ALL SECTIONS EXHIBITING Whole Country Joins in Doing Honor to America’s Greatest “Crop—Agri- cultural Colleges and Universities | In Many States Show What Is Be- | | Ing Done to Improve Quality of i the Grain. | Omaha, Dec. 9.—Not since the Tranemississippi exposition six years R0 has Omaha been called upon to Ssccommodate such big crowds as thronged the streets today on the oc- "nlon of the opening of the National Oorn exposition, which will last ten ‘days. From all parts of the West and many Hastern states men and a;m&: Interested in the growing of erica's greatest cereal have come to see what Is belng done to en- arge the sise of the crop and en- rlmua its value. fhe city itself is fully alive to the portamce of the exposition and is mingg the visitors with out- firmmfl hands, pointing with pride the great efforts made in the way of decorations and accommodations to ake them feel at home. On all sides s heard the declaration that “corn eek” will be one of the greatest in e history of Omaha. Greatest Ear on Exhibition. Among the most interesting of the exhibits s the famous “Pascal ear,” ational prize winner and, according 0 most expert judges’ claim, the best ®ar of dent corn ever grown in the Meorn belt.” It was grown in Clinton Lounty, Ia., by D. L. Pascal and two ears ago last January this remark- Bble ear was sold at public auction for $160 cash, at that time the high. W#st price ever paid for a single ear. Mr. Pascal was intent upon planting his famous ear in his regular breed- ng plot that he might study the out- ccme of such delicate development, but his friends urged and finally per- uaded him to preserve it that it might remain a standard and an in- spiration by which corn breeders ight be guided in their future work. ith two sistor ears this remarkable jumph of the corn breeders’ art is bxhibited at the big show. Colleges Interested in Show. ' @reat Influence was forthcoming, but scarcely needed, to bring the warious colleges and universities of the country to exhibit from their ag- ricultural branches. The schools were gflly too willing to join in. Aside rom the government experiment sta- tions, universities and schools from e following states are competing in the exhibition: New York, Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, lowa, Nebraska, Wy- oming, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas and probably Oklahoma and Texas. Cor- nell university of New York has sent a particularly large and clever ex- hibit. Grinnell, Drake and Ames, the three big colleges of Iowa, represent that state. SEEKS BETTER WATERWAYS Rivers and Harbors Congress Wants Appropriation. Washington, Dec. 9.—First among the objects of the national rivers and harbors congress, which began its sessions here today, is the procuring from congress of a liberal annual ap- propriation for the improvement of waterways. Another object of the songress is the impression on the pub- Yc mind of the importance of its work to the welfare of the nation. More than 2,000 delegates from all parts of the country have assembled in the national capital for the con- gress. Among the most enthusiastic of the boomers are the men from the Mississippl valley, who are industri- ously advocating national aid for the “Great Lakes to the Gulf” waterway. The men from the two coasts are no less busy in pressing their claims for recognition and an interesting adjunct of the congress is the “woman’s na- tlonal rivers and harbors congress,” meeting at the same time, with the same ends in view. BARRED FROM CONVENTIONS Bill of Congressman Richardson Is Aimed at Officeholders. ‘Washington, Dec. 9.—A bill intro- duced by Representative Richardson of Alabama is aimed to prevent the distribution of federal patronage in return for political favors.

In- stead of the movement terminating Jan. 28, when the new president is to be inaugurated, as heretofore an- nounced by Secretary Wright, the withdrawal will be more gradual and, according to the present programme, will run into April. The change in the policy of the administration was announced after the cabinet meeting. According to this programme Amer- ican troops will be available for serv- ice in the islands during the transi- tion from the provisional to the reg- ular government and for a reasonable time subsequent thereto, so that if disorders arise they will be on hand for duty. PAT CROWE AM EVANGELIST Picturesque Character Has Forsaker the Old Life. Chicago, Dec. 9.—Pat Crowe, who was charged with kidnappi Eddie Cudahy anvd one of the most pictur- esque characters with whom the po- lice of the country have had to deal in the past ten years, has forsaken the old life and accepted Christianity.

TAFT MAKES ANSWER Replies to Panama Canal Insinuations. MAY TAKE LEGAL ACTION Agrees t> Demand to “Let in the Light,” but Declares That When _Evidence Is All in an Apclogy Will Be in Order—New York World, Dis- cussing President’s Recent Letter, Says His Statements Are Untrue. Cincinnati, Dec. 9.—The Cincinnati Times-Star, of which Charles P. Taft s editor and proprietor, publishes the following reply to the article on the Panama canal which appeared in the Indianapolis News and New York World: “The New York World, the paper which was responsible for most of the talk about the ‘Panama scandal’ during the recent campaign, says: “‘Whether Douglas Robinson, who s Mr. Roosevelt's brother-in-law, or any of Mr. Taft's brothers associated himself with Mr. Cromwell in_Pan- ama exploitation or shared in these profits is incidental to the main issue of letting in the light. “This statement is intentionally misleading. The Panama story was used in the campaign for political reasons solely. The one thing that gave its political value in the eyes of those who used it was the fact that the story, as printed, carried the names of a brother of the Republican candidate for the presidency and of a brother-in-law of the president. The inference was plain enough. It was that Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft had used their influence as high officials of the United States gov- ernment to help near relatives in Looting the Treasury at Washington. That was the meat of the ‘story. If the pames of Douglas Robinson and Charles P. Taft had not been included in it, flimsy and absurd as it was, the lying yarn would never have been used by the World, the In- dianapolis News and other papers ‘which for one reason or another want- ed to defeat Mr. Taft and discredit Mr. Roosevelt. “The World is trying to dodge the issue. It wants to be relieved of the responsibility of trying to drag the names of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Taft into its made to order mess of scan- dal and slime. “Both the World and the Indianap- olis News are crying ‘let in the light. ‘We thoroughly agree with them. But after a little time has passed, after the most desperate efforts of the cor- nered World and News have produced all the evidence they can, an apology will be in order from those newspa- pers. “In the meantime Mr. Taft reserves the right to take legal steps, which possibly have been made more desir- able by the events and insinuations of the past forty-eight hours.” REGARDING CANAL PURCHASE New York World Declares Roosevelt’s Statements Untrue. New York, Dec. 9.—The New York World, to which Delavan Smith, ed- itor of the Indianapolis News, referred in his reply to President Roosevelt's attack upon him as the authority for the article on -the Panama canal which appeared in his paper and called forth the president’s letter, says: “In view of President Roosevelt’s deliberate misstatements of fact in his scandalous personal attack upon Mr. Delavan Smith, editor of the In- dianapolis News, the World calls upon the congress of the United States to make immediately a full and impar- tial investigation of the entire Pan- ama canal scandal. “The investigation of 1906 by.the senate committee of the interoceanic canals was blocked by the refusal of William Nelson Cromwell to answer the most pertinent questions of Sen- ator Morgan of Alabama. Since that time nothing has been done because, after Senator Morgan’s death, there ‘was mno ‘successor to carry on his great work of revealing the truth ‘about Panama corruption.” The World then quotes from Pres- ident Roosevelt’s. letter denying the charges and continues: ““To the best of the World’s knowl- edge and belief each_and all of these statements made by Mr. Roosevelt are uAtriz and Mr. Koosevelt must have known they were untrue when he made them.” Anti-Foreign Hongkong; Dec. 9.—There has been considerable anti-foreign agitation in Hongkong during “the past few days owing to the death of a coolle on board a river boat and .the Chinese have boycotted the local river steam- ers. It was alleged that the death of this man was caused by an assault on the part of a foreign watchman on Board one of the steamers, but an offi- cial inquiry disproved this. Bandits Secure Big Booty. Portland, Ore., Dec. 9.—The East Side bank was robbed by three masked men. They secured about $16,600. The president of the bank, Henry H. Newhall, and his son were ‘held up in the bank. SOCIETIES ARE CREDITORS Leslie M. Shaw Discusses Fidelity Funding Company, Philadelphia, Dec. 9.—Formey Sec- retary of the Treasury Leslle M, Shaw, who is president of the Firsy Mortgage Guarantee and Trust com- pany of this city, admitted that the Fidelity Funding company of New York owes him $60,000. Said Mr. Bhaw: “My loans are fully covered b; bonds, which are as safe as the bon of any government on earth, and mar- gined with additional notes at nearly 100 per cent. Some of the papers have spoken of the St. Mary’s Acad- emy of Benedictine Sisters and the Sisters of the Visitation and other Catholic societies and institutions as creditors. Unfortunately the socleties are debtors. The banks, insurance companies and private individuals are the creditors. “An effort was made a year ago to increase the capital of the company to something over $2,000,000 and some subscriptions were made (I was one of the subscribers) on condition that the full amount should be raised. This ought to have been done, as tte proposition was all right if properly handled.” Feared Prosecution for Bigamy. Des Moines, Dec. 9.—Fearing proge- cution for bigamy P. C. Deming of Sf. Louis, a traveling salesman, attempt- ed suicide here. Deming had turned on the gas jet in his room and when a clerk broke in the door he found him half consclous. Deming was taken to a hospital, where, it is sald, he will recover. Deming, whe has & wife in St. Louis, came here two weeks ago and was married to Mrs. Anna Stitzel in the latter's apart- ments. Killed by a Street Car. Minneapolis, Dec. 9.—Horace Des- chene, fifty-four years old, a carpen- ter, was killed by a street car near Lake Harriet. He was struck from behind by a wire car returning from Hopkins while he was waiting for his homeward bound car. He fell sense- less to the ground. He was picked up and in the hope that life still might linger the race with death began, but he passed away before the car reached the city.
