And since the presence of the motto will comfort many and offend few, it would ap- pear that Congress has acted wisely. And yet the President was actu- ated by none but worthy motives in ordering the words omitted from the latest money to come from the mint. His arguments, too, found not a few supporters. The mis- take, if mistake there was, lay in at- tracting general notice to his action and arousing heated, if not bitter, argument, in which the chronic op- ponents of Mr. Roosevelt gladlyl joined to make his act an adminis- tration issue. It would be comforting to be- lieve that the determination again to inscribe all the metal money of the country with the ennobling sen- timent would quicken the public conscience and bring a return to the more practical piety of earlier days in the repubiic.

Berlin, March 19.—The people of the East Side of Berlin paid silent tribute to the memory of the revolu- tionists who were killed in the street fighting in this city in 1848. An im- posing crowd of sympathizers gath- | ered at the graves of the dead men in Friedrichshain park, which is now the center of the East Side district, and heaped them high with flowers and wreaths. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. United States Senator Penrose is confined to his home at Philadelphia suffering from a severe attack of the grip. Thomas M. Dooley, secretary of the United Assoclation of Plumbers, Gas- fitters, Steamfitters and Steamfitters’ Helpers, is dead at Chicago. The navy department has received word that the old warship Mononga- hela has burned to the water's edge at her station at Guantanamo bay. The demand for copper has so in- creased that copper producing com- panies have sold ahead to the extent of 100,000,000 pounds. This marks a vast improvement in the copper trade. Rev. Dr. J. Irwin: Smith, organizer of the Presbyterian church in Westorn Wisconsin and Minnesota and father of President William Smith of Coe college, Cedar Rapids, Ia., is dead at Cedar Rapids, aged eighty-two. Joseph G. Darlington, a leading dry goods merchant of Philadelphia, is dead. Mr. Darlington was twice pres- ident of the Union league and took an active interest in civic affairs. He Was born in Pittsburg and was about sixty-five years of age. The report of the New York public service commission shows that during February there were 3,951 railroad . accldents in that state, in which twen- ty-six persons were killed. Of the 2,157 persons injured in these acci- dents 1,219 were passengers. During January the injured were 2,500 and the killed numbered forty-four. Ibroken to pieces. to Death by the Government—For- eign Legations and Consulates Still in Danger of Attack. Paris, March 1 .—Official dispatches Teceived here from Hayti indicate that the situation there is still critical for foreigners. M. Carteron, the French minister, reports that fresh executions have occurred, but he does not give the number.. He says that previous to that twenty-seven men had been exe- cuted. He describes M. Lecomte, the new minister: of the interior, as “blood- thirsty.” Fvarther reprisals are feared and there #s still danger of attack on the foreign legations and consulates. It is report ed there that an American ‘warship ha s arrived at Gonaives. M. Carte ron says nothing about any change in the attitude of the Haytian governmer it regarding the delivery of the Haytian revolutionists who have taken asy lum at the consulates and it 18 presuir ed that Lecomte still insists that they - he turned over to him at once. T¥ae French government, how- ever, wil | never consent to the deliv- ery of (ieneral Firmin or the other Haytians who sought asylum at the French 1 egation. The I 'rench government does not anticipat e the slightest friction with the Unk led States over the situation in the H aytian republic. The sole pur- pose of France, Germany, Great Brit- ain and presumably the United States, also, is” the protection of foreign sub- Jects ag ainst the rapacity of the Hay- tian sok liers should the latter get out of hand and throw off the control of the aut aorities. SIT' UATION VERY GRAVE. Anathe r American Warship Ordered to Haytian Waters. ‘Wax hington, March 1,—The Hay- tian si tuation is described by the state depart ment officials as decidedly more grave than at any time since the rev- olutian has been in progress there. Dispa tches are to the effect that the Haytian government has reversed its decis/.on to allow the refugees in the foreiizn legations to leave the country. They will not be allowed to do so. - As a further protection to American interests in the island the cruiser Des Moirnies was ordered to proceed at once: to Port au Prince from Guanta- nam.o. The gunboat Eagle already has been dispatched there. It is esti- mated the Des Moines can make the trip in approximately fifteen hours. The only instructions given are that American interests shall be protected. TWO WARSHIPS ON HAND. British and German Cruisers Arrive at Port au Prince. Port au Prince, Hayti, March 1 '.— Two foreign cruisers have arrived here, the British Indefatigable and the German Bremen. The coming of foreign ships of war to Port au Prince is a surprise to the people. The lives of foreigners are not considered to be in danger. The situation is tranquil. The Indefattigable announced her ar- rival by thre cannon shots. These detonations cieated a small panic in Port au Prince, but calm was quickly restored as scon as the reason of the firing was mae known. Anti-Foreign in Character. London, Mairch 11.—A brief dispateh ‘was received aut the foreign office from the English consul general at Port au Prince saying' that the outbreak in Hayti was un¢toubtedly anti-foreign in character. This is all the information that has reached the British govern- ment officially since the first brief message announcing the summary ex- ecutions and saying that a massacre of Europeans was feared. COLLEGE STUDENTS IN RIOT Star Theater at Ann Arbor, Thoroughly Wrecked. Ann Arbor, Mich., March 1 ..—Twen- tytwo TUniversity of Michigan stu- dents spent the night in jail and the Star nickel theater was thoroughly wrecked as the result of the riot of students. The moving plcture ma- chine and the theater piano were Some of the police and several students were slightly hurt, but.luckily no serious injuries resulted. It was reported, however, that the police averted a tragedy by overpowering one of the theater em- ployes jus® as he was on the point of discharging a revolver point blank into the crowd of students. Mich., Swollen Rivers Are Receding. Tacoma, Wash,, March 1 .—After forty-eight hours of apprehension lest a flood similar to that of November, 1906, was impending residents of the valleys of the White, Black, Stuck and Puyallup rivers are breathing easier, as the waters, which had been rigsing since Saturday, have begun to | recede. Reports from all portions of the threatened country indicate that the swollen rivers are falling. FORCED TO QUIT ARMY, Kaiser Compels Resignation of Prince Joachim Albrecht. Berlin, March 1t.—Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia, son of the late re- gent of Brunswick and a second cousin of Emperor William, has resigned from the army, where he held the rank of major, and will not again be permitted to wear the German uni- form. The resignation of the prince, it is declared, was requested by Em- peror William. _According to the Mitta Zeitung Em- peror William has been extremely dis- satisfied with the prince because of his continued relations with the Baron- ess Liebenberg. It was because ot his interest in this woman that the prince was punished eighteen months ago by being sent out to join the Ger man forces in the fleld in Southwest Africa. The Baroness Liebenberg was at one time an actress and played in the theaters otf€lerlin. Her maiden name was Marie Sulzer. The prince desired to marry her, but this was impossible because of the inequality of their so- cial stations. Marie Sulzer then ob- tained the title of Baroness Lieben- berg through marriage with an Aus- trian baron at a suburban registry office at Brixton Hill, London, she and the baron parting at the conclusion of the ceremony. It is declared that the baron was to receive a large sum of money for hav- ing conferred his title upon the ac- tress so that it would be possible for her to marry the prince after she had secured a prearranged divorce from her husband. It is understood, how- ever, that this financial transaction ‘was never completed and the divorce ‘was never obtained. In the meantime the prince and the baroness have been living, it is declared, under a trans- parent incognito in Prussia. This went on until Emperor Willlam decided to intervene. BY MORGAN AND OIL TRUST La Follette Says Recent Panic Was Planned and Executed. Washington, March 1 .—Declaring that the recent financial stringency in the country was brought about by the influence of “Standard Oil” and J. Pierpont Morgan Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, in a speech practically closing the debate on the Aldrich cur- rency bill, entered upon a denuncia- tion of men high in the financial ‘world. “There were no commercial rea- sons for a panic,” said Mr. La Fol- lette. “There were speculative, legis- ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE. lative and political reasons why a panic might serve special interests. There were husiness scores 10 settle, legislation to be blocked, a currency measure suited to the ‘system’ to be secured, a third term to be disposed of and policies to be discredited.” He severely criticised the provision of the Aldrich bill by which raflroad bonds are to be made security for emergency circulation and charged that it was a scheme to defeat legls- lation which might lower railroad rates. ACTIVE WORK IS BEGUN. Democratic Candidates Open Head- quarters at Denver. Denver, March 1 .—Active political work on behalf of candidates for the nomination for president and vice president before the Democratic na- tional convention, which meets in Denver July 7, has already begun in this city. Headquarters have been rented at the leading hotels and polit- ical workers are on the ground look- ing after the interests of the men they represent. The campaign for the various can- didates seems to have opened about two months earlier than is usual. The men in charge of the convention for the Democratic. party say it is cus- tomary for candidates to appear in the convention city about thirty days before the convention opens and begin preparations for their campaign. There are now half a dozen candi- dates represented in Denver by polit- ical workers with headquarters here who are busy interviewing all who ar- rive from the various states to secure headquarters for their delegations that are to be here in July. Prominent among those who have been mentioned in connection with the presidential nomination are W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, George Gray of Delaware, Stuyvesant Chanler of New York and Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota. Their friends who are already here in their interests state positively that their names will go before the convention as nominees. A number of other candidates for the nomination are mentioned, but none of them appear to have developed strength enough so far to make their intentions of interest to those who are really in the race. 'Girl Held on Perjury Charge. New York, March 1 .—Flora Whis- ton, who was arrested Monday on a charge of perjury after she had testi- fled in the trial of Raymond Hitch- cock, has been released on $5,000 bail. The testimony of the Whiston girl, which was a complete refutation of a story she had told before the grand jury which indicted Hitchcock, result- ed in a verdict of acquittal for Hitch- cock. Special Session for Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky., March 1'—It is au- thoritatively announced that Governor ‘Willson will call the legislature into special session probably in July for the enactment of legislation calculated to relieve the tense conditions in the tobacco districts. It is ‘understood that he will ask the legislature to pass a prohibition bill with the county as the unit. L BY UNANIMOUS VOTE Senate Committee Amends the Al- drich Currency Bill. MAIN OBJECTION REMOVEfi Railroad Bonds Eliminated as Secur- ity for Emergency Circulation of Na- tional Banks—Certain Provisions of Present Law Retained. ‘Washington, March 13.—The senate committee on finance voted unani- mously to amend the Aldrich financial bill by eliminating railroad bonds as security for national bank note circu- lation. It also was decided to amend the bill so as to retain the provision of the present law prohibiting the re- tirement by national banks of more than $9,000,000 of circulation in any one month. The committee discussed the proposition of increasing the tax- ation on emergency circulation out- standing more than six months. The rate under the bill as it now stands is 6 per cent. No action was taken on this feature. An amendment also was agreed to affecting the amount of circulation which may be taken out on bonds of the various kinds applicable for such purposes. The bill provides that cir- culating notes may be issued equal in amount to 90 per cent of the market value of any bonds deposited. The amendment adopted adds the pro- vision that the issuance shall not be in excess, however, of the par value of the bonds. This is intended to meet the criticism that certain securi- ties might be inflated above par value through the action of speculators and the committee believes the amend- ment will effectually eliminate such danger. Aldrich Reports Amendments. The amendments were reported to the senate by Mr. Aldrich, who said that the action of the committee had been unanimous. He said: “The committee believed when the bill was reported and now believes that it is desirable to have for these emergency notes as large an amount as- possible of available securities. ‘Various questions have been raised in regard to the railroad bonds which have no reference to the bill under consideration, such as the question of the relation between railroads and the public and the proper treatment of railroad stocks and bonds and un- der all circumstances the committee thinks it better to ask the senate to strike out these provisions in respect to railroad bonds.” Senator Nelson of Minnesota in- quired whether any amendment had been offered by the committee in rela- tion to banking reserves. “No,” replied Mr. Aldrich, “the committee has that under considera- tion and will report on it in a very short time.” EVANS TO RETIRE SHORTLY Il Health Will Prevent His Complet- ing Tour of Globe. San Francisco, March 1)—A spe- cial dispatch from San Diego, Cal, contains news of an announcement by Rear Admiral Evans, commander of the Atlantic battleship fleet, that upon its arrival at San Francisco he would retire from command because of ill health. This announcement officially confirms the report from Washington that Admiral Evans would haul down his flag upon arriving at San Fran- cisco. ‘Washington, March 18.—At Admiral Evans’ personal request he will be re- lieved of the command of the battle- ship fleet on reaching San Francisco. Rear Admiral Thomas, the next in seniority, will succeed Admiral Evans in command of the fleet. It has mot yet been determined whether Admiral Thomas will bring the fleet around the world to the Atlantic station or not. It is expected that this detail will be decided on shortly. Later in the day it was announced that Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry will bring the battleship fleet from San Francisco to the Atlantic coast by way of the Suez canal. Alfonso Again Fortunate. Toledo, Spain, March 1}—King Al- fonso, who has arrived in this city, has added another escape from injury to his already long list of such fortu- nate occurrences. The automobile in which he was driving narrowly es- caped collision with another machine occupied by members of the royal party. The second car was wrecked and four occupants were slightly in- Sured. Smalipox Closes College. Northfield, Minn., March 13.—Carle- ten college has been closed by vote of the faculty on account of the appear- ance of a case of smallpox. The spring vacation would begin on the 26th, but it was thought best, under all the circumstances, to let all the students go at once, since many par- ents were requesting that their chil- dren should be allowed to go home. Predicts Bryan'’s Elzction. ‘Washington, March 1 .—Represen- tative Ollie James of Kentucky, in a speech in the house, predicted the election of W. J. Bryan as president next fall. He congratulated the Re- publicans upox their promise to revise the tariff and said that in this as in other matters they were following Democratic advice. WILL PROSECUTE ROAD. Chesapeake and Ohio Said to Have Favored Certain Shippers. ‘Washington, March 1 .—Criminal prosecution, it is indicated officially, will be instituted against certain offi- clals of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway company and certain favored shippers by that line on account of what is asserted to have been illegal Ppractices relative to interstate ship- ments. It appears from the findings of the interstate commerce commis- sion e Chesapeake and Ohio — Y favored certaln shippers “at the ex- pense of the Seaboard Air Line and Atlentic Coast Line” in the shipment of grain and packing house produets and that the shippers thus favored gave o the Chesapeake and Ohio “all of the inbound business of the ship- pers so favored by'it.” A hearing on the matter of these practices was held last month In Richmond, Va., by the interstate com- merce commission, the evidence be- ing taken by Commissioner Lane. The commissioner has submitted his re- port to the full commission. It has been approved and Attorney General Bonaparte has been requested by the commission to institute proceedings against all parties involved by the evi- dence adduced. SHORTAGE MADE GOOD. Errors Found in Accounts of Former Minnesota fficial. 8t. Paul, March 1 .—Because of al- leged bad bookkeeping and failure to properly collect the fees due the de- partment irregularities that amount to $6,199.95 have been found in the ac- counts of J. A. McDermott, former state oil inspector. Acknowledging that the form of bookkeeping in use was obsolete and that mistakes might be due to it Mr. McDermott asked to be informed of the discrepancies when the examina- tion of his accounts was taken up by Public Examiner Schaefer and as fast as they were found made good the loss. To date Mr. McDermott is reported to have paid into the state treasury because of these discrepancies be- tween $5,500 and $6,000. Public Ex- aminer Schaefer says the state will not lose a cent. . The investigation of thé oil inspec- tor’s department was begun at the in- stance of Secretary of State Schmahl and was in conformity with a law which demands an examination of the department’s books before the bonds of the official’s successor can be ap proved. Big Lumber Plant Destroved. Hattiesburg, Miss,, March 1}.—The plant of the J. J. Newman Lumber company, the largest saw mill in the state, burned to the ground, with 5, 000,000 feet of lumber. The loss will approximate $200,000. Eight hundred men are thrown out of employment. The fire was the result of an engine operating a dynamo getting out of control and running wild. Smallpox on Board Warship. Philadelphia, March 1/.—As a result of the discovery of a case of smallpox aboard the cruiser Brooklyn, lying at the League Island navyyard, all em- ployes at the yard and every member of the crew, together with the officers, numbering in all about 2,000 persons, will have to be vaccinated and the eruiser fumigated and placed in quar- antine. Fearless Champion of Justice. ‘Washington, March 1/ \.—In a speech in the house Representative Kennedy of Ohio praised President Roosevelt as “the fearless champion of justice and honesty.” Mr. Kennedy also paid a tribute to Secretary Taft, declaring that his election to the presidency would add to the nation’s prestige. An adequate idea of the intense in- terest which. has been aroused by young Mr. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared in the Cincinnati Post while Cooper was introducing his ideas.to the people of that city. The article says: “The beginning of Mr. Cooper’s second week in Cincinnati gives every indication that he is to enjoy the same astonishing success here as in other cities, “From the first day of his visit the crowds that call to see him have stead- ily increased, until now it has reached & point where several thousand talk with him each day. The entire city seems to have become interested in his theory that the human stomach is degenerate, and he’ already has an army of followers in Cincinnati who seem positive that his claims are cor- Tect. “A number of Cincinnatians were interviewed at Cooper’s headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements, showing their intense faith in Cooper’s preparations, were secured. The following are selected from these statements and are characteristic of them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of 630 ‘West Court street, said: ‘I have suf- fered with stomach trouble and con- stipation for a year or so. When I ate I would have bloated spells, sour stomach, fermentation, bad taste in my mouth. In the morning I was as tired as when I went to bed. Thada dull pain in the lower part of my back. 1 have taken almost one bottle of the New Discovery and am so wonderfully improved that I bave come down here to thank Mr. Coopér in person and ob- tain more of the medicine.” “Another individual interviewed was Mr. J. H. Brooks, living at 527 Walnut street, who had-the following to say: ‘For the past eighteen months I have been a constant sufferer from catarrh of the head and stomach. My nasal passages would become inflamed and sore. I.would have severe headaches, which affected my eyes, and great crusts of matter would drop into the throat, causing an irritation of the bronchial passages, until the stomach finally became poisoned. When I would lay down at night a phlegm would gather in my throat until it almost choked me, and would cause an an- noying cough. Half a bottle of Cooper’s New Discovery gave me re- lief,and when the first bottle was fin- ished I felt like a new man. I am now completely cured and consider Cooper’s New Discovery the greatest catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in the world’”, . The Cooper preparations have been ‘wonderfully ‘successful throughout the United States. We consider them re- markable medicines and would be pleased to explain the nature of them. =E. N.
