RICH TREE CHOPPERS.
Boston Financiers Buy Timber Land
and Will Cut ALI Winter.

Boston Financiers buy Timber Land
and Will Cut All Winter.
Grant II. Beebe of Boston and John
n. Whittikind, also Of Massachusetts,,
both wealthy, have come to Vermont to
benefit their health and incidentally to
show the native lumbermen that city
men are not afraid Of hard work, says
Rutland dispatch. The two men have
bought for about $4,000 600 acres Of
valuable timber land in Shrewsbury
and Sherburne, erected a mill upon it
and will spend the winter cutting the
trees and saving the lumber for the
Boston market. Clad in leather jack
cts, rough wooden pants and mOccastns,
like the Vermont lumbermen, they
shoulder their axes every morning at
daylight and keep up all day with the
best of their employees In cutting down
the big trees.
The tract which these men have
bought contains one Of the few forests
of primeval spruce timber in the state.
They will cut none but the largest
trees. So determined are they to pre-
serve the forest with view to having
big timber to sell for years to come that
offers for several thousand young
Christmas trees were refused this fall.
There is one piece Of woods that con-
tains 400 spruce trees measuring eight
inches through seventy-tive feet from
the ground. These will be peeled and
shipped as masts.

scarce Stock market conditions dem
onstrate that Railroad managers
know that our railroads are overtaXed
that old sections of the country are
badly in need of enlarged facilities, and
that new sections are greatly in need
of additional mileage. All indications
point to a renewal of railroad building,
particularly west of the MISSISSIPPI,
where present facilities are inadequate.
In this decade there has been none of
the excessive railroad building which
iprecipitated previous crises. The rail-
roads therefore must be eliminated as
an element of weakness, when in fact
they were never in stronger position.
If we consider the iron trade, which
ds very properly accepted as our bese
signal barometer, we find that the
country is producing iron products
with marvellous freedom: and yet there
are no signs there of overproduction,
On the contrary, the nations demand
is still far ahead of capacity and the
entire product of our mills is sold
ahead for months to come.

A DISTRESSING SITUATION.
Esprit Lake Beacon.l

Standpat statesmen are searching
the highways and byways of public at
fairs for an issue upon which they dare
attack the president. They did not
want to support him for nomination
but popular pressure was too heavy for
resistance The unprecedented en-
dorsement recorded at the polls made
the standpat politician good Indian,
but it did not in the least remove his
contempt for this popular Ajax of re-
form. 1t has been the evident purpose
of Roosevelt to do business rather than
to fly banners. He has given men out
of harmony with his spirit and pur-
pose all possible concession. He has
spared their feelings, while offending
the impatient reformer, by moving
with rare discretion against single for
tifications rather than charging the
whole line Proceeding so kindly and
so inoffensively the hope has been in
spired that the brutal frankness of
effective executive action would not be
exercised. 1t is now manifest this hope
will not be justified by executive con-
duct. 1t is apparent the president
means Just what he said about railway
control There is no longer any doubt
that he is disposed to pillory the Of
fender in high places. There is sub
stantial ground for the consuming fear
that he has just made a start in his
campaign and that he is accommodating
ammunition for all kinds of big politi-
cal game.
Standpat apprehension Of presiden-
tial policy is well founded. 1t is a
mistake from that point Of view to
temporize. If there is any way under
heaven or among men to check the
strenuous Theodore in what stand
patters believe to be his mad caree.
there is no time for fooling. Delays
are dangerous. To give up the rail-
way fight is but to strengthen his
hands for further attack, for each
victory will help him some other to
win" If it is too late to hit him eff
fectively on the railway question new
standpatism. Will it be the canal ?
Will it be Taft or Root or both? Can
the people be made to see of what
cheap metal their hero is composed?
Can the Roosevelt killers counter on
the tariff ripper through the old farce
"Fooling the Farmer, or the Perils Of
Canadian Invasion?' Issues are the
thing. Political kingdoms (title I'M
warranted) can be bowled into the
ring in exchange for issues that will
do the business. But the situation is
very serious 1t is not only necessary
to curb and destroy the untamed
statesman in the white house. The
people must simultaneously be chloro-
formed For if this foolishness cannot
be suppressed in the cornfields, and
shops and stores and offices it were
just as we'll to let Roosevelt continue
to lead the reform herd.

MOTOR SKATING THE LATEST
Novel French Invention Shown at
Paris Automobile Salon.

novel, EFenCn 1HNGHtAOM SAVSSA 80
Paris Automobile Salon.
Motor skating is the latest possibility
that is likely to attract the attention OF
the sport loving public in the near flu
ture, says the New York Times. What
effect motor skates will have upon the
future of motor cycles or even light
runabout automobiles it is problematic.
al at this time to speculate, but the
fact that such speculations may assume
very practical shape is seen In the fact
that pair Of motor skates is now on
exhibition in the Paris automobile
salon. These motor skates have at
tracted much attention, but the In
ventor, NJ. Constantine, intends to de-
vote more time in improvements before
he places them upon the market. He
claims, however, that the wonderful
tales Of the seven league boots will
dwindle almost into significance when
motor skates become the popular rage
The skates as at present constructed
weigh about sixteen pounds and Will
cost about $780, Each skate Is pro
PEELED by motor OF one and one-fourth
horsepower, sufficient to give the wear
er an opportunity to attain speed of
from six to thirty miles an hour. They
are roller skates. the wheels being eight
inches in diameter and the residence Of
the solid tires is supplemented by spe-
cial compensating suspension which
takes the place Of springs. The gaso-
line and accumulators are carried In a
belt which is strapped around the
waist and flexible wires connect the
belt with the motors. The general ap-
pearance Of these ingenious skates Is
said to resemble miniature motor cars.
They are about fifteen inches long
and broad in proportion. NJ. Con-
stantini is an inventor Of some note,
and he firmly believes there is great
future ahead for motor skating.

Rich St. Louis Brewer Begins to Think
Foreigner Who Tried to EIope With
Miss Busch and Then Demanded an
Immense Dowry Was Simply For
tune Hunter.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. There will be-
no grand New Years wedding at the
home of Adolphus Busch, millionaire
brewer, today. Announcement was
made today that the marriage of Miss
Wilhelmina Busch, the brewers daugh-
ter, and Edward Scharrer, officer in
the German army and rich hop mer-
chant definitely had been postponed.
AS a matter Of fact, the engagement
has been broken. Miss Busch will be
packed off to California and the Ger
man lieutenant advised to return to
his regiment to avoid the consequences
of wooing that might have been con-
sidered the proper thing in the dark
ages, when might was right.
100000 Dowry Demanded.
From responsible persons in Belle
vile, Ill, who are intimate with the
Busch family and who are familiar
with all the facts bearing upon last
Wednesdays elopement to that city of
the ulti-millionaire brewers daugh-
ter with Lieut.. Scharrer. it was learn
ed last night that there is every reason
to believe Scharrer deliberately put the
young woman in compromising posi-
ton for the purpose of forcing her FAM
lily to agree to their marriage and that
after Adolphus Busch learned of the
elopement Scharrer demanded that her
father settle upon her dowry Of a
million dollars before marriage could
take place.
This demand is said to have opened
Mr.. Busch's eyes to Scharrers real
purpose, and he is said to have angrily
declared that not only would he not
settle any dowry upon the daughter,
but that he would never consent to the
marriage to Scharrer.
Other equally startling stories are
told Of the escapade and in all of them
Lieut.. Scharrer is put in a bad light.
He has remained steadfast in his de-
termination not to discuss the matter
in any phase. His attitude is one OF
supreme Indifference to public opinion
in the matter, although he has been
generally and vigorously criticised for
his part in the affair."

SENATE TO SHOW ITS HAND.
President Will Know Fate Of His Nom
inees This Week.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The senate will
ont do very much legislative business
this week. 1t is not expected the ses-
sion will occupy more than two days
Thursday and Friday. The ship sub
sidy bill is the unfinished business and
Senator Gallinger may open the de-
bate in favor of the measure. This will
depend upon the desire of senators who
may wish to consider other business.
There is a considerable amount Of ex-
ecutive business, some of which is in
controversy and this may consume the
few days the senate is In session. At
the time of the adjournment the con-
firmation of the Panama canal COM
nrissjoners had been reconsidered and
the nomination of J. B. Bishop as a
new commissioner had just been made.
These nominations had all been re-
ferred to the committee on interoceanic
canals and it is expected that early
reports will be made in order that the
senate may take them up.
lere are some other nominations in
controversy, notably two officers who
have been redetailed as chiefs of bu-
reaus in the war department and a
legal question has been raised as to
the meaning of the law providing for
such details Some other nominations
have been held up and the senate may
devote all it's time this week to execu-
tive business.
Even if nominations are not to be
considered, the new developments in
Santo Domingo will afford opportunity
to discuss the treaty informally. AT
present that treaty is not before the
senate, having a second time been re-
ferred to the committee on foreign re-
lations. 1t is expected it will be amend
ed IN several particulars before it again
comes before the senate.
AS if in anticipation of the flight OF
Morales and the establishment of an
other government in Santo Domingo
the state department had recommend
ed that the treaty be amended SO that
it would confer authority upon the
United States to deal with any existing
government in the island. Possibly
the situation may be discussed in the
senate even before the treaty is re-
ported.

Dougherty Defalcation
SCHOOL MANS sWINDLE
SCHOOL MANS SWINE
Peoria School Boards Report Will
Show That the Man Who Acted as
Superintendent for SO Many Years
Was the Greatest swindler Of His
Ase-other News.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Startling disclos-
ures will be made in report on the
defalcation of former Superintendent
of Schools Newton c. Dougherty which
will be presented to the Peoria school
board tomorrow night. The school
man will be shown to have been ono
of the greatest swindlers the world ev-
err has known.
The report, which is being prepared
by the Everett Audit Company of Chi
cago, embraces an investigation of the
records and accounts of the last sew
en- years, and will show a total short
age of more than 100000 in that time.
This is more than the widest conjec-
ture previously had made the steal in
the whole twenty-five years of Dough-
erty's trusteeship. The auditors still
are at work on the books. and from a
preliminary survey of the whole task
it is known that the shortage for eight
teen years will exceed S1,00O,O00.
1t has transpired from members of
the Investigating committee that not
only will the report of the audit COM
pany scathingly censure the members
OF the present and past school boards
for their negligence of duty, but will
declare boldly that the liquidated Pc
oria National bank is responsible up to
the limit of liability for the loss to the
school fund.
This charge is based on the fact that
