PRISONER MADE HYBRID FRUIT.
Movement on Foot to Pardon "Sinbad

St. Paul, Dec. 2S.--A Christmas din- ner, given by Warden Wolfer at the Minnesota state prison at Saltwater, has started movement to get par don for "Sinbad the Sailor" life prisoner. on the basis of his "service to the state of Minnesota in general scientific knowledge"
 A party of the warden's guests, among whom was a member of the state pardon board. commented on an immense fruit. resembling a lemon, but weighing three pounds, and meas uring eighteen and one-half inches in major circumference, resting on a sideboard. Interested by the wardens story, the guests pressed MT. Wolfer to bring forward the fruits creator

The grape fruits qualities have been gradually changed. The Minnesota lemon is fit- ted for all the uses of the tropical fruit. It can be made into pies and lemonade, some of each of which. will be served here today
 T got the first cuttings for my in- tended experiments some years ago from Columbus, O. The fruit you see here came of years of work developing size and quality. The trees bloom twice a year, early in the summer and late in the fall. All the fruit on my trees of this variety grow almost as large as this, and are of equally good flavor and firInness.S

Wasteful Use of Money which Attends the Con-
 struction of Every Public Venture
THIS RAKE-OFF A MATTER OF COURSE
Public Structure Puilt Honestly Would Be Freak Graft an Element to be Reckoned with in Computing the Cost of Public cStructure-Opinion of New fork Supreme Court Justice Howard.

Troy, N. Y. Dec. 2s.-"The age of patriotism has yielded to the age of commercialism. Uppermost in the hu- man mind today is not the stars and stripes, but the dollar mark"
 Such was the declaration of Su- preme Court Justice Wesley O. How ard in an opinion today, fixing the compensation of a commission ap- to property resulting from the con- struction of the Ashokan reservoir in Ulster county to furnish a water sup ply for New York city.
 Judge Howard reduced the compen- sation of the commissioners from $3,650 each to $2,200, and then touched upon the subject of graft.
 All Things Possible if This Frightful
 Leak Could Be Stopped.
 Tt is greatly to be regretted" he said. that no public enterprise can be projected and consummated with out this appalling loss, called graft Graft is not necessarily an illegal ex penditure of money; but it is that un- necessary wasteful use which charac- terizes the construction of every pub lie venture. At least forty per cent. of all the money appropriated for pub lie use is lost in graft. All things could be possible if this frightful leak could be stopped--roads, canals. libra ries, asylums and hospitals-all these could be built out of graft could it only be saved.

Thirty-First Annual Convention d

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-"The American people are musical barbarlans and the function of the American musician ia to cfvilize the people,"
 This declaration by President A. W. Harris of Northwestern university was the keynote of the thirty-first annual convention of the Music Teachers Ma tional association, which met today.
 Two hundred delegates from all parts of the country were present when pr. Harris gave the address of welcome.
 Tt is a regrettable fact that music plays such a little part in the educa- tion of the people," said President Har- rls, and 1t is a shame that college graduates know so little of the sublimer works of music.
 "A young man who goes Into ths world without having some idea and appreciation of music Is poorly equip ped for his life work. for he is forever barred from the uplifting qualities to be derived from great musical compo- sitions.
 Education is too cold. and it would be materially improved by the addi- ton of musical studies in connection with our college courses

 Collision at Sea
BUNDLES OF SHINGLES CAME
 INTO BOSTON HARBoR.
THEORY OF SEAFARlRc MEN
Five -Masted Schooner Davis Palmer Possibly in Collision with Another sunken Schooner Located by Tug.

Boston, Dec. 2S.-The discovery to- day Of the wreck of the big five-mast- ed schooner Davis Palmer, which sank with twelve men Sunday morning near Devils Back buoy at the entrance of Broad sound. was followed by the re- port of another wreck three miles distant in the outer harbor
 Capt. Kemp May Have Been Mistaken
 This second victim of the great storm which swept New England Saturday night and Sunday was seen by Captain Kemp of the tug Ariel. who asserts that he saw three masts of a larga schooner projecting above the water, about one and half miles northeast or the gas buoy on the Graves. Two of the masts were surmounted by gilt balls and had their booms and gaffs still attached. The Palmers nlasts also bore gilt balls. Although Cap.aln Kemp locates the vessel three miles east of the wreck of the Palmer, some marine authorities think that he may have been mistaken in his bearings and that he saw the Palmer's masts.
 Wreck of the Palmer Located.
 Seafaring men who believe that tbe tugboats captain is not in error about his bearings are discussing the possi- 5illty of collision between the Palm. CT and the unknown schooner. The finding of many bundles of shingles and of three yawls in the harbor soon after the storm abated, they regard as supporting the theory of a collision. The Palmer lies in deep water, with only six feet or so of her masts visi ble. The unknown vessel, If there is a second wreck, is about three miles to the northeast in the same general channel.
 Probably the last person to see the Palmer before she sank was Captain Sookamp of the barge Hoptacong, which. docked at Lynn today from Hoboken. He reported passing the Palmer a mile and half off Cape Cod late Christmas afternoon. At that time the Palmer's crew was on deck, singing and celebrating the holiday in true sea fashion, all unknowing of the tragic fate that awaited them within a few hours at the entrance to their home port.
 Other Disasters.
 Yesterdays roll of wrecks was in- creased today. The schooner Ada K. Damon, the sole support of her aged master, Capt. A. K. Brewster of York, Me, went ashore at Castle Hill beach, near Ipswich. She will probably be a total loss. Her crew managed to reach shore safely.
 The schooner Maud S., owned by A. Curtis of Surry, Me, sprang a leak while in winter quarters and sank at East Surry in three fathoms.

da, the revolutionary leader in Near agua, will not accept the terms pro- posed by the new president. Madriz. as a basis for peace. A telegram from Bluehelds received fate last night states that on the 22d instant Madriz propos- ed, in telegram to Estrada, a suspen- sion of hostilities. pending the arrival of a committee which he was sending to Estrada, to discuss an amicable and equitable settlement of the present strife. Madriz begged the revolutions ary leader not to obstruct his efforts for peace.
 General Estrada in his reply express ed his willingness to meet the Madrls commissioners, but said that the revo- lutionary party would not recognize the action of the legislative assembly in placing power fin the hands of Ma driZ. He denied emphatically the as- sembly's right to deal with the election of president, and said that he saw i'm Madriz the usurper of the rights of the Nicaraguan people.
 The terms upon which Madriz is will- ing to make peace, it is believed. aro shown in a letter which purports to have been signed by him and addressed to a friend. In 1t he expressed his de- sire for peace without further blood shed, and stated that whatever might happen, compatible with his dignity. ana with the puDnc interests, ne was willing to accept. He says further that the revolutionists should recognize his government and that after such reoog- nition both armies should be disbanded. all arms and ammunition being turned over to him. He states that he would recognize the debts and contracts on the revolutionists and that within six months he would prepare for holding an election. guaranteeing free voting. He adds that he would turn over such power as he has to the person elected president, and that he would accept any other proper conditions.
 It is not doubted here that Estrada'a known astuteness will prevent him from accepting terms of peace, predi- cated upon the prior surrender by him of his army, arms and ammunition to his enemy. Therefore it is not believed that the conference between Estrada and the Madriz commissioners will re- suit in any particular change ia tho present status.

individual or class of individuals is responsible. Graft is product of our times and institutions. It is the peo pie who are responsible; for they seem to have lost, or to believe that they have lost, their title to integrity. They expect graft. and even spoil and booty, to deplete their resources when ever any great undertaking is ventured by them: and they look with complac- ency and federation and indifference at the ravages upon their property.
 Graft is as much of an element to be reckoned with in computing the cost of public structure, as is cement or lumber.
 Add 40 Per Cent. for Graft in Fisur-
 ing the Cost.
 Tt has come to be a matter of course-this rakeoff-a loss recognized by all who make estimates of cost in such cases. Figure out what private corporation, like a railroad, can con- struct a public undertaking for, then add forty per cent. for graft and you have the cost of the enterprise. A public structure built honestly would be a freak"
 Justice Howard declares that the whole project of the condemnation of land in the Ashokan valley is char acterized by waste, disorder and con- fusion. There is no system and no plan for doing anything. Nobody seems to be in charge of the matter and the result is an endless muddle and mix up"

PRESIDENT BEGINS WORK
 ON HIS SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Decides to Adhere to His Original In-
 tentions.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-President Taft discussed with members of his cabinet today the final details of the special message he will send to congress next week dealing with proposed amend ments to the interstate commerce and Sherman antitrust laws, and then be- gan work on the important document today.
 At one time 1t was thought that the president might in this, the first of his series of special messages to congress, deal only with the interstate commerce act, leaving his proposed discussion of the antitrust law to some future date. He has decided, however. that as the two subjects are so closely related he will adhere to his original intention of making his recommendations for changes in the two acts in one com municatfon to the senate and house
 In this message he will submit his recommendations for the issue of fed eral licenses to corporations. The pro- posed license will be a voluntary one to be taken advantage of by such cor porations as desire to place themselves under federal jurisdiction or left alone. as the directors of the corporations see fit.

TALK OF WARRANT FOR ARREST OF WILLIAM R. HEARST Attorney cuIIiver Declares the Charge
 Would Be Election Fraud.

New York, Dec. 28.-Louis A. Culli- yer. attorney for Francis Dolan, who is charged with having aided in the alleged Tammany theft of the inde- pendence league machinery in the September primaries, said in court to- day that he would apply for war rant for the arrest of William Ran dolph Hearst within the next 24 hours.
 CulIiver declared that the charge would be election fraud, fin that Hearst failed to obey the mandatory injunc- tion of the election law which speci- lied that delegates chosen at primaries must be summoned to the convention to which they are elected, even though the convention does nothing more than to adjourn sine die.
 It is held that Hearst called no con- vention of his delegates in this county last fall and 1t was therefore within the authority of the delegates them selves to convene and nominate. This they did under Tammany dictation, which precipitated the legal contro- verey.
