ilO OPPOSITION

YET DEVELOPEO Harry New's Candidacy for State Chairman Has Easy Sailing. DURBIN QUEERS HIMSELF HIS LETTER DEMANDING IMME DIATE PASSAGE OF THE ALDRICH TARIFF BILL KILLS WHAT CHANCE HE HAD. (Special Correspondence) Indianapolis, Ind., May 24. Harry S. New for chairman of the republican state committee continues to be the talk among the politicians in the state. No opposition has developed to New. On all sides it seems to be conceded that he is the logical man for the place and that he will be chosen. The fact that he has always kept his hands off whenever there was a party split on hand and that he has never been tangled up in any factional fights is regarded as being a strong reason why he should be made chairman. He has never been an officeholder, although he could have had practically anything the Indiana republicans had to offer and could also have been a member of Roosevelt's cabinet had he consented to take an ap pointment. He is not in politics for profit. He has turned down every political offer that would have brought him profit He is in the game for two reasons: First because he likees the political game; second, because he is a loyal, working republican. , Durbin Loses Out. The man who, aside from' New, gave promise of being the strongest candidate for state chairman was W. T. Durbin, until he wrote his letter a few days ago demanding an immediate passage of the Aldrich tariff bill, because, he said, business is suffering. Anyone who knows anything at all about the sentiment of republicans in Indiana, knows full well that Indiana stands for revision of the tariff downward, Just as the stump speakers promised during the last campaign. This does not mean that the tariff should be so reduced as to work a hardship of American manufacturers, but that there should be a downward revision that would be consistent with the idea of a reasonable profit to the manufac turer. That's the Indiana idea. That is what Senator Beverldge and the rest of the progressives in the United States senate are striving for and it is this struggle that is causing delay in the passage of the bill. Durbin, in his letter, takes issue with this fight and demands immediate passage. In this he is going directly contrary to the idea of the republicans of Indiana, so, if he ever had any idea of becom ing a candidate for state chairman it went glimmering when he wrote that letter. . Always Successful. But Durbin probably does not want to be chairman, anyway. There is no telling what the result of the next elec tion in Indiana may be and he probably does not wish to take the chance. He has been uniformly successful in politics all through his career, and he might mar his already excellent polit ical record by leading the party in the next fight. Durbin is not as strong, by any means, with the people of the state now as he was before he wrote his tariff letter. On the other hand, Harry New has the Indiana idea on the tariff proposition, and the party would line up behind him in the next cam paign in solid array. WINTER WOOD It Makes the Best and Most Lasting : Kind of Timber. It has long beea known that winter was the best time of the year for cutting down trees for their timber, but until the American bureau of forestry published the results ef some experiments no one was sure why. The bureau of forestry selected four pine trees of the same age and of equal vigor, growing in the same soil, and felled them, the first at the end of December, the second at the end of January, the third at the end of February aad the f eurth at the end of March. They were hewn iato logs of the same size and dried at the same place. Then the logs were tested. The December log resisted a flexile strain twice as strong as that which the March log resisted. It furnished piles which were still perfect and nndecayed sixteen years later, while the piles made from the March log had rotted within three or four years. Wood that is felled in December is leas porous then that cut at other times. It has been proved that oak felled to the sprirg allowed water to percolate through it in from two to three hoars, while similar wood cut in December was seemingly Impermeable. There la a very simple method of asthree hours, while similar wood cut in winter or In spring. The former con tains floury particles, which turn blue when tincture Vf Iodine is poured upon them.

JAPAtl SHOCKED BY GREAT GRAFT Members of Parliament Have Been Arrested for a Sugar Scandal.

NO MERCY WILL BE SHOWN EXPOSURE OF THE DEAL IS EXPECTED TO CONSIDERABLY PURIFY ORIENTAL BUSINESSUSE BRIBE MONEY. Tokio, May 24. Day by day the scope of what now is known as the "sugar scandal" increases. 1 The arm of the law is being stretched into places high and low to arrest and ex pose those responsible for the most gi gantic series of : irregularities ever brought to light in Japan. Aroused by public sentiment the gov ernment authorities are leaving no stone unturned and showing no mercy in the expose. One member of parliament after another is placed under arrest. The constitutional party, which car ried everything before it in the last session of the diet, has been the chief sufferer and will find it extremely dif ficult to rally under the blow. There have been arrested so far twenty mem bers of parliament and six directors of the company. $60,000 Spent In Bribery. A determined effort has been made for the last two sessions of the diet to nationalize the sugar company, that is to say, to get the government to take it over from the stockholders. It appears from confessions alleged to have been made by arrested directors that in order to bring this about a sum of $60,000 was spent in bribery. The names of some fifty members of parliament, it is understood, have been mentioned in this connection. Even the upper house suffers a certain loss bf prestige. : The charges against the directors are fraud, falsification of private doc uments and disgracing their office. Among other things, dividends were not paid out of legitimate funds, but were distributed for the sake of throwing up the value of the stock to bene fit speculators. A large number of foreigners lost money. May Purify Business.' The whole thing, however, has brought about a somewhat hopeful con dition in Japan. Hitherto the loose conduct of business in which the pub lic was invited to invest was not con sidered as much a reproach upon reputation' of men of high standing as is the case in western countries. This last development has involved so many foreigners as well as Japanese that the widespread publicity and the outcry of the foreigners is likely to have an exceedingly beneficial result The newspapers of Japan are loud in their praise of the action of the gov ernment in arresting the offenders. COPIED NAPOLEON. South Ameriean Dictators Who Imi tated the French Deopet The dictatorship of Castro in Vene zuela has been compared with that of President Francia, who terrorized Par aguay for over thirty years. '.Francia was a worshiper of Napoleon, whom he endeavored to Imitate In every pos sible way. He possesses only one por trait of his idol, a German caries tare. which depicted the emperor wearing an exaggerated version of the famous gray overcoat Francia took this pic tare seriously and for many years pa raded the streets of Asuncion clad in a gray dressing gown and , a cocked hat, which he fondly believed to be the habitual garb of the French des pot vv . : Castro's most distinguished predeces sor was also a Napoleon devotee, but Bolivar had seen his idol and could thus Imitate him more faithfully. He managed to acquire the emperor's brusque speech and other mannerisms. pulled people's ears when in a good humor and dictated dispatches to sev eral secretaries at once. He founded an order closely modeled on the Le gion of Honor; surrounded himself with a guard of negroes from Haiti, after the style ot Napoleon's mamelukes, and endeavored to codify the laws of his country. When be return ed to America after witnessing Napo leon's coronation Bolivar entered Ca racas standing in a Roman chariot drawn by twelve maidens belonging to the first families of the town.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

Confidence and activity have consid erably improved of late in business cir cles,' and In spite of high values la Wall street there is little or no exception of any Immediate serious reac tion. Many shares are now selling at exceedingly high figures, and the returns upon them as Investments at present figures appear so small as to lmpse a decided check upon new buying. Yet sellers appear to be few and far between, since investors find It impossible to place their money elsewhere at more profitable rates, and they are naturally Indisposed to lessen their holdings upon so strong a market. Speculation continues upon a mod erate scale. The public have not ta ken bold with any special freedom, although the operations of big traders give a fair appearance of activity. Occasionally there are indications of the largest holders reducing their lines Of suprplus stocks, though this is being quietly done and in a manner not to weaken the general market London and some of the Continental markets have also shown a disposition to sell Americans owing to the present high level of prices and in anticipation of pending security issues. This movement, however, has not yet become general. Before 1 long our principal market leaders will begin to absent themselves on summer vacations, and indications are that an unusual num ber of wealthy operators Will go abroad during the coming summer. If the general market does not soon advance to a still higher level it will have to recede to one which will admit of a new buying element Much will depend upon our next harvest. It is yet too early to form any reliable expectations. The outlook- as to wheat. though not entirely satisfactory, is better than a month ago, and there is hope of a fair yield at unusually profitable prices. The acreage of corn slfmld be considerably ahead of last year, and as this crop is also bringing very profitable figures, the outlook in this respect is also satisfactory. Reports from the cotton belt are generally encouraging, and the strength of that staple naturally makes "producers more optimistic. All things consider ed, the agricultural outlook is fairly good, but not extravagantly so. Ths promise thus far is not for large crops, much as they are to be desired; but owing to high prices the yield will certainly be profitable, and our farmers as a class are as certain as can be at this stage of the season of another prosperous year. Our industrial situation shows steady improvement. Nearly all lines of industry are beginning to feel the stimulus of renewed confidence. Railroads,1 the largest buyers of material, are making heavy purchases of iron, steel, cars, locomotives and other products, partly to carry out deferred improvements and renewals and partly for new extensions, as well as to meet a now growing increase of traffic.

Mumb ling to himself and imagining all sorts of things, James Stout a traveling salesman with headquarters at Toledo, is locked up in the Randolph county jail under medical treatment. Stout was found in a buggy shed on tne iarm of Frank Kinsey near Lynn Friday, and it was thought that his mind was deranged. He was brought up to Win chester and turned over the Sheriff King and then it was discovered that the unfortunate man was suffering with a genuine case of delirium tremens. X When Stout srot off the train he im mediately spied a pig with a "Mother Hubbard" wrapper on, and told the boys he could see beautiful maidens floating through the air in touring cars and he tried to tip his hat to them. Officer Bd Durr then hurried him to the lock-up as soon as possible. Just how Stout came to get in such a con dition in the very heart of Randolph county's dry territory deponent sayeth not but it may be another example of the horrible effect of the mail order habit It is said that Stout has been missing as' far as his firm Is con cerned for three or four weeks.

that our railroads are once more enjoying normal conditions. Building

and real estate circles are experiencing j a pronounced recovery. In mercantile circles mere is aiso .more acuvuy. Reports from interior merchants are generally of a favorable character; con sumptlve demands are increasing, and a general spirit of hopefulness prevails. The only quarter in which a sign ot caution is needed Is in the money market Our banks are in sound condition; loanable funds are still abundant and rates exceedingly easy, but there are indications of firmer rates in the not very distant future. Loans have now risen to the highest point on record, and reserves have steadily declined,, though still ample for all needed safety. Nevertheless our banking resources are being steadily weakened by the prolongd outflow of gold and prospects of its continuance. This week about $6,000,000 of gold have been shipped- to Paris, London or Buenos Ayres, mainly wing to the scarcity of commercial bills, our foreign trade conditions being far from satisfactory. In April our imports of merchandise were $122,000,000, or $34,000,000 in excess of the same month last year. Our exports during the same period were $125,000.x0 a loss of $18,000,000 compared with last year. In other words the excess of exports last month, while below $3,000,000, compares with an excess in the same . month of 1908 amounting to almost $46,000,900. Such an adverse reaction as this in our foreign trade must inevitably have an Important effect upon the gold movement; and should Europe renew selling our securities it is evident that we must face with equanimity further diminution of our gold supplies, espec ially should we have a poor harvest Fortunately our stock of gold is redundant yet it should not be depleted too rapidly. The only corrective in sight is firmer money rates at home, something which our prudent bankers earnestly desire, and something which a continuance of present conditions is likely to soon bring about Should Europe absorb our pending security issues with any freedom, that would of course check gold experts; but prices will have to be more attractive to the foreign buyer than now. The prospect of further gold shipments has been somewhat deferred by liberal sales of ninety-day. bills in London. Our finance bills, however, are not very popular in London, and there is a noticeable tendency there to discriminate against them. The tariff situation excites little Interest in business affairs. It is a foregone conclusion that no important downward' revision is to be expected. How far the attempted advances in the schedules will be realized remains to be seen. ' Present indications point to success of the "stand patters," and if. the present fruitless opposition to the Aldrich domination abates it is possible that this troublesome . question will be settled earlier than at one time feared, possibly not later than July. '- Cracked Furniture. Ugly marks caused by splits or cracked places In furniture are easily filled in with beeswax, and the mark is never detected. In fact this la how furniture dealers cover such blemishes. First slightly soften the beeswax until it is like putty, then press firmly Into the cracks and smooth evenly with a thin knife. Sandpaper over the surrounding wood and work the dust Into the beeswax. This gives a wood finish or color, and when the furniture la varnished you will look in vain for the blemishes. It is better than putty, since putty soon dries, crumbles and falls out while beeswax will remain forever just where It Is placed. ' They Needed Prayers. - A member of parliament tells a good vtory of an out of the way country clergyman who did not keep up to date In what was going on In the world. One Sunday he asked his sexton: "Is the prayer for parliament to bo used today? Is parliament still sitting r .
