 Cheap Car Fare
 Cry. PRESIDENTS LETTER
 IS MADE PUBLIC Roosevelt States That He Considers MT. Burton's Election There De
 sirable.

Cleveland. O., Sept IT, Congressman Theodore E. Burton tonight issued a statement discussing the so-eaned na- tional phases of the coming. municipal election in Cleveland in which he is the republican nominee for mayor, and making public for the first time the let ter of President Roosevelt. who urged him to accept the local republican lead- ership in opposition to Mayor Tom l.. Johnson Mir. Burton declares that the mayoralty campaign is in no wise com plicated with national politics and that his aim Is to redeem the city of Cleve- land from the administration of a ring.
 Under cover of the slogan of cheap street car fare" says MT. Button, there has been built up in the city of Cleve- land tremendous political machine. Every department and agency of the city government has been utilized to perpetuate it's power. Favors have been granted and bargains made wherever political support could be obtained. Influences are being exert ed through the police and building departments. among contractors who have dealings with the city and by an army of city employees with an arbitrariness and resort to question

SUES FOR LEGAL SERVICES
THOMAS BRINGS ACTION
Borough of West Haven to Determine Whether to
 Defend or Not.

Suit has been brought against the borough of West Haven by Attorney Edwin S. Thomas of GAO Savin ave- nue, secretary of the Democratic State Central committee, to collect 8 bill of some $200 presented for legal services rendered to the borough some time ago. At the time when the bill was presented there was not enough money in the treasury to pay it and the burgesses voted to lay it over until more money was on hand. Then, it is said, Burgess George w. Adams told his brother burgesses that the legal advice given was not worth the money charged in the bill.
 After consideration of the matter the burgesses voted to offer Attorney Thomas $106 in payment of the bill. This was refused and so the bill re- mained unpaid.
 In consequence of the refusal of the burgesses to pay the entire amount of the bill, Mir Thomas has now insti- tuted suit against the borough for $500. A meeting of the voters of the borough has been called for next Tuesday evening when it will be de- eided by them whether the borough shall fight the suit or pay the original amount of the bill.

CHICAGO CHARTER REJECTED INDIFFERENCE CAUSE
Mayor Busse Says Adoption Would Have Been a
 Benefit.

Chicago Sept 17-The new charter authorized by the state legislature at its last session for the city of Chica- go was rejected by the voters at to- days special election by majority of over 62,000. Little more than half of the registered vote was cast, final fig ures, unofficial showing 59,446 for the charter and 122,O54 against 1t.
 Mayor Busse issued the following statement tonight:
 Tt is evident from the result that a great majority of the people of Chicago either do not want a charter or are not sufficiently interested in a new charter to go to the polls and vote. A very light vote and the majority against adoption clearly proves that think this indifference has been a mis- take While the charter contained some provisions that were disagreeable to this, that or the other special interest or element in the community, yet, on the whole 1t was good thing for Ch'- cago. It's adoption would have enabled the administration to accomplish many public improvements which would have been of lasting benefit to the city.

JAPANESE VERY FRIENDLY
GEN. WRIGHT TALKS
Tells Roosevelt Ill Feeling Over School Incident is
 Passed.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 17.-That Presi- dent Roosevelt is keenly interested in ascertaining the actual sentiment of the population of Japan toward the United States was developed to-day in the visit to-day'to sagamore Hill of Gen. Luke E. Wright, the retiring am- bassador to Japan. Mir. Wright later spoke of the presidents endeavors to get information of the character first hand and indicated that he would avail himself of every opportunity to talk with American travellers returning from the Orient.
 The report of conditions made to the president to-day by MT. Wright was most optimistic, according to the re- tiring ambassador He said that the San Francisco school incident was the only thing that had disturbed the Jap anese at home, and that the action Of the American government in that mat ter had quieted all feeling. which had developed.
 As to the visit of the battleship fleet to the Pacific, MT Wright announced that recognizing the entire rights and advantage to the United States in do- ing as it pleased with its navy, Japan felt no resentment nor in his opinion would the cruise be made the basis of the development or any unpleasant feeling between the two countries. Ann orleans were invading Japan, he said, rather Japanese invading the United States. More American travellers had visited Japan during the past winter than ever before, and their treatment, MT. Wright said, had been not only de- void of unpleasantness but cordial on the part of the Japanese. ..... t,ei

CONSTITUTION K ADOPTED HASKELL IS GOVERNOR Democrats Successful in the New State of Okla-
 homa.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 17-Returns from the larger cities and counties of Oklahoma and Indian Territory up to midnight, indicate thav the constitu- tion of the proposed new state has been adopted by large majority; that the prohibition clause of the constitu- ton which was voted on separately, has also been ratified, and that the democratic state ticket, headed by c. N. Haskell, for governor, has been elected, over the republican ticket, headed by Frank Frantz, the present territorial governor of Oklahoma. The voting was heavy. Several days will elapse before complete returns are in. The new state chose five congress- men. In the first and second districts the republicans expected to elect former delegate to congress B. s. Me Guire and former Territorial Governor T. B. Ferguson. The third, fourth and fifth districts were conceded to the democrats whose candidates in the respective districts were James Davenport, c. D. Carter and Scott Ferris.
 The convention that framed the state constitution was heavily demo- cratic and the constitution as com pleted was obnoxious to the republi- cans.
 Secretary Taft, speaking recently al Oklahoma City, advised republicans to vote against the constitution.
 The new state must await the con stitution's endorsement by President Roosevelt, who will either approve ol reject it upon his judgment as tc whether it conforms to the enabling act of congress, and the constitution of the United States.

STANDARD OILS
 VAST EARNINGS Total Profits of Eight Years Amounted to Nearly
 a Half Billion
 Dollars.
SEVENTY COMPANIES
 UNDER CONTROL
Attorney Kellogg Brings Figures Before Public
 at Federal Hear

New York. Sept 17.-Delving into tile financial workings of the Standard oil company, of New Jersey, the holding company of all the subsidiary organi- cations of the so-called oil trust, Frank B. Kellogg, conducting the federal suit for the dissolution of the company, brought forth to-day to public view far the first time the enormous profits made by the Standard oil comp my. n a period of eight years from S19 10 1906 inclusive, the Standard oil cou,- pany- on a statement spread upon lh9 record of to-day's hearings. was shown to have earned the total profits of s4on. :, S15,934, or at the rate of more than $sl,- 00O,OO0 a year and distributed to It's shareholders in the same period $S03,- 359,403. While the company was cam ing these vast sums in the refining of oil the statements adduced at the hear ing to-day shows that between 1899 and 1906 the assets of the company grew by leaps and bounds from $2O0, 7O1 ,52S to $S71,664531. The capital stock lS ppcyOOctOOGg L lliallAlSlo anu tllbGN seeking knowledge of the exact profits of the Standard company have striven vainly to obtain the figures, which Mir Kellogg succeeded to-day in placing upon the record of the court. The Standard oil company makes no state ment of it's business and other than the declaration of dividend 1t makes no public announcement by which its business may be gauged.
 The hearing to-day brought out much information which Mir Kellogg obtain ed from the Standard OH company in cluding a statement showing that the Standard oil company of New Jersey controlled by stock ownership over 7( companies engaged in the refining and the transportation by pipe line of oil on September 14 1907.

HAGUE ON MARINE MINES
STORMY SESSION HELI
Great Britain and Germany Split on Their
 Use.

The Hague, Sept 1L--One of the stormlest sitting since the opening of the peace conference marked the dis cussion to-day by members of the com mittee on maritime warfare of the project concerning the laying of sub marine mines and 1t was again dem onstrated that whenever military in- terests are involved, the rlvalries of the powers preclude the finding of a common ground for agreement.
 The leading note to-day was the an- tagonism between Great Britain and Germany Great Britain having the more powerful navy wishes to abolish, or limit to the utmost, the employment of mines, while the interests of Ger many are indirect opposition to such proposal. Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, one of the German dele gates, came to an end of his patience during the discussion and said "As the English press makes us appear as barbarians I propose that the use of mines be abolished altogether" Of course the baron knew that this prop osition would not be accepted, but all the same it created a deep impression
 General Horace Porter one of the American delegates, delivered a re- markable speech in which he defended the American proposition which pro- hibits the use of floating mines, and also of moored mines under certain circumstances. Without mentioning Great Britain General Porter opposed the British principle when he said: Tt is universally acknowledged that mines are less expensive than legiti- mate means of defense for a state having an extensive coast or a weak fleet, OF both. Mines may be harmful to states whose vital necessities con slst in having their ports open day and night"

USE AMERICAN RULES
Irish Yachtsmen Think Sir Thomas
 Has Good Chance to Win.

Dublin, Sept, 17-It is believed that the conditions of Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for the Americas cup, sent to the New York Yacht club on the steamer Umbria, involve racing under the new American rating and rules
 If the conditions are accepted Sir Thomas will build two boats One is to be designed by William Fife, but the designer of the second has not yet been chosen. Milne may be selected but the biggest boat this designer has yet built does not exceed 49 feet in length and the new boat should be about S2 feet long, according to the international rating rule.
 Experienced yachtmen here believe that under the conditions suggested Sir Thomas chances are excellent.
