GERMAN TAX ON POTASH.

Several southern senators called
UPON President Taft Wednesday to i'm
press upon him the disastrous results
which would ensue from an enforce
ment OF the German export tax upon
potash. They told him that it would
raise the prices OF cotton, tobacco and
the southern farm products generally
as southern agriculturists would be
compelled to pay much larger price
fortheir fertilizers.
They term the action Of Germany in
imposing this tax, discrimination
against this country and assert that the
United States would be justified in de-
claring tariff war in retaliation. Sen
ator Fletcher, OF Florida, and Ovcrman
OF North Carolina, were the principal
spokesman. They declined however, to
give any intima,ion OF the view which
the president takes upon this question,
though generally they did not appear
optimistic as to an amicable settlement.

uNKNOYN SUICIDE.

A pool of blood, a revolver with an
empty chamber, and a derby hat with
"A. P. P" perforated in the band,
discovered on the deck of the Old
Dominion liner Hamilton as the ship
was approaching Cape Henry at dawn
Wednesday morning are the only traces
Of an unknown passenger who boarded
the vessel before she sailed from
New York for Norfolk Tuesday after
noon.
The officers OF the ship believe that
the man shot himself and, after stand
ing against the deck rail some min
utes, either fell or jumped over into
the sea.
An investigation revealed the fact that
all the registered passengers we're
safe in their staterooms, and that every
member Of the crew was accounted
for.
The steward and others, however,
remembered seeing in the dining saloon
a man who was not registered pas
seuger, and who had not been assigned
to a stateroom. This man was tall
and slender, apparently about 3S years
old, had iron-gray hair, wore fashion
ably cut blue suit, and had the appear
ance OF a prosperous business or pro-
fessional man.
The Old Dominion officials have
communicated with New York in an
effort to learn the identity of the sui
eide. 1t is believed the mans friends
will recognize the initials and descrip=

CHARLES |. SURPRISE
MIGHTY BUSINESS MAN
Is Everything From Private
Secetary to U. S. Com
missioner.

That the Hammond office OF the
United States district and circuit courts
is the leading deputy office in the
state, was an interesting statement
that Charles l.. Surprise. the local dep
uty, gave out today in connection with
the close of a four-year term that he
has served. More business is transact
ed in the Hammond office than in Fort
Wayne. Evansville or New Albany. The
principal source of business for the
Hammond office is the naturalization,
but the bankruptcy business and regu-
lar court cases have been growing
apace, adding to the income and inn
portance of the office.
Mr. Surprise is also United States
commissioner for the district, having
received the appointment in 1907. His
four years appointment for this office
expires next year.
Besides his appointments, Mr. Sur
prise has put a number of other irons
in the fire, which have kept him busy
during his four years residence il
Hammond. For time he was inter
ested in Gary real estate to a consid
erable extent, and in the meantime alsC
acted as administrator in a number o.
bankruptcy estates. He is now alst
secretary to A. NJ. Turner, president o.
| the First National bank.

PURTELLE
IS EXPECTED
HERE TO-DAY

Eugene Purtelle, the promoter Of
the Northwestern Indiana Traction Co,
was In Hammond today for the pur-
pose of his attorney. He called J. K.
Stinson up the telephone this morn
ing and stated that he would be in the
city and would explain some of the
questions that have been raised re-
garding his company and himself. The
interest in Purtelle and his company
has grown since certain revelations
were made as to his past operations,
and it is expected that the stockhold-
ers of the company will ask him a
great many questions upon his arrival
here.
In the meantime the bankers and
business men of the city continue to
compliment THD TIMES for putting the
matter up to the people. They say that
if Purtelle cannot stand an investiga-
tion of his methods and pas business
career he is no worhy of he confidence
of Lake couy investors.

headquarters for the exchange. It is
also planned to retain a professional
collector in connection with the ex-
change.
The organization now numbers TWEEN
ty-two members, but the charter Is still
open. The credit exchange is, however.
not the only object of the organization.

blue book the exchange asks that those
who are in arrears in the payment of
| their accounts make arrangement for
settlement in order that as good a
