Treasurer Sheldon Says Money
for Campaign Purposes viii
Be Hard TO Get.

Hot Springs, Va. July 11.-That
the publicity OF campaign funds Is to
be made a feature of the coming cam.
paign was made very clear here Fri
day Mr.. Taft had extended talks
with Chairman Hitchcock and George
r. Sheldon, treasurer of the national
committee, and the necessity for the
strictest possible compliance with the
New York law In relation to the pub.
icity OF campaign funds Of the ma.
tional committee was the chief topic.
Referring to suggestions that the
Republican party might receive funds
outside OF New York and not include
them In the report OF the national
treasurer, Mr. Taft replied promptly
that II was. possible to commit per.
Jury I'm such q case, but he secuted
the idea that the purpose OF giving
publicity to the funds OF the party In
the coming national campaign Is not
entirely sincere. Mr. Sheldon also
declared that the New York law In
respect to all the funds that come TO
the national committee In whatever
state they may be collected Will be
published, with the names OF the
donors. p.
AIR, Sheldon said he believed that
money for campaign purposes would
be very tight" this year, but he did
not believe the publicity OF campaign
funds would lessen the amount con
tributed. He declared that compli
ance with the law In this respect
would dispel the popular idea that O
vast amount of money is spent in ma
tional campaigns.
Elmer Dover, secretary Of the ma
tional committee, is expected here TO
day. II IS understood that under the
present arrangements for the cam
paign Mr.. Dover will at once enter
upon active work.

UNCLE SANS SCRAP Basket.
Has Proved a Source Of Revenue I,
the Government.


Economy is said to consist In ths
care OF trifies, and Of this the Wasts
Paper Department OF the United
States Governments Stationery Once
affords an excellent example.
An official of this department while
in New York recently gave an inter
esting account Of the system.
mo less than $4,000 is saved an
nually by the Government waste paper
basket" he said. 1T was not so very
long ago that the waste paper OF the
Government Office was an unrecogniz-
ed perquiste OF the heads OF depart
ments and many OF the minor OH
cials, with the result that no small
quantity OF good stationery was
thrown away. and in some cases large
amounts OF Government property were
systematically misappropriated, Not
only was this the case, but papers
Of an importaa, I'D caaifentiai
character found their way into the
hands OF outsiders, sometimes with
very unpleasant consequences.
"A visit TO the waste paper depart
ment would forcibly illustrate to you
the enormous amount OF corresponds
ence and clerical work with which
the various Government Offices nave
10 deal.
'To the department--it Is really 9
large warehouse-comes 5000 tons OF
waste paper every year, the average
days receipts varying from ten &c
twenty tons. How vast is this amount
will be better realized from the fact
that IL a single weeks waste paper
from the Government Offices was
thrown into Washington Square Il
would come pretty near burying the
Washington Monument. Vast as the
present quantity is, Il Is steadily in
creasing at the rate of about twenty
tons every year.
''The Iaper received is of the most
miscellaneous character. consisting OF
old letters, State documents, printed
matter, old account books, and the
like. On receipt II is at once handed
over to the sorters. who classify II
Under twelve heads, and pack II sep
arately In large sacks. The sacks are
then shipped to the pulp mill. Con.
tdential documents receive careful
and effectual treatment. They are
thoroughly sliced up by a cutting ma
chine. When papers Of an especial
ly secret character are dealt with the
middle section Of each pile is taken oul
and placed In separate receptacis
from the rest. The cut fragments are
then placed In a sealed sack, and are
conveyed In charge of an officer &C
the pulp mill, and there reduced tt
pulp Under his eye.
Another section OF the waste paper
department contains tho used ribbor
from the Morse telegraphic instru'
mepts. This pours In at the rate ol
shout fifteen hundredweisht per week
measuring approximately 800 miles"

ors at Yale Hereafter.
Hereafter persons who come to Yale
to deliver commencement addresses
must not expect honorary degrees
TO go with the invitations. The new
rules, when have been two years In
building and which have been made
public, state that no honorary de-
gree can be given to person IN the
same year In which he makes one or
the regular graduation addresses.
In former years when public man
received an invitation to deliver a
commencement address in tne law or
medical school or in one OF the other
departments he was quite likely to re-
ceive with II a notification that an
honorary degree had been conferred
on him.
There has also been curtailment
in the selection of candidates for the
honorary degree of doctor OF laws and
in the future the title will not be
given promiscuously, but only in rec
ognitlon OF distinguished public SER
vice. 1t has been the custom at Yale
to confer honorary degrees only at
commencement and then only to those
who would attend the exercises at
which the honors were given.

CURIOUS USES FOR FANS
used by Umplres at Fencing and
Wrestling Matches.

Various are the uses for fans in ia
pan. Properly manipulated, they many
times take the place OF speech. The
umpire at wrestling and fencing
matches uses heavy fan shaped like
a huge butterfly, the handle being the
body and rendered imposing by heavy
cords OF silk The various motions
OF the fan constitute language
which the wrestlcrs fully understand
and appreciate. Formerly In time
OF war the Japanese commander used
q large fan, having q frame or irCn
covered with thick paper. In cnse or
danger IL would be shut, and blow
from its iron bones was no light az
fair. One notable variety Of fan Is
made OF waterproof paper, which can
be dipped In water and creates great
coolness by evaporation without wet
ting the clothes. The fiat fan made
OF rough paper is often used as a
grain winnow, to blow the charcoal
fires and as dustpan. The Japanese
gentleman OF the old school who new
er wears hat uses his fan to shield
his eyes from the sun. His head,
bare from childhood, hardly needs
shade, and when II does he spreads
an umbrella, and with his fan he dl-
rects his servants and Saves talking.
