oes After Trusts in Speech at

.i Associated Press.
PROVINCKTOWN, Mns., August 10.
With impressive ceremonies the eor-t-rstone
of the Pilgrim Memorial imm
inent was laid this afternoon. Presi-
nt Roosevelt attended anil iniido the
nncipal address of tho day.
The president said:
It is not too mueh to say that tho
ent ejjmmcinorated by tho monument
hieh we have como here to dedicate
as one of those rare events which can
i good faith he called of world itn--rtance.
The coming hither of the
iViritnn three centuries ngt shaped the
'stinies of this continent, and there
re profoundly affected the destinv of
c whole world. Men of other raees,
'to t renchmnn and tho Spaniard, the
mtchman, the German, the Scotchman,
nd the Swede, innilo sottlcinonts within
liat is now the United Statos, during
no Colonial poriod of our history and
i-ofore tho Declaration of Intlcpend-
nce; and since thon there has been an
er swelling immigration from Ireland
ml from the mainland of Europe; hut
was the Englishman who sottled in
lrginia and the Englishman who set-
d in Massachusetts who did most in
naping the lines of our national dovel-
I ment.
We can not ns a nation ho too pro-
-udly grateful for tho fact that the
''untan has stamped his influonco so
eply on our national life. Wo need
avo but scant pationco with tho mon
nho now rail at tho Puritan's faults.
They were ovident, of course, for it
s a quality of strong natures that their
' ulings, like their virtue, should stand
it in bold relief; but there is nothing
asier than to belittle tho great men of
tip past by dwelling only on tho points
where they como short of the univers
ally recognized standards of tho pres
ent. Men must be judged with rafer
nce to tho ago in which they dwell, and
ip work they have to do. Tho Pur-
'an's task was to conquer a continent;
-i merely to overrun it, but to settle
. to till it, to build upon it a high
'lustrial and social life; and, while
agaged in tho rough work of taming
up shaggy wilderness, at that very
me also to lay deep tho immovable
' -undatios of our whole American sys-
in of civil, Kilitical, and religion?
.liprty achieved through the orderly
rocoss of law. This was tho work
loted him to do; this is tho work he
l, and only a master spirit among
m-n could have dono it.
Credit to Puritans
We have traveled far since his day.
That liberty of conscience which lie-'-nded
for himself, wo now realize
ist be as freely accorded to others
it is resolutely insisted ujioii for
.rselves. The splendid qualities which
left to his children, wo other Amer
ans who are not of Puritan blood also
aim as our heritage. You, sons of
'w Puritans, and we, who are descend
I from races whom tho Puritans would
ao deemed alien wo nro all Amcr
ans together. We all feel the 'same
rule in tho genesis, in the history, of
ar peoplo; and therefore tho shrino of
I'uritnnism is ono at which wo all gath
r to pay homage, no matter from what
untry our ancestors sprang.
Wo have- gained somo things that the
'untan had not wo of this generation,
of the twentieth century, hero in
ms great republic; but wo aro also in
inger of losing certain things which
p Puritan had and which wo can by
manner of means afford to lose. Wc
o gained a joy of living which he
id not, and which it is a good thing
r every people to have and to (level
Let us see to it that wo do not lose
hat is more important still; that we
not lose the Puritan's iron sense
f duty, his unbending, unflinching will
do tho right as it was given him to
' tho right. It is a good thing that
fp should gain in sweetness, but only
ided that it does not lose in
ongth. Ease and rest and pleasure
p good things, but only if they come
the reward of work well done, of
good fight well won, of strong effort
solutcly made and crowned by high
Hicvement. Tho Hfo of mere picas-
' of mere effortless ease, is as ig
ble for a nation as for an individual.
p man is but a poor father who
to lies his sons that easo and pleasure
iuld be their chief objects in life;
p woman who is a mcro potted toy,
apnblo of serious purpose, shrinking
r"in effort and duty, is moro pitiable
an tho veriest overworked drudge.
But a Poor Leader
So ho is but a poor leader of tho people
it a poor national adviser, who seeks
make tho nation in any way sub-
linate effort to ease, who would teach
' people not to prizo as tho greatest
ssing tho choice to do any work, no
'ittcr how hard, if it becomes their
ty to do it. To tho sons of tho Pur-
ms it is almost needless to say that
" lesson above all others which Fur-
niism can teach this nation is tho
1 importance of tho resolute perform-
po of duty. If wo aro mon wo will
iss by with contemptuous disdain
iko tho advisors who would seok to
nd us into tho paths of ignoblo case
ul those who would teach us to admire
iccessful wrongdoing. Our ideas
oould bo high, and yet they should bo
qiablo of achievement in practical
ishion; and wo are as littlo to bo ex-
iscd if wo permit our ideals to bo
aintcd with what is sordid and mean
ud base, as if wo allow our power of
hievement to atrophy and become
'ther incapable o.f effort or capable
dy of such fantastic effort as to ac
complish nothing of pormuuont good.
The true doctrine to preach to this na
tion, as to the individuals composing
this nation, is not the life of ease, but
tho life of effort. If it wore in my
power to promise tho peoplo of tho
land anything, I would not promise
them pleasure. 1 would promise them
that stern happiness which comes from
the sense of having done in practical
fashion a dillioult work which was
worth doing.
Puritan Had Initlativo
The Puritan owed his extraordinary
success in subduing this continent and
making it tho foundation for n social
life of ordered liberty primarily to the
fact that he combined in a very re
markable degreo both tho power of in
dividual initiative, of individual self
help, and tho power of acting in coin
bination with his follows; and that
furthermore ho joined to a high heart
that shrewd common sense which saves
a man from tho besetting sins of tho
visionary and tho doctrinaire. Ho was
stout hearted and hard headed. He had
lofty purposes, but ho had practical
good sense, too,, Ifo could hold his own
in the rough workaday world without
clamorous insistence upon being helped
by others, and yet ho could combine
with others whenever it becaino neces
sary to do a job which could not bo
as well done by any one man individ
ually. These woie the qualities which en
abled him to do his work, and they are
tho very qualities vhioli we must "show
in doing our work today. Thoio is no
use in our coming here to pay homage
to the men who founded this nation un
less wo first of all como in tho spirit
of trying to our work today as they
did in the yesterdays that havo vanish
ed. The problems shift from generation
to generation, but tho spirit in which
they must be aproached, if thoy are to
be successfully solved, remains eer the
same. The Puritan tamed the wilder
ness, and built up a free government
on tho stump-dotted clearings amid tho
primeval forest. His descendants must
try to shape tho life of our complex
industrial civilization by now devices,
by now methods, so as to achieve in the
end the samo results of justice and fair
dealing toward all. Ho cast aside noth
ing old morely for tho sako of innova
tion, yet he did not hesitate to adopt
anything now that would save his pur
pose. When ho -planted his common
wealths on this rugged const ho faced
wholly new conditions nnd ho had to
doviso now mothods of meeting thorn.
So we of today faco wholly new condi
tions in our social and industrial life.
Wo should certainly not adopt any
new schomo for grappling with them
mcorly because it is now and untried;
but wo can not afford to shrink from
grappling with them because they can
only bo grappled with by some" new
scheme.
Moro Than Practical
Tho Puritan was no Laodicean, no
laissez-fairo theorist. Whon lie saw
conduct which was in violation of his
rights of tho rights of man, tho rights
of God. as ho understood thorn he at
tempted to regulate such conduct with
instant, unquestioning promptness and
effectiveness. If there was no other
way to seenre effiiionnity with the rule
of right, thon he smote down the trans
gressor with the iron of his wrath. Tho
spirit of the Puritan was a spirit which
never shrank from regulation of con
duct if such regulation was necessary
for tho public weal; nnd this is tho
spirit which wo must show today when
ever it is necessary.
Tho utterly changed conditions of
our national life necessitates changes
in certain of our laws, of our govern
mental methods. Our federal system
of government is based ukiii tho theory
of leaving to each community, to each
state, tho control over those things
which affect only its own members and
which tho peoplo of tho locality them
solves can best grapple with, whilo pro
viding for national regulation in thoso
matters which necessarily affect tho
nation as a whole. It seems to me that
such questions as national sovereignty
and state's rights need not be treated
empirically or academically, but from
tho standpoint of tho interests of the
people as a whole. National sovereign
ty is to bo uphold in so far as it means
tho sovereignty of tho people used for
tho real and ultimate good of tho peo
ple; and state's rights aro to bo upheld
in so fa,r as thoy mean tho people's
rights. Especially is this truo in deal
ing with tho relations of tho peoplo as
a whole to tho great corporations which
nro tho distinguishing feature of mod
ern business conditions.
Must Control Vast Fortunes

essary to exerciso a far more efficient
control than at present over tho busi

SAN r-'KANCISCO, Cal., August 20.
The first act for tho carrying out of
tho promise to clean up tho depart
ments of tho municipal government was
performed today by Mayor Taylor when
ho sent to Police Commissioners Hag
orty, Wallon, Finn and Moore a notifi
cation of their removal from office. A
sepaiatc notification was addressed to
each and the four documents delivered
at a session of the board in tho city
hall. They wore allowed to lie on tho
desk until tho three commissioners in
attondauce, Finn, Wall en nnd Moore,
transacted routine business.
Tho absence of Hagerty was remarked
and a story went tho rounds that he
Was "in hiding to avoid notice of re
moval. ' '
No Attention to Notico
Tho board went into conference in
an anteroom behind closed doors, where
Hagerty was nNvaiting them. At 4
o'clock Finn, Wallon and Moore re
turned to tho board room and an
nounced to tho newspaper men that
they had received notification of re
moval, but would pay no attention to
it. Finn, speaking for himself and
associates, said:
"Tho mayor assumes to romovo us
for cause, alleging among other thing3
that wo aro not fit to servo becauso wc
havo refused to oust Chief of Polico
Dinan.
"We will pay no attention to Tay
lor's communication. Wc will continue
to be the board of police commission
ers until the courts put us out, if they
over do. That is tho only removing
authority that we will recognize."
"What will you do if the mayor's
new board comes hero and attempts to
take possession of tho records and sup
plant youf" was asked.
"Leavo that to us," ho answered.
Will Uso Forco
It was learned that the commissioners
are supported by Dinan and have de
cided to "uso force of necessary" to
prevent their successors from assuming
office nnd that if an attempt is mado to
soizo tho records, Dinan purposes to
call in tho bluccoats and eject "all
trespassers."
Taylor's notice of removal reads as
follows:
"You havo retained in ofllco as
chief of polico Jeremiah F. Dinan, who
has been, and is, notoriously unfit for
said office. Ho has shown himself to
bo lacking in that character of effi
ciency which is necessary for one to
possess in order to properly discharge
his duties in office. Ho is now and has
been ever since ho assumed office an
associato of persons of low character,
and does not possess either the respect
nor confidence of his subordinates. Ho
is utterly lacking in either tho dispo
sition or energy necessary to deal with
the criminal class of tho city.
Poor Work of Chief
"Ho kept a largo nunibor of patrol
men in districts where they wero not
needed instead of detailing then! where
they wero needed. Ho has taken no
effective means to suppress houses of
prostitution in tho respectable residence
districts and such houses arc now main
tained there.
"Ho allowed such houses to flaunt
themselves in tho open whilo under him
that disciplino has" been relaxed with
out which tho polico forco ceases to
be an instrument of order.
"Resides all this, Dinan has boon
and is now under two separate indict
ments charging willful and corrupt mis
conduct in office.
"Notwithstanding such accusations,
you did not suspend Dinan, nor have
you mado a public investigation of tho
charges mado against him.
Knew "All Thcso Things"
"You, knowing all thcso things and
having full knowlcdgo of tho lack of
qualifications of Dinan, havo insisted
in.retaining him. You havo well known
and do now well know that houses of
prostitution not only flaunt themselves
in tho open, but aio maintained in
respectable resideuco districts. AVith
out good reason you maintained permits
for liquor which for good reasons havo
been revoked.
"Complaints havo been laid boforc
you of tho keeping of disorderly houses
by porsons licensed by you to sell liquor
and thoso complajnts you declined to

"You havo well known and do now
well know tho oxistenco of pool rooms

Your executive committco begs leave
to report that after considerable discus
sion on the matter referred to it, name
ly tho regulation of dues of the mem
borship of tho chamber, and after duo
consideration had been given the vari
ous suggestions mado at the last meet
ing of the board, that your committee
have decided upon tho folowing plan:
That tho membership fee remain at
$10; that the annual dues for members
be $12 a year, payable quarterly in nd
vance, beginning October 1. This shnll
bo tho minimum amount of dues, but
as with even a membership of two hun
dred tho amount secured would not pay
tho actual expenses of a live organiza
tion, wo respectfully submit tho fol
lowing method for securing tho neces
sary amount:
That a committee bo appointed to
make a canvass of tho city for tho dou
ble purpose of securing additional mem
bers and to ascertain what amount will
bo pledged, in nddition to tho regular
dues, by such citizens, business firms
or corporations, fo whom will accrue
tho greatest benefits from the advance
ment of tho city, such amounts as
pledged to bo paid in quarterly instal
ments. Your committee believes that
no ono who has tho best interests of
tho city and district at heart will rcfuso
to contribute generously to the mainten
ance of the chamber of commerco and
wo cito tho fact that at times past
more than enough to maintain a cham
ber of commerce for a year has been
raised by subscription in a few days.
Local prido and patriotism prompted
these subscriptions and wo believe that
at least a similar amount can be raised
annually for an object of such recog
nized merit as the one which wo aro
engaged in promiting nt the present

State Printer Shannon was the chief
witness today before tho legislative

He was closely questioned by Assem
blyman Jury of San Mateo, who was
primed with statistical information and
data bearing on Shannon's conduct in
office.
Tho meeting was marked by several
retorts of a sharp nature from Shannon
to Jury. Some of Jury's inquiries were
of an exceedingly personal nature. His
determination to get at facts riled the
stato printer during tho first part of
tho morning session. After that mat

Estadillo was examiner in chief and
he asked Shannon if he knew II. B.

but that he did not know his present
whereabouts. Shannon said that Ilick
ok worked in tho printing ofllco for
a while, but that ho was worthless, that
ho slept in saloons and did not do much
work. Es'tudillo asked Shannon if
Ilickok was not in San Mateo at tho

ho did not know. Estudillo wanted to
know if Ilickok had not visited San
Mateo for a purpose. Shannon an

Mateo and that he was living in the
best hotel there, as a man with unlim

gether reassuring. He stated that his
visit here was not limited as to timo
and that ho would remain until he be
came fully acquainted with present con
ditions at the property, the magnitude
of recent ore developments nnd the pro
gress of construction work.
To Install New Furnace
Concerning the company's plans for
further expansion, President Smith
stated that the next important addition
to the smelting plant designed to in
crease the production of copper would
bo a revcrberatory furnace for treating
the fines flue dust and slag, and steps
have already been taken to install this
furnace during the coining fall or early
winter.
Another wafer jacket furnace will
also bo erected as a reserve, to insure -the
continuous operation of five stacks .
and permit of repairs being made on
ono furnace at any time without reduc
ing the output of copper, which bhould
average about 3,500,000 pounds month
ly. The construction of another and
larger steel stack find an additional
dust chaniber will bo deferred until
such time as the further enlargement
of the smelter is deemed advisable.
New Electric Plant
The plans and specifications for a
central electrical power plant have been
completed by Engineer Langton, who,
with Dr. L. D. Hickctts, visited Globe
two months ago on that business. Pres
ident Smith is not informed as to the
details of the engineer's report, which -
had not been received at the Roston
office when he left, but was daily ex
pected. The plant will have a capacity
more than sufficient to meet all require
ments for electricity, not only for tho
Old Dominion proper, but the power will
be transmitted to the Grey and Buckeye
shafts to run tho hoists and other ma
chinery. It will be the largest and
finest electrical plant yet installed any
where in Arizona. Included in com
prehensive plans for tho more extensive
operation and development of the Old
Dominion property arc the installation
of the new pumping plant of S,000,000
gallons capacity and enlargement of
the. smelter power plant and construc
tion of tho high line railroad from the
smelter to connect with tho G. V. G.
& N. at Banker's garden.
Asked as to the company's intentions
in regard to the distribution of divi
dends, President Smith stated that tho
payment of dividends would depend
largely upon tho price of copper, but
that the statement recently published
in an eastern financial paper that Old
Dominion would be able to continue to
pay quarterly dividends of $1 per share
on an IS-cent copper market was prob
ably true. The profits derived from
tho sales of copper during the past year ,
have largely gone into new construction
and for the purchase of immense quan
tities of supplies. These extraordin
ary expenses will soon be over and tho
company will then bo enabled to accu
mulate a reserve fund of goodly propor
tions. SENATOR PLATT IS
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
This Time United States Ex

Are Aggressors
NEW YORK, August 20. Charges
by certain shareholders of tho United
States Express company that thero has
been misadministration of the com
pany's affairs from Senator Piatt, pres
ident 'of tho company, were published
today. Piatt states that tho earnings
of the last six months have decidedly
fallen off and an increase of dividend
is unwarranted.
Lydo Stetson, ono of tho directors,
said today that tho Wells Fargo and
American companies obtained their
holding in the United States company
in tho open market instead of by pur
chaso from tho company, as charged by
the company shareholders' committee.
