CARRYING WAR INTO AFRICA.
Anti-Saloon Fight Begins at Mil
waukee, Center of Beer Trade.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis. December 9.-The
Anti-Saloon Leagues war against the
liquor evil will begin today in this center
of Americas beer trade. At a meeting of
the city council an alderman who is
avowedIv not in favor of the rigid en-
forcement of the anti-saloon mems wishes,
will introduce an ordinance providing for
the II o'clock closing of saloons. The ordi-
nance is introduced at the request of the
pastors in the city.
The first steps in the present warfare
were the efforts to cut out the immoral
saloons. Some time ago, without urging,
the police decided to eliminate the stall
saloons. Then the department managed to
secure the discontinuance of licenses Of
all saloons in the red light district.

JAILED FOR ILLEGAL FISHING.

George T.. Riley, the Wilkes
Barre fish and game warden,
charged with catching 1870 trout
under legal size, and sentenced TO
spend 1900 days in Jail, must serve
his sentence. Riley was arrested
several weeks ago by members Of
the State Constabulary on the
charge of having sold to the Mer-
chants Club, of Wilkes Barre, 1870
trout under the legal size. He was
given a hearing before Alderman
Pollock, who fined him $40 for each
fish, making a fetal of $1,000 Riley
refused to pay the same, and then
the Alderman sentenced him to
serve 1900 days in the county Jail,
one day for each dollar fine, Riley
took an appeal from the Alderman's
Judgment and on this appeal the
argument was held on Saturday
before Judge Ferris, who dismissed
the appeal, affirmed the Judgment
of the Alderman and directed that
Riley must serve the sentence i'm
posed by the Alderman. The Sheriff
took charge of Riley and escorted
him to jail

he beard the story, released the

late their provisions. This case is

Columbia Park in Gala Attire.

Columbia park at Lime Ridge, is
now running full blast and there
are but few parks of its size in Cen
trail Pennsylvania that are so well
equipped to accommodate large
crowd as is this place. J. w. PETER,
the manager, has had erected two
new cottages and these together
with the other buildings will shell
ter crowd of 1000 in case of rain.
Fine flower beds have been laid
out and present very beautiful
appearance. Scattered around
through the grove are benches and
tables which are used for basket
pcnics, while new dining room
large enough to accommodate 100
persons, has recently been erected
for picnickers who wish dinners
prepared on the grounds.
Almost every day there are sew
eral private parties on the grounds,
and Mr.. Peifer already has a large
number of picnics booked for the
present season, the parties coming
from Danville, Bloomsbury, Cata-
wissa and Berwick.
Last summer there were picnics
at the park every day, many of the
Sunday schools from this section
having their annual outings at Col
umbia park, and the booking this
year includes almost all of the
institutions that picnicked at the
park last summer, which alone
speaks we'll for Columbia park.
Mr.. Bittenbender, the assistant
is hustler, and it is largely due tc
his efforts that he amusements are
so popular.

FOR STATE TREASURER.
John G. Harman viii be Named by State
Convention.

The Democratic State Convention
in session at Harrisburg today, will
nominate Our distinguished citizen,
Hon. John G.. Harman for the of
fee of State Treasurer. No one
else is talked of, and unless some
thing unforeseen occurs, he will be
nominated. Mr.. Harman attracted
statewide attention i'll the lcgisla-
ture by his fight for reform, and by
his able speeches. He has not
sought the office, and if it comes to
him it will come without any solic-
itation on his part.
Treasurer Berry will be tempo.
rary and permanent chairman of
the convention. He spent most of
his time yesterday in company with
Colonel Jares NJ. Guffey, State
Chairman Charles p. Donnelly and
ex-State Chairman J. X. p. Hall
Mr.. Berry's speech will be aimed to
spread a belief that there would
have been a poor chance of an un-
covering of the Capitol thieves if
the Democratic party, aided by
homes, Republicans had not elected
its State Treasurer candidate. The
Berry speech will also review the
revelations of the robberes commit
ted under their noses, if not with
the connivance of Republican State
officers, and will be, in connection
with the platform, the Keynote of
The approaching State campaign.
We will print it in full next week.
The platform will deprecate Re
publican Machine attempts to throw
dust into the eyes of the robbed
taxpayers by booming Presiden-
tial candidate and eulogizing Roose-
welt. As to the deductions from
the Capitol probing, there will be a
demand for Congressman Cassell's
resignation, a severe condemnation
of the Auditor Generals depart
ment and a demand upon the pres
ent State Administration for speedy
prosecution, criminally and civilly,
of the Capitol grafters.
Unequal and unnecessary taxa
ton, causing the huge surplus of
State funds i'll banks especially fa-
vored by Machine politicians, will
be denounced in The platform. 1t
will contain strong antitrust dec
larations and will condemn the Re-
publican majority of the Legisla-
ture for killing ballot reforms in
the last session. The defeat of the
McCord bill, for popular vote at
the primaries upon United States
Senatorial candidates, will also be
condemned. Insufficiency of the
fines for violations of the railroad
laws recently passed will be de-
nounced. 1t will be pointed out
that if so much of the public funds
had not been stolen it would not be
to ignore the civil war
veterans in the present appropria.

that briquettes made of the slack

The reason that they have not been
more generally used heretofore is
that there has not been enough
margin of profit in making bri
quettes. But since they furnish a
good smokeless fuel, there is fair
probability that their use will be
taken up by the railroads within

The officers of the government
who are willing to sacrifice them
selves on the altar of their country
by taking a vacation at the sea-
shore during the hot weather, are
beginning to fit out of Washing
ton. Secretary Metcalf of the Ma
Wy Department has just started on
his summer vacation for the Pacific
Coast. His home is out there, but
he is going to investigate labor con-
ditions and work IN the shipyards,
so it is quite possible he will be
able to charge the trip up to the
government. There has been trou-
bic about warship building on the
Pacific coast sure enough. The
price of labor and material has adj
vanCed mously, the former ow-
ing to the eXactions of the labor
unions, and the Union Iron Works
which mad, world wide reputa-
tion in building the battleship Ore
gon, has notified the Navy Depart
ment that it will be impossible for
1t to accept any more government
contracts. This is annoying as it
had been intended to have one of
the two 20, 900 ton battleships built
on the Pacific coast. The Secreta-
ry intends to Inspect the ship yards
and will be in better position then
to say if there is any remedy for
the present condition.

The trial of Edwin S. Holmes,
formerly associate statistician of
the Department of Agriculture, is
proceeding. Holmes was the sta
tistician under whom the famous
leak" in the cotton crop statistics
occurred. According TO the evil
dence now being given in court, it
would seem that Mr.. Holmes ought
to be sent to the insane asylum in
stead Of the penitentiary for not
making more than he did out Of his
information. He was practically in
sole charge of the cotton crop re-
port tor long time and manipulate
ed it to suit the needs of his clients
who were playing the market. He
had a sure thing and if he wanted
to be crooked at all, it would seem
that he might have made millions
just as easily as he made thousands.
The testimony shows that he was
selling information to three or four
New York cotton brokers and TAX
ing rake off on their winnings.
He seems to have been a modest
young man and was satisfied with
a small share of the profits. He
made from $40, 900 to 500, 900 at a
stroke but this seems mere chicken
feed to what he might have made
with the information at his COM
mand. 1t looks from the present
testimony as though Mr.. Holmes
had prohted from his dishonesty in
very homeopathic doses,

From our Regular Correspondent.

IIOil OuI NtSuldl wi lSoIOuuCHt'
Washington, D. c. June "a. 1907.
In spite of the circumstantial re
port that Ambassador Aoki of Japan
was about to be recalled, official
confirmation is lacking. 1t is known
that Ambassador Aoki has a num-
Der of enemies at the japanese
couit and he has been put in a very
embarrassing position, at least it
would be embarrassing for a Cau-
cassian, in having to report one
g to his government and see the
nment give out an entirely
ent report to the public. This
the case in the killing of the
inese poachers OH the Island of
Paul and in some of the Japan
.;e troubles that have occurred on
the Pacific coast. Since the report
of his recall the Japanese foreign
office has kept quiet, neither con-
firniing nor denying the report, and
at the Japanese Embassy here, the
Ambassador has denied himself to
all newspaper callers and explained
through his secretary that it is inn
possible for him to talk on any sub
ject even the weather.

be doing very thorough job of
cleaning up land bounty grafters
who have for years been fattening
at the expense of the old pensioners.
About six months ago, the Com
missioner began to be aware of what
was common knowledge in Wash
ington for years, that there was a
regular business being carried on in
specializing in land bounty war
rants. AS many people do not
seem familiar with the law, it may
be worth while to explain that SOL
diers, their widows and their heirs
of all the wars prior to March 1855,
are entitled to bounty OF 100 acres
of government land in addition to
their pension. This is right enough
ii the old soldiers or their widows
get it. But there have been many
pension agents who have made a
practice of hunting up pensioners
who had not claimed their land
bounty, putting the claim through
for them and then buying the war
rant from them cheaply as possible
and selling it to the highest bidder.
There was a regular market in land
script, and a warrant for 100 acres
was worth from 800 to $3.50. They
were mostly sold to the big timber
and mineral land companies. The
attorneys used to get them from the
pensioners to whom they were
issued for from SIS upward. They
usually represented that the bounty
was worth nothing after it was OBJ
tanned, and one firm disbarred last
week, was alleged to have made
100000 out of dealing in land
script alone. In fact they did moth
ing else. There were many pitiful
cases unearthed in which old SOL
diers and their widows had been
shamelessly robbed and in some
cases the pension firms would even
have executors appointed for dead
soldiers who had neither heirs MOI
widows. Some firms have been dis
barred from practice before the In,
terror Department, and a number ol
others are now under investigation

treated by their attorneys can pre-
sent their cases to the Commits

MAY WORK AS BAKER, BUT -
MUST NOT OPEN A SHOP
Judge Graham Compels Louis Wore
to Keep His Agreement With
His Former Partner

An employing baker who sells out
to his partner under an agreement
never to go into business again in the
same city may work at his trade as
a journeyman. but cannot open another
shop. This was the decision rendered
by Judge Graham yesterday in the
case of E. Perrot against Louis Yore
Perrot and Yore were partners In
French bakery at 1881 Twentieth street
and Perrot bought out Yore The
agreement of sale contained a stpula-
ton that Yore should never start an
other bakery in San Francisco Ac-
cording to Perrot, Yore ignored the
agreement, opened a bakery at 1910
Pierce street and devoted some of his
energy to coaxing customers away
from his old partner. Perrot hurried
to court and obtained a temporary or
der restraining Yore from carrying on
business Judge Gaham heard the tes-
timony in the case yesterday and made
the injunction permanent.
Yore testified that he was merely an
employe OF the Pierce street shop In
deciding the case Judge Graham told
Yore that he could work as baker
as much as he pleased, but could never
more rank as proprietor of a bakery
in San Francisco.
