CHICAGO.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Some increase in trading defaults
this week is mainly due to the adverse
effects of high costs. but consumers de-
rive benefit from the falling prices of
primary foodstuffs. Heavy payments
through the banks reflect improved ac-
tivity in business generally, and a
frmer tone in the borrowing rate indi-
Gates that capital finds profitable use.
Weather conditions continued I'M
usually favorable to agriculture, man
ufacture and construction. The evil
dences multiply as to more widespread
extension of business operations. Earn
ings of the Chicago steam roads pre-
sent notable gains in gross and in
creases steadily appear in movements
OF heavy freight. general merchandise,
lumber, hides and factory outputs.
New demands furnish a better ex-
hibit in iron, steel, machinery and
woodworking, there being more numer-
Gus orders entered and inquiries for
future execution.
Buyers attended the markets in
greater force and there has been pro-
nouneed activity in the seasonable lines
of dry goods, footwear, clothing, mems
furnishings and food products. Re
tail trade became brisker on higher

NEW YORK.

Crop, trade and industrial reports
are rather mere cheerful this week.
This does not apply so much to actual
immediate conditions as ii does to great
basic factors, likely to be effective in
the future, and as yet 1t may be said
that the Improvement is one OF tone
or sentiment rather than of actual ex-
pansion in demand or distribution. In
deed, except at a few markets, there
is little apparent expansion to be
chronicled, and on a basis of business
done the turnover is probably little
different from week ago.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with April

BASEBALL SEASON BEGINS.
Opening League Games Are Played
in Eight Cities.

Big doings the other day on the
ball lots of the National and American
leagues. Smiling skies prevailed ev-
elsewhere, eight umpires each tossed
out new white ball." eight umpires
each in his finest voice cried play
ball." and in eight cities the sporting
writers chronicled that ''the game was
on" At least these quotations have
done service from time immemorial
and there is no reason why they
should be discarded at this late date.
1t was the day when all the teams
were equal and that marked the initial
puncture or the initial impetue to the
hopes of several million fans. What
will the end be? Call around in Octo-
Der and the answer will probably be
ready.
In the American League the rapid
development last year of Philadelphia
and Boston and the hard tussle that
Detroit had to repeat for the second
time her pennant performance, makes
the picking of championship team
thAO Col IuC 6uCoo WO1h
About the only thing that does seem
assured is that the first division teams
in each league will not differ material
ly from those of last year. Pittsburg
Chicago, New York and Cincinnati
again look to be certainties in the Ma
tional for the upper tier, while in the
American, Detroit, Philadelphia and
Boston appear reasonably safe, with
either New York or Cleveland having
a good chance to wrest from Chicago
her berth in the upper division.
And added interest in the Nationals
race this year is the adoption of a
strong policy regarding the umpiring
and the protection of the umpires
President Lynch bids fair to follow the
example of Ban Johnson, of the Ameri-
can, in this respect, and it is predicted
that the day of umpire batting is for
ever past.

THE PRESIDENT IS KISSED.
Women Disapprove of Speech by
Taft at Suffrage Meet.

President Taft was Kissed while de-
livering an address OF welcome at the
convention of the American Woman
Suffrage Association in Washington.
The manifestation of disapproval was
not unanimous, but it was pronounced.
1t interrupted the Presidents speech,
but did not discomfort him. He wait
ed few seconds for the feminine sibi-
liant of reproach to subside and then
finished what he had to say.
The President was describing the
two conditions he would impose in
granting suffrage to any class. "One
is" ne said, that the class should be
intelligent enough to know it's own
interests. The theory that Hotten-
tots or any uneducated, altogether UNI
intelligent class is prepared for self
government at once, or should imme-
diately take part in self-government, is
a theory wholly dissent from-but
that is not applicable to the present
situation, The other qualification is
that the class should care enough for
their own interests to take part in
the exercise of political power if it is
conferred upon them. If they do not,
then it seems to me that the danger
is that the power conferred may be ex-
ercised by that part of the class least
desirable"

OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRADE.
Bryan, Trip Ended, Points t,
Chances in South America.

&AdACCS Al south America.
William j. Bryan, who has inst
made a tour of South America re-
turned to New York the other day on
board the Red D. Line steamship Car
acas- Mr.. Bryan talked of his trim
20 the newspaper men. He was en-
thusiastic over the possibilities Of
South America to be developed by the
opening of the Panama Canal.
South America is bound to become
The great market for the products Of
this country" said Mr.. Bryan. Here
tofore our merchants and manufactur-
ers have been kept busy with the home
markets, but now they are reaching
out for the trade of the countries 10
the south of us, and they win gain
it in time. The increased sale of our
goods within very recent period DEM
onstrated that we are already begin
ming to see the necessity for reaching
out and grasping the opportunities
that lie all ready to our hand in the
South American countries. The OPEN
ing of the Panama Canal, which will
not be delayed later than 1915, in my
opinion will lead to marvellous de-
velopment of trade relations with the
countries on the west coast of South
America"
During the next fifty years" con-
tinded Mr.. Bryan, between $4,000. 900
and 5G,000000 emigrants will find a
home in South America. and the So
cial and economical changes that will
be brought about by this shift in pop
ulation will bringeup for consideration
wholly new and probably difficult prob
lens"
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
letter sent by him to be read at the
Jefferson day dinner in Washington.

-RetriaI for Son.
THREATS FOLLOW HIS RELEASE
Action of Tennessee Executive After
Adverse Court Ruling Opens
Political War.

Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced
last year, with his son, Robin j. Coop
er, to twenty years in the State peni-
Tertiary upon conviction of the Killing
of former United States Senator Ed
ward w. Carmack in Nashville, Tenn,
Nov. 8, 1908, was granted a full pardon
by Governor Patterson few minutes
after the Supreme Court had affirmed
his sentence. The court ordered a new
trial for Robin ]. Cooper. Colonel
Cooper was released soon after his par
don was signed. His son is at liberty
under $4,000 bonds, and his friends
freely predict that he will not again be
arraigned for trial.
Governor Patterson's action has
aroused Nashville and Tennessee as
nothing ever did before. There is the
most intense excitement throughout
the city. The street corners, hotel lob
bies and other places where crowds
congregate have been the scenes of the
most violent discussions Rumors OF
the Governor resigning, of an attempt
ed assassination and of plot to lynch
Colonel Cooper have filled the air since
the pardon was issued.
Governor Patterson, in the pardon
which he wrote for Colonel Cooper,
said: I'm my opinion, neither of the
defendants is guilty. and they have moi
had fair and impartial trial, but were
convicted contrary to the law and the
evidence. The action of the Supreme
Court in vacating the judgment as to
Robin Cooper, leaves the sentence CT
final conviction as to his co-defe1dant.
The proof showed that Robin Cooper
killed deceased and that D. B. Cooper
did not fire shot. Without reflection
upon the court, it is inconceivable 70
my mind and repugnant to every priN-
ciple of justice that man should be
found guilty of murder who was not
in conspiracy to kill and who, in fact.
did not KILL"
The Supreme Courts reversal in the
case was based on the assignment of
error in the trial judges failing to
charge the jury as to Robin Cooper's
theory of self-defense, linking the de-
tense of the two defendants together,
excluding testimony of Governor Pat
terson as to talks with Robin Cooper
and other points.

ship was rescued. The Santa Clara
sank about four miles down the coast
According to wireless message the
Santa Clara struck heavily in crossing

Is believed her seams opened after she
got to sea. A few moments before
darkness fell and hid the vessel from
the view of those watching through
glasses at Table bluff it YVES seen that
an attempt was being made to transfer
the passengers. One Liam was seen
to fall overheard, cling for a time to

tremendous sea was running, and
when last seen the small boats which
had left the Santa Clara had net been

LOWER FOOD PRICES IN SIGHT.
New York Provision Men Look for
Decline in Beef and Pork Values.

Close observers of the food products
markets in NAw York expressed expec-
tation of an era of low prices for food
stiffs. The wish in some degree may
be father to the thought, said one
provision man, las lower prices would
help us as well as the consumer, but
the tendency of prices now is unmis-
takably downward. 1t seems to me
reasonable for people to look for a
decrease in the retail prices of beef
and pork in a short time The plenti-
tude of grain has compelled the farm
er to feed it to his cattle, which are
waxing fat, and which must be put on
the market" Other provision men
expressed similar views, based largely
upon the decline in the grain markets
and predictions of bountiful crops,
both here and abroad.

ROB FAST MAIL TRAIN.
Two Bandits Hold Up China-Japan
Fast Mail in California.

The China-Japan mail, which left San
Francisco over the Southern Pacific
Railway for the East at 8 o'clock Sat
urday night, was held up by two
masked men at Sprig, two miles east
of Benicia. Cal, at 1890 o'clock the
other morning and robbed of nine
pouches of registered mail.
The train carried no express mat
ter. Four of the pouches have been
recovered, but the robbers rified the
others and now are hiding in the hills
and canyons between Martinez and
Oakland. Sheriffs posses from two
counties, detectives and postoffice in
spectors on horses and in automobiles
are engaged in the man hunt. The
robbers were well armed and battle
is anticipated.
The passengers on the train were
not disturbed and several of them did
not learn of the robbery until the
next morning. After getting the mail
sacks the robbers cut the engine loose
from the train and sent it wild, throt-
tie open, down the main track to the
east
