Roosevelt and corruptlon.

With Congress determined to adjourn
finally this week, there is very little time
for the House of Representatives to act
upon the Tllman bin to prohibit contri-
buttons by the national banks and other
corporations 10 the campaign funds of
political parties The bill was passed
by the Senate several weeks ago,
but in the House of Representative il
was referred to committee and there per-
mitted to rest Thus far there has been
no effot TO bring il up for final action,
and the probabilities are that il Will lie
in committee until the next regular ses-
sion.
One Republican newspaper which be-
lieves that danger TO the Republican
party attends inaction by Congress upon
this important measure is the New York
Tribune. The enactment of this measure,
it holds, 'is a reform which public opinion
demands, and there is no reason why il
should not have its first trial in the ap-
preaching Congressional campaign Delay
in legislating against corrupt practices
will only suggest evasion, and such a
charge will prove embarrassing to meet
in the present temper OF the voters"
In his latest annual message to the
Congress, President Roosevelt alluded to
this subject and declared that "all con-
tributions by corporations to any poll
tical committee should be forbidden to
law" But throughout the session of
Congress he has not raised his hand in
furtherance Of the pending measure,
although he has fought for other measures
with great vigor. He has not threatened
to call the Congress together in extraordi-
nary session should it fail to enact a Cor
rupt Practices act at the regular session.
Yet President Roosevelt and Speaker
Cannon, in combination, could have this
measure through the House in an hour if
they would join hands for the purpose
And no doubt the Speaker would help
the President, if asked by the latter to
do so. But the President shows not the
slightest inclination to move in the
matter. Why

NOT CAUGHT
But SIeuths Were on the
Track Of the Canton
jail Birds According to
Reports.

Says the New Philadelphia Times:
"The search for the supposed es-
capped Jail breakers, of Canton, which
was conducted near New Cumberland
Friday, proved futile. Deputy Sher-
iff Oberlin, Of Canton, led one posse
and Officer Benbow another A large
tract of underbrush containing As
acres was thoroughly whipped as was
smaller tract, but the fugitives were
not found. That they had been there
was known because of the tracks that
were discovered as we'll as other evil
dence. The officers have reason to
believe that they were clipped off"
and that the gang "hiked" away be-
fore the posse arrived on the scene.
1t would have been a very easy mat
ter for them to get away from the vi
cinity, as the Wabash runs through
the town of New Cumberland. The
officers returned to this city Friday
night, about worn out from their long,
hard chase. They said that the peo.
pie were anxious to have the gang
rounded up and gave them all the
help they needed"

TROUBLE NOT OVER
Non-Commssioned Officens of Com
pany Resent Statement Attri-
buted to Captain Clay.

According to the non-commissioned
officers the "mutiny" as Captain Clay
styles the recent trouble in Company
&c is by no means over and they are
highly Indignant over his statement
published in another paper. The fact
that their actions were styled as "ba-
byish" due to being tired and disgrunt-
led from their trip of about 20 miles
only augmented the feelings of the
officers and men and those who re-
signed, which includes practically the
whole list, emphatically state that
they will not serve as officers under
the present captain under any cir
cumstances
They had hoped to talk it over
with Clay last Tuesday, which was
regular drill night but as he was not
present, nothing could be done. They
are in hopes an understanding will
be reached tomorrow evening as they
want the matter settled as soon as
possible and to do this, say that a
court martial will be necessary.
They also claim that ON their return
at the time the trouble was started,
the remarks passed reflected on their
actions as soldiers at the encamp-
ment which they say are groundless.
To substantiate their denial one Of
the officers says "out of the seven
orderlies appointed to Colonel Voll-
rath during the encampment, four of
them were from orr cOmDanV which
was one of the highest distinctions
obtainable, and was the talk of the
regiment"

WRECK At ALLIANCE
Narrowly Escaped Proving Fatal to Many Several
PASSENGERS and Two Trainmen Injured.

head and shoulders Trainmaster
Harrington, who was in the front
part of the car at the point where 1t
was struck, was hit by flying timbers
and was severely cut and bruised
about the head and shoulders. Both
men were able after medical atten-
tion to be conveyed to their homes
and will recover in a short time.
Mrs. Mathew Maus, of Deerfeld,
was severely cut about the nose.
John Lloyd, travelling man from
Turtle Creek, received several cuts
about the head. Mrs. w. j. Shade

the front part of the coach with her
two little boys was thrown into the
aisle and one arm was slightly bruis
ed. All the passengers received a
severe shaking up but were not In
jured byond slight bruises, and small
cuts by flying glass.
If the speed of the shifting engine
had been a little greater a score of
persons would undoubtedly have been
killed or injured. The wreck delay

was filled with passengers from the

M 'KINLEy HOTEL
No Truth in Report of Contemplated
Change of Management

The much circulated report that the
management Of the Mckinley Hotel
is about to change hands is absolute
ly unfounded. J. D. Lawrence, who
has successfully managed the McKin-
ley for the past year, will remain in
charge
MIR. Lawrence, when interviewed last
evening, stated: There is absolutely
no truth in the report that there is
to be a change in the management OF
the Mckinley.
The only possible foundation to this
report was an article published in
Hotel Life" one week ago stating
that L. H. Mccormick had been ap-
pointed manager of the Mckinley
Canton, Ohio. However, the following
was clipped from Hotel Life" August
25, contradicting the erroneous report:
