Henry clews, Warning.

Henry Clews, the New York bank
er, in expressing himself relative to
the recent utterances of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, sets
forth some facts that should be care
fully noted by all the people, espe-
cially those who contend that the
administration is hostile to the cor
porations. He says:
Secretary Tafts strong endorse
ment of the presidents policy and
the presidents own speech, are
strong and sufficient evidence that
the president can not be budged from
his crusade against the viodators of
the interstate commerce laws by
clamor or criticism. and l suggest
that rather than to violently oppose
the presiden hereafter it will be we'll
for the corporation magnates and
managers to fall info line and let the
public understand that they will
strictly obey the interstate COM
merce and the Sherman antitrust
laws. They might as we'll accept the
inevitable, for it is plainly evident
that he will not change, and the stat
ute laws should be observed There
has been great misunderstanding and
much exaggeration as to the inten-
ton OF the government officials. All
that they propose to do, as far as can
be ascertained, is to compel great
corporations to respect the law in
the same manner as the humblest It
izen."
In the above paragraph Mr.. Clews
has put the whole situation and ex-
pressed it clearly The administra-
ton is in earnest Mr. Roosevelt
would put all on an equal basis. Any
outcry against the enforcement of
the law is plea for crooked deal
ing.

that attract the people from wide
section of country The fair. in the
olden days. was the greatest event
of the year, and was looked forward
TO with keen anticipation by all peo-
pie in the country of which it was
the center. While in later years the
multiplicity of gatherings and the
more frequent communication of peo-
ple with each other have somewhat
changed tie nature of these fairs, yet
they remain of interest and enjov-
ment to a great many.
In numerous respects the fair
meets a demand that is not otherwise
supplied The fairs in this part of In

any to, be found in the Middle West,
barring the state fairs, and the pros

Harness Sun to Engine.

By using the principle of the com
mon hotbed by which the farmers
grow fresh vegetables in the dead OF
winter, Frank Shuman, engineer and
chemist, of Philadelphia, Pa, thinks
he has solved the old problem Of
converting the heat of the sun into
power at such a low cost that its
commercial use is possible.
He has now running an engine that
gets its power from the sun and it is
so simple that child can operate it
Shuman, who is the inventor of the
concrete file used in all skyscrapers
and the wire glass, says his machine
will revolutionize the motive powe,
Of the world
On the Shuman property in Ta-
cony there is what looks like a big
lrotbed, 1sx16 feet. 1t is simply big
wooden box sunk into the ground
and covered with double top of or
dinary hothouse glass, with one
inch air space between the layers.
Instead of being filled with vege-
tables, however, it is filled with coiled
iron pipesr These pipes, which are
filed with ether, connect with a
small, upright engine hard by.
The circuit is known as CLOSED
one; that is, the ether in the pipes
is convered to vapor in the big box,

thence into condenser, and back
again to the hot box
No fuel is used, the heat of the sun
being relied upon to- convert the
liquid into vapor In the tropics
water could take the place of ether,
Shuman says.
The light rays of the sun in this
latitude can be converted into heat
and they will yield high temperatures.
In the tropics this would run TO per-
haps 500 degrees or higher. The
light rays prnetrat, the double glass
cover and are absorbed and converted
into heat rays by the dark metallic
surfaces of the pipes Tne air space
prevents the heat from escaping, and
whatever is in the pipes will boil.
If there ls water in the pipes it will
be turned into steam and that steam
can be used TO run an engine This
small hot box, if in the tropics, the
inventor says, would yield about thir-
ty horse power.

New York Faces a Meat Famine.

Deliveries of meat from the local
packing houses at New York were
completely halted Friday by the 4OO
wagon drivers who went on strike
Thursday night. The strikers said
that only meat from. the Chicago re-
frigerator trains was being delivered
may be called out. With a stoppage
of deliveries from the meat trains
the city would be quickly affected by
a meay famine. Police reserves were
stationed in the packing house district
on tre West side of the city.
Inside employees of the slaughter
houses were at work Friday while
the heads of the affected plants were
busy preparing to break the strike
which was called without warning by
the drivers. The companies, it was
said. would import strike-breakers If
necessary.
A possibility that the strike may
extend uriil it embraces all branches
of the packing industry was intimat-
ed Friday by Joseph A. Masterson,
head of the butchers craft. Half a
dozen strikers held up delivery
wagon of the New York Butchers
Dressed Beef Company and attempt
ed to drag Superintendent Brown OF
that company and his drivers off the
wagon seat Superintendent Brown,
who formerly was a police captain,
tackled the strikers and put them TO
flight.

Casablanca Again Scene of Carnage.

Casablanca was again attacked by
Moorish tribesmen Wednesday. The
Moors completely enveloped the city
and advanced almost to the French
position in the face of a terrific bonn
bardment from land and sea.
This attack was repulsed, but soon
after a great mass of mounted Moors
charged down the valley coming
within few hundred yards of Gen.
Drude's artillery before they were
checked. This charge was made un-
der cover of heavy fog and it was
only the fortuitous lifting of the fog
which permitted the batteries ashore
and ahoat TO shell the inassed horse
men with deadly effect, that saved
the day for the French. The Moors
had charged up to the French trench
es before they turned back.
| At2 o'clock in the afternoon Gen.
Drude moved forward his field guns
to ridge situated about four miles
from the camp. whence he shelled
the Moors, who were then in flight
eastward
Despite their repulses, the strate-
gic situation is completely in the
hands of the Moors, who concentrate
horsemen behind complete cover and
deliver attacks at unexpected points
The great guns of the warships no
longer frighten the Moors. Their
marksmen creep close to the crowd
ed camp, fire a shot, and then flee.
Their horsemen appear boldly on the
sky line of the hills, draw the fire
of the French artillery, and vanish,
to reappear at another point few
hundred yards away.
The French troops keenly feel
their humiliating position and hope
they will soon nave permission to
advance.
1t is reported that the rebellious
tribes around Casablanca have re-
ceived letters from Mulaiel Hahd, the
sultan's brother, promising his early
arrival among them. He advises them
in the meantime to refrain from at
tacking the Europeans.
The Spanish consul at Mogador,
Morocco, has confirmed by telegraph
the report of the proclamations of
Mulaiel Ha6d as sultan.
AdoIphe Maujan undersecretary of
the interior of France, announced Of
icially Thursday that Gen. Drude
had been ordered to disperse only
those tribesmcn found within six to
ten miles of Casablanca.
Gen. Drude will not go farther
aheld," NJ. Maujan declared, "and
there never has been any question
of marching on Fez or any other
point in the interior. Our warships
will merely patrol the ports where
it is necessary to organize the inter-
national police in fulfillment of the
understanding reached at Algeciras.
France and Spain are in complete
accord"

And He Married.

No higher tribute could be paid to
the irresistible charm of woman than
the surrender OF Jackson Boyd to
matrimony He had supposed him
self invincible He had intrenched
himself in arguments that single life
was more blessed than married life
He had established bachelor quarters
that were beautiful and joy evolving.
He had spent hours arguing with
young men that they would have
more time to study and to accomplish
things in life if they did not marry
And now he succumbs to the god of
love and joins the innumcrable host
of them that are saved from them
selves.
Oh, youth! who may be deluded by
the delusion that bachelors life is
happy one, consider his case and
be wise. He has not yet come to his
finish. There remain before him
many days in which he will kick him
self for not having done it sooner
days when he will reflect on the
lonesome, selfish, desolate years Of
bachelorhood, and think how he
might have been happy all the time
if he had only been furnished with
the intelligence that a bene6cent
Providence bestowed op the anserine
tribes. And he was sure to come to
il at last
For time at length sets all things
even,
And if we do but watch the hour,
There never yet was human power
Which could resist, or want to even,
The rosy checks and flying curls
of pretty Indiana girls.
BE warned, young man, and turn
your thoughts to domestic life Don't
SOW any wild oats. You will have all
you want without cultivation. Don't
wait till you get rich. You will get
rich faster if you are married and
have some occasion to save your
money You will miss some hilarity.

Moors Get Fresh Aid.

The arrival Wednesday just outside
the town of Casablanca OF three new
columns of warning tribesmen, who
have joined the army of the fanatics
beseiging Casablanca, has rendered
more serious the problem undertaken
by France and Spain to restore order.
| The new arrivals constitute an i'm
posing opposition to the French
| force, now wearied with their vigil
The soldiers are convinced that their
present defensive strength is made
quate. General Drude has had con-
| ference with Vice Admiral Philibert,
who telegraphed to Paris the belief
of the general that re-enforcements
are absolutely necessary for the pro-
lection of the town.
Whenever the men on board the
cruiser Glorie sight groups of Arabs
they open on ther with shell fire,
and during all Tue day night there
was a constant rattle OF rifle fire from
the French sharpshooters directed
against Arabs who were trying TO
steal in toward the town under cover
of darkness.
| A sensational incident occurred
during the celebration of MONDAY
prayers at the grand mosque of Dji-
did at Fez Tuesday A soldier sud-
denly shouted: MAY Allah render
our master, Mouley Mohammed, vic
torious."
Mohammed is the sultan's brother,
and as the public proclamation of
new sultan in a mosque while the
sultan is living is traditionally the
signal of a revolution, the faithful
who were at prayers fed in fright in
to the streets creating general pan
ic In a short time all the shops
were closed and the Jews barricaded
themselves in their residences.
The troops on duty at the mosque
seized the soldier who created the
disturbance 1t developed that he was
a converted Jew and was beaten un-
mercifully and was taken, covered
with blood, to prison, where he will
probably be beheaded. Later calm
was restored in the city.
Letters received from Morocco
City confirm the report of the procla-
nation of Mulai Hahg, the sultan's
brother, as Sultan of Morocco, and
add that it has caused grea. excite
ment. Two powerful southern caids,
Goundaf and Glaoui, are marching to
his support
The suitan's troops are reported to
have agin defeated a great force of
the Knass tribesmen, in whose terri
tory Caid. Sir Harry Mclean has
been held captive. Six hundred of
the Moors were killed and several OF
their villages were burned
The French government has sent
instructions to Oran, Algeria, to dis
patch 1000 men to re-enforce the
present force at Casablanca. This ac-
| tion was decided upon at conference
held Wednesday between Foreign
Minister Pichon, War Minister Pic
quart and Marine Minister Thomson.
1t was agreed that the presence of
more troops was imperative in order
to oain uuorectioned r,aeterv over
the tribesmen. 1t is officially explain
| ed. however, that the men to be sent
from Oran are merely to fill out the
regiments already at Casablanca.

Governor Hanly Issues His Procla-

his Labor day proclamation setting
Monday September 2, as the day set

against an advance from 25 to 30
cents in minimum charges on small

Wire Companies Scoff at Peace.

Officials of the telegraph compan-
les came out Monday with state
ment to the effect that any settlement
of the big wire strike is out of the
question. The companies charged
that the election of a peace" COM
mittee by the strikers was a move TO
check threatened stampede of the
men to return to work.
Supt. L. p. Cook of the Western
Union declared that the strike lead
ers were deceiving the operators.
Hundreds of telegraphers, he said,
are ready to apply for their old po-
sitions, but are being restrained by
the action of the union officials, who
are handing out false reports of con-
ditions to the rank and file.
Il am positive there will be no
meeting between the telegraph COM
pany representatives and a committee
of strikers said Mr. Cook. "The
only way the men can return to work
is by making individual applications.
The company will take back such OPP
orators as it sees fit. The peace agi-
tation is nothing more than talk of
imaginative strike leaders"
Mr. Cook asserted that the West
ern Union force of operators is now
stronger than at any time since the
strike was called. He said thirty new
men were put at work during the
day Mondsy.
Althor gh .he union leaders talked
of peace, they did not relax their eff
forts in combating the telegraph
companies. 1t was reported that the
operators in Canada were on the
point of striking, and Secretary Wes-
ley Russell said the word to walk out
might be given the men at any hour.
The Canadian telegraphers, it was
said, had wired for permission to
strike several times. According to
Mr.. Russell, they objected to operat-
ing wires from Canadian points to
American offices where nonunion tel
cgraphers were sitting at the keys.
'The Canadian situation is ex-
tremely delicate" he said. "If the
operators should go out there, it
would affect chiefly such point as St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Buff
falo."
The possibility of the electric line
men being drawn into the strike also
developed. The union officials said
they were in communication with re-
presentatives of the International
Brotherhood Of Electric Workers,
who had offered the support of that
organization if needed.
A strike of the linemen and electri-
cal repairers, it was asserted, would
prove blow to the telegraph com
panies, as it would leave the wires
