Plans to Make Public All Applications to the Pardon Board. .

WILL IMPROVE JUSTICE CASE CITED WHERE IT 18 UNWISE TO PAROLE PRISONER UNDER THE 8ECRECY POLICY NOW IN. VOGUE. Indianapolis, Sept 13. Governor Marshall proposes that hereafter the state pardon board shall make public all applications and petitions filed for pardons for prisoners in the state prison and the reformatory. He believes Justice will be better administered under such a plan than under the plan of secrecy which now prevails. The pardon board never allows any one but the interested person to know when a hearing Is to be held on the petition for a pardon or a parole. The public never learns of the filing of the petition until after the board has considered it. Even then it does not become public unless the pardon or parole is granted. When a petition Is refused nothing Is said about it. Plan of Secrecy. , This plan of secrecy in these mat ters and the fault that accompanies it was made plain to Governor Marshall a short time ago. A petition for the pardon of a man named Taylor, who was sent up from Switzerland county, was filed with the pardon board and after a hearing the board decided that Taylor should be released from prison and it so reported to the governor. The papers for Taylor's parole were made out, but had not yet been signed by the governor, when a Switzer land county man, who happened to be in the governor's office, saw them on his desk. He Inquired as to the parole and then told the governor that It would be dangerous to release Taylor from prison. He said Taylor had repeatedly made threats while In prison that when he got out he would kill several of the persons who testified against him, and that he believed Taylor would do what he said he would. When the governor got this information he made a further investigation on his own hook, with the result that he tore up the parole papers and Taylor will stay in prison. Governor Marshall believes that when a petition for a parole or a pardon la filed the people of the county from which the prisoner was sent up should be notified and be given a chance to tell whether or not it would be dangerous to set the prisoner free. He says be will ask the next legislature to pass a law requiring the pardon board to advertise a legal advertisement In a newspaper In the county from which a prisoner was sent the fact that an application for a pardon has been filed. Then the public will have a chance to be heard. TO GIVE BIG DANCE A Pall Festival dance will be given at the Coliseum Friday evening, Oc tober 8, under the auspices of the En tre Nous Ctob. The club members decided to give a dance as they expect by this means to sell tickets to every citizen in the city who does not con tribute to the festival In any other way. Tickets selling for 50 cents have been iddstributed among the members who are meeting with much success In their efforts. Renk'e full orchestra will furnish the music. All the pro ceeds of the dance above expenses will be turned over to the festival as sociation by the Entre Nous club. OUR NATIONAL DISEASE. Caused by Coffee. Physicians know that dTugs will not correct the evils caused by coffee and that the only remedy is to stop driniking it An Arkansas doctor says: "I have been a coffee drinker for 60 years and have often thought that I could not do without it, but after many years of suffering with our national malady, tfyspepsia, I attributed it to the drinking of coffee, and after some thought, determined to use Postum for my morning drink. "I had the Postum made carefully Recording to directions on the pkg. and found It just suited my taste.

COMMENTS ON CONDITION (American News Service) Washington, D. C. Sept. 13. The bu reau of insular affairs of the War Department has made public a letter sent by President Taft to Governor Regia M. Post, of Porto Rico, following that officer's resignation. The comment in in part, as follows: It gives the people of Porto Rico a sharp rap for their attitude toward the American government and their repre sentatives: "I am sure personal observation and most reliable information that in ev erything you have done you have an eye single favorable to the Porto Ri can people and I have no doubt that the great majority of them know this. Should there be among them elements having a different view I can only assure you from my personal experience that one must, in seeking satisfaction for what he has done In striving to help a people like the Porto Ricans depend on his own consciousness of vigorous effort rather than upon the grateful expressions of those whom he has sought with all his energy to aid. I note that you are insistent upon the time In which your resignation must be accepted and I shall have to ask you therefore, to delay for a few weeks until I can fix upon your successor and then accept your resigna tion." . The name of Mr. Post's successor, it is said, may he named this week. GIVE UP CELEBRATION. The Riverdale Civic League has giv en up the Idea of holding a celebration of its founding this fall.

HQ ONE MAN CAN CARRY ALL WORK OP L H. So Declares Henry Clews, Well Known Authority in Stock Exchange Circles in Weekly Letter. FINANCIAL INTERESTS WILL NOT PERMIT IT Forthcoming Laws Will Make It Impossible for Anyone to Dominate Interstate Railroad Situation. New York, Sept. 13. The general financial atmosphere has been greatly clarified by the death of Mr. Harriman. His illness had for weeks been the source of depression and distrust in Stock Exchange circles; his precarious condition was fully appreciated In well-informed -quarters, where it was known to be only a question of time when science could do no more. The end came, perhaps, rather more suddenly than generally expected, but it did not come unawares; and Mr. Harriman'8 friends and associates, as well as those whose interests are tied up with his by the mutual responsibilities of finance, have had ample time to prepare safeguards against unnecessary excitement and demoralization in the stock market. "When a market leader dies there is usually a popular disposition to look for liquidation of his security holdings. Experience has again and again proven this view to be erroneous. Men of large affairs like Mr. Harriman may always be depended upon to leave their estates in excellent shape and under competent direction. On the other hand the passing of Mr. Harriman as a factor In the financial situation must of necessity -dlfTer from the passing of other noted market leaders, since he can have no successor. There cannot be and should not be a second Harriman; other financial interests will not permit it; and it is eminently desirable that this attitude should be maintained. Forthcoming laws will doubtless make it Impossible for anyone to dominate the interstate railroad situation hereafter by his methods. Mr. Harriman as a great railroad reorganlzer and upbullder was magnificently successful, but hfs success was by no means greater than the risks he from time to time Incurred in his epoch-marking speculations In securities on Union Pacific's account. Liquidation Not Feared. At one stage of the panic, it is rejjxuted, losses en these speculation i

figured into the millions, and it is appalling to consider consequences that might have accrued in the event of the turn from extreme demoralization not coming as promptly as it did. There is, of course, nothing to fear from liquidation of Mr. Harriman's personal holdings, nor in the immediate future, at least, of the holdings of the great railroad system of which he was the controlling influence. But beyond this Is the fact that Mr. Harriman had in course of development a number of exceedingly ambitious plans for the extension of his railroad Influence. These will probably not now be consummated on anything like the same basis he had in mind. Among these plans may be mentioned his proposed acquisition of the Vanderbilt holdings of the New York Central, by which the Harriman system was to be converted into a transcontinental one. Effect on Union Pacific. The death of this forceful leader may also have some bearing on the Union Pacific Influence in connection with the Erie and the result In both these instances Is likely to check the consummation of the change in control that appeared to be so quietly, though gradually developing. in a broad sense these conditions must be considered encouraging for the future of American securities and especially for the estimation in which they are to be held abroad. It is highly desirable that American railroad shares shall represent properties and not men, that such properties shall be managed not from the Wall Street standpoint nor from the necessities of personal speculations.. They should be managed for the shareholders as a whole and for the development of the country they traverse and) serve. The elimination of the personal speculative element may therefore be considered a favorable step, increasing as it promises to do the supply of sound Investments for the future. The demise of Mr. Harriman means a railroad may differing very widely from what would have been printed had he lived a few years longer. HENRY CLEWS.

The train was In charge of Conduct or Crist and Engineer Bark and was going at a rate of perhaps 30 miles an hour when the accident occurred. Spreading rails are allege) to have been responsible. The train ran for' a distance of several hundred feet after it had jumped the track, plowing its way through the ground at a terrific rate, it is said. Engineer Bark and his fireman, realizing that a catastrophe was imminent, jumped and escaped uninjured. The engine then turned over andi four cars were piled on top of it.
