Reuters restaurant Wednesday night and
telephoned 70 New York. Detectives say
they have established the fact that one
OF the Cinnamon was Leon.
The men were excited. and failed 10
get the telephone number in New York
City which they wanted. They asked a
bystander 10 aid, and this man obtained
the number and heard the voice OF a
Chinaman at the other end Of the wire.
The conversation owe rthe telephone was
in Chinese. and was not understood by
the English-speaking men In the restau-
rant.
It Is said that this Is the first time in
years that a Chinaman has used the teie-
phone in Fritz Reuters establishment,
and the entrance Of the Celestials caused
an impression wkich was remembered
when the story OF the murder was printed
Both Men Excited.
The Cinnamon were so excited that they
gave the bartender nine quarters, instead
OF s.. which was the toll for the telephone
call. Both Mougolians hurriedly left the
place after paying for the call and dis
appeared. Since then trace OF them has
been lost, the police say. and the reports
that Leon was seen several times later is
erroneous. the police declare.
This morning Manager Schutt. OF the
National Hotel. where the telegram was
sent, telephoned to police headquarters
that he had found in the uncalled for let

The operator said also that the China

At both the National and st. James

Hotel. said. however, that he re-
called that Leon stopped al the hotel In

A COMEDY OF ERRORS

"The enemies of good government
everywhere will approve the presidents
denunciation of our constitution. 1t
must be opposed by all who favor special
privileges, gifts and graft to the few at
the expense of the many and by all who
believe that the jeweled hand of greed
should be licensed to pick the thread
bare pockets of need"
This is the reply of United States
Senator Gore to President Taft's crit
cism that the constitution of Oklahoma
is a geological garden of cranks.'
Continuing, Senator Gore said:
"The present tour of the president
has been a comedy of errors-a tragedy
of blundsrs ever since the curtain went
up, and probably will be until the
curtain comes down.
81 regret the president so far forgot
both his dignity and duty to assail the
fundamental law of a sovereign state
over whose destiny he has been called
temporarily to preside. 1t seems to me
his denunciation was %undignitied as it
was unavailing.
81 was opposed to appropriatIng S2o,-
900 to the president to carry on this
crusade against progress and the pro-
gresslve republicans, and, it seems
against the constitution of my own
state.
Il have reversed my views. The
money has been we'll invested. 1t will
probably lead to the defeat of Mr.. Taft
by Roosevelt. LalFollette, Cummins, or
som other progressive republican, or
else by Il democrat. As between Roose-
Welt and Taft. | confess that | ferfer the
former. If Roosevelt did not sway. he
did not serve .Aldrich and Cannon"

The great stock argument among the

The great stock argument among the
insurgent newspapers-in favor of the
appointment of one of their particular
brand Of political faith to the vacant
u. S. senatorship-is hat no democrat
would have any "int1uence' at Washing
ton, and the only Thing to do is to
appoint Tom Marshall to the place.
Now, if by any freak of fate Marshall
should get the position, and he should
line up with the ''%insurgent' senators
from Minnesota. Wisconsin, Iowa, etc,
how much 'intiuence" would he have
with the present administration? And
il he lined up with the Aldrich-M Nc
Cumber crowd he would probably have
the "inHuence, but he certainly would
be a long ways from representing the
sentiments and interests of the people of
North Dakota. And there you are.
Any one of a thousand democrats, who
might be appointed. would have as
much ''infuence' in the senate as
Marshall, or any other insurgent, if
said insurgents lived up to the principles
they have been so loudly proclaiming
for the past four years.

More and More Wheat Used at Home.

More and More Wheat Used at Home.
The continued decline in the eX-
portation of breadStuffs lends interest
to IL statement just prepared by the
bureau of statistics of the department
of IN and labor which shows
Il steady increase in the share of the
wheat crop of the United States con-
sumed at home and thus Il decline in
the quantity sent abroad. The en-
portationS of wheat during the nine
months ending with September. 1909,
amounted to only I, 7GS,901 bushels
against Is, l7S.935 bushels in the same
months of 1908. and of flour 6.2SS.2S3
barrels against 9.42S.3347 in the same
months of last year. suggesting that
the calendar year 1909 will show Il
smaller expectation of wheat than any
year iii the last decade With the eN-
ceptions of 1904 and 1908.
This falling off liz the exports of
wheat in the face of an increased pro-
duction indicates. of course. an in
creased home consumption. The bu-
reau's figures of consumption in the
United States show the average an
nual consumption for the five years
ending with 1884 as 800. 900, 1000 bush
els; for the five year period ending
with 1889. 800. 100000: ending with
1894. 30 100000: ending with 1899.
341,000,0oo; ending with 1904. 433, O0O.-
600, and for the five years ending With
1909, $4,000. 900 bushels. The annual
per capita consumption averaged 5.14
bushels i'm the five years ending with
1854. 80 bushels i'm the five years end
ing With 1880. 4.9S bushels in the five
years ending With 1891. 4.7G bushels
i'll the five years ending with 1899.
5.4G bushels in the five years ending
with 1904 and 6.34 bushels in the five
figures indicate not only Il larger con-
sumption as Il result of increased pop
u%lation. but also Il larger consumption
per capita. The share of the domestic
product exported. which averaged
about 33 per cent in the five year pc
RODS ending With 1854. 1894 and 1899.
fell to 30.7 per cent in the five year
period ending With 1904 and 1925 per

Rod ending with 1909.
