sS' WORRYING OVER KNOX.
Senator's Growing Strength Causes
Disquetude In ohio.

Washington, June 11.--It became evi-
dent here that the managers of the
Taft boom are considerably worried on
account of the Endorsement of Senator
Knox by the Republican convention at
Harrisburg. At first Ohioans regard
ed the proposition to indorse Knox as
joke. They could not see anything
in it more than there was in the in
dorsement of Quay in 1896.
Arthur Vorys, Taft's manager,
came here burdened with the idea that
the Knox business was but a fayorite
son scheme to hold the vote of Penn
sylvania in line for somebody else.
His mind was disabused on that
point long before he went to New
York yesterday.
The one significant thing he found
was that Washington has made an
estimate of the two candidates and has
come to a conclusion on that matter.
That conclusion is that as the game
now lies Knox has decidedly the bet
ter of the fight
Another conclusion is that Knox, de-
spite the presidential approval of
Taft. has as good chance when the
convention assemblies as has the Sec
retary of war. Still another conclus.
ion is that owing to mistakes that
have been made in handling the Taft
candidacy in his own state the i'm.
mense advantage which the secretary
once had by reason of the presidential
approval cannot be regained even II
The Taft managers pacify the Ohio
senators and give Senator Dick a
share in the management of the Taft
candidacy.
Vorys talked with number of peo-
pie and upon everyone of them he left
the impression that he has lost the
idea which he brought here with him
that Knox will not be a serious factor
in the ante-convention fight.
1t is assumed that Vorys got his no
tion that Knox will be more than
a perfunctory favorite son from the
White House. There is no question
but that the president has assured
himself that the result of the exclus-
ion of the Ohio senators from man
agement of the Taft boom is bad and
that to overcome the bad effect there
must be an enormous hustle in other
states.

Loose Method of Doing Business.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 10.-The loose
methods of doing business by the
state fiscal officers during the construc-
tion and furnishing of the new Capt.
tol were revealed at the hearing by
the investigating committee. The tes'
timony of attaches of the auditor gen.
eral and state treasury departments
showed that bills amounting to $685.
600 were not approved by the superin-
tehdent of grounds and buildings until
two years after they were paid. 1t
was also shown that there was no
check upon the articles or bills; that
in one instance nearly 100000 worth
of metallic furniture was paid for un-
der a schedule entirely different from
that upon which the contract was
made, and that there was no pretense
of auditing any of the bills.

Orchard confessed that as member
of the mob which wrecked the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mill in the Couer
d'Alenes he lighted one of the fuses
that carried fire to the giant powder
explosion: confessed that he set the
death trap in the Vindicator mine at
Cripple Creek which killed Superin-

not been paid for his first attempt at
violence in the Vindicator mine he
was treacherous 10 his associates in
warning the managers of the Flor

there was plot to blow up their
trains confessed that he cruelty fired
three charges of buckshot into the
body of Detective Gregory of Denver,

of Colorado about Denver for a chance
to kill him: confessed that he and
Steve Adams set and discharged the

and confessed that, failing in an at.
tempt to poison Fred Bradley of San
Francisco he blew him and his house
up with bomb of gelatine powder.
His story of brutal crimes brought
his bloody career down to Caldwell,
Dec. so, 1905, where with great bomb
he killed Governor Steunenberg. The
story was told before an anxious
rigid crowd, which staringly watched
every movement and word of the
witness, crowd that sickened and
grew weary of the fearful details long
before James H. Hawley, pleading i'll.

He swore that the assassination of
Steunenberg was first suggested by
Haywood, was plotted by Haywood,

increased from 20 to 80 per cent,
according to butchers and grocers.
The packers have raised prices
on the ground that the supply is short.
The wholesalers have put on another

increase of their own so that when
the consumer pays the 10 per cent in
crease of the packers the price has in
creased about 80 per cent.
The following is the increase in the
retail price of meats in the last two
months. Fancy bacon, from 20 to 26

AN ISSUE IN JAPAN,
San Francisco Trouble Popular
Platform For Progressives.
American Japanese Say Sudden En-
forcement Of Law Seeregating Jap
anese School Children Followed
Mayors Visit to German Emperor.
Hawaiian Sugar Interests Blamed.

Toxic, June II. - deputation OF
japanese from the United States ap.
| peared today before meeting of the
council of the Progressive party and
presented a statement in substance
as follows:
THE settlement of the San Francis
co trouble cannot be considered as
final and a recurrence of the difficulty
may be expected at any time. 1t Is
absolutely necessary to place the Jap
anese in a position to receive exactly
the same treatment as is accorded
Europeans. The law segregating Jap
anese school children was passed three
years ago. but the authorities hesitat-
ed to carry out its provisions. It's
sudden enforcement last year occurred
soon after the return of Mayor Schmitz
from Germany where he had an audi
ence with Emperor William. Conse-
quently some are inclined to attribute
the mayors anti-Japanese attitude to
the influence of the kaiser.
Another report is to the effect that
the Hawaiian sugar interests have
paid the anti-Japanese and anti-Corean
organization in San Francisco $4,000
900 for preventing japanese from 60
ing to California"
The Hochi prints a report from
Washington stating that the Japanese
in America are allied with the Pro-
gressive party here in an attempt to
overthrow the cabinet on account OF
the American question, but little cred
ence is placed in this assertion. 1t is
true. however, that the Progressive
party is the only political organization
which has publicly taken up the ques-
ton. While avoiding expressions OF
marked sympathy with the alleged vic
tins of the anti-Japanese sentiment,
there is no doubt that the PrOgressives
will use the San Francisco troubles
as weapon with which to attack the
government, should the ministers fail
to effect a speedy and satisfactory set
tlement.
The United States question is likely
to afford the most popular platform
for the Progressives and other opposi-
ton parties that are preparing for the
general election next spring.

The Life Line on the Foot.

Starting from the base of the big toe
there is Il distinct line. That is the life
line. In one foot it will curve along
until it terminates under the instep far
toward the lower base of the little toe.
This means long life. If broken in the
hollow of the foot it denotes sickness
at middle age, and if it terminates in
the hollow of the foot it means short
life. This line is the most interesting
one on the foot. The experiments that
have been conducted have proved this
to be an almost unfailing reading of
longevity

4 physician points out that several
fallacies are common with regard to
the weight of the human body. The
man who cOngratulates himself on his
gain of several pounds in weight in a
given period may have no cause for
rejoicing, for he may he under Il delu-
sion Very few persons, says the in
vestigator, have any correct idea of
their own weight. As a matter of fact,
the weight of the body is continually
changing owing to innumerable mfu-
ences. On Il warm day after break
fast man will lose more than third
of pound per hour. Seventy per cent
of the body contains water, and its
weight varies constantly. The infer
ence to be drawn from the loss or gain
of Il pound or two may be mistrusted.
Fluctuations of few ounces are a
sign that the body is in a healthy
state.-Nlilwaukee Citizen.
