He stated that as the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill standsas a whole, he waB against an indorsement of ; it in the platform; that in his estimation this tariff bill is not a measure drawn in the interests of all the people, and is a bill drawn in the interests of a special few; that be felt bis Btand In this respect reflected the attitude of at least the great majority of the republican voters of Wayne county, and, further

more, Wayne county was not monopolizing that sentiment In the state of Indiana. He said be was for the strongest possible indorsement of Senator Beverldge on account of his great work in the interests of all the people and against the special privileges that have created a favored and powerful few; that here, again,, he believed bis stand' reflected the sentiment of a great majority of the republicans in the Sixth district. He stated he believed President Taft should be indorsed for bis splendid qualities, good intentions and for the dignity with which he was filling bis chair of the highest officer In the land.

Mr. Leeds said he declared himself thus frankly so that the members of the entire Sixth district delegation might know what the man who desired their favor stood for. r.The delegation Is solidly for Judge Comstock, the Sixth district's candl date for the appellate court.

BRIDGE CONTRACTS

BEFORE THE BOAR Dpolish Couple in Search of

These Matters Will Engage the Commissioners at the Monday Session. APRIL TERM STARTS THEN REPORTS OF VIEWERS AND ENGI NEER ON NATIONAL ROAD IMPROVEMENTS WILL ALSO BE MADE TO THE BOARD. The April term of the Wayne coun ty commissioners will begin tomor row. '.; There will be numerous Impor tant matters to come up for consider ation during the month. Next Satur day the board will let contracts for the construction of the Middleboro bridge in Wayne township; the Weav er bridge and Weaver culvert in Dalton township and the approach to the Murray bridge in Jefferson town ship.' On the same day the engineer and viewers for the improvement of the National road west of Richmond are scheduled to make a report, though it is possible that there will be a delay, the engineer to ask for more time to complete the detailed specifications. There seems to be an impression among some - citizens tnat tins im provement is still in doubt. As a matter of fact it is absolutely assured though it is not definitely settled, in sofar as the public knows, just how the roadway will be improved. Wheth er the t prayer of the petitioners will be granted by the viewers in all things or whether some of the features asked for will be "cut out" will develop when the report of the commissioners is made. Neither is there anything definitely known at this .time as to the estimate of the cost of the-im provement, though v the petitioners have from the outset declared that at the outside the cost would not be such that the tax rate will be increased in material degree. The number of cremations in Great Britain last year was 855, an increase of sixty from 11)08. The grand, total of the twelve crematoriums since the opening of the Wowing crematorium in 1885, to the end of last year was 8,121. In 1908 there were 0.508 cremations in Prance. Germany In 1000 cremated 4,770, making a grand total to that date of 23,000 for Germany. William Travers Jerome .once went down to Georgia to address the Georgia Bar association. Colonel Peter Meldrlm was showing Jerome around. "You see that man," said the Colonel pointing out a distinguished person who sat on the hotel porch. "I do." "Well, suh, that Is a man in whom our state takes great pride. He is Judge , suh, the only man in Georgie, who can strut sitting down."

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

New York, April 2. The month of April opened with the stock market hesitating and depressed. Prices underwent a further reaction, and had it not been that stocks were generally in strong hands . the decline might have been still more marked. Nevertheless the big holders had somewhat light ened their burdens and were indispos-. cd to re-enter the market as buyers until concessions of importance could be obtained. It, must be admitted that current developments were temporarily of an unfavorable nature. The advancing tendency in money was adverse to stocks. In London the stringency was, particularly noticeable, the situation there being aggravated by the British budget difficulties. The quarterly and fortnightly settlements in London occurred this v week; added to which the government was obliged to meet unusual financial obligations. This imposed a severe monetary strain I upon London, the high rates for money there necessitating gold exports, from New York. This movement would have begun some time ago bad it not been seen that our adverse trade balance had been partly offset by liberal European takings of our investments estimated ot about $-MH),O0O,0O0. The foreign demand for our securities, however, has suddenly subsided; and the adverse trade balance it is feared will continue until the new crops are available. Considerable quantities of grain and provisions are still held back and these may exported later on. thus partially relieving the export situation. Another depressing factor has been a sudden rush to market new securities in unexpectedly large volume. The railroads continue in need of immense sums to keep facilities equal to demands, and a desire to ta"ke advantage of the first opportunity the market afforded has been accelerated by fear of federal restrictions upon the issue of new securities. The flotations during the montb of March were unusually heavy and it is known that many other important amounts are suspended awaiting the next opportunity. The result is a much congested bond market The new issues have been readily underwritten, but have not yet s found successful i placement with investors. Low rate bonds, more over, are adversely affected by the better rates demanded for money, and tbe necessity of investors securing as large returns as possible in order to meet the increased cost of living. Short term notes are , again coming into prominence as the most feasible method of raising funds for the railroads; On more 0lmnt of weakness ha been the labor situation. The railroads

MURDER THEIR SOU

Wealth Kill a Stranger Whom They Identify. IMPRACTICAL APRIL 1 JOKE (American News Service) Vienna. April 2. A tragedy without parallel Is reported from the province of Gallcla. A Polish emigrant named Przenlkowskl returned to his home in the vil lage of Zielony after an absence of ten years in America. His parents did not recognize him Immediately, so Przen ikowskt pretended to be an intimate friend of their son's. He asked for a night's lodgingr T""The old couple gladly consented to keep him for a night, and plied him with questions. Przenikowskl told them their son had prospered in Am erica, and said that he himself bad $1,250 in bis pocketbook, the result of his savings. . After he retired for the night the old couple decided to kill him and steal his money. They strangled him in bed, and then went through his papers. They were horror stricken to find a passport bearing their own name, and, after examining other documents and certain marks on the dead man, they discovered that they had killed their son. Overwhelmed with horror, Przenikowski's aged father wrote a letter informing the authorities of the circumstances, and then he and his wife hanged themselves. Their bodies were found next morning by a servant suspended from a beam in the living room. FUNERAL OF PATTERSON. Chicago, April 2. The funeral of Robert W. Patterson, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Tribune, who died suddenly in Philadelphia last night, and his mother, Julia Patterson, will be held from the borne of. John M. Ewen, in this cityMonday at 2 o'clock. During a furious storm In , Paris a janitor was struck on the shoulder by a small but heavy tin box which had fallen from an upper story of a house in the Rue de l'Ouest. v The box was found to contain $6,000 in gold and notes. It was claimed at the police station by an elderly woman, who said that the money constituted her savings which she had hidden by tying the box. to the drainpipe outside her window. Gastralgia, or stomachache in people past middle age can come from no end of things from simple indiges ion to gall and kidney stones. There are several types of severe forms of stom achache (abdominal . crisis) that put the best surgeons at sea. For instance the pain and spasm of deadly angina pectoris, neuralgic spasm of the heart. may seem to start in the stomach. At any rate, stomachache past middle age can be a whole lot of things besides ap pendicitis. New York Press. ' generally have made liberal concessions to their employes, which will ma--terlally increase working expenses. How far this will effect net results can not yet be determined; but railroad managers depend for compensation through an increase of traffic, as well as some advance in rates. Railroad earnings, it is encouraging to note, are already making very satisfactory gains compared with a year ago, and the expectations of traffic managers are for a heavy business next autumn, If not . before. Still other causes of uneasiness are, delay in the suprenie court decisions arising from the death of Justice Brewer, am the general political situation, especially regarding the tariff. It is being more and more recognized that the latter question will not down and must again become the subject of political controversy; the high cost of food making the issue all the more inevitable. Such are the unsatisfactory features of the present situation. They have however, been pretty thoroughly discounted, and the general outlook is not unfavorable. On the contrary, there is every prospect of another season of good business, provided we have good crops. If there is one thing more than another which the country requires, it is a much larger product of all agricultural necessities. : This would Insure continued prosperity to the farmers, and afford a much needed relief to the masses by lowering the cost of living and bringing it nearer to the level which prevails abroad. It is of course yet too early to form any opinions re garding the crops, most of the reports of damage to early wheat and cotton naving proved to be exaggerated. It is quite certain, however, that there will be a larger acreage of cotton, wheat and corn. The outlook for meats, however, is not so favorable, since it takes more than a single year to raise a larger crop of beef, mutton or pork. So high prices for meats may be expected for some time to come, unless some relief could be obtained by abolishing the duties on cattle and satisfying a portion of our needs through importation. The iron trade, which is still our chief industry Is in good condition.: There activity prevails and prices are unreasonably high. ; Moreover, many, orders are held back, partly because of the difficulties which the' railroads are having in adequately financing their requirements, and partly because some buyers are holding off In the hope of obtaining concessions. So far as this branch of industry is concerned, there is every prospect of continued activity for months to come, especially as soon as easier money enables railroads to buy store freely.

JEWS CRUISE WITH

THE GERMAN RULER Feeling Thus Engendered Has Caused the Greatest Political Sensation. EXPECT PRACTICAL ADVICE THE JEWS ARE SELF-MADE MEN, BUT ANTI SEMETIC MERCHANTS ARE 0PP08ED TO THESE GET TING A HAND IN AFFAIRS. Berlin, April 2. A great political sensation has been caused in the reactionary circles in Germany by the ostentatious invitations which the Kaiser issued to prominent Jews to accompany him on his cruise in the North Sea. This feeling is emphasiz ed by the presence of popular excite ment with regard to the demand for a more liberal franchise and the help lessness of the authorities to deal ef fectively with the recent socialist demonstrations. His Majesty is now cruising in the North Sea and his quests include" the most prominent Jewish financiers and merchants of Berlin. These are: Herr Paul Schwabach, head of the banking firm of Messrs. Bleichroeder; Herr Fritz Friedlaender, mining magnate; Herr Carl Fuerstenberg, banker; Herr Eniil Rathenau, managing director of the Berlin Electrical Works; Herr Ludwig Delbrueck, banker; Herr Arthur Gwlnner, director of the Deutsche bank. . - All are Jews and are self-made men of more or less plebian origin, and they are all anti-reactionists in politics. When the list of names was made known a shudder ran through tne ranks of , the Prussian Junkers, not only owing to their intense anti-Semi tism, but also because it appears prob able that the emperor will take the opportunity of seeking the advice of these plain, practical men of affairs on the recent political situation, particularly in regard to the Prussian franchise question. ; Obviously the emperor may receive advice from these leading citizens of Berlin which would prove extremely distasteful to the influential court cli ques and reactionary political groupsl whose members desire to procure tbe Kaiser's support for their line of policy. ' Anti-'s Old, And Miss Win sor Issues Challenge and Makes Some Philadelphia, April 2. "Like a wolf on the fold" Miss Mary. Windsor came down upon the anti-suffragist yesterday, at a meeting of "limited," "altogether," "not entirely" and "utterly opposed" suffragists in the Plastic Club houfse. There was spice In the things Miss Winsor said about the women who think it would be unwomanly to vote. First of all. she likened them to Kil kenny cats; then she gave them a dig on the score of their advanced years and "elderly" methods of argument; next she accused them of banding together under the banner of Edward Bok," editor of the-Ladies' Home Jour nal, whose slogan is "the suffragist has a basic aversion to motherhood," and ' lastly, she pitied them on the ground of their limited education. Challenges Two 'Antis.' Miss Winsor, who speaks with tart emphasis and who is not afraid of stinging invective, when it can be applied to an "anti," let loose the vials of her sarcasm on Mrs. Horace Brock and Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt, leaders of the opposition. She challenged them both to make, good their "ambiguous" statements about suffragists, and advised a "closer adherence" to facts and statistics in their speeches. "In one breath," she said.' , "Mrs. Brock tells iy3 women should be subordinate to men, their slaves and servants at all times; in another, she quotes Wordsworth's 'a perfect woman, nobly planned to warm' to comfort and command. How can a woman be a slave and command at the same time. Perhaps this comes within the scope of the anti-suffragist w hose argument teeters up and down. "They tell us our places are by. the fire-side, but they spend "most of their time on platforms and in clubrooms, distributing literature about the danger of the ballot, because it - will take

EYES Oil JEW YORK Nation Watches Political Fight Which .Will Rage in Monroe County.

WILL BE A FIERCE FIGHT f American News Service) Rochester, N. Y. April 2. James S. Havens, one of Rochester's most prominent lawyers, today announced that he would accept the democratic nomination which a conference of democratic leaders last night proffered to him. Prior to the meeting of the republican convention the opposition to Aldridge headed by Rev. Dr, A. S. Crapsey of heresy trial fame met and formed an organization to oppose Aldridge's election and work for Havens. Thus the lines are drawn for what is ex pected to be the hardest political bat tle Monroe county has ever seen. Nation wide interest has been attracted to this fight whose result Is looked forward to as was that in the Fourteenth Massachusetts district, as evidedence as to how the general spirit of revolt which produced the Wash ington insurgents. The state interest largely centers in the question whether there are enough Hughes republicans in Monroeo who will join forces with the democrats to retire Aldridge to private life and end for all time his contest for election. Havens' candidacy will be given all the outside aid that the democratic state convention under the leadership of Wm. J. Conners can bring to bear. GIRLS ARE WALKERS Milton, lnd April 2. The Misses Helen Pfau, Mildred Rieman and Mary Rieman of Connersville, tramped from Connersville to this town, a distance of ten miles in two and a half hours, yesterday morning. Tbe young women have been indulging in morning walks and had made a wager that they could walk to Cambridge City, two miles north of here. After some bantering they took the "dare" yesterday morning. On finding that if they continued their , journey to Cambridge City they could not return home until late in the afternoon, they gave up their plan here and took a train for their homes. : Theodosia: Gold Medal Flour makes lightest bread.

The speaker compared Alice Paul, who was imprisoned ; in England, to Joan of Arc, and said that even in the time of the cave dwellers there were anti-suffragists who said "how shocking!" when a sister had the temerity to leave the cave, and who called her a "shameful hussy" if she dared to try to improve on her savage way of liv ingThere is only one excuse to be of fered for the inaccuracy of statements of those opposed to suffrage," said Miss Winsor, criticising the antis' literature, wbich she maintained . is full of misstatements; "that is their advanced years. Most of the opposition are elderly women who have not the advantage of college education which makes for accuracy.. ' Had I, as a student, in any of the colleges I attended, made as many mistakes in a thesis, as the suffragists do in a paper, I should have been called down unmercifully for not keeping to facts." 0' (American News ServJ) Philadelphia, April 2.

OPERATION WAS HOT SUCCESSFUL

Rcbert Snoop's Leg Badly Affected With Deadly Gangrene Poisoning. HIS LEG IS AMPUTATED THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN STATES THAT THE VEINS ARE AFFECTED AND GIVES SLIGHT HOPES FOR RECOVERY. So badly infected with gangrene nolsoning is the left leg of Robert Sboop, the county infirmary inmate, who underwent an amputation of the leg just below the knee, last week, at Reid Memorial hospital, that the at tending physician does not extend much hope for his recovery. Tbe poisoning has developed in the leg at the point where the operation was made and it seems that the veins are infected. It is said that the medical authorities could continue to amputate sections of the leg and possibly, by that means the man's life might be prolonged. How the man contracted the poisoning is not known, but it Is a case of long standing and one which did not receive . proper treatment, when he and his wife were patients of the charitable institutions of the city, simply because be would not permit proper attention. He is an old rag picker and it is believed, that while engaged in these duties, he contracted the poisoning. Considerable sympathy for tbe man, who is said to be 78 years old, is felt Always a strong and robust man, until affliction overcame him, he steadfastly refused to accept , medical atten tion. In addition to this, be and bis wife refused to go to the poor farm, until forced to leave their hovel on South High street. They left the city temporarily, but the trustee of Har rison, Ohio, where they went, refused to assist them and they came back to this city. He was removed to the poor farm and induced to unudergo the operation. Mrs. Shoop would not go to the institution and took up her res idence with friends in Centerville. EXCAVATE III ROMS (American News Service) Berlin, April 2. The walls of Jericho have been excavated under tbe direc tion of Professor Sellins, who has sent j home to the German Oriental society! particulars of his important discover ies. He says that be brought to light the ruins of the fortifications of the pre-lsraelitish city, consisting of an inner and outer wall. This inn wallwas double and appeared to have been strengthened at intervals with towers. The remains of dwellings of three dif ferent periods were discovered, and underneath them all were quantities of flint implements probably dating back to 4,000 years before Christ. Some distance from the city ; were traces of Jewish settlements belonging to about 800 B. C. Many ancient relics were 1 found here, and lower down the foun dation of a palace of extremely an cient date was discovered. HARD Oil OYSTERS Washington, April 2. Oysters can no longer be fed or as tbe ' trade terms goes "floated in brackish wa ter" before they are offered for sale. The department of agriculture - has ordered that the practice must stop at once. The order affects all the oy ster trade in the United States, and is of immense importance to dealers. Recently the department gave a hearing to the oystermen who main tained that the quality of the oyster is improved by the floating process. The department . of agriculture, however. holds that to float an oyster after it is taken from its bed. provides means for the oyster to take in contamina tion from the water and offers risk of typhoid. Oystermen from the' New Jersey beds came in an organization .200 strong to Washington a few weeks ago to protest against the order, claiming that its enforcement would mean their ruin.
