He had been i'll for over a year. though
able to be about occasionally, his condi-

born i'll Bolton, Mass, Dec. z, 1906. In
1864 he bought the Vermillion Falls site,

The Indiana Legislature Over

INDIANAPOLIS, March 11.-After the
final adjournment of the legislature to
day the astonishing information was
permitted to leak out that all the bills
vetoed by the governor and repassed by
the Democratic majority. were in such
shape that they are bound to fail. The
constitution requires that all bills and
joint resolutions passed by the legisla-
ture shall bear the signatures of the
speaker of the house and president of
the senate. These bills were first pre-
sented to the governor and were duly
authenticated as prescribed by the con-
stitution, but after being vetoed and
repassed they were simply signed by
the clerk of the house and secretary
of the senate, and in this form
deposited with the secretary of
state instead of going through the hands
of the governor. as the statutes require.
1t is maintained by opponents of the
vetoed legislation that these are fatal
defects, and that all these measures,
among which are the law creating
board of public works and officers for
the city of Indianapolis, fire and police
boards for Indianapolis and Evansville,
the bills depriving the governor of his
appointing power, ETC., are null and
void. Late Saturday night the senate
passed bills for the taxation of the tele-

SPEAKING or SAMOA.
John ID. Spreckles Has Word ts.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11-In an
interview to-day. John d. Spreckles,
president Of the Oceanic company,
whose steamers ply betweenthis city and
the Samoan islands, New Zealand and
feAnstralia. said: II do not expect our
steamers to run to Samoa and New
Zealand after the end of October. The
| colonies have taken decided stand
against maintaining the line any
longer, unless the United States bears
One-half of the total cost. The service
may not cease entirely, because the
North German Lloyd company are ar
ranging to secure it. They run steam
ers from Germany to Sidney, and are
anxious to extend the service, which
would be part of their Samoan policy.

control the Pacific trade. Without the
aid accorded to foreign steamship lines,
we cannot compete with them, and
would not attempt to do so. The
North German Lloyd's receives enOr-
nous subsidy from the German govern
ment, such as we could never hope fOr.n

moan group, and dropped the mails

but could do so if our company was paid
for extra coal required to make longer
distance on contract time. As it is, the
United States does not offer any en-
couragement to have direct connection
with the capital of Samoa. although
the American steamers pass near
there, and the government could
receive weeks later intelligence than
is now possible, and avoid the neces-
sity of having the mails pass through
the hands of foreigners" Mr.. Spreckles
said that the United States government
was now paving the North German
Lloyd company S1.30 per mile for carry
ing mails across the Atlantic, while the
American vessels are receiving cents

American trade steamers flying the

Lloyd on the Pacific. as it does on the
Atlantic we cannot compete. These
German vessels also are exempt
from tonnage dues in our
ports, whereas the American steam
ers pay at the rate of 80 cents per ton.

to carry the mails whenever the post
master general may demand" Mr..
Buckland, the agent of the Samoan gov
ernment, said New Zealand was anx-
ious to join with the United States in
maintaining an American line, but
unless there was cooperation they
would accept the German service, as
the United States would have to pay its
portion if it was foreign line carrying

Camps Are Breaking Up and Log
ging Is Practically Ended for
the Season.
Special to the Globe
CHIPPEWA FALLS, March 1.-THE
exodus from the pineries has COM
menced much sooner than was antici-
pated. The warm, spring-like weather
has transmitted the snow into tempOr-
ary lakes and running streams, and has
crushed the last hopes of loggers who
have working their crews day and
night for the past month in order to get
their skidded logs to the bank. Every
train from the direction of the pinerieS
istull of men coming from the woods, and
another week will find logging opera
tions practically ended. There is no
use in conceallng the fact that the re-
suit OF this winters work will be dis
aStrOuS to many concerns. With only
about two months of favorable weather
to facilitate operations in, nothing else
can be expected. If the present month
had continued cold, lumbermen would
have enjoyed prosperous season, and
pulled through with flying colors. AL
most every camp on the western and
eastern tributaries of the Chippewa
river has broken up, leaving millions of
skidded logs unbanked. The same can
be said of operations on the Eau
Claire. Black. Wisconsin and st. CroiX
rivers. The North Wisconsin Lumber
company, of Hayward, will leave
quarter of its winters cut Oh the skid
ways, which cannot help but result in
financial setback to this company. The
Chippewa Logging company, of this
city, although, under the circumstances,
perfectly satisfied, will fall short many
million feet of the expected cut. The
Flambeau river loggers have all discon-
tinued operations, and many of them
small cOncerns-are in straitened cir
cumstances. The majority of loggers
operating on the several Indian reser-
vaiOns will conclude successful win
ter's work, owing to the advantages
they possess in location and heavily
timbered tracts. Ihe present depressed
condition of affairs in the lumber Fl eld
will seriously affect the. cut of many
mills thrOughOuttheS state, and the news
comes from reliable sources that the
cut of last year, including all the mills,
will be reduced almost OEe-half. The
Chippewa Lumber and Boom company,
of this city, will be enabled to keep its
big mill here in active operation during
the coming season, as the amount of
logs left over from last season, together
with what the company has put in this
winter, will afford sufficient supply"

came he had packed the woman's
clothing and effects i'll trunks, which he
told the landlady he was sending to her

story did not satisfy the woman, who
after while reported the case to the
police. Search was made for them
both, but it was not until the middle of
September that BrySOn was found. A
