S. e. BALDWIN REFUSES
TO MEET ROOSEVELT
viii Not Sit at Banquet With For
mes President-His Refusal Is
Kept Quiet.

New Haven, Conn Governor-elect
Simeon E.. Baldwin was not pres
ent at the annual banquet of the
Ney Haven chamber of commerce for
the reason that he had refused to sit
at the same table with Theodore
Roosevelt.
Till the last, however the governor
refused to tell whether or not he
would attend the banquet and there
were few of the diners who felt
confident that Judge Baldwin would
put in an eleventh hour appearance at
the banquet hall.
Officials of the chamber here, how
ever, had been notified Neither they
nor Judge Baldwin wished it known
that he had refused to attend the
banquet because any definite an
nouncement of such action by him
would have resulted in a stampede by
the Democratic members of the cham
followed the governor in refusing to
attend that the banquet would have
been a fizZle.
There were 700 present when
Colonel Roosevelt entered the Yale
dining hail. where the feasting was
held. At the speakers table were
Colonel Roosevelt, Col. Isaac Ullman,
president of the chamber of COM
merce; President A. T. Hadley of
Yale, Secretary Arson Phelps Stokes,
Jr.; Chief Justice Frederick B. Hall
of Bridgeport, former Gov. R.. s.
Woodruff, former Gov. P. G. Louns-
bury and Mayor Frank ]. Rice.
Colonel Roosevelt was greeted with
cheers, which lasted fully a minute,
when he rose to speak. "It seems to
me that nothing could be better
augury of the future of this country"
he said, than that Republican pres
ident should appoint an ex-Confed-
crate of opposite political faith chief
justice Of the United States and re-
ceive unanimous applause of his coun-
trymen
with the permission of your presi-
dent shall propose two toasts: First,
to President Taft. and second, to that
learned jurist, Chief Justice White"
After the toasts had been drunk
Colonel Roosevelt said he was glad
to say in New Haven precisely what
he had said to many >former gather
ings In the west" Colonel Roosevelt
said that during the last half of the
last century people had concerned
themselves with the accumulation of
material well being, thinking it's dis
tribution would take care of itself. But
the people had come to see, he added,
that they must concern themselves
with an equitable distribution of
wealth.

! So far from being "trifing coun-
try" Argentina is one of the most i'm
iportant countries of the earth. Her
area is about 100000 square miles, or
nearly three times that of the German
empire. In 1909 the imports were val
iued at S300,000,000, the exports at
1897, 100000 She is the greatest corn
exporter in the world and the first ex-
porter of meats. In the expectation Of
wool and wheat she is second, with g;
fair chance Of soon becoming first!
In the variety and number of its live,
stock Argentina surpasses every other
country. Thirty years ago her culti-
waited land was 100000; now 1t is
$4,000, 900 acres. More than $900,000,-
900 of English capital is invested in
Argentina. There is not on earth
more progressive land.

KEEPING TRACK OF FREIGHT
Ingenious Method Which Enables
Shippers TO Follow Every Move
ment of Goods.

An ingenious method Of tracing
every movement of freight shipment
has been invented.
The tracer consists of a red cover
little larger than a post card, in
which are q number of perforated
post cards which can be torn out. Each
tracer has its individual number. The
shipper fills cut the blanks on its
first page with the number of the car
containing the shipment and othef
data, and also with any instructions
that he wishes to give agents along
the route.
The tracer is turned over to the
agent at the point of origin, who fills
out blanks showing when the ship
ment started. Then he sends the
tracer on by railroad mail to the agent
ut the next big city or division point,
or to the junction where the shipment
IS turned over to another line.
When the agent there sends the
shipment on, he makes record OF the
transaction, with the date and hour
on a blank attached to the tracer and
carbon sheet makes the same rec7
ord on a postal card, which is NUM-
bered No 1, and also bears tne tracer
number. This post card is then torn
out and mailed back to the shipper,
who files 1t. The tracer itself goes On
to the next division point, mere the
agent makes the same sort Of rec
ord, mailing the post card pack to the
shipper, and so on until the delivery
fs recorded on the Il Acer itself. The
tracer then is mailed either to the
shipper or consignee.
If there are indications of damage
to the shipment at any point, they are
noted by the agent at the time he re-
,ceives the shipment on the post card
which he mails back to the shipper,
who thus can tell on what line the in
Jury is done.
1t is asserted that the tracer is iDTal'
Iuable not only in keeping the shipper
In close touch with his freight, so that
he can tell Immediately if there is any
unnecessary delay, and if so, where 1t
is, but the post cards also give him
history of the shipment as it goes for
ward. which will aid greatly in set
ting claims and save q great amount
of correspondence.
