HERMAN RIDDER ADDRESSES
LETTER TO PRESIDENT
SAYS EXECUTIVE HAS MADE SE
RIOUS BLUNDER
Designing Agents of" Trust Alleged
to Have Induced Nation's
Ruler to Reverse His
Attitude
[By Associated Press. 1
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—President Taft
apparently was led into a serious
blunder in the closing days of
the recent session of congress when
he changed his attitude on the print
paper schedule, according to an open
letter addressed to the chief executive
and signed by Herman Ridder of New
York, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers' association.
Mr. Bidder's letter was written some
time ago and was made public today,
following its Indorsement by the In
land Daily Press association.
Mr. Kidder's letter is as follows:
"To the President: The full text of
your address at Winona, Minn., on the
tariff bill has just come to hand. With
tlie utmost respect we submit that
your statement respecting the paper
schedule shows that you could not
have correctly read or understood
what the print paper paragraph con
tained as it passed the house of rep
resentatives.
Apparently Misled
"You were apparently misled by de
signing men into a serious blunder
when in the closing days of the tariff
conference they Induced you to re
verse your previous attitude upon
print paper and changed your notions
of what the Mann committee recom
mended and of what the house of rep
resentatives had approved.
"The Mann committee, after a ten
months' investigation, marked by un
usual thoroughness, reported that a
rate of $2 would cover the difference
U\ cat of productton at home arid
abroad.. The proposed rate absolutely
safeguarded American paper mills
against the serious Canadian tangle
which your advice to the tariff con
ferees has since precipitated.
"The fixing of the rate on print pa
per at $3.75 per ton, which you advised,
j has decided the province of to
I prohibit the exportation of its pulp
wood and many American paper mills
must close or move to Canada to ob
tain their supplies of raw material.
Trade War Imminent
"The country is now in a fair way
for a trade war with Canada because
of your apparent failure correctly to
read the Mann committee's recommen
dations.
"We are threatened with an indus
trial disturbance which will Involve
business interchanges with Canada
amounting to $285,,000,000 per annum.
"We sincerely trust you can find
some method of rectifying the mistake
into which you were led. We fully
appreciate the difficulties and respon
sibilities of your exalted office and we
believe you are trying to do the best
I you can.
"We know you must rely upon others
for your information. We feel that
every citizen is under obligation to
, help you. Therefore we write this
letter to you.
"Yours respectfully,
, (Signed) "HERMAN RIDDER,
"President American Newspaper
Publishers' association."

TELLS TALE OF CRUEL
MASSACRE ON OCEAN
VICTORIA. B. C, Oct. 19.—Further
details of the massacres in New
Britain early last month briefly
reported In Sydney cables received by
the steamer Marina today are to the
effect that Capt. Lindsay of the ketch
Rabaul and ten of his crew were mur
dered and burned, and the trading ves
sel looted and set fire, the bodies of
some of the victims being thrown into
the flames.
The steamer Lanecog, which re
turned from the New Britain group
shortly before the -Manna sailed, re
ported the occurrence. Her officers
said Capt. Lindsay, owner and master
of the Rabaul, and who was promi
nent' in the New Britain trade, was
off the east coast of New Britain about
200 miles from Herbertshone, recruit
ing labor, and that about sundown
when he anchored his ship for the
night, a swarm of natives came off
and the blacks asked that he come
ashore as plenty of men were ready
to sign on as laborers.
Opt Lindsay went ashore and was
escorted to a big native house where
about 100 blacks were gathered. A»
soon as he" stepped in he was struck
down from behind with a spear, and
the blacks sprang upon him with
knives. V

LOS ANGELES received about ten
scjhare miles of additional terri
tory and nearly 10,000 new popu
lation into the city limits yesterday by
an election at which 6693 votes were
cast. More opposition was manifested
in the annexed territory than in the
city, and the harbor precincts outdid
themselves in •welcoming the new ter
ritory into the city, voting by 23 to 1
for annexation.
The election was a quiet one because
of the general feeling that there would
be no opposition In the city, and little
was expected in the annexed territory
outside of that expressed by Frank G.
Tyrell and his friends, who, he said,
thought the city government of Los
Angeles Incompetent. Postmaster Mot
ley Flint and other citizens living in
the "west end" worked hard to see that
as favorable a vote as possible was
brought ou:. Mr. Flint watched the
receiving of the returns at the city
clerk's office last night until convinced
the majority was decisive, when he
gave a big sigh of relief, and everybody
congratulated him.
Returns in Early
All the returns excoat, those from
Terminal precinct were received by
Charles L. Wilde, chief deputy clerk,
and the others of the city clerk's force,
and totaled before 8:30 o'clock. There
was greater interest in the results from
the harbor precincts than in the rest of
the city, as much curiosity was ex
pressed In the first expression at the
polls of San Pedro and Wilmington as
part of Ixis Angeles. The total vote In
the five harbor precincts was 205 for to
9 against annexation.
"Everybody in Los Angeles will cer
tainly be glad to hoar of the annexa
tion of this new territory," said Mayor
George Alexander last night. "It Is a
distinct addition toward a greater Los
Angeles, and we get a splendidly built
up territory and as fine a lot of people
as could bo asked for. I am very glad
to know that annexation carried, al
though there was no doubt as to the
result."
Annexation movements will now be
taken up by Hollywood, Huntington
Park and Euclid Heights, the latter In
cluding Belvidere and Laguna. Meet-
Ings are already planned in Hunting
ton Park, to which Miramonte precinct
will probably be annexed before the
election in Los Angeles is asked for.
The sentiment In the Euclid Heights
neighborhood, which Is thickly popu
lated, Is also strong for annexation.
Hollywood Next
"Ninety-nine per cent of the people
of Hollywood are ready to come into
Los Angeles," said a Hollywood man
last night. "We wish first to dispose of
bonds for a Polytechnic high school,
which would be hard to obtain as a
part of the city, and as soon as that is'
done the question of annexation will be
taken up. Within four months, with
Los Angeles willing, Hollywood will be
part and parcel of the big city.
"It should be remembered that Holly
wood will bring practically all street

He fell bleeding from scores of
wounds, and was hacked to death. The
body was then dragged out to the
beach by the heels and burned. The
flotilla of canoes then went off to tha
Rabaul and blacks swarmed aboard.
One after another the ten men of the
crew were slaughtered. Then while
they lay, some dead, some mortally
wounded, on the deck, a raid was made
on the stores, and kerosene poured over
the deck and in the holds, making the
ship a funeral pyre for the mundered
men. Ship and victims were com
pletely destroyed.
Some natives reported the occurrences
to the Lanecog, which at once
steamed for Herbertslume and report
ed it. A German punitive expedition
was being prepared when the Laneeog
left the islands.
A report was also brought from the
islands that the French recruiting
ketch Gaudeloupe, of 40 tons, was at
tacked and wrecked t>y blacks in New
Hebrides at the same time, at Mallieele,
and the French captain and native crew
of eight massacred, but no confirma
tion had been received.
A wireless message from H. M. S.

natives o£ the Guadeloupe had been
killed, but the captain and other mem
bers were said to have escaped.

SEEKS BELL BOY
HEIR TO THRONE
MAN IN DENVER ON TRAIL OF
ROYAL REFUGEE
Stranger In Colorado, Evidently Sup
plied with Funds, Tells Pecul
iar Story of Quest for
Incognito Ruler
[By Associated Press.]
DENVER, ...Colo., Oct. 19.—An heir
to the throne" of Servia is working as
a "bell hop" somewhere between Den
ver and San Francisco, if the story told
the head of a detective agency in this
city is true.
Although there is some skepticism as
to the truth of the story told the
agency official, the fact that the man
who engaged his services is plentifully
supplied with funds and stops not at
cost convinces him that the stranger
has some authority to act.
A week ago a man giving the name
of M. Wilswlch employed the detective
agency mentioned to locate Michael
O'Brien, said to be a son of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga, former rulers
of Servia who were murdered by con
spirators in their palace in Belgrade.
He claimed that O'Brien's real name
is Michael Obrenovitch, and that he
was brought to America to escape the
dangers caused by the marriage of
Alexander and Draga, which almost
precipitated a revolution In Servia.
For a time he was cared for by a
faithful servant of the Obrenovitchs,
who located at Newark, N. J., with his
charge and lived there until his pen
sion was cut off by the death of Alex
ander.
Since then no information concern
ing the reputed son had been forthcom
ing until a friend told of having met
him recently working as a bell boy.
This friend knew him in Chicago, where
It la said O'Brien worked at the Aud
itorium hotel. Later he came west, and
is believed to have drifted to Denver
and possibly on to San Francisco.

Ferrer's death warrant will'be sent "to

[By Auoolaleci Preu.l '.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.~
Resolutions firmly Re
nouncing the "murdfer
of P'rancisco Ferrer, the Spanish
revolutionist" who was con
demned by court martial and shot
in Barcelona, were adopted at to
day's session of the executive
council of the American Federa
tion of Labor. Ferrer was re
ferred to as a martyr.
"We, in our personal behalf as
well as in the name of America's
workers and the whole people,"
the resolutions declare, "express
our intense indignation, horror
and strongest protest against the
murder of Francisco Ferrer by
direction of the Spanish govern
ment."
Taken In connection with the action
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia in sentencing President Gora
pers Secretary Morrison and John
Mitchell of the Federation to serve
terms in jail for contempt of court,
the concluding paragraph of the reso
lution is looked upon as significant.
Military Murder
It declares that: "We take this oc
casion of the military murder of a man
whose real offending was speaking,
writing and teaching humanity to be
come more wise, more free and more
liberty loving, to remind the people of
our country that the liberty of the
citizens is only secure when trial by
jury and in open court for any al
leged offense involving punishment is
guaranteed."
The resolutions declare "the cause of
free speech, free press and free educa
tion has found In Ferrer another mar
tyr the more regrettable in an age
when civilization boasts of having re
placed the tortures and brutality of
mediaevulism by freedom and enlight-
entnent."
Prof. Ferrer, It Is declared, will take
rank with all those who have done
the greatest service for humanity.
Noble Company
"A noble company of matyrs and a
cause In which a man might well give
his life," the resolutions continue, "did
tyranny require it.
"Like Jefferson, Washington and
Lincoln of our own country, he labored
and taught and suffered that the people
might have wisdom and be worthy of
freedom."
Declaring: that though Ferrer suf
fered the ultimate penalty of a shame
ful death at the hands of those who
rulo in the doctrine of the "divine
right of kings" the belief is tarptf
that the sacrifice was not in vain.
In its preamble to the resolutions,
the council says the execution of Prof.
Ferres has arroused the strongest in
dignation of all just liberty-loving and
broadminded men of the civilized
world.
