effectually restored. He pointed out that the sensible solution of the question was to frankly recognize the modern tendency of American business to combine interests for the purpose of eliminating competition but to provide federal regulation of such combinatins. . If it were possible for the federal government to regulate the railroads to the extent of establishing their rates it would be possible for the federal government to go to this extreme in the regulation of all corporations engaged in interstate commerce. The Progressive party, he said, advocated this solution of the living problem. Prof. Russell also said that if elected to congress he would stand for federal aid to American farmers in building up their soils to meet the competition of the new lands in western Canada and the Argentine. While such work was in progress, he said, he would advocate that the farmers be given all necessary tariff protection, which they are not receiving now.
une way to reduce the high cost of living is to increase the yield of every tilled acre, and this increased yield is possible if the government will only assist the farmers. It stands to
leasuii mac sucn action on the part of the government will benefit all classes of citizens, for with increased production the cost of produce will naturally be reduced, and increased products at cheaper prices will give the farmer a larger profit than he is now receiving," concluded Mr. Russell. Tonight Mr. Russell will speak at Hagerstown and Monday he will speak with Mr. Beverldge at Milroy and Rushville in Rush county. Tuesday he will speak with Mr. Beveridge at Cambridge City and Richmond. The rest of the week he will spend in Rush and Fayette counties.
MELPOLDER TO ASK FOR STATE SESSION
Secretary Melpolder of the Cenrtal Bureau will be unable to attend the convention of the State Board of Charities and Correction which started today at Madison. This is because of the absence of Mrs. Candler from the city. If Mrs. Candler returns by Tuesday, Mr. Melpolder expects to attend the state meeting on the closing day and Invite the convention here next year. He is very anxious to attend for that purpose. He has been promised the support of Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board and it is believed that Richmond will have little difficulty in securing the 1915 meeting if the city is represented Tuesday.

GARDNER 111 PLEA FOR LARGER IIAVY
BY LEASED WIRE.! WASHINGTON. Oct. 17. The United State is not prepared for war. Rep-' resentative Gardner of Massachusetts, stated in the house yesterday. Thursday he introduced a resolution asking an Investigation of the unpreparedness of this country for conflict. "For a dozen years." said Gardner. T have sat here like a coward in silenc and listened while men hare told us how the United States can safely depend in time of war on the state and naval reserve. All the time I knew it was not so. I am a former militiaman
and a Spanish war veteran, and I tell you that any such decline is the supremest folly.
"Under that declination in ten years we have let our navy slough off until
today we are a very bad third and sink rapidly to fourth or fifth place among
the navies of the world. The belief ttat we can create an army and navy when the need arises, is all wrens."

100 PARCELS DAILY INCREASEJT P. 0, Handley Compiles Report of Weight and Count for Fifteen Days. More than 100 packages a day in
crease over six months ago is shown in the parcel post report compiled by Superintendent of Mails Handley from
Oct. 1 to Oct. 15, thirteen working
days. In this period of time 15,932 !
parcels were handled for despatch and
delivery.
The report contains information asked by the government from every post office in the United States. Some of the figures follow: 8756 parcels dispatched. 7,356 parcels delivered. 306 C. O. D.'s dispatched. 270 insured dispatched. The dispatched mail weighed 18.498 pounds and the postage was short a two cent stamp of $700. The largest number of packages, 2,535 to one zone went to the first region. The smallest number to one zone was forty-two to the seventh. The eighth
zone received ninety-five. More two-pound packages were dispatched than any other weight. There were 1,467 under this weight but under the one-pound rate, 2,000 packages were listed. This is because all pack
ages from five ounces to one pound are paid for as one pound. There was one fifty pound package which went to the second zone. The increase over a similar period last year in parcels handled is 1500. The last account was made in April. Next week the letter mail will be weighed and the amount of postage kept.
edness incurred by its interested holding company, he said:
"Surely the commission has not
overlooked it, if we are charging unreasonable rates."
Benjamin J. Yoakum was the next
witness.
"What was your dream of consolida
tion, when you bought the Chicago and Alton for the Rock Island?" asked Counsellor Folk. "I was not a prin
cipal party to that dream," replied
Mr. Yoakum. "I merely acted vlth
others In gathering in the stock."
Explains Purchase. Folk questioned the witness as to
the purchase and Yoakum said that the Missouri division of the Rock Island, which ran from Chicago to St. Louis and Kansas City, was weak physically, that the route was longer than that of the Santa Fe and other
competing systems, and that the di
vision was in poor physical shape
for the operation of fast and heavy trains. He said it would have boosted
the price of Alton stock had President Keid of the Rock Island given a
single order for the control of the stock. So Held, Yoakum, Leeds, Judge Moore and others gave widely scat
tered small orders to many brokers
to buy up the control in small lots.
'Did the fact that E. H. Harriman.
the owner of the Alton, was in
Kurope then, have anything to do with
the purchase?" asked Folk.
'Well, it was a propitious time.
answered the witness.
'Did you take advantage of Harri-
man's absence to buy the road?"
"I would not say that. It happened
that Harriman was in Europe; it happened that the Rock Island wanted the
Alton, and it happened that we bought it."
Reid on Board. Folk developed the point that Lea.
Yoakum, Moore, Reid and other governing directors all were serving on the Rock Island, Frisco and Alton as well as the subsidiary company boards simultaneously.
The inquiry then turned on the pur
chase of the Frisco. Yoakum said he
sold the road to the Rock Island in 1903 at 120 and bought It back In 1909 at 37. Folk asked him why he bought back the road. "I believed in it," said Yoakum, "and I still believe in it." Folk asked the witness if the connection of the Frisco with the Rock Island was successful. Yoakum was doubtful. At least, he said, the Rock Island was glad to sell it back to him and he negotiated the re-sale with Daniel G. Reid. To do this Yoakum said he went among the St, Louis men who were interested in the Frisco road and Induced them to agree to buy blocks of
stock. He himself bought $1,500,000 of stock, and on an agreed date all called for their stock, protected their money and took their stock. "Did you get the actual stock when you paid your million?" asked Folk. "You bet" said Yoakum. Folk asked him if he had known it was necessary for the Rock Island Railroad company to get the Rock Island Railway company to obtain
from the First National Bank of New York a loan of $7,500,000 before the re-sale could be completed. Yoakum said that was none of his business. Counsel Walker for the Rock Island brought from Mr. Yoakum the statement that the Rock Island and Frisco, even after the efforts of Moore, Leeds, Reid and Yoakum to combine them, were not strong enough to drive other carriers from disputed territory. Yoakum said that after his resignation from the Rock Island directorate he had left the room In which the board was meeting before the matter of the $7,500,000 loan was discussed.
