merit's dissolution suit had been
BH shown, Judges' Cray, Bufflnston and Mc
Phcraon, In the United Stales district
court at Trenton, today refused to gram
Hfl the Injunction prayed for hy thc govcrn-
HH mcnt to restrain the trust from making
away with any of these papers. At the
HH samo time they grunted the injunction
asked in the same application against the
" American- Wire & Steel company dc
stroylng any more of the papers In Its
Hl poFaessIon benrlnp upon thc suit. This lat-
HH ' tor Injunction was granted because it
had been proved that the steel and wire
HB company had burned a trunkful of.corrc-
HH spondence pertaining to the famous
HH Jackson pools.
HB Judgo J. M. Dickinson, who Is con-
HB ducting the A"ainii:Mion of wltnesf.is in
Bl the dissolution suit before Special JSx-
HH . amlner Brown, said today, after he had
learned of the adverse decision of thc
IB court at Trenton, that tills would have
HH no appreciablo effect upon the govern -
HH' m cut's dissolution suit.
H; Baa ekes Makes Admission,
HB ' Frank Bnackes, vice president and
IIB. general sales' agent of the American
Hp Steel Wire company, assumed full rc-
HB sponslblllty today for the destruction of
Hflj . the documentary evidence In thc posses-
IfjSj lon of that company which was tcsti-
HH -fied to the previous day by H. A. Whit-
HH Bnackes was thc principal witness put
HH ion the stand by thc government In the
.UIH ? fourth day of the hearing. He claimed
JlfH that within u month or two after thc
HH '-wire pool collapsed as a result of the
Hfl ' withdrawal from It of thc American
HB Steel & Wlro company, he had given an
H order for thc Immediate destruction of
HB 'all the correspondence and other papers
HH i bearing upon the operations of the pool
HH; because he thought there was no longer
any use to encumber his of lice files with
HH . the great mass of correspondence about
HH the transactions of thc pool. lie swore
HH that until thc government started its ln-
HH vcstlgallon which resultod In the present
HH suit against the' steel trust, he thought
HjH his order of two years heforo had been
HH complied with. i
HH Alleges Surprise,
HH The Introduction of these supposedly
HH destroyed papers in thc proceedings here
HH which led to thc indictment of all thc
HH members of the Jackson pool, surprised
HH him much, ho declared. Baackcs states
HH positively that he had not given thc or-
H der to Whitney to have thc papers
HH burned, but that he had always under-
HH stood that order had been given to
HH WTnltney by George A. Cragln, the eom-
HH pany's assistant general sales agent. He
HH further asserted that when Whitney of-
II fercd his resignation after testifying be
HH foro the grand Jury' that the order to
HAfj hurn the papers had been $vcn to him
HH by Baackes, ho urged Whitney to remain
with the company.
At the morning session of the hearing
Cragln testified to' the same effect.
jH "Why was thc wire pool formed?" was
H asked of Baackos, by "Henry Colton, who
is assisting Judgo Dickinson.
"To make more money." replied
1 Baackcs.
H "Did you make' more money bv raising
HH prices and controllng allotmcntf?"
M "Of course we did," promptly replied
HB the witness.
HHl Baackes then told how the allotmonts
HiH were made.
MM How the Pool Worked.
HH 'If a member of the pool had sold over
HH 100 per cent of his allotment," said thc
HjH witness, "he was notified to curtail his
sales eo as to get in line with the others,
nj If he persisted In overselling, then he
HbH forfeited the cash guarantee ho had to
Hjl deposit when he became a member."
Ml Under cross-examination bv L, v.
WH LIndabury. the steel trust's chief trial
HH lawyer. Baackes testified that lie wlth-
HjH drew the American Steel & Wlref rom-
HH pany from the Jackson pool because C. P.
HHJ MacVeagh, general counsel of the stel
HJH trust, had ordered him to do so In thc
HJH early part of 1009. He had gone to sec
HB Mr. MacVeagh hy direction of Judge
HHj Gary, executive head of the trust, aftpr
HH an Interview with the latter. Mr. AIw-
HHj Veagh. he said, 'told him that the pool
HB was illegal and that thc American Steel
HHj & Wire conipany must at once withdraw
HbV "Up to that time." announced Baackes.
HHt ' we had all believed that Jackson, lilm-
HHJ ' self a lawyer, was entirely right when h
BjBj Insisted to us that the pool was legalt
HBJ MacVeagh anrl Jackson had a big foy
HJH ovisr It. They argued nearly a wholo
HHj day, But I followed Mr. MacVeairira
HH Instructions after Judge Gary loaned
HHJ from mo for the first time that we were
HBa In the pool."

LOS A NG BLISS. Cal.. May 0. In a
speech here tonlcht before tho
Southern California Taft associa
tion, Secretary of SLate Knox vig
orously Interjected himself Into the
California presidential primary campaign.
This was Mr. Knox's first utterance of
a political nature ulncc his return from
Central America. Me took up thc cudgels
strongly for President Taft, defending
him from the criticisms of Colonel Roose
velt, whom he scathingly attacked as a
man "prompted by whims," of "Imperial
ambitions, vanities and mysterious an
tipathies," and as one "who would break
tho rule of his party and his country and
lils own solemn word to gain thc seat
of his friend,"
The "new nationalism" of CoJonel
Roosevelt, was termed by Secretary Knox
"as violent an assault upon the autonomy
of the states as the new nationalism of
1S61 was upon thc Integrity of thc union."
In refutation of Colonel Roosevelt's
claim that Mr. Taft was unfit for re-election
to the presidency, Mr. Knox cited
the colonel's language In 1008 In com
mending Taft as "thc true friend or re
form, thc true foe of abuses."
Replies to Charge.
Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's charge
that the president was seeking thc sup
port of "bosses." Mr. Knox said:
"President Tafl can reply that Mr.
Rooscvetl sought anrl had their Fupport
in his campaign in 100-1, and that In'many
places now his interests are in thc hands
of rejected and disaffected political
bosses whoso .political offenses smell to
high heaven'
Mr. Knox discussed at length the rec
ord of thc Republican party, and reviewed
exhaustively thc achievements of Presi
dent Taft's administration.
Of reciprocity between Canada and the
United Suites, he said that "efforts to
restrain, hamper and Interfere with Its
realization will be as futile and as un
profitable as were the early ruinous
trade wars between the states."
"This," said Mr. Knox, "is perhaps
one of the most extraordinary ante-con-vcntlon
campaigns within the history of
our party. The effort, so far, has been
to confuse the situation by dragging in
issues with which the states alone are
concerned."
Compares Claims.
Mr. Knox then proceeded to summarize
and comp'are the claims to reform
achievements of Colonel Ropsovelt and
President Taft, asserting that the presi
dent's accomplishments far outweigh
those of his predecessor.
"If Mr. R6osovolt,-' he said, "claims
that President Taft Is seeking or has
the support of the men who for years
have Htood for leadership In thc Repub
lican party and guided Its columns to
victory. President Taft can reply that
Mr. RooEevelt sought and had their sup
port In his campaign In 1004. and that
In many places now his Interests are
In the hands of rejected and disaffected
political bosses whose political offenses
smell to high heaven,
"If Mr. Roosevelt claims that he Is
not In favor of reciprocity with "Canada.
Presldont Taft can point to the fact that,
before entering Into that agreement, he
consulted Mr. Roosevelt and obtained
his hearty and unqualified approval of
It."
Quotes the Colonel.
Mr. Knox here quoted a eulogy of Mr.
Taft by Colonel Roosevelt in 100S as an
answer to the colonel's assertion that
President Taft Is unlit to succeed hlm
belf. Ho also cited passages of praise
of Mr. Ta,ft in Mr. Roosevelt's speech '
as temporary chairman of the Saratoga
convention In 1010.
"Mr. "Roosevelt," the speaker contin
ued, "has given no coherent reason for
changing his just appraisement of Mr.
Taft's charcter and qualifications,
"If Mr. Roosevelt claims that President
Taft's actions have been Inconsistent
with lifts declarations In 100S, President
Taft can point, among other examples,
to thc following declarations by Mr.
Roosevelt:
"November S. 1004 'Under no circum
stances, will I ho a candidate for or ac
cept another nomination."
"December 11, 1007 'I have not
changed and shall not change that deci
sion thus announced.'
"February (,, 15J1-J T will accept the
nomination for president if It is, tendered
to me.' "
"New Nationalism."
The most conspicuous point of dlffcr-
nce between Taft and Roosovolt, Mr.
Kjiox asserted, centered In the "new na-
tlonallatn" proponed by Colonel Roooc
. velt.
j "This Involves," he said. "a. nuw con-j
ceptlon by Mr. Roosevelt of the cohesive
princlploo by which the otatos are bound
together to constitute the "United States
of America.'
"Wc heard much of a now patlonallsm
prior to 1861. It was also predicated
upon a false conception of tho nature of
tho union. Its fundamental weakness
was that some states clalmd the right
to destroy tho union by sparatlug thnni
scIvob from tho union, That Jssuo was
decided bv the most tragic war of mod
ern times a war that carried grief into
a million American homes.
"The now nationalism of Mr. Roose
velt represents the other extreme It' la
as violent an assault, upon tho autonomy
of the states us tho new nationalism
of 1SC1 was upon tho Integrity of tlin
union.
Relies on the People.
"Who dare prophesy that the people
the patient, undemonstrative people,
whose full voice Is never heard except In
great crises will not, when aroused to
thf danger of the substantial loss of in
dependent statehood, at as great a cost,
defend tho states as they did the
Union'"
Mr. Knox made an earnest plea that
Mr. Taft be given a second torm.
"TIiIk has bocn," he said, "the Repub
lican ru'o. without exception, except tho
one (President Hayes) . which so forcibly
emphasizes tho rule, and unless the Re
publican party has become the play
thing of one man. prompted by his
whims, his Imperious ambition, his vani
ties and mysterious anllpathlus, It will
not break tho rulo now by refusing a rn
nomlnallon to thc man who has tho
proud distinction of having received moro
votes than were ever cant by the Ameri
can people for any other candldato for
president.
"On the other hand, you have one who
has served two terms as presldont who
would break tho rulo of hla party and
his country and his own solemn word
to gain the seat of his frincd.
"It Is for you to decide between them."

Harmon today sent a telegram to Wil
liam J. Bryan further denying charges
made by Mr. Bryan at Flndlay yester
day that friends of the governor had tried
lo purchase Bryan delegates In 1908. He
said;
"I repeal that no one was authorized
by me or with my knowledge or consent
ever tried to purchase dolegates. I never
heard of such a thing cxocpL from your
statement yesterday. At the dato you
mentioned I had accepted the nomination
for governor and was making no effort
for the presidential nomination. If you
have a letter showing what you say,
why don't you publish it? Tho people
are entitled to the facts and I wish them
to be known."
Bryan Responds.
COLUMBUS. O.. May 0. Charges from
William J. Bryan that friends of Gov
ernor Harmon had nought to purchasd
Bryan-pledged delegates to the 1908 i-oti-venllon
stirred tho Ohio executive to a
telegraphic denial today and brought
from Mr. Bryan thc publication of the
letter on which he says tho charges were
based.
Tho letter was made public here by
Harvey Garber. who said It was ad
dressed to State Senator Frank T. Dore
of Tiffin. It- was signed by Michael Do
vanncy of Cincinnati, and was in part.
Cincinnati. Juno 29, 190S.
Dear Sir In a conference with our
mutual friend, Mr. of ,
he advised me you were In touch with
the two delegates from tho
district He advised that you seo
Mr. of , and have
him seo the delegate of that place,
whose name he did not rernombor,
and have him, together with Mr.
of , meet Mr.
at Columbus on tho evening of
July 2, so that arrangements may be
made for tho trip to Denvor.
Mr. of Cincinnati will
meet them and take caro of tneir
transportation to Denver.
By this letter, my dear .
you will see there Is "something
doing," and whilst Indorsements have
been given in your district, 1 hope
that your two delegates can sec their
way clear to vote for Judge Harmon
on the tlrst ballot at Denver.
Mr. Garbor Is a member of the Demo
cratic national committee. He declined
to make known thc names of those in
volved In the letter.
Says Bryan Lies.
CINCINNATI, May 9. -Michael Dev.in
ney, campaign managor for Governor
Harmon, made an emphatic denial to
night of the chargos brought against
him in the letter produced today by Wil
liam J. Bryan.
Mr. Dovanney, however, did not deny
I writing the letter, but said ho would have
nothing to cay until ho saw It
"When Mr. Bryan says that I attempt
ed to purchase delegates in Ohio for
Governor Harmon," said Mr. Dcvanney,
"he Is telling a plain, unvarnished He,
for never, either directly or indirectly,
was any attempt made by mc to purchasu
any delegates for anybody."
Will Go Unpledged.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. May 9. Thc
twenty-six Taft candidates for delegates
to the Republican national convention will
not be pledged If they are elected. So
far as their signatures attest they are
plmplv running, free to Join in any com
bination for any candidate nominated on
tho floor of the convention.
It was discovered In thc flies of tho sec
retary of state that, whereas the Roose
velt, La Follcttc, Clark and Wilson can
didates have all signed the affidavits re
quired by law declaring their personal
preference for president and their willing
ness to support "that candidate for presi
dent of tlio United States who shall have
received the highest number of votes
throughout tho entire state" (by the vot
ers of their party), the forms supplied
by the Taft California committee omit
aiiy statement of preference or any pledge
of "support.
Under the law this failure Is not suffi
cient ground for tho secretary of slate
to refuse the nomination papers.
Tho twenty-six candidates for dele
gates In the Taft column aro presumably
"Taft delegates." as they were all named
bv the California Taft campaign com
mittee, headed by Charles Mifflin Ham
mond and have been Indorsed as such
bv President Taft himself In an official
letter to Secretary of Stato S. J. Jordan.
Their names appear on thc official bal
lots as such.

ceiving tho nomination.,
Governor Goldsborough said;
"Colonel Roosevelt won tho preferen
tial vote In tho primaries In this stato
last Monday, and the will of tho people
should prevail. T was on tho Taft side,
and wo lost."
Chairman John B- Hanna of thc Re

to return to work as ordered by Froel.
Several days ago, In anticipation of this
discipline, officers of tho local union made

near Bermejlllo and about 3000 federals.
A dispatch from Escalou stated that a
courier from the front brought the news
that tho federals, from behind strongly
fortified positions wero warding off the
Invading rebels with a heavy artillery
fire, General Huerla. commander of the
government troops. Is said to be well
toward the front of, his army directing
operations.
Officials here made public further de
tails of the recent fight near Cuatro
Clenegas. It now appears that General
Salazar was heading for Monclova, an
Important railroad center north of Tor
reon, with the idea of Hanking the fed
erals from the south. He met unexpected
rcslstanco In a desperate fight with Gen
eral Trucy Anbort, who was then not
known to be In that region. Salazar
was driven back westward along the
railroad to Cuatro Clenegas, which town
he still holds. He was reported today
to be making another assault on Mon
clova. Losses on both slde3 wore said
to have been great. Interest centers to
night on Salazar's ability to circumvent
Monclova with the Idea of attacking the
rear columns of the federals.
While rebol officials here now con
cede that General Salazar was beaten,
they regard It as a temporary repulse.
The political situation here tonight
was unchanged. Emlllo Vasquez Gomez
denied that ho was a prisoner. Some
of tho rebel leaders declare the hours
of Gomez as provisional president are
numbored. Others declare Gonzales En
rlle at Chihuahua la tho real power be
hind the throno and will Influence Oroz
co not to accept Gomez. The enmity of
Enrlle and Gomez Is well known, but
there are conflicting reports as to En
rilo's relations with General Orozco. The
latter Is believed to be too busy with
military affairs at present to give at
tention to the establishment of any civil
government.
