AN- ORATOR FOR BUTLER

(.HARLES F. M'ELRQY WILL REPRESENT THE COLLEGE. He Is Awarded First Plaee by the Judges in a Field That Had Five Starters. The primary oratorical contest to select a speaker to represent Butler in the state oratorical contest next year was held last night in the college chapel. Five students contested for the honor. The speakers and their subjects were: "The Man and the Nation," Harry M. Wills; "Our Municipal Evil." James G. Randall; "Prohibition the Salvation of Our Country," Carl H. Barnet; "The Enduring." Henry H. Hammer; "The Supremacy of the Public," Charles F. McElroj . The decision of the judges Charles F. Coffin, T. J. Carter and Frank P. Nortonawarded first place to Charles F. McElroy, second place t Hnry Hammer, and third place to James G. Randall. The g-nral eustom has been to hold the primary oratorical contest in the latter part of the fall term, but it was thought that this did not give the winner time in which to prepare himself for the state contest, which occurs early in February, so the change was mad- t commencement month. Charles F. McElroy, who will represent Butler next year, is well fitted for the honor. He is a debater of Bote or less fame among the colleges of the State. He has been in every debating team that has represented the college for the last four years. Although this is his first appearance in public speaking, he has proved himself an orator as well as a debater. He has a strong delivery, a firm, clear voice and an easy self-control.

PRESIDENT OF THE READING COMPANY EXAMINED AT LESCTH. Teatlmony in Rearard to the Coat of Handling; Coal and the Amount Received by His Road. NEW YORK, June 9. Hearing in the investigation of the complaint of W. R. Hearst against the coal -carrying roads was continued before the Interstate-commerce Commission to-day, when President Baer was recalled by the commission and examined by Commissioner Prouty. In reply to the first question President Baer said the rates charged on coal from the anthracite regions tapped by the Reading system, about 180 miles to tidewater, is 11.55 a ton. Thirty or forty years' experience had shown, Mr. Baer said, that the coal could not be carried for less. "Notwithstanding the enormous increase of traffic," he said, "the cost of transportation has increased. The rates have not Increased, but the cost of all supplies, except steel rails, has advanced within the last few years. In wagea alone, on the Reading system, the increase last year was $1,200,000." During the strike. Mr. Baer said, the Reading lost more than $1,500,000 in freight alone on anthracite, and that was in excess of the $515,000 increase In the freights received from bituminous coal. For nearly an hour Mr. Prouty questioned witness as to the fiscal report by the Philadelphia & Reading system and its leased lines. Mr. Prouty wanted to know why a gross item of nearly $2,000,000 was shown in the report as "improvements," and asked for details. "I do not understand," Mr. Baer replied, "that your commission has jurisdiction over the way the Reading shall keep its books, or to what account it shall charge the moneys expended for improvements." "The commission does not claim such Jurisdiction." Mr. Prouty replied, "but has the right under the congressional provision to know what the railroad company does with the money It earns so as to be able to determine if its charges are fair and reasonable." Witness said had he known the commission wanted a detailed statement of expenditures he would have had it made out. In reply to questions President Baer said the Reading Company owned all the stock of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company and the Reading Coal and Iron Company. "Well' asked Commissioner Prouty, "how does it make any difference what rate the railroad company charges to the coal company for carrying the coal?" "If you reduce the rate on coal the carrying company cannot pay its expenses. Under the laws of Pennsylvania the three companies are distinct. Each has its own expenses to meet and fixed charges to defray." "But If th railroad earns less the coal company will make more?" queried the commissioner. "If you guarantee that a reduction in the carrying rate will not decrease the price of coal and so ruin the coal company, as well as the railroad, your contention may be correct," Mr. Baer replied. "But I think you are wrong. Anyway I doubt If the great State of Pennsylvania will allow her corporations and coal fields to be spoliated for the rest of the United States. I think it more likely that special inducements will be made for corporations to come to the State and consume the coal within the limit of the State." Mr. Baer said some of his associates in the company would be justified in charging any price they could get for their coal, but he believed it was not to the company's interest to charge an uufair price. The Reading had never yet made any money, but if they could maintain the bottom price at $4.50 a ton for the price basis sizes, they will be able to pay 4 per cent, on thei; investment. He doubted whether they could increase the price another 50 cents a ton, as there are competitive conditions to be met. There was some, but not a great deal of competition between he carrying lines. Witness said it cost $2 a ton to minv coal, and in the leased mines 30 cents a ton additional was paid as royalty. The coal which sells at $4.70 at tidewater is domestic coal, not half the coal mined. The coal which brings 65 cents a ton costs just as much to mine. Mr. Baer declined to agree with the opinion given yesterday by ex-President Olyphant, of the Delaware & Hudson, that recent troubles have increased the cost of production of coal 30 cents a ton. He believed those figures too conservative. In his judgment the figure was nearer 40 cents. Nobody had any other questions, and Mr. Baer was excused. GENERAL LABOR NEWS. In the Federal Court at Charleston, W. Va., Tuesday Judge Keller began hearing indictments against striking miners for resisting arrest at Atkinsville and Stanaford City, Feb. 21 and 25. The convention of the anthracite miners called to meet Monday in Pottsville, Pa., will be transferred to Scranton. Assurances of sufficient hotel accommodations were not forthcoming to warrant Its being held in Pottsville. Eighty-one firms out of over five hundred in Philadelphia have granted the demands of the textile workers, and the majority of these have opened their establishments for work. Some of them are closed because of a scarcity of material on account of the strike. The members of the Pittsburg local of elevator constructors went on strike Tuesday for an advance in wages of from $3.75 to $4 per day and an eight-hour day. They number about 180 men. The number of men locked out in the building trades was Increased Tuesday to 7,000. The strike of bakers' employes at Baltimore has caused several bread and confectionery stores to close. Hotels and housekeepers generally are feeling the effects of the strike as the bread production has been much reduced and no cakes or pastry are being baked. The American Cigar Company has agreed to the demand of its 1.200 employes at Kingston, N. Y., for one hour at noon and a Saturday half-holiday, but refuses to advance wages. All except employes paid by the we'k are still on strike and are trying to unionize the factory. Delegates from sixteen New York unions, who left a meeting of the board of building trades because that body refused to expel the Material Drivers' Union, and thus end the building strike, have taken steps to form an independent labor organization. As soon as this is completed it is expected the new organization will order all the unions affiliated with it to have their men return to work. Machinists in the various packing houses at the Chicago stockyards were granted an Increase in wages of 124 per cent. Tuesday, through conferences between representatives of tho packers and officials of the machinists's unions. With this concession the machinists in the yards now receive the same wages and observe the same hours as machinists in down-town plants. The carpenters employed in the yards, numbering nearly six hundred, have made demands for increased wages. They want a 20 per cent, increase over present wages.

It was evident that an artist had done the tattooing, for it was the most delicate tracery, resembling the" lace that our proud families hold as heirlooms. It Anally developed that the young woman had placed a bit of grandmother's precious Arg ntan over her and lain out in the sun for a few hours.

CANADIAN TARIFF AND U. S. Some Knots In the Qaention North of the Great Lakes. Collier's Weekly. Unfavorable tariff action against the United States could not be taken without arousing the people of western Canada and the maritime provinces to indignation, for from the United States comes a very large proportion of all the goods they consume, and the party In power In Canada is continually confronted with the necessity of so adjusting the tariff, as to meet both the views of home industry and the necessities of the consumers who are importers. Canada Is the best customer the United States has for manufactured goods, and the third best for all exports. Over 'j,(ßy wo worth of T'nited Suites products are sold in Canada each year, and the balance in this trade ia 170.000.000 against the Canadians. With all this trade and commerce we have no treaty with Canada, whereby the value of the trade of thai great customer Is recognized. We have been and are still urged to make such 4 treaty. We are warned that Canada It fully aware of her own powers, and the action in the case of Germany 1? significant an to the extremes to which Canada Is prepared to go to assert her own individuality. In the careles Insolence of greatness and power, the United States Is nglecth.g the amenities of international trade. The high joint commissioners will meet again next winter to take up orce more questions now tt issue between Canada and the United States. At previous meetings of this commission the Alaskan boundary was the moat dlsturoing feature. This has been eliminated by the referenea of the question to a boundary- commission. It is already renerally accepted in Canada, that the United States will get the best of this controversy, for Canada's case was really an afterthought. England Is extremely desirous of getting this boundary question out of the way, aa U la an irritating point In her present amicable relations trith the

There Is really not much hope ia Canada that the high joint commissioners will arrive at any trade agreement which will be ratified by the United States Senate and thus lead to reciprocity. While the commercial feature of the commission wss given greatest prominence in the discussion of the matter in the budget speech of the minister of finance, there are, howw. many other very important questions in relation to fisheries, etc.. which the commission can dispose of amicably. The Canadian tariff is to-day much lower than that of the United States, and. falling in any trade arrangement with the lau. r country, a strong sentiment is developing in Canada in favor of a general revision, to result in a maximumm and minimum tarlfT law as a basis for negotiations with all foreign countries. Should the United Stat, s adopt a similar customs policy, as has been uggeeted by Senator Aldrich and othr-, a treaty between this country and Canada would be quickly arranged. The general drift of tariff legislation throughout the world to-day is toward maximum and minimum tariff, the margin to be used as a basis for International dicker. AN INDIANA BUILDING.
