Women's gossip is responsible for a

a woman said: "I know a woman who
could tell a whole lot about Dr. Fritch

this woman was Mrs. Anthony Doemer

Some one sent an anonymous letter
to Sheriff Gaston and some one else
sent one to Captain McDonnell of the
police, and William Jansen, with an
eye to the $1,000 reward, gave Prosecutor Van Zile direct hints. All this
caused the reassembling of a special
grand Jury.
Mrs. Doemer was questioned and
gave Information that led to the rearrest of Dr. George A. Fritch and to
the detention of his chauffeur, "Chris"
Leach. When the chauffeur got Into

Counterfeiters, working almost In

Investigation and several operatives
are seeking the source of the coinage.
So far as the authorities have discovered. there are not many of the counterfeits In circulation there, but there
are enough to convince the secret-service people that the counterfeiters
have their headquarters In the national capital, and it Is thought that
they may be putting out their product
elsewhere through confederates.

Pomp and pageantry, the boom of
cannon, the blare of trumpets, the
clanking of sabers, the glitter of dazzling uniforms—these formed the setting Saturday for the long-awaited
meeting between President Taft and
President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico, the
executive heads of America's two
greatest republics.
It was a dramatic moment In tho
history of the two countries. In outward splendor it suggested the Field
of the Cloth of Gold, the greatest pageant of all history, when In 1520
Henry VIII., tho much-married monarch of England, met Francis I. of
France In the Valley of Audrey.
In the actual handclasp of the two
executives, however, and in tho exchange of greetings—In the actual expressions of the good will and friendship between the two nations, for
which the outward glitter and glamour
was but the frame—simple but cordial informality reigned.
Two cities on the border, the long
bridge across the Rio Grande and EI
Chamizal, a strip of neutral territory,
formed the scene of this International
spectacle. The action alternated between El Paso, famous in the days of
the eld Santa Fe trail, and the quaint
little City of Cludad Juarez, Mexico.
It was the second time that a President of the United States had gone
outside his country during his term of
office. Theodore Roosevelt having set
the precedent when he stepped on the
soil of the He ubllc of Panama. It
was the first i...ie that President Diaz
ever left the boundaries of his country, and to Co It special sanctlou had
to be granted by the Mexican Congress. A special train was built to
convey the Mexican President to the
border, and for the time being Cludad
Juarez became the Mexican capital.
In El Paso President Diaz, after
driving up to the International border In an enormtfiis gilt carriage of
state with solid gold hubs and trimmings. was welcomed by American
bands, which played "La Paloma," the
Mexican national anthem, to the rattle of castanets by the trap drummers.
In Cludad Juarez President Taft on
his two trips across the Rio Grande
rode through banks of cheering and
shouting Mexicans, who sang "America."
The actual meeting between the two
Presidents was witnessed by fewer
than a score of persons—only the personal staffs of the two principals. After greetings were over. President
T a f t and President Diaz withdrew Into an Inner room of the chamber of
commerce of El Paso, where the historic meeting occurred, and In a long
conference were attended only by
Governor Creel of the State of Chihuahua, former ambassador to the
United States, who acted as Interpreter.
At 5:30 o'clock President Taft
crossed the Rio Grande to Juarez for
the second time, and was guest of
honor at a banquet which for splendor
of appoIntmeiU was probably the most
notable state feast ever served on tho
American continent
INDIAN BANDIT FOUND DEAD.
CASHIER IS A SUICIDE,
Official of Wrecked Wisconsin B a n k
E n d s Life Brooding Over Crash.
F. E. Hanscom, cashier of the
wrecked First ^National Bank of Mineral Point, Wis., shot and killed himself at 10 o'clock Sunday night. Hanscom's body was Immediately removed
to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
John Gray. At sight of the lifeless
body Mrs. Gray dropped dead. Since
the failure of the bank Hanscom has
been working night and day and was
despondent over his troubles. Mr.
Hanscom was a brother-in-law of Phil
Allen, Jr., vice president of the bank,
for the alleged misuse of whose funds
Allen was arrested Friday.
The bank, for a generation regarded
as one of the strongest In southwestern Wisconsin, was closed a few days
ago after a week's investigation of the
books by Bank Examiner Goodhart.
An attempt was made to keep the institution on its feet by the sale of
mining property in which Allen was
Interested, but the deal fell. through.
It was alleged that the bank had been
looted of $200,000 by means of notes
forged by Allen.
Allen's chief aid In running the
bank was Hanscom. The vice president became seriously 111 when the
bank was closed, and Hanscom devoted every minute of his time in assisting Examiner Goodhart in straightening out the books. When Receiver
Sohofield took charge Thursday rumors, which could not be confirmed,
had It that the loss to depositors
would run greatly over $200,000 and
that arrests in addition to that of
Allen were to be expected.

Five masked bandits, who robbed
the State Bank of MInocqua, Wis., of
several thousand dollars early Wednesday morning, held up the pursuing

several deputies and then ordered the
bandits to surrender. Immediately the
muzzles of several rifles were pointed
through the door and windows of the
station and then the masked robbers
came out, still covering their pursuers.
Backing the posse into the middle of
the street they again escaped to the
woods, while they kept their pursuers
covered.

Texas granite and t h a t the appropriation should become void S(?pt 1, 1909.

man of large frame, commanding presence, indomitable courage, and a passion for military life. The mother was
also remarkable for her magnificent
physique and forceful character. After
her husband's death she removed with
her family of six sons and three daughters to Tennessee, then the frontier,
where white pioneers came into close
contact with savage life. The education gained in a few months at an
old field school was necessary rudimentary. This, with a session or two

The new Tariff Board Is losing no
time In getting down to business. Several meetings. In a sense preli-tnlnary
in character, have already been held
a t the office of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. MacVeagh. who was indirectly responsible for the creation
of this Important new governmental
body. A little later the members of
the board will establish permanent
headquarters, and will recruit
the
staff o t secretaries, tariff experts and
other assistants who will be essential to the handling of the immense
amount of technical detail t h a t will
characterize the work of the commission. T hi s organization is to be per
fected Just as rapidly as possible, in
asmuch a s there is a tremendous
amount of work Involved In the preparation of the report, which must be
In the hands of President T a f t before March 31. 1910.
The Tariff Board was created by
the Payne tariff bill, and it will be remembered that authorization for this
board, which was energetically demanded by the President, was granted by Congress only a f t e r a lively
fight.
Opponents of tariff
revision
downward, or r a t h e r Senators and
Representatives who a r e strongly in
favor of high tariff, became suspicious
that t h e real purpose of the proposed
board was to probe the whole tariff
question and all .matters pertaining
thereto, as. for instance, the comparative costs of production In various
countries. The effect of such research
would be to reopen the entire tariff
question and to make it continuously
a live Issue before the country. T hi s
is contrary to t h e wishes of c e r t a i n
interests, which contend t h a t t h e tariff question was settled, for t h e time
being, by t h e Payne bill, and ought to
be allowed to stay settled for several
years.
Therefore, the high protection advocates In Congress succeeded In having
embodied In the tariff measure certain
provisions limiting t h e activities of
the tariff commissioners. President
T a f t has. however, publicly announced
his purpose to have his tariff inqulsl
tors probe every phase of this huge
subject.
For the first six months of its existence. however, the general Tariff
Board will be kept busy with what
constitutes the primary purpose of its
existence—a task that President Taft,
revisionists and protectionists are all
agreed must take precedence over all
other phases of their Investigations.
T hi s u n d e r t a k i n g Is nothing less than
a world-wide Investigation to determine what countries do and what ones
do not discriminate against the United States in their customs duties and
other laws and regulations. The purpose of this is to enable the President
to carry out t h e maximum and minim u m provisions of the new tariff law.

After having waited over a week for
favorable weather conditions for his
est flight during the Hudsonon celebration ln~New Tork, Wilbur Wright "made good" by navigating his aeroplane from Governor's Island up the Hudson over the funnels
of the warships with their up-rushing
currents of a i r and past the air eddies
from the big skyscrapers to a point
opposite Grant's tomb and back, amid
the cheers a t multitudes of people
along the shores and the chorus of
harbor craft whistles. He alighted
without a Jar only a few feet from the
starting point. This flight fulfilled the
conditions of the celebration contract
and made an interesting scientific demonstration to navy men of the capacity of the Wright machine to carry destructive bombs directly over the big
warships. Later the same day, as the
aviator was about to make a second
flight to do bigger s t u n t s in the air
about New York, the blowing out of a
cylinder put his machine out of commission and narrowly missed Wright.
This illustrated anew the variety of
dangers under which the art of flying
is as yet practiced. Mr. .Wright a n nounced that this would be his last
flight for some time, and that neither
he nor his brother. Orvllle, wished to
be regarded as showmen. They would
hereafter confine their flying to instruction of others under contract
and to the scientific experimentation
with new improvements.

to his own desperate situation.

"No."
"And no provisions?"
"No."
"And no ship to make our way back
to England?"
It required courage to face these
gloomy realities. After a moment's silence, Johnson said again;
"Well, at any rate we know eractly
how we stand. The first thing to be
done now is to make a hut, for we can't
stay long exposed to this temperature."
"Yes. but we must first revive Bell,"
replied the doctor. "Then go and find
the sledge, and get the American."
Bell lay on the Ice almost Inanimate.
Johnson had to take vigorous measures
to rouse him, but at lasL by dint of
shaking and rubbing him with snow,
he succeeded.
"Come, Bell," he cried, "don't give

Timber.
Prof. Somervllle's paper before the
British Association on the timber supply shows that the world Is steadily
approaching a timber famine. Already
Britain pays each year 27,000,000
sterling for wood; Germany, with
nearly twelve times the area of forest
possessed by Britain, annually pays
12,000,000 sterling for Imported timber, and, although the United States
of America exports wood and wood
products to tho value of 20,000,000
pterllng per annum, she has to pay
AS much for Imports.
In Europe,
Sweden and Russia are, of course, the
chief timber exporting countries, but
in both cases the vast inroads on
supplies is seriously felt, and exports
are being appreciably reduced. There
are, of course, Canada and Siberia,
but in Canada, at all events, wood is
being used up at a rapid rate.

Are you still a back number in allowing the poultry house to get filthy
and dirty, foul-smelling nesting material, Infested with lice and mites? Or
have you become progressive, and by
actual trial have found out how well
It pays to keep everything neat and
clean and in a strictly sanitary condition?
By this time you certainly have the
farm work well in hand, and can
spare a few hours' time for giving the
poultry house and yard a thorough
cleaning and overhauling. If the quarters are allowed to become filthy and
Infested with vermin, as well as the
fowls themselves, things will soon go
to the bad, and the hens will take on
that pale, languid appearance, which
will surely terminate In disaster If
neglected.
Clean out not only all the droppings, but also all the old straw and
litter In the house, cleaning out the
nests, spraying them and the roosts
with coal oil to kill mites. In fact,
the entire aim should be to do everything in as thorough and painstaking
manner as possible. Give the inside
walls a good coat of whitewash, which
both makes the house lighter and kills
vermin. If the floor Is given a good
coating of dry lime, It will serve to
give the entire Interior a pleasant,
healthy odor. This also has a beneficial effect In killing disease germs,
and is especially valuable In case of
disease, when It should be used around

Spaniels were so called because the
original breed of this type came from
Spain. The Blenheim spaniel got his
name from Blenheim Palace, where
this dog first gained popularity In the
time of the great Duke of Marlborough. In the same way the King
Charles spaniel owes Its name to the
merry monarch. Fox terriers did not
gain their name from a likeness to
the fox. but from the fact that formerly they were used In hunting foxes.
Many years ago they were sent by
their masters down the fox's burrow
to draw and kill their quarry. It was
In those days a saying that a good
fox terrier never came out of a burrow without the fox.
He either
brought out his prey dead or never
came out alive himself.
The bulldog used to drive cattle and

In time he became known as the bulldog. The dachshund is a German

translated, was used for hunting
badgers.
Hence his name—badger
dog. Among hunters In the fatherland
this breed Is still popular, although
as a rule they are now too delicate to
face such a ferocious fighter as the

" W o r s t M a m m a l P e s t " Blamed f o r
t h e Loss of Millions.
Rat clubs and other societies for
systematic warfare on destructive rodents may leap into popular favor
among housekeepers, now that the
government has officially sanctioned
this method of extermination of the
worst mammal pest in the United
States. The rat has been recognized
by the government as a problem. Its
activity In disseminating infectious
diseases has long loomed up as a danger signal to the health authorities,
and losses from its depredations run
Into many million dollars a year, according to an official statement Just
Issued by the Department of Agrlcul'ture.
Dr. David E. Lantz of the bureau of
biological survey has taken vigorous
hold of the question, and thus he proceeds to throw a bomb into the camp
of believers in the cat as a rat destroyer. "However valuable cats may
be as mousers, few of them learn to
catch rats. The ordinary house cat
Is too well fed and consequently too
lazy to undertake the capture of an
animal as formidable as the brown
rat."
The department In a bulletin emphasizes the importance of rat clubs
and suggests that interest in organized rat hunts may be stimulated by
offering prizes or rewards in various
communities to the individual hauling
forth the greatest number of dead rats
a f t e r one of the crusades.
Pamphlets dealing with the rodent
problem and suggestive of ways in
which the rat may be eventually routed from Its haunts have been scattered broadcast among the farms and villages all over the United States, and
the department expects to make Its
campaign In this direction one of thoroughness.

National Legislator Dies of B r l g h t ' s
Disease at Hotel In Fargo.
United States Senator Martin N.
Johnson of North Dakota died from
an attack of acute Brlght's disease at
his hotel in Fargo. Thursday night at
7:30 o'clock. His death leaves a vacancy to be filled by an appointment
by Governor Burke, a Decnocrat. Johnson's death leaves the political situation In North Dakota in an extremely
chaotic condition.
As McCumber
comes up for re-election before the
next primaries this will necessitate the
election of two Senators.
A week ago Senator Johnson submitted to a second operation for a nasal trouble and was thought to be doing well. He had been a sufferer from
the fatal disease for years and had
complained for two days, but reports
Thursday were reassuring. He became suddenly worse late In the afternoon and death followed quickly.
His wife and brother were present
when he died. The body will be taken
to Pettersburg, Nelson County, for Interment.
Senator Johnson was 59 years old.
He was born on a farm in Racine
County, Wisconsin, and was a son of
Rev. Nelson Johnson, a native of Norway. Senator Johnson was a graduate of Wisconsin University and went
to North Dakota in 1882, devoting his
attention to farming. He was a member of the constitutional convention.
In 1889 he was a candidate for United
States Senator and tied the party vote
in caucus, but was defeated in the
Joint session. In 1890 he was sent to
Congress and was three times nominated by acclamation. He was eight
years In the lower house. He was a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and had been a member of the
general conference of that body.
MAJOR GENERAL OTIS IS DEAD.
R e t i r e d A r m y Officer Passes A w a y
a t Home in Rochester, N. Y.
Major General Elwell Stephen Otis,
U. S. A., retired, died at his home in
Rochester, N. Y., at 1:20 Thursday
morning. His ailment was diagnosed
as senile debility combined with a severe cold. General Otis was born in
parade, and increased by the religious
fervor under which the worshipers
worked, the gypsy evangelist held the
great mass of people In check, and
finally, in the Alhambra Theater meeting, showed his perfect control over
an audience collected, as was this one.
from the most notorious dives In the
levee district.
The red light district did not take
the invasion seriously. Never before,
perhaps, in the annals of the district
were so many persons grouped In the
houses at one time. But the men and
women who marched and sang through
the ill-paved streets did not know that,
and their voices rose in a fervor of roiigious enthusiasm, as t h o u g h they
would convert the whole district by the
earnestness of their singing. And behind the drawn blinds, up at which th'-J
marchers gazed with wonder and sorrow and a certain curiosity, the followers of the life of joy laughed and
smoked and drank and scoffed.

A typhoon of unusual severity
swept across northern and central Luzon on Sunday night. Wire communication with all points beyond Dagupan and Luzon was cut off and details
are lacking. One message brought to
Dagupan from San Fabian says that
the loss of life was considerable and
the damage to property heavy. Torrential rains accompanied the storm
and an extensive area was flooded.
The railroad bed was washed out at
several points and one railway station
was swept away. Many casualties attended a typhoon that played havoc
with the native shipping and damaged
other vessels at various points on the
Chinese coast.

T a f t Outlines Enough Policies on
His T r i p to Give W o r k f o r
Whole Term.
HARD TASK FOR T H E PRESIDENT
Opposition to Some of His Ideas I s
Expected—One-Tenth of Them as
Laws Would Be Record.
President Taft has already announced enough of the policies of his administration to keep Congress busy
during the balance of his term. The
policies already promulgated include
almost every Issue upon which there
has been any considerable difference
of opinion between Republicans and
Democrats and also between factions
in the Republican party Itself. The
scope of the left-over Roosevelt policies, so far as they relate to the Taft
administration, h a s also been discussed. writes Leroy T. Vernon. Washington correspondent of the Chicago Daily
News.
Mr. T a f t has committed himself to
the following policies:
Creation of a central bank of Issue
which shall control the treasury reserve, and take steps to alleviate currency stringencies.
Creation of a postal savings bank
system.
Adoption of the proposed amendment
to the constitution authorizing an income tax, to be enforced only in c a s j
of national emergencies.
Passage of a tax upon net incomes
of corporations, a tax upon the Interest paid to bondholders.
Recommendation that no further
changes In the tariff be made during
this administration.
Correction of the evil of swollen fortunes by means of State Inheritance
tax laws, rather than by a federal law
Amendments to the anti-trust law,
which shall apply exclusively to trade
monopoly.
Amendments to the Hepburn Interstate-commerce act which will segregate common carriers and subject
them to regulatory laws, applicable
only to themselves.
Federal laws dealing with questions
relating to labor. Including a federal
law against boycott and one relating
to the Issuance of Injunctions.
Creation of a court to pass upon appeals from decisions fixing rates made
by the Interstate-commerce commission.
Authority for the commission to determine the proper classification of
merchandise.
Authority for the commission to initiate complaints of discrimination In
rates.
Granting the commission power to
compel connecting carriers to unite In
forming through routes and to fix a
rate and apportionment thereof among
tho carriers.
Prohibition of railroads to hold stock
In competing roads.
Federal regulation through the Interstate-commerce commission of the
Issue of railroad securities, which Issues must be for legitimate purposes
and on a substantial basis.
Authority for railroads to make
agreements on rates approved by the
commission.
Advocacy of a compulsory law requiring Interstate railroads to adopt
additional safety devices.
Appointment of a congressional commission to Investigate the chuse of
delays In the federal courts and to develop a system which will secure quick
and cheap justice In the fedenil courts
and serve as a model for the States.
General conservation of national resources.
Reclamation of arid lands and the
Issuance of certificates tor that purpose.
Preservation of forests.
Deepening of waterways.
Reorganization of the public land
system.
Passage of laws which would Impose restrictions upon the transfer of
water rights to private control, so as
to limit the control of the grant to fix
the rental to be paid and regulate the
rates to be charged.
To separate the surface of the land
from the mineral contents thereof, and
either lease on a royalty system or
sell coal and other deposits to miners.
Reorganization of government departments, • particularly the departments of justice, the interstate-commerce commission and the bureau of
corporations, so as to make the commission a court, the department of
justice a prosecutor and the bureau of
corporations an Investigator of violations of the commerce laws.
Enforcement of the pure-food law.
in respect to which the department of
justice and the bureau of corporations
shall occupy the same position as under the Interstate-commerce act.
Clearer definitions of the statute relating to business.
Prosecution and punishment of all
violators of the law.
International' peace and friendship
and the development of closer relations with oriental nations.
Ship subsidy for the development of
a merchant m.frlne. to be paid for out
of the profits of the ocean mall service.
The job which the President has on
his hands in the above is not an enviable one. Already there Is pronounced opposition to the creation of
a central bank and of a postal savings
bank system. The campaign for the
adoption of the Income-tax amendment
to the constitution Is already on and
Is being hotly fought, particularly In
the Eastern States. The corporation
tax Is expected to have Its constitutionality questioned In the near
future.
If President Taft succeeds In placing
on the statute books laws sustaining
one-tenth of the policies for which he
has taken his stand he will have
equaled the record of any recent administration.

Contest Was Strenuous.
The old liglltj over the eqiializutlon
Of (the couuty as to what proposition
the city of Muskegon and outside
townships should pay broke out again
at the last meeting of the board of
supervisors, and as usual, the country
came out victorious. The final vote
showed t h a t the country and North
Muskegon voted solidly to raise the
city 4.f» per cent after one of the hardest lights between the city and country members In the history of the
board. IJy the action of the majority
of the board last week Muskegon, will
bear 65 per cent and the remaining
county 35 per cent of the coming winter taxes. In other words $1,224,048
was added to Muskegon's equalized
valuation and'$153,503 to the Muskegon Heights roll. $970,381 was de
ductcd from the township rolls.
•Supervisor Moran, who was lined up
with the city In the light was taken
ill In t he supervisors'room Friday and
had to be taken to his hotel, not being able to participate In the final
vote.
,
The city members who consider
t h a t the board has saddt^d too large
a proportion of the county's valuation upon them will appeal to a com
mission composed of chosen ex-supervisors of adjoining counties. T h e
last legislature passed an act permitting such procedure by cities.
The contention of the Thomas report which was adopted was t h a t
while the valuation of property had
greatly Increased In the cltv during
thejpast year, country'•property had
decreased Montague's valuation was
reduced $88,335. Whitehall's $01,010;
White River's 951,810.
T h e budget for the coming year
calls for $175,278.11 of s t a t e and coun- chills and malaria. Only 2oc.
ty taxes to be raised this year, or Ulpley & Co.
$28,051.71 m i r e t h a n last year.
T h e big increase comes in making
up a $10,000 deliclt in the contingent
fund, and because the s t a t e tax is
about $17,000 higher t h i s year t h a n
last -year. Because of the lowered
equalizations of the townships they
FOR
will not feel much of the effects of
t h e increased budget, t h e burden falling on city lax payers.
Congressman J a m e s C. McLaughlin
was given permission b r t h e board to
use the board of supervisors' room,
circuit court room aod Horticultural
society's room in the county building
for the corn contest in November.
Because he Is injured and unable to
work at his vocation,* Deputy Sheriff
Carl tjiauffer, of Ravenna, was voted
$100 by t h e board, in a resolution
commending him for his brave action
in capturing James Kelly.
