Towne of New York told the senate lobby committee about the formation of the National Tariff Commission as- sociation, of which he was once presi- dent. Martin M. Mulhall had testified that the National Association of Manufacturers was' the chief factor in its organization. Towne testified that the. associa- tion was formed at the Indianapolis convention in 1909, called by Henry Relsenberg, at which 232 commercial organizations were represented. Thou- sands of contributors 1included the Manufacturers and Merchants’ asso- clation of New York. Former .Representative James E. ‘Watson was employed by the associa- tion in April, 1909, after he left con- gress, Towne testified, in explaining two $600 drafts on the manufacturers drawn to Watson. He said the manu- facturers had promised to contribute $1,000. He denied that the tariff com- mission association tried to put men on the tariff board. In four years, he said, the commission had raised about $39,000, Towne testified Watson was em- ployed by the tariff association from April to June, 1909, at $260 a week. “Wasn't Watson employed because he was close to the ‘Cannon ma- chine’ ?” Senator Reed demanded. “I don’t know about that,” Towne said. bbb obddd bbb + + BIG CAR SHORTAGE I8 3 PREDICTED. & S + St. Louis, Aug. 14—A big < car shortage, which may be a replica of that of 1907, is im- < pending, according to warnings issued by twenty-two railroads <+ of the Southwest.

Washington, Aug. 14.—President ‘Wilson issued a statement before the Democratic house caucus resumed consideration of the administration bill announcing that he believed it not advisable to amend the measure at present with provisions for rural credits, but to postpone that phase of banking reform until the December session, when the government com- mission now studying the subject im Europe will have reported. The presi- dent said: “Again and again during the dis- cussion of the currency bill, it has been urged that special provision should be made in it for the facilita- tion of such credits as the farmers of the country most stand in need of —agricultural ‘credit as distinguighed from ordinary commercial and indus- trial credits. “Special machinery and a distinot system of banking must be provided for it rural credits are to be success- fully and adequately supplied. A gov- ernment commission 18 now in Europe studying the successful methods em- ployed in the O1d World and its report will be made to congress at a regular session next winter. “It 1s confidently to be expected that the congress will at that session act upon the recommendation of that report and establish a complete and adequate system of rural credits. It should have accompanied and gone hand in hand with the reform of our banking and currency system if we had been ready to act wisely and with full knowledge of what we were about.” debebob bbb bbb bbbt BATTLESHIP IDAHO HAS BEST GUNNERS. ‘Washington, Aug. 14.—The pennant winner among the bat- tleships of the United States navy for efficiency in gunnery and engineering during the past year is the Idaho, whose figure of merit, with 100 as perfect, was 94.6.

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT Charges Against Governor Eight in Number. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 14—The ar- ticles of impeachment against Gov- ernor Sulzer make a document of over 4,000 words. They are introduced by the formidable heading: “Articles exhibited by the assem- bly of the state of New York in the name of themselves and of all the people of the state of New. York against William Sulzer, governor of said state, in maintenance of the im- peachment against him for willful and corrupt misconduct in said office and for high crimes and misdemeanors.” The articles, eight in number, charge the governor with violating the penal laws of the state, not only in connection with the filing of an improper and incorrect account of his campaign expenses, and diverting campaign contributions to the pur- chase of stocks, but algo in connegtion with his alleged efforts to prevent wit- nesses from testifying before the Frawley investigating committee.

WILY KING EDWARD L.~ Fooled the Rebellious Welsh With ithe Prince of Wal After a lifelong struggle with ithe ‘Welsh, Edward 1. of England somight to ascertain the cause of thelr congitant rebellion and was informed that |they would never be content until they} had a prince of their own. The wily old monarch asked thém if a prince born in Wales who could,not speak a word of English would be sat- Istactory, and they received the |offer with great enthusiasm, presumina that the king meant one of their own jflesh and blood. His queen, about to give birth)to a child, was hurried to the famous (Caer- | narvon castle, where 600 years ago Edward I1,, the first prince of Wales, was born. Thereupon King Edward, carrying the newly born babe on the ramparts of the castle, announced to the multitude: “Here is your prince, born in your own country, who knows no word of English and who, I promise you, shall be reared by a Welsh foster- mother and shall learn your language. Accept you him as your prince?” In all the six centuries intervening the eldest son of the king of England has been invested and known as the Prince of Wales. In the year 1911 the present Prince of Wales and the future king of England was invested on the same spot as his predecessor 600 years ago.—T. Owen Charles in National Mlsfllllll!.
