TAFT IS GUEST OF
 THE OHIO SOCIETY
SECRETARY DISCUSSES THE RE- LATIONS WITH JAPAN AND THE EFFECT OF THE TRIP OF THE AMERICAN FLEET.

Philadelphia, January l.-Secretary Taft of the war department was the chief guest of the Ohio society of Philadelphia at it's banquet held here tonight.
 When Secretary Taft arose to speak he was greeted with a song ill which he was referred to as The Only One" In reply to this he said:
 Tt seems to be q mighty poor society nominate some one for the presidency, d little paper and sign it value re- ceved.'
 He described Ohio as the typical Ameri- can state, referred to the places it's sons have held in the history of the country, and then talked of the relations of this country with China and Japan. The Chi nese and Japanese, he said. do not de- sire war with us, nor do we with them. The question of the open door in China, he declared was the important one to us The United States, the secretary said, was second only to England in it's com mercial relations with China, figures faiI- ing to show the true conditions because American goods entering China were com pelled to pass through Hong Kong, port controlled by England.
 The sending of the American fleet to the Pacific, the speaker insisted, had no war like significance. But the effect as viewed from the oriental standpoint was most wholesome, since the orientals reason through their eyes and the material evil dence of the government warship in the Pacific settled the talk of war in the Philippines.

GOVERNOR GUILD SPEAKS ON I TAR|FF While a ProtectieniSt He Advo-.
 CateS Revision CONCESSIONS TO BE MADE  Governor Says He Is Not Candidate For Any Public Office and For
 Lack of Better Position
 Is Governor.
CONCESSIONS TO BE MADE

New York. January Ex-Governor Guild of Massachusetts delivered an ad- dress before the National Shoe and Leather banquet tonight
 He spoke in part as follows:
 "A demand will be made after the next national election for a special session of Congress for the revision of the tariff in the interests of common sense rather than of political interests.
 T am a protectonist. l believe that policy more than any other one thing has built up the industrial domination of the United States. I believe that policy should be continued, but the time has come when logical and needless duties should cease to hamper alike our indus tries and our people.
 Wool is a proper subject for protection Sheep are carefully bred to produce a certain kind of wool and the sheep that produces the finest wool give the poorest mutton.
 No one ever heard of a farmer raising cattle for their hides or breeding cattle to produce a certain kind of hide. The duty on hides helps the big meat packers, I understand, to some extent but it is certainly of no value to the cattle raiser
 ''The American manufacturers of upper leather import their raw material free of duty. Common justice demands that the American manufacturers of sole leather should be able to import their material of an exactly similar character, free of duty.
 Tt is not so very long ago that our home market was more than sufficient to provide for the product of the shoe in- dustry. Now the product of the industry has far overhowed the possibility of home market. In the fiscal year ending June, 1907 we exported nearly 6O0O.O0O pairs of sholes valued at nearly $11 ,O00,- GOO.
 Tt is a serious and significant fact that this amount has remained station ary with scarcely any increase since 1901.
 "The hard and fast lines of the present tariff leaves no weapon with which we may fight tariff war. We have no maxi mum schedules. We have no concessions that We may make on the products of country that is willing in her tariff to make concessions on ours'
 Governor Guild advocated free admis- sion of bituminous coal and beef and reduction of the duty on wool. He thought that a revision would not cause a gen. eral upheaval of business. In conclusion, he said:
 "That I may not be misunderstood, let me say that I am not a candidate for any further public office. l am simply business man. who for lack of better happens at this time to be governor of New England commonwealth. The tariff should not be treated as a political ques- ton but as a business. It should not be treated as a local question but as a national question. The test to which every proposed duty should be subjected is not is such luty demanded but. is such d duty needed. Duty should not be applied as d benefit to come locally on &C., count of it's political influence, but only as a benefit to the country as whole and for the good of all its people"

COST OF THE CANAL
 CONSTANTLY CROWS
COLONEL GOETHALS SAYS THAT $3oo00o,oo0 IS THE FINAL LIMIT ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GREAT WORK.

Washington, January 14-With a view fo eliciting at first hands all possible in formation regarding the organization of Panam canal construction and the rate of progress being made the house com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce today had before it Colonel Goeth- als, U. s. A, chairman of the Isthman Canal commission, and chief engineer of construction. Colonel Goethals was ques- toned at length concerning the Gatum dam, but said that definite method of construction had hot been adopted. After d recent visit to the Wachusett dam, he said the commission would not attempt to duplicate that dam.
 {, The work of building the canal, Colonel Goethals said was progressing more sat isfactoriy than he had expected. The rainy season had interfered with trans portation and with other work. The tracks sink and get out of level. causing deraiment5 of trains, but these difficult ties he anticipated would be reduced. During all heavy showers work is sus- pended.
 In answer to questions, Colonel Goeth- als said he thought the excavation of Culebra cut would be completed in the next four or five years. Colonel Goeth- als said that the number of men on the canal and railrnaa pay rolls is between 200O and 1000. The force is made up main ly of Spaniards, Italians, and west Indian negroes.
 Questioned as to a comparison of cost and amount of work being done on the United States, Colonel Geethals declared that if Congress would abolish the eight hour law he would get 70 per cent more work out of the men,

SHUNGOPAVI DOES
 SOME NEAT STUNTS
Indian Wonder Worker Is Greeted By Audience Taxing Auditorium's
 Capacity.

\ diamond in the rough-the intellect of the savage with it's natural keenness developed by it's close contact with na- ture, then broadened by education and brought to a state of scintillating bril- liancy by association with civilization that is what an audience, which filled nearly every seat in the High school au- ditorium, had the pleasure of being entertained by last night in the person of Shungopavi, a full blooded Redsl1in medicine man from the plains of Ari- zona.
 Shungopavi is a wonder worker. but while his tricks are equal to any which any magician has displayed to Bir- mingham audience, his eloquent flow of English, quaint. flashing wit and broad sense of humor added a fragrant zest to his performance. He displayed Indian tricks as done by the medicine men, Chinese, Hindu and American sleight of hand artists. All of his tricks were neat ly done, many appearing really inered- ulous. He appeared in Indan costume, making his appearance with war whoop. This was where the savage ended After llldl He Haul lut polSt bA etli -NIiSA iSe1'A with planty of brains. His comparisons of the Americans and the Indians, show ing that the Americans were the more superstituous was especially good.
 He described the rain dances of his native tribe, which is done with rattle snakes and other venomous creatures, and in simple but eloquent language told of the legends and traditions which have been handed down by his tribe.
 Miss Kate Gordon Muench was de- lightfully pleasing in her recitation and violin playing. Her voice was modulated, but could be heard distinctly all over the house. She appeared in several sketches and displayed originality.
 Miss Louise senton as a pianist and vocalist was especially pleasing. She plays with d dainty touch while her voice is exceptionally sweet. She ap- peared in several selections, but when she sang "Old Black Joe just like we used to hear it sung years ago, in a low and melodious voice, the audience seemed spell-bound, a full moment elaps- ing after she had finished it before the audience could rouse itself to break in- to applause.

EactionaI Fiaht Is Hot.

Columbus, O., January 14.-Secretary of State Thompson today heard reports of the three factions in Cleveland re- garding their claims in the Taft-For- aker fight to be recognized as the bona fde committee of Cuyahoga county. Secretary Thompson inti- mated that he will probably refer the matter to the republican state central committee and let it decide as to the legality of the committees and then he will act. This is understood to be ia vored by the Taft people, but the For aker faction strenuously objects to the plan.

HICKMAN HAS NOT
 YET WON VICTORY
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD FOR A DEADLOCK IN THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE, WITH CHANGES FAvORiNG DARK HORSE.

Frankfort, Ky, January 14-Despite the result of today's balloting for United States senator, Governor Beckham's friends claim to be as confident as ever, and claim that on the next ballot four of the democrats who voted scatterfngly to- day will vote for him tomorrow and that he will be elected The forces opposing Beckham are jubilant and say that i've or six of the democrats will desert Beck ham and thus further emphasize the help lessness of the Beckham fight.
 The republicans practically concede that neither Bradley nor any other republican can win, but that an anti -Beckham dem ocrat will ultimately be elected.
 To an outsider it has the appearance of a deadlock which may not be broken for several weeks.
 A joint ballot will be taken each day until election is had or until the leg- islature adiourns.

for wheat In nearly all quarters.
Not only have the big Minneapolis
mills bid the cash price higher than
the May In that market but they
have ben buying wheat at Omaha
and Kansas City. Chicago houses
have sold considerable wheat to 20 to
country mills. This sort of news,
however, seldom starts strong
market. It is thought that some or
the wheat bought around 81 90 by the
bun leaders has been for sale on
the hard spots this week. Three
days decline, and three cents break
in price suggests buying for natural
recovery. II any adverse news is
received from Argentina 1t will start
active buying Of wheat and a good
advance. Without this the market
appears TO have a declining tendency
and looks like sale on the bulges.
