BOOST PRICES
This is Opinion Expressed BY
Governor Harmon in Mes
sage to Legislature.
DISCUSSES THE COST OF LIVING
Says There is Wide Spread Belief
That Conspiracies are Organized
to Advance Prices-InVes-
tigation Suggested.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 12.-Govern r
Harmon in a message to the legislI-
ture today discussed the high price
Of food stuffs and the advisability of
a legislative investigation thereon. He
also asks an investigation of the sug-
gestion that laws enacted by congress
may be responsible in a measure for
the trouble.
Discussing the causes of high prices
the governor says:
There is widespread belief that
among the causes are combinations
and conspiracics which stine COMPETE
tion and advance prices largely. This
belief is apparently justified by the
enormous differences between the
prices paid farmers, cattle raisers an1
other producers and those paid by
consumers to the dealers from whom
they directly receive their supplies. 1t
is currently reported. too, on the
statements of such dealers and other
authorities that the prices at which
they sell are fixed by those from whom
they buy with threats of cutting off
further supplies If the priced so fixed
are not maintained

CANADA TO HAVE NAVY.
Dominion Parliament Resumes Ses-
sion After Holidays.

Ottawa, ont, Jan. 12.-The Domin-
ion parliament. which resumed its
sessions today after the Christmas re-
cess, is looking forward to the most
important discussion i'm its history.
The subject Ms to the navy BILL the
agitation in regard to which has al
ready attracted the worlds attention.
According to general opinion the point
at issue is no longer whether Canada
shall contribute ships to the British
navy or start navy of its own. That
the latter course will be adopted seems
10 be a foregone conclusion and the
only point that remains to be settled
Is whether the ships of the proposed
Canadian navy shall be constructed In
the Dominion or in England. II is
believed that the governments naval
bill will recommend the construction of
the ships at home. If this policy Is
adopted 1t will probably result In sew

HISTORIC OLD MANSION.
House With Singular Story is Put
Up at Auction.

New York, Jan. 12.-When the Waldo
house. at the corner of Madison Ave-
nue. and Seventy second street. was
put up for sale at public auction to-
day another chapter was added to the
singular history of the magnificent
mansion that has long been admired
by New Workers and visitors to the
city. For fourteen years this house,
with that adjoining il i'm Seventy-sec-
ond street. built I'm the same style of
Gothic architecture, has been one of
the curiosities in metropolitan real
estate circles. They were built in
1895, and with the rich interior fur
nishings cost approximately $1,000, 900.
Yet neither of the houses has ever
been occupied.
Mrs. Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo.
mother of the former Deputy Police
Commissioners, is the owner of the
house. II was built as a copy of fa-
nous French chateau, which Mrs.
Waldo admired while travelling in
Europe. While abroad Mrs. Waldo
purchased thousands of dollars worth
of rare tapestries, bric-a-brac and
furniture for the house. But to the
surprise of her friends she never lived
in the house after its completion, nor
has any, effort been made to find
another tenant.
For fourteen years the stately man.
sion has stood closed and shuttered, a
public curiosity. The once fine stone
front is badly discolored, and storms
have damaged the priceless Interior
fittings, the rain soaking through the
great dome i'm the roof, and percolat-
ing through cracks and crevices, to
an amount estimated at many thou
sands of dollars. Mrs. Waldo's most
intimate friends, 1t is said, have never
learned the cause for her evident dis
like for the mansion upon which she
laVished a fortune.

MANY LAND TRESPASSERS.
State Supervisor Presents Figures in
His Annual Report.

Lansing, Mich. Jan. 12.-The an
nual report of Glen r. Munshaw, SUI
pervisor of trespass, which has been
presented to the public domain COM
mission contains some interesting
statistics, showing the work of that
department during the past 10 months.
Munshaw reports that 263 descrip-
tions were trespassed upon during the
past year of which III were taken in
to court. His agents throughout the
state secured the conviction of IA tres
passers. The amount Of money re-
ceived from the adjustment and sale
of timber totalled S33SS.54. while the
value of timber cut from state"
lands seized and marked state" and
is now being held for market value,
amounts to $1,960.63.
In his report the supervisor Of tres
pass claims that in many instances u
has been shown that trespass has been
committed because of ignorance Of
the law. while perhaps in as many
more the trespasser was aware Of tho
law but simply took a chance.
1t is his opinion and also that Of a
large number of prosecuting attorneys
in the northern counties that a large
amount of trespass could be pre-
vented i'm the future II the jobbers.
lumbermen or people who own lands
adjoining state lands could be ap-
prised of the trespass laws.
Mr. Munshaw says that the activity
Of the state land department during
the past year Is accomplishing this TO
considerable extent. as the prosecut-
ing officers are cooperating with the
trespass agents and the state land de-
partment much more now than N
previous years. II is his desire to put
the states position i'm its true light
and eliminate to some degree, at leas-,
the prejudice existing in some locali-
ties against enforcement of the tres
pass laws.

One of New York's Best Known
Merchants Quits Active
Financial Affairs.
WAS IN M'KINLEY'S CABINET
prtSs RETINRES. leyadg
Man Who Is Credited With Having
Been Indirectly Responsible for
Landing Presidency for 'Roose-
velt Seeks Quite Life.

New York, Jan. 12.-None of the
changes and prospective changes an
nounced at the beginning of the new
,.ear aroused more interest in busi-
ness circles in the metropolis than that
of the retirement of Cornelius N. Bliss
from the field of active business and
finance. For upwards of forty years
Mr. Bliss has been a well-known figure
IN New York and his name comes to
mind almost first when one begins ta-
bulatng the successful merchants of
this city.
Mr. Bliss was born i'm Fall River,
Mass. seventy-seven years ago this
month. His father died when he was
an infant and his mother remarked
and removed to New orleans. His boy
hood was spent in that city. After
graduating from the high school in
New Orleans he passed one year in
his stepfather's counting-room i'm that
city. and then went to Boston to be-
come clerk i'm large dry goods
establishment In 1866 he became a
member OF the firm of j. S. and E.
Wright and Co, commission mer-
chants, and came to New York to as
sumo the management of the New
York office of the firm. In 1881 the
firm became Bliss, Fabyan and Co,
and in recent years II has been known
as the greatest print house in the
world, acting as selling agents of the
great cotton mills of Fall River and
other New England mill centers.
Though Mr. Bliss has always declar-
ed he was not a politician, he has fig
ured prominently in the political af-
fairs of his state and nation. He
was Secretary of the Interior of the
cabinet of President Mckinley and was
treasurer of the National Republican
committee during three campaigns.
In 1885 he was selected as the republi-
can candidate for Governor of New
York but declined the nomination. In
1891 he might have had the nomina-
ton again, but he refused to consider
IT,
One Of his most intimate friends was
the late President Arthur, whom he
supported in the natable Chicago CON
vention that nominated Garfield and
Arthur. There was a strong resem-
blance between the two men, but the
resemblance was on the line of tenn
perament. Mr.. Arthur's failure to get
the nomination at Chicago when Blaine
and Logan were named was n great
personal disappointment to Mr.. Bliss
The story has frequently been told
of how Mr.. Bliss was indirectly re-
sponsible for landing Theodore Roose-
Welt in the Presidency. When the fer
vent friends OF Colonel Roosevelt at
the Philadelphia convention were us
ing every effort to induce him To ac-
cept the second place on the national
tlcket, and he was about yielding lie
