NATIONAL BOARD - OF TRADE IS TO HOLD A MEETING

And Matters to Be Considered By Congress Will Come Up - For Discussion and for Fin- . al Action. TAFT SHIP SUBSIDY WILL GET A HEARING And Improving the Diplomatic And Consular Corps Will Probably Be Advocated Other Questions. (American News Service) . Washington, Jan. 14. Recommendations and resolutions on important matters of legislation, which will be considered at the present session of congress, will be presented at the Fortieth annual meeting of the National Board of trade, which opens in this city on January 25, and which promises to be one of the most important gatherings ever held by this body. Representatives of the various boards of trade throughout the country, and of various commercial organizations will be present and will give their views on pending legislation, and Borne that has already become history. Ship Subsidy Question. A ship subsidy bill, as advocated in President Taft's annual message, will be one of the matters that will come up for discussion. Several Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade of the larger cities have already adopted resolutions, which will be presented at the national meeting, urging the enactment of legislation looking to the building up of the American Merchant marine. The raising of the standard of efficiency In the diplomatic and consular service one of Secretary Knox's schemes, is heartily supported by the New York Produce Exchange and the Philadelphia Board of Trade, and a resolution will undoubtedly be adopted at the coming meeting, urging that the government run the consular service . on the same basis as the army and navy, regulation promotion according to the service rendered and merit. It is .1 j . v. t . : v. A for the purchase of permanent homes 1 for our ambassadors administrators in foreign capitals, and that a school be established where young men desiring to enter into the diplomatic service can be trained. Adequate retiring pensions are ' included among the recommendations. A Commerce Court. The establishment of an Interstate commerce court, which was urged in President Taft's special message, re- . in .i in t . centjy Buomiuea 10 congress, wju ue heartily supported, and several other matters, regarding regulation of railroads and the fixing of freight rates, as urged In the president's message, will be the subject of favorable resolutions. On the question of an improved currency system, there fs a difference of opinion. Some of the organizations, notably the New York Produce Exchangeis in favor of the adoption of a central national bank, while this plan is opposed by several other boards. All however, agree that the financial system of the country is In need of a change, and several suggest that legislation as urged in the report of the National Monetary commission, should be enacted. Resolutions, both pro and anti, on the establishment of the parcels post system will be presented, as several of the bodies favor this measure, and a number of others are opposed to It. The establishment of postal savings banks, however, is looked on favorably by all the members, who have cared to express an opinion, a number believing that a large volume of currency that is being hoarded, will thus be brousht into circulation. Corporation Tax Law. Several representative bodies urge the repeal of the corporation tax law, as passed in connection with the tariff bill, and a number of others suggest radical amendment. As the result of the new tariff bill, it is urged that this country secure amicable trade relations with Canada as , quickly as possible, giving the Canadians the benefit of the lowest rates possible in order that they may be induced to reciprocate. , One cent letter postage is another matter that will be urged, and the government will be asked to increase the postage rates on magazines and periodicals, as it is this class of material that ba$ caused the huge deficit in the postal department, according to this last reportResolutions on the conservation of our natural resources and the improvement of our rivers, harbors and Inland waterways will be the subject " of several resolutions, and congress will be urged to make liberal annual appropriations for these purposes. Amendments to the Sherman anti trust law will also be urged, so that "its operations will tend only to prevent and destroy combinations which are injurious." Th Baltimore -Chamber of Commerce and the New York Produce Exchange protest against the enactment of any legislation by congretV providing for tho federal inspection of grain and the New York Board of Trade and Transportation requests that the salaries of the judges of the rt-reme court of the United States be

Increased, also the associate justices, and the judges of the circuit and district courts.

BET SHE IS PEEVED Sues Man for Breach of Promise and He Gives His Money Away. TROUBLES OF A MILLINER Kansas City, Mo., January 14. In the taking of depositions here in a $20,000 breach of promise suit brought by Miss Edna Noble Post, a Kansas City milliner, against George C. Smithpeter, a wealthy lawyer of Carrollton, Mo., the defendant in the case acknowledged that he shammed a marriage with another woman to deceive his fiance, and that, since the filing of the breach of promise suit, he Becretly married a third woman, giving her his entire fortune as a dower. The lawyer admits the betrothal and that he gave a diamond engagement ring to Miss Post. Concerning his sham marriage, he made the following statement under oath: "Mrs. Juliette Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y., consented to a marriage in which the license was properly drawn up, but in which the certificate was signed by a gambler, who wrote "Minister of the Gospel" after his name. That was In October 1903, in Louisville, Ky. I don't remember the gambler's name. I met him when playing poker. Mrs. Smith took the license in order to show it to her sister, with whom she was going to visit, and I took the certificate and tore it up." Tbe fact that Smithpeter now is married came out in the course of questioning. "How much property In real estate have you?" asked Miss Post's attorney. "Until two weeks ago I had 1,047 acres of land in Carroll county, Missouri and 320 acres in Craighead county, Arkansas." "Have you sold that?" "Yes." "What was the value of it?" "I estimate that the Missouri land was worth about $30,000 and the Arkansas land about $2,000." "For what consideration did you sell it?" "Marriage!" shouted the attorney. "Are you married?" "Yes, I married Miss Nellie Stricklen on December 15. She consented to marry me only on the condition that I sholud deed to her all of my property. I did so."

NO SPLEEN AGAINST TAFT FORMER OFFICIAL SOUNDS A WARNING OF A GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND SPECIAL INTERESTS. Washington, D. C, Jan. 14. Gifford Pinchot's long awaited statement was made public last night. It shows no spleen against President Taft because of his dismissal from the office of forester of the United States. It furnishes no evidence that Mr. Pinchot entertains any feeling of bitterness or soreness because of the disgrace planned upon him. Rather does he pledge himself to support the administration if it shall carry on the Roosevelt conservation policy to which Mr. Pinchot devoted himself with such enthusiasm. But, on the other hand, the statement is permeated by the fighting spirit which has been of such inestimable value in the development of the conservation movemenL It charges that I the amendment to the last sundry civil law bearing the name of CongressYOUNG MEN WANTED GOVERNMENT PAYS RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS $800 TO $1,400 A YEAR.

Acts Alleged Open to Doubt. It proclaims that the principles of conservation have been fixed. The words of all those wh6 are responsible for their enforcement are declared to be fair, but Mr. Pinchot alleges their acts are open to doubt. The statement points out that the conservation commission destroyed by the Tawney amendment made important recommendations. It asserts, without specifically naming President Taft that no action was taken upon these recommendations, and it declares that "no action will be equivalent to bad action, and will have the same results." As the statement is silent In its mention of the president, so it is dumb with reference to Secretary Ballinger. Neither of these officials is on earth unless one can read between the lines of the statement. Of the action of Secretary Balllnger with respect to the cancellation of public lands withdrawals and his course in connection with the Cunningham claims, which led to the dismissal of Special Agent L. R. Glavis, which gave Pinchot so much concern, there is not a word. THIRD SNOW STORM Early this morning there was another light fall of snow. About an Inch of the beautiful now covers the ground and with the icy foundation on the streets, sleighing is in order once more and coasting is also popular with the small boy. The Whitewater river was up several feet yesterday, owing to the thaw, but the colder weather of today has pacified the stream somewhat and the residents of Happy Hollow are resting easier.
