TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Building. crner Importe and Center Street. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth. Indiana aa aeoond-class matter. Plymouth, Indiana, October 10, 1907. The Tribune opposed the voting of a subsidy tax. That question is settled, and has been settled rightly. But Plymouth should have an interurban. An interurban railway hrough this city will not be an experiment, it has; been tried, and proven that the merchants of a small town suffer no decrease in business, but otherwise. An interurban connecting Plymouth, with Culver, Bremen and South Bend would be a godsend. But why give the South Bend promoters all of the cream and profit, it there be any, from the proposed railway, which must be financially aided by our citizens. Why cannot an interurban company be organized in Mrshall county, in Union, German and Center townships? Surely the right of way could be more easily obtained by home people. Stock could be issued and sold in the three aforesaid townships. Then if the South Bend company wishes to join us, let them come in on an 'equal basis with us. If we want an interurban we want one that will benefit us, and our business men. We need this road and with the right organization can get it. JS J JP Pennsy to Use Trolley. The entire Pennsylvania Railroad 'system will be electrified as soon as possible after the completion of the mammoth terminals in New York. The 'first steps toward the electrification of the road will be the adoption of the new motive power between New York and Philadelphia, the electrification of the Philadelphia & Pittsburg terminals, and the use of electricity in all suburban traffic. After the electrification of the Philadelphia and Pittsburg terminals the irrprovement will be extended eastward from Pittsburg and westward from Philadelphia until the two ends are brought together. At the same time work will be commenced on the electrification of the Panhandle and Ft. Wayne divisions westward from Pittsburg. The company already has perfected a powerful electric locomotive at its Altoona (Pa.) shops, and this will be ready for, use on the New York terminals and on the New York and Philadelphia lines. It can be operated either by the thir'd rail or overhead trolley and its speed possibilities are governed only by consideration of safety. Pittsburg officials of the company have decided that since James McCrea became president of the company he has done more along the line of electrification than ever before, and that it now is committed to ultimate electrification of the whole system as ston as it is relieved of the big financial burden connected with the mammoth New York terminals. A Big New State. Through the admission or Oklahoma there will come something of a rearrangement in the idea of the political power in congress, as, well as in the electoral college. The new state outranks in its voting power Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming, and it has the same number of representatives in congress and member of the electoral college as Connecticut and West Virginia. It' is, therefore, tied with those two states for the seventeenth place out of a p total of forty- six, which is a respectable position for the baby state of the union. It begins life almost full grown, so far as its relations with other states are concerned, although Oklahoma has manifestedly not done growing yet. A Tuberculosis Test A fOnsular rep6rt gives particulars of a method by whicli the existence of tuberculosis can bt detected and which was made kno-vn at a recent meeting of the French Academie des Sciences in Paris. It consists in inoculating the patient, as in vaccination, with few drops of the tuberculin of Koch. If tuberculosis does not exist, the little incision heals rapidly, but if, on the other hand, the patient is affected with the slightest trace of the disease, although it may not be revealed by pny tangible symptoms the incision rubbed with the tuberculin becomes inflamed, and in from five to six days a pustule similar to that of vaccine appears, running hs course in four or five days. Europe Reads the Speeches. President Roosevelt's speeches- in the United States and Secretary Tafts speeches it Japan, together with sensational articles by American newspapers, have revived interest in the plan for the transfer of America's sea power from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. "Party politics," is the general interpretation at London of the discussion. The French '-press generally holds that the situation contains elements of danger, though' it is; deemed by no means acute as yet. German officialdom, voicing its "opinion through the Berlin press, thinks neither the United States nor Japan would permit a controversy which couftJ be settled only by force.

Word from Arctic Wild. Messages from Professor Ernest Lefiingwell, instructor in geology in the University of Chicago, now a prisoner in arctic icefields, have been delivered to his parents in Knoxville, 111. V. Steransson a member of the Mikkelson-Lcfiigwell arctic expedition, now at the Auditorium Annex, was the bearer. Mr. Stefansson, who pursxied ethological studies among the Eskimos, volunteered for the dangerous task of courier, to carry news of the expedition's safety o the outer world. The sinking of the Duchess of Bedford, the ship which carrieu the party, gave rise to the reports that several members were dead. When Mr. Stefansson left Herschel Island, where they are imprisoned, all were in good health aivJ spirits and hopeful of starting on their homeward journey next July. The main purpose of the expedition in determining (hat there were no islands in Beauford Sea was accomplished before the sinking of the ship. The question was one that had puzzled scientists and explorers. Many other interesting scientific discoveries were made. The ship was caught in an ice lloe a month before it sank and was gradually crushed until it floundered. The party had ample time to leave, carrying all their paraphernalia. News of the Wellman expedition has not been received by the Mikkelson-Leffing-well party who had been much interested in the exploit. The plan of Mr. Wellman was deemed feasible by -all. a thorough knowledge Of ballooning being to their minds the paramount necessity.

The Yellow Issue Again. The fact that Japan is England's ally makes the recent demonstration by the convention of Canadian labor unions held in Winnipeg against Orientals in'general, bit particularly he Japanese, very embarrassing to Canada's government. Tot long ago the British Columbia legislature passed an act shutting the Japanese out of that province, and the Dominion government ignores! it. Now the demand for Japanese exclusion has come- 'n a shape that demands immediate attention in the memorial sent by this convention to the head of the Canadian government demanding the abrogation of the British Japanese immigration treaty, so far as it applies to the Dominion within six months. It is just possible that the blame for inviting hostility "n Canada against the Japanese will be credited to the labor union element in the United States, as it has been before. However, in proportion to the population, organized labor is as strong in Canada as in the United States, am in British Columbia, where the original demand was made the labor societies were almost unanimous in requesting the exclusion of the Japs. One thing is certain; i' this movement against Orientals takes a practical form in the land of the maple leaf, it will cause more trouble in England than it has in the United States. v . . Many Hüft, Six Killed An explosion caused by the upsetting of the metal-pot in a cupola of the Standard Steel Co., at Butler, Pa., caused the death of four men, fatally injured twenty and seriously injured ten others. Nearly all tne men were foreigners. Ti e large wheel plant, 150x100 feet was demolished, causing a loss estimated at $100,000. The condition of the thirty men injured is pitiable. Although still alive the features of a majority are mutilated beyond recognition. The hot metal was showered over them, causing horrible injuries. Arms, fingers and ears were burned off, while several of the men had their eyes burned out. Several men are in the hospital with their legs burned to a crisp. The physicians attending the injured said that at least twenty of the men would die. The exlos5on was caused by the up-setting of a metal-pot in the cupola which contained 5,000 pounds of molre.t rietal leady for casting allowing the liquid iron to spill over the wet sankl. An explosion followed so quickly that none of the workmen in the building had a chance to escape. Men and women struggled frantically to gain admission to the wounded, and were kept out only by the assistance of a force of policemen. Thaw Trial Date is Set. Harry K. Thaw's second trial for killing Architect Stanford White, will begin at New Yorkx Monday, Dec. 2. The date was fixed by Supreme Court Judge Dowling Monday. The Thaw case came up through the filing of a motion by the counsel for the young Pittshurger for the dismissal of the indictment against hrm for lack of prosecution. District Attorney Jerome, in resiting the motion, declared that the crowded condition of his calendars made it impossible for him to begin the trial before the first Monday in December. While he was in no position, he admitted, to dispute the condition of the district attorney's calendar. Attorney Martin W. Littleton, for the defense, replied that he hoped the court would at least fix a definite date. Justice Dowling complied with this request without portest from Prosecuting Attorney Jerome. Littleton having made no objection, Jerome announced that he will apply within two or three days for a special panel to hear the case. Wanteft Hay and Straw in quantities to be baled on premises.

Tuesday was the day set for the trial ride at Washington, in which sixty officers of high rank, by order of the War department, will demonstrate whether they . can ride fifteen miles across country without falling from their horses. The War Department, learning of the heavy demand on the livery stables for. easy-going horses, issued a new order signed by Colonel Henry P. McCain. "Each officer" writes McCain, "pre senting a horse not provided by the government will be questioned as to its ownership and if the rider cannot say that he actually owns the horse a government horse will be provided for his use. No pacing, racking or single-foot .horses will be allowed in the column, and any officer found riding a horse with any ot the easy gaits specified will be required immediately to fall out of column and to take the test on the day following, mounted on a horse with a good, square unequivocal trot."

Was Too Much For Him. Miles E. 'Sheldon of Saginaw, Mich., employed äs first cook of the Twentieth Century' Lunch Car in Elkhart, was the victim of a peculiar "accident" at South Bend Saturday, While waiting for a car in the interurban depot 'a woman, whose ävordupois would tip the scales to the 200 mark, fell in a faint. The chivalric Sheldon 'would have aided her, but the weight was? greater than he anticipated, and both fell, the Elkhartan having the misfortune to fall beneath. Quite a crowd collected and assisted in reviving them both, which for the woman required several hours. Sheldon still feels the "weight of responsibility" in being chivalrous in South Bend. To Reform Others. Mr. Stevens, Prohibition candidate for state treasurer of Pennsylvania, sayst there is nothing inconsistent in a Prohibitionist's getting drunk occasionally. The idea of prohibition, is to reform the other fellow. One of the most persistent drinkers that ever visited that region was a member of a prohibition lecture' team who traveled as a "frightful example." Walked Home. W. Sherwood, aged 18 and Nora Graves, aged Ifi, went to Michigan City on Sunday. Robbers took the boy's pocketbook ami they were put off the train at LaPortc, neither having enough money ' for fare.

O'CLOCK EXCEPT James K. Duke Gives His Wife a $200,000 Necklace. After-a long search in America and Europe, for the most perfect string of pearls to be found, James B. Duke, head of the tobacco trust, has- just presented to Mrs Duke formerly Mrs. William Inman' of Atlanta, a necklace that cost him $200,000. The one condition of purchase was that every .pearl should be flawless, and several of the larger jewelry houses in Chicago, London and Paris were on the lookout. One necklace after another was rejected until at last the perfect one was found. " , Every pearl in the outfit, which includes; a "dog coflar" necklace and an arrangement of loops of the jewels designed to fall artistically over the shoulders, is perfect. Those in 'ie collar are the size of small peas, while those that form the feskons range in size from a large pea to a hazel nui - -Roosevelt's - Weight. In the few days that President Roosevelt spent in Washington after his return rrom Oyster Bay and prior to his departure for the West and South, it was a matter of remark arrjong persons who saw him there that he had gained weight during his sojourn at Sagamore Hill. Just before' leaving for Canton the President in conversation with one of his friends, owned up to 210 pounds. This is ten pounds more than Mr. Roosevelt' weighed täte ' last winter, and jüst about thüfty pounds more than his avordupois- upon his accession to the presidency in 1901.

Strikes a Keynote. President Roosevelt strikes a keynote in the statement that "aur great navigable rivers are national assets just as our great s-eacoast harbors." And, as he further observes, it is just asjmuch to the interest of the country to improve the rivers for the purpose of commerce ps it is to improve the harbors, at least so far as the principle involved is concerned. As to material returns ' it . is probable that the proposed improvement of the Mississippi would be ofNgreater benefit to the country than an equal expenditure would bring in improved harbors." It would make a road and not mere terminals. To Excludb Jap Laborers. ' Acting under direct instructions from the president, it is said on high authority that Secretary of War Taft has informed the Japanese government of the firm purpose of the United States to adopt the policy of excluding Japanese laborers from this countr. He urged that the best way to avoid friction would be for the Japanes government to agree to an exclusion treaty, but declared that if this course was impossible a law would be passed by the LJnited States congress which would effectively prevent the incoming of the coolies.

. MEN'S GIRLS' J H;j Wife Altered Bible. In the library of Wolfenbuttel, in Hesse, is a greatly treasured old Bible. In it the passage in Genesis .where God tells Eve that Adam shall be her master and shall rule over her, the German translation, "UnU er soll dein Herr sein" 4 has the word "narr" which means fool, in place of "herr", master: The error was caused by a quarrel between the printer and his wife in the year 1580. The wife was vengeful, and in vthe night she entered the room where her husband had been setting type ank! changed "herr" to narr."' The printer was arrested after the book had been printed and the mistake discovered, but his apprentice testified that he saw the wife steal into the composing-room and alter, the word. The woirr?n wa-s imprisoned for blasphemy. Orders were given that all copies of the edition should be' destroyed. This was done, with the exception of the one now in Wolfenbuttel library.
