WAR MUNITIONS SEIZED.
Threatened Revolution in Cuba
is Baked.

To balk a threatend revolution
in Cuba. special United States
treasury agents, are on guard at
New York docks following the
seizure of 10000 rounds of am
munition on the steamship Segu-
rancia, of the Ward line. Not
only at New York, tbut in every
port from which vessels sail for
Cuba IS the strictest watch to be
maintained.
1t was on the complaint of the
Cuban minister at Washington,
Gonzalo de Quesada, that the
seizure on the Segurancia was
made. No one at the pier had
any intimation that contraband
was aboard until the officers ap-
peared. For three hours they
searched the ship.
1t is doubted that serious at
tempt was to have been made to
capture the presidency of Cuba by
force of arms. 1t is thought, how
ever. that business interests that
wish the United States troops to
remain longer in the island than
Feb. 1. 1909. when they are to
withdraw,under President Roose-
velts ruling, by importing mu-
milton of war hoped to gain their
object.

GLOBE-TROTTING JAPS
RATE ENGLAND HIGHEST
Like America for Commerce,
France for Napoleon, but
England Seems a Second
Japan

The fifty-six Japanese who are
making a tour of the world are
enthusiastic over their reception
in England. They were struck
with the United States, which
they call the country par excel
lence of industry and commerce.
They were touched by President
Roosevelt's benevolence and sim
plicity, but, says their leader, in
England we were at home and
every one tried to make us feel
SO.
I'VE were sad to leave Great
Britain, and we mean to return a
second time to Europe, for the
sole purpose of learning to know
our ally more thoroughly. We
consider the British isles as kin d
of second Japan, and as the idea
of fatherland constitutes for the
Japanese the very basis and es-
sence of their life, we envelop the
allied power with veritable ven
Grafton, and are entirely devoted
to it.
In Paris it is Napoleon's tomb
that has carried off the palm, in
the matter of interest. The Jap
anese claim that Napoleon is
more popular in Japan than in
France. Napoleon is, in the eyes
of Japanese, the incarnation OF
the ideal hero. Statuetes, picture
postcards, engravings, photo
graphs, everything representing
the great Emperor, was eagerly
bought up to give pleasure to dis
tant friends and relatives.
To the Japanese, Paris is the
city of Napoleon, and the Arc de
triomphe and the Emperor's tomt
are among its most priceless jew
els.

SOUTH BEND
HEARING ENDS.
Railroad Commission Investi-
gates Charges of Rate Dis
elimination.

The Indiana Railroad Commits
sion concluded its Investigations
in regard to determinations in
coal rates Thursday evening.
South Bend manufacturers were
assured that they would get a
square deal from the coal ship
ping railroads if it was in the
power of the commission 10 OBJ
tain it.
1t is understood that the report
made to the commission by the
South Bend Business Mems Asso-
citation will be taken up and the
charges made therein investigat.
ed. If the investigation shows
the figures TO be correct in regard
to discrimination a proper adjust
ment of rates will follow.
One point that was brought out
at the session with South Bend
manufacturers goes back to the
building of the Vandalia railroad.
South Bend helped build the line
from Terre Haute in the hope of
obtaining cheaper coal rates, alJ
now. according to the charges
made by the manufacturers. that
road has been discriminating in
its rates. 1t is claimed by South
Bend business men that the Van
dalia is apparently a party to an
agreement and that it is charging
the same for bringing coal from
southern Indiana mines as other
roads charge for bringing it from
eastern fields.

Plymouth, Ind.
Dear Sir
We have JUS opened two cot

No applications have been re-
ceived from your county and we
are anxious to have as many

of any able-bodied epileptic boy
or young man in your county
who is in need of good home r
whom you think would be bene-
fitted by residence and treatment
here, / shall appreciate it if you
will endeavor to have application
made for him and if you will no
tify me at once, | shall endeavor
to hold a place for him until ap-
plication can be made.
Application blanks will be fur

FINDS OUR ROADS
in POOR SHAPE
CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB
CHOOSES INDIANA AS
MOST INTERESTING
ROUT Ell ARD
PULLING NEAR
PLYMOUTH

Indiana will furnish the most
interesting route for the Chicago
Motor Club run out OF tour that
have been selected.
H. P. Branstetter reports a
route that will prove the most
strenuous of any. Leaving Chi
cago he jumps into Indiana fby
way of Halstead street, which car
ries one over One Hundred and
Third street, out Michigan aven,
ue. and through Holton, Dyers-
vile, St. John and Crown Point.
Between the latter place and Val
paraiso is the finest stretch OF
road on the circuit, some twenty
five miles of boulevard like going.
Between Valparaison and La
porte there is seven mile strip
of fine stone road, then the high
way runs into twenty miles OF
sand. From LaPorte Branstetter
continued to Walkerton and then
hit the Michigan pike, which he
followed in a southerly direction
to Plymouth, doubling back over
the pike to South Bend. This
twenty mile sand stretch was SO
severe it took two hours of plug
ging to make it. From South
Bend to Niles it was sandy, then
the scouts hit out for Michigan
City, Ind, coming in from there
over through Chesterton to Ho-
bart and Hammond, entering the
city through South Chicago.

CALEB POWERS
IS PARDONED
GOVERNOR WILSON OF
KENTUCKY SATURDAY
GIVES LIBERTY TO
MAN TIMES CON-
VICTED OF
MURDER.

Governor Wilson at Frankfort,
KY, Saturday pardoned Caleb
Powers and Jim Howard ,charg-
ed with completely in the assasi
sination Of Gov. Goebel of Ken
tucky. Howard was serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary for
conviction for the killing, while
Powers was repeatedly tried as
an accessory.
Thus ends the most remarkable
murder case in the history OF
American politics since Burr shot
Alexander Hamilton. For eight
years the question OF the guilt on
innocence of Powers and Howard
convulsed the State of Kentucky.
1T turned courts into instru>
ments of political oppression; ii
arrayed the entire state in two
factions; it made justice mock
cry within the borders of the COM
monwealth, and replaced the or
derby procedure of the franchise
with riot, bloodshed and conspir-
acy.
Four times Caleb Powers was
tried for the murder of Governor
Goebel. Four times he was found
guilty by packed juries under cir
cumstances which prevented any,
thing remotely approaching to a
fair trial. Three times he was
sentenced to Imprisonment for
life, and once to death.
Three times the Appellate
Court of Kentucky set aside the
verdicts and branded the trials as
unfair; once the Supreme Court
of the United States prevented
the execution of Powers and set
aside a verdict that would have
sent him to the gallows.
The murder of William Goebel
took place January 80, 1900. He
was then a contestant for the Of
fee of governor. Apparently he
had been elected, but his election
was contested.
The shooting came as a climax
to great disorder, in which rival
factions of armed citizens faced
each other at Frankfort, and
wholesale bloodshed was narrow,
ly averted.

When the Republican national
committee completed its work at

counted up 704 delegates for the
secretary of war on the first bal

OF these 513 are instructed
Taft delegates, SO belong to the

155 by declaration.
Mr.. Hitchcock final tables,
which were computed at night at

work, give the combined candi-
dates 221 votes to be divided up
among them and place 49 in the
uncertain list.
In this section of the compila-
ton of figures Mr.. Hitchcock has
been extremely conservative and
has stuck closely to the records in
the case. His statement shows
that the first ballot will result as

both in the city and in the coun-
try, in the short time it lated.
In the city several shade trees
were blown dowr, and many tel
ephone lines out of the city were
broken. There was not much
damage done to the railroad tele-
graph lines.
In some portions of the county
the damage will be serious. 1t
was stated that the strawberry
crop is badly damaged and hum
dreds of fruit trees which were
overburdened with fruit were
blown to the ground. In both the
city and county many shade trees
were utterly rdined, some of them
are being cut down and hauled
away.
Farmers living north of town
say that it is probable that good
part of the strawberry crop was
ruined.
Fred Goodyear, Democratic
candidate for assessor of Center
township, was hurt quite badly at
his home east of this city Satur-
day. The sudden wind storm
struck a corn crib near which he
was standing, and blew it over on
Mr.. Goodyear. He will recover
in few days.

LOCATE COUNTER
FEIT DEN.
Secret Service Agent Finds Va
Gated Cabin at North Man.
chester.

The visit of Captain Tom Halls
head of the government secret
service bureau of Indiana, to
Warsaw Wednesday night and
Thursday morning brought out
the fact that early last spring
Captain Halls located a counter
letters den on the banks of Eel
river, near North Manchester. He
kept the facts quiet until his re-
cent visit to this vicinity. When
the presence of the counterfeiters
was discovered a raid was plan
ned. When Halls and several
other persons swooped down OH
the cabin used by the makers of
the spurious coins they found that
the counterfeiters were away. A
large number of molds and con-
trivances used in the manufacture
of coins, however, were taken by
the secret service agents.
Despite the fact that repeated
efforts were made TO capture the
men nothing was accomplished
and Captain Halls soon became
convinced that they had left the
state. The matter was kept from
the public press and not even the
farmers living in the immediate
vicinity of the cabin knew what
had taken place. A large number
of bad coins have been circulated
in Warsaw and vicinity during
the past two months and word to
this effect reaching Captain Halls
caused him to visit this and other
nearby cities in hope of arriving
at some idea as TO where the
counterfeits are being made
