THREE TARIFF EXPERTS THEY WILL SIT ON THE BOARD AND UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF THE STATUTE JUST PASSED RECENTLY. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 23. Stories from Washington that the numerical strength of the regular army is toTbe reduced as a part of the Taft leconomy plan were denied here on the highest authority. Likewise it can be denied that the naval establishment will suffer any loss of efficiency or strength in the paring down that is to be done. Secretary of the Navy Meyer declared at the conclusion of the Cabinet conference at the Taft cottage Sunday afternoon that his estimates for the ensuing year are in, that he has made the cut of $10,000,000 requested by the president, but that in so doing he has saved the two new battle ships and gained, in addition, 3,000 men for the enlisted branch of the service. It can be stated once more on authority that the president is insistent upon his plans for economy being carried out without any loss of efficiency in any department. Mr. Taft believes that there is sufficient leeway for saving without in any way Impairing the efficient administration of public business. Three Tariff Experts. There will be three tariff experts on the new foreign tariff board.which the president will appoint under the Payne law. It is a practical certainty that James B. Reynolds, now assistant secretary of the treasury, in charge of customs, will be one of these experts. Both the president and secretary of the treasury, MacVeagh think highly of Assistant Secretary Reynolds.

Experts Hard to Get. In seeking the proper men for the position Secretary MacVeagh has been in communication with all of the big universities. Expert investigators are rather difficult to secure. At the same time care must be taken to get men who are absolutely unbiased on the tariff question. Doctrinarles are not wanted. One of the fears of congress, freely expressed while the tariff commission was under discussion, was that men would be appointed who, from their economical teachings, were predispos ed either to protection or free trade. Secretary MacVeagh will visit the president again next Thursday, and it is expected that shortly thereafter there will be some announcement as to the make-up of the new board. How to Be Happy.

Heavy Pipes Regarding Conferences Between Marshall and Ohio Leader. DEMOCRATIC MOGULS HAVE MADE DENIAL Refute the Report That Their Meeting at Northern Michi gan Resort Was by Prear ranged Plan. Indianapolis, Aug. 23. It sounds a little bit strange to read those inter views which come from Petoskey, Mich., where an eminent Indianaian, is spending a vacation. The story went out that Governor Marshall was at Petoskey, and that Governor Harmon of Ohio, was there, and Governor Johnson of Minnesota would also prob ably be there. And it was said that the coming together of these three eminent leaders of the present day democracy might result in something important to the party. It is known that each man would not run hard enough to break a leg in getting av ay from the democratic nomination for president in 1012 too. Neither man has said he is a candidate for the nomination however. They are all merely individual ears to the ground listening for the call that is tlmost certain to come to one or the other of them What Arrangement Was. The story that went out about the coincidental visits of the three governors may have been in error in minor particulars, and In at least one particular it was wrong. It was understood that Marshall and Harmon were to go to Petoskey. Instead of that it is now learned that Marshall was going to Petoskey and Harmon to Charlevoix, which is only a few miles from Petoskey. And a man who ought to know what he is talking about says that many months ago each Governor knew that the other was to be in Michigan at the same time. And this man further says that the two governors promised to visit each other while they were on their vacations. It is probably true that no formal political conferences were arranged for between the two democratic overnors, but when two such democrats as Marshall and Harmon visit each other, as it was agreed they should, what do you suppose they would talk about? The weather? Not much. The dispute between China and Japan? No. Guess again. Horse racing? No. Wrong again. They would talk politics of course. Nothing could be more natural than that they should discuss party affairs. Each wishes to know just where the other stands. Literally Right. Governor Marshall was literally right in his denial that both he and Harmon are at Petoskey. But he has not said that there was not an understanding that he was going to Petoskey and Harmon to Charlevoix, where they could be within easy reach of each other in case something came up party affairs that required their individual and collective attention. As ' for Johnson being there, that part of it was only a rumor that was going the rounds. It was told here for a fact and people who heard it believed it. If Johnson does not go, then it was merely an unfounded rumor. Although Marshall is supposed to be a novice in the political game yet he is about as shrewd a politician as the next one. If he does not know the game he plays with great luck. He is a good deal like the woman when you try to teach her for the first time to play poker. She is almost certain to get all of your chips. Played Good Game. Marshall played a game of indifference last year when his name was announced as a candidate for the nor-iu-ation for governor. He anumed the attitude that he would take the nomination if offered him. but that he would not make a fight for it. This was so unusual an attitude for J. democrat to assume ina race for office that it made a hit with a large element ot his party, and they nominated him. Then he went before the people and worked like a beaver to be elected, but in his speeches he repeatedly made this statement: "I don't care whether I am elected governor, or not. If you want me to be governor you can elect me. If you do not want me to be governor. 1 have a good law practice at home." Again this attitude made a hit, and the people elected Marshall governor and snowed under nearly all the rest of the democratic state ticket. "When the talk started about Marshall as a candidate for president he again took the attitude of indifference. Outwardly he does not seem to care whether the party nominates him or not. Some time ago he said: Is Not Worrying. "I am not worrying about the future. If they want me for president they will nominate me. If I am nominated I will be elected. That much is sure. If they nominate me it will be because they want me for president and not because I have asked for the office. When a man is nominated in that way he is sure to be elected." Now. it is this attitude ot otter indifference thta proves Marshall to be either a greenhorn in politics or else a mighty smooth article. And up to date no one has ever accused him ot

pedition Against the Moors. FOUR WORKMEN MURDERED (American News Service) Madrid. Aug. 23. The cause of the Melilla trouble is the attempt to develop two Spanish mining properties fifteen miles from Melilla under pro tection of the Roghi, Morocco's most persistent Pretender. Last October the tribes raided the mines and stopped all work. Sultan Mulai Hafid re fused to recognize any concessions made by the Pretender, and Spain then voted $1,120,000 to strengthen the garrisons of Oeuta and Melilla. Several Spanish punitive expeditions have operated from Melilla during the present year. The ordinary garrison is about 3,000 strong, but by the end of June an expedition of 17.000 men was prepared to strengthen Ceuta and Melilla, On the 0th inst. four workmen were murdered by Moors near Melilla, and a fierce engagement was fought im mediately afterwards. The Spanish troops, who have had several pitched battles with the tribesmen with a loss to themselves of nearly l.OOO men killed and wounded, now amount to about 5,000 men, and Melilla is threatened by 20.000 Kabyles who hold a strong position on heights just outside the town. The losses of the Kabyles are said to have been enormous, but their numbers are hourly increasing, It is declared that 50,000 Spanish troops will be at Melilla by September 1. The peace strength of the army ii about 95,000 men. A RAGING RLAZE AT DECATUR, ILL For Twelve Hours the Fire De mon Licked Up Business Blocks. WATER FAMINE RESULTED TODAY THE BUSINESS DISTRICT OF THE CITY IS A MASS OF RU INS LOSS IS ESTIMATED AT A MILLION. Decatur, 111., Aug. 23. Following a fire that destroyed over $1,000,000 worth of property and destroyed 18 buildings in the business district, ear ly Sunday morning came a water fam ine on a hot Sunday, as a result of the supply in the city reservoir being exhausted.It was necessary to shut off large sections of the city for the better part of the day. The breaking of the dam in the San gamon River and the drought made a combination that for a time was alarming. The fire raged from 1 o'clock yes terday morning until nearly noon, and today practically an entire square is in a mass of ruins. Conservative estimates place the loss at $1,250,000, with insurance of 60 per cent. The heaviest loser was the Morehouse & Wells Company, in whose building the fire started Crossed electric wires in the elevator shaft are blamed. i nis six story ouiiamg, it was thought, would hold the fire, but the falling walls started fires on both sides. The building was in the mid die of the block on East Main street The fire spread east and west to both corners, and north to the edge of the block, the Citizens' Bank BuPding on one coner. and the Bachrach building on tho other, arresting the flames. Eighteen Buildings Gone. Eighteen buildings vere destroyed and a dozen damaged. Flyi.-.g embe-i started other fires with small damage. All the buildings burned, except the Morehouse and vT'"jj building, were three storystructures of brick or stone. One of the buildings housed "The Peerless," once the most celebrated and elaborate saloon In the city, now a "soft drink" parlor. No insurance had been carried since the town went dry. Several other former saloon locations were burned. While the fire was in progress In the Morehouse-Wells concern, a blaze was discovered in the engine room of the Decatur Hotel, situated a half block west of the district that was being de stroyed. There was a panic among the guests, who realized that the firemen had a bigger job on their hands than they could handle, but prompt work by the hotel people extinguished the flames. In response to a call for help, Springfield sent an engine and fire crew and this gave the city four engines with which to tight the flames. The department was crippled by falling walls covering several hundred feet ot hose. MASONIC CALENDAR. Wednesday, Aug. 2T Special meeting Webb Lodge. Na 24. F. & A. M.

Congressman Fowler Digs Up

Record of Uncle Joe Declaring It to Be the Rottenest in History. CONSPIRACY CHARGE BY IRATE OFFICER Says That the Speaker and Senator, Aldrich Made Effort to Discredit and Betray The President. New York. Aug. 23. The most sensational attack ever made by a responsible authority upon a public man in the United States in modern times is contained In an open letter addressed to Speaker Joseph G. Cannon by Representative Charles N. Fowler ot Eliz abeth, N. J. Representative Fowler boldly charge the existence of a conspiracy between the speaker of the house and Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island for the controlling ot all national legislation an of defeating both tariff re form and currency reform. He also broadly intimates that Aldrich and Cannon conspired to discred it the president by raising the tariff rates so that the president's promise and that of the party as contained in the Chicago platform would not be ful filled. Another Eye Opener. He charges sinister motives in the attempt to establish a central bank in Washington; shows the trickery employed to thwart the president's wishes in passing the tariff bill anl Uncle Joe's conversation as applied to his everyday work of making the law for the American people. Congressman Fowler says the republicans will win the next congres sional election only over the grave of Cannonism. Incidentally he gave Cannon's record on financial legislation since 1374, and says it is the "rottenest" in history. "Uncle Joe" Broke Even. For several years the New Jersey congressman was chairman of the house committee on banking and currency. !At the close of the recent special session Speaker Cannon decline 1 to reappoint Mr. Fowler to that imporatnt chairmanship. Such action is almost unprecedented. Despairing of securing what he believes is necessary legislation for the reform of the currency and banking laws of the country as long as the house is under the control of the present rules so interpreted by Speaker Cannon. Mr. Fowler announced himself a candidate for speaker at the opening of the special session. He explains that he' did this, not in the expectation of being elected, but solely for the purpose of bringing squarely before the people the issue of genuine currency and banking reform as distinguished from the legislative program on that question agreed to by Aldrich and Cannon. This conduct made Fowler an Insurgent in the eyfs of "Uncle Joe." A Short Note. Congressman Fowler's open letter t) Cannon is accompanied by a short note, in which he says he is impelled to write because of various items in the papers disparaging him (Fowler) in which the exact language is used that Cannon used to Fowler at an interview concerning the appointment of Fowler to the chairmanship of banking and currency committee. He says the purpose of this propaganda was Cannon's own justification in deposing Fowler from the chairmanship of that' committee. Mr. Fowler then in his open lettter reviews the range of his own successful activities in the Interest of banking legislation, and recites that he frequently visited foreign countries to study conditions and gain information, using in this work about $10,M of his own money. Referring to Cannon's objection that Fowler could not get an agreement out of twelve republicans and six democrats, Mr. Fowler cites all the instances in which he did secure agreements on various legislation, which has been of immense value to the business community.
