TRADE REPORTS CHEERFUL
Visible Evidence of Expansion in job

New York City.-Bradstreet' says:
Trade reports to Bradstreet's are

vance of the season, are found in the
reports that the large numbers of buy

the west, southwest and parts of the
south, have taken hold more freely.
although even in the markets of the
southwest, whence best reports come,
there are evidences of conservatism.
based largely on the high prices
asked for goods. Jobbing trade at the
east is slower to open up, but there
is certainly more doing in jobbing at
New York, while primary dealings
are still classed as quiet.
The least favorable feature in the
country's trade at present is the con-
tinued sagging in export trade in farm
products, an effect easily traceable to
the high prices ruling for breadstuffs,
meats, animals and cotton.

GOVERNMENTAL
EXTRAvAGANCE
SECRETARY MACVEAGH HAS a
PLAN THAT WOULD CUT
DOWN EXPENSES.
L0P OFF UNNECESSARY HELP
Have Bureau of Engraving and Print.
ing Do Work Done In Treasury
euilding-Machines Replace
Hand Labor.

Washington, ID. CAS- If antici-
pating the investigation desired by
Senator Aldrich on his grave charge
of governmental extravaganza to the
extent of $300,000,000, Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh issued a state
ment here after the adjournment of
the senate in which he shows how the
trade can, in the respects he men,
lions, be run more economically.
Summed up, Secretary MacVeagh's
plan is to lop off unnecessary clerks.
have the bureau of engraving and
printing do the work that is done in
the treasury building and replace
hand labor with computing machines
Secretary MacVeagh's statement will
no doubt in due time be followed by
statements from other departments.
Mr.. MacVeagh says: THE study of
the business methods in the treasury
department with a view to economy
and efficiency has resulted in several
important reforms, two of which will
be made effective July /. While the
service of nearly 200 employees will
not be necessary after that date as
result of the changes, the hardship
is to be made as light as possible.
President Taft has approved the re.
forms and has requested the heads of
the other departments to fill vacancies
which may occur on their clerical and
other forces by applying to the treas
ury department for the transfer of
employees to be displaced whenever
practicable. The treasury department
has for some months past taken the
course of refraining from filling, ex-
cept by temporary appointment, vacan-
cfes which have occurred and in this
way will, it is hoped be in position
to transfer to permanent places a
larger number of the employees whose
service in the affected divisions will
be done away with. BY these methods
it is hoped that practically all. if not
entirely all, Of the efficient employees
may be continued in the service.
THE issue division of the treasur-
eT's office will be abolished in part.
The work of this division is to print
the yellow, blue or red seals on
United States notes and put a serial
number on the bills. After July l this
work will be done in the bureau of
engraving and printing where. with
out any increase of force it can be
done simultaneously with the printing
OF the money. Plans have been per-
fected by which $4,000, the salaries
of 100 employees, can be saved without
any dimution of security and with an
actual increase in the volume and
quality of the work.
Another economy effective July /
will result in dispensing with "a en-
ployes in the office of the auditor of
the postoffice department by the addi- |
tion of computing machines. This
will not only save the government
$4,000 a year, but will lessen the
time of the audit of the postoffice ac-
counts from nine to four months, be-
sides increasing the accuracy of the
audit to mathematical certainty"

INDICTED BY JURY

WORK OF PROSECUTOR GARVIN
Defendants Charged With Conspiracy
to Raise Price of Foodstuffs by
Putting Them in Cold
Storage.

New York City.-The beef trust
directors, with the exception of one
were indicted for conspiracy by the
grand jury of Hudson county sitting
in Jersey City. The indictment Is not
based upon any new antitrust law OF
upon any old one drawn to correct
the trust evil, but upon the old com
mon law Of conspiracy. This new law
has been upheld by the highest court
of the state and is epitomized in the
expression that 1T is a crime to do
a lawful thing in an unlawful manner,
or to do an unlawful thing in lawful
manner"
The Indictment is against every d.
rector of the National Packing Co.,
with the exception of Kenneth K. Nc
Larin. The indictments will be hand
ed up by the grand jury on next We'd
nesday before Judge Francis j.
Swayze. The men indicted may be
extradited il necessary. The charge
is criminal one AMI the punishment
provided is three years in states pris-
on or $4,000 fine or both.
The officers and directors of the Ma
tional Packing Co. are Edward Til
den, president; L. B. Patterson, A. T.

uel McRoberts, F. A. Fowler and A. w.
Armour.
The reason for the failure to in
dict McLarin, it was stated. was that
he was merely representative here
in the east and was not supposed to
have had any part in the fixing of the
prices of foodstuffs.
The indictment charges that the de-
PENDANTS conspired to raise the price
of foodstuffs by putting them in cold
storage and releasing them from time
to time.
The indictment of the beef trust di-
rectors who have, through the Ma
tional Packing Co., set at defiance the
law of supply and demand, raised
prices on foodstuffs as they saw fit
and forced the prices of meat beyond
the reach of the poor, was brought
about by Prosecutor Pierre Garvin at
ter weeks of hard work.

Meaning of Cemetery.

1t is not correct to say that "ceme.
terry" means the "city of the dead"
The word is from the Greek "Koime-
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There is nothing
in the thinking that it was originally
intended to convey the idea that the
departed were really dead any more
than there is in the old Hebrew term
for -"Bethaim"-the house
Of the living.

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

| AS everyone KNOWS, g. w. Post of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the
tradesunions are menace to the lib
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against The Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin-
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum story"
and he has thus spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
in transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, 1t is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
'alsehood, an underhanded and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hav-
Ing not the slightest basis in fact. AS
such an effort it must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about
the peanut shells is being given wide
newspaper publicity. In the patent
inside" of an eastern country paper l
find it, and the inference naturally is
hat labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution (or a mani which
will resort to moral intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
MAIN and kill If necessary to effect it's
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur-
poses.
We admire Post. While we have no
enmity toward labor unions, SO long as
they are conducted in an honest, live
kind of way, we have had
enough of the tarred end of the stick
to sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support.
A man like Post can not be killed, even
with lies. They are boomerang, every
time. Again, we knoio, for hasn't this
weapon. every weapon that could be
thought of. been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out of busi-
ness, too?

Nuts. Bully for Post! Editorial In

BLASTIN POWDER PLANT
SIX MEN KILLED AND TEN
OTHERS MISSING BELIEVED
TO BE DEAD.
TWO SCORE MORE INJURED. SEW.
ERAL OF THEM 1T is BE-
LlEVED FATALLY.

Ookland, Cal.-Six men were killed
and ten others who are miss
ing are believed to have met in.
slant death as result of an explosion
which occurred in the Trojan powder
works at Roberts Landing near San
Lorenzo in Alameda county. Two
score more were wounded several of
them it is believed fatally. The iden.
titled dead:
Reuben Tharp, chemist.
Frank Mccarthy, laborer.
John Lewis, laborer.
Unknown Chinaman.
Four of the probably fatally injured
are: Henry Conrad of San Lorenzo,
G. c. Golding of Alameda, two China
men.
The explosion was caused by the
bursting of a boiler, the concussion
from which resulted in a series of ex-
plosions in different parts of the plant.
The detonation was heard for miles
and in the bay cities it was at first
believed an earthquake shock was re-
sponsible for it. The buildings in the
immediate vicinity of the explosion
were shattered and a fire which fol-
lowed for time threatened the de-
struction of the entire plant.
A force of 40 men and women were
at work in the buildings. Many of
them rushed from the scene of disas-
ter and on this account 1t has been
impossible to form an accurate esti-
mate of the killed and injured The
powder plant consists of 25 buildings
and at one time nine of them were
ablaze. The magazine house was for
time encircled by the flames and
imminent danger of destruction. Later
an official of the company gave out
statement in which he declared all

For two centuries or more England
has been picking up islands, continents
a nd other uncOnSidered triffeS of land
that no one else WAS strong enough to
hold until the map of the world looks
as if someone had spattered red ink
over it with a careless but liberal hand.
And when once the flag of England is
planted on territory it is with great
difficulty that anyone can uproot the
fiaepOIe. To be sure, the American
colonies did this. but the argument
lasted for half a dozen years, and not
until France joined in the dispute was
it ended.
Hence it is surprising to read now
that England is evacuating Sonaliland.
This uninviting region is on the south
side of the Gulf of Alden, between the
mouth of the Red sea and Cape Guard

the sea 1t covers an area of 10000
miles and has 100000 inhabitants.
France has patch of land on the west
and Italy a large territory on the east.
For eight or ten years the Mullah
has been raiding all the southern parts
of this region, and more than one
British force has met with disaster
there: trade has been lost, and at last
the government has grown tired of the

the evacuation already some 500 ma
tiVes friendly to the British have been
