BANKER SWINGS PIPE ON ENEMY Modesto Financier Says Capi- talist Telephoned to His Wife [Seecial Dispatch 1o - he Call] MODESTO, Aug. 23.—€. D. Swan, president of the Union Savings bank and member of the city council, was arrested this afternoon on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon sworn to by A. N. Brown, capitalist and man- ager of the Modesto Ice company. Swan was released on '$1,000 bail. The arrest followed an attack on Brown in the Modesto postoffice this afternoon, Swan hitting Brown over the head with a piece of pipe wrapped in a newspaper. Brown's head was cut by the blow, but his wound is not serious. Enmity has existed between the men for _some time, it being alleged that Brown has attempted to force his at- tentions on Mrs. Swan and has an- noyed her by sending missives through the mail, by telephoning and by other means. About a year ago Mrs. Swan fired a shot at Brown as he was riding by in an automobile, but the shat missed him. Swan alleges that Brown telephoned to Mrs. Swan this morning and in- sulted her. She told Swan of the oc- currence on his return home, and the assault on Brown followed. Owing to the prominence of the persons in- volved, the matter has created much excitement locally, and friends of the two men are using care to see that they do not meec again, fearing that a tragedy will follow. ———— LABORER'’S PIPE IS oUT AND HE’'S IN HOSPITAL Uses Powder Cap to Stir To- bacco; Loses Two Fingers NEWCASTLE, Aug. 23.—Ed King, a laborer, used a glant powder cap yes- terday afternoon to stir the tobacco in his pipe.

Wiley will be turned down and the Califérnia fruit packers will win in the sulphur dioxide controversy, which is oon #o be decided. by the Remsen board. Docter Wiley tried to prevent. the use of sulphur in the drying of fruits, while the California packers ‘main- tained that the use of sulphur in mod- erate quantity was not harmful. = Tha matter has been under investigation two or three years in California and the practice of fruit packers in France and Germany also has been “€tudied. The Remsen board will report thét the use of sulphur dioxide in moderate quantities is not harmful. It is probable that the same percent- age will be fixed as that permitted to European packers. Upon receipt of the report of the Remsen board it is ex- pected that the three cabinet .officers charged with making rules under the pure food bill will issue a rule.in ac- cordance with the report and thus r lieve the California packers from ap- prehension of the ruin of thefr busi- ness by Doctor Wiley. Until the report is received and acted upon the packers are permitted to continue their present practice and there will be no hold up of the ’rennt practice. 28.—Doctor i e enormous damage has been done m‘JAMES ‘W.

Y., Aug. 23— On the eve of .his 40 day swing around, the eircle on which republican leaders ex- pect him to define the issues for the campaign of 1912, President Taft to- night. announced himself unalterably opposed to the “nostrums” of reform which, he declared, demagogues and theoretical extremists have advanced for the solution of the problem. of concentrated. wealth in this country. The president spoke to the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, and he found 'in the struggle which they went through 50 years ago and the one which, he said, now confronts this nation, a striking analogy, al- though the struggle of today, he de- clared, would be bloodless. Cure Worse Than Disease “Higher aims for the betterment ot society, these new evils growing out of the concentration of wealth and these combinations, which, properly controlled, are a great good in the re- duction of the cost of production,” said the president, “have invited from the active minded of today suggestions of remedies that are so extreme that the medicine to many of us seems worse than the disease. “Those of us who are charged with the responsibility and sobered with the difficulties find. ourselves in the middle of the road, resisting the ten- dency to socialism on the one hand and the inertia of reactionary content- ment with present evils, and ambition for greater concentration of financial power on the other, but we are grad- ually- solving the problem. People May Be Trusted “The message that you bear, your experience and your success, those of us struggling now with the problem is that. however dark at times the situation seems, so long as we retain in this country a God féar- ing, sober, intelligent people, we can count in the long run upon their work- ing out safely and sanely the problems set before them.” From the moment he reached Roch- ester, about 9 o'clock this morning, until § o'clock tonight, when he left for Beverly, the president was sur- rounded by veterans. He stood on a reviewing stand for more than two hours in the morning, while thousands of old soldiers, many of them totterng along with the aid of friends, filed slowly’ by. Major General Frederick D. Grant, Mayor Edgarton and Com- mander in Chief Gilman of the Grand Army of the Republic stood with the president. . Discusses Arbitration Peace was really the subject of the president’'s speech to the veterans to- with to .| night, but he djscussed briefly the ar- bitration treaties with Great Britain and France which the senate foreign relations committee seeks to 'amend and which.part of that committee la- beled “Breeders of War.” In part the president said: *_“1 do not coma before you in opposi- tion to the senate, and I do not wish %o criticize the madority of the coml
