GOVERNOR BARRED
FROM A FUNERAL

Milford, Mass, Feb. 8.-The feud be-
tween the Draper brothers, Of Hope
dale, and their wives was carried to
the very brink of rhe grave. The alb
scnce of Governor Eben S. Draper and
his brother, George Albert Draper, at
the funeral Of General William F. Ora

TAFT GIVES FAT JOB
TO FOE OF ROOSEVELT
Notorious Ormsby McHarg
Lands $4,000 Billet From
Administration.

Washington, Feb. 9.--Ormsby Nc
Harg, whose retirement from public
service last fall as assistant secretary
OF IN and labor, was character
lied by q vicious attack on ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and a glowing defense
of Secretary Ballinger, has been made
attorney for the Choctaw Indians, at a
salary Of $12, 200.
This contract was entered into be-
tween McHarg and the Choctaws last
year, and, i'm due course of time, went
VI to Secretary Ballinger for approval.
The secretary, however, did not ap-
prove the contract, but referred 1t to
President Taft, with a letter that did
not injure McHarg's case any. At the
interior department 1t was said today
that the Choctaws have some matters
pending which require attention and
for that reason IL was believed neces-
sary to approve their contract for the
services of an attorney. 1t is under-
stood that Mr.. McHarg will have his
headquarters In New York, where he
has recently embarked upon the prac-
tice Of law.
Ormsby McHarg was appointed to
office from North Dakota and was a
supporter of Mr.. Taft. He gave out
an interview saying the conservation
policy of President Roosevelt was too
dream-like ever to be of practical value
and that ''only the Lord himself" could
have carried 1t out. Mr.. McHarg then
went so far as to say that Mr.. Roose-
welt considered himself the equal Of
the worker OF miracles. Coming from
an Official, this was very improper, and
McHarg was soon out of a lob. He
denied he was fired,

Treasurer Frank p. Glazier. OF Chel-

Mason today to serve. not less than five
nor more than 10 years in prison for
Incorporating $685., 900 Of state funds.
Glazier controlled a bank at Chelsea
which failed In December. 1907, and the
money had been deposited in this bank
contrary to law.
As the judge concluded the sentence
Glazier swooned, and his wife. who en-
deavored to assist him to his feet. in
her excitement also fell. Two daugh-
tiers, hurrying to the aid of their
parents only added to the confusion by
falling upon the floor.
Excitement was intense, but 1t was
soon seen that none Of the Glazier fam
lily We're seriously i'll. All of them were
assisted to their feet and Glazier was
led across the street to the Jail to
await the completion of the commit
ment papers sending him to prison.

New York, Feb. 5.--Bradstreet's to-
Gay says.
Trade in general displays a certain
degree OF quietness, not, by the way,
unusual at this time. a between season
period, but in several quarters there is
q greater disposition to act conserva-
lively in the matter Of purchase. For
n thing, the agitation for lower
prices tends to the belief that quota.
lions may recede to more attractive
levels and at the same time some large
interests seem to fear inimical action
from the federal authorities at Wash
ington. There Is some uneasiness over
laber matters. demands actual and
prospective for higher wages being
plentiful. In some cases increased
wages have been granted, but the chief
interests, the railways, do not see their
way clear to allow the employees re-
quest.
The outlook for distributive trade is
good, though the demand naturally
shows a relative recession from the
high marks established in December.
while far distant trade is slow to de-
velop, pending a clearer view Of crop
other conditions.
Business failures for the week end
ing with February 3 in the United
States were 242, against 295 last week,
2S6 in the like week of 1909, 272 in 1908,
1913 in 1907 and 204 in 1906.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 80. against 43 last week,
and AZ in the like week of 1909.
K. G. Dun's weekly review Of trade
says today:
Industrial and mercantile conditions,
though irregular. on the whole are very
satisfactory, with promising spring
outlook. The event Of this week has
been the great weakness in securities.
The failure record has beer greatly
expanded in amounts involved during
the past month, but the record seems
worse than 1t really Is because its big
total OF liabilities is due to a hand
full OF large defaults, chiefly by broker
age firms. The record, nevertheless.
has a depressing effect. 1t is difficult
to discover any material falling off in
the volume Of trade. although 1t is
undoubtedly true that there Is less of
the tremendous push of two or three
months ago. While there has been no
return to the remarkable activity Of a
few months ago, current consumption
OF iron n steel continues in heavy
volume, n all leading producers are
busily engaged in filling contracts on
their ook There has been some
sl~ackening OF demand in a few finished
lines, as have ample stocks
and buy con~servatively as a result.
but on The who'll orders for materials
are numerous, although for smaller
amounts than Of late.

SERVED TO TEDDY

Washington, Feb. S.-That bad beef,
some of IL ready to fall to pieces, was
served at the White House during
President Roosevelt's occupancy, was
the testimony OF District Food Inspec-
tor Dodge today, before the House
committee engaged in investigating the
high cost of living in the District Of
columbia.
Mr.. Dodge said 1t was the custom Of
a steward at the White House to buy
Ia quarter of beef and hang 1t up until
pc was ripe, or ready to fall to pieces"
as the inspector described II, when it
would be cut up and served on the
White House table. Members Of the
committee expressed disgust over Mr..
lodges revelations.
Further, Inspector Dodge testified,
many wealthy people Of the national
capital. were acusctomed to eat from
choice meat that had turned black and
was well on the road to decomposition,
because IL was more tender.
He related an incident OF one of his
visits to a fashionable Washington
market, where he found a quarter OF
beef. black and apparently unfit for
human food. He condemned it, and
was about to pour kerosene over IL
when the proprietor interfered and told
MIN he had many wealthy customers
always ordered from such pieces
|of meat.
While the inspector was present q.
iootman from a wealthy family came
ln and ordered a cut from the piece
which he had condemned.

kentucky, who asked Inspector Dodge
lt this class OF meat was kept in the
same cooler with beef intended for
civilized people" The inspector re-
piled IL was.

FAIRBANKS CLASHES
WITH THE CATHOLICS
Former Vice President Stands
by Methodists and Foregoes
Seeing Pontiff.

Rome, Feb. s.-The unhappy incident
which marred the visit here OF former
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks,
has been the subject OF animated dis
cussion, particularly anon members
OF the American colony.
Mr.. Fairbanks had expressed a wish
70 pay his respects to the and il
had been announced that an audience
would be granted the distinguished
American. Subsequently IL was learned
that he promised to address the
local society Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, and following the receipt OF
this information at the vatican It was
announced that Mr.. Fairbanks would
not be received by the pope unless his
purpose to address the church society

ed to keep his engagement with the
Methodists.
Today Professionals generally warmly
congratulated the former vice president

tude in the matter. The Catholics. on
the other hand, expressed regret that

Of a homage to the pontiff should have

he said. 1T will come up again while
Judge Swing is still presiding over the

sible to convict women"

indicated by Dennis Cash. assistant

AND vREELAND MIX
ON THE CENTRAL BANK

New York, Feb. 9.-Edward B. Wree-
Hand, chairman of the congressional
on banking and currency,
land Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary
|of the treasury. had a heated debate
saturday night on the subject of a
States bank.
Mr.. Shaw, speaking at the republican
club, opposed a central bank, saying
that it would be impossible to keep the
of such'a bank out of the hands
|of the men who control the Standard
|Oil company and United States Steel
corporation. or the two, he preferred
Morgan control.
Mr.. Shaw believes the remedy for
present financial ills must lie In an i'm
Eprovement on existing currency and
laws. and not in a central
bank. Chairman Vreeland approved a
bank, and the impression was
obtained that the report on currency
and banking would contain q recon-
favoring such an i~nnova-
+tion. He insisted that IL such a bank
were established safeguards would be
about II sufficiently to make
it impossible for any group Of finan-
+ciers or politicians to exercise any con-
troll over it's business.

SLAYER ENDS own
LIFE AFTER MANY
HOURS OF TERROR
Since Thursday Night He Had
Stood Of Officers Who
Sought His Arrest.

Walker, Mimi, Feb. S.-Walter J.
Mcdonald, who had beer defying the
sheriff's posse since THURSDAY night,
when he barricaded himself in his
house after shoting Howard Sexton,
committed suicide today by shooting.
Just when Mcdonald killed himself
Is not known. At about 8 o clock this
morning M. J. sitter, of Cass Lake. a
brotherinlaw, who came here last night
to take Mrs. Mcdonald away, returned
to the Mcdonald home to attempt to
induce the man to surrender to the
sheriff.
He received no response and called
the sheriff. The two entered the house
and foupd the body lying on the floor
with a p1ilet hole in the head.
Murder Over a Drink.
Sexton, who is 20 years old, n came
here from Duluth. refused to serve
Mcdonald with a drink. After an ex-
change OF words, Mcdonald walked to
his home, a block away. He returned
after a short interval, and. walking up
without a word, 1t is said. to a position
in front of Sexton, he pulled a gun
from his belt and shot into the body
of Sexton five times.
Holding the smoking gun in his hand,
Mcdonald backed the bystanders
against the wall and returned to his
home. Besides the .38-caliber revolver
with which he committed the crime. he
has a rifle and other and
plenty of ammunition.
Threatens the Posse.
Sheriff DeLury demanded his sur
render, but McDonald's only reply was
to shove a loaded rifle through a win
dow. Upon the sheriff advancing
toward the door Mcdonald shouted
he would kill him IL he stepped mother
pace.
The sheriff secured a posse of12
men, armed them with rifles and sta
toned them about the Mcdonald home,
where toda ythey are still keeping
watch.
1t was feared by some that Mcdonald
would shoot himself. after first killing
his wife, whose life he Is said to have
threatened and who was alone in the
house with him. For this reason the
posse hesitated to attack the house
Friday night. However, Mcdonald let
his brotherinlaw into the house, and,
after discussing the matter with him,
permitted his wife to leave.
