WANTS CONSTITUTION CHANGED PreeJdeat Raonwlt Believe* That Is Carbine the Tract Evil Mach Cm Be Done Kvea Without a Coaatltatlonal Amendment?Thinks Supervision Unit Come Throagh Wleelj Framed La we. Cincinnati, Ohio. ? President Roose velt in a speech before a vast audience that filled the great Music Hall to the doors, while hundreds stood outside, reiterated bis advocacy of Governmental control of trusts, and condemned tbe proposal to revise the tariff as a remedy for trust evils. The President In opening took up tbe matter of trusts Immediately, and for a time followed tbe lines of his recent speech at Wheeling, W. Vj. The trusts, be said, had produced both good and evil. They were Inevltable, and tbe country could not get rid of tbem. Continuing the President said; "The evils attendant upan capitalization alone are. in my judgment, suffl cient to warrant a iar cioser ?ujw:ivision and control than now exists over the great corporations. "Wherever a substantial monopoly can be shown to exist wo should <*er* talntly try our utmost to devise an expedient by which It can be controlled. "It would be neither Just nor expedient to pnnisb the big corporations as big corporations. What we wish to do Is to protect the people from any evil that may grow out of their existence or maladministration. Some of these corporations do well and others do ilL "If In any case the tariff is found to foster a monopoly which does IU. why, of course, no protectionist would object to a modification of the tariff sufficient to remedy the evil. "Furthermore, the products of many trusts are unprotected, and would be entirely unaffected by any change in the tariff, or at most very slightly so. "The Standard Oil Company offers a case In point, and the corporations which control the anthracite coal output offer another, for there is no duty whatever on anthracite coal. "Without regard to the wisdom of any one of these three positions, it remains true that the real evils con nee ted with the trusts cannot i>p remedied by any change in the tariff laws. Tbe immediate introduction of substantial free trade in all articles manufactured by trusts?that is, by tbe largest and most successful corporationswould not affect some of tbe most powerful of our business combinations in the least, save by tbe damage done to the general business welfare of tbe couqtry. "The necessary supervision and control in which I firmly believe is tbe only method of eliminating tbe real evils of tbe trusts must come through wisely and cautiously framed legislation, which shall aim. In the first place, to give definite control to some sovereign over the great corporations, and which shall be followed, when once this power has been conferred, by a system giving to tbe Government tbe full knowledge which is essential for satisfactory action.** TKa AAlaKraHnn <1PA?

After the President bad been speaking to 8000 persons about fifteen minutes there was a great commotion in Mechanical Hall, adjacent to Music Hall on the north.

Birmingham, Ala.?In an awful crush of humanity caused by a stampede in tbc Sbllob Negro Baptist Church, at the corner of Avenue G and Eighteenth i street, seventy-eight persons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The disaster occurred Just as Booker T. Washington bad concluded bis address to the National Convention of Negro Baptists, and for three hours the scenes around the church were almost indescribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direction, and the ambulance sen-ice of the city was utterly uunlile to more them until long after midnight. Shiloh Church is the largest place of worship for negroes in Birmingham, and at least 2000 persons were inside when the stampede began. Instructions had been Issued to allow no one to enter after the building had been filled, but the nogroes forced their way Inside and were standing in every aisle when the cry of "Fight!" "Fight!" was mistaken for ' Fire," and a deadly scramble began to get out. The entrance to the church was literally packed, and the negroes were trampled to death in their struggle to escape. Most of the dead are women, and the physicians say in many cases they fainted and died from suffocation. A remarkable feature of the calamity is thnt llttlp or no hlood wn? spon on nnv of the victims. They were either crushed or were suffocated to death. BROKE JAIL TO SEE HIS MOTHER.
