President Roosevelt will not, at the present at least, concern himself personally in the telegraphers' strike. Appeals from commercial associations: in various cities, led by the request of the Chicago board of trade, reached Oyster Bay in large numbers Wednesday, and brought forth the president declination to take a hand in the difficulties. The appeals from the commercial exchanges were r6fmT byMr. Roosevelt to LaboV Commissione? Neill, whoi is now in Chicago seeking to bring peace out of war. No instructions or recommendations have been forwarded by the president to Mr. Neill, who from the first has been active, in an endeavor to effect a settlement of the trouble. He has as yet made no report to the president, nor has he received messages from Mr. Roosevelt touching upon the matter in hand. Mr. Neill's movements, however, have been followed closely, and while the direct statement is not made the impression given is? that in Mr. Neill's efforts the administration considers that the limit of its functions and authority in the matter is? being exercised Secretary Loeb, in Oyster Bay, said there appeared to be a concern trated movement on the part of commercial organizations throughout the country to solicit the president's aid injbringing aboiut a cessation of the strike. These appeals came in response to a request from the Chicago board of trade that the action be made general. Among these messages sent to the president was one from the 'Kansas City board', closely following the sentiment expressed in the one that had ben sent the day before from Chicago. The Kansas City message said: "The deadlock between the telegraphers and their employers is a national calamity demanding an immediate settleme'nt of the differences at issue. In this emergency we must respecfully urge you to use your best endeavors to bring about a settlement." The Detroit board of trade adopted a resolution and sent it to the president declaring that "the peril to the business interests of the country is of sixh magnitude as to warrant immediate " action by the government looking to arbitration or an amicable adjustment of th-r disputed questions." " The same ction was taken by the Indianapolis board of trade and the produce exchange of Toledo asked the president to act as a mediator in the strike. ' A meeting of the executive committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce will be held. H. A. Stillvell, chairman of the ways and means committee, said he favors presidential interference in the strike. "This strike affects the business of the entire country and some means should be taken at once to put .a speedy: end to the conflict," said he. Personal Contact Broadens Men. v Few things broaden, men more rapidly than contact with their fellows. If the contact be forced by the exigencies of business, solcial or industrial life the development is likely to be along the line which compels the association. Men of the professions hold their meetings that they may touch each other irr points that are common to both. Mind meets mind and knoiwledge passes from one to the other, experience1 lends its results to those who have not tried certain methods' and the successful stir the indifferent to more action. These are only the more plainly manifest results of the meeting of men of sympathetic calling, but they illustrate also the value of special contact for and women of classes and calling. The meeting together of men in different callings, the exchange of thoughts upon topics of interest, the discussion of questions of public nature help to keep men alert in their minds as well ast to open new ideas to the inquiring and to supply knowledge to those whoi are willing to receive information. Young men should form the habit of occasionally rubbing elbows with older men as well in their own callings as fh the general walks of life. They will find such contact of vast value, but the older men will also find gookl suggestions in the enthusiasms of youth, even though they lack some of the wisdom of experience. Elkhart Review.

Strikers Begin to Use Violence.

The first violence in connection with the telegraphers' strike was reported Tuesday when an armed mobat Ash fork, Arizona, riddled with bullets the office of the Postal company. Governor Kibbcy was appealed to for protection, and E. J. Nally, general manager of the Postal, took up the matter with the federal authorities in Washington. Asfork is a small town on the Sante Fe and is the chief repeating station of the Postal Company between Lo Angeles and the East. Two employes who refused to obey the strike order were in the building when the attack was made. No one was injured, but all the windows were broken and the lights shot out. , The last dispatch from Ashfork stated that the local manager of the company was preparing to run a special train to Prescott to bring the sheriff and a sufficient number of deputies to protect the company's property. . .:, I Tjfc: mds important development in ilie local strike situation Tuesday was the announcement by President Smrll that ihe American Telegraph and Telephone Company had made an agreement establishing an eight-hour workday for its operators throughout th- country and granting a wage increase from 10 to 13 per cent. The company employes about 300 operators, mostly in the Southwest. The settlement precludes the possibility of any trouble with the long distance telephones. At the local offices of the Associated Press Colonel C. S. Diehl, assistant general manager, said the situation wa rapidly approaching a normal condition and that the strike was over so far as the Associated Press is concerned. Under normal coaiditions he said the Associated Press employs 142 operators between Pittsburg anr Salt Lake, and Tuesday 97 of then weri at work. Out of about 400 operators employed -altogether, the reports 'Tuesday showed that 250 were at their keys. The entire Indiana circuit was working with the old force of operators. The reports indicated that the tieup was almost complete in the Southwest. Dispatches from New Orleans Tuesday night stated that the strikers were deserting, and that they had appealed to the companies to transfer them to other points so as to avoid the criticism of their fellows. Union reports from the same city stated that the strikers were standing firm and were prepared , to stay out for two months. "The best indication that our men are standing firm is that over 3,000 have joined the union since Aug. 1," said President Small Tuesday night. "We are entirely satisfied with the situation, and I believe that is more than the companies can say." $250,000 Theft From Mail Car. Three registered mail sacks, containing currency'and negotiable paper aggregating almost" $230,000, were stolen from a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy mail car between Denver and Oxford, Neb., Sunday morning. No violence was resorted to by the thief, the mail pouches being taken while the clerks in the car slept. Th point at which the robbery was committed is not known, but is thought to have been between Akron, Colo., and Oxford, Neb. The theft is the most mysterious with which the train officials or government secret service men have had to cope in many years. They have added to the mystery by reticence concerning details known to them. The robbery was not admitted by them until Tuesday. The train, known as No. 2, left Denver at 9 p. m. and arrived in Oxford at 7:23 in the- morning. It is a through train via Omaha to Chicago whrch it reached at 7 a. m. Tuesday morning. When it left Denver the mail car contained seven registered mail sacks1 destined for Omaha and Chicago. At Oxford the clerks discovered that but four were in the car. The train was held for many minutes until a search was made, and telegrams were sent torailway and postal officials. It was finally determined that nothing could be done at the time and the train proceeded to Omaha, vhere postal and railway detectives boarded it and started an exhaustive investigation. The clerks admitted that they had gone to sleep shortly after the train passed Akron, 112 miles from Denver. Their wck of assorting the ordinary mail had been completed, and they had taken no especial precautions to guard the mail sacks. The train makes but six stops in the 197 miles between Akron and Oxford and the clerks were not awakened. When they prepared to take on some mail at Oxford they discovered the loss of the three sacks. They have no theory of the robbery save that some one crept into the car and hurled the sacks out, dropping off the train at the next station. Detecives of the railway now are working along the territory. The clerks declared that the sacks had been properly transferred and receipted for at Denver and that there was no possibility of a clerical error in the failure to account for the pouches. The postal authorities also began a hasty checking up oi the contents of the missing sacks, which indicated their value to be $230,000. Two Cent Faro Increases Revenue. Governor Hanly says that passenger traffic in Indiana, under the tw--cent fare law, has increased 20 per cent., and that it is still increasing. We do not know where Governor Hanly obtained his" information, but an increase of business following a lowering of prices or a cut of rates, is the logic of the situation, and the increase of traffic is bound to continue until the cut in rates is more than made up by receipts from a larger army of passengers.

Cuba Violates Pledges to U. S.

The war department Tuesday mads public a long cabled report from Gov. Magoon of Cuba, which startled the medical oifficcrs." It shows that in the short period since the withdrawal of the American government of intervention audi the reassumption of American' government by the Cuban army of pacification, there has been a woeful neglect of sanitary precautions and an almost complete disregard of the treaty obligations under which Cuba was placed ' to keep the hland clean and healthful so that it should not longer !e a source of danger and infection to the United States and o.ther countries. The governor's report also discloses the fact that the fever in this last outbreak has not been confined to the hospital corps men, but has extended to other soldiers. He also, indicates that the evil sanitary conditions cannot be secured this year in spite of the most vigorous efforts on the part of the American authorities,' in which it appears hey received little support froan the native C iban physicians. refore he left Washington Secretary Taft became seriously concerned for the safety of the American troops and residents in Cuba as the result of the occurrence of yellow fever at Cicnfucgos. He' cabled to Gov. Magoon a request for a full statement of the conditions and urged the governor to take every step that prudence and experience should suggest to eradicate the disease. Gov. Magoon complied by sending the report. The report says there are three cases in totwn exclusive of soldiers. Twelve soldiers contracted the disease, and three of them died. All soldiers contracted the disease in the hosiptal. No cases have appeared in soldiers quarters. The report adds: "If we accept the mosquito doctrine, we must relieve the local civil officials from responsibility, except for failure to secure reports of all cases of fever or increased tempcTaure, for it is a practical impossibility to eliminate the stegomyia from Cicnfuegos until the completion of waterworks, sewers, pavement, complete drainage of city, and discontin uance of use of water containers. "The sanitary work of the island outside of Havanna has been ineffective for years, due to. the fact that sanitation was left to the local authorities and sanitary officials obstructed and delayed by local interference. "I am pressing the public works department to complete plans for water and sewer systems, and hope to get the wark started in ten or fifteen cities within the next few months. Roosevelt's' Speech. President Roosevelt in his address Tuesday at the laying of the cornerstone of the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial monument at Provincetown, Mass., reiterated his contempf for the rich lawbreaker who hides behind corporate organization to shield himse!f from criminal prosecution. He declared that malefactors whose wealth amounts to millions are trying to wrest the government's powers from Its proper officers, elected by the ,)tople, or, by financial chicanery, to frighten the naMonal administration into connivance at wrongdoing. He gave the warning thtt so far as he is concerned, and so long as he is president, it will be useless for Wall street or anj other interest to attempt to stay his hand in the rigid enforcement of the law. The recent sharp decline in the value of securities, lc said, was only part of a genera! plan to array the people against the government's poIicy. i "Undesirable citizens," the president repeated, were found in the ranks of the rich as well as at the head of anarchistic movements. De spite this fact, the executive said, the government would embark orr no campaign of vindictiveness. It would be as useless, he said, to urge this move on him as it would be to appeal for mercy for the rich man whose conviction of crime the government can obtain. To strengthen the hands of the ad ministration the president urged the enactment of new and revision of present legislation. Japan Arranging for Loan. Despite all denials, there seems no doubt that Japan is trying to raise money with a vie jv to the acquisition of the Philippine Islands. From at least two reliable sources come positive assurance that the Berlin representative of the pool of eight Japanese banks commis ioned to float a $50,000,000 bond issued in Germany told the financiers with whom they negotiated that the funds are desired to bring America's insular possessions in the Orient under the Mikado's rule. Just how the islands are to change hands, according to the Japanese plan is not clear. German bankers have definitelj informed the Japanese that the financial stringency makes the floating oif the loan impossible at present, in Berlin, that nothing can be done before October in any event and that even then, Germans will not consider a loan to the Mikado if J?i anese American war rumors are still in circulation. Internal Revenue Two districts in the corn belt distributed as usual, the largest amount of internal revenue to the government during the last fiscal year. The largest revenue receipts from these districts va- due entirely to the manufacture of whisky. The Seventh Indiana district at Terre Haute turned in $18,370,191 to the federal treasury in taxes on corn whisky, while the Fifth Illinois district, of which Peoria is th'j center and the largest in the cotuntry, contributed the immense sum of $35,577,448. The total internal revenue receipts of the government from all sources during the last fiscal year were $269,004,022.

May Call Cable Men.

Striking telegraphers are to carry their war to cable lines. It was announced Saturday noon that the men operating the cable stations furnishing communication with the other continents will be called out by the executive board of the Commercial Telegraphers"" union. If the order is obeyed by all the men it is said the United States will be cut off from Europe, Asia and Australia and the strike will become of international importance. About one hundred men, practically all of whom the unioin officials claim for the organization, will be affected by the call. They are located at the cable stations at San Francisco Banfield, B. C, where the Australian cable ends; Galveston, Key West, New York City, Halifax, Canso, N. S., and Heart's Content, N. F. "We have reason to believe that practically all these men will leave their instruments," said General Secretary, and Treasurer Wesley Russell President Small announced that he would make public later a statement of comditions which had led the members of the executive committee to decide for the calling out of the , cable operators. Secretary Russell said it had not yet been decided as to the exact time at which the call would be issued. Members of the executive committee held that the calling out of the cable operators was all that was nec essary to make the strike general and that until such a step was taken the walkout of the operators in the ciy and local offices would be ineffective. Must Name Babies at Birth. Indiana babies are up in arms and mothers and fathers are vowing vengeance upon the legislators of the state. The reason for the unusual flurry which is taking place in the usual tranquility and quiet of the nursery is the enforcement of a law passed by the recent legislature, becoming effective this month. The law deals with the problem of naming the baby. The legislature decreed that babies should be named on the day of their birth. The title the youngster is to carry through life must be filed with the board of health of the coiunty in which it is born at the same time that the cerificate of birth is registered. Failure of the parents to decide the important question of baby's name will not be accepted as an excuse. In such a contingency the attending physician is bound by law to supply the cognomen. G. A. R. Ranks Grow. Notwithstanding that heavy losses have been shown in the past ' and that the membership has not been increasing of late' the report of Col. John R. Feslar, assistant adjutant general of the Indiana G. A. R. for the six months ending June 30 last, which has just been completed, shows that there his been an increase in the membership throughout Indiana1 instead of a decrease as heretofore. Puring the six months two posts were added by reinstatement, while 248 new members were mustered in; 108 were gained by trans. ir and f.RS were gained by reinstatement The total number of posts in the state at the present time is 387, and the total membership of the Indiana G. A. R. is 14.028. The report shows that during the six months' 291 members were lost by death. "Teacher's Training." Trained workers are sought in all the callings of life.'

Some Animals I Have Known.

I am no hunter, but I know Some animals quite well, And I'm no faker when I say Strange stories I can tell. I've chased Welsh rabbits down a lane, Till weary stomach quailed, And I have bucked the tiger, too, And had a steer that failed. On groaning horse I've sawed all With calves I've danced all night, And often have I sailed a cat And reached my part all right. I've seen a blind pig lead a manN Along a rocky road. And I have seen a donkey try To walk home with a load. A Wall street lamb once owned a goat, A young dear loved a hound; I've seen a woman have a rat Above her forehead bound. But, strange as all these things mav seem. They dp not .half coimpare W'th that Wild m'tmsfeT 'of i f 1-, . .If ..1 T I J . e woods' in. uitouiui x euuy Dear. There's something Bruin all the time, And will be till he's slain. When will John get his gun? How long Will Teddy bear the strain? Sunburn for 5,000 Girla. In order that 5,003 up toj date factory girls may enjoy the tan and sunburn and the hundred other 'oys which go with a summer vacation, three thread factories of New Ycrk. the greatest of their . kind in the world, will close their doors August 24 and remain locked until Sept. 3, when the wheels will again be put in motion, with the proviso that enough of the girls are ready to return to keep the machines working. None of the girls, however, will get a salary while they are breathing in the beauties of nature on the sands of Coney Island and Atlantic Ci . "What do you think we have here, anyhow? declared Mr. Clark when asked if the girls would rusticate on a salary basis. "To put them on a salary for ten days wonild bankrupt the place. They're doing well as it is to get a holiday season without being paid for taking a rest We stand to lose more than $25,000 on the novelty, but I guess i 's about the only way out of the difficulty." Two we?ks ago a committee told the superintendent that 300 of them had planned to spend the last wek in August ?.t Atlantic City in a great camp which they had rented for he period and that he had better be looking for help while they were away. Later in the da another depart mcnt head reported another section of the "cotton experts" headed for Coney Island with like plans for the same period. A hurried comncil was called and the suggestion made that the shops close down fcJ ten days to give the entire outfit a vacation at the same time. It was readil- adopt eel as. the easiest way out of the di lemma. ' . . . ... The Original -Floppier Who is "Floppie?" Why "Floppie' is the genuine and original horse rid ng, juggling sea lion, who .like all great actors', whether they be human or beast, have many imitators. All eyes at the winter quarters of the Carl Hagenbeck and Great' Wallace Circus have been upon "Floppie while the expert trainers worked with her and finally she surprised everybody by mastering the marvelous, never before accomplished tricks Sea lions have caused much wonder with feats of balancing and juggling stunts as presented from an even, saionary platform. But just imagine all of these astonishing tricks, and more, being performed by a sea lion upon a horse's back. Ungainly, awkward. seemingly a helpless creature, ''Flop pie" executes with rare dexterity and skill the most difficult feats of ball throwing and catching, balancing. twirling brands of fire, etc., while poisvd upon he back pf a horse rushing about the ring at top speed. Of coiurse there are imitations of "Flop pie's' great act, but, like all imita tions, are not the real thing and are ridiculously tame more ways than one when compared with "Floppie the genuine- and original equestrian juggling sea lion, who appears only with the Hagenbeck and Wallace cir cus. Florida Camphor Grove. Secretary James Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, in an ad dress delivered before the Amcricus Club declared that the United States was successfully; experimenting , in the production of camphor. He said in part: "For years the department has been distributing camphor tree seeds and thousands of trees are now growing throughout the South and in the Pacific coast states. Two years ago a serious effort was made to develop the manufacture of camphor from these trees. "By improvements in manufacturing processes satisfactory results have been accomplished and a large manufacturing concern is now building irp a camphoir grove of 2,000 acres in Florida from which it hopes it make its camphor. This firm uses more than $500,000 worth of camphor every year." Teachers' Institute. The Marshall cotmty teachers' institute opened Monday 'morning with 151 in attendance.

Hague is to Hear Fisheries Dispute. The American Gavernment, which has taken the lead at the Hague peace conference in endeavoring to promote arbitration, will be responsible for giving The Hague tribunal the most important case yet submitted to it ,in the Newfoundland fisheries dispute, which , undoubtedly will be taken there as a result of the negotiations conducted in London between the Foreign office and the American ambassador, Whitelaw Reid. In both the Foreign Office and the embassy diplomatic reserve is nain-tained,-but it has been learned '' frö.n unquestionable sources that the Ions correspondence between the two governments made: it seem clear that their contentions could not be harmonized and had reached an impasse. Fina!Iyt Mr. Reid- submitted a proposal to submit the dispute to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal, having the authority of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root to do so: After a week or two of consideration the British government accepted the proposal, and their the( American gov ernment proposed that for another year, while the matter was in process of arbitration the fisheries should be conducted as they were last year, under the modus vivendi. There has been delay in concluding the arrangement. While the British Government has secured the assent of Sir Robert Bond, the Newfoundland premier, to the agreement, Sir Rob.ert undoubtedly will be reluctant to accept the modus vivendi, which he opposed strongly last season. More over, there is little doubt that the agreement wil be encouraged and that the fisheries during the next season, beginning next week, will be conducted on the same methods as the last.

BEST ... BIGGEST BRIGHTEST Casablanca Again ' Center of BattJeu . Another determined attack has been made on Casablanca hv MnnrUh Tribesmen with the same result as 01 Sunday. j The Moors advanced in a great arc xvith the evident intention of enveloping the city. The warships in the harbor poured shells on the advancing horsemen, while the 'French troops met them with a terrific hail of shrapnel. In the fighting on Sunday it is estimated the Moors' lost 2.000 men. In their latest attack the losses sustainted by them were equally heavy. B. Marc, the French charge Taf--fairse at Fez, fearing an outbreak of fanaticism against the French haa decided that the French -colony at F?2 must leave for the west Wednesday. . The French military mission will remain'. The other Europeans at Fez are showing uneasiness. The Moroccan government has given notice o! willingness to supply escort for the departing Europeans, A report that Mulai Hang, the Sultan's brother, has been pioclaimed sultan is tioi given crede nee there, though it is creating great excitement in the vicinity of Safi. It is doubtful whether the diplomatic coirps here will receive the sutan's mission of thirty Moorish notables, now on its way to Tangier from Fez, as the object of the mLsion is not clearly defined. It is understood that the Moors are coming to'protest against the too rapid application of the r forms provided for by the Algeciras convention, ami the violation of Moorish territory by foreign troops. and to ask for a stay of fifteen 3'ears to enable the Moroccan government to institute necessary reforms. About Elderberries. Elderberries have a bitter principle which is only offset by acid. Rhubarb has been found to be the best of these. Green grapes, lemons, vinegar and sour apples may be: used, but rhubarb is the only one that gives real satisfaction ard renders the berries really very palatable. Use one-third rhubarb and1 two-thirds elderberries making the pie just the same as any other fruit pie. 1 ADVERTISED LETTERS.
