NO CONSPIRACY

*
President’s Record Shows That
He Is Responsible for
Mistakes.
ADMINISTRATION RECORDS
SHOW MANY ERRORS
Tariff Bill, Pinchot Controversy
and Other Issues Are
Involved.
[Special to the Newark fcfiar.]
WASHINGTON, D. <?., Aug. 4.—With
the extra session of the Sixty-second
Congress drawing rapidly to a close,
and with the passage by both Houses
of legislation which seems to be In ac
cord with the verdict returned at the
polls in the congressional election last
November, numerous of the stand-pat
leaders in tne House and Senate are
making the extraordinary charge that
there is a conspiracy on the part of In
surgent Republicans and Democrats "to
put President Taft In a hole.”
That the legislative record of the
present session of Congress Is full of
political material for future use no one
will deny, but that .he legislative pro
gram thus far worked out constituted
the basis of a conspiracy against Presi
dent Taft Is regarded us ludicrous lu.
Impartial observers of affairs in Wasii
Ington.
Democrat,, Anxious For Record.
The Democrats are naturally anxious
to make a record during this and the
following session of Congress which
will enable them to go to the country
In the presidential campaign of 1911)
tvlth a reasonable hope of success.
Practically every Insurgent In the
House and Senate Is opposed to another
nomination for President Taft. They
sincerely believe that he cannot be re
elected, and from their point of view
the only hope for 'he Republican party
rests in the nominal.on of u progres
sive Republican.
Insurgent Republicans resent the
charge of conspiracy, and they are
prepared to produce the record of
President Taft s adminlstatlon to prove
that the President is alone responsible
iur tne embarrassment which sur
rounds him on every hand. It is ou
this record, as compared with the rec
ord of the insurgent Republicans, from
March 4, 1908, down to date that will
form the basis for the light for dele
gates to the next Republican national
convention.
Blinders at Opening of 9easloa.
The Insurgent argument will beg'n
with the extra session of Congress
called by President Taft Immediately
after his inauguration. In the preced
ing election the tariff was the great Is
sue, and as a candidate Mr. Taft re
peatedly declared himself to be In
favor of a substantial downward re
vision. The President would have been
•Me to comply with the rplrlt and let
ter of his campaign promises had he
oast bis lot with the progressive mem
bers of his party Instead of accepting
tbs advice of Senator Aldrich and other
high protectionists who framed the
existing tariff law.
The Payne-Aldrich law. the direct
cause of Democratic success at the
polls last November, could have been
< defeated In the House had not the
President at the last moment sum
moned to the White House member af
ter member who was ready to vote
against the bill, and urged them to
vote for It. The President’s pleadings
won over enough members to Insure
the passage of the bill.
Another unfavorable incident In the
early history of the administration,
and one which was only second In Im
portance to the tariff In the last Con
gressional compalgn, was “Cannon
Ism.” The members of the House who
had been fighting to free that body
from the small clique headed by Can
non, had definite assurances from Mr.
Taft, then sojourning at flot Springs,
Va., that he would lend his influence
to their cause. At the last moment,
however, the President went over to
the Cannon forces, and he remained
with t’ em throughout the Sixty-first
Congress.
The only way to judge whether the
President was right is to observe the
changed conditions at the Capitol to
day. Nelson W. Aldrich and Bugene
Hale, the arch-high priests of protec
tion, are no longer members of the
Ufclted States Senate. Joseph G. Can
non not only lost the speakership but
his party lost control of the House.
The question of whether the President
was right on the tariff Is best Indicated
by the fact that the Democratic House
is now writing, and a Republican Sen
ate is now passing, bills to revise a
tariff law which hafT been on the stat
ute books considerably less tjian two
years.
Bnlllnger-IMnchot Scandal.
Next in Importance to the tariff and
Cannonlsm was the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy and the resulting scandal.
The President’s friends now recognize
that his course In that matter hurt
him in every part of the country. Un
doubtedly the President now realizes
his mistake, for Ballinger Is no longer
a member of the cabinet, notwithstand
ing the fact that he declared hig In
tention to remain throughout the ad
mlnistrat; n of President Taft almost
up to the day his resignation was ten
dered and accepted.
The Insurgents did not dig the hole
which contains the Controller Bay
scandal, now under investigation by
the House committee on expenditures
in the interior department. If Ballinger
had not been secretary of the Interior
there would not have been a scandal
about Controller Bay, there would be
no mystery about a ’’Dick to Dick”
letter, and there would be no mystery
about maps missing from the war de
partment which have a very Important
bearing on this case.
The President had a row with the

Miss Harriet Quimby has been licensed as an air pilot. As told in the
Evening STAR recently, she Is the first American woman to achieve this dis
tinction. She is one move ahead of Harry Atwood, who failed to qualify
when in New York recently. Miss Quimby flew her Molssant monoplane
over the Mlneola field, did all fancy stunts required and made her landing
within the limit provided by the rules.

VINEYARD HAVEN. Mass., Aug. 4.
—As the steamer Bunker Hill, bound
from_New York to Boston with 27B
passengers, was proceeding through
Vineyard Sound early today she ran
upon a rock off Nobska Point.
The passengers scrambled upon deck
In their night clothing,-but when they
found there was no Immediate danger
returned to their berths.
The Bunker Hill backed off easily
and, leaking badly, proceeded to Vine
yard Haven harbor. Soon after sun
rise the passengers were transferred
to the steamer Uncatena, of the Nan
tucket, Martha's Vineyard and New
Bedford line, and taken to Woods Hole
and thence to Boston by train.
The Bunker Hill then started for New
Yonk. The ship’s pumps were able to
dispose of the water taken In.
HEALTH BOARD ORDERS
MEAT WAGONS COVERED.
Meat dealers, retail and wholesale,
who attempt to deliver meat uncovered
In Kearny will take chances of arrest.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
last night Commissioner Frank Oden
dahl complained of violations of the
sanitary code in this regard, and the
names of offenders were given to Secre
tary Albert O. Borneman, with Instruc
tions to warn the erring dealers.
State Entomologist John B. Smith
advised the Health Board, us he did the
Town Council some time ago, that It
was useless for the State to waste any
more money *ln dynamiting pools and
ditches to get rid of mosquitoes on the
meadows until the town board does
something toward Improving Frank
creek, which drains the sewage of the
Arlington section and overflows its
banks, leaving mosquito-breeding de
posits on a large area of marshland.
The Health Board will confer with the
Council.
Dr. Harold E. Stearns, veferlnarlan,
reported that the small outbreak of
glanders among some horses In Arling
ton had been promptly checked; and
Health Inspector Albert Geissler stated
that there was but one horse in the
town tagged for contagious disease.
WOMAN STRICKEN ON
STREET BY APPENDICITIS.
Stricken by appendicitis while shop
ping In this city, Mrs Mary Collins,
of 1177 East Grand street, Elizabeth,
was taken to the City Hospital, where,
it Is believed, an operation will be nec
essary- She was found sitting on a

liceman Davidson, of the First pre

SEARCH IN VAIN
TO FIND BAILEY
OF THE TIGERS
Harry Bailey, the Tigers' outfielder
is still among the missing, and Man
ager Joe McGJnnlty and the Tigers are
hunting here and there, day and night,
for the player who became 111 several
days ago.
Bailey was at the ball park Wednes
day and had little to say, but appeared
down In spirits. That was the last seen
of him. The "Iron Man" and several
of the Bengals made a tour of the city
today In his automobile, but was un
able to locate Bailey at any of the hos
pitals.
It is believed now that Bailey has
gone home.
George Smith, In discussing the ease
today, said that he believed Bailey re
turned to his home in Shawnee, a little
town in Ohio. For some time the
Tigers’ second baseman noticed Bailey
brooding over something. "I tried to
cheer him up time and again, but he
seemed to be thinking about his folks
and seemed homesick. He is the making*
of a good ball player, but he will not
make good If he allows -home to take
his mind off the game.
"He seems Just like that sort of a
chap to pack up and get out without
saying a word," concluded George.
At noon today it was decided to re
port Bailey’s disappearance to the po
lice. Manager McGinnlty dreads the
thought that he went to his room and
perhaps lapsed into an unconscious
j state or became so ill that he could not
summon help.
Bailey did not tako meals where he
roomed and that he was conservative
was proven when he never told any of
his teammates his house number. All
he ever said was:
"I live on Broad street, a few ddors
from the railroad."
WASHOUT AND MUD CAUSE
2 FREIGHT DERAILMENTS.
BALTIMORE, Aug. ♦.—A heavy rain
storm last night was responsible for
two freight-train wrecks on the Balti
more and Ohio railroad a few miles
east of this city early today. In
neither case, however.' were there any
casualties.
A washout at Herring Run station
caused the derailment of twenty-five
cars. At Lorely station mud and water
on the tracks threw an engine and
several cars of another freight train
from the rails.
FUTURE CARE OP
BABE BF MYSTERY
IN STATE’S HAND
Police Completely Baffled in
Search for Additional
Information.
PECULIAR PATHOS IN
TOT’S ABANDONMENT.
Mother Had Evidently Given
Child Most Loving
Attention.
With the police completely baffled
as to the Identity of the man or woman
who wheeled the 8-month-old baby boy
to Branch Brook Park Monday .light
and left It sitting In Its go-cart on a
dark turn of the path, the HttL baby's
fate will rest In the hands of the New
Jersey .State Board of Children' Guar
dians.
There is peculiar pathos about th"
abandonment of this baby. The mother
evidently gave him every care. Clean
and wholesome and happy and hungry
when he was discovered, he Is not tli ■
ordinary baby of the slums.
The clothes In which he had been
dressed, while rot of particularly ex
cellent quality, were home-made and
sewn with much care.
How this mother, who had taken
such good care of the little baby for
eight months, could be led or forced
1 to abandon It is a question that may
never be Inswa-red. But there are many
peculiar twists to the story -one stock
ing of much better quality than the
rest of the clothes, the go-wart with the
maker's label under the leathfrette bot
tom cunningly removed, the peculiar
parallelism between this case with that
of a woman who has disappeared. These
Buggest that there Is a story of unusual
developments behind the blank wall
against which the police and reporters
have found themselves.
After the baby has been at the alms
house for a time, Overseer of the Poor
Baldwin will order It to be turned over
to the State Board of Children's
Guardians, which was created for this
purpose.
The baby will be boarded out until a
suitable family Is found willing to
adopt It. And If no one cares to take
the little baby the State board will
pay for Its maintenance out of Its ap
propriation.
“If It's a lovable little buby I don'1
think It will be difficult to find some
one who will want to adopt it,” said
Jared W. Kimball, of the Children's
Aid Society today. "Fnder 4 years old
there Is a considerable demand foi
children.
"Those who apply for a child of that
age wish for Its companionship and
love. The younger the better, they
think, because the child can't remem
j her its past.”
Whether the police find the parents
or not the little baby of mystery at
the almshouse will be well taken care
of. But where the mother Is, and whnl
her future will be, is another question
