CL Q .N. M. F. Q.rF. M 2nd, 3 16th. l-4 th. PAST AND FBESENT AS IT COMES TO US FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH. Telegraphic Information Gathered by tbe Few for th Enlifihtenment of the Manx A "Safe and Sane" Fourth. Fourth of July in Washington, D. C will see a "safe and sane" celebration.

New York City threatens to have a "safe and sane" Fourth of July this year. Mayor Gaynor has signified his intention of upholding the order prohibiting the sale of fireworks at retail from June 10 to July 10. This will practically prevent crackers and the like from .reaching the individual exploder, and if the order is upheld to the letter the greater city will be quiet where ordinarily it is like a battlefield. Statistics show that total casualties in the United States resulting from Fourth of July accidents last year were 215, while there were no less than 5,307 accidents. W. J. Bryan Home Again.

COL. COOPER IS FREE:

NASHVILLE

Carmack's Convicted Slayer Pardoned by Governor Patterson Retrial for Son. THREATS FOLLOW IIIS RELEASE Action of Tennessee Executive After Adverse Court Ruling Opens Political War. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced last year, with his son, Robin J. Cooper, to twenty years in the State penitentiary upon conviction of the killing of former United States Senator Edward W. Carmack in Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 9, 190S, wa3 granted a full pardon by Governor Patterson a few minutes after the Supreme Court had affirmed his sentence. The court ordered a new trial for Robin J. Cooper. Colonel Cooper was released soon after his pardon wa3 signed. His sen is at liberty under $23,000 bonds, and his friends freely predict that he will not again be arraigned for trial. Governor Patterson's action has aroused Nashville and Tennessee as nothing ever did before. There is th most intense excitement throughout the city. The street corners, hotel lobbies and other places where crowds congregate have been the scenes of the most violent discussions. Rumors of the Governor resigning, of an attempted assassination and of a plot to lynch Colonel Cooper have filled he air sinc3 the pardon was issued. Governor Patterson, in the pardon which he wrote for Colonel Cooper, said: "In my opinion, neither of the defendants 13 guilty, and they have not had a fair and impartial trial, but were convicted con:rary to the law and the evidence. The action of the Supreme Court in vacating the judgment as to Robin Cooper, leaves the sentence of final conviction as to his co-defendant. The proof showed that Robin Cooper hilled deceased and that D. B. Cooper did not fire a shot. Without reflection upon the court, it is inconceivable to my mind and repugnant to every principle of justice that a man should be found guilty of murder who was not in a conspiracy to kill and who. In fact. did not kill." The Supreme Court's reversal In th case wa3 based on the assignment of error in the trial judge's failing to charge the jury as to Robin Cooper's theory of self-defense, linking the defense of the two defendants together, excluding testimony of Covernor Patterson as to talks with Robin Coopsr and other points. PERISH IN CHINESE RIOTS. British Consulate Only ForeignOwned Building" Left Standing-. In the rioting in Chang Sha, China, in which not less than 24,000 persons, including the governor of the province of Hu Nan, have perished, all the foreign-owned buidings in the city have been destroyed by fire except the British consulate. All the buildings rented by foreigners have been looted. The Chinese officials as long ago as Thursday issued a proclamation that they- were unable to protect the lives and property of foreigners, and thereupon all foreigners made haste to leave the city. So far as is known no foreign resident lost his life. The missionaries attached to the American Episcopalian Alliance, the United Evangelical Church and the Wesleyan and Yale missions, numbering forty-one in all. took refuge in boats. They lost all of their effects. The destruction of all foreign property, including the Japanese consulate and the British warehouses, followed. The fate of the Standard Oil Company's new tanks is unknown. SAFE IN POSTOFFICE BLOWN. Cracksmen Wreck Melrose Park Station and Escape.

The safe-blowers escaped by boarding an out-bound freight train on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. The Chicago police were asked to search for the robbers and several detectives were hurried to the "Western suburb. The cracksmen are believed to be Chicago crooks.

BASEBALL SEASON BEGINS. Opening League Games Are Played in Eight Cities. Rig doings the other day on the ball lotspf the National and American leagues. Smiling skies prevailed evelsewhere, eight umpires each "tossed out a new white ball," eight umpires each in his finest voice cried "play ball." and in eight cities the sporting writers chronicled that "the game was on." At least these quotations have done service from time immemorial and there is no reason why they should be discarded at this late date. It was the day when all the teams were equal and that marked the initial puncture or the initial impetus to the hopes of several million fans. What will the end be? Call around in October and the answer will probably be ready. In the American League the rapid development last year of Philadelphia and Roston and the hard tussle that Detroit had to repeat for the second time her pennant performance, makes the picking of a championship team this year the merest guess work. About the only thing that does seem assured is that the first division teams in each league will not differ materially from those of last year. Pittsburg. Chicago, New York and Cincinnati again look to be certainties In the National for the upper tier, while in the American. Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston appear reasonably safe, with either Xew York or Cleveland having a good chance to wrest from Chicago her berth in the upper division. And added interest In the National's race this year is the adoption of a i strong policy regarding the umpiring and the protection of the umpires. President Lynch bids fair to follow the example of Dan Johnsen, of the American, in this respect and it Is predicted that the day of umpire b.iiting is forever past. LOSE LIFE IN FIRE.

Federal supervision of speculative exchanges was recommended by W. B. Thompson, president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, in an address before the Republican Club of New York City. East and West will lock horns in an unusual struggle for. control of the appointment to the Supreme Court beneh in succession to the late Associate Justice Brewer, according to predictions heard in congressional circles. The portentous political developments of the past few weeks and the general discontent with the Federal administration that appears to exist 'n many States will form the subject of a party conference soon to be held by the Republican leaders in Washington. With a brass band parading the street, and with the great auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. packed to the doors with enthusiastic citizens. Des Moines closed one of the most remarkable campaigns ever fought in any city of the United States for pure government and freedom from the yoke of corporations". There were comparatively few prj. mary elections held in Wisconsin this spring, in most cases the party nominees being unopposed. The Wisconsin law makes the cost of candidacy so hifdi that in the majority of cases contests were settled without reference to the ballot. The Stalwart Republican leaders of South Dakota profess to be not at all alarmed by the enthusiastic reception given Governor Vessey at Centervil!s on the occasion of the opening of the progressive Republican primary campaigns. They point out that CenterviM is in the heart of the progressive territory. With Senator Aldrich seated at his left hand. President Taft again earnestly defended the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill in his address at the annual dinner of the New England Manufactuiir.g Jewelers and Silversmiths' association at Providence, R. I. A subcommittee named by the New Mexico Democratic committee went to Washington to present to the Senate committee on territories objection against the Statehood bill. The delegation opposes the bill on the ground that the provision for a constitutional convention is unfair because it gives the power to Congresi and to the President to reject the Constitution.

THE PRESIDENT IS HISSED. Women Disapprove of Speech by Taft at Suffrage Meet. President Taft was hissed while delivering an address of welcome at the convention ot the American Woman Suffrage Association in Washington. The manifestation of disapproval was not unanimous, but it was pronounced. It interrupted the President's speech, but did not disconcert him. He waited a few seconds for the feminine sibilant of reproach to subside and then finished what he had to say. The President was describing the two conditions he would Impose in granting suffrage to any class. "One is," he said, "that the class should be intelligent enough to know its own Interests. The theory that Hottentots or any uneducated, altogether unintelligent class is prepared for eelfgovernment at once, or should Immediately take part In self-government, Is a theory I wholly dissent from but that is not applicable to the present situation. The other qualification is that the clas3 should care enough for their own interests to take part in the exercise of political power if it is conferred upon them. If they do not, then it seems to me that the danger is that the power conferred may be exercised by that part of the class least desirable."

VOTE TO END STRIKE. Philadelphia Committee Reported to Have Accepted Company's Terms. The committee of nineteen, composed oi representatives of striking inolorraen and conductors from each of the bams of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, met the other night and voted in .favor of accepting :i settlement offered by the company through representatives of the American Federation of Labor.

The Week in Congress In the Senate Monday consideration was begun of the administration railroad bill, section by section. Several amendments effered by Mr. Elkins for the administration Republicans .were adopted. Senator Nelson made a speech in which he declared that the purpose of the bill was to destroy the Sherman anti-trust law, and that he could not vote for it. Senate adjourned until 1 o'clock Tuesday on account of the marriage of the daughter of Senator Clark of Wyoming. Sneaker Cannon's suggestion that the "insurgents" of the House did not nave sufficient courage to join with the solid minority in the election of his successor and his prediction that the "Republicans would carry the next congressional elections" were the striking features of a somewhat sensational day in the proceedings of Congress. These statements by the speaker were called forth in connection with his comment on the floor over the action of the Democrats and "insurgents" in sending back to conference a report which allowed $2,3C0 for the expenses of the speaker's automobile, together with an allowance for the Vice President's automobile. The speaker declared that he had never suggested nor approved the allowance of automobiles for the Vice President and fcr himself, the legislation having been Initiated In the Senate. In the Senate Tuesday, Mr. La Fcllette spoke in opposition to the railroad bill. His remarks consisted chiefly of an arraignment of Attorney General WIckersham for ordering a dismissal of the government's merger suit agahist the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford Railroad for absorb ing Boston and Maine line, because the Massachusetts legislature had pass ed a law legalizing the holding com. pany. Senator Lodge in a heated speech came to tbe defense of the ac tion of his state legislative officers, de daring the two roads were not com peting lines, as charged by Mr. La Follette, and that the law was wise legislation. The House listened atten tively to a very full explanation of the provisions of the railroad bill reported from its committee on interState and foreign commerce. This ex planation was made by Mr. Mann, of Illinois, chairman of the committee re porting the measure. As it was re viewed section by section Republicans and Democrats alike entered into a discussion of its provisions. The Senate proceeded with the con sideration of the railroad bill Wednesday. An amendment was agreed up on permitting complainants to appear as parties to a suit upon the proposed commerce court, this action being taken in accordance with views of opponents of the measure. Various, bill of local interest throughout the country, especially in relation to the land laws, were passed by the House. Afted devoting two hours to the railroad bill the Senate Thursday laid aside that measure until Monday. The only amendment adopted was one prohibiting the Interstate Commerce Commission from exercising jurisdiction over routes which are entirely by water. The Senate passed the Warren bill authorizing the government to dispose of surplus irrigation water. The President was requested by the House to send to Congress any facts in his possession which might make inadvisable any investigation of the sugar trust frauds, unless in his judgment such action might be incompatible with the interests of the public service. A speech by Mr. Rainey of Illinois, dealing with the sugar trust and charging that Attorney General Wickersham and Henry W. Taft, brother of the President, had certain legal connections with the trust, attracted considerable attention. Representative Mann concluded his opening speech on the railroad bill and Mr. Adamson. of Georgia, senior minority member of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, spoke In opposition to the measure. The rivers and harbors bill was under consideration in the Senate during the entire session Friday, most of the time being occupied by Mr. Barton in a speech in opposition to the measure. He especially attacked the continuing contract system. By 149 to C9 the House refused to pass a bill giving to Major General Daniel E. Sickles the rank and pay of lieutenant general, United State Army, retired. The House passed a bill declaring that General Fred D. Grant was mustered into the service of the United States April 29, 1S63, when at the age of 13 he served as aid to his father, General U. S. Grant at Vicksburg. By this action General Grant was made eligible to 'membership in the Loyal Legion. Many other bills involving private claims were passed by the House. CURRENT NEWS NOTES.

Johnsem, a fun of $22,000 has been raised In the State to provide an income for his widow for the remainder of her life.

John Silver, a cousin, is charged with homicide.

Dun & Cos Weekly Review cf Trade says: "Some increase in trading defaults this week is mainly due to the adverse effects of high costs, but consumers derive benefit from the falling prices of primary foodstuffs. Heavy payments through the banks reflect improved activity in business generally, and a, firmer tone in the borrowing rate indicates that capital finds profitable use. "Weather conditions continued un usually favorable to agriculture, man ufacture and construction. The evi7 dences multiply as to more widespread extension of business operations. Farn, ings of the Chicago steam roads present notable gLins in gross and ici creases steadily appear in movementi of heavy freight, general merchandise, lumber, hides and factory outputs. "New demands furnish a better exhibit in iron, steel, machinery anj woodworking, there being more numer; ous orders entered and inquiries fct future execution. "Buyers attended the markets in greater force and there has been pronounced activity in the seasonable line of dry goods, footwear, clothing, mta"j furnishings and food products. Rei tail trade became brisker on hfghei temperatures and stocks of lightweight apparel undergo satisfactory reduction, here and at the interior. "Bank clearings, $289,728,705, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1909 by 10.9 per cent and comparo with 233.172,043 in 1908. Failures reported in the Chicago district number twenty-seven, as against twenty-four last week, twenty-one in 1909 and twenty-one in 190S. Those with liabilities over $3,000 number ten, as against seven last week, five in 1909 and six in 1908." NEW YORK. Crop, trade and industrial reports are rather more cheerful this week. This does net apply so much to actual immediate conditions as It does to great basic factors, likely to be effective in the future, and as yet it may be said that the Improvement is one of tone or sentiment rather than of actual expansion in demand or distribution. Indeed, except rt a few markets, there is little apparent expansion to be chronicled, and on a basis of business done the turnover is probably little different from a week ago. Business failures in the United States for the week ending with April 14 were 207, as against 240 last week, 201 in the like week of 1909, 261 in 1908, 1C7 in 1907 and 1G7 in 1906. Failures in Canada for the week numbered twenty-seven, which compared with twenty-six last week and twenty-seven in the corresponding week cf 1909. Bradstreet's.

State Fish and Game Warden George Lincoln, of Cedar Rapids.

The control of the Hocking Valley Railroad passed to the Chesapeake and Ohio, when .Chairman Stephens and Chairman Trumbull of the Chesapeake were elected to similar offices in th Hocking board. The bonds issued for the purchase of Hocking are to be taken up by Morgan and other banking interests. At the same time the Toledo and Ohio passes to the control of the Lake Shore. Through the mediation of Labor Commissioner Neill at Chicago there was a good prospect of peace being patched up between the firemen's' union and the Western railroads. The completion of traffic agreements between the Oregon Electric Railway and the Northern Pacific, has given rise to a renewal of the report that James J. Hill will buy the interurbm line. The Oregon Electric has been in operation only two years, but has already built up a good business, and It could be profitably used by the Hill system In competing with the Southern Pacific for traffic out of the Willamette valley. Oregon boasts of a registered Hoi-, stein cow owned by G. B, Goff, a farmer near Forest Grove, which produced 17,000 pounds of milk last year.
