exclusion OF all others. It Is the duty Of
the head Of this department to point to de-
fects, and he may suggest ways in which,
in his opinion, they can be cured. The
legislative branch of the government must
in the nature OF things, have credit for
whatever laws are passed, and Il must
likewise bear alone the responsibility II II
fail to act after threatened dangers have
been clearly defined.
Former Recommendations Renewed.
I desire to repeat, and emphasize II pos
sible, several of my recommendations Of
First-A law giving trust companies OF
large capitalization in large cities the
privilege Of Incorporating under national
law with corresponding supervision, but
with no authority to issue circulation,
Sccond-ThC establishment of a depart
ment savings bank in Washington upon
the mutual plan prevalent I'm most OF the
New England states, in the hope of en-
couraging the habit Of saving among gov
Third-A law licensing customs brokers,
or some other provision by which the Gus
toms department can protect Itself from
the few disreputable practitioners before II.
Fourth-A provision for a nominal filing
fee for entering protests and appeals in
customs cases, recoverable should the case
be successfully prosecuted.
Fisth-The abolition OF all fees and per-
auis'tes of collectors and other customs
Sixth-A liberalization OF our drawback
laws. Any provision that will assist In
securing foreign market for the product
of American labor has the unqualified en-
dorsement OF the present head of this de-
pRrtment.
Seventh-Leglslation which will insure a
merchant marine, For years I have urged
this, in season and out Of season. The noNt
twenty years will witness as intense conf
mercial contests for trade expansion az
were ever prosecuted for territorial ex-
pansion II is idle to suppose the United
States can attain any considerable measure
of success without as favorable equipment
as its commercial competitors.
Eighth-The establishment of pneu-
ecutive departments within the District OF
Columbia.
Ninth-The early erection Of hall OF
records on the site already purchased. The
saving in rent would more than pay interest
on its cost and its erection would result In
greater efficiency in all the departments

Jane Baldwin, as administrators of the
estate of Henry d, Baldwin, has brought
suit in the United States circuit court
against the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cihc for damages in the sum of 1880 for
the death Of her husband while In the EN-
ploy Of that road Through being struck by
an. engine at the east end Of the Union
Pacific bridge in Iowa April 10, 1906,
The petition alleges that the humane
doctrine and last chance rule" were not
observed with proper diligence by the de-
PENDANTS while Baldwin was in an eX-
tremely perilous position and that the
agents and employees OF the defendant road
were negligent and failed to observe the
necessary caution for safety Of its employee
in this instance. The case is transferred
from the district court of Douglas county.
The heavy damages for death in this par
ticular case are based on the Iowa law,
which places no limit upon a death claim
caused by corporations. Under the Ne
braska law the limit of a. death claim Is
$500.

Location of Wind Mills.
About the only matter of interest de-

was regarding the exact location of the
famous Twin Wind Mills" Several Of the
witnesses located the Twin Wind Mills
twenty or more miles southeast of Gordon,
while others were certain they were any

and stili others insisted that they were east
OF Gordon from twenty to thirty miles.
Win q. COmstock said to a reporter for
The Bee, in response to an inquiry on this
matter:
THE mistake Of locating the Twin Mills"
is very natural from the fact that there
are a dozen or more Of these twin mills"
scattered over the ranch. They are a
necessity because OF the high winds fire.

Articles Of incorporation we're died
Wednesday for the Elmwood club Of which
mention was made in The Bee two weeks
ago. This is a club composed Of horse
overs Of the city and the purpose OF the
club as set forth in the articles Of incOr-
Eoration Is to operate a club house near
Jmaha known as an owners driving and
iding club and an automobile club and
NrOunds. Authority Is also given by the
ilces to give speed contests and open-air
hows.
The Blmwood club was incorporated for
5000 capital, with shares at 500 per share
md the articles state the club may begin

the land having already been leased. The
club house will be erected near the old
Elmwood race track which will be utilized
as a speedway, little expense being neces-
sary to make the track available for inn
mediate use.
Good Races in sight.
While the club is social in its nature and
designed to give the horse lovers Of Omaha
a place where they may work cut their
horses, stlll with the track fixed up as It
will be, the only mile track in the state,
It is more than likely that some good race
meets will be pulled off at the Elmwood
club and one Of these probably this summer.
Stables will be erected for the care of
horses and the club house built on one of
the hllsides which overlook the entire
track
A meeting Of the incorporators was held

the club house for the new club and also
to build stables at the track. This will
assure the club having its house built
early in the spring and is also taken by
the members to mean that Mr.. Creighton
intends to move his string Of horses from

 Allain Is e remarkable negro. He belongs to the new-old school of blacks in that while he was a slave and pos- sesses all of the ante bellum negros love for his white people. he has not been a dependent. He has made his own way and Is now engaged in an effort to bring about a better feeling between the whites and the blacka
 He bears letters from ex-GovernoI Heard of Louisiana, J. c. Wickliffe O. New Orleans and other prominent men of Louisiana, his native State. These letters show that Allain served In tar Louisiana Senate continuously from 1872 to 1892 having been continued in office by the people of Iberville Parish after the State was redeemed from car pet-bag rule. He Is commended iT terms of warmest praise.
 Ailain now resides in Chicago but owns property in Louisiana and says he keeps in close touch with his friends there. He professes deep concern for the future of the negro race in the United States unless they are drawn closer to the white people of the Soutt who understand them best and, he says would sympathize with them if thu larger masses of the negroes would de port themselves differently.

 "Sixty-three thousand bales seem to me to be fairly correct. Our Figures are accurate We do not count. in our statements. cotton bough. by us snd stored at our warehouses.
