CHICAGO, HI., Oct. 30. President
Taft surprised his hearers at the din

'what many consider an admission that
the republicans might meet defeat in
the coming national election. The
Tepublicans present hastened to as
cribe the utterances .of the president
as due to weariness after his long
tour. The president left for Pittsburg
tonight. He said:
""We are at what some think' a
crisis in the republican party with
reference to its continued guidance of
the affairs of the nation. I am hope

thing when they see it and have only

on the coming consistory at which
seventeen cardinals, including three
Americans, are to be created continue
to emphasize the great significance of
Pope Pious' decision in granting
America four representatives in the
sacred college. By some it is assert

the advent of an American Pope when
it is seen no longer necessary that
the papacy should be held by an
Italian. It is stated that America
now holds the greatest number of
Catholics of any country of the world
and is also the greatest in deep religi

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30 The proposed
plan for the reorganization of the
American Tobacco company submitted
by the company to the government
was both praised and condemned to
day before the .Federal Circuit court
judges of the Southern New York
district. After Attorney General
Wickersham gave the government's
answer to the plan counsel for the
company pleaded for the acceptance
of the proposal. The attorney general
declared that the plan would restore
the company's compliance with the
law. The plan provides for four
segregated companies to be operated
independently.
Joseph' H. Cboate appeared ,in favor
of the plans. Ho said they' were sin
cere and thought the subject of the
alteration order would protect the
property rights of the citizens. The
ndependent dealers, however, have
unanimously denounced the plan, de
clare that it will not break up the
trust, not restore competition, and is
a sham proposal to segregate the
trust which will still be controlled
by the same coterie as now controls
it. Attorney General Wickersham
will be heard tomorrow.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 30. Several
thousand mine owners, superintendents
and miners from all parts of the coun
try, principally, however, from the
coal mining districts of the east and
middle west, attended the opening'
here today of the great national mine
safety demonstration, arranged under
the joint auspices of the Bureau of
Mines, the American Red Cross and
the Pittsburg Coal Operators' associ
ation. The demonstration, the first
of its kind ever held in this country,
will continue through tomorrow, and
the presence of President Taft will
lend additional interest to the other
wise less sensational program of the
second day.
The two days' demonstration which
began today, was arranged by the
newly established Bureau of Mines
for the purpose to demonstrate to
those actively engaged in the mining
industry the dangers of certain com
mon practices in mine work and the
fallacy of long established theories as
to the causes of mine explosions. It
is hoped that, by thus bringing the
result of the studies and experiments
of the experts of the bureau before
the very eyes of the mine, owners,
superintendents and miners, they will
be taught a valuable lesson which
will have a tendency to prevent many
mine disasters and loss of life.
Shortly after its establishment the
Bureau of Mines acquired some coal
land at Bruceton, twelve miles from
Pittsburg, and there started an ex

Supreme Court Decides In
Favor of Lower Court
In Alabama Case
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON", D. C, Oct. 30.
Complete control of all railroads in
the country by the Interstate Com
merce commission and the virtual
elimination of all state commissions
from such control is forshadowed in
the opinion handed down by the Su
preme court today. The court held
that hereafter all locomotives, acrs,
and other equipment used by any rail
road which is a highway of interstate
commerce must comply with the Fed
eral Safety Appliance act. Further,
the court held that the equipment of
roads, even if engaged in transporta
tion within the confines of a state
must bo considered as a part of the
road, if the road runs outside of that
state, and therefore completely under
the jurisdiction of the commission.
Members of the commission are
jubilant at the ruling which was un
animous. The decision came in the
case of the government against the
Southern railway and was read by
Justice Vandeventer. The point at
issue was whether the Federal act
applied to a case in shipment from
one point in Alabama to another in
the same state, the shipment being
in an improperly equipped car. The
lower fourt held 'the road vielated the
law and its decision was upheld by
the Supreme court.
perimental mine for the purpose of
testing various theories in regard to
the causes of mine" explosions. The
most important part of today's dem
onstration took place at the Bruceton
mine, where in the presence of the
assembled miners representing practi
cally every mining state in the union,
a mine explosion was enacted by the
experts of the Bureau of Mines.
The Bureau of Mines has long been
of the opinion that coal dust in a
mine is a greater menace to the lives
of the miners than gas and that by
far the greatest majority of mino
explosions is due to the ignition and
explosion of coal dust by "blow
out" shots, that is blasts which do
not rend the rock or coal, but blow
out the packing and send a jet of
flame into tho mine, which causes the
coal dust suspended in the air of the
mine to explode. The experts of the
Bureau tested their theory by numer
ous experiments in the steel tube at
the experiment station in this city
and having became thoroughly con
vinced of the correctness of their
theory, decided to convince the mine
workers by an actual demonstration
of the fallacy of their belief that
coal dust would not explode.
The demonstration was made as
realistic as it could be made under
the circumstances. After the explo

Judge Bordwell Accuses Attorneys For
The McNamara Defense of Trying

By Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 30.
Judge B6rdwell today accused the at
torneys for James B. McNamara of
trying to circumvent his railings- and
rejected two challenges against tales
men which he formed as the basis for
his supposition. Also he refused the
defense the privilege to challenge a
talesman who said he would not con
vict on circumstantial evidence alone,
the court holding that this challenge
was available to the state alone. The
judge's opinion came in the cases of
Frampton and Winter, who declared
they believed McNamara guilty of
murder, but because they obtained
the opinion by reading and common
