The TIMES advocates the cleo

advocating it, though, we want
to be thoroughly understood.
We advocate it because it has
been decided by the supreme
court of the state that it is the
REPUBLICAN ticket of the state.
We said we were going to support
the supreme court and we pro-
pose to keep our word. We 90

TIMES is not looking for place
on the LaFollette band wagon, it
wants nothing to do with anything
locally that has within two weeks
acknowledged as its head a man
whose private and public life has
been tainted everywhere, who is
a ward heller and nothing better.
We are not 'LaFollette and
don't expect to be. But we do
believe the party bigger, far big
ger than it's individuals, and con-
sequently are for the ticket that
the supreme court has named as
the regular ticket. The TIMES
is not backing water, but is stand

ATTACKS CONSOLIDATED.
New York Han Alleges That the Road
is VIOLATING the Law.

DR. William S. Gilroy, New York
dentist, is trying to make trouble for
the Consolidated road. Yesterday
morning he made application before
Magistrate Baker in the Harlem police
court for the arrest Of the officials of
the road on charges of violation of the
law, alleging that soft coal was being
burned in engines instead of hard, that
an insufficient complement of men
composed train crews and that oil was
burned in baggage cars instead of gas.
DIR Gflroy lives in Mt Vernon and
goes to his Office in the city over the
Consolidated every day. He alleges
that a day or SO ago train on which
he rode, consisting Of ten passenger
and three baggage cars, had one con-
ductor and only two men as a crew.
He alleges that is not sufficient mum
Der for the same handling of the train
DR. Gilroy said he had been to- the dis
trict attorney, but that authority had
referred him to the police commissions
er, that he in turn had sent him to the
captain in command of the East 104th
street station. and that the captain had
sent him to court with a detective. The
magistrate sent him back to the district
attorney again.

SHORTAGE IN OLIVE CROP.

"Olives will be higher this year than
for many seasons, and some large va
rieties are already scarcer than hens
teeth said Benjamin Wolff of Chica-
go. ''The scarcity is result Of the
poor crop in Spain, where all or most
of the bottled varieties, so much
sought after at picnics and elsewhere,
come from.
"Olives come from Spain in punches
or pipes as they are called In the
trade, and this season there will be q
shortage of fully $4,000 pipes. Each Of
these contains from $50 to $50 gallons
of olives. The smallest size, called
manzilla,' come about $50 to the
pound, and these will be more plentiful.
The largest sized olives come about
thirty to the pound.
Many olives are grown in Califor-
MIA, but the richness OF the soil causes
too great quantity of oil for the best
eating olives, so they do not demand
the high price of the spanish product.
Spaniards have a special method of
preserving the fruit which is an art in
itself and has never been equalIed In
other countries.
THE black olives of Italy and Greece
are grown entirely for the oil and
other products and not put up as the
Spanish variety. "-Milwaulze Sentinel.

HOW INDIANS CATCH FISH.

On the first Of. July the Indians will
have near Sonora a big fish killing,
which is considered great sport hy
them Already supply of devils
shoestring' Is being gathered for this
purpose. This is the root of GER
tain bush, and owing to the fact that
these roots go so deep, In so many di-
rections, 1t is considered quite task
to get sufficient for use at fish shoot.
On this particular occasion it is said
that $500 bundles OF devils shoe
string" will be used. The Indians se-
lect a portion or hole of water i'm the
river and some of them wi beat up
this root and throw 1T In the water.
This Is repeated by another party of
Indians a considerable distance from
the first party, and the water becomes
impregnated with the juice, and the
effect on whatever fish may be in this
particular space is marvellous They
become sick and float on the surface
of the water and then the shooting be-
gins. The Indians shoot them with
bows and arrows and spear them.
After a sufficient quantity OF fish
has been gathered In, they repair to
the hills and banks. The cleaning ID

are cooked the feast begins While
the fish are sickened and stunned by
the juices from the root, the meat is

STATE OF TRADE.
JObbiMS Centers Report Business AC-
tive and Showing Gains.

New York, July S.-Advices to the
International Mercantile Agency indi-
cate little change during the week in
the general trade situation, jobbing
centers reporting active business, sew
eral lines showing good gains over a
year ago. In many instances these
gains are sufficient to compensate for
losses sustained nearly In the season.
The outlook is generally encouraging,
reports from all centers indicating a
more hopeful feeling than prevailed a
month ago. While there is the natural
uncertainty of the presidential year,
there are few ''blue spots in the coun-
try.
At the west business is active, future
deliveries in clothing, shoes, mems fur
nishings and some branches of dry
goods compare fayorably with a year
ago, while the labor situation at the
west has unquestionably improved.
The more confident tone noted a
week ago in the iron industry contin-
ues, and the belief gains ground that
the improvement will gradually extend
to all branches of the trade.
Some Improvement is noted in New
England, where general trade is pick
ing up slightly and merchants appear
somewhat more hopeful. Jobbers are
very anxious however, making hand
to mouth purchases in cotton goods SO
nc to meet whatever declines the mar
ket develops. Retail business is dull,
hut collections are fair. The shut
down OF cotton mills is still the chief
cause of depression, and with the stop
mage of additional spindles during July
and August the outlook in this line is
still dubious.
