WHERE
THE MONEY
GATHERS

A striking object lesson of the
wealth accumulated in New England
was given by Congressman Hill of
Connecticut, while the income tax
constitutional amendment was up in
the house. To show where the bur
den would fall If an income tax
should be enacted he told what hap
pened through the enforcement of
the Inheritance tax that was in force
from 1900 to 1902.
THE last full year of that tax. /"
he said, showed as follows: The
state of New York paid 81. COS, 900
of It; the collection district of Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, $3.50, 900; /;
Pennsylvania, S641.O00; Massachu-
sets, 1859, 900; Illinois, $325. 900,
making all told in those five collec-
tion districts s3,795.OO0 that was
raised out of total of $4.S42.000.
Let me give you a more startling
illustration than that. Take the col
lection dis rict including Connecticut
and Rhode Island. That district paid
$660.753 of that inheritance tax in
the year ending June 80, 1909. How
many other states did II take to equal
that amount? They were: Alabama,
Arkansas. Colorado. Wyoming, Flori-
da. Georgia, Territory OF Hawaii, In
diana. Kansas. Oklahoma. Indian Ter
ritory Kentucky, Louisiana. Missis-
slppi, Michigan. Minnesota. Nebraska,
New Mexico, Arizona, North Carolina,
South Carolina, North Dakota, South
Dakota, oregon. Washington, Tennes-

HIGHER EDUCATION of PIG
This Task Is Undettaken with Salts
flying Results by KerslalCe.

Those who believe the pig was
built for commerce have made sad
mistake. The pork chop Is delecta-
BILE to be sure, but how much more
lofty Is the work of educating the
brute mind than cutting steaks on
its hind quarters?
Lii Kerslake. who is styled the
barnyard pedagogue. has accom-
pllshed the seemingly impossible
task of teaching common pig to
climb ladder and shoot the chutes.
He taught its companions to ride
velocipedes and skip the rope, and
then organized what he calls his
barnyard vaudeville company. This
company of wonderful pigs Is on the
program of Ringing Brothers cir
Gus, which on Thursday, August 26,
is to visit Salem.
There are some wonderful head
liners with Ringing Brothers this
season. Among the features are the
Arthur Saxon trio of strong men. the
Schumann performing horses, Robli-
dello the wire king, the telephoning
elephants and the automobile double
somersault. Principal among the
acrobats are the Patty brothers, who
walk on their heads; the Manello-
Marnitz upslle-down bell-ringers;
the Pacheco, Burton, Belford, Cor
elli, Montrose and Lorch families;
Horton and Llnder. the Prosit trio
the Mardos and the Livlngstons.
The prominent riders are the Nc
Crees, the Clark brothers, Emms
Stlckney, the Hobsons, Daisy Hod
gini, the buttons, John Agile, EvelinS
Francisco. Josephine Clark, Lulr
Davenport and Frank schadel The
top-notchers among the aerialist'
are the Flying Jordans, the Clarke
mans, the Aerial Smiths, Ed Mil
lette, the Shaws. the Wards, the
Mells and j. Miiares. The Jackson
family OF bicyclists and the greatest
troupe OF Japs In the world are alsC
worthy OF special mention.

He ad- mitted that there was a bad place in the track where it crossed ditch but he was sure that 1t had no part in the wreck asthe car was going seventy miles an hour when the axle plates broke. The coroner then asked Fish CT if they did not put on the races be- fore the track was finished. To this Fisher answered in the affirmative.
 "Is 1t a fact that you did not have time to complete the trackf" asked the coroner.
 Yes, that is true." Fisher answered.
 You were expecting an accident of some kind, were you notH' the coroner continued.
 "Yes sir" was the reply
 And for that reason you had the hospital built thereT'

GRAFT IN PANAMA
REPREsENTATIvEB BENNETT MAKES
 SERIOUS CHARGES.
Claims Purchasing Department of Isth- milan Canal Commission is Grossly Extravagant-Buys Too
 Much Paint,

New York, Aug. 26.-Representative William F. Bennett, in letter to the Secretary of War, made public here today, charges the purchasing depart ment of the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion with gross extravaganza and favor itism in connection with the purchase of paint used for the barges dredges and other vessels engaged In canal work. His letter, he says, Is only the opening gun In a campaign which he hopes may result in the establishment of a central purchasing bureau for the Government.
 "It is reasonable to assume" the letter concludes, "that a purchasing department which has bought nearly fourteen times as much of an article as was necessary and under conditions apparently 1t could not be used, Is en- gagged in other similar and possibly larger transactions.
 In a supplementary statement Mir. Bonnet says:
 '"The contract system in all govern mental departments is subject to crit tctsm, There should be central pur- chasing bureau for the United States Government and then the possibilities of graft would be reduced to a mini mum. I have information of peculiar ities not alone about paint in connec- tion with the purchasing department of the Canal Commission, but about ce- ment and other materials, There is one instance I know of where a con- tract for cement was closed with a concern whose price was between $600.- 900 and $S00,0 900 above that of the low est bidder. ..

Lisben. Aug. 2e.-Special dispatches received here from Melilla. Morocco, say the fighting Is general on the Mo roccan coast.

 A Spanish column has destroyed three villages near Restinga. A Moor ish deserter who has come into the Spanish lines declares that Spanish prisoners after being horribly tortured and mutilated are decapitated and their bodies flung into a hole on Mount Guruga. This hole is a mass of de- composing corpses. Estimates place the number of Spanish prisoners at r. 900.
 The water being doled out to the Spanish troops Is insufficient. The off,, fioers buy mineral waters, but this the men cannot afford to do, and driven by their overwhelming thirst. they have drunk from stagnant pools. Many cases of poisoning have resulted.

 Senator Aidrich having just emerged from the long tariff fight, is shout to take up the important task of adjust ing the monetary system of the coun- try and 1t was in connection with his work as chairman of the mone- tary commission that he was called in conference by the president today. MT. Taft, before framing up his own legislative plan for the coming ses. sion of Congress. was anxious to ascer. tain whether or not the monetary com mission would be ready to report fits recommendations this winter. It is understood that a definite answer was not given today. but the chances are that the committee will not be able to place its conclusions before Con. gress for several months to come. There has been talk of calling Con. gress In extra session in the fall oi 1910 to begin consideration of legisla tfon looking to the enactment of such ~N-~<&aBOo Ah thC lnohCtAEY system ds the commission may deem expedient MT. Aldrich said after the conference today that matters had been discussei only in general way. The monetary commission had expected to devote tht entire summer to the subjects that have been mapped out for its con. sideration. but the long tariff fighi in the Senate utterly defeated this pur. pose.

SurEeOn-GeneraI Wyman Takes Steps to Exclude Plague from United StateS-COmes from

Washington. Aug. 26.-Surgeon- Gem eraI Wyman of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, tonight ca bled Surgeon Robert A. c. Woolen- bourg. stationed at Naples. 10 proceed at once to Rotterdam, where cholera has appeared. to assist American Con- suI Lisloe in seeing that the State De- partment regulations regarding vessels sailing for the United States aTe car- ried out.
 The greatest precautions are to be taken to prevent the introduction of the disease into the United States.
 That the Dutch ship Andyk is en route to the United States with cholera aboard Is inferred from a cablegram from the American Consul at Rotter- dam. received by the Marine Hospital Service today through the State De- partment. The cablegram reads:
 Cholera Andyk. Wednesday. Balti- more."
 This message is interpreted as mean ing that the Andyk sailed yesterday from Rotterdam for Baltimore with one or more cases of cholera aboard.
 The vessel is a slow steamer. and is not expected to arrive of Capt Charles until about. Sept. 8.In the meantime the hospital service will take steps to prevent landing unless a thorough in- vestigation shall have been made.

 ishtOners Not Libellous.
 Atlanta, Aug. 26.-A jury in the Su- perior Court here today decided that the Rev. J. c. Atkinson. of Jonesboro. did not call Mrs. Sadie A Bean Bean a devil incarnate."" or that if he did, 1t was all right. Neither side knows what the jury meant by it's ver- dict in favor of the pastor of the Jonesboro Methodist Church --in the Bean.
 It was last September that Rev. Att kinson preached a sermon on those who sowed dissensions in the church and termed them devils incarnate.' z Mrs. Bean. a member of the flock, thought the pastor referred to her an dfiled the suit. The pastor denied that he meant her particularly. but he frankly averred that he considered her a very disturbing element. Ac- cordIng to him she had found fault with everything. She found the sup- erintendent of the Sunday School too slow; the teachers too ignorant: the voices of the choir gave her nervous prostration and the ladies of the aid society did not know the a, b, c's of giving ice cream festivals.
