small turbine gas engine which, it is
said, will revolutionize motive power

builder, of Tottenville, N. Y, is now
in correspondence with Burger rela-
tive TO hrs patent, and Mr. Nixon is
of the opinion that all warships will
be propelled by gas 1t is said that
with Burgers invention warships can
attain a speed Of sixty knots an hour
Another thing in its favor is its very
small size, doing away with the waste
of room required in the present sys-
tenn Of boilers and reservoirs.
The attention of shipbuilders all
over the world has been aroused b.
Mr.. Burgers invention, but SO far
Mr. Burger has confined his cores
pondence TO Mr.. Nixon, and it is said
that Mr. Nixon is going to use the
device nm the new ships he is prepar-

Urges Fake Christmas Tree.

Commissioner James S. Whipple of
the state forest, fish and game COM
mission, in statement issued Thurs
dav, explains why he believes young
evergreen trees ought not to be cut
fer Christmas trees. but that artificial
trees be used instead
TO destroy millions of these trees
every year when we are in such need
of more timber in this country, es-
pecially of the soft variety, seems
very wasteful," Mr.. Whipple says.
ITO keep pace with the cutting many
hundred million trees should be plant
ed every year These Christmas trees
are of the species that should be
planted, and to destroy millions of
them every year is wanton waste.
They are worth much more stand
ing than when cut and used as
Christmas trees. The suggestion that
artificial trees could be made is war
ranted because it would furnish a
large business and result in the en-
ployment of labor and capital"

Japan to Welcome Fleet.

Viscount Hayashi foreign minister
of Japan, in formal statement
Thursday said Japan will welcome
the American fleet of battleships to
the Pacific and to Japanese ports if
the voyage is extended to Japan He
said Japan has absolute confidence
that no Interior motive is behind the
action in sending the feet, and this
view is shared by leading army and
navy officers, among them Admiral
Togo.
Japan will heartily welcome the
American feet to the ports of this
country if it be decided to extend
the trip in this direction said Hay
ashi "The fact that the fleet is sail
ing toward the Pacific creates no ex-
element here. Japan views in the
friendliest manner any action Ameri-
ca may, within the scope of wisdom,
see fit to take in the disposition of
its naval force, because Japanese peo-
pie have absolute confidence in the
friendly attitude of the statesmen and
great mass of the people. We hope
that the fleet may have a successful
and safe voyage"
Il am glad that the fleet has started
for the Pacific" said Admiral Togo.
IF it should ultimately touch on our
shores we will greet the crews as
friends and give them the warmest e
ception. We entertain nothing but
the kindliest feelings toward Ameri-
can sailors"
THE American fleet will be hear
tly Welcomed should it visit JAPAN"
said Admiral Saito, minister of the
navy. Il know Admiral Evans we'll.
He is delightful gentleman, and q
splendid sailor, and ! certainly hope
that he will bring his ships on this
side and give us a chance to show
our appreciation OF his good quail
ties"
America has always been a HELP
full friend to Japan" said Prince Ito,
resident general of Corea, "and the
Japanese are stanch admirers of Pres
ident Roosevelt | have always main
tanned that talk of war between Japan
and America is unspeakable and un-
pie towards the fleet will prove the
sincerity of our words, which have
been consistently friendly"
Count Okuma, the leader of the
progressive party OF Japan sail:
The coming of an American fleet
will tend to forward the civilization
of the world and increase the friendli-
ness of the two nations"

r. B. Oglesbee Closes Banks.

Three private banks-the Bank OF
Fowler, Fowler. Ind; Citizens 3ank,
Amhia, Ind, and Goodland Bank,
Go&dland, Ind, were closed Saturday
morning by examiners from the
Office of Auditor of State Billheimer
The auditor and r. B. Oglesbee OF
Laporte, head of the banking de-
partment of the auditors Office, were
in the office until midnight, before
the examiners were given the orders
to close the three private banks Sat
urday morning.
In the statement issued by Oeles-
bee just before the examiners left In
dianapolis early Saturday morn
ing, he said the reasons for closing
the banks were that they were in an
insolvent condition, and that the as
sets are being wasted and improperly
used.
The three banks" said Oglesbee
ARE owned by Daniel p Baldwin OF
Logansport and William H. Dague
of Fowler, as partners. They have
invested the capital, large portion
of the deposits and considerable mon
ey borrowed by the banks in Arkan-
sas lands of speculative value, and
which can not be readily converted
into cash to pay the depositors
Oglesbee added to this statement
that the failure of these three institu-
tons would not in any way affect
any other banks in their own or
other cities He also said the finan-
cial condition of the country had
nothing to do witt the failures.
"As to the relations of these three
banks with other banks of the state y
he said. 1.-THE amount due other banks
is SO small that it will not embar-
rass any other institution"
He and Auditor Billheimer would
give no figures asS to the assets or
Indebtedness of the three defunct
banks. Examiner ]. W. Levings ex-
amined the books of the Fowler bank
and the Citizens bank at Ambia, and
the Goodland bank was examined by
E. M. Hinshaw. Saturday morning
Levings went to Fowler, c. c. Kelley
to Ambia, and Hinshaw to Goodland.

The Indiana appellate court has af-
frmed Judge Richter of the Laporte
circuit court in one of the most i'm
portant cases affecting railroads that
has come before it in many years.
By their decision the appellate judges

letter can be enforced and that the
county commissioners of any county
have the right to order the placing
of flagman or switchman at any
highway crossing in the county out
