NO CABINET MEETING -
TEDDY HAS PHOTOS TAKEN

explanation the executive told his ad-
visers not to wait, but to come around
again next day. Then he donned his
riding clothes, telephoned the photog-
rapher, called for Captain Fitzhugh
Lee, and hurried to the riding course
at Rock Creek park.
For more than an hour the president
rode gracefully in front of the pho
tographer, usually leaping his horse
over hurdles. Some splendid mega
tives were obtained and Mr.. Roosevelt
feels more than justified in postponing
the cabinet meeting.
One pose in particular where the
president is smiling as he sits on his
horse while going over a hurdle, is
deemed good enough to have warrant
ed almost any halt in government ma,
chinery.

What The Saloons Paw.

What The Saloons Pay.

the state house disclose that the
average tax paid by the saloons oper'
ated in Iowa, September 80. 1905, was
sS65.S5. or the 240 cities in which
they are operated tax additional to
the $500 annual mulct was collected
In but 164.

toned. $54S,52626 went to county
treasures and $925,61S.94 went to
city treasures.
The ked Book, soon to be issued
by the secretary of state, will contain
statistics relative to the operation OF
the mulct and cigarette tax laws.
These are the first authentic figures
showing the extent to which the laws
are In operation.
They show that there are Sc coun-
ties in which the prohibitory law still
obtains. In the 43 counties under the
mulct law, 242 cities and towns and
81 townships have saloons. There
were ITO OF them. The county
treasurers collected from them in the
year ending September 80, 1906,
1897, 052,52
or the 242 counties In which saloons
are operated reports were received
from 240. or these &c do not charge
tax additional to the $500 annual
mulct; the others do. The total col.
lections made by cities and towns
amounted to $377092.
Scott county has the largest number
OF saloons of the 43 counties In which
they are operated, 242 in all. Harrl.

Lottery schemers Admit Guilt.

BY pleading guilty In the federal
court to charges OF using the malls
In the conduct of lottery scheme,
John +. Wheatley and George II.
Witch Of Keokuk prevented the
authorities from making their dia-
mond and macintosh gift scheme a
test case. II Is said that hundreds Of
firms throughout the country are car
rying on operations exactly like the
keokuk firm.
Had Wheatley and Witch not
pleaded guilty their case would have
been the first one of the kind brought
to trial since the enactment Of the
present anti.lottery law. The gov
ernment authorities will probably
take action against other concerns
engaged In similar business.
Messrs. Wheatley and Witch claim
that they did not knowingly violate
the law and as evidence of this they
point to the fact that they did not
try to conceal the orc7tlon of thsir
business from the postofIice Inspector,
who investigated ii some time ago.

Blanket Joint Rates Must Wait.

Blanket Joint Rates Must Wait.
Reserving the right to alter It's rul-
ing later, the state railroad commits
sion announced that II would not now
attempt to establish blanket joint
rate for freight in this state, but that
1t would undertake to put in joint
rates for certain business enterprises
petitioning therefor on certain routes
of railroad.
1t was disclosed In the hearing
that the authors of the bill thought
II would be impossible to enact a
blanket rate and the law that was
passed was left open to the discretion
of the commission. 1t provides that
the commission shall make "a sche-
dule of Joint through railway rates
for such traffic and on such routes
as In its Judgment the fair and rea-
sonable conduct of business re-
quires," and the board Is authorized
to add to any joint rate promulgated
by 1t, on due notice, etc. Represen-
tative White of Story county, joint
author Of the measure with Senator
Jameson. informed the commission
ut the hearing that he had never UNI
derstood That the bill was intended
to require the commission TO enact
a blanket schedule.
While the decision OF the commits
sion, as announced by W. l.. Eaton
mt the close OF the hearing at the
state house on the 23d was declared
to be tentative ruling. It is be-
lieyed that Il will stick. During the
day the Shenandoah shippers and the
railroads got together on a perfectly
satisfactory joint rate basis, affect
Ing industries there, and the commits
sion decided to try a hand at fixing
these rates for particular industries
and communities over particular
routes To that end II was an
nounced that the hearing would be
resumed on June @ for the purpose
OF hearing from the railroads and In
terested shippers In certain communi.
ties the basis OF Joint rates on which
they may have agreed In the mean
time. The list includes the brick and
tile interests OF Clermont, Mason
City and Des Moines; the industries
Of Shenandoah and Fairfield These
were represented at the hearing just
closed.
