New York Leads Strike.

Between 800 and 400 members of
the New York locals of the telegraph
ers' union walked out of the Offices
of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies Monday after
noon without the knowledge or sane
ton of the officers of either the local
or of the national organization.
The stampede was started by radi-
Gals among the union men who did
not care to abide by the ord~r of
their organization, passed at a meet
ing of the local on Sunday, forbid
ding strike until the result of the
pending mediation in Chicago on Fri
day should be known.
An hour and half after the strike
the president of the New York local
announced that the walkout was
sanctioned by the local officers, and
later a telegram of approval came
from Wesley Russell, national secre-
tary of the union, now in Chicago.
The strike fever attacked the New
York telegraphers in the same char
acteristic manner that it has the
number of telegraphers in western
cities that have been going out on
strike since Friday last
In the morning the telegraphers
sat at their keys without any precon-
ceived intent to strike; at noon they
were bitten with the strike mania,
within an hour they answered the
whistle and walked out of their Off
ces. The whistle in each case wa;
blown by one of their organization
number, who had not been in consul
tation with any heads of the local or
ganization.
Belvidere Brooks, general superin-
tendent of the eastern division OF the
Western Union, who said that he
had been preparing for strike for
the last three months, declared he
had the places of the strikers filled
before six o'clock Monday and ex-
poets business to be conducted in a
normal fashion.
The Postal company was taken by
surprise and more seriously crippled
Monday night that company had
drawn operators from most of its up
town branch offices and was getting
away with business fairly we'll Both
companies say that within twenty
four hours they will have all the de-
|.serted keys filled.

Close Call for a Princess.

A special to the Lokal Anziger
from Cassel, Germany, where Empe-
ron William is staying, and where he
will meet the king of Siam, says that
Princess Victoria Louise, the empe-
ror's daughter, barely escaped serious
injury while walking in Wilhelm
shohe park. A large tree fell across
the path in which the princess was
walking with the children of the duke
Of Wurtemberg.
The emperor, who was on the ten
MS ground in the vicinity, heard the
crash and hurried to the scene. He
found the children greatly frightened
but unhurt. Soldiers were immedi-
ately set to work clearing away the
fallen tree, a task which the emperor
himself superintendent

First Forest and Game Preserve.

Long before the white man set foot
on the shores of North America, the
native inhabitants understood the val
lie of the wild game and the necessity
of setting apart reservations for it's
protection. Indeed, in this respect,
they were far superior to the whites,
who. in everything relating to the
game and the forests, were essential
Nv savage and destructive. The Six
Nations, whose sway extended over a
wide scope of country, were the
prime movers in setting apart the first
national park and game preserve ever
seen in America. The section Sc
lected for the purpose was so wisely
chosen as to reflect great credit upon
their foresight and craftsmanship. 1t
was the blue grass region extending
from the Ohio river to the valleys OF
the Cumberland and Tennessee. By a
treaty between the Iroquois or the
north, the Cherokees on the south.
and the Chickasaws on the west, this
beautiful region was declared to be
neutral grounds" to be used only for
the purposes of peace All permanent
settlement or agriculture was forbid
den. though all tribes of Indians were
allowed to visit the section in proper
seasons for hunting and fishing.
There was a perpetual truce be-
tween the tribes when they met in
this neutral territory. No matter how
hostile at home, even though engaged
in war with each other, all hostilities
ceased when they came together be-
tween the Ohio and Tennessee. No
tribe was allowed to- dwell there per-
manently and the troubles between
the white men and Indians, of which
we read in history, were due to col
| lisions between the incoming pioneers
and the Indian hunting parties. Be-
| fore the white man came, the arrow
| was sped only when aimed at the
game and fowl of the wilderness, and
| the tonahawk CLEANED only in the
contests of skill. Stone monuments
wer put mp to mark the boundaries
of this first park and some of these
are still found standing. The blue
grass region OF Kentucky was from
the beginning natural park, differ
ing essentially from the heavy for
ests north of the Ohio. There was
little underbrush. but a vast green
sward interspersed with stately forest
trees No park commissioner was
necessary. No roads were needed, as
one might travel for miles over a
spongy and velvety bed surprising
the finest carpet. Over this the fal-
low deer grazed in countless thous-
ands and grew fat on the nutritious
| blue grass. The 1ordly buffalo, which
as yet had not been driven across the
Mississippi, laved his sides in the
! limpid streams, and rOlfed Ill JOY over
the soft and yielding sward.
The Indians had strict game laws.
| Nothing was allowed to be killed out
of season. Game was pursued for
food, not sport, and nothing was wan
tonly destroyed. Wiser than the
white man, they left the forests to
protect the streams and modify the
climate. Wiser than the white man.
they protected the game for future
use and were careful that no animal
of value should be pursued to exter-
mination. 2 last we are learning
and are beginning to know what the
Indians did centuries ago

Alton Will Not Be Prosecuted.

The Chicago and Alton company
will not be prosecuted by the gov
eminent for granting rebates to the
Standard Oil company. Judge Lands
himself will make an announcement
to this effect
This decision is tire result OF con-
sideration given the matter by the
president and Acknowledgement Bona
parte and follows the discovery of an
explicit promise of immunity given
to the road by Mr.. Moody, now an
associate justice of the United States
Supreme court, when he was attor-
ney general The attention of Mr..
Bonaparte was called to this promise
last week, not by the Chicago and
Alton but by an official of the gov
eminent who has had to do with the
preparation of the case against the
oil trust. He stated that without the
assistance of the Chicago and Alton
it would have been impossible for the
government to prosecute the Stand
ard Oil upon a large number OF
counts which were contained in in
dictments found in Chicago, New
York and Tennessee.
1t was possible, of course, for the
department of justice TO have COM
PEELED the Chicago and Alton TO open
its books and papers in accordance
with the decision rendered in the to-
bacco and paper trust cases. But
such proceedings necessarily would
have placed the railroad on lis guard
and prevented the government from
getting information as abundantly as
it did as a result of the voluntary ac-
ton of the road.
Upon receipt of the communication
the attorney general laid it befort the
president and the latter directed him
to carry out the promise made by
Mr.. Moody. Upon his arrival in
Washington. the attorney general
communicated with Judge Lands and
explained how the government was
unable TO carry out the instructions
he had given to the president in the
case of the Chicago and Alton to- a
special grand jury Under the direc-
ton of Judge Lands, an order for a
panel of sixty men was made return
able at 10 O'Clock on Wednesday
next. The court, therefore, will have
an opportunity to cancel the order
before it is put into effect.
The department of justice declines
to say whether other roads which
have granted rebates to the Standard
will escape prosecution on the same
ground as the Chicago and Alton
Proceedings against the Pennsylvania
have been begun in New York. There
is reason to believe, however, that
the government feels kindly toward
all the railroads save the New York
Central, which alone refused to give
any information to the bureau of cor
porations when it was making its in
Sestigations into operations OF the
Standard.
In the case of the New York Gen.
trail the government was able TO OBJ
tain positive evidence or only one
count, and $4,000 was the amount OF
the fine imposed upon that road. Ut
is understood various district attor-
neys will refrain from submitting to
the grand juries any proposal to IN
dict railroads, limiting their activity
to prosecution of the oil trust

May Eclipse Giant Warship.

Naval circles are agitated over the
report that the British admiralty is
about to lay down the keel for a gi-
ant battleship of 10000 tons. to be
armed with eighteen 12 inch guns.
1t is understood that the new ship
will not only be of no less than 3d.
600 tons displacement against the 2o,-
900 tons of the Dreadnought, but
aside from the mere matter of SUI
perior size the design is believed to
include many novelties, some based
on the experience of the Dread
nought
Such one. for instance, is under
stood to be the contemplated assem-
bling of three guns in each turret,
so that, if the new ship is equipped
with six turrets, 1t will carry no less
than eighteen guns in its main bat
terry. The caliber of the guns, how
ever, will. it is believed, remain at
IL inches, the present standard
The report of the British plan has
caused some of the holder spirits
among the American ship designers
to proceed to greater length and to
propose the laying down of battle
ship of 10000 tons displacement,
placing the American navy clearly in
the lead Naval designers are believ-
ed to be willing to undertake the
construction of such ship. 1t would
cost no less than 100000, 900 but in
view of the predominance it would
give to America as a naval power, il
is argued by the advocates of the
proposition that such ship would
be an economical investment by tend
ing to insure peace.

Metsker in his Independable Friday
evening says that the grand jury that
indicted him few months ago was
imposed upon by Mr.. Hendricks and
the prosecuting attorney. The only
imposition that was attempted upon
this grand jury was done by Metsker
a short time before they unanimously
voted to indict him. 1t is understood
that the little editor appeared before
that body and undertook to plead
his case" when the foreman politely
told the gentleman CD that thieves
and criminals were not wanted in the
grand jury room and requested him
to leave the room Metsker took his
hat and left and soon after the jury
voted two true bills against him.

ANANIAS BREAKS LOOSE.

After being somewhat of peace
able citizen for few weeks, Aanani-
as Boys breaks loose in defense OF
1.-The Senator" He devotes a few
lines of space in trying TO- show that
Parks earned the money, but let's
see who aired Mr.. Parks and what
right he has to a ''just and true
claim against the county. On page
434 Commissioner record Q we find
the following order:
$50
And the board do further appoint
Harley A Logan Cor in case of the
inability of said Logan to. attend the
session of said State Board, then
John W. Parks shall be his alternately
and William T. Leonard as the rep
resentatives of the Board of County
Commissioners to attend the session
of the Board of State Tax Commits
sioners on Tuesday, July %, 1907, at
9 o'clock a. m and to take all steps
necessary and requisite to be done
in the premises.
Joel Anglin,
w L. Yantiss.
The above order plainly shows that
Mr. Parks should not go unless it be
impossible for Mr. Logan to go, but
The Senator" always highly inAat-
ed and ready to- do something for the
people of Marshall county (when the
price is in sight) called Mr.. Anglin
on telephone and begged the lob"
of going along with Mr.. Logan to
indianapolis and Mr.. Anglin told
him it might be all right for him to
go along; but Mr.. Anglin, when rot
IN session on the board has no au-
thority TO contract for anything,
hence Mr.. Parks had no authority
to represent Marshall County before
the state tax board.
Mr.. Parks IS liable to criminal
prosecution for presenting false
claims, under the Acts of 1905, which
he himself helped to pass and if we
are not very badly mistaken prosecu-
ton will follow if Mr. Parks's bill is
allowed and the amount drawn from
the county treasury
The fee of $4,000 that Mr.. Park.
charged the county for about 30 min
uteS work is more than he makes in
a month in his law practice, is more
than three times the amount charged
by Attorney Logan and more than
fifty times greater than that charged
by Mr. Leonard. In this connection
we wish to- state that the figures
given to the tax board were prepared
in the AUDITORS office and were pre-
scented by Mr. Leonard the county
assessor and if any credit is due ~
one for the per cent decrease il is
due Mr.. Leonard and not Mr.. Parks
Mr. Leonard only asked his ex-
penses and no charge is made what
ever for inflated" legal ability.
There is no appropriation for this
bill and the council may be induced
not to make it.
The taxpayers Of Center township
have not forgotten the fee of over
$500 that Mr.. Parks charged for get
ting little transfer money from the
state superintendent of schools lit
tie over year ago.

Lodge Plans Plank for Tariff Revi-
sion.

Lodge PlanS FLANK lot ldrlH NeVi-
sion.
Senator Henry. Cabot Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, who was the central
figure in framing the tariff plank OF
the Republican national platform in
1904, aspires to be the man to make
the platform for the party again next
year Senator Lodge was chairman
of the committee on resolutions at
the Chicago convention three years
ago, and unless it be thought better
to pass the honors around he may fill
the same niche in the convention oil
1908. AT any rate, he is likely to be
the administrati N leader, and if the
administration forces control the con-
vention, as seems most probable al
this writing, he will have possibly
more voice in shaping the resolu-
tons than anyone on the scene OF &C
ton.
1t is significant, therefore, that
Senator Lodge already has added his
voice to the list of party leaders who
are assuring the country that tariff
revision is due TO move Immediately
following the Inauguration of Re-
publican President, March 4, 1909. 1t
is we'll known that the policy OF
starting action for the administration
that is to- succee the present was
enunciated By President Roosevelt
and his advisers months ago, al
though Senator Hopkins of Illinois
seemed to think he was telling the
country some live news when he ex-
plotted the idea after the luncheon at
Oyster Bay few weeks back. 1t
had been so long since the original
publication of the facts that some
newspapers had forgotten them, and
Mr.. Hopkins was credited with a
scoop"
The latest word which comes from
Senator Lodge however, attracts par
ticular attention because he is the
Presidents closest friend I'm the up
per branch of Congress, and because
he is the person likely to go to the
place where the national convention
is held with the tariff plank in his
pocket.-Chicago Record Herald.
