IMPORTS
GREATLY DECREASED

The falling of in importations Of
champagne into the United States, re
Gently noted by the Bureau OF Sta
tistics OF the Department of Commerce
and Labor, appears to be due. in part
at least. to the fact that more than ?
O00.OO0 bottles of genuine champagne
wine is now annually reduced in the
United States.
The importations of champagne IN the
calendar year 1906 fell d.4f4 quarts be
low the imports of 1905, while for the
nine months ending with March, 1901
the falling of was 1852 quarts com
pared with the corresponding months
Of the preceding year; and the single
month of March, 1901, showed a decrease
of 81 800 quarts compared with MdrCh,
1906.
This falling off in the Importation OF
champagne. which was referred 10 IN a
statement prepared by the Bureau OF
Statistics some weeks ago, has led 10 a
considerable CORES pOndence between the
bureau and a large number Of persons
engaged in the importation and sale
of foreign champagne. OF in the produc-
ton and sale Of American wine or lniS
character. This correspondence seems
to Indicate clearly that the manufacture
of genuine champagne wine IN the
United States has quadrupled in the last
decade.

This was part of the argument Of
Mason Smith, coIored, in the Police
Court during the course Of which he

dark fair sex should reward the atten-

into the Hall OF Justice by the heartless
minions Of the law and charged with
having stolen from his sweetheart, Mary
Lee. the sum Of SS-25- Mary was the
first to tell her tale Of woe. after Mason
had pleaded guilty TO the technical
offensc.
She was evidently worried about some
thing. 1t was plain, by her actions, that
she was extremely nervous. Twice be

able symptoms of 3 desire TO swallow

A Fight for Pennsylvania.

Keep your eye on Elllin" is the
way a politician who knows admin
istration plans spoke of the Penn
sylvania situation. He referred to
Justice J. P. EIldn. of the supreme
court of the keystone State, who is
now looked upon as the ordained
leader of anti-machine sentiment in
that State, and who is to contest
with Penrose for the control of the
delegation in 1908 to the national
convention. Later, if plans go as his
supporters hope, ElIin viii succeed
to the Penrose seat in the Senate.
The ancient machine in Pennsyl-
vania, handed down from elder to
younger Cameron, powerful under
Scott's headship, supreme under
Quay, and potent, despite vicissi-
tudes, under Penrose, IS to be at
tackled all along the line. To find
the man of experience, courage, &C
quaintance, and political capacity to
manage such a campaign has not
been easy.
Justice Elkin is believed by the
men who have taken him up to pos
sess all these requisites. He win
press all the advantages involved in
the capitol graft scandals, the So
100000 conspiracy, and the general
sentiment that the Interests" are
on the trail of Roosevelt and Roose-
veltism. He win become the protege
of the Administration in Pennsvl-
vania just as Taft has done in Ohio:
and Pennsylvania, from all present
indications, win be the battle-ground
of a closer contest than that in
Ohio, because the Pennsylvania or
ganization seems in better condition
to withstand assault than is that in
the Buckeye Safe.
It may be expected that Federal
patronage viii be used to further
the purposes of the EIldn contest
in Pennsylvania, just as it has been
and is being employed in Ohio and
in New York. Control Of the dele

SQUAW MAN, ENOCH BROKAW,
IS DEAD AT PERHAM, MINI.
Brilliant, Polished College Graduate Created Sensation

PERHAM. MINI. April 26.-One of the
strangest enhances found outside Of the
pages OF fictioh was revealed by the an
uouncement of the death of EnOch Bro

White Earth Indian reservation.
Brokaw was the son OF Joseph Bro

ST. Cloud. The father was rich and in

most every wish gratifed before ii was
expressed The home in which he was
reared is the residence now occupied BY
Bishop Trobec, and in IT'S time was con-

Young Brokaw was educated at St

Court Loren ". Collins. then a promi-

Balancing the Deficit.

The exchange table has an off day
when some paper does not call for
"A postal service that pays In
the Postoffice Department the of
f1cials, noting the demand, grit their
teeth and work harder. But in Con-
gress-wen when Senators and Rep
resentatives read such editorials
they merely smile and wink the
other eye.
Why?
Because rural free delivery more
than balances any regret they may
feel that Uncle Sans mails do not
pay dividends. A little examination
viii explain the smile and the wink.
In the course Of the past year the
postal revenues were S169, 49,, 7s2. 95.
This was only $40, 542, 941.76 less than
the total cost In other words, the
patrons of the service pay directly
SIS out Of every $40 needed to han
die their mail. And that deficit
more than three times over is COW
cred by the allowances to deliver
mail daily to the farm house.
The S34,oOO,OOO appropriated this
year for rural free delivery provides
for $1,000 routes. About 4,425 pieces
of mail are handled on every one OF
those routes every month. Or, let
ters from friends, money orders.
catalogues, and newspapers are de-
ivered to every family on every
route at the rate Of about two
pieces a day. That is enough to sus-
tain shortage equal to the whole
cost of the rural system; but it is
not all. This years total is an in
crease for each of these farmer fam
lies Of about one piece every other
day, or 20 per cent, and the num-
Der Of money orders per route a
month has advanced from 54S to 6S5.

farmer is secure at the hands of

BIG HOTEL
A LITTLE PLACE
Husband Has Long Search
For His Waiting
Spouse.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. April 26--Anton
Nowokowicz and his wife arrived here
shortly after noon Saturday from Buff
falo. II was their first visit 10 the
city. which 10 them was an uneXplored
wilderness. Anton wanted 10 see a
friend on the South Side. and wishing
10 snare his wife the fatigue Of accom-
panying him on a still hunt for the
friends house. left her IN a saloon near
the DEPOT while ne went on his explor-
ing expedition.
Anton found his friend. and, accom-
panied By the friend, started on his
return tourney TO the place where he
had left his wife. But when he came
down town an unexpected difficulty pre-
scented itself. He had neglected 20 make
a note of the place where he had left
his better half, and was unable 10 To-
cate IL
The two men searched al the terri
tory in the vicinity of the mon depot,
bIlt TO no purpose The only clue that
thew had 10 the location Of the place
was that IL was small. and this was
very uncertain, as later Developments
showed The police We're finally called
in TO assist the distracted husband. ana
after a thorough search the missing
woman was found yesterday morning at
the Viaduct Hotel, on Sixth and ely
bOuru streets
Ia was al this little place" that Anton
had anchored his faithful spouse, and
she had been patiently awaiting his re-
turn since the day before.

the company may refuse to pay the
death claim to a suicide within two
years from the taking out of the
document. Sometimes insanity was
permitted to be proven as a reason
for settling the claim within the
two years specified. The majority
of policies, as we understand it, pay
on suicides deaths after the period
we have mentioned.
But now comes the highest tribu-
mai in the land and decides that the
insurance company must either pay
or be put to the enormous disad-
vantage of attempting to prove that
its policyholders engaged a risk upon
his life with the sole purpose of shut
fling off this mortal coll on his own
account and enriching his heirs, by
that act. This, of course, would be
improbable in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred. A man may take out
a policy with the firm intention of
paying a debt TO his creditors or en-
riching his family at the price of his
own destruction, bat such a man
would be the last to mention such
an intent. In other words, the in
surance companies are now com
PEELED either 10 perform the impossi-
bic or to pay without question the
losses that accrue to them through
the self-inficted deaths of their
policyhOlders.
This is but another in the long
line of decisions, laws and regula-
tions that have tended to restrict
the limits within which life insur-
ance companies must act, and to pro-
vide for the better safeguarding of
those people who accept life insur-
ance as one of the duties, not to say
privileges, of existence.

Eugene J. Tighe.

The good reporter is the mainstay
of the modern newspaper. a dozen
of our contemporaries have lately
been discussing this simple truth
and by recounting episodes in their
own history have done much to
make their readers understand it.
Now it is unhappily brought home
to The Times by the death-particu-
larIy unexpected, because it follow
ed an apparent recovery from a LONG
ilIness-of the veteran of its STAFF,
Eugene J. Tighe.
Reporting is not easy work. Nire
men out of ten fail at il. The rea-
son is that it has its foundation IN
dependability, in superiority above
laziness. in thought of the paper
first and the workman afterward.
In these qualities Mr.. Tighe excelI-
ed. Through twelve years of service
his dependabiIity never failed. And it
was particularly gratifying to this
paper that it was not alone in APP
preeiating this, that when he retired
from his old assignment at the
courts TO seek good health about
six months ago, the whole body of
attorneys gave substantial testimony
that they Of whom he had written
had no less faith in him than the
editors who received his copy. He
was a good reporter, otherwise, ik-

for this country, on which we are
entering. 1t involves immense polit-
zeal consequences, and the playing
is already getting fast and auda-
oious on both sides. Ohio, New York,
and Pennsylvania seem destined to
occupy the center of the stage for
a time; but everything indicates
that Illinois viii very soon be drawn
into the thick of things. The Re

fine washing of its political linen,
and when it is done it viii know
just whose livery it is wearing.
