Getting a Genuine Article from an
Isthmian Maker.
''There was another just such Pan
anna hat craze about fifteen years ago, "
said a Michigander as he removed his
genuine" and famed his heated brow,
land as I was going down to the 18TH
mus on business l determined to get a
sample of the real thing. l had friend
in New York in the hat trade, and when
told him I'd wait and get my Panama
from the hands of the weaver he
laughed and turned away. He offered
me something which you could roll up
and put in your vest pocket, almost,
and which didn't seem to weigh an
ounce, but l wasn't paying $50 for
American limitations. 1 sailed wearing
a felt hat, and in due tine reached
Panama and started out to buy hat.
1 found hat stores and Panama hats in
plenty, but every hat had a suspicious
look. That is, it looked as if made in
Connecticut and shipped down there,
and I afterWard found out that such
was the case. l finally appealed to an
American in the railroad office down
there, and he replied:
"T'll send you to place where you
can get the real thing. In fact, you can
see the braid woven and make sure you
are not deceived
1T was a journey Of five miles out in
the country" said the searcher, but 1
went to the spot and found three or
four women braiding and sewing.
There were a dozen finished hats, and
picked out my fit, paid % cents for it,
and let my mule wear it home on his
head. It was rough, stiff and almost
shapeless, and made Of grass as tough
as cat-tails. 1t was Panama because
made in Panama, and for no other rea-
son, and 1 could have got a better one
at a country store for the money When
got home called upon the halter and
asked if he had a good Panama hat for
a reasonable figure, and he smiled and
replied:

Imperialism Not an Issue.

The intelligent and really influential
class Of Democratic newspapers are
not at all backward about admitting
that it is going to be impossible to
make an issue out of militarism or an
ti-imperialism in this campaign The
Detroit Free Press, the leading Demo-
cratic newspaper of Michigan. which
has never been a champion of eXpan-
sion or of American occupation of the
Philippine Islands, declares that 1.-The
whole matter is eliminated from the
present congressional campaign by rea-
son of President R0Osevelts course dur
ing the past few months" Anent the
charges of cruelty which have been
alleged with such inCessent v0cifera-
ton, the Free Press holds that the
President "has taken the matter out of
the field of political controversy bv his
unqualified condemnation of acts of
saVagery on the part of the compare
lively few offenders in the army, and
particularly by his singing reproof of
General Smith, while on the issue of
the permanent retention of the island.
again tie President spiked the guns of
the enemy by leaving this an open ques-
ton and displaying an admirable con

1t is safe to say that the Free Press
represents the progressive and thinking
element of the Democratic party. but
as that element is not accustomed TO
dominating the Democratic party it is
quite likely that the campaign will pre-

TWENTY MILLIONS FOR GOOD ROADS.
An Act Providing for This Has Been Intro
dncsd in Congress.

Commissioner of Agriculture Patter-
son has just received a copy of bill
introduced in the National House OF
Representatives by Representative
BrOWnlowe, Of Tennessee, which provides
for the establishment in the Department
of Agriculture of bureau to be known
as the Bureau of Public Roads,"
This bill, after creating the bureau,
provides for the appropriation of
twenty million dollars to be used in con-
structing good roads in the country at
large, outside of incorporated cities and
towns. 1t provides that half of the money
for these improved roads can be provid-
ed by State, county, district or private
means and that the United States gov
eminent will pay the other half for the
construction of such under plans APP
proved by the bureau.
Mr.. Patterson is pleased with the bill,
and thinks it should become a law. He
argues that if money is appropriated to
aid in clearing waterways and making
then of use it should also be appropriated
for good roads.

NO TAXES ON JUDGES Salaries.
This is Said to be the Opinion Prepared by At
torney General.

1t is understood that today the Su-
preme Court will hand down ali opinion
on the question of the exemption of the
salaries Of Supreme Court judges and
Superior Court judges from taxation.
The court has had Attorney General
Gilmer to write an opinion and hand it
to them. 1t is possible that the court
will say something in addition to the
opinion of Mr.. Gilmer, in which it is
understood they VII concur. Mr.. Gilmer
some time ago gave an opinion that the
salaries We're not liable to taxation, and
ii is known that he has not changed his
opinion.
In this new opinion it is understood
that he holds the same view and that
he has strengthened it by numerous
citations, making the opinion lengthy
one.
1t is not known that he speaks of the
salaries of other State officers. and this
will only be known when the full opinion
is accessible 1t is now in the hands of

THE TRIAL OF LAURA BIGGAR.
A Chapter in the Story of the Struggle for Ben
natt's Millions.
(By the Associated Press. }

Freehold, n. j., Dec 1.-THE first wit
ness today in the trial of Miss Laura
Biggar, DR.. Charles c. Hendricks and
Samuel Stanton, for alleged conspiracy
to get the estate of Henry M. Bennett,
was A. V. d. Watterson, of Pittsburg,
counsel for P. ]. McNulty. one of the
executors of Mr.. Benefits estate and a
beneficiary under the will. Mr.. Waiter
son said DR.. Hendricks told him last
June that he would either claim for Miss
Biggar her share of the estate under the
will or lay claim to the whole estate for
her as the common law wife of Mr.. Ben
nett or put in a claim for the services
she had rendered Mr.. Bennett during the
last years of his life.
Henry Croft, clerk in New York sta
tionery store, testified regarding the
blank certificate signed by Mr.. Stanton,
former justice of the peace, setting forth
the alleged marriage of Miss Biggar and
Mr.. Bennett. Witness said certificates of
the kind said to have been used by Stan
ton were printed December %, 1900. The
date of the marriage certificate was
January 2. 1898.
Louis Pegassi. of Hoboken, who owned
the house in which Justice of the Peace
is alleged to have been performed, testi-
fed that at that time there was no
Justice" sign on the house This was
in fiat contradiction of some of the
testimony given at Long Branch last
summer.
Surprise was expressed when it was
announced that this closed the case for
the prosecution, as it was generally be-
lieved that the State had much additional
evidence of an important character.
}. w. McConnville, Miss Biggars first
husband, and Joseph barrow testified for
the defense that Mr.. Bennett told them
Miss Biggar was his wife.
DR.. j. w. Connolly, of Bayonne, testi-
fled that he was present at the birth
of Miss Biggar's child in Hendricks SAM
tarium. The case was adjourned until
tomorrow.

COMBINATION OF RAILROADS.
The Commerce Commission Finds the Inter =
State Law Dead Letter.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE tendency to
combine continues the most significant
feature of railway development, accord
ing to the annual report of the Inter
State Commerce Commission issued to-
day. The report says in part:
THE progress of consolidation, in one
form or another, will at no distant day
confine competition within narrow and
unimportant limits, because the control
CT most railway properties will be
merged in few individuals whose COM
mon interests impel them to act in con-
cert While this will insure, as prob
ably nothing else can in equal degree,
the observance of published tariffs, a
law which might have answered the pur-
pose when competition was relied upon
to secure reasonable rates is demon
strably inadequate when that competition
is displaced by the most far reaching and
powerful combinations. So great a
change in conditions calls for correspond
ing change in the regulating statute"
The commission reaffirms it's recon-
mendations for amending the Interstate
Commerce law and urges the grave
necessity for legislation.
The report says that the fact that no
convictions have yet been obtained nor
indictments found in the cases of the
railroads which were shown by an in
Vestigation last winter to be giving
secret rates TO grain shippers empha-
sizes the fact that the criminal pro-
visions of the present Inter State law are
practically a dead letter.

MUST NOT EXCLUDE OUR sBIP5.
Unless State of War is Recognized as Fx-
listing,

Especial to the News and Observer
Washington, Dec 1.-THE officials
here have come to the conclusion that
the projected peaceful blockade" of
Venezuelan ports cannot be recognized
as against United States shipping at
least. If the allies seek to exclude Vene-
zuelan shipping from entry to Vene-
zuelan ports that might be permitted,
but they cannot exclude United States
ships in regular business unless genuine
state of war is recognized. Regardless
of the merits of the present controversy
the State Department feels that the vast
interests of American trade demand that
this rule be adopted and adhered to, else
American trade might be crippled at the
will of any naval power that sought to
resort to the anomalous peaceful block
ade." If Great Britain and Germany
wish to exclude American merchant
men from Venezuelan ports they must
exclude all chipping, including their
own, a condition which can only be met
by recognizing the existence of state
of war, and the dismissal of the present
friction.
