the board of review a statement that

hold stock, and the par value of the

ty men in the leagues list, which is
headed by the names of J. Ogden. Ar
mour and Edward Morris.
According to Jones, some of these
men have not been assessed on any
thing like the amount of assessable
personal property owned by them for
the period beginning in 1905, and he
claims that S15000,000 could be added
to the revenues of the county if the
legal penalty should be added.
The association gave notice to the
board of review of its intention to file
with the circuit court of Cook county
mandamus proceedings to compel that
body to assess the stock of foreign
corporations held by residents of this
county.

Symbolic Designs Decorate PAN
els and Transom

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-New bronze
doors to complete the series of entrance
doors to the capitol have arrived here

Mann, educator, and Hopkins, merchant
and philanthropist.
In the eight panels, four on each of
the heavy doors, are scenes symbolic

RAILWAY MEN RESENT
CRITICISM OF BUREAl
Information for Public Is Only an
Incidental Item

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The railroad
presidents who are interested in the
establishment of a statistical bureau
which has been called press bureau
in Washington, with Logan Mcpherson
at its head, are expressing veXatlon pc
cause, they say, the purpose OF the
bureau has been misunderstood.
With view to correcting TINS ms
understanding, 0. T. Dickson of the
Rurlin gton was authorized to give out
a statement Yesterday. The statement,
in part, follows:
"The establishment of this bureau
was decided upon for the purpose or
procuring and compiling statistical
data with reference to the various
branches of the railroad service, SO
that the railroads themselves may nave
an avenue of authentic. unbiased IN
formation concerning the problems con-
fronting them. In other words, the I'M
portant officers of one road may know
of the workings of their own organlza-
tion, but they also may be unfamiliar
with facts, from time to time, relating
TO the general railroad situation, ana
with the idea of furnishing freely data
between railroad men the bureau was
established.
after it's establishment was decided
unon 1t occurred to railroad men that
if thev were not able themselves, under
the present conditions, to know all the
facts concerning other railroads, it was
difficult to correctly inform the public
at large concerning the whole situation,
therefore it was determined whenever
the public or newspapers sought in
formation pertaining to any particular
question that it should be freely tur-
nished but it is not intended that the
bureau is to engage in a campaign of
nuhlicity"

Thoroughbreds Bound for Chi
cago Put Through PAGES

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The trip of the
Atlantic line steamer Minnewaska from
London, just ended at this port, was
enlivened by horse show, the first OF
its kind ever held upon the sea.
The ship was carrying a consignment
of very fine horses. including some
which will be exhibited at the interna-
tional horse show in Chicago.
There were 226 horses on the Mime
Maska. The owners of nearly all the
animals were passengers, and the idea
of holding a horse show came about
when these men got together to talk
horse. The idea took at once, and the
affair was held between decks on Fri
day A ring was made with a short
run to exhibit the gait of the entries
The Judge was Edwin Hobson, an ILL
nois horseman.
The horse owners on board included
Samuel Bell and William Bell of Woos-
ter, Ohio; Worth Dunham of Wayne
Ill: ]. Hamilton and Mr.. Hawthorne
Canada F. Hobson, Clifton, ILL.,; w
V, Lewis, Wayne, Ill; W. W. Pritch-
art, ottawa Can; j. G. Truman, Bush
nell, Ill.
Most noted of the horses aboard the
Minnewaska was Shelford Pride, Win
ner of many prizes, owned by j. G. Tru-
man. Truman brought over forty
Shires, among them the noted Shire
gelding Victor, who also is to be eX-
hibited at Chicago.

The straight 'front.'" close fitting

Flowing ties have come into their
own. The only rival for popular favor

an amazing set of contrasts when
knotted four-in-hand.

BISHOP SAYS JAPAN is
FRIENDLY TO AMERICA
ChurChman Asserts NipponeSe
Have Good Feeling to U. S.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Speaklng from
the standpoint of thirty years expert
ence in Japan and five in Korea, the
Rt. Rev. HERMAN C. Harris, Metho-
dist Episcopal bishop of Korea, who
has just arrived in this country, said
today that the friendship of Japan fol
the United States was a striking char
acteristic not only of the government
but of the people.
Japan is bound to Great Britain by
the close and definite terms of an alli-
ance, but good feeling toward America
is inherent among the people; it Is
traditional. l would not be going toe
far in saying that the good will toward
this country which you encounter ev-
erywhere among the people, as well as
among those in official life. is more
than a matter of mere friendly senti-
ment. 1t has been in evidence in Japan
for fifty years, and, as l said, is some
thing which young generations of jap
anese are taught to accept as part
almost of national feeling.
Now l know this may sound strange,
but I know il Is true"

SHOWS KEEPER NEW TRICK;
FILCHES KEYS; ESCAPES
Recaptured Prisoner Explains
His Method of Flight

METUCHEN, N. J., Aug. 2.--How a
sleight- of-hand trick unlocked the
gates of the county Jail here and ac-
complished the escape of a prisoner be-
came known today with the arrest in
New York of Erhardt Maick, wanted
by the Metuchen authorities as a fugi-
tive from justice. Maick had served
about half of a long term when he
suddenly disappeared. Nobody was
able to tell how he got away until he
told the story of his escape to the
sheriff when rearrested in New York.
He said he had been a faVorite with
the keepers because they enjoyed his
ready wit, and he often entertained
them with parlor magic and sleight-of-
hand tricks.
On the day of his escape, he said, he
got into conversation with a keeper
and offered TO show him a new trick.
While the keeper was watching the
swift motion of Maick's hands the
prisoner unlocked the bunch of keys
from the warder's belt, removed two
of them and returned the bunch to its
place without being detected. An hour
or two later an opportunity to use the
keys offered iteslf and the prisoner
made his way out.
He will now finish his term in a soli-
tary cell, and the keepers will not
be allowed to consult him for instruc-
tions In parlor magic.

SKELLY GUILTLESS
Continued from Page one,

ly had no need for money, thus there
was no motive apparent for the alleged
crime.
District Attorney S. NJ. Davis closed
the arguments in this notable case. He
prefaced his address by stating that it
had been a difficult case for him to
approach, as he had known Skelly very
we'll and favorably, but that as the
logic and circumstances of the case de-
veloped he was forced to conclude that
Skelly had murdered his wife, and that
the night before the burning marked
the crisis of thing he had long con-
templated: That Skelly arose on the
morning determined to murder his wife;
that he forced her into that northeast
corner, poured gasoline on her and
lighted the torch that was to consume
her: that he meant to close the pantry
door and condemn her to horrible
death; that he believed the husband
took the gasoline tank from the stove
and placed it on the floor that it might
appear as though the burning had hap
pened accidentally.

DROUTH CURTAlLS GOLD
PRODUCTION IN ALASKA

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 2.-The
severe drouth experienced in the Tan

serious effect in curtailing the gold
output for the district, the water short
age greatly reducing sluicing opera
tiOns.
The output for the Fairbanks dis
trict was less than S1,000,000 in July,
and bankers estimate the total output
for the season of 1910 will be only
Sc. 900, 900. Last year it was between
s7,O0O00O and S8,0000O0.
The labor shortage resulting from

LEADERS
AFTER BALLINGER
Senator Crane Finds He Is Han
dicap to Republicans
Is Report
MAY RESIGN HIS PORTFOLIO
Minneapolis Meeting No Longer
Declared to Have Been
Accidental
MAY RESIGN HIS PORTFOLIO
CAssocIated Press)

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 2.-There
was increasing evidence here today
that the recent bombardment of the
president with letters from Republican
leaders in all parts Of the country pro-
testing that Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger was proving an embarrass-
ment in the laying OF plans for the
coming congressional campaign is be-
ginning to have effect, if not upon the
president himself, at least upon the
advisers who are closest to him.
No attempt was made today to deny
the reports that Senator Crane at the
very outset of his political pilgrimage
in the west probably had suggested
to Secretary Ballinger at Minneap-
oils yesterday that his duty to the
party might require that he sacrifice
his place in the cabinet. ALL that Sec
retary Morton would say, after having
considered the matter carefully all day.
was that it would be necessary to see
Senator Crane.
TAFT'S ATTITUDE
The statement was reiterated, how
ever, that President Taft "would not
so much as lift his little finger. II by
so doing he could secure the retirement
of Secretary Balltnger as head OF the
interior department"
In addition to the letters he mas re-
ceived. the president has heard verbally
from a number of party leaders re-
| garding the sentiment toward Secre-
| tary Ballinger. They have talked
frankly with Mr.. Taft on the subject,
it is said and while they have agreed
with the president apparently IN ms
position that nothing has been proved
against Secretary Baliinger, they have
| ~, w on n
and have said that the campaign would
be much easier with the Ballinger
| issue eliminated.
The leaders have declared that the
fight is going to be hard one at best
and while they feel sorry for Mr., Bal
! linger, they regard his presence in the
cabinet as handicap.
OHIO RESULTS
President Taft was frankly told a
| few days ago that the movement be-
hind James r. Garfield in Ohio and
the votes cast for him IN the state con-
vention were a protest against sec
retary Ballinger. The Ohio leaders
recognized the strength of this move
ment by making many platform con-
! cessions to the Garfield wing OF the
party. ,..
There was no disposition in Beverly
! TODAY to treat the meeting of Senator
| Crane and Secretary Ballinger IN
! MINNEAPOLIS yesterday as 'acci-
| dental It was clearly intimated, how
| ever, that any move being made
! against Secretary Balllnger had its in
! ception with the active party leaders
| and not with President Taft. The
president, it can be positively stated,
win never ask Mr.. Ballinger to resign;
If the secretary should feel called
upon to resign. however, there is said
to be little doubt that his resignation
would be accepted.
