titudes OF the interior who are con
templating a visit TO the exposition
the recommendation beyond even that
suggested by a great worlds fair
lies in the opportunity for sight OF
and trip on the ocean.
In the jamestown exposition site
and vicinity. shore and sea and eli
matte conditions have combined to
create territory supremely attTac-
tive. The site of the celebration is
the choicest Of choice selection.
Situated on Hampton Roads. Il Is
rich In every prospect TO fire the
heart OF patriotism and sparkle the
eye OF natures lover. Both land and
sea are rich in historic interest. The
expanse OF Hampton Roads is the
field OF many gallant achievements
of the American sailor. and the
shores about are forever eonsecrated
by the yalorous blood OF the Ameri-
can soldier. Here, in the nations

English mariners have met the ships
OF France. Here, In the Revolution
AIRY war and in the war of 1872
American sailors set their battle flag
and deied the power of Britain, and
II was here during the great Civil war
that the Monitor and Merrimac in
augurated a new epoch In the naval
affairs of the world. A reproduction
Of this remarkable duel will be one
Of the striking and original features
Of the exposition.
The tract upon which this City
Beautiful OF 1907 has been reared is
adapted to the purpose for
which Il Is intended. With more
han two miles OF water frontage II
offers at every turn charming COM

EXPECT TROUBLE
At Meeting Of Republican state Com,
mittees at columbus Wednes-
day Of This Week.
CBy Geo. U. Marvin.)

Columbus, o., May 12.--It is-not un-
likely that the meeting here next
Wednesday of the Republican state
executive and central committees and
the chairmen of the different county
committees will result in something
OF a tangle. The friends OF Secretary
Taft are insistent that II he is to
be Endorsed for the presidency. there
must be coupled with II no indorse-
ment OF Senator Foraker for a third
term. While the supporters of Sena-
tor Foraker have not declared them
selves so positively as the opposition,
there Is some reason to believe that
they will demand an endorsement at
the hands of those who attend the
meeting II that be true and the sena-
tor can command the support which Il
Is claimed viii be his. the meeting may
result only in further disagreement
and re-opening OF the whole fight.
Secretary Taft and his supporters
are taking position that this Is not
the proper time TO endorse any one

AUToMoBILEsAND GOOD ROADS.
Influence of the Horselcss Wagon in
the Making of Highways.

The crowning glory of automobile
! touring, however, lies in the demand
1t has created, in all parts of the
world where motor cars are being
used for pleasure or business pur-
poses, for good roads, writes II. p
Burchell In the Outing Magazine.
Here in America the good roads
movement, within recent years, has
become a question Of national i'm
portance. With the. exception of a
few States, notably New Jersey and
Massachusetts,, the subject of better
roads was the last thought that gave
the Legislators the least particle OF
trouble. The Automobile Club OF
America, in It's younger days expend-
ed tremendous amount of argumen-
tauve energy in endeayoring TO con
vince the lawmakers of New York
that money expended on good roads
was az good business investment
Their appeals brought out few
thousand dollars, somewhat grudg-
ingly given. Finally the generous
sum of 100000 was appropriated.
Agitation has been productive OF
similar good results l.: other States.
The Governor of Illinois, IN his mes
sage, gave marked illustration OF
the growing demand fot hett0r roads
In the West when he made Il strong
plea for the expenditure of more
money and careful thought upon
road building. His statement that
barely 2 per cent. os the Illinois
roads were suitable for traffic at ali
periods Of the year was no exaggerG-
ton and scores Of other states could
show no higher average. Depart
ments of highways have been estab-
l!shod in California, Idaho, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon.
Tennessee, North Carolina, Nobras-
ka and In several of the Eastern
states in which the good roads
movement has languishcd Florida |

ed that within a short time there will |

crcasing mileage OF its seryiccable

EIImlnatlon of Grnde Crossing.

Grade crossings are admittedly a
menace to public safety as they are a
danger TO the operation Of trains and
to people crossing the tracks, says
the Good Roads Magazine They
should, then, II is conceded, be done
away with, for the number of acct
dents resulting from them arc con
stantly increasing in numDer. The
latter is due principally to increased
tralhC on the country roads. When
the railroads were first built In
sparsely settled communities the ele-
ment Of danger was not the factor
that II is to-day. In foreign countries
grade crossings are not tolerated,
and they will eventually have to 20
In this country. No comprehensive
plan OF road Improvement can be
successfully carried out without Co
Ing away with them. In connection
with the bonding plan in the State of
New York for highway Improvement,
II has been proposed by certain rail-
road interests that a part Of the
money thus appropriated should be
used In removing grade crossings.
While such a suggestion Is open 20
the criticism OF selfishness on the
part OF the railroads, there is much
10 be said In regard TO the justness
and equity Of their claim. At any
rate the grade crossing should be

Tense Plans LegaI Rattle.

Tense Plans Legal Battle.
The Standard Oil Company was found
guilty of accepting rebates from rail
roads on it's shipments from Whiting,
Ind, in 1903, by a jury which returned
its verdict in Judge lands court at Chi
cago Saturday, and the lawyers for the
defeated corporation plan a legal battle
that is to be ended only by the verdict
of the United States Supreme Court.
Minimum fines amounting to 81, 463, 900
and maximum of 500, 100000 can be i'm
posed.
The point made by Attorneys for the
defense is that in accepting the secret re-
bate rate on its shipments of 1863 cars
the company committed only one viola
ton ami that it can be fined only $780,
600. the maximum for single Offenses
against the Elkins law. The government
will contend that each of the 1,463 ship
ments constituted violation and that the
payment of a $4,000 fine would not be
commensurate with the offense. which net
ted the Standard a saving of $223,OOO on
the shipments.
This is the first time the Standard Oil
Company has been convicted on the
charge of accepting rebates and the dis
trict attorneys victory came at the end
of five months hard work preceding the
trial, which had lasted thirty-six days.
The charges involved shipments from
Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis, H., on
which the legal rate was Is cents, the
Standard rate being cents, and ship
ments to St Louis at 171a cents, while
the legal rate was 1912 cents. Seven
more indictments are pending against the
corporation.

industrial conditions generally main
tam an encouraging tone. Less hesitancy
appears in manufacturing commitments.
and renewed heavy buying orders for fur
mace and finished products make a no
table addition TO the unprecedented &C
emulation of forward work. Many
plants under unusual pressure upon ca
pacity fail to catch up on contracts,
which are behind the time of promised de-
livery. and, with an improving supply of
cars, distribution maintains an exception
ally large aggregate. The low tempera-
ture halted a seasonable activity in the
leading retail branches. The latter tenn
porary drawback is more than offset by
the presence of many outside merchants
who place substantial orders in wholesale
lines. and selections for fall delivery al
ready make a good exhibit in the princi-
pal staples.
Farm advices show spring work now
well advanced and considerable improve
ment work to be done which involves
much buying of materials and liberal out
lays. More Roadway is made in adjust
ing demands for higher wages. and the
building trades have the assurance of a

permits comparing favorably with those

droning serves the double purpose of
bringing on the hypnotic state and at the
same time making the patient feel at ease,
and that there is to be no scolding or
cross-examination, the subject of CONVEX
sation being such as to soothe the person
under treatment and turn her thoughts to-
ward cheerful matters. AS soon as the
hypnotic slumber ensues certain admoni-
lions are given to the sleeper in a sharp

definite changes will take place in her dis
position that will make her better and
