Bitter feeling between them, beginning with Mr. Reilly’s election, increased last winter when Mr. Reilly attacked Mr. Hifl in a speech in the house. Hill Criticised Woodrow Wilson. The trouble today began when Mr. Hill, without warning, launched into a political speech, criticizing the labor views of Governor Woodrow Wilson. He said Mr. son, in addressing the Princeton University graduating class in 1909, assailed labor organizations on the ground that they were made for ‘unprofitable servants” by hampering the individuality of their members. Mr. Hill declared that the re-election of President Taft was assured. Reilly Flourishes a Letter. “Mr. chairman,” shouted Mr, Reilly, “the gentleman is much more confident of the election of Willlam Howard Taft than he was at a recent meeting of Connecticut postmasters.” Mr. Reilly held aloft a letter which he said he had “providentially” ,re- ceived tHis morning. His informant, who had hearq Mr. Hill address the Connecticut postmasters, quoted Mr, Hill as saying that there would be many familiar faces missing from a&round the board “if they did not do belter work in the next election than they did in the last,” and as admon- there was a prolonged demonstration of approval. Governor Woodrow Wil- son' he disposed of with this faint praise: ‘Howard Hypnotizes Delegates. “A good man, perhaps, but we have had ‘good ‘men’ in the White ‘House before, and they have gone out with the country more saturated with rum than it was when they went m.” “Now you are talking truth,” called a delegate, amid general acclaim, So enthusiastic were the delegates over Chairman Howard's address that they ordered it printed as a campaign text book and started a genuine boom for Mr. Howard for president. His candi- dacy loomed large tonight apd as the field is decidedly an open one, he is regarded as one of the potentfal factors in the race, “Hero Night” Ceremony. The convention committee was. ap- pointed late in the afternoon and got to work tonight. There was a busi- ness gession this evening, followed by a “hero night,” a ceremony where men who have been candidates in the vari- ous prohibition campaigns are given a reception and eulogized in song and speech, The convention is being held at the ocean end of one of the long piers jut- ting far int) the ocean. The fact that the convention hall was “entirely sur- rounded by water” was referred to in the address of welcome today, and the Rev, Robert Arthur Ellwood called out laughter when he welcomed the convention “on behalf of the 171 pro- shing his hearers to “take off their | coats and work openly for the contin- | sation of the administration.” | Reilly Resented Alleged Attack on | Him. | Angrily aivancing down the alsle, | Mr. Reilly declared that Mr, Hill had personally attacked him in that speech. He quoted from Mr, Hill's alleged re- marks “Behold the man you have sent to | Washington to represent this distriet. | Do you know what he is doing? He is vofing with the scuthern democ rats | to destroy the manufacturers of Con- | aecticut. Sick and Tired of Hill's Tariff Speeches Mr. Reil'y vehemently denied that his vote was casl for tariff measures that would jeopardize the manufactur- Ing interests of the country.

Third Party Proposes to Make an Issue of Tariff. Ovster Bay, N, Y., July 10.—Immedi- ate downward revision of the tariff is likely to be one of the demands made by (he new party headed by Colonel Roosevell. While the former presi- dent was non-committal today regard- ing the course he would urge the Chi- cago convention of the new party to accept, it developed from the talk of a number of leaders who have conferred with Colonel Roosevelt in the last few days that the party doubtless will de- clare for immediate revision. According to the present programme the demand for action will be restrict- ed to those schedules which in the ion of the pdrty heads are obvi- sly high. The woolen and cotton schedules were pointed out as perhaps the best examples. Whether the plat- form will enumerate specific schedules and pledge itself to scale them down- ward, or will content itself with a gen- eral declaration 6f the principle upon which it will act, has not been decidet.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 10—During cross examination today of Job Har- riman, soclalist leader of national prominence, in the bribery trial of Clarence 8. Darrow, it developed that an effort had been made by political enemies to indict Harriman for com- plicity in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, months after the McNamara brothers had confessed and since the Darrow trial began. Retirement of Deputy Sheriff. It was a day of striking incidents, beginning with the retirement from under fire of Deputy Sheriff Martin Aguirre, formerty warden of San Quentin Prison, who had been in charge of the jury since the begin- ning of *the trial, compiaint having been made that he was friendly to the ddfence. Although he was exen- erated by the court from any sus- picion of wrong, the incident eveked a long period of eratory in which the jurors participated in defense of Aguirre. Harriman Startied. No one in the court room apparent- ly was more startled than Harriman, when he was questioned by the dis- trict attorney as to his knowledge of the dynamiting of the Times plant. Harriman Akin to Defendant. The district attermsy declared in reply te an objection by the defence that he was seeking to shew that Harriman's relatioss with the dyma- miters were “more dai than those of the attorney,” tl his connection with the jury bribery trial was more “akin te that of defendant.” CRIPPLED ENGINE SENT OUT TO HAUL FREIGHT. losed In Corning Disaster investigation. Corning, N. Y., July 10.—Engineer Willlam Schroeder of the Lackawanna express traln which crashed Into the passenger train near here last Thurs- day, ecausing the wreck which cost forty Hves, did noto appear for exam- ination at the coroner’s inquest this afternoon. Schroeder's physloian in- formed Coroner Smith that the engi- neer's phvelcal conditlion was such that he could not stand a grilling cross examinatiop. Schroeder's testi- mony {8 considered of slight impor- tance, it having been testified that he was apparently intoxicated shortly be- fore he took his train out on its fatal run. Coroner Smith late today ad- journed the inquest untll Monday, when Schroeder and Fireman Huntley will be calleg to testify. One point was brought out at the inquest this afternoon which the representatives of the Interstite Commerce Commis- sion evidently believed important. Timothy J. Hartnett of Klmira, road foreman of engines of the Lacka- wanna, testified that the engine which hauled the freight train, the stalling of which caused the track blockade which made the wreck possible, was sent out of Himire without repairs which the engineer had reported as necessary. These repairs*would affect the steaming power of the engine, he sald. The witness admitted that had the engine been in good condition the freight would probably have made the siding so that No. 9 would not have been forced to come to a standstill on the main track, as it stood when train No. 11 struck it. TWO EXPERTS DECLARE THAW TO BE SANE. His Release Would not Endanger Pub- fic or Himself. White Plains, N. Y. July 10.—The last of the expert testimony by alien- ists was given in the Harry K. Thaw hearin today when Dr. William A. White, head of the federal asylum for the insane at Washington, and Dr. Charles K. Mills, a lecturer at Colum- bia University on mental diseases, stated thelr positive opinions that the slayer of Stanford White Is now sane. The head of the federal asylum de- clared that at his institution, “con- stitutional inferiority” was not con- sidered cause for the detention of en- listeq men. He asserted that Thaw's characterization of Stanford White as a “gorflla” and a “blackguard” was “emotionally justified.” Dr. Mills swore posftively that he considered Thaw a sane man and that his release would not be dangerous efther to him- self or to the public. The Thaws feit that they had scored a point in the afternoon. Willlam M. K. Olcott, formerly Thaw's lawyer, testified that in 1806 he had agreed to the Idea of sending Thaw to an In- sane asylum without trial. The Thaws contended thdt this admission dissi- pated Thaw's alleged delusion thai his counsel and his alienists were in a “conspiracy” with ths district attor- ney’s office in 1906 to send him to an asylum without trial. Mr, Olcott was discharged at that time as Thaw's lawyer becsuse of his opinion it Thew was irrational, CONTINUING HANFORD INQUIRY. Witnesses Examined Privately and as They Appeared.
