STATEHOOD BILL is PASSED
Senate by Unanimous Vote Adopts
Measure Admitting Two More
States to the Union.

Washington. - After remaining on
three months in a state Of UNI
certainty as to it's fate the bill pro-
viding for the admission of the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Arizona
to separate statehood was taken up
by the senate and unanimously passed
after a debate consuming little more
than two hours.
AS passed the bill would provide for
the admission as states of the two
territories, but not until after con-
stitution had been adopted by them,
approved by the president and rat1-
fed by congress.
Much apprehension has been felt
that the bill would tie up in con-
ference in the house, but during the
discussion much was said to dissipate
that fear. 1t came in connection with
a speech by Senator Nelson and in
responses by Democratic senator's.
The Minnesota senator declared he
would do all that he could to bring
about an agreement with the house
during the present session. Senators
Carter and Borah concurred in this
view.
Under the bill as amended by the
senate it might be two and half
years before the statehood law would
become operative and the house con-
ferees want to shorten the time to
the spring of 1911.

THE NEWER EDUCATION.

The relation of the larger UNIVERSE
ties of the United States to the practi-
cal problems of existence is being en-
phasiZed in an astonishing degree
nowadays, says Chicago Tribune. If
the notion of clustered halls where
pale-faced students pored over musty
tones once held sway, that idea has
entirely disappeared. The dominant
thought appears to be. how can the
training of the schools be made most
useful in lettering the conditions of
human life. The University of Wiscon-
sin, for example, has been rendering
great service to the people Of our
neighboring commonwealth through it's
municipal reference bureau. Recog-
MIXING the activity in the field of city
administration, It has collected infor-
nation from all available sources, and
is now ready to send out material on
such subjects as sewage disposal, wa
ter supply and publication, street
sprinkling and cleaning, the smoke
nuisance, parks and Fairgrounds, care
of trees, the commission form of gov
eminent, public utilities and public
service rates, civic centers and art
commissions. The statement that one
mornings mail brought inquiries from
city officials in nine different common
wealths indicates the Importance of
such university work.

JAMES A. PATTEN INDICTED |
COTTON KING CHARGED WITH
ANTITRUST LAW VIOLATION.
Bill Against Men Who Conducted Re-
cent Bull Pool-Each Gives
$4,000 Bond.

New York.-The special federal
grand jury Friday returned indict-
ments against James A. Patten, the
Chicago speculator, and seven others
alleged to have been associated with
him in the cotton pool. They are
charged with having violated the
criminal clause of the antitrust law.
Their bail was fixed at $4,000 each
by Judges Hough. All of them gave
bond through the National Surety
company and were Immediately re-
leased.
The men indicted are: James A.
Patten of Chicago, w. P. Brown of
New Orleans, Frank B Hayne of New
Orleans, Eugene c. Scales of Texas.
Sidney ]. Herman, Robert M. Thomp-
son and Charles A. Kittle of New
York, Morris R. Rothschild of Missis.

The indictments were handed up to
Judge Hough in the United States cir
cult court. The defendants were rep
resented by former United States Sen.
ator John G. Spooner, Henry Wellman
and Joseph P. Cotton.
Col. Robert M. Thompson, one of
the indicted men, was strongly urged
for secretary of the navy when Presi
dent Taft was forming his cabinet
He is a South Carolinan and for
years was prominent in the politics OF
that state before he was brought tC
New York to occupy an important pc
sition with the New York Life Insur
ance company.
The investigation, which resulted in
the indictments was begun April IS
at the direct order of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. 1t will be recalled
that all through the sensational rise
in the cotton market last winter, Mr.
Patten' and the men associated with
him in the bull movement, took advan
tage of every occasion to deny that
they had formed an agreement of any
sort. This will be their defense wher
their cases are called for trial next
fall.

ROYAL WELCOME
FOR ROOSEVELT
Vast Thong Greets the Former

and Non-Partisan.
New York.-He has come back!

New York.-He has come back!
Theodore Roosevelt returned to
his native land June Is, and was given
a welcome home such as was never
before accorded to a citizen of this
republic. The whole country joined
In it, and 1t was SO spontaneous and
so utterly non-partisan that 1t could
not but be most flattering to the for
mer president.
Since emerging from the African
jungle the latter part of March, Mr.
Roosevelt has been the guest Of near.
ly every European ruler and almost
unprecedented honors have been
heaped on him. The reception by
his fellow citizens was fitting eli
max to his triumphal tour and must
have been the most satisfactory event
connected with it.
FlotiIIa Meets Him at Quarantine.
More than a month ago every avail
able craft in New York harbor had
been engaged for the day, and nu-
merous big organizations, like the Re-

publican club of New York and the
Hamilton club of Chicago, had char
tered regular coast line steamers.
Early in the morning this immense
fiotilla sailed far down the bay, and
when, about o'clock, the scouting
tugs and motor boats came flying in
with the word that the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria was approaching, all
made ready for the first greeting.
AS the big liner came into sight, ev-
cry whistle on every vessel was tied
open and shrieked the welcome to the
returning wanderer. Colonel Roose-
Welt, with Mrs. Roosevelt and Ker-
NIT by his side, stood on the deck,
waving his hand and smiling the ia
miliar smile, and the waiting thou
sands cheered him again and again.
Reception Committee Takes Him.
At Quarantine the necessary for
malities were quickly over and the
official reception committee took the
colonel and his party aboard it's rev.
enue cutter. That vessel at once
started up the harbor and all the gaily
decorated craft, filed with clubs and
private parties, fell In behind and
formed a most spectacular water pa
rade. On almost every boat was a
band, and all the way the musicians
played at the top Of their lungs. The
shores were black with people who
shouted their greetings to Teddy
as he passed and the factories and
mills added the noise of their whis-
ties to the general din.
So it went all the way up to Twen-
ty-third street, where the parade
turned and made it's way back to the
Battery. At that historic spot at the
lower end of Manhattan island Col
onel Roosevelt landed to receive the
formal welcome home.
Welcomed by Mayor Gaynor.

terry park were 200 distinguished

Advice by an energetic, efficient
business man to a man now going
back to work after tired out spell:
Take things easier and get more
fyesh air. No worry. Do the most i'm
portant thing first and then the next;
generally the things you don't do
aren't worth doing What you think
you ought to do you want to do up to
the handle and do it quick and then
forget it. Don't putter. The way to
get along. in my judgment, is to work
up to the limit for certain number
oil hours and then stop. A man can get
further ia the long run walking three
and q half miles an hour for eight
hours out of each twenty-four than he
can going two miles an hour for six
teen hours in twenty-four. The first
way he can keep going and improve;

guests, including senators, represents
atives, ambassadors and close per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Roosevelt. Sur
rounding this enclosure was another
reserved space which was occupied by
about $500 prominent men and men,
bers of the big reception committee.
The cheering and music were al
most continuous as the colonel en-
tered the park, but finally quiet was
restored and Mayor Gaynor stepped
forward and delivered cordial ad"
dress of welcome on behalf of the ma
ton and the city. Mr.. Roosevelt re-
sponded briefly but feelingly, and
short speeches were made by several
other prominent men. Much as he
would have liked to be present to
greet his predecessor, President Taft
was kept away on account of his off,
cial position and by previous en-
gagement.
Parade Through the City.
When the speech making was over,
the parade through the city streets
started. 1t was originally intended
to conclude the reception with a mon
ster parade, and invitations were is
sued to various organizations through
out the country Within few days,
however, the committee was Eooded
with so many applications that the
parade feature had TO be in part aban'
doned. Organizations from Maine to
California and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes requested places In tho
line of march, and If the project had
been carried out, the procession would
have extended from the Battery to
the Harlem river and back again, q
distance of 20 miles, and the people
who had travelled hundreds of miles
to see Roosevelt would have been de-
prived of the pleasure. In order to
overcome this obstacle so that no one
would be offended, a unique arrange.
ment was adopted by the cor nittee.
All organizations that wished to par
ticipate in the parade were assigned

certain blocks along the line OF
blocks were assigned to some visiting
club, and the next to the public, and
so on.
The procession itself was compare
lively small and was led by the mount.
ed police of New York, who were fol-,
lowed by the police band on foot.
Then came the escort of 500 Rough
Riders under the command of Robert
Hunter of Oklahoma city, president
of the organization. Colonel Roose-
welt came next in a carriage, and his
carriage was followed by a long pro-
cession of vehicles containing the
members Of the committee and the
speakers.
The procession made its way up
Broadway to Fourth street where It
turned into Fifth avenue and pro-
ceeded up that thoroughfare to Fifty
ninth street, where 1t disbanded. The
route was lined with visiting orgaEiza-
tons, and their bands struck up as
the procession approached and con-
tinued until it had passed by.
In order that Mrs. Roosevelt might
share in her husbands honors and
view the procession from an advan-
tageous point, Mrs. Donald Mclean,
president of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, had cabled her
an invitation to be the guest of honor
at luncheon at Sherry's rendered by
prominent members of various fe-
male organizations. Following the
parade, Mr.. Roosevelt joined his fam
lily and little later went to his Long
island home,

There is alway~ room higher up for
the young American who has the tai
ent and the disposition to win. Few
enlisted men in the navy rise to COM

cured by proper effort. One of these
rare cases is reported from Annapolis,
where Frederick M. Earl of North

Naval academy as a midshipman, and

will receive his diploma and become

with such pluck and energy he will

Wild Beasts Escape From Cages
Country People Are Terrorized-
Many Employees Hurt.

Ebensburg, Pa.-The Frank A. Rob
bins circus train, composed OF 10
cars, was wrecked Thursday mile
from here on the Cambria & Cresson
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Two lions, an elephant, one leopard,
one hyena, one jaguar, and an ibex
are reported to be at large as result.
Many circus employees were in
jured. The more seriously hurt
were taken to hospitals in Altoona.
At the scene of the wreck low
bridge spans a deep gully. AS the
train passed over the bridge three OF
the wagons which contained the anil
mails struck low-hanging Orders and
were overturned. The cars carrying
the wagon cages were derailed and
thrown over the embankment leading
to tie bridge.
The entire country for miles around
is in a state of terror. Many Of the
farmers and their families refuse to
leave their homes and take up the
search for the liberated menagerie
beasts.
