Officials Fear Result of Battle Be tween Students. VIENNA, Nov. 5.—The attack upon the Itali students at Innsbruck | Thursday occasions great solicitude here. There is no attempt to disguise in certain official circles the apprehen- eion that the relations between Aus- tr! d Italy, which have been strained for some time, are now near the breaking point. It is well known that the anti-Austrian feeling throughout Italy will be greatly in- creased by the unfortunate events of Thursday, and the public feeling, which has long been excited under the propaganda of the Dante Alighieri Society, may become inflamed war pitch. There can be no doubt that, notwithstanding the earnest ef- forts of the German Emperor and of Count von Bulow to pour oil upon the troubled waters, the triple alliance is practically at an end. The trouble was revived recently by the failure to renew the commercial treaty between the two countries. The Hungarian Government opposed the renewal be- cause of the competition of Italian wines and produce, and the Italian and Austro-Hungarian governments evidence that the authorities | to a| = | were afraid to go under a modus vi- | vendi. There was constant complaint in the southern provinces of Austria of ill-treatment of Italians by the German element, and of like ill-treat- | ment of Austrians in Italy, which cul- minated in a series of disturbances | throughout Italy some time ago, dur- ing which the escutcheons of the ‘Auutrian consulates in several large | cities of Italy were disfigured. CONFERENCE IS HELD. An important conference was held between Signor Tittoni, the Italian Foreign Minister, and Count Golu- | chowski, the Austrian Foreign Minis- | ter, at Abazzia in April. There had | been an urgent demand by the Italian | | the establishment of a school at Trent for the purpose of teaching Italian lit- | erature, law and history. This matter was considered with great care at the Abazzia conference, and the Austrian representative declined to establish the school at Trent, because of his fear that it would increase the anti- Austrian spirit in that section, but he compromised by establishing an Ital- ian faculty at Innsbruck. This had the effect of exciting the German- Austrian students, and there has been constant trouble between the two groups ever since, culminating in the riots which have just taken place. In July an important Italian nation- alist demonstration took place at Trieste, and as a result the police searched the rooms belonging to a turn verein society and discovered a number of bombs. The Premier, Dr. von Koerber, to-day citizens of Southwestern Austria for | — | | %3 RS WHO |r(‘pliad as follows to the dispatch of Herr Erler, the representative of Inns- bruck in the Reichgrath, who yesterday demanded that the Premier remove the Italian faculty and holding the Govern- | ment resnonsible for the consequences in the event of its refusal: “The deplorable events at Innsbruck can only determine the Government for the present to direct its efforts to the adoption of vigorous measures for the maintenance of ‘public order, and this it will enforce by all the means at its disposal. At the same time, however, it is impossible to adequately conderan the extravagant agitation which has preceded the disturbances and which has undoubtedly invested them with their passionate unlawful character.” DEPLORES EXCESSES. Dr. von Koerber telegraphed to the Burgomaster of Innsbruck as' follows: “I deeply deplore not only the victims, but also the excesses of which your town, ordinarily so peaceful, has be- come the scene. I consider it the first and foremost duty of the Government to restore complete tranquillity, in which I count upon the co-operation of the Common Council and the good judgment of all the thoughtful inhab- itants.” A memorial demonstration for the | victim of the rioting at Innsbruck, Prezzey, the artist, who was killed by a bayonet thrust Friday, will be. held November 7 in the lecture hall of the Vienna University. The German stu- dents of the high school decided to hold a protest meeting the same day. The War Minister announces after an inquiry that it is doubtful if Prezzey was killed by the gendarmes’ bayonets, and consequently a post-mortem exam- ination of the remains has been or- dered with the view of securing expert evidence regarding the nature of the ‘wounds. A dispatch from Innsbruck published here says a railroad officlal has been severely wounded by a bayonet thrust. —_————— READY TO BEGIN TRIAL OF “NAN” PATTERSON NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—District At- torney Jerome announced to-day that he expected on November 14 to begin the trial of Nan Patterson, who is un- der indictment for the murder of Caesar Young. Miss Patterson is now in .the Tombs Prison in default of $20,000 bail. | asserted that the issue PARKER MAKES EVASIVE ANSWER 10 SCATHING B Clamns F of the NEW YORK, Nov. Judge Par- | ker, in a speech made at a reception | Way, tendered him by the Kings County | Democratic Club in Brooklyn to-night, i “whether the | trusts can purchase the election” had | not been met by President l{oose\'cltl in his reply to Judge Parker's speech. | After stating what his position hadi been in that speech, Judge Parker said | that he had made no criticism of the | President, but that he had simply, called attention to a ‘“notorious and ! offensive situation.” The Judge said| further that the President, after his | attention had been called to the rela- tions which might - exist between Chairman Cortelyou and the trusts by | reason of Mr. Cortelyou's former po- sition as Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Lator, should have sai “I will join Parker in an effort to protect the ballot of the honest citi- | zen from being overridden by merchan- dise ballots.” The assertion was made by Judge Parker that his charge that contribu- tions had been received by Chairman Cortelyou from the trusts was not de- nicd by the President’s statement. The Democratic candidate followed this de- claration with a statement directed to the President personally to the effect that he (Parker) had issued a request that no money for campaign purposes should be received, directly or indirect- ly, from any trust: that he rather would be defeated than to be fettered in an effort to accomplish reforms that were sorely needed. He charged the President with refusing to co-operate in the checking of the monstrous evil. Judge Parker closed that part of his address directed to the President with this sentence: - “I regret to say to you that it then seemed apparent to me, Mr. President, that you regarded the election of more importance than the checking of this evil.” TEXT OF THE REPLY. Judge Parker said in part: “The main purpose of my address to- night is to call attention to the fact that in his strange, belated reply to my sgpeech of twelve days ago, the Presi- dent has not met the issue created since the platforms were adopted, namely: Can the trusts purchase the election? Whatever results may follow from his address, the campaign fund can not be interfered with. It has been raised.” Here the speaker quoted at great length a speech of October 24, in which he first raised the issue. He continued: “You have learned from its reading that the purpose of that address was to warn the people against the cor- rupting of the electorate by tariff- bred trusts and other monopolies. It contained no criticism of the Presi- dent. It simply called attention to a notorious and offensive situation—a situation which presented to my mind the greatest of the moral issues of the campaign; yes, of many campaigns. If he had said on the day after the delivery of my address, after the con- sultation about it which he and Sen- ator Knox had: ‘Yes, I never thought of it before, but Parker is right. Why would a trust bring money out of its treasury, money belonging to its stockholders, consisting of women and children, as well as men of both parties, unless its purpose is to get something in return, something which its officers regard as more than an equivalent for the money taken out of the treasury? Now, he is right, and I am going to stop it. Perhaps the national committee cannot pay back rmer Speech - Contamned No Criticisimn LPresiaent 1it would have been of far less conse- yhe did not do it. ROOSEVELT'S DENUNCIATION | | | the money subscribed in this | that they kave already ex- pended, but there shall be no mcore such contributions. I will jcin Parker in an effort to protect the ballot of the honest citizen from being overridden by merchandise ballots.” “If he had said that it would have sounded like the Roosevelt we once had “nown. And if he had followed it by acts in explanation of his words quence to the people which one of us should be elected than it is now. But He shut his eyes to what was going on and since that time there have been frequent meetings of the trust magnates and the moneys have been spouting into the treasury all the more’ freely and all the more plentifully because of the attitude tak- en by me and which, it is true, I have enforced from day to day. The Presi- dent does not deny the contributions now. This’'is what he says: ‘* ‘That contributions have been made to the Republican committee, as con- | tributions have been made to the Dem- ocratic committee, is not the question at issue. Mr. Parker's assertion is, in effect, that such contributions have | been made for improper motives in consequence of the act or in conse-| quence of improper promises, direct or | indirect, on the part of the recipients. | “That is the only paragraph in which President Roosevelt touches | either directly or indirectly on the question as to whether the trusts have made contributions to the Republican campaign fund. It is almost in terms | of admission that the trusts have con- tributed to the Republican fund. In associating the Democratic campaign fund with the Republican campaign fund the President attempted to so associate the two that a denial of his assertion could not be made without implicating the Democratic commit- tee. “He is in a position to know what contributions have been made to the | Republican National Committee. If | there had been no trust contributions | he could easily have said so. He did not say so. He cannot say so. He has waited until the closing hour of this campaign to make easier the pretense of an answer. But it is not an answer. It is a confession with a plea of avoid- ance addressed to a generous people. ELIHU ROOT'S SPEECH. “If there was any doubt of the source of this great campaign fund it is no longer a matter of suspicion for Elihu Root, the former Secretary of War, frankly admitted last night that the trusts and corporations were heavy contributors. He denied only that the total amounts thus acquired or utilized were as large as in previous years. Moreover the Repub- lican candidate himself denies only that definite immunity from prosecu- tion has been promised trusts for their assistance. “He declares that he is merely to give them a ‘square deal’ as the term may be interpreted, not by the laws of the land, but by himself. It is plain that when the time shall come | to determine what a ‘square deal’ | between the Government of the Unit- ed States and the contributing trusts really is the beneficiary of the gener- osity of the latter must either recog- nize their services or confess himself guilty of base ingratitude.” Judge Parker never had a more en- thusiastic audience than that in Brooklyn to-night. He had not in- tended to make a speech to-night un- til the President issued his statement defending the administration from Judge Parker’s charge. The Judge was engaged most of the day in pre- paring his answer. Before taking up his manuscripts Judge Parker said: ““This,is the last opportunity before the election I will have to talk to a considerable number of Democrats at one time. It gives me pleasure to be able to say that the outlook is very promising to-night. The party is in better condition than it has been for a number of years.” TUESDAY ELECTION WILL BE ONLY A FORMALITY As Campaign Nears Close Ch Parker ances of Wane.

The Call and Herald have collected information from #he so-called doubt- ful States as to the manner in which the campaign is closing, and there are | few changes from the situation of a| week ago. New York State is in' the balance still on the Presidency. The State apparent- Iy is strongly Democratic on the Gov- ernorship. It is possible for Higgins | to ~be defeated and for all his asso- ciates on the tickét to be elected. Both parties have been very aggressive dur- ing the last week of the campaign, and this has added to the interest in the fight. The sensational passages be- | tween President Roosevelt and Judge Parker have placed the trust issue to the forefront of battle. The Democrats are better supplied with money in this State than has been expected. The amount they have avail- able for use on election day is placed at $350,000. The Republicans have more money, and it will be a battle royal in the rural counties. The Lepublican managers are claim- ing New York State for Roosevelt by £5,000 and for Higgins by 40,000. The | Democratic corimittee estimates claim the State for Parker by 11,000 and for Herrick by more than 60,000. The Dem- | ocrats expect Parker to carry New York City by 425,000 plurality and Her- riek by 149,000. NO MORE DOUBTFUL STATES. | The Democrats of New Jersey are | much encouraged and expect to elect | Charles C. Black Governor. There is a stiffening of the Republican vote on the Presidency, and the indicated ma- | jority for Roosevelt in the State now placed at 73,000 The indicated plurality for Stokes, Republican candidate for Governor, is 3700. This is a drop of 50 per cent | in one week and shows that the Demo- crats are gaining as the end of the campaign draws near. Judge Parker’s tour of Connecticut has given the Democracy of that State much encouragement and the State is | more doubtful than at any time dur-| ing the campaign. The indications, however, are that the electoral vote of | Connecticut will be cast for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. West Virginia, which was last week | classified by The Call and Herald as uncertain, with Republican leanings, | has apparently swung to the Repub- | lican side of the fence. The informa- tion which comes from the State is that it is strongly for Roosevelt. Indiana is still the scene of the greatest battle in the Middle West. Both parties are hard at work and well supplied with campaign funds. The State is placed in the Republican column. WISCONSIN FOR ROOSEVELT. As the campaign closes in Wiscon- sin it begins to look as though Gov- ernor La Follette would be beaten, but the State will go for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The canvass was the most exciting the State has ever known and the question of the election of La Fol- | lette depends on whether he can get Democratic votes. Roosevelt's plur- ality in the State is estimated at about 40,000. Maryland is still doubtful and the returns will show some Congressional gains for the Democrats. Delaware is probably Republican, | and Rhode Island, where there is a great State campaign in progress, s | believed to be Republican on na-| tional issues and Democratic on the Governorship. A Republican drift is indicated from the Rocky Mountain States. The Call-Herald estimate of the electoral vote follows: Roosevelt, 264; is | | uncertain, New York, 39. A majority of the Electoral College is 239. The probablitiy is that the next Fouse of Representatives will be Re- publican by a safe working majority. CAMPAIGN'S NOVEL ENDING. The campaign just closing has devel- oped into one of the most remarkable in recent times. The unusual features of a candidate attacking his opponent in office and forcing him into making a direct reply, followed by a rejoinder from the candidate, is a novelty, and furnished the main topic of conversa- tion where politics were discussed to- day. The issues upon which the campaign has been fought have changed. The personality of the President and his public acts, the policy of the Republi- can party on the several questions be- fore the people, formed the basis of Democratic attack and Republican de- fense. Issues raised in platforms, in speeches of nomination, in letters of acceptance | and in literature of the national com- mittees were swept away in a day and upon the brink of the election the par- ties confront each other with the asser- tion and denial of the two candidates as the leading feature. What others have said or may say and what man- agers may claim or deny all goes for nothing in the face of the remarkable spectacle of two Presidential candidates closing a contest with public utterances of such vigor and directness that no one can mistake their meaning. e it BOTH CLAIM COLORADO. Peabody’s Attitude Toward Miners’ Federation Is the Issue. DENVER, Nov. 5.—Governor Pea- body, Republican candidate for re- election, will close a “whirlwind tour” by special train with a meeting in this city on Monday evening. The Dem- ocrats held their last big rally in Den- ver to-night, United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson making the principal address. The issue to be decided at the polls next Tuesday is clearly defined. Gov- ernor Peabody, in his speeches, has explained and defended his course in expelling the members of the Western Federation of Miners from Cripple Creek and Telluride by military force and has pledged himself to the same line of action in future if re-elected. Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for Governor, has promised not to take sides in labor disputep and.to hold the troops subordinate to the civil authorities should their services be required. Both the Republican and Democrat- ic managers profess to expect large pluralities for all their candidates, but impartial observers consider the re- sult in doubt as to State officers and Congressmen, with a probability that Roosevelt will carry the State. —— ROOSEVELT HAS UTAH. Democrats Concede the Defeat of Their Electoral Ticket. SALT LAKE, Nov. 5.—In Utah the campaign this year has been marked by a renewal of the old fight against alleged church domination of politics. In the latter days of the campaign the feeling engendered by this movement has grown in bitterness. How much strength will be developed at the polls by the American (anti-church) party is problematical. Both Republican and Democratic leaders confess themselves entirely at sea. The Democrats, while conced- ing the State will be carried for Continued to Page 26, Column 3.
