OPEN SHOP STILL CONTENTION
Allied Building Trades Alliance Re
fers Problem to Committee.

After a stormy meeting at the Me
Chanics' Hall last night the Allied Build
ing Trades Alliance decided TO refer to a
committee the matter Of submitting the
mooted sixth article to the arbitration
board of the organization, which has been
previously appointed. The meeting Of this
committee, which is composed of one
man for every organization which be-
longs to the association. will be held on
Saturday night at Mechanics Hall
The jouTneymen plumbers contend that
the sixth clause is clearly stated in the
award of the arbitration board, and that
it Is unnecessary for the matter to be
resubmitted, while the master plumbers
seem TO consider the ruling ambiguous
and wish its return TO the board.

statement of State Insurance Superintend-
ent Worry. in Columbus. yesterday, that
Secretary Of War Taft seemed 10 be the
choice of Ohio Republicans for Presiden-

Cincinnati Ohio, March B
We believe that the overwhelming sentiment in
Ohio Is favorable TO Secretary Taft for the Presi-
deney, and cur efforts are to give this sentiment
concrete form. that il shall he expressed en-
phatically at the TFuper time. It is furthermore
obvious that Gov. Harris Is his logical success
sor as governor Of Ohio and should have the
unanimous support of the party.

Digs Up Kings Secret.

In three crumbling columns OF
sandstone in an almost inaccessible
region of Nubia, Professor James
Henry Breasted of the University of
Chicago has discovered the only re-
naming monument of lkhnatcn,
"thc greatest of the Pharaohs.' Sci
entists for thirty centuries past have
vainly sought this object.
The relies, declared to be the most
valuable finds of this century, are the
sole remains of the gorgeous sun
temple of Sesebi in the buried city OF
Gm- Ytn.
Professor Robert F. Harper of the
University. director of the Oriental
Exploration Fund, under which Pro
fessor Breasted worked, received the
news of the find in fifty-page Letter
from Professor Breasted. This will
be printed as the leading article in
the second volume of "Old Testa-
ment and Semetic Studies" the work
planned for publication this fall in
memory OF William Rainey Harrer.
The life work of the famous Pha-
raoh lies all but invisible at the foot
of the third cataract of the Nile, ap-
preached by such dangerous rapids
that explorers of this century have
feared TO brave them. The temple
and its city have been lost in great
plain stretching west from the Nile
to the Sahara desert.
Professor Breasted uncovered the
inscriptions OF Iknaton in the midst
of periodical desert sandstorm
which forced him to'view the relics
only a moment at a time before seek
ing shelter He finally was forced
by the falling Nile TO flee from the
scene.
Professor Breasted found the
proof only because more than thirty
centuries of wind and sand had de-
stroyed a stucco veneer OF the col
umns, upon which the inscriptions
of succeeding king had been super
imposed.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-07-11

There is to be no delay OH the part
OF the war department in utilizing the
appropriations made at the last ses-
sion of congress for fortifying the
American dependencies in the Pacific
ocean. In order that the keys to
these possessions may be put in con-
dition for defense as rapidly as pos
sble, the department is arranging
for the transportation of ordnance
material purchased for American
coasts to Hawaii and the Philippines,
and will replace it at once with funds
which became available on July 1.
The appropriations included $780,
600 for the construction of sea coast
batteries in the Hawaiian islands and
$500, 900 for the same purpose in the
Philippines. For accessories $i30,OOO
was granted and for the construction
of mining easements, ETC., necessary
for the operation of submarine mines.
5000, 900 was authorized. For the pur-
chase of submarine mines and the
necessary appliances to operate them
an appropriation Of $2o5,40O was
made.
1t is understood that orders have
been issued to the transport Crook
to make special trip to Honolulu
and Manila. The transport will car
ry mines for Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
and Olongapo in Subig bay, the two
points which would have to be de-
Tended in the event of war.

China to Lead Other Nations.

China is the nation of the future,
Starr of the University of Chicago.
The Midway anthropologist advised
his students of the greatness of the
celestials in a lecture on ethnology.
The United States will be a loser in
the race of nations, he predicted.
Professor Starr declared that Rus
sia will be the representativ white
nation for the next fifty years, and
that Germany will be the most i'm
portant commercially England and
America were given little chance for
premier honors by the professor
"The future of the world lies be-
tween Russia and China" he said.
Most people are profoundly mistak-
Ell in regard to this nations position.
The greatest white nation will not
be England or the United States,
Germany, Spain or Italy. 1t will be
Russia.
'In my opinion the great nation of
all the world will be China. Don't
worry about Chinese disintegration.
The empress dowager is skillful old
woman-an extraordinary woman
and the people are not asleep.
China is vital and not at all dying
of old age A few years ago people
were predicting its dismembermcnt
and dividing it up among the various
nations. Dismemberment would be
the greatest weapon China could
have The quickest way to get China
on fighting basis would be to give
it European arms and training, as
would be done in case of dismember-
ment. The great statesmen fail to
make allowances for blood and under
lying ethnic facts.
There is no yellow peril, however,
unless Europe and America precipi-
tate it. 1t need not be felt for two
or three generations"

can Steel Foundry Company at Indi-

The loss is covered by insurance, and
the company announced that the
plant would be rebuilt at once. The
cause of the fire is not known.
The flames were discovered shortly
after / o'clock by watchman in the
drying room. The new foundry build
ing was completely destroyed, and
the pattern storage building. in which
patterns valued at $250,000 were kept,
was damaged. There is no regular
fire department at Indiana Harbor,
and when it was seen that the volun-
teer department could not cope with
the flames call for help was seat to
East Chicago. where paid depart
mcnt is maintained. The East Chi
cago firemen responded, and with
the help of the volunteer crew. the
fire was subdued before noon.
