ALL DANGER MARKS THAT WERE PREVALENT DURING THE EAR,LY SUMMER. . MONTHS HAVE NOW FADED AWAY. . , . TTT- . - BY SIDNEY- ESPEY. Washington, Oct JO. According to an optimistic view ff federal treasury officials, money will , be plentiful throughout .the coming winter month. Although no particular person In the . big . financial -department of the gov ernment wished to get on record as saying that there will not be o "tightness" In the money market. It Is predicted that the"WUi.try will be fairly prosperous and without- the slightest indication of a' panic. ; Secretary Mao. Veagh as well as hit assistant secretaries are keeping a hand on the public pulse 'of the nation's financial and business rlfe,vsnd 'are circumventing any slanting move that might portend financial depression. All danger marks that were prevalent .during the early part of The ".summer' months, they declare have faded away until today all evidences that even a alight tremor of calamity exists have disappeared. ;,'k "' When large hanks in the reserve citiesNew York, ' Chicago and St. Louis saw that a financial panic was on its way and was liable to engulf the country early In the summer, they knew that no help could be expected from the treasury department, such aa waa extended several years ago. The Working .balance of the department Is too low, hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds are outstanding and largo drains for. public - Iraprovments made It .Imperative upon the federal government; to keep a tight hand ou Ita caah drawers. Gold 'Was Plied Up. ' Consequently the banks generally, throughout the country, prepared for what seemed ' 16 be the Inevitable. Gold has been piled' up, reserves strengthened, risky loans cut down and bonds and other securities which might not be easy to sell quickly have turned Into money and held In vaults. Recently large ahlpments wof money have been sent from those reserve cities to smaller htnks, thereby forestalling any possible panicky" movement which might crop up unexpectedly, or nipping .Incipient money stringency that might follow wild trading on the Chicago and New York boards of trade and slock "exchange. x;y From reports, received by experts of the treasury department. Information has been obtained that money Is very plentiful' in England- arid on the continent of Europe. In this country statistics prepared by the. department of agriculture shbw that nearly every crop Is S "bumper, corn set a new record, as well as some of the other staple grains. Four fifths of the corn crop has been gathered, so chances of loss from frost Are small. The oat crop Is .the greatest In years, while - the cotton crop .will be 1.000,000 bales greater this year than last. In' every way possible optimists point out that a money panic or stringency is a long way off. ! ''" : -. - Other 'reports that' have tended to substantiate the opinion held by the treasury experts 1 the unusually prosperous condition of ' the commercial and Industrial, business concerns of the country. ' Europe Is To Sell. From estlmatea received it la pointed out that within the next few weeks Investors all over the country will receive nearly $170,000,006 In dividend checks. , Europe, wlU.be selling mater ial to America, but not to the extent that It did a year ago, hence the de duction that Europeans will owe Am erica money,, or in other words, the balance of trade will be In favor of this country. liars of gold will be hipped to this country from abroad to make up this balance. They will be stored In the mints and subtreasulies of the United States and these certificates Issued and placed In cir culation. - Thus many millions of dol lars will be placed In circulation. The equalisation of Panama bonds and the Issuance of, PhJMppJne bonds will add a great many more dollars to the cir culation. Thua bankers all over the country have become Imbued with optimistic opinions of the treasury officials and freely place loans on good security. i nree years ago wnen a money panic prevailed In thia country and finally spread throughout' Europe, ev ery investor and each individual felt the atraln of "tight, money.! At that time the treasury of the United States was In a very healthy condition and prompt measures were taken to re lieve the acute situation. Today, If auch a altuatlon should arise,' the treasury department could not do a thins to relieve the conditions.' The , terse reason given for hls Is "because It haant got the money." The expense of digging the Panama canal separatee Uncle 8anf from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 a month, and la thua a treat drain on the amount of national ready caah. ?-. r At the beginning, of -operations on the canal It waa intended to build the waterway with' borrowed capital, ob tained by selling bonds. The bonds could not be sold on favorable terms. so It waa necessary to meet the ex penses from 'the working balance In the treasury.-. The amount taken from the public treasury to date amounts to $115,000,000. To Offset Stringency., But to offset the present stringency ta the financial conditio of the Un

ited States treasury, banks all over the country are preparing to float about $500,000,000 of extra currency under the recently passed emergency currency law. Thia of itself, it Is said, will be an ample safeguard against a possible money panic. . Through the timely warning of Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, banks In most of the large cities have fortified themselves, while others are taking the necessary preparations. Mr. MacVeagh believes that the knowledge that Immense sums are available to fight" a" stringency win stop any general movement to take money out of circulation and hoard It In depositaries. "If the United Ststes government would expend the amount of money it paya annually in rent for public buildings It could build and own one every two years." This aasertlon Is made by Supervising Architect Knox Taylor of the treasury department. According to statements sent to congress, over $460,000 is paid out yearly In rents for public offices In the District of Columbia. Of this amount the District of Columbia government pays a rent bill of $50,22$ of which more than $27,000 Is for schools. The militia establishment rental alone Is $18,000. V,' 1 The departments of the federal government because of over crowded conditions pay the following amounts each year for rented offices; State department, $7,490; treaaury, $60,196; war, $59,066; Justice, $30,600; Interior, $55,400; interstate commerce commission, $43,200; navy, $44,920; government printing office, $7,400; United States senate, $3,600; agricultural department. $65,225; postoffice, $49,305; commerce and labor, $83,379; geological survey, $34,900. At the next session of congress, concerted . effort, it is thought, will be made to curtail the annual rent roll. , In all probab'lity, bonds will be Issued to construct a number of public buildings, the interest on which will not exceed the stupendous rent bill that the government is now required to pay..

SUPREME JURISTS WILL HAVE QUITE A BUSY SESSION (Continued from Page One.) six cases to be called the opening day of the October teTm. The tobacco trust and oil trust cases are to be reargued and the clerk of the court has placed them on the docket for November with out any definite date. .In each of these cases the government has assumed the role of "trust buster," because of Its ' at tempt to dissolve "what It deems a trust operating In violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. :' The Tobacco Case. . -t The case against the American To bacco company, generally known as the "Tobacco Trust" is one in which the supreme court must determine if the company Is combination in re straint of trade. Several lower, courts have held It to be such while on the other hand some of the courts have decided otherwise. Attorney General Wickersham is ex pected to personally appear before the supreme court during the argu ments In this suit, although the gov eminent will be represented the great er part of the time by its solicitorgeneral. It is difficult at thia time to foretell the amount Of time this case will occupy before it is disposed of, and on every side the Issue is be ing awaited with great anxiety. This same uncertainty exists as to the final disposition of the Standard Oil esse. v . The contentions of the government In the Standard Oil case are grouped under nine separate heads. Among them are: that, the company, a combi nation in restraint of trade, a monop oly in violation of law,; that Is obtain ed rebates and discriminatory rates in the transportation of its products, as1 against its competitors and that it Is engaged In oppressive methods of competition, thereby destroying the small manufacturers and dealers throughout the country. . Possibly what is considered to be next of importance are the corpor ation tax cases, which have been assigned for reargnment at such time ss a' full bench will be present. No definite date for a hearing has been set Members of Court. The supreme bench today, not including Justice Moody, whose retirement has been provided for by an act of congress, but whose actual retire ment has not been announced, is com posed as follows: John Marshall Harlan of Kentucky, who is seventy-seven years old and who has served thirty-three years; Edrard D. White, of Louisiana, sixty five years old. has served nineteen years; Joseph McKenna, of California, sixty-seven years old. served thirteen years; Oliver Wendell Holmes, of Massachusetts, sixty-nine years old. has been on the bench eight years; William R. Day, of Ohio, former secretary of state under President McKinley, sixty-one years old; has been on the bench seven years; Horace H. Lurton. of Kentucky, sixty-six years old. appointed to the bench January 3 last. Governor Hughes of New York, who was appointed early last summer to fill the vacancy on the bench caused by the death of Associate Justice Peckham, and who was Immediately con firmed by the senate, will be sworn in aa associate justice on the first day of October term. This formality will be the first order of business when the court convenes. In following the custom of the court Governor Hughes will take two oaths. One Is. provided by a statute of law and la known as the judiciary oath. The ceremony 3 is - performed at. the desk, of the clerk of the court, in the presence of the bench, the court offi cers, members of the bar and visitors. The other oath Is that administered

to all 'persons entering "the government service. In the case of a su

preme court justice it is administered by the preaidlng Justicein the robing room of the court and in the presence of the associates. Hughes is Favorite. It is generally believed President Taft will appoint Governor Hughes to fill Chief Justice Fuller's place. How ever, this important appointment Is hardly expected until after congress convenes. Associate Justice Harlan has been frequently mentioned In connection with being made the next chief jus tice. President Washington was the only president, who ever named an associate justice for chief Justiceship of the supreme court. He appointed Jobn Rutledge of South Carolina in 1795, to succeed John Jay. The ap pointment was made during the recess of congress and- Rutledge served as chief Justice until a few days after congress met the following December, when his nomination was acted upon adversely and his name was withdrawn. The name of Attorney General Wickersham has been mentioned in connection with one of the vacancies on the supreme bench. ' Louis Marsh all, a member of the firm of Samuel Untermeyer of New York, and former Secretary of War Luke .Wright, also have been spoken of. Before final adjournment next May the cSurt will have taken several recesses in order that its members may study the cases before them and to prepare opinions. The first recess will be during the last three weeks in No vember. The second will be during' the last two weeks in December and another late in March. It depends up on the progress of the court and the nature of the work, whether a fourth recess will be necessary. CROWDS GREET HIM Large Audiences Heard Ad dresses of the Rev. Arthur Dann on Sunday. OPENED UNION MEETINGS Fine crowds greeted Rev. Arthur Dann of Relgate,. England at the South Eighth Street Friends church yester day, both afternoon and evening. The evening servise represented the beginning of the union meetings proper, aa the other Friends churches of the city held their regular services In the morning. But Rally day had been observed in the South Eighth Street Sunday school and .Rev. Mr. Dann had given a splendid address to the largest attendance the school had had for a year. And the audience at the morning service waa unusually large, with six other Friends' ministers pres ent to assist Rev. Dann In the opening service. "Witnessing" was the subject of the line evening address and it was lis tened to by a large audience who were much moved by it There was an after sirvlce which was' also full of power. ' The meetings will continue up to and Including Friday night, beginning with a service of prayer in the parlors of the church at 7 o'clock, followed by the service in the auditorium at 7:30. All are invited to these meetings. Special music at each service. A VANDAL IS FINED A drunken Italian named Sam Moreski broke into Clendenin's tannery. early Sunday morning, and after wan dering around among the vats and machinery went up stairs where he found a box of barrel bungs. These he brought down into the office and scattered them promiscuously around He then broke another window and climbing out went to the'Pennsylvania station where he was arrested. This morning in police court the man received a fine of SI and costs for public intoxication. When arrested the Italian had a little over $35 In his pocket but he claims that he had more - Saturday. Moreskl says he was robbed just before going into Clendenin's tannery. He went there, he claims, to avoid being robbed of the remainder of his money. He was afraid of another Italian? TALK ABOUT CHURCH At the October monthly meeting of Friends on October 19th, the question of construction of a church on the Earlham campus for the West Side Friends will be a matter up for discussion. . The members of this congregation met at Earlham college Sunday afternoon and talked the matter over but no conclusion was reached. .There are several conflicting questions which are still in dispute and which must be settled before the body will act.

Corporation License Bill to. be Pushed Quite Vigorously

BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, Oct 10. According to the talk around Republican congress ional headquarters. President Taft's ' bill to license ' corporations doing an interstate commerce business will be reported to the house from the judiciary committee, and an effort made to pass it before adjournment for the Christmas holidays. This was the last measure on the president's administration program to be introduced in the house at the last session of congress. The bill was drawn by Attorney General Wickersham after consultation with Representative Parker of New Jersey, chairman of the house judiciary committee, and was approved by the president. It was introduced in the house by Mr. Parker and by him referred to a subcommittee for consideration. But owing to the complications that arose over the railroad rate bill, and the desire to give that measure the preference,the bill to license corporations was permitted to go over te the December session. Since the adjournment of congress June 25, last, friends of the corporation license bill have been busily at work creating sentiment in favor of the measure, and it is asserted by friends of the administration that this last number on the president's legislative program will be put through. It is understood that the insurgents, who were barred from the patronage counter during the last session, but who are now welcomed by the presi dent, will vote for a special rule, if necessary to put through the corpora tion license bill without undue debate. Judging from the petitions on -file in the house judiciary committee, the corporations that do interstate commerce business are heartily in favor of the proposed law because its enactment will serve, In a large measure as a bulwark against petty annoyances imposed by drastic state laws. Opponents of the measure base their opposition on the ground that such a law would create friction between the states and federal government, and might engender no end of litigation. However, as the president seems to have a majority of the house with him it is not improbable that he will win out. The real Ight on the measure' will take place in the senate. "Unless I am greatly mistaken, the democrats will make a clean sweep In New York in November," said Representative J. Edwin Ellerbe, of South Carolina, who has just made a tour of the Empire state. "At democratic headquarters," said he. "I found the boys hard at work. They were in the best of spirits and most optimistic. Reports from, all over the country, speak of harmony In the ranks. Indeed, It reminds me of the campaign of 1890, the year of the democratic landslide. I am so confident of success that I have filed my application for 'shieker' for Champ Clark's mules which he is to drive down Pennsylvania avenue, as he has promised in the event 'of the democrats carrying the next house.. It will be a , novel sight to see Champ Clark, who will no doubt be Speaker Cannon's suc cessor, behind a pair of Missouri mules on his way to the capitol to be sworn in as speaker. "Ol the many senators I have known none of them was more suave or diplomatic than Ransom of North Carolina," remarked a veteran employe of the senate indulging in rem in iscences. "I went down to North Carolina with a congressional funeral party some years ago, and Ransom was along. When the train stopped at a station Ransom got out, shook hands with every man on the platform and told each' one that be had left im portant business In Washington to attend that funeral with the hope of seeing him even for a moment But what surprised me most," continued the veteran employe, "was that every mother's son of them believed it. Hansom naa a very , winning way about him. When we arrived at the town where the funeral was to be held we had to drive six miles in open car riages against the chilly wind, with out having had dinner, and then sat In a cold church to listen to a sermon for two hours. Ransom was hungry as a wolf and chilled through, as we all were, and after the preacher had been going It about three quarters of an hour he commenced to snap his watch, but it' didn't do any good. The preacher kept right on with his discourse. When it was concluded we were all so faint with hunger and cold we could hardly stand, but Ransom was revived for the occasion, and as soon as the benediction was pronounced he rushed to the pulpit, grabbed both of the preacher's hands, and told him he was never so much interested and edified by a sermon in his life, and his only regret was that he didn't preach longer. When he saw that the preacher swallowed that he actually asked him to repeat the sermon the first time he (Ransom) came to town. You can take it from me that in this line of campaigning Ransom had no superior in the sen ate. If the postal savings bank system proves the success expected by the president It will be followed, it is said by the postoffice department offi cials with a strong recommendation to congress for legislation to enlarge the powers of the postoffice depart ment by Installing parcels post deliv ery. This subject was before the house committee on posto Sices and postroads last session, the committee devoting several days to hearings, but nothing definite was done beyond referring the matter to a subcommittee with Instructions to report to the fall committee at the short session of con gress. -;. Advocates of the parcels post as sert that under existing law the postoffice department is warranted In accepting for the mail small parcels that ate now shipped by express. As

the insurgents are backing this reform it is thought that the house will have an opportunity to go on record

before the close of congress. The principal opposition to the parcels post, as manifested at the hearings last session, came from the country merchants, who said that in their udgment a parcels post would en able the big department stores in the cities to close up the country stores. IS FIT AS FIDDLE Senator Beveridqe Todav Starts on Hard Campaign Ready for the Work. HIS VOICE IS STRONG AGAIN Indianapolis, Oct. 10. Feeling "fit as a fiddle' and all tuned up to the work of his third strenuous week of campaigning. Senator Beveridge appeared at the Sun office this mornng and after glancing over copies, of three Indianapolis papers, strode ' off to catch a car for Jeffersonvllle where he delivered an address this afternoon. The senator's voice had its old time ring and all of the hoarseness which bothered him last week had vanish ed. This week's itinerary will lie mostly in the southern part of the state and will be carried out largely by traction' and train, with a few brief motor spans. The schedule Is as follows: Mfnday afternoon, Jeffersonvllle; evening. Newalls. Tuesday afternoon, Orleans; even ing, Bedford. Wednesday afternoon, Bloomington; evening, probably Danville, IH.

Arguing against the eating of meat, an English writer remarks: "Almost any animal can be made to eat flesh. The kangaroo bas canine teeth. Horses, oxen and sheep may be taught to eat flesh. Norwegian cows have been known to eat flesh. Goldsmith saw a sheep eat flesh. Spallanzani bas shown that a pigeon may be made to live on flesh and an eagle on bread." PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.

COUNTY DEMOCRATS FIGHTJOOSEVELT Counter Attraction at Hagerstown on the Night the Coldnel Speaks Here.

HOT CAMPAIGN IS PLANNED GOVERNOR MARSHALL, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN AND OTHER "BIG GUNS" WILL BE SENT HERE THIS FALL. , ' "You see, we are following -tie re publicans up and intend to ". refute their arguments and will show the inconsistencies of their stand on certain questions and arguments," said Charles Beck, chairman of the democratic central committee of Wayne county, on Monday morning after discussing the campaign which the committee has planned to conduct In old Wayne. The democratic campaign opens in Wayne county on Thursday evening, October 13, the evening that Theodore Roosevelt and W. L. Taylor of Indianapolis speak in this city. L. Ert Slack of Franklin, one of the more noted democrats of the state, and a defeated candidate for gubernatorial and senatorial nominations, will speak at Hagerstown, Thursday. Despite the fact that Roosevelt Is to appear at the coliseum the democrats are predicting a most auspicious opening of the fall campaign In the county at Hagerstown on Thursday evening. Bryan Will Speak. William Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb., will be the big card on the demo cratic campaign in, the county, although Governor Thomas R. Marshall and Samuel W. Ralston will speak here. Bryan, known to fame because of the frequent races which he has made for president and the ability he shows every four years "to come back," is a campaigner who always heretofore, In Richmond as elsewhere, has attracted big crowds. He Is count ed on to do the same this year. He is to be here on October 20, speaking at the coliseum in the evening. Samuel W. Ralston, who was an opponent to Governor Marshall. I Ert Slack and Thomas J. Kuhn. in 1908, when the democrats selected Marsh all as the state leader, will speak at the Cambridge City meeting on Octo ber 17. In all probability Governor Marshall will close the campaign In the country. He will expound democratic principles on October 26 at the coliseum. " ' ' FOR DRESSED MEATS In order to facilitate the handling of dressed meats, provisions and other perishable freight In New York harbor, the Pennsylvania railroad has in augurated a refrigerator barge service. This innovation was adopted after much experimenting as to s the best method of handling this character of traffic where it is impracticable to make delivery in the original car and where the company must furnish pro tection against heat in summer and cold in winter. Ordinarily this protection has been afforded by refrigerator cars. The situation at the port of New York, however, differs from other Atlantic ports in that steamships have no rail connections at their piers and freight must ie delivered by floats. It was to supply this, need that the Pennsylvania railroad inaugurated its refrigerator barge service. , If you are troubled with tc head acne, cod Btipetion. indigestion, offensive breath or any disease arising from stomach trouble, get a 50c or Si bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrnp Papain.
