New York, Dec. 2.-Seeking 10 IN

Standard Oil company, Frank B. KEEL

also sought information regarding GER

made to James Mcdonald by the
Anglo-American company, = Standard
subsidiary, but Mr.. ArchbOld direc-
tor Of the Anglo-American company,
was unable to throw any light on the
question. Mr.. Archbold seemed to
think that there was no one this side
Of London who could help Mr.. Kellogg
with the information he desired.
For over a year the governments
counsel has been trying TO obtain in
formation regarding these Mcdonald
loans, but has failed. The government
alleged that the loans were made to
enable the Standard to secretly pur-
chase the Manhattan Oil Company of
Ohio Mr.. Archbold said that he and
Henry H. Rogers resigned as directors
of the Anglo American company short
ly after their election q year ago. The
vice president of the Standard denied
that the designations were brought
about by the present government pro
ceedings.
Mr.. Archbold was closely questioned
about many pipe lines and refneries
which had been purchased by the
Standard. He denied that the refner-
les had been bought that they might
be dismantled. thereby removing COM

LIGHT AGAINST
CANNON is OFF
Taft Assured That Uncle Joe
VIII Fall in Line.

Cannon and the Present Regime In
the House VIII Put Through Mr..
Taft's Progressive Prosram-Thelr
Acceptance Of Presidsnt-EIeet's
Terms May Be Reflected In Change
Of House Rules.
Hot Springs, Va, Dec 2. - The
threatened fight by Mr.. Taft against
the reelection Of Joseph G. Cannon as
speaker Of the house is on. II was
learned from a reliable source that the
preeident-elect has received Rssur-
hnces that Cannon and the present
regime in the house are ready not
only TO make the revision Of the tariff
thorough and honest, in accordance
with the Taft pledges on the stump.
but TO put through the rest Of the
Taft program Of progressive legisla-
ton.
In other words. Mr.. Taft has &C
eOmpished in a little over two weeks
sust what he started out to accom-
plish. and he is ready now to accede
20 the reelection Of the speaker In
what form these assurances came TO
Hot Springs is uncertain at this time,
hut there Is no doubt that they were
conclusive. There would not be much
surprise here if It turned out later
that National Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock brought the olive branch
from the Cannon crowd. Hitchcock
hry The rrngfdnnf-
elect to look into the speakership sit
uAtion. He came to Hot Springs short
Iy afterward from Washington and
proceeded to discourage the idea that
there was to be any fight between Mr.
Cannon and the president-elect
Mr.. Taft will undoubtedly meet the
speaker when he (TafD goes to Wash
angtOn next week, and at that time the
details Of the understanding will be
worked out.
The Taft progressive program in
eludes besides tariff revision legisla-
tion looking toward the prevention OF
the Over-issuing of railroad stock and
bonds, also legislation providing for an
enlargement Of the machinery to carry
out the Roosevelt policies already en-
acted into law. and for an increase in
the stan Of the department OF justice
with a view to the more effective pros
ecution Of violations Of the interstate
commerce act
Mr.. Taft's friends have declared |
ever since the limitations Of q fight |
against Speaker Cannon began to
come out that the president-elect had |
nothing against Mr.. Cannon person
ally. All he wanted was definite assur-
Ance that the speaker and his sup |
porteTs in the house would play fair on |
the tariff and that the progressive |
policies which Mr.. Taft had outlined
sn his speech Of acceptance and on the
stump would not be INSTRUCTED.
The falling in Of Cannon and his
friends behind the Taft program may,
however, be reflected in changes in
the rules of the house. The movement
that has already been started by sew
eral Republican congressman to refuse
20 caucus on the rules is sure to gain
an impetus from any concessions that
Cannon and the other leaders Of the
house may make to Mr.. Taft's de-
mands.

WHY BUTTER is HIGH

Report.
Chicago, Dec. manipulation of
the leading butter markets of the
country by coterie of Chicago Elgin
and eastern produce men, is said to
be responsible to a large extent for the
present high price of butter. While
supplies of butter are larger than is
usually the case at this season. values
are materially higher than year ago,
with prospects of further advances be-
fore there Is any relief.
Rumors of a corner in June storage
butter, which is the best of the sea
sons pack. have been circulated for
some time. and while vigorously de-
MED by the principals, the fact re-
mains that the stock Of choice storage
butter is tightly held, with prices high
and on the up grade.

TO ISSUE MOURNING STAMPS.
British POstmaster-GeneraI VIII
AdOpt a Novel Suggestion.

British POstmaster-General VIII
Adopt a Novel Suggestion.
Sydney Buxton, the British postmas-
ter general, in opening an exhibition Of
postage stamps, held under the aus
pices of the Junior Philatelic Society
at CaxtOn Hall, said that owing to q
suggestion he had received he would
shortly make an issue of mourning
stamps, which he thought would be
more popular than the black-bordered
or mourning envelopes now in use, ac-
cording to a London dispatch to the
New York Times.
Mr.. Buxton, besides being a practical
administrator of mails, showed that he
had also considerable philatelic knowl-
edge. 1.-The fascination of stamp col
Letting" he said, lies in the rare finds
which are continually made and the
curious points which sometimes make
stamp Of the face value of a few
pence worth hundreds Of pounds. For
instance, the 4-cent blue Mauritius
stamp which the Prince of Wales
bought at public auction recently for
$2,25O was unique In one respect. The
proper wording on it, Post Paid Maui
ritius,' had, by a strange error, been
altered to Post Office Mauritius.'
Another stamp which has been
priced at several hundred dollars IS
valuable for the mere misspelling of
one single word. 1t is a British
Guiana issue, worth just 1 cent, but is
sought after by all collectors because
the word 'Patimusque' figures on 1t in
stead of 'Petimusque.' Again, cent
Cape of Good Hope stamp changed
hands the other day for nearly $1,000,
simply because, instead of being red,
as are all the others of this issue, its
color was blue.
Some years ago, in West Australia,
few stamps were printed with the
figure Of a swan upside down upon
them. When the mistake was detected
the issue was hastily destroyed. How
ever, several specimens escaped, and
one of them has been sold for $4,000"

year.
Figure 2 Is a common and very bad
form Of road; the top Is left too fat;
it holds instead of sheds the water.
If this form Of road is found upon q
black loan soil, the wheels and horses
feet will thoroughly puddle the road
so that the water will not soak through
except very slowly, and a rough and
broken surface is it's normal condition.
Figure Is a cross section Of an
average unimproved road. The water
stands in the middle Of the road and
cannot get away. The drivers passing
that way turn out and go around the
worst places, weaving in and out and
picking their way as best they can.
The expenditure of $50 to $3.50 mile
will grade the road and put it in the
form of Figure 1. The proper form
of the roadway is superimposed upon
Figure 8. and shows how easily the
proper form can be made by taking a
little material from each side and put
ting it in the center.
Every township should have road
grader, and this If taken care Of will
last for twenty years. While every
township should have a grader, every
farm should have a road drag. This
can be made Of split log or plank and
need not cost more than 81 or SIS. The
drag should be used after every rain,
Sticking up the surface and moving a
little material towards the center. If
the road is properly graded and the
drag faithfully used, earth roads will
be improved 100 per cent.
Highway commissioners should get In
touch with the State highway authori-
ties and get from them suggestions for
the practical working Of the roads.
BODYBUILDING is an art that Is very
little understood, and, because OF this,
from half to two-thirds Of the money
raised for highway improvements for
the last forty years has been practi-
cally wasted. 1t is time to commence
doing the right thing, and doing it at
he right time.
