ROSE SHOW CONCLUDED
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF
THE PRIZES AWARDED.
Addresses Made Last Night at w. L
I. Hal1-Big Convention Sched-
uled for Washington.

The floral exhibit by the American Rose
Society and the Florist Club Of Washing
ton, which opened Wednesday evening at
the Washington Light Infantry Armory,
closed last night. The prizes were pre-
scented to the successful winners by Presi-
dent Robert Simpson Of the American Rose
Society.
President Simpson said: 1--WE have been
disappointed with our exhibition here. 1t
has not been up to our standard. Our last
one, in Boston, I am happy to say, was the
finest display of roses ever exhibited In this
country, and many say in the world
In speaking of the scarcity Of American
Beauties at the present display, Mr.. Simp-
son said further: ''The American Beauty
has been the feature of our previous ex-
hbitions. Last year in Boston we had
about 5000 different specimens. This
years dearth is the result of too little sun
light, and never has the American Beauty
been as rare as it is at present. II Is SIM
ply impossible to buy any number IN either
the New York, Philadelphia or Chicago
markets"
OF the next exhibit, which is to take
place in Chicago, Mr.. Simpson is very
hopeful II think it will surpass even the
one we had in Boston," was his predic-
ton.
made an address. He said in regard to the
selling of the Queen Beatrice rose, OF
which he was the propagation and Fred H.
Kramer the purchaser, the price paid was
really $780, but that Mr.. Kramer valued the
rose at $4,000.
The thousands of flowers, including
American Beauties, Richmond roses and
various other kinds, many of which We're
prize winners, were distributed among the
different hospitals of the city today.
American Carnation Society.
At the last annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society in Toronto in jan
uary it was voted to meet in January of
next year in this city and this action was
due largely to the efforts of the flower low
ers of Washington. The meeting will bring
to Washington one of the most magnid-
cent of displays of carnations and other
rare varieties of blooms. The society en-
braces the whole country and the exhibit
will be both extensive and rare.
officers of the American Rose Society
expressed themselves as very we'll satisfied
with the result of the annual exhibit here,
despite the fact that the display of roses
had not been as large as hoped for. The
society Is only twelve years old and already,
it is said, has stimulated to a marked de-
gree in all parts of the country the propa-
CATION of roses and other flowers and the
origin of new varieties of American bloom
ers. Its work has also, it is said, given
inspiration to many who aspire and work
to beautfy the home and it's environs and
the present extent of landscape and gar
den identifying is in a good measure due
to the efforts of the American horticultu-

REVERSED JUDGE PRITCHARD.
Supreme Court of South Carolina
Holds a Railroad Company to be
Domestic Corporation.

Columbia, S. G., Aug. 2.-Justice
Ernst Gary of the state supreme court
Thursday delivered an opinion in the
suit of W. G.. Geraty against the AL
lantic Coast line railroad company
which is of more than ordinary inter-
est, for it is in direct opposition to
a recent opinion handed down in the
federal court by Judge j. G. Pritchard
in a similar case
The defendant company made mo-
tion before Judge Gary to set aside
the service of summons in this case
on the ground that the defendant is
lot corporation organized under the
laws of South Carolina, as alleged in
the complaint.
Judge Gary dismissed the motion,
holding that this railroad company is
a South Carolina corporation. If it
is not a domestic corporation, then he
holds 1.-The operation of its railroads
in this state is unlawful" He holds
that the Atlantic Coast line was form
cd by merger subsequent to the enact
ment of the constitution of 1906.

RADICAL REFORMS NOW
Territorial Government of New Mex
leo to Be Purged Of Wickedness.
President Roosevelt Sent to Philip
Pines for Man to Do it and Per
sonaIly Told Him How.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. Radical
reforms in the territorial government
of New Mexico are to be inaugurated
upon the arrival in Santa Fee of Gov
ernor George Curry, who has just re-
turned from the Philippines to assume
that office. President Roosevelt con-
ferred with Governor Curry for two
hours Wednesday and sent him on his
way thoroughly imbued with the
necessity of ruling with an iron hand
until the alleged tangle of intrigue
and graft in New Mexico had been
Strengthened out.
"Clean government is what the
President wants" said Governor Cur
ry on leaving Oyster Bay, " and that
is what / shall do my best to estab-
lish."
Conferences ON the situation in the
territories was continued at Saga
more Hill after the departure of Gov
ernor Curry, as Chief Justice Kent, of
Arizona and Federal Judge B. S.
Rodey, of Porto Rico, formerly dele
gate in Congress from New Mexico,
were luncheon guests of the presi-
dent.
Judge Rodey told the president that
the tax valuation in New Mexico has
been outrageously iuggled by the rail-
road and mining interests. He claims
that the value of one mine Is equal to
the tax assessment for the whole ter
ritory and that the actual valuation
of the railroads in the territory more
than double the entire tax valuation of
all property.
Judge Kent, whose friendship with
the president dates back to their col
lege days, said his visit was entirely
of a social character.

ROAD AN OUTLAW
Alabama Secretary of State Has

rotary of State Frank N. Julian that

Southern is alleged to be in violation
had removed a case from the state
circuit court of Talladega county to
the United States circuit court at
Birmingham. This action of the
Southern is alleged to bein violation
of the two outlaw acts passed by
the state legislature last winter, each
of which provided that such removal
should be punishable by revocation
of the charter of the offending rail-
road One of these laws, the better
known, was declared unconstitutional
by United States Judge Thomas G.
Jones, but the other has never been
enjoined by the federal courts. For
this reason the action of the state
official was taken under the provis-
ions of the second of these OUTLAW
acts. The. state insists that this sec
ond outlaw act is still in force and it
is entirely proper to act under its
provisions, while the adherents Of
the railway contend the act Of revo-
cation is in contempt of the federal
court injunction, at least in spirit.
Neither side. would make an authors
tative statement of the probable
course to be pursued in the contro-
Versy.

"a knife is such an unexpected in
strument You never know just where
it is going to strike. You can't keep

for fear it might slip and cut the
mouth half in two, and you are afraid
if you don't look it might happen and
you won't get to see it."

BENSON TO SUPREME COURT.
Former Kansas Senator rendered APP
pontment to Succeed Judge Greene
by Gov. Hoch.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. Gov. q. w.
Hoch Thursday telegraphed to For
mer United States Senator Alfred w.
Benson, who is at present in Washing
ton, D. c., offering him the vacancy
on the state supreme bench caused
by the death of Justice Adrian L..
Greene. Senator Benson Immediately
replied, stating that he would accept.
The action of Gov. Hoch in tender
ing the position to Judge Benson Is
not a surprise. 1t has been talked
ever since the passing of Justice
Greene that Judge Benson was the
person whom he held highest in favor
in relation to the position.
Gov. Hoch said once before that
he wished to do something for Judge
Benson in the way of bench appoint
ment, that he considered him eminent
ly qualified in every way for such a
place. Then when the death of Judge
Greene became known, the governor
was quick to make up his mind that
Benson should have the place. There
were a number of applicants and al
though they came in reasonable time
after the vacancy was created by
death, none of them appealed to the
executive so strongly as to induce
him to give up his earlier determine
ton to name Judge Benson. He is
eminently qualified for the bench and
his friends say that for years he has
had an ambition to be member of
the supreme court. Judge Benson
lives in Ottawa.
