INDIANA SYSTEM DECLARED TO BE LESS EXPENSIVE

Report Today Shows Indiana State Institutions Maintained Cheaper Than in New York State. (ColltilllH d I'lOlll Page One) in Iniliiin.i unil half a cent higher ih.m tri Iowa. Commenting on this Mr. Wright nays: "The fac t I hat I ho beef in the New York ntate Institution wr.is examined ! last June, ami u large proportion of it condemned, and I hf pa I cih tln-rrup-on Instructed to deliver beef according to lln Hpccilicatiou. may possibly enter In a h a partial explanation of this midden iIhc in the price of beef In New York, as compared with Indiana ami Iowa. "It would bo expected that the same Km do of href in New Yk stale as in Indiana and Iowa would naturally cost Komewhat more than in I hose plates, due to heavier freight charges, so Home other explanation than bet tor buying facilities in New York mu?i enter In to explain the fact that previous to October, !!U," the juice of beef has been higher in Iowa and Indium than In New York. The former low price of beef in New York, was undoubtedly due to the fact that the packer bid upon ami delivered a poorer grade of meat than was specified III their contract s. This is dearly xhown by the facts set forth in the foregoing report of New York state." The Food Consumed. In coin pari )g the manner in which I the food and supplies were handled, under the three systems, Mr. Wright found that the inmates of the Institutions In Indiana, wph no central control, consumed 1,1 pounds of food per eapita per year, which, by an expert dietician, is considered an ample amount; the inmates in New York ntate institutions, with partially centralized control, consumed 1,-27 )Hunds of food per capita per year; while Iowa, with Its complete centralized control, consumed 1 .42:! pounds per capita per year. these findings lead Mr. Wright to believe that further centralization of control of state institutions In New York ntate would add materially to the cost of operating the institutions and would not produce coinm'iisurate result . Mr. Wright round the Iowa board of control compotted of men of high reputation who apparently exerted every effort to properly rare for state institutions. It was not. however, doing better work than the purchasing commit tec In New York, and not as good work as Individual superintendents were doing In Indiana. City Statistics Marriage Licenses.

RECRUITED PLAYERS ARE USUALLY STUNG Great and Heal 'Phenoms" Graduate in Late Sum- . mer from Minors.

These are great days for the young recruits th- eager juveniles who have assembled from near and far at the call of the mugnoots. The kids already see thensclves parading in the big league fiel;. the idols of the throb bing throngs, and every jackass of th in all imagines that lie is sure to make good, to lciiome a regular performer and to realize his full ambitions before May 1, 1911. Poor, deluded gazolwins! Hard is tin- lot of the youngster, and scanty are his springtime chance's, lie is up again it it good and plentiful. The oild s afjiinst him are far heavier than againt-t the veteran, no matter how rust v (( older man may br. I low so? Why doesn't the limber kill stand the better show? For hefty reasons, reasons that nip both coming and going a t1 stop him. no matter how he may aper on the green. If the boy puts all h'tt energies into the first few days and breaks his legs in his mad bustling lie will create a great impression. Ho-ibes and managers will look at the agilo young sheep as he goes over th? hurdles and declare that he is a wvinc.er. a genuine marvel, dead sure to make the team. And the fool kid vil go ahead till he is so lame, that he can't move a hoof, and has to lay oTf. with legs, arms and shoulders full of aches and st rains. That cooks his gooselet. By the time he is again fit to move around, the veterans, who have been laying low and taking it easy, are in shape; the skies are balmier: thes sun is warmer; the old fellows rise up, show I heir ancient speed as they stretch their rusty joints and the early work of the juvenile is noon forgotten. Just because he tried to make good, he has committed baseball suicide and his name is Dennis McPants. Well, then, suppose he is foxy, and refuses to let himself out in the early days, holding bac k just like the veterans? In that case, everybody promptly decides that he js a lazy shirk; tluit he either lacks the .abi'.ito make good, or is so devoid of popper thai he cannot show his quality, lie is tagged N. C. right off the reel, and ftron't even get the chance to parade when the warmer weather comes. Possibly ho may be extra intelligent and will figure that he can show enough class to make an impression, and yet rot si rain his back to soon. Good reasoning, but it won't work, because the manager will see only mediocre performances, and will stamp thp boy as a bu.di leaguer, who is far from ripe. That means back to the timbers by April 1, and no getting around the derision. Hard Indeed is the' lot of the kidlet. If he hustles he floes himself up, and if he spares himself they kick him out for la in ess. How on earth can you got around such a complicated situation? You can't that's all. The junior recruit hasn't as much show as a safely razor at a black picnic. The only chance is that ho showed such absolutely dizzling quality in the minors that the big leaguers are nlty over him. and will stick to him char up to April 12. The great young players of the big leagues are not found in the spring training camps. They are the men who were picked up from the minors in late summer or early fall, strong and seasoned by a long campaign, and injected Into crippied major clubs. The poor kids who make the training trips don't slick and don't make good because every circumstance is dead against them. A BASEBAU COACH Is Wanted to Teach Japanese the Sport.

A COMPLAINT MADE OH MAyusiss RaiVroads Say It Docs Not Pay as Well as Does Express Business.

(Palladium Speriall Pittsburg. Pa., April :;. According to statistics just compiled by the Railway Mail committee from reports submitted on forms prescribed by the Post Olfice Department by is? in ilwavs, operating I7V710 miles on which there are 2,411 mail routes, the railways of the I'pitod States not nn!y receive less compensation for handling the mails than they n ceive for handling express, but in proportion to the ! cost incurred by the roads and the valine of the service rendered by them no ; compensation they receive for hand- ! ling the mails is less than that received for any othu- service, j For the year ending June :;, 19"9 the average earnings per passenger 'train mile was S 1 .HT while- the average p r freight train mile was $l'.TJ. The i average passenger train is :ptu feet long and if ii carried mail only in all its cars it would earn only 97 cents per mile. Is Leat Profitable. The railways receive less from mail than from either express or passengers the other services rendered by passenger trains while the total from the three is less than half of that received from freight. These figures j ;ire based on the amount the railway I received for hauling one foot of car j space one mile in the transportation ! of passengers, mail and express. In November 1909. the railways hauled 1.1 3:5.1 10.254 feet of car space in tho transportation of mail for which they received $:;,721.79l!.00; 1.320.10S.5S9 feet one mile in the transportation of oxprss for $5,075,222.00, and 9,902,370.150 feet one mile in the transportation of passengers lor $4:.7:5S,72:5.0. The average revenue per one thousand foot miles equivalent to hauling a train of twenty 50 foot cars one mile was therefore as follows: Mail, $3.23; express, $.:;; passengers. $4.42. tho roads receiving 19 per cent more per foot mile for hauling express and 157 per cent more for hauling passengers than they received for hauling the mails. This method of comparison was used as tho railroads claim it is manifestly unfair to compare the rate per ton on mail and express since under the regulations and orders of the Post Office Department railway postal cars are limited to an average capacity of about three tons while express cars carry from 20 to :50 tons. Tho Post Office Department requires the railways to haui 22 tons of car for each ton of mail, while the express companies comply with tho demands of the railways that express matter shall be economically loaded. In addition, the railway companies cany the mails between stations and post offices at six-sevenths of the mail stops. This service the Postmaster-! Coneral has estimated would cost the Department $4.!::.imm).ihi annually if rendered bv it.- No such service is rendered the express companies. Postal eletiks are carried free while on duty and between the ends of their lines and their homes and the roads furnish annually $1 .imio.oou.iiO of free transportation to various postal officials. All these persons have the Jegal status of passengers anil the railways are required to pay damages in case of injury. The express companies assume all such liability for their employer. Tho railroads receive pay for every pound of express they haul but under the system of weighing the mails only once in four years, the roads get no compensation for the carriage of the increase during this j period, averaging ' per cent, or about $:;,0no.0u0.iMi worth of service per year. From 11MI7 to l'MO the expense of tho Post Office Department increased about S p, oiio. noil. no but the railroads though thoy handled 22 per cent more mail, received $:;52.7f..nO less in mo than in 10t7. L JACK IS DESPERATE That Jail Sentence Getting on His Nerves. (American News Service) San Francisco. April Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, who is serving a twenty-five day sentence in the jail for auto speeding, is making a vigorous effort to sec ure his release so he can appear in New York on April 10 to defend himself in a ?l,mo damage suit. He has received a telegram from his eastern attorneys informing him : that it was impossible to secure a continuance and that unless Johnson was I on hand a judgment would be render- ; ed against him. j Tho colored champion was permitted to leave the jail to visit his sick 1 brother and while thus temporarily at i liberty he visited District Attorney ' Fiekert. and explained the situation, j He promised if he was released on ' parole he would not only agree never ' again to violate the speed law s, but would dispose of his automobiles. Fiekert refused to give the champion any encouragement. He said he would consult Police Judge Treadwell today and if that official was willing to consent to a parole he would take the matter under advisement. Johnson already has lost a $1,730 theatrical contract and if he loses the suit his disregard of the California laws will prove very expensive. Gava Him a Tip. "Did they give you a tip?" asked a restaurant proprietor of a new waiter who had just served his first customers. "Yes, eorr." was the reply. "They told me I had betther so and carry a

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

It has been latgely a specialty market during the past week and the investment demand seems to h4ve boon largely satisfied by tho liberal offerings of new issues and short term notes. The April disbursements will an roach nearly .130.0uO,im0 and should stimulate temporarily at least tho demand for better grade stocks and bonds. Tho chief causes of hesitation with buyers appear to be tho approaching session of congress and delay in the supremo court decisions. it is nor yet realized 'by tho general public that these factors in the opinion of our influential bankers have been thoroughly discounted. Financial liquidation, they believe, is complete and has been unusually thorough and drastic. Jt is safe to say that the financial situation is sounder than has been the case for several years. This opinion is shared by all our leading bankers and financiers who are in position to reach sound conclusions. The average investor however, is discouraged, chiefly by that which is closest at hand, lie sees that his own business is quiet and less profitable than a year or two ago. Being in a depressed staio of mind, he is naturally indisposed to enter Wall street, for the present at least. General business is unquestionably unsatisfactory, and this explains the absence of tho outside public, whether as investors or speculators. Tho cotton goods industry for instance, is still much hampered by high raw material and high'eosts of production, and no improvement can bo expected until these factors have been reduced. The position of our textile manufacturers is anything but satisfactory, not to speak of pending tariff agitation. There are other industries in a similar position from which they can only be extricated by further liquidation. It nevertheless remains true that the financial outlook is growing brighter daily. This is recognized by the heads of largo financial institutions, and much of the buying of the last few weeks has been from sources of this character. The amount of quiet absorption of high grade investments by shrewd judges is much arger than generally anticipated and it is this movement which gives the market its present strong undertone. The most potent consideration is that stocks today yield much better returns than money, a situation which is recognized by a class of wealthy operators who are quietly borrowing money at lowrates and placing the proceeds in securities which they are confident will bring much better prices later on. This probably explains the expansion in bank loans of $155,0iio,00n during tho last two months. No uneasiness, however, should follow at this expansion, for the banks gained $73,(iiMi.nnu in cash during that interval and deposits increased $192,000,000. These figures show a distinct bet torment in banking conditions and should prove an important element in restoring confidence. There is no better panacea for dull business than an DEAD MAN Is SUED Late David Moffat Is Named a Defendant. (American News Service) New York. April I!. David II." Moffat, the multi-millionaire financier and railroad builder of Colorado, who died recently in this city, is named as defendant in a suit for trial in fedoral court today. Mr. Moffat had made many trips to New York for tho trial of tho suit, which was as often postponed, and on his final visit to the city ho had expected that the matter would bo finally threshed out in the courts. Owing to the death of Moffat, the trial was again postponed today. Reginald Vail of London brought the suit, which involves ?l,soo.ooo. Early in his career as a railroad builder, Mr. Moffat was bitterly fought by several railroad interests in Colorado and had groat difficulty in securing funds to finance his railroad project. When everything seemed darkest he met in this city the English promoter, Vail, who said he could raise the money needed in England. An English en - gineer was sent out to Colorado at Moffat's expense to look over the property. Vail, according to Mr. Moffat, failed to produce results and Moffat secured the needed money elsewhere. Later Vail brought the $1.SOO,000 suit against the Colorado railroad builder alleging that a memorandum which Moffat had made was a contract and j embraced au option on the bonds of j the Moffat road. Moffat's attorneys) contend that the memorandum was, neither a contract nor an opiion, and, that whatever it was. Vail was unable ' to carry out any part of it. i NEW PAUPER ATTY. EACH COURT TERM

abundance of cheap money such as now exists and as soon as existing doubts disai per we snal! probably see a partial revival at least in trade activity. The ease in money is practically worldwide, London. Paris and all other important international markets being well supplied with cheap money. Moderate amounts of gold have been shipped from this point to Canada owing to rapid development in that region, and it, would cause no surprise if further sums were to follow, for the reason that large sums of Canadian money have been on deposit in New York and will now bo required to meet the opening of spring trade and the rush of emigrants to that part of the world. Tho prospect of reciprocity with Canada is also stimulating various now enterprises on both sides of the border. This week the special session of congress begins, its program will be watched with considerable interest. It is to be regretted that consideration of the tariff could not be postponed and attention devoted exclusively to reci) roeity, tho purpose for which the osssion was called. As for tariff agitation there is no need for becoming unduly alarmed. No radical revision is in sight. An attempt may bo made to cuf down tho peaks in the tariff schedules, one of the most conspicuous being that of wool and woolens. Apparently the attack will be concentrated upon schedule K. A great deal of discussion and political fireworks is to be expected, but actual changes do not promise to be serious, for the government is much in need of revenue, and this fact alone will prevent and radical cutting of tariff rates. We are still inclined to the belief in a better market. All known conditions have been amply discounted. Liquidation has been thorough. Wall street invariably discounts commercial and industrial movements. It has thoroughly discounted trade reaction and is now willing to anticipate trade recovery. Much will depend upon the crops. Should these prove satisfactory recovery is inevitable. Spring is hero with the soil generally in good condition. Tho snowfall has been abundant and only in sections is there any scarcity of rainfall. A large acreage is in prospect this -year, and with improving agricultural methods there is every reason to anticipate a record output under favorable meterological conditions. Weak points in tho financial world have been thoroughly eliminated by drastic liquidation, and the all powerful leverage of cheap money is, sooner or later bound to be reflected in enhanced values among the bettor grade of securities. Abroad tho situation is favorable to American securities, since money is cheap and seeking employment at a time when opinion is more favorable than usual to American investments. Among ifpproacing events is an issue of $50,000,000 Panama 3 per cent bonds, the treasury being in need of funds considering a declining reserve and the prospect of diminished customs revenue.

Meyers told the senate investigating committee how he and two other Montana assemblymen accepted $10,000 each on the promise to vote for Clark. Immediately afterward Meyers appeared on the floor of the Montana iiouse. waving aloft thirty thousanddollar bills, and deposited the money on the Speaker's desk, and in a dramatic speech charged Clark with corruption and bribery.

NEW DISPUTE OVER

THE PROCTOR LAW Pertains as to Fees to Auditor for Manufacturers', Jobbt ers' Licenses. Still another contention has arisen in regard to tae Proctor liquor legisla tion as it affects Wayne county. Manufacturers and wholesalers who wish to do a wagon delivery business in Richmond, distributing quantities of not less than one g.tllon nor more than five gallons, under the new law are required to take out a manufacturer's or wholesaler's license, for which the fee is fixed at $::m.

Each of the saloonists to whom licenses were issued declared they leased the buildings in which they conducted their places of business. Tho commissioners did not demand to see the leases, but the attorney for the applicants promised that he would introduce them if tho commissioners desired. The purpose of knowing whether a saloonists leases or owns the guilding in which he operates his saloon is to discover whether any outside party is directly interested with the applicant for licenses. DODGED JITO BLOW Which Blacked His EyeJust in Play. With his larboard eye black, blue and almost closed from a blow struck by Earl Kelloy, Earl Taylor was in police court this morning to testify against Kelley. "Oh, he just did It for fun," said Taylor when he went on the stand. "We've always been friends. We just have a little habit of playing with each other. Tho trouble occurred in the Coliseum Saturday night. I shoved "Toad" and then ho ran after me. 1 wouldn't have got it, except I dodged right in the way of his fist." Taylor was knocked down, and a special police officer arrested Kelley, although Taylor refused to file charges. The court held this morning that that sort of play was "rude" Kelloy got $1 and costs. Alonzo Steele, Charles Steele and John Steele, brothers, wore fined $1 and costs each for public, intoxication. After Alonzo Steele is released from an 11-diiys sentence at the county jail he will charged with assault. It is alleged he attempted to cut Willis Ferris, of South Eighth street with a razor. Earl Webb, negro, was fined $5 and costs for assault and battery. A similar case against Clyde Tracy, negro, was postponed until Monday. Henry Marhardt and J. J.
