THE GOLONEL

Pennsylvania Senator Called "Embodiment' of All That Is Worse in Politics and Business.' ,

NEW LAWS DESIRED

By the County Auditors, Mr. Bowman States.

(National New Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 23. "Mr. Penrose is the embodiment and represent atlve of all that is worse in our busi ness and political ife he deliberate

ly and wilfully misrepresented me, J but 1 welcome his opposition," was j the way Col. Roosevelt answered the attack of Senator Penrose when he reached his office today. The Colonel reiterated in forceful terms the statement 1n which he places Penrose in the Ananias club, end denied emphatically that he knew of tho . Standard Oil contribution, or that he wrote the letter to CortelyOu, asking that the contribution be refused as a means of furnishing good campaign material. The statement in part follows: "Mr. Penrose is the embodiment rnd representative of all that is worse in our political life and worst in the ill!ance between business and politics which has done so much harm in this country, and I hail his opposition with rnfelgned Joy. We, the Progressive party, are the mortal enemies of Mr. Pfnrore and his kind and all the hideous people which they-represent in our public life. The statement that Mr. Perkins underwrote the sum of f j 000.000 or any sum resembling that rrrount to finance my primary cam-

1 aign Is a deliberate and wilful false-J l ood which Mr. Penrose knows to be I llee, when he makes It, The state-1 F'ent. that the letters' written by mej to Mr. Cortelyou were not genuine rnd , were not accepted as genuine, were written only for the record, is a deliberate and wilful falsehood, which Mr, Penrose knows to be false vhen he states it. There is nothing I welcome more than Mr. Penrose's oproslt'rn, and Mr. Poindexter pointed rut the attitude when ; he said Mr. I Penrose and his allies In the 6enate, Republicans and Democrats alike were i in a conspiracy to serve the corruption of politics and business alike by ndravoring through . slandering and r??ndacity to oppose the only men end the only party which seriously endangers rule of corruption in politics and finance. ,That Is the Progresfive party, and its candidates. "My first letter, written as soon as

I heard rumors that the Standard Oil

I then received from Mr. Qortelyou the statement that my wishes would be complied .with. If ajiy was received It was not only without my' knowledge but against my emphatJc objection." v., '.- - .

One of the most Important matters broached and discussed at the annual meeting of the association of couny auditors of the state, which ended yesterday at Indianapolis, is that of attempting to have a law enacted which will transfer the handling of the mortgage exemptions from the county auditor's office to the office of the county assessor, in the opinion of Lewis Bowman, Wayne county auditor, who attended the meeting. Mr. Bowman asserts that this will relieve the auditor of a great deal of work. He also says that this work should be done in the assessors' office. At the special meeting of the county auditors of the state, to be called between December 10 and 15, for the purpose of discussing needed legisla

tion, this matter will be brought up. A more equitable and uniform system for the taxation of lands In Indiana was also proposed and a resolution was adopted, instructing the legislative committee of the association to confer with the state tax board concerning a bill covering this subject, to be presented to the next legislature. It is the idea to provide for a classified assessment of lands in each section division in the state and

that it is believed that such classified assessemnts should be given shown on the plate and other records. By this system, it is believed, it would be easy to assess lands equitably according to class such as first-class land, second-class land, etc.

STDDY SURVEYS OF PROPOSED ROUTE Engineers of the Huntington, Richmond & Hamilton Line in the City.

CHANGES IN COUNTY SCHOOLS

NASH ADMITS GUILT Confesses He Robbed Mail Boxes in Cleveland.

R. G. Culbertson, of Chicago, chief

engineer, and C. E. Hollinger, assist

ant engineer, for the proposed Huntington, Richmond and Hamilton traction and steam railway company, are in this city today, completing maps of surveys on that part of the proposed line between Huntington to Richmond. Messrs. Culbertson and Hollinger were at the court house most of the day studying maps of the various townships through -which the line is to be constructed.' It is understood that the H. R. &

H. company intends to push the preliminary work for the construction of the line. Fred Binel and Judge J. M. Smith, both of Portland, -who are two of the main stockholders in the company, are desirous of seeing the proposed road ready for traffic as soon as possible, according to statements made by the two engineers. The proposed company will use a stretch of road, already constructed, between Huntington and Portland, for the operation of its traffic. The

new line will be built between Portland and Richmond and Hamilton. One rather odd feature at least for this section of the country, to be put in operation by the new company, is that the passenger cars will be run by traction motors, while steam locomotives will be used to transport freight. The new line will touch but few towns, according to the present plans and specifications. The towns and cities which the line will reach are Huntington, Portland, . Union City, Richmond and Hamilton. The road will run near Bethel and Whitewater. As far as is known there are no local stockholders in the company.

Lewis Nash, who was arrested Wednesday at Farmland, Ind., by Federal Inspector McDougall, on the charge of breaking open and robbing street mail boxes in Cleveland, was brought before Perry J. Freeman, United States commissioner here, yesterday afternoon. Nash pleaded guilty to the charge and was bound over to the United States district court. His bond was fixed at $1,000. This morning In spector McDougall, of Cleveland, took Nash to Indianapolis where he was placed in the Marion county jail to await his hearing. It is probable that the case will be transferred to the United States district court at Cleveland. Nash admitted breaking open six street mail boxes. He said that he secured between $50 and $65 from letters which he took from the boxes, Nash was working on a construction gang at Farmland when arrested.

About 300 of them followed Virginia Brooks to the council chamber and watched the proceedings. The licenses of seven resort and saloonkeepers were revoked. The council was evenly divided. Mayor Wootynski, saloonkeeper and accused of accepting a bribe, cast the deciding vote. It was always in the interest of the reformers. Davis had promised to lead in a resort smashing raid if the council did not revoke the licenses. He was not there. Inquiries showed he had not been seen since he had promised to take part in the crusade. It is believed he has been shanghaied. Officers are seeking him. He had threatened the life of the resort keeper who stole his daughter. The authorities are investigating the burial without permits of persons

who died in one of the resorts.

It was stated today that the forgeres and false notes issued by Emmett

Druley, of near Fountain City, which j

resulted in him leaving the country some time ago, are to be' made good by his family. It is reported authoritatively that Druley is now located in Missouri, near St. Louis and that he has sent for his wife and children to come and live with him. They are supposed to leave for Missouri this week. Druley got into debt, forged names of relatives and secured about $8,000. Then he left. He was found to have bought a ticket to Peru from Williamsburg. He left the train at Muncle, however, going to Martinsville, where he re-embarked for Chicago, going from there to St. Louis where he obtained employment running a gasoline engine. Here he was found by tracers sent out by the American Bankers' association. The young man's father, Edward Druley, took charge of his son's prop

erty northwest of Fountain City, paid all the debts, including the false notes, and a3 a result young Druley will not be prosecuted.

National News Association) CHICAGO. Aug. 23. Only one obstacle today, stood In the way of a peaceful settlement of the street car strike question. That obstacle is the wage scale. Concessions made by both sides in late conference yesterday cleared away any ' differences over working conditions. Today there was a truce in the negotiations. Tomorrow they will be resumed. At tomorrow's meeting. President

Busby of the Chicago Railway will present the draft of the wage scale

that the companies have agreed on. This is the most important question In the controversy. The street railway officials desired a day's time in which to go over the final details before the agreement Tras submitted. In the event of the committee accepting the proposals of the street chiefs on the wage proposition, the matter will be placed before the mem

bers of the union and they will decide by secret ballot whether the company's terms will be satisfactory. WThen the surface companies and their employes meet to receive a final answer tomorrow, it was announced that the wage scale committee of the elevated roads was to call upon President Budd to make his final answer on the wage scale.

That the earnings of no single railroad reflect the trade conditions of the United States more faithfully than those of the Pennsylvania railroad, is the statement made in a recent number of "The Statist," a leading journal of finance and trade in England. It is pointed out that from decade to decade the traffic of the Pennsylvania and Its earnings, have shown a vast increase in consequence of the expansion in the wealth, income, and trade of the country. Referring to the present business outlook, "The Statist" says: "Already the recovery has commenced, and since last October the gross earnings of the railroad have shown expansion. For the first five months of

1912 the expansion in gross earnings has been $5,444,000, or nearly nine per cent. The volume of American trade largely depends upon the abundance of the crops; and inasmuch as the harvest of 1912 'other than -winter wheat promises to be large, a great expansion in the traffic and earnings' of the Pennsylvania is assured. "If the traffic of the Pennsylvania

shows the normal rate of expansion in the next few years, as we confidently anticipate it will do, the Increase In the profits of the undertaking should prove substantial. In recent years the company has constructed additional lines of railway along the whole length of its system, and it is now in a position to operate economic

ally a much larger traffic than it enjoys. Consequently, an increase in traffic for the next few years will not mean a corresponding increase of capital charges, but will bring a large expansion in profit for dividend." Calling attention to the earnings of

the Pennsylvania last year, "The Statist" refers to the fact that "the company earned a profit of no less than $37,000,000 for dividend upon Its common stock, equal to 8.55 per. cent on the stock, a figure nearly as large as that of the previous year, and after paying a dividend of six per cent, there was a balance of over $11,000,000 for improvements and capital purposes. The maintenance of the freight rate with economy of operation arising from the skill with which the traffic is now dealt, and with the absence of any large capital expenditures, should mean a large increase of profit."

"I'm drunk enough to be pinched, ain't I?" said Coaling Campbell to Officer Rottenhaus last night near the corner of North Third and D streets. "You are," replied Rottenhaus. "Go home or I will pinch you." "If you were game I would be ar

rested," declared Campbell, propping

up a post which seemed to be in dan' ger of falling over on him.

"We accommodate all comers," said

Rottenhaus, "Come along.'l and Coal Ing was pinched.

"One hundred and forty days," said Mayor Zimmerman, this morning when the colored man faced blm. He plead hard for mercy and his sentence was fixed at $1 and costs. James McGinnis plead guilty to the
