SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1907

The commission left Little Rock at o'clock Thursday morning, and the entire day was consumed in making the trip to the state line in a special train, consisting of an engine and one coach The distance between Little Rock and Pine Bluff, where tracl. conditions were found to be fairly good, was made rapidly, but from Pine Buff south the train proceeded slowly. At times the commissioners walked, so as to thoroughly examine certain portions of the roadbed. Some time was also devoted to the inspec- tion of stations, and all the depots were found to be in good condition, the commissionrs stated, with the ex- ception of that at Tillar, where a new building has been ordered.
 No Evidence of Wrecks.
 Asked if the right of way showed evidence of many wrecks, as had been charged by travellers, the commission CTS stated that such was not the case. If many wrecks had occurred recent ly, it was stated, no evidence of it was shown.
 The return trip was made in the night and the party arrived in Little Rock early Friday morning. Secre- tary w. E. Floyd accompanied the commissioners, but Rate Clerk Guy Swain remained in Little Rock in charge of the office.
 An official of the Iron Mountain confirmed the statement that repairs to that portion of the road ill Arkan- sas would be made at once. He estim- ated the expenditure contemplated at fully $200,000. Comparatively few rails will have tob relaid, he said

HOW RULING COULD
 BE TESTED
idra onered at the State Capital in Little Rock Whereby State House Fund and kirb,
 Ruling Tangle Could
 Be Solved.

In the matter of the reported in- tentlon of State Capitol Commission CT Alexander of Pine Bluff to carry the question of the legality of Attorney General kirby's opinion, which pro- hibits the further expenditure of the money i'll the state capitol fund. to the supreme court for final disposi- tion, it was pointed out by state house official yesterday that the course to pursue for the commission CT was simple and inexpensive, says the Little Rock Gazette. Any one of the commissioners could present his voucher for per diem to the state auditor for payment, and upon his re- fusal, apply for a writ of mandamus to compel payment in the circuit court. In the event that the question was decided adversely for the com missioner, the case could be carried to the supreme court on an appeal In a matter of this kind, where the public is so generally concerned, it is very probable that the suit would be advanced peremptorily, on the cal endar and be heard at once. The ex- pense would not be greater than $25 for all the legal formalities necessary to carry it to the supreme court.

a light pink material quarried at Milford, Mass. The interior is fin ished in Knoxville marble and beau tiful glass effects. The general aspect of the monument is for more pleasing than either the Garfield monument In Cleveland or the Grant tomb in New York. H. Van Buren Aagonigle of New York is the architect The general contract for the erection of the monument was in the hands of New York concern, while the granite was sup piled by Buffalo company.
 The Mckinley National Memorial association numbers among it's hon. orary members President Roosevelt and the governors of every state and territory in the Union. Tine late Marcus A. Hanna, one of Pres ident McKinley's closest friends, was vice president of the associa- tion up to the time of his death. The board of trustees, as originally appointed, included William R. Day president; Cornelius N. Bliss, Vice President Fairbanks, George B. Cortelyou, Myron T. Herrick, Alex ander H. Revell, David R. Francis and John G. Milburn, in whose Buff falo home the president died.
 Since that tragic September day in 1901 the people of Canton have sorrowfully observed the anniver. sary of the death of their martyre(i fellow citizen, and today was no exception. As a parent, with halt ing footsteps, approaches the grave of a loved child, so do the people of Canton, with hushed voice and bated breath, gather at the tomb of William Mckinley. The shadow of the great grief that overwhelm- ed the city six years ago still hovers over Canton. Now, after six years, Canton realizes more than ever it did the greatness of the favorite son who has gone. He lies buried only in the narrow box that con- tains his mortal remains; his spir- it and the memory of his character is alive in the hearts of the people. With the citizens of Canton the placing of wreaths upon the silent tomb is not a mere ceremony, but a tribute of love such as it is given to few men to receive from his fel- low citizens after death has claimed him. It is safe to say that a hun. dred years from now Canton will still be observing the overcoming anniversary of McKinley's death while the marble dome of the mon- ument points. as did the life and example of the martyr. ever up. ward.

LABELS ARE WORTHLESS
Pure Food Commission Will Soon De-
clare Labelling Guarantee Useless.

! Pure Food Commission Will Soon Do
clare Labelling Guarantee Useless.
Washington, May 23.-Millions Of
labels printed by manufacturers and
dealers in food commodities are rem
dered practically worthless by forth
coming official decision relative to the
federal pure food law.
Altho warned several months ago by
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson that
the United States government would
not or could not guarantee the contents
of packages, a multitude of dealers
have been goingN ahead and labelling
their packages as being guaranteed
under new pure food laws. 1t is said
at the department that all these labels
are worthless, and that it would have
been better for the dealers to have left
on their old labels But great many
manufacturers and dealers were PERI
haps little too jealous in their desire
to conform to the new law as they Hn-
derstood it, and hence they erred on
the side Of trying to do what was right.
Some, it is intimated, tried the use
Of the label to boost their goods. 9th
ers placed Uncle SAINTS label on be-
caAse they did not know that only q
registered number of inspection is re-
quired It is given out at the pure food
headquarters that the government must
not be expected TO inspect every pack
age, and that the state and local au-
thorities have perhaps as great re-
sponsibilities as the federal govern
ment.

EDDY CASE BEGUN
Suit, Brought by Heirs as "Next
Friend" Commenced Today-Large
Crowd Of "Scientists" Present.

Concord, N. H, May 23.-There was
an interested crowd Of spectators,
mostly Christian Scientists, in the
Merrimack county court house today
when the hour arrived for hearing the
suit brought by next friends" of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy against Calvin
"A. Frye and several other Christian
Scientists for an accounting Of the
property of Mrs. Eddy. Women pre-
dominated in the assemblage. General
Streeter, counsel for defense submitted
to the court a trust deed executed by
Mrs. Eddy, appointing the three trus-
tees to take charge of her property, and
the said trustees now sought to be
substituted as plaintiffs in the suit.
The deed is admitted by both sides to
be genuine Streeter argued the ques-
tion of whether Mrs. Eddy was COM
petent to made deed must be first
settled; that if she is incapacitated,
then "the next friends. had no stand
ing in court. Streeter quoted numar-
Gus authorities to substantiate his
points.
Judge Chamberlain announced, re-
tgarding the motion made on Monday,
that he would rule out the question Of
Mrs. Eddy's capacity, that he would
not now try this main question. He
said the arguments should be confined
strictly to the, question of intervention
OF the trustees as plaintiffs.

the trip of President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley to California, and is thought to
understand well the treatment neces-
sary for her.
A consultation of local physicians
was called for this afternoon to de-
termine what treatment would be re-
sorted to in the hope OF saving her
life.
Mrs, Mckinley has been out driving
almost daily up until Tuesday, altho
she suffered from an attack of grippe a
week ago. Later she suffered an at
tack of bronchitis. Tuesday she was
stricken with slight attack Of apo
plexy and her left arm became par
alyzed. Later she lapsed into coma
tose state, and this afternoon she be-
came unconscious. The attending phy-
sician says that owing to her enfeebled
condition the end may comet at any
time.

Bryan would be the next president, fol-

coal and groceries he claimed joint
rates were only to help a shipper get

In opposition it was advanced that.
his objection to a joint rate on coal
was because joint rates would allow

New Treasurer of the United

Credit Currency
OUR OWN SYSTEM SUPERIOR
Treat DepIore. Fact That Pessimi'tio
Writer. ExtoI to Extravasant De-
gree, Banking Systems Of Foreign
Countries, Believing Rather, in Mod.
tying and Perfectins Ours.

Kansas City. May 23.-Charles HI.
Treat, treasurer of the United States,
addressed the Missouri Bankers Assoc
citation here today on Some Com
ments of the Aldrich Law Treat
said that the law was Of much benefit,
but that banking reforms still remain
to be made. He believed that our ma
tional bank system meets the needs OF
the country as whole, better than
any other system in existence, and
favored modification Of it rather than
any attempt to Introduce any revolu-
tionary scheme, such as credit cur
rency.
Has Expansion Scheme.
He believed that national banks
should be allowed to issue so per cent
of their circulating notes on a basis
of other securities than United States
bonds deposited with the secretary of
the treasury, such notes to be retired
in four, six and eight months from
September Of each year. This plan
would, he said, provfde expansion. Re-
ferring TO Secretary Cortelypus action
in depositing government funds in the
banks last March, when the financial
situation reached an acute stage, Treat
said:
This statesman-like comprehension,
this broad understandings fundamen-
tai as well as practical operations of
national and internationali finance, at
once secured for him the confidence OF
bankers thruout the world--a tribute
that has probably not been bestowed
upon any other new secretary of the
treasury" ys
Our System Superior.
Treat continued: There ie much
discussion regarding the national
banking systeml on the part Of pessi-
mistic writer's, who extol to an exc
travagant degree, the banking systems
OF foreign countries. would beg. to
remind them that there Is no banking
system in any foreign country that is
not subjected to home criticism, in
that it does not altogether meet their
requirements. If such be the case,
why should any attempt be made to
engraft it tupon our system. AS mat
ter of fact, know of no system that
in all respects, for the interests Of the
whole country, as well as a banking
community, which more generally
meets the requirements than our own
national banks. l think fwould be
far more creditable and beneficial to
the country If more thought were given
to the manner in which the banking
system could be modified and per-
fected, rather than an attempt at any
revolutionary scheme such as "credit
currency / believe our present sys-
tenn contains elements that can be de-
veloped to meet every reasonable
emergency in our business life"
