JONES ON
Toledo's Golden Rule" Mayor Fight,
Chicaao's franchise GrabberS.

ChIcaSo'S F~rancnlSe
Chicago, Sept. 3O.-"A street car is a
moving street. C~hicago's next centennial
will see people using street cars as they
now use sidewalks"
This was the prediction made by "Gold-
en- Rule Jones, mayor Of Toledo, O., at
Handel hall yesterday.
There will be nc conductor to take up
nickles," continues Mayor Jones. THE
cars will belong to the people as the side
walks do now. The occupation of a con-
ductor is degrading to the soul, ringing up
fares and performing a task as useless
as digging a hole in the ground without
purpose"
Mayor Jones' address was the leading
feature at a meeting in Handel hall to
admonish citizens of Chicago to &C to the
city hall tonight to protest against the
awarding of street car franchises.
Mr.. Jones, in the course of his remarks,
said:
IF we cannot have municipal ownership
today, we can tomorrow. l am not here
to tell you how to capture your street
railways from the franchise grabbers.
Your mayor stand committed to the prin-
ciples of municipal ownership. I believe
that he will stand by his principles.
I'VE look back today to the time when
| we were transported by horses and mules.
Invention has made such strides that the
| cars are now propelled by the cheaper mo-
tive power of electricity. But we pay the
! same fare. Six rides for a quarter Is the
best that the companies will do. The con-
dition Is more remarkable in Toledo than
in Chicago. s
II don't believe in granting franchises
| at all. I believe in municipal ownership of
[ everything in sight. I myself would not
grant 81 single franchise. 1 hope that you
will prevent the giving of the franchises
here by going in a body to the city hall
on the evening of September 49,"
Mr.. Jones closed his remarks by predict
ing that when another centennial arrives
the golden rule will be the supreme law
Vt the land"

OVER SEA in BALLOON.
French Aeronauts Succeed in Crossing
English Channel.

French Aeronauts Succeed in Crossing
English Channel.
London, Sept. 3O.-For the first time
in history a balloon has crossed the
English channel, sailing from Paris to
Hull, a distance of $50 miles. An at
tempt was made in 1886 to cross the
channel from France, but the aeronauts
never were heard of afterwards.
The party which now has accom-
lplished the feat consisted Of Comte
Henri de Ia Vaulx, Comte Hadelius
iDoutremont, and Captain Jules Veger
of the regiment of engineers at YER
'%sailles.
They started from st. Cloud at 6
Io'clock Saturday evening n crossed
THE channel near Dover at l o'clock
Sunday morning, and, keeping to the
least coast, passed over the estuary or
the Thames at S o'clock.
Rapid progress subsequently was
made, the coast being kept in sight.
When near Hull, however, the wind
veered round to the west and when
the balloon crossed Humber, between
Grimsby and Hull, at 11:30 in the fore
noon, the wind was blowing the aer-
onauts out to sea. TIC escape this dan
ger they made the descent about SIX
miles from Hull, having covered the
Ills VI OuU LIZ al N
three-quarters hour.
Aeronauts Highly EIated.
The aeronauts were highly elated at
their feat. They had set out, they said,
with the intention Of travelling as fa1
as they could. But for the wind
changing near Hull there was no reason
why they should not la Travelled over
the whole length Of England.
One object Of the voyage was to eX-

Count de la VaulX is II of the best
known French aeronauts, and he has
made several interesting aerial Voy-
ages. In August, 1902, he made a rec
ord balloon trip for that year., having
assembled from ST. Cloud, near Paris
and landed at Opoos. Hesse, a distance
Of over 419 miles, which he covered II
nineteen hours.
In 1901 and again in 1902, accompanied
by French warships, he ~endeavored tc

Better CORN

Weekly Crop Bulletin Indicates Crot

Washington, Oct. t. The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
d1tions follows:
Temperature conditions for the week
ending September % We're generally
favorable, although cool nights were
detrimental in the south Atlantic, east
ern and central gulf states, while light
to heavy froSts, for the most part caus-
ing no injury, occurred in the more
northerly districts eastward from the
upper Missouri valley.
The marked feature was the absence
Of rain or the occurrence of only very
light showers over much the greater
part of the country east of the Rocky
mountains, there being only a few
areas of comparatively limited extent
in the upper Mississippi valley, lake
region and coast districts Of the mid
die Atlantic states and southern New
England, in which the rainfall -ceed-
ed the average.
Drought continues in the Ohio val
ley and with increased severity in Ten
nessee and the central and west gulf
states. Nc unfavorable conditions are
reported from the Pacific coast.
The principal corn states have exper-
fenced weather conditions exceptionally
favorable for maturing late corn, and
while frosts have been quite general over
the central and eastern portions of the
corn belt, no material damage is indi-
Gated. Probably less han 20 per cent. of
the crop in Iowa is unmatured, and while
the proportion yet exposed to injury in
South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin
is greater the immature will make good
feed; farther south only a small part of
the crop is still soft. Cutting is general
in all sections. Some new corn has been
marketed in southern Kansas, while con-
ditions have been favorable for thrashing
spring wheat. The spring wheat region
reports dampness Of grain in shock.

WHY RUSSIA SOLD ALASKA
Counsel Tells Commission Gar Hoped.
to Raise Barrier Against English.

London, Sept. 2e.-Upon the meeting:
of the Alaskan boundary commission
this morning D. P. Watson of Pitts
burg, who began the initial argument
for the United States yesterday, took
up the question Of Russia's title to-
Alaska. He showed that it rested up
on the right of discovery, settlement.
and exploitation; that England never
asserted a claim to this territory, and
that correspondence showed that She
had no claim. Mr.. Watson devoted he
afternoon to the presentation Of the;
barrier theory. He argued that the pri-;
mary IDEA in the minds of the Russian
negotiators vas the establishment OF
a barrier to prevent the advance of.
British traders from the east, and that.
Great Britain likewise desired to pre-
vent collisions between the traders Of
the Hudson Bay company and the Rus:
sian-ATnerican company. These pur-
poses, he commended, would be frustrat-.
ed completely if the British were to,
nave had the heads of the inlets.

SMOKED THE BANKERS
An Informal Gathering at the Mitch
ell Club Rooms Proved Pleas
ing to Bankers.

Tuesday afternoon there were a
large number of bankers arrived in
the city to be on hand for the open
ing of the state convention this
morning. In the evening a smoker
of an informal nature was rendered
ahe visitors by the First National,
Mitchell National and Commercial
and Savings banks. Everybody was
on the reception committee and the
visitors we're heartily greeted by the
citizens of the city who were present
and assisted the local bankers in en-
PERTAINING their guests. There were
two punch bowls in operation to
quench the thirst as often as it ap-
peared, fruit was served and cigars
were plentiful. There was music
furnished by Nichols's mandolin club,
and then some of the visiting bankers
and local musicians gathered around
the piano and sang songs that were
familiar. The music was that in
spring that a stag dance was organ
ICED for a little while and the waltz,
two-step and the quadrille got close
attention.
There were about 100 guests present
during the evening. and the affair
formed a very pleasant opening to the
convention, which began this morn
bng. The local bankers are entitled
TO much praise for the very complete
arrangements made for giving the
visiting bankers a most delightful
evening.

Of a city Mr.. Geery gave the banker
credit of having a wholesome in

for the benefit of a growing indus

Geery's remarks were given a hearty
approval.
The program would not have been

from Hon. E. L. Abel, president of

What a brilliant ending to a most
