WILSON SPEAKS IN SUPPORT OF POLICY President, in a Nonpartisan Speech, Lauds Acts of Administration. HE RECEIVES AN OVATION Baltimore, Md., Sept. 25.—President Wilson. speaking before the Grain Dealers’ convention here today, up- held his tariff policy, defending the federal reserve act and the shipping bill, and declared that if its business is properl{ conducted America has an_unexcelled future before it. President Wilson arrived here at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon and was driven immediately to the Lyric theater. The president’s progress through the streets was marked by a continuous ovation. Four automo- biles carried his immediate party. There were no bands, because of Mr. Wilson's insistence that the occasion be kept nonpartisan. Frequently, however, he was forced to bow i response to applause. A committee representing commercial organiza- tions and the Grain Dealers’ associa- tion met him. As he stepped upon the platform at the theater the aud- ience stood and clapped. Lee G. Metcalfe, hnd of the asso- ciation, introduced Mr. Wilson thh the simple words: “The president.” Mr. Wilson declared gt the outset that a political campaign seriously in- terfered with the consideration of gubhc questions. He said he desired is audience to forget for the time bel\g that a campaign was on. hat I have come to say,” he said, “I want to say in an atmosphere of calmness. “T want to speak to you of the business of the world from the stand- point of America.” He said that the export of grain from the United States was decreum% in ratio, adding that the agricultural acreage of the United States should produce at least twice as much grain as at present. ‘T want to see America seek not to exclude, but to excell,” said the presi- dent in discussing American trade. He spoke in support of the tariff commis- sion created by the last congress, The president said he did not fear to say that previously tariff laws had been founded on theories, He did not fear the investigation of the facts by the tariff comimssion. “It will look for the facts, no mat- ter whom it hurts,” he said. “We have swung out inlo a new business era m America,” continued the president. “Now our business has extended to the whole world. Our trade has burst its jacket. We have realized that American business men did not hlve enough ships to carry their goods.” The president, speaking slowly, turned to a discussion of the banking system of the Um(ed States. "Only in very recent years,” he said, “have we even studied the question. Not un- til the present federal reserve act was passed did American bankers have .propev facilties for carrying on for- business. 'Not only when this war is over, but now America must take its stand in American business on a scale it has never known before. “A few years ago American busi- ness men took up their morning pa- pers with a degree of nervousness to see what the government was dom( to theru, ‘he continued. “Now they have no nervousness. There is no con- test between proper business and the . government. “We are crenmg mummennlmel through which a t orough investiga- tion can be made of every American business,” the president declared. He was mteml%!ed frequently by business must founded on truth,” he said. *We ust have co-operation between all” As a step in this direction he advo- cated a law to all American exporters to utilize common selling .agencies abroad. “1 despise monopoly and have an enthusiasm for co-operation,” he de- clared. The trend of laws in the United States, lccordmz to the president, will be to remove “all ingenious obstruc- llonl ‘from the activities of the people of nation, Spnkiu of the need of more ships he asserted that “we Cll;l- not lose any time In getting the means of del mis fiodl to foreign markets.” He a:ph ed the shipping bill by saying that under it the gov- ernment will seck to build up trade routes, but will step aside when pri- vate capital wants to keep up the business, “The real wealth of foreign rela- tionship,” he said, “is the wealth of friends ia and common understand- ing. “There is only one thing I have ever been ashamed of in America, and that is its timidity in facing foreign com- petition. I know that American busi- ness men have enough brains to com- pete with anybody.” The president spoke emphatically and slapped his right fist on the palm of his left hand with a resounding smack. “My u\terest in American affairs," he said, “is to do my utmost in re- leasing the intelligence of America for the service of mankind.” At he concluded the band played the Star Spangled Banner, and the entire audience stood and cheered again and again, Bohemian Demonstration | Is Held at Milligan, Neb.

[t was learned today tKat in response to a vigorous protest by the United States assurances have been given that there will be no more such seiz- ures. The British action first was ex- plained on the ground that the goods were consigned to blacklisted firms. Later it was claimed that several of the firms were ringleaders in a junta alleged to be seeking to cause a rebel- ion in India. The seizure of packages from the Chinese Prince caused very bitter feeling in Manila and a maximum fine was levied on it when it entered port with its manifest short. The fine was later reduced to $25,000 and finally re- bated when the missing goods arrived on another ship. KING OF QUIVERA: ENTERS CITY TODAY (Continued From Page One.) September 28—Pawnee City.

Wires attached to the wrecked telephone pole were torn down and traffic was made extremely danger- ous.

In the halgyon days o old all circuses and street fairs and carni- cal companies carried a thriller, some fooldhardy man or woman who gambled with short odds against fate and laughed at the undertaker., But after a few years even the most in- ventive brain failed to igure out thril- lers that would thrill—the public had seen so many—and the thriller be- came a thing of the past. But this year Mr. Wortham uncov- ered a_daring autoist with a new stunt He somersaults in the air, not {,uu half a turn as they used to do, ut a full turn in the air, and with nothing but the hard earth below. “ItIl take your breath completely away,” is the prediction o those who have seen this nervy chap in action. But the Wortham shows do not make their only bid for popularity with this thriller. A score of other attractions, not so exciting, perhaps, but as interesting, are included in this jubilee company.

W. Watkins of McCool was destroyed by fire last night entailing a loss of $3,000 with insurance. ' Fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. An at- tempt was made to destroy all the live stock on the farm by secretly driving them into the barn before the fire. The tennant succeeded in driv- ing them all out of the burning build- ing. The barn had been entered a few days before and considerable grain stolen. Wanted to Jump. Kofka durmx the last few blocks of the car’s ride clung to the steps with the intention of jumping, but was persuaded just before the final crash by Kent to come back to the platform. An enormous crowd congregated at Sixteenth and Cuming streets dur- ing the mornin, wnchlng workmen clear away the debris, Kent said, “The first time that I became fully aware of our danger was just before the car reached ‘I’hlrty- third street. Kofka came to the rear platform and told me. He ‘was prepar- ing to jump to the pavement, but 1 kept him from doing so. Shortly afterward, I think the car was going fully elghty miles an hour. We had a flat wheel that made an intermittent sound when. we were traveling at a normal rate. of speed, but it was purr- ing when we hit Twenty-fourth street, and the lights went out. [ knew the finale would occur when we reached Sixteenth, and called to the passen- gers. All clung to some ‘portion of the car like death. I remember one man sitting down on the floor brac- ing his feet and back against the seats, - Braces for Crash, “ ‘Oh, God. Oh, God,’ he kept say- ing. I was trying to pray when we struck the Sixteenth street turn, and a second later a telephone pole. A thousand lights of as many different colors seemed to strike my eyes, then thhck curtain shut them out, and, d—here [ All of the puuengen assert that their thoughts were so confused when they realized their danger, that aside from clinging to the nearest object and praying for the best, they had no connected ideas, Mrs. Lillie Stockman, mother of Claude, says she had a presentiment during the evening that her son was in danger and prayed that no ill might befall him Mrs, E. F. Dugher had a similar mental flash about her son, but dis- nllilacd the idea as nonsense and re- tired.

What is the work of the life insur- ance agent, and what does it mean directly as to homes and broadly as to society? His direct work & good. There can be no question of this. Indxrecfly his work is far reaching. 1t is because of the premiums paid by the policyholders whom he obtains that the life insurance companies exist; it is by reason of his tireless endeavor that the companiés prosper and grow Through these com- vanies it may be said that he erects buildings, constructs bridges, helps towns and municipalities in construc- tion work and puts railroads in places where there were but endless dead atretches of mere landscape.

HUNDRED THOUSAND YOTING ON STRIKE Balloting Today on Question of Suspending Work. 179,600 VOTED ON SUNDAY New York, Sept. 25.—Labor or- ganizations including about 100,000 workers, meet today to vote on the question of joining in the proposed general strike to take effect here Wednesday morning. Ernest Bohm, secretary of the conference of labor organizations directing the move- ment, said that unions representing 179,500 workers already had voted to quit work. A meeting of the leaders will be » | held this afternoon to hear the reports from the local unions. Among those who vote today are the machinists, metal workers, laundrymen a.nd butchers. Secretary Bohm asserts that if the general strike becomes effective it will not last more than two days, as he believes it will quickly forge the trac- tion companies to arbitrate with their striking employes. Milk Wagon Drivers Strike. According to Secretary Bohm, the strike among drivers for Borden’s Condensed Milk company, which be- gan yesterday and continued to spread today, was due to an attempt by the company to enforce upon the men the “master and servant” form of con- tract, which is one of the issues in the trxctlon strike. The Borden com- pany’s example was being followed by other employers he said and would not be tolerated. The milk drivers strike would be extended to other companies, he declared.
