special 10 the world.
Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 1l.-Work
will commence Monday on the grand
stand race track for the new state
fair. The crops were bought this
morning that cover the fair ground
site.
The gran stand will be 500 feet
long and deep. enough to accommo-
date an Immense crowd. II will be
erected at the end of the race course
so as Il spectators can have a fine
view q, .elie races.
The half-mile race course vii be
well graded and the site for it is a
most excellent one. Inside the pad

baseball games.
The numerous towns that have sig
nifed their intention TO join in the
new state fair are sending in the
names of those to represent them as
directors and are taking lively in
terest in the arrangements to make
it grand success. The fact that
each town participating will have its
own separate quarters, where its dis
play can be made and advertising
matter distributed, appeals strongly
to the local pride of the various
towns, because it is a miniature fair
for each of them,
Secretary Lavey leaves Monday
for Kansas City to inspect the fair
grounds there, as well as canvass the
manufacturing establishments and
machinery dealers to get as many
of them as possible to make an ex-
hibit at the new state fair. His trip
will no doubt result in securing q
sufficient number to add much inter
est to the display. This section offers
fine field for the Kansas City ma
chinery dealers and manufacturers
that they desire to cultivate, and
this fair is most appropriate pace
to make an exhibit.
The meeting he'd this morning by
the fair promoters was well ATTENDED

acted. There will be sessions of th'
directors and managers as often al
the occasion requires, because it il
their intention to push the projec

GOMPERS SCORES CANAL COMMISSION
ON ITS PANAMA LABOR ATTITUDE

fore not seen why the law passed
in the interest of American labor at
home should be applicable to alien
labor who probably never heard of
its existence. Its application would
have increased the labor cost of the
canal several million dollars. Amer
lean labor in tins country would have
to pay its share of the consequent
increased taxation without any bene-
fit to itself.
"At the time Of my interview with
Gompers, in discussing the eight
hour law, aside from what have al
ready said, ! stated that my under
standing of the reason for the enact.
ment of the eight hour law in this
country was primarily to give the
highest type of labor in the world
longer hours for mental recreation
and improvement; but that with the
lowest class Of labor, as s' Panama
it would be more helpf,.i and iiore
an act of kindness than otherwise
to permit them to work ten hours
and pay them for it--because they
are paid by the hour.
GAS to the statement of Gompers
that the existing law excludes Chin
ese laborers and Coolies from the
United States or any Of its posses
sions, ths Panama canal zone is an
American possession and it is as much
in violation of law to bring Chinese
Coolies there as it is in other por-
tions of our country, | can only say
that the commission has secured the
opinion of the highest legal author
tiles Of the government. II has been
held that such law does not apply to
the canal ycne.

in which the marchioness, who is a
very pretty woman, was prominent.
In fact the Judge said if it were not so
serious the matter might be compared
to comic opera, recalling the fact
that the marquis was detained by or
der of the lunacy commissioners and
saying that when he wanted to remain
away from his wife as he had testified,
she locked him in the room and chat
now when all he wanted to do was to
stay at home with his wife, il was al
legged that he was lunatic.
The marquis and marchioness were
most afliectionate during the trial.
Her testimony strongly favored his
soundness of mind, but was bitterly
against the influence of Robbins over
him.

ELIHU ROOT ADDRESSES SOUTH
AMERICANS.
INTERESTS ARE MUTUAL
American Statesman Pays High Trib-
ute to Latin Americas s Ability to
Take Care of Itself.

Montivideo, Uruguay, Aubust H.
Entertainments provided today for
Elihu Root, the American secretary Of
state, embraced an automobile excur-
sion, visit to famous breedings studs,
reception by municipality, banquet by
President Ordonez, gala perform
ance at the theatre. Popular enshusi-
asm is great and the visitors are being
greeted everywhere by cheering crwds.
AT the government house banquet,
Root was welcomed in a speech by
Minister of Foreign Affairs Romeu,
who expressed the confident belief
that the visit of the American secre-
tary of state would mutually benefit
the relations between The two conn
tries.
In replying, Secretary Root said:
at is most gratifying to hear from
the lips of one of the masters of,
South American diplomacy, one who
knows the reality of international pol
itics, so just an estimate of the atti-
tude of my own country towards her
South American sisters.
"The great declaration of Monroe
made in the infancy Of Latin Ameri-
can liberty, was an assertion to all
the world of the competency of Latin
Americans to govern themselves and
their country. That assertion my
country has always maintained; and
my presence here is, in part, for the
purpose of giving evidence of her be-
lief that truth Of assertion has been
demonstrated that in the progressive
development which now attends the
course Of nations, the people of South
America have proved that their ma
tional tendencies and capacities are,
and will be on, and ever on, i'll the
path Of order and liberty.
81 am here to learn more and also
to demonstrate our belief in the sub
stantial similarity of interests and
sympathies of American self-govern-
ing republics.

and one witness testified that his
engage ment to a rich young Amer
lean heiress had been nearly con-
cluded when he became affianced to
Miss Sutherst, whose father, bar
rister, was an undischarged bank
rupt, but whom the marquis and his
advisers thought was wealthy. The
Somerset House clerk named Dunno
acted as a marriage broker. Town
send signed a contract to pay him ten
per cent of whatever moneys were
received from the Somerset family.
The marquis settled $l2,500 on his
wife, although his direct income was
only $3l 900, and also signed a deed
giving $3.50 to Robbins. After the
marriage took place, the marchioness
and her father agreed to advance, or
to procure an advance to the marquis
of Sl35,000, with the marquis life
interest in the Townsend estate as Sc
curity, and further agreed to release
the marquis without charge, if there
was male issue from the union within
a year.
Judge ,Bucknel severely condemn
ed what he termed the deceptions of
Suthrest, especially as he was a bar
rister. The case was notable for the
flashes Of Wit and humorous incidents
