There is no business in all the
varied industries and occupa-
tons of our Republic which re-
turns such enormous profits. con-
sidering the capital invested, as
the legalized liquor traffic.
This fact was strikingly de-
monstrated in the testimony
brought out in the investigation
of applicants for licenses in Law
renee county by Judge William
f. Porter last week.
Girls. Krahrer, a New Castle
liquor dealer, testified that dur
ing the past ten years he had
paid to John c. Wallace, a bro
ther of ex-Judge William ID. Wal
lace, about $500 annually as a
half-share of the profits, of the
business, thinking it necessary to
do this in order to retain his IL
cense.
AS he paid Wallace $250O an
nually as half the profits, it shows
that the annual profits of this
one murder mill was IS, 900.
Krahrer's place is not the lar
gest nor the smallest, but only
an average drink-shop under the
guise of a hotel.
With fifty such places in Law
renee county it is an easy matter
to calculate the annual profits OF
the business. Simply multiply
5000. the profits of the aver
age saloon, by so, the total num-
Der of saloons, and you have the
enormous profit of $3.50, ,OOO-a

Russla's Leading Liberal.

Sergius Witte, the chief Russian peace
plenipotentiary, may be regarded as the
leading Liberal statesman Of Russia. For
the last 13 years he has been one OF the
strongest personalities in the Russian
bureaucracy, although his political for
tunes suffered a setback when he was
compelled TO resign the portfolio OF Min
lister of Finance in August, 1908. and
again when, after being appointed Presi-
dent OF the Council OF Ministers in the
same month, his office gradually lost its
Importance, until rumors OF his intention
to resign and go abroad were persist
emily circulated.
M. Witte is about 50 years old and
has steadily worked his way up from the
position OF an underpaid railroad clerk,
who occasionally acted as porter, TO that
of the leading statesman OF Russia, in
spite of the fact that his enemies are
numerous and include some OF the most
powerful men in Russia. His honesty
and ability, however, have never been
questioned, even by his worst enemies.
One of the reasons for his unpopularity
IS the fact that he is only remotely
Russian. His father was of Dutch dc
scent and ne himself was born at TitllS,
Caucasia. He was created a count in
1901, but has generally been referred to
as NJ. Witte.
NJ. Witte is thoroughly familiar with
the Far Eastern question in all its bear
ings. He understands the Japanese po-
sition, and fully realized before the war
that the aggressive policy being pur-
sued under the lead of Niceroy Alexiefi
and NJ. Bezobrazoff, president of the
Yalu Timber Company, and the coterie
OF adventurers connected with them
would drive Japan to take up the sword
AT one time NJ Wilte talked over the
situation with Marquis Ito, President Of
the japanese Privy Council, and one of
the leading statesmen OF Japan. Prac-
tically ii was Witte's disapproval of Rus
sia's Far Eastern policy and the creation
of viceroyalty in the Far East which
caused his downfall as Minister of Fl
nance. During his trip to Port Arthur
in 1908, he was invited by the Japanese
government to visit Japan, which would
indicate that the japanese probably will
welcome his selection TO conduct the
peace negotiations in behalf of Russia.

AMERICAN FLAG TRAMPLED.
0rangemen's Celebration at London, Ont,
Ends in Disorder.

London, Onsario( By Cable) An
American flag was torn down from in
front of the City Hall here and tram
pied under a hundred feet as the result
of remark made by an American vis-
itor at the Orangement's demonstration
About 500 Americans came over from
Michigan and during the day carried the
Stars and Stripes through the streets
without unfavorable comment being ex-
cited. At night the Americans were
gathered in front OF hotel, when some
one cried, "To h. with Canada; she
never showed us yet"
Instantly the American flag owned by
the Port Huron (Mich) Lodge was torn
from where it waved to the breeze and
was ripped into shreds and trampled
under the feet of an angry mob.
Port Huron Orangemen say they did
not resent it, as they believed the in
suit to Canada was uncalled for.

William ]. Calhoun, of Chicago has
been appointed by President Roosevelt
to be special commissioner to Vene.
zuela. Judge Calhoun will make thor
ough investigation into the conditions
in Venezuela so far as they relate to the
United States and its interests.
The following official announcement
was made:
The President has appointed Mr.. w.
J Calhoun. Of Chicago. special COM
missioner to Venezuela, The President

kinley's private information, and has
also known of his work as interstate
commerce commissioner He has been
designated as special commissioner to
examine fully into the situation in Vene-
zuela, and report to the President ex-
actly what the Differences are between
Venezuela and the United States, and
Venezuela and other foreign powers, and
also as to what has been arranged for
the other foreign powers that in any way
conflicts with the interests OF the United
States. He is also to examine. although
necessarily in rather general way, into
the complaint made by American COM
paries as to the conduct OF the Venezue-
Ian government, and report to the Presi
dent exactly as 10 which the equities are
in these cases"
Judge Calhoun will make no inquiries
relating TO the Bowen-Loomis case. The
President regards that as practically a
closed incident Judge Calhoun visited
the President about 10 days ago. The
President at that time tendered him this
appointment, and shortly afterwards he
indicated his acceptance of it, The in
vestigation which he IS to make is not
strictly defined by his instructions, but
he IS to go thoroughly into all phases OF
the Venezuelan matters, so far as they
may affect the interests OF the United
States. His mission is in a nature con-
fdential, and his report on it will be.
made directly to the President. What
disposition the President will make of
the report cannot be fcre,od. He may
authorize its publication. but the posi-
biliiy is tina, he will treat it as Presi-
dent Mckinley treated that of Judge
Calhoun on Cuba.

SECRET SERVICE WORK.
Aiding Government Lawyers In cotton.Leak
Probe.

Washington, d. c. (SpeeiaD. = The
Secret Service has been called in to
render assistance to the Department OF
Justice in its investigation of the cot
ton-leak scandal, which is now in the
hands of Acting Attorney-General Hoyt
and District Attorney Morgan II Beach,
OF the District OF Columbia. The plan
OF action to be pursued has been out
lined to a large extent, and the second
investigation will be deeper and more
far-reaching than the one conducted by
Secretary Wilson
Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of
the Southern Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, who arrived in Washington with
President Harvie Jordan Of that asso-
citation. intends to remain in Washing
ton until the matter has been settled to
the satisfaction Of the cotton growers.
Mr.. Cheatham has been reticent since
his return and is not talking for publi-
cation because he feels certain that Dis
trict Attorney Beach is making a thor
ough investigation. Mr. Cheatham says
he has not publicly expressed any opin-
ion concerning the integrity OF Mr..
Hyde
Secretary Cheatham spent a very busy
day in Washington Early in the
morning he left his apartments at the
New Willard Hotel and went to the
Office of District Attorney Beach, where
he remained until l o'clock He also
conferred with Acting Chief Moran, Of
the Secret Service, and with Acting At
torney-General Hoyt, Of the Department
Of Justice. 1t is understood that Mr.
Cheatham made valuable suggestions and
furnished some important information
to the District Attorney The Southern
Cotton Growers Association wants the
matter probed to the bottom, and in this
regard it is in accord with President
Roosevelt, whom President Jordan will
see about the case.
Leading men OF the Southern Cotton
Growers Association are greatly pleased
with the result OF Mr.. Cheatham's first
visit to Washington. He ran up against
stone wall when he first laid the
charges before the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that he succeeded in getting
the investigation started. But after the
services of the Secret Service men were
enlisted the investigation proceeded rap
idly, although it was not given wide )at-
tude and was confined largely to the
conduct of former Associate Statistcian
Holmes.
