The Responsibility Placed

In speaking of the alleged failure of
the Vermont commission TO use the
$4,000 appropriated by the state to
the best advantage the St. Adams
Messenger calls attention to the fact
that four OF the seven members OF the
commission have had little or nothing
to do with Il. The Messenger says:
Thus the simple fact that the work
that was laid out for seven men to do
has In reality fallen upon the should.
crs OF three. that Is TO say. upon Lieut..
Gov George n. Prouty. Edward NJ.
Goddard aud Charles S. Forbes That
they have been. at least diligent and
have devoted a great deal OF time and
labor To this AFFAIR at incalculable per.
sonal inconvenience Is not likely 20 be
denied by anyone that knows the facts
or will take the trouble toinquire about
them. II should be borne In mind that
the members OF the commission serve
without pay and anyone who has had
experience In similar appointments
knows that not only Is a deal OF graf
uitous labor at the sacrifice OF much OF
ones own business interests and leis.
ure required. but that the incumbent
cannot even expect to be- made whole
In the matter Of personal expense.
This Is undoubtedly true aud We do
not and have heard no one question
their diligence and honesty. Theirs
has been a thanklcss job from the
start At the same time three Is

.cial) -Representatiyes of the whisky
interest from twelve states III session
here yesterday, organized "The Model
License League and will prosecute
a vigorous campaign for legislation
to remedy the present evils of the
business. The association adopted a
constitution, the substance of which
is that the solution of this great
problem is in wise legislation, look,
ing not to the prohibition, but to the
proper regulation of the traffic: by
earning the goodwill and aid OF
those engaged therein; in the en-
forcement of the law-by rewarding
them their rendition of such assist
ance: removing them from necessary
participation in politics, and remov-
ing from them the constant fear that
at any moment their business may be
destroyed and the accumulation of
long years may be dssipated.
The league will seek to secure uni
form license laws in all of the states
and cities; to have high license pre-
vail; certain restrictions as to loca-
tions, and TO the number of saloons
in a city, according to the popula-
ton.

ROYAL CLOSETS

Berlin, Oct. 25.-The hearing of
the case of Count Kuno Won Moltke,
former military governor Of Berlin,
against Macmillan Harden, editor OF
Die Zu Kunft. for defamation Of char
acter, is growing more exciting every
day.
In todays proceedings. Dr. Won
Gordon. counsel for the plaintiff, de-
clared that he would eventually ask
for the testimony of Emepror William
to prove that Count Won Moltke has
never used his Office to promote po-
Mtical ends. Herr Bernstein, eOun-
sci for Harden, agreed to his pro-
lposal.
Harden proposes to call the head
of the police department 20 testify as
to what he knows regarding Prince
Philip Zeulenberg, formerly German
Ambassador TO Vienna, and Lieuten-
ant General Count william Won
Honehau, one of the emperor's ad-
jutants.
The bench has decided 10 admit the
testimony to prove that the alleged
unnatural practices prevailed among
the friends of Won Moltke.
The public will be excluded from
the hearings but representatives OF
the press will be allowed to remain.
An army officer who had served in
the Guard Du Corps at Potsdam, was
called as a witness TODAY and test
fed having taken part in unnatural
orgies at the house of Count Lynar,
which had resulted in the dismissal
from the service in disgrace of the
count and Lieutenant General Won
Honehau.

Former Secretary Still Has
Confidence in the Paducah
Basket Plant Says Failure of
Grape Crop Caused Loss of
Business For This Year

New York, Oct. 25.-(Special.)-
The Sun today prints the following
concerning the Mergenthaler-H Horton
Basket Machine company, which sold
nearly $1.500.00O worth of stock
throughout the country and has gone
TO smash. The latest Office of the
company i'm Jersey City has been
stripped clean of books and papers.
Edward p. Parkhurst, president, of
New Haven, has been unable TO get
any trace of Charles II. Barlow, treas
urer of the company. According to
the original promises, the Mergen-
thaler-Horton machine was going TO
make a standard fruit basket which
would revolutionze the basket indus
try in a short time.
Sidney Whltlock, former secre-
tary, said: There must have been
a great deal more than a million dol
lars taken in from the sale of stock.
Our Paducah plant alone cost $780,
600 and we spent 100000 advertis.
ing. A lot more was spent buying
other basket machine patents. The
experimental work also was costly.
After We manufactured a lot of ma
chimes We found flaw in them. which
made us a loss. The machines were
exhibited in various cities, where we
had branch Offices, and this took
money. Parties of prospective stock
holders were taken to Paducah from
New York and this also was expen-
sive
81 think the company would have
been able to run II there had been
any grape and peach crop this year.
! 1t depended on grapes for summer
business and on peaches for winter
orders. Both crops failed and orders
for baskets fell OFF,
Whitlock said he still thought the
basket business could be made to pay,
and thinks the plant down at Padu-
cab should not be allowed to stand
idle. Meanwhile the present market
price OF the lucent stock is three
cents share with no takers.
