TOO MUCH HEAT FOR THE (. A. R. PARADE

Salt Lake City, Utah, August n.-Eid- summer heat thinned the annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic, the feature of the forty-third sencampment today, and wrought still more suffering among the hundreds of children who par ticipated In the formation of the living flag. So oppressive was the heat that the plan calling for the living flag in the procession was abandoned.
 At least 100 children and 20 old soldiers were taken from the street. Many of the victims, young and old, recovered as soon as they were placed in the shade. Those treated at the emergency stations num- bered 45 15 of them Grand Army men and 30 children. There were no fatal ties.
 The hours of the parade were the hot test of the day. At Il o'clock when the column got under way the weather bu- reau thermometer registered S5 degrees.
 Notwithstanding the dgrpmfort the par ade was a great successE Fully -00600 per sons saw or tried to see the spectacle.
 The Nebraska delegation carried ears of yellow corn. The Minnesotans were bearers of sheafs of wheat and the Green Mountain boys of Vermont wore sprigs of pine In their hat bands.
 Arkansas had the distinction of send ing the smallest division-there being but four wearers of her badge. Illinois made the largest numerical showing
 At the rear came little band whose banners evoked the darkest pictures of the great civil war. On the white back ground the watchers read Libby An dersonville,' Macon" ""ryler." Belle Island,' and the names of other Con- federate prisons. The division consisted of the former prisoners of war. It Is estimated that 1000 veterans took part in the parade.

Clay, charged with the murder of Eugene Chestnut The entire afternoon session of court was consumed in the effort to secure a jury Up to the time of the noon adjournment the defense in the Walton trial had intro- duced a number of witnesses, all of whom testified as did those of yesterday to in- sane actions of the defendant on many occasions during the past several years, and that he was a constant user of intox- icants. Many of the witnesses testified that Walton threatened to kill them at different times for some imaginary wrong.
 The jury in the case of A. l.. Clay was completed late and the case set for trial Friday morning. The hearing of evidence in the Walton case will be resumed to- morrow morning.

Greater Birmingham Hearing In Senate Postponed Until O'Clock This Morning-Urquhart Will Call Up

Montgomery, August n.-(Special.)-At midnight the Birmingham delegation be- lieved the new county may possibly be defeated. After days hard fight it seems probable that the senate will stand by Jefferson county. Only 32 members will be in their seats and it will require but 12 votes to kill the amendment.
 At 10 o'clock tonight conference was held at the Exchange hotel and a care- full campaign mapped out for tomorrow.

Washington, August 11.-tSpecial)- Lively talk has been caused here by the attack of Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, upon the Taft Ballinger policy of pre- serving the forests. Information from the summer capital at Beverly is also to the effect that the politicians assem- bled there think that unless Mir Pinchot takes back the filings he has made at his superiors in office he is not likely to remain long in the government serv- ice.

MORE TROUBLE FOR
 THE NOTE BROKER

New York, August 11.-with seco Id charge lodged against him, Donald l.. Persch, the young note broker who was arrested, charged with the larceny of copper stocks belonging to F. Augustus Heinze, is still a prisoner tonight, and while there was no additional arrest to- day, the district attorneys office has ascertained that he was not alone in the transaction. The case will be placed be- fore the grand jury tomorrow and the evidence at hand, 1t is said, will reveal A systematic scheme worked, not only in this city, but in Philadelphia and Bos- ton, whereby stocks, supposed to be safe in the vaults of banks. have in reality been relnqushed to individuals, who placed them on the market at profit. Though MT. Heinze, according to Wall streets analysis of the affair, was thought to be a particular victim, it has come out through the district attorneys office that other men suffered likewise.
 One other man, at least, was thus nipped He is J. M. Everett of Boston, whose New York brokers, Cram, Milliken & Co.,, made an additional charge against young Persch today. According to that firm, Persch negotiated loan or $IOoo on stock owned by MT. Everett. The stock in question was 100000 shares of inc Fclipse oil company and the name of Henry F. Risborough of Philadelphia appeared as the man who furnished the money Coincidentally, one of MT Ris- borough's references was Charles katz' the Brooklyn brewer, who has been men tioned in the Heinze loan The methods pursued in the Everett case, accorolns to the charge made today was sllllllar +o that hv which the Heinze copper stocks were put on the curb, that is the stocks were hypothecated after having been nut up as security.

GIFFORD PINCHOT MAY
 LOSE HIS POSITION

as he. Pinchot's zeal in his work has been intense. Being a man of large wealth the salary attached to the office is of no consequence, and it is said that re- peatedly when Congress was slow in making specific appropriations for some piece of work he thought ought to be done promptly he would go down into his own pocket and take his chances of getting his money back. Mr. Pinchot had the entire confidence and backing of Roosevelt in all his policies, and if he breaks now with President Taft there is much speculation as to where Roose- welt will stand when the issue has to be squarely drawn.

C.. in Bunting's room at the Gladstone hotel at Black Mountain. Saturday morning. Watkins at the same time seriously wounded Paul Cameron Collins of Hills boro. N C., who with Bunting. was alleged to be creating a disturbance in their room. The indictment was found on the evidence of two negroes, Clem Jones and Burley Cowan employees of the hotel, who were the only e-wtnesses to the shooting.

Washington, August Especially A special from Crisfield, Maryland s great softshe1l crab market, says: All though in the center of a local option county Crisfield Is overcrowded with illegal whisky sellers, and the town officers, with the assistance of deputy sheriffs, are making arrests daily. The negro sections of the town are filled with speak easies, blind tigers, walk ing bar rooms and other dives for the illegal sale of whisky and liquors of all kinds, and it is conservatively esti- mated that there are no less than 50 violators of the liquor law in the town.

Worse Condition Than
 With Open Saloons

on at night, and 1t is said that at least 20 barrels of focal option" whisky was sold in the lower part of the town last Saturday night.
 The town officers have more than tn cir hands full, and 1t is understood that concerted effort by the citizens of the town will be made to suppress the illegal sales and as far as possible relieve the present condition. In the opinion of many the town Is in a worse condition than if open saloons were allowed.
 The officers are planning general cleaning out of strange negroes and dives, and it Is likely that the best part of the next term of court for Somerset county will be spent in trying Crisfield liquor cases.

Surprising in magnitude and impor-
lance all other racing fixtures for stock
cars on the 1909 calendar, the first ma
tionaI stock chassis race for the trophy

Chicago Automobile club will mark the
dawn of a new eGa in the history of
western motoring. In all essentials, it
is confidently anticipated that the first
contest for the new cup will duplicate
the history of the first battle for the
Vanderbilt trophy, as regards the dis
play of public interest.

BE A BOOSTER"

Boost is a slang word that fits adj
mirably into American speech. There
Is no other that quite conveys the
same meaning.
"JolIy' is another bit Of colloquialism
that is useful in its way. But there
is a wide difference between a jolly
and boost.
To jolly is to flatter.
To boost is to put forth sincere eff
fort.
The jolly is from the lips only.
The boost comes from the heart.
The booster has genuine attach
ment to his cause, whatever that may
be. He has faith in that which he
boosts. He believes; therefore he
boosts.
The booster always is an optimist.
A pessimist cannot boost He doesn't
know how A pessimist is naturally
''knocker" The word ''knocker," by
the way, is another useful coinage in
our American speech.
Instance the man who boosts his
town. To him his town is the center
of the universe His property is there
his home, his family, his future,
even his grave, probably; therefore he
believes his town is worth boosting.
An admirably good fellow is the
booster of his town.
And so of the man who boosts his
church. He believes the doctrine Of
his church is right. He believes the
preacher Is the best. He urges you to
come next Sunday and occupy his pew.
The pastors best beloved is the
church booster.
And so of the man who boosts his
home. His home is the contest, his
wife the sweetest and best and his
children the smartest Of all. Mind
you, he doesn't go about telling these
things. But he boosts his home JUS
the same, as everybody knows, and
especially his family.
1t is not so of the jollier, who keep:
his promise to the ear, but breaks it t
the hope.
It is not so Of the knocker, who Is 1
nuisance to his town, his church, hi
home to himself.
The booster is wise in his day an,
generation, because when he boosts b.
boosts himself When the knocke
knocks the knock comes back upon tn
knocker BY the same law OF reaC
ton, when the booster boosts the boos
comes back upon the booster.
Boosting is the soul Of all work.
Work without soul Is drudgery. FL
fort Of whatsoever sort without enthu
siasm is but dreary commonplace. Blu
the booster puts soul in his work, an
therefore his work is a constant serie
Of happy accomplishments.

MONON PLANS IMPROVEMENTS.
The Monon is arranging to improve
the roadbed a distance of forty miles
with crushed stone and contemplates
in the not distance future having the
entire road bed ballasted with crushed

At meeting of the liquor dealers of
Cambridge resolutions were adopted
to live up to the law and to conduct
their places as the law indicates. 1t
also was decided to stop serving free

games and gambling.
GIVEN GOOD POST.
George B. Peterson, ticket agent OF
the Monon at Bloomington, recently
transferred to Lafayette, is looked
upon as one of the shrewdest and
most active ticket agents the company
has in it's employ. He was changed to
Lafayette on account it being more

Bloomington.
ADMITS HE IS A PERJURER.
! A sensation was created yesterday
afternoon when George Skinner, upon
being arraigned in circuit court al
Marion for trial, pleaded guilty to the
| charge of perjury that had been held
against him for nearly two years. Ii
had been anticipated that the case

cision to throw himself on the mercy

er living near Mier. this coutny, who
are charged with subornation.
