Jlayor of Toledo Sees In Combinations -' m. Tendency Toward .'The Co- . Operative Common-wealth.' - Cl'IlCAGO, June 20. Mayor S. M. Jones, f Toledo, In a letter to the Record on trusts says; I "wish to say that I am Inclined to regard the great growth of these organizations within the last few months rather complacently. I believe in a large programme for society. I believe it to be our duty and privilege In this Republic to find a plan big enough to provide for all of the people, and I' see in the growth of trusts an Indication of the growing movementtoward collectivism. I believe in brotherhood. The trust U the American brotherhood (limited.) The trust is preparing the way, showing society the great benefits that may be derived through association In Industry and the great economic value of association, both in production and distribution. An invention that lightens the burden of the world's toilers and makes It possible for one man to do the work of twelve Is called a 'labor-saving machine Does it matter whether the machine is made of wood and iron or composed of organizations and associations of men? If the result is the same It' Is a labor-savins machine. In this sense the trust is a laborsaving machine. The triumph of the trusts is one of the marvels of tne closing years of the nineteenth century', but they are an economic development, strictly in the line of progress, and our problem Is not' how to destroy them, but how to use them for the good ot all. Like their prototype, the labor-saving machinery constructed of wood and iron, they have come to stay. , "What shall we do with the trusts, with the continually increasing armies of unemfloyetf thrown out by these organizations? reply, we must organize government (society) In the Interest of all. for the good of 11 co that we may utilize the economic fide of the trust. We must leave off the word 'limited from tho great American brotherhood that I have referred to and own and operate the trust for the. beneilt of the people as we now own and operate tbe postomce trust. The profit that accrues to the organizations known as trusts belongs to society and may be properly called the- 'increment of associated organizations "Equality of opportunity or botherhood is the goal for which the race Is struggling, and the trust, while purely selfish in its inspiration. Is the expression of the great social spirit now stirring the hearts of the people. The movement toward, municipal ownership, toward public ownership, toward co-operation of evry sort Indicates the Channel through which the people are to come into possession of their own. When they are thoroughly enlightened they will pimply retake in a perfectly orderly way the properties that have passed out of their hands and become private possessions. The people will own and operate their own trust: its name will be the co-operative commonwealth." $100,000,000' INVOLVED. All Street Itallvray Lines of St. Louis to Be Consolidated. ST. LOUIS.. Mo..

MUST WAIT AWHILE

SIERRIAH OT READY TO GIVE OCT IXDIAXAS CENSUS TAKERS. Recommendations Made, hot 'Names Will Xat De Announced Until Fairbanks and Deverldge Return. LATTER SAID TO BE AT SEA REPORTED TO BE BOUXD FOR THE CAROLINE ISLANDS. . Status of the Case of Captain Carter, Convicted of Frandi, Explained by the Attorney General. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. t WASHINGTON. June 20. Director of the Census Merriam to-day reiterated a former statement that recommendations were coming in slowly from congressmen as to whom they desired to have appointed supervisors of census in their various districts. Only a small percentage of the three hundred apportioned -have as yet been received, and as Director Merriam desires to place before the President at an early day the entire list he is extremely anxious that members of Congress come forward at once with their selections. In speaking of Indiana, Director Merriam said that a majority of the recommendations had been made, but he did not now feel at liberty to announce them, as both Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge are away, and until he can consult with them probably nothing of consequence regarding Indiana census positions could be accomplished. Senator Fairbanks before he left Washington in the latter part of May called on Director Merriam and expressed to that official his preferences in the more Important census appointments to be made In Indiana. Senator Beveridge at last accounts was aboard the United States war ship Charleston bound for the Caroline islands, and it is therefore probable it will be many months before he reaches Washington. It is really on account cf the absence of Senator Beveridge that Director Merriam Is reluctant to announce what he may do regarding Indiana census Jobs, and he to-day frankly admitted that owing to the absence of the "Junior senator from Indiana" he did not feel at liberty to take decisive action at this time with regard to certain appointments, meaning, of course, supervisors. Joseph Lv Bell, acting assistant surgeon United States army, now at French Lick, Ind., is ordered to San Francisco to report for duty to the commanding general Department of California for duty, which means that he is destined for duty in the Philippines. It was to-day decided, on the recommendation of Special Inspector William E. Annln, to establish rural free delivery at Franklin. Ind. This service will go. into effect July 5. Frank Hunt. Jr., and William Hunt will be appointed carriers. The. secretary of the interior to-day apportioned $25,000 of funds provided by Congress for support of state agricultural colleges for the Indiana college. II. Law ton, of - Indianapolis, has been awarded the contract to supply furniture to a number -Of public buildings at $3,879. John ilcCafferty, John-L. Wilson and Charles C. Fegan, letter carriers at Washington, Ind., were to-day promoted from $500 to $S50 per annum. Attorney General Griggs was asked by a Post reporter to-day when some decision might be expected in the case of Captain Carter, convicted by court-martial for frauds in connection with the Savannah harbor project. "It would be impossible to answer that question categorically," was the reply. "The case involve an immense amount of testimony and argument and evir since the adjournment of Congress I have been giving It every moment of my spare time, I have taken the papers with me to my home, and even on the railroad cars at night, when I ought to be asleep, I have' been engaged upon them. The President has given mo the very responsible task of determining whether or not Captain Carter has been Justly or unjustly dealt with and I propose to make a thorough Inquiry. I can, therefore, only report progress, although this does not seem to satisfy the newspapers that are clamoring for an immediate decision. The Supreme Court frequently take months, not to say years, in deciding a question, and no criticism is made of its delay." "But it Is said that In this case the statute of limitations will apply If no action is taken by next month?" "That is not true," waa the answer. "The conspiracy to defraud the government, if there was a conspiracy, began in July, August or September, 1S06. Under the law, however, each continuing act Is a part of a conspiracy, and overt acts occurred up to August or September, 1?97. Consequently another year must elapse before the statute of limitations can be successfully pleaded. I am frank to say, though, that even if the statute did become operative at this time, I would not give a Judgment on the case until I had thoroughly convinced myself that the Judgment was an honest and accurate one, no matter how long it might take mc to arrive at a decision. "There Is one thing in this matter that has been overlooked," concluded the attorney general. "The contractors have filed a suit in the Court of Claims for certain money alleged to be due. The government has merely to file a counter claim for money alleged to have been illegally paid, and the whole case can be opened. I have three strings by which we can hold these people, if guilt Is established. First, the sentencing of Captain Carter, or second, the statute of limitations is still open, and third, a counter ult can be entered in the Court of Claims." Patents were issued to Indianlans to-day as follows: Howard U. Ackerman, Indianapolis, clothes wringer: Charles E. Ball. Alexandria, machine for holding glass cylinders while being cut; Charles D. Bowlus, Anderson, buggy Jack: James Charles. Richmond, burner for hydrocarbon liquids; George W. Crowe. Anderson, tile: Francis M. Draper. Dana, acetylene gas generator: Emll Duden.

Lccnard Wood, military Governor of Santiago province, has been offered the presidency of the Washington, Traction and Electric Company, of this city. The company has been formed recently and owns and controls', directly and indirectly, all the street railroads in the District of Columbia, with the exception of the Capital Traction Company. It also owns the two electrlclighl plants. This afternoon General Wood wan In consultation with the people Interested In the new company. He has the matter under advisement. A firm of Chinese merchant at HongKong, through Its attorneys, has submitted to tbs War Department the question of

the validity of duty levied upon American goods shipped from Hong-Kong to Manila. The firm maintains the duty should not be paid first, because the exportation from Hong-Kong took place under assurances given hy thei American consul general at Hons-Kong that the goods, being American, would, so far as he knew, be exempt from duty: secondly, because the. goods were American and no duty should be charged for their admittance to any port under American control, and. thirdly, because from the date of the signing of the protocol on Aug. 12, 1S93, the occupation of the city, bay and harbor of Manila became civil, and not military, and no power existed on the part of any official of the United States to collect duties within that territory. The specific Instance upon which the question is raised was the shipment of 15.0?) cases -of Comet oil and 5.000 bags of American flour from Hong-Kong to Manila. Acting Secretary Melkeljohn and General Wilson, chief of engineers, have decided to Invite proposals from at least fifteen of the prominent bridge builders of the country for the memorial bridge over the Potomac river connecting the Observatory grounds with Arlington. Congress appropriated So.Oft) for the procurement of suitable plans, and It 1j the Intention to purchase the three designs and specifications deemed most meritorious, paying for the first $1,W. for the second $1,200 and for the third $1,000, leaving $1A0 to defray Incidental expenses. The other competitors will be allowed to withdraw their plans. There was a test at Indian Head to-day of armor plate intended for the battle ship Wisconsin, the lot aggregating 700 tons. The test plate tapered fom 1634 Inches to Mi inches In thickness. The first shot, a Carpenter armor-piercer, with a velocity cf 1.370 feet, penetrated the plate 6?i inches. The second, a Holtzer armor-piercer, with a velocity of 1.S0O feet, penetrated 9 Inches. The plate was not cracked and the test was satisfactorily met. The Russian government, from information received by the bureau of navigation, is preparing measures for the early development of its merchant marine. Although there are only twenty-four Russian steamships of over 2,000 tons, and of them only four are over fourteen knots, the Russian government during 1S98 expended over $1,000,000 on its sea-going steamships. To increase its navigation on the Pacific the Russian government for the next ten years will pay Suex canal dues, as the Austrian government has done for some time, on national merchant steamships. The restriction -of the coasting trade of the empire, whether the ports are on the Baltic or Black seas or the Pacific, to Russian vessels will not affect appreciably American navigation, as for the last two years no American vessels have entered this country from or cleared for European Russia, and last year only four American sailing vessels entered from and cleared for Russian ports on the Pacific. Prof. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of Cie Agricultural ' Department, Jias returned from New Tork, where in the past few days he collected a large number of food samples, principally prepared articles which have been shipped to the department laboratory for analysis. Professor Wiley made his purchases in the open market, and. as the storekeepers did not know him, he feels there is no question but that the samples secured are a fair example of the commercial line of the various food preparations In question. The analysts of the samples will form "the basis of discussion for the session of the congressional pure food committee, which will meet in New York in September. Preparations are being vigorously pushed for the Agricultural Department's exhibit of beverages at the Paris exposition next year. The space allotted Is .generous, consideringthe enormous demand from all countries, but It Is not so large as the department desires. A number of American exhibitors would like to fill all the space with their individual display, and it Is necessary to limit applicants. It is hoped to have the majority of this material ready for shipment in December, and requests for representation are being received dally. So great has been the demand for space that the California . wine growers, while they will be represented in the government exhibit, have already engaged a 'house outside of the exposition grounds, where California wines wiy be on exhibition and ready for distribution by sample to the foreign TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.

Recommendations of". Chicago Business 3Ien and Physicians..: - . . rT" - CHICAGO, June 20.-A number of business men and physicians met to-night-at the rooms of the Chicago Medical Society and formed the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Consumption. - Mayor Harrison presided at tho meeting. The object of the association is tho eradication, so far as possible, of the bacilli of consumption from .animals used for human food and from the surroundings of beef and dairy cattle. Figures and statistics were submitted showing the rapid increase of consumption, but it was the opinion of those at the meeting that scientific and . practical work will eventually, check the spread of the disease. Addresses were made by Commissioner of Health A. M. Reynolds. President Bevan, of th3 Medical Society, and others. It vras decided to urge the State Legislature to appropriate a fund adequate to the needs of the State Board of Live Stock Commissioners, this-sum to be probably $"A000 the first year, $30,000 the second and $20,000 tho third; to urge that the commission be empowered to administer the tuberculin test to all cattle In the State, if necessary, against the wishes of owners of cattle; to make it necessary that the commission begin a systematic examination of all cattle In the State, In which all cattle not proving under the tuberculin test to be free from tuberculosis shall be condemned and the owners compensated by the State at the scale of prices fixed by the live stock commissioners: to devise and recommend an efficacious plan for the prevention of the sale of tuberculosis meat in Chicago. John McLareln was elected president of the society. th Ichiro's Water Snpply. CHICAGO, June 30. The question of the Chicago water supply occupied most of the time of the special executive meeting of the State Board of Health held hero to-day. Dr. E. A. Egan, secretary of the board, submitted a plan for establishing d number of stations on the" Desplaines, Illinois and Mississippi rivers, from which samples of water shall be taken and analyzed at regular intervals. The tests will be continued after the drainage canal has been opened to ascertain what difference will be made by turning the sewage of Chicago into the Illinois river. The Infection of dairy herds of the State with tuberculosis was thoroughly discussed. Under the opinion rendered by the attorney general of the State the members of the board are prohibited from making tests for tuberculosis unless they have reason to believe it exists. A resolution was adopted asking the Legislature to give the Board of IJve Stock Commissioners authority to make tests in the dairy herds of the State, and that an appropriation commensurate with the duties thus added to the members of the commission be made. The total sura of $100,000 Is asked for this work. MUSIC TEACHERS' MEETING. National Organisation to Adopt a New Constitution To-Day.

WHAT MR. SCHELL FOUND

EPWORTII LEAGUE PREPARATION'S .OT MOVING SATISFACTORILY. Local Committee Will Have to "Hustle Accommodations Must Be Had. The visit of Edwin A. Schell, of Chicago, general secretary of the International Epworth League, to this city, and the announcement that he will be here a good deal of the time between now and the date of the opening of the convention. July 20, has given rise to quiet gossip about the way In which the preparations for the convention have been handled by the local committee, headed by Rev. Charles C. Lasby. It was said yesterday that the high officials of the p:pworth League realized that the local committee seemed unable to cope with the demands of the big convention. Alarm Is felt. It Is said, that when the 40,000 delegates pour Into Indianapolis thousands of them will not have homes to go to. Up to this time. It Is said, accommodations have been secured for only about 23,000 people, and the local committee has reached "the end of its string." It Is related that a short time ago a young man came to this city representing the Methodist Church South In Missouri and tried to secure rooms for 800 people. He was referred to the hotels and was able to engage accommodations for only 350 people, though he was ready to put up a cash guarantee for the full 800. Besides this great delegation, Missouri is to send 500 people from the Methodist Church North. Mr. Schell, It Is paid, refuses to talk publicly about the conditions here, but It Is well known in certain directions that he has been sent here to try to get the preparations In shape. One of the things Mr. Schell will give his personal attention to immediately. It is said, is remedying the insufficient restaurant capacity of the city. Down-town churches will be urged to fit up barements and Sunday-school rooms as eating houses. Delegates who room In the suburbs will not want to return to their temporary homes for meals, and Mr. Schell Is alleged to have declared that It is imperative that extensive preparations for feeding the Epworthlans must be made at once. Those who were Interviewed In this relation yesterday spoke. ot.the meeting of the assembly committee of the Commercial Club at which Mr. Lasby told of the efficiency of his committee, and then they told a story of one condition that Mr, Schell found when he visited this City. He expected the programmes of the convention would be nearly ready, these persons said, and went to the printing house where he supposed they were being made. He was told there that the "copy" was not all .in. It all should have been in a month ago, he declared, and he afterward expressed doubt that the programmes would be ready before a week before the convention. The persons who were doing the talking also called to memory the fact that Mr. Lathrop. the chairman of the press committee, said his committee had advertised Indianapolis J'as no other committee bad ever" done before." and then proceeded to assert that-religious papers all over the country hare -been clamoring for "cuts' of Indianapolis, and have been unable to get them. The officials of the Epworth League. It is said, have been clipping pictures of Indianapolis from some of the sectarian papers and sending, them to others with instructions to have "cuts" made from them, saying it Is the best they can do. Persons claiming to bj "on the Inside'.', also told, yesterday, what they declared to be the true story of. the- Epworth League's side of the "tent controversy." The argur ment between Custodian Vest and Mr. Lasby is now famous,, for newspapers all over the country have printed stories about it. These stories came, under, the eyes of the Epworth League officials.' it is said, and caused a commotian"arnnr;g,them. They saw immediately, the1 "Witt? oVcs" say. that a mistake :had been- made at Indianapolis. The letter from Bishop Nlnde to the Governor was written after a conference between Epworth League officials, it Is claimed, and was really the official expression of. the consensus of the Epworth League. This letter discredited the slander an evening paper cast on Governor Mount's religious belief and. further, expressed the warmest regard for him. Epworth League national officials were quoted yesterday as saying they believed Governor Mount and Custodian Vest were right from the first in the "tent controversy." and that the courthouse grounds was the best site for the tent after all. The persons from whom the information set out above was received said they did not mean to antagonize the convention, but, on the other hand, they thought it best for the Epworth League that the public should know of the inadequate preparations made for the convention so that the people will throw open their houses for the delegates and no one may suffer for lack of shelter. The opinion Is expressed that the thousands of people who come to Indianapolis and find Incomplete arrangements for their entertainment will go back to their homes and spread Information hurtful to the reputation Of Indianapolis as a convention city. It Is added that the coming convention will be larger and richer than any Indianapolis has cared for before, and its magnitude should be fully appreciated In arranging for it. HISTORY IN THE SCHOOLS. A Section of the State Teachers' Association Meets. The history section of the Indiana State Teachers' Association was In session yesterday and last nlfht in Room 70 of the Statehouse. El wood W. Kemp, of the State Normal School, read a paper In the morning session on "History In First Six Grades." lie had carefully compiled statistics, as to the use of the prescribed course In the country schools. A course was adopted some time ago by the association and the country schools quite generally follow it. The discussion of the paper was participated In by many teachers and the discussion was opened by . I. f P. Myer, superintendent of Carroll county, F. U Crowe, superintendent of Jay county, and E. N. Canine, superintendent of the Greenwood schools. Mr. N. C Helronlmus, of the Richmond schools, read a paper In the afternoon on "History in the Seventh and Eighth Grades." He had investigated the us of the prescribed course in the city schools and found that the history course for the -first six grades is not closely observed by the city schools. There has been a general departure from it. and history Is taught by the observance of special days and tnelr historical significance. As to the United States history in the seventh and eighth grades, he found that of fifty schools, ten are following the course and fifteen or twenty follow it with modifications. Supt. George B. Asburk, of the Flora schools, opened the discussion. "History in the HiKh Schools" was the title of a paper written by Adelaide Raylor. of the Wabash High School, and read by State Superintendent Jones, who also opened the discussion. He suggested that American history be covered In the early grades and the first year of the high school, that Grecian and Roman hlstorv be considered in the second year, that French and English history be taken up in the third year and that Knglish and nineteenth century history be taken up the last year. The necessity of "History in the University" was pointed out by Cyrus W Modjrln. of Earlham College, and discussed bv Samuel R. Harding, of Indiana State University, and Charles E. Goodell. cf Franklin College. To-day the county superintendents will meet in the same room. State Anrtlfor Hart Mother Dead. Mrs. Hannah J. Hart died early yesterday morning at the home of her son, State Auditor Hart, in Woodruff Place. She has been an Invalid for many years, but the immediate cause of her death was. heart failure.

Supreme Lodge Decides to Incorporate. At Us meeting yesterday the Supreme Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen voted to Incorporate. Up to this time the A. O. U. W. has been a voluntary organization. The lodge yesterday adopted a charter providing for incorporation in the different States. It was also decided to make a change in the method of admitting members to the order. Heretofore if a man desired to become a member he first subjected himself to a medical examination by the local surgeon and a record of this examination was- forwarded to the grand medical examiner. If this official reported favorably on the candidate the lodge then considered his application. By the new method lodges will first consider an applicants general qualifications for membership and if it is felt that he is a fit person to come into the order he will be sent to the medical examiner, " Thus the applicant will be saved the expense of a medical examination if the lodge does not see fit to take him in- Another important matter passed ort. yesterday was the question of a more equitable relief law in the order and a committee of seven was appointed to Investigate this question-and -report at the next meeting of .the Supreme JLodge. k Last night the- locaL executive committee of the A. O. U. W. gave the visiting delegates a banquet at the Grand Hotel. About two hundred people were present. Dr. J. A. Houser. of this city, presided as toastmaster. Among- those who spoke were H. C.

There are people who become unconsciously addicted to the butter habit; that is to ay, they like butter and gradually eat a little more as the months go by, until they rind they have consumed, each meal, quite a quantity rf fat. that. they have not vitality enough to properly digest. This Indigested subttance causes more r less catarrh of the stomach and trouble with the bowels. The remedy, of course, is to largely cut down the allowance of butter, and for two or three nights sup nearly a quart of very hot water. Just before going to bed. This washes out the stomach and bowels and g!ve them renewed vitality. Then the person should, for a few mornings at least, rely on good, rich cream, with Grape-Nut?t for breakfast, letting out the butter altogether. The cream give all tbe fat needed. Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an portion of any breakfast.
