YEARS BUSINESS
First Year For Criminal Court o.
Appeals places it High Among
Courts.

Guthrie, okla, Sept. 1S.-Last Sat
ufday the criminal court of appeals
ahisbed its first years work. This
court has taken high place among
the courts of this country and its de-
cisions have received favorable COM
ment from eminent jurists of every
state of the Union. More than one
hundred cases were bequeathed to
this court from the old federal court
at Muskogee all of which, or practi-
cally all have been passed upon. One
hundred and fifty new cases have
come up on appeal and it is matter
OF great credit to the court to say
most of these cases have been dis
posed of. This means that it has
been busy year In which all three
Of the judges and their employees
have worked every possible minute.
One change has been made in the
personnel OF the court since its es-
tabllshment. Judge ]. G. Baker, OF
Muskogee, resigned to accept presi-
dency of one of the largest life in
surance companies ever established
and was succeeded by Hon Thos. Il.
Owen of Muskogee, who is recognized
as one of the best equipped men in
the state for this position. Presiding
Judge Henry NJ. Furman and Hon.
Thos. H. Doyle we're members when
the court was first established and
have been persistent workers. Judge
Doyle has been present at every ses-
sion of the court since it's establish
ment. Judge Furman is an enthusi-
astic advocate of the harmless error"
doctrine recently promulgated by the
court, and commented on throughout
the country.

Winona, Mimi, Sept lS.-President
Taft last night stamped the Payne
bill as the best tariff law the repub-
lican party ever passed" In a 1000
word speech at the opera house here
he made a detailed defense Of the
entire measure. He vigorously up
held the action Of Representative
James A. Tawney Of this city, who
supported the bill, and therefore Is
in danger Of defeat, and said that had
the bill been defeated or had the
president vetoed it, the republican
party would have been demoralized,
the tariff agitation would have con-
tinued, business would have been stall
ed and prosperity halted and the other
pledges of the republican party, to car
nv out the policies of Roosevelt, would
have been impossible redemption.
The president asserted that the in
surgent who voted against the bill
had abandoned the republican party.
was it the duty of the member Of
congress, who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that
it ought to accomplish, to vote against
it?v asked the president
II am here to justify those who an-
sewer this question in the negative.
| am not here to defend those who
voted for the Payne bill but to sup
port them
To this statement Mr. Tawney's
supporters responded with cheer.
Mr.. Tawney met the president in La
Crosse this afternoon, and accom-
panied him to this city, his home
town. It had been reported for some
time that the president intended de-

predict that the president would go
SO far as he did last night in char
acterizing the position taken by the
insurgent senators and representa-
tives. The president had met Sena.
tor LaFollette of Wisconsin, one Of
the leaders of the insurgent movement
in Milwaukee this morning and had
greeted him very cordially

tive the president said last night,
"the members of that party should
surrender their personal predictions
of comparative less Importance. j am
not here to criticise those, who felt
SO strongly and believed so intensely
that it was their duty to vote against
the tariff bill, because it did not con-
tain all they thought 1t should. It
was a question for each man to settle
for himself
In matters of this kind it is a ques-
ton with the party representative
whether he shall help maintain the

TIME AND LABOR ARE
CHEAPEST IN ORIENT

Spokane, Wash, Sept. lS.-"One OF
the many surprises in this wonderful
inland empire of the west which mem
bers of our party and myself are un-
able to understand, is how your busi-
ness and professional men, energetic
and enterprising as they must be to
keep in the van of progress, could af-
ford to give so much valuable time to
our entertainment and comfort"
Baron Eiichi Sh.S1sawa, head Of
the honorary commercial commission
ers of Japan, said this in the course
of an interview before leaving Spo-
kane on the journey eastward. He
added:
There are many things which the
Oriental mind failed to grasp, but the
foremost of these is what / have men
toned. In the Orient the cheapest
things are time and labor, while in
America they are the highest l ap-
preciate the fact that minutes mean
dollars to the Americans and why
your professional men, mechanics and
laborers are paid what to us would
be princely incomes, but ! cannot un-
derstand how hundreds of your busi-
est men could lay everything aside
for three days, as you have during
our stay in Spokane, solely for the
purpose of making our visit cne oil
pleasure and profit. We shall long
remember the warm friendship, hos
pitality and kindly courtesy of the
people of Spokane and the Inland En-
pire.

Withdrawals for Week Leave Balance

Money Affected
tBy Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Speculation
in stocks moderated its pace today
presumably in compliance with sug-
gestions from those who hold the
purse strings. With an actual sur
plus reserve last Saturday of less than
S4, 900, the sub-treasury had abb
sorbed enough by the middle Of the
week to leave the percentage of re-
serve below legal requirements, unless
a scaling down of deposit liabilities
had been effected in the meantime by
a loan contraction. OF this there was
no evidence in the stock market.
The summary of the weeks cur
rency shows the sub-treasury reduced
its aggregate Withdrawals for the
week by yesterdays operations, leaV-
ing the total at S5,43O,OOO.
Foreign money markets gave add
tional evidence today of the effect OF
this process. Discounts in LONDON
again advanced The committee Of the
Imperial Bank of Germany did not
advance the official discount rate, as
1t was expected they would, but an
other meeting of the committee was
set for tomorrow for further CONSIDER
alton of the subject.
Active speculation in Berlin as well
as the demand of Russia upon that
center for gold, has made It COM
petitor.
The action Of the market today
proved that cautious reduction of out
standing commitments was going on,

Bradstreet's Review

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
A distinctly stronger undertone is displayed
in this weeks telegraphed trade reports. I'M
provement in wholesale and jobbing demand,
enlargement Of industrial output and percep
tble gains in collections are the central facts
this week.
The movement of crops and general mer-
chandise is charging and this week finds
widely noted the reports that manufacturers of
many lines are behind on deliveries and that
the idle car list is still decreasing
At some cities disappointment is expressed at
the proportions Of wholesale and jobbing de-
mand though at the same time it is admitted
that 1908 and 1907 aggregates are being heavily
exceeded.
Retail trade as a whole and some branches
mands report warm weather as bar to fullest
activity.
Export trade in leading agricultural products
in at a low ebb, and, while collections are
better, there is still claimed to be much room
for Improvement in this respect
Best reports as to current trade come from
the central west and northwest, where a free
crop movement stimulates demand and helps
collections.

80 against % last week and 25 last year.
