mr, Taft’s prosecutions are fake prosecutions, whereas the bit- tér hestility of Wall street to me shows hew lively is its memory of the fact that my prosecutiong wers really | i piece of clothesline, some one ha.

Governor Makes No Resistance. i In the meantime Admiral Vieale | summoned the-governor of the cityt to surrender. The latter replied that he possessed no means of resisiance and aceordingly abandoned the control of | the city under protest. He added that he had no power to issue orders to the garrison, which, however, shortly afi- erwards retired to a position outside the city. The warships promptly shell- ed the Turkish soldiers, who withdrew, and the Italian colors were eventually hoisted over Rhodes. Italians Lost but Five. The Italians lost but five wounded in the brief engagement. The Turk: are belleved to have suffered heavily. Pifty of them were made prisoners. PROTESTS OF AMERICAN CONSUL OF NO AVAIL. iti i Captain of Steamer Texas Forcibly Re- moved to a Turkish Prison. Athens, May 5.—In spite of the pro- tests of the American and Greek con- sults, the captain of the steamship Texas, which was blown up a few days ago in the Gulf of Smyrna, was forci- bly removed from the Greek hospital to a Turkish prison inrmary today. The Turks accuse him of spying in Italy’s behalf. The American consul has notified the embassy at Constantinople and it is said the first secretary of the embassy and the captain of an American guard- ship hav S E passegners A large number of the and crew were drowned when the Tex- | as sank. An inquiry into the disater showed that the Turkish forts had fired a number of solid shots at the steamer, one of which is supposed either to have exploded a mine or the vessel's | boilers.
