Francis e. Leupp. in Schribner's,
discusses the campaign for an honest
standard of weights and measures, in
which the government of the United
States, in pursuit of its conservation
policy. is now concerning itself The
policy of conservation. broadly inter-
preted, means the avoidance of waste,
whether in large or In little things,
and so this is why one committee in
congress is interesting itself in mann
moth coal deposits and priceless water
sources. while another has before it
a bill to fix the size OF berry basket
It follows. therefore, the writer says,
that the conservation Of human energy
by minimizing its wanton expenditure
is as important in a way as the pro-
lection Of q mineral bed or a spring
fed lake. For example, every straw
berry sent from Florida to Massa-
chusetts must be repacked before Of
fered for sale. because. while ship
per can ship in any box or basket that
he prefers, Massachusetts prescribes
the size exposed in the markets. This
explains in a general way why con-
gress is guessing to devise q uniform
standard
Formerly the office of weights and
measures in Washington occupied q
small space in the coast survey build
ing, and its chief beneficiaries were
the custom houses and mints. Today
1t is an important part of the bureau
Of standards and is equipped with
laboratories and machinery and prac-
tically with every quality OF matter
which in scientific research and the
practice of useful arts calls for ac-
curate definition.

Washington Following ex-Presi
dent Roosevelts praise of the work
being done by the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, G. Grosvenor Daw, man
aging director of the Southern Com
mercial Congress, sent letters to each
of the sixteen governors of the South

ten representative business men from
their respective states, to meet in At
lanta, Ca, next October for the pur-
pose of holding a conference concern
ing the plans of the congress and to
go over the details of the general
meeting of the congress, which is to
be held in March, 1911, in Atlanta.
About 200 Southern captains of in
dustry will be present at the confer
ence. 1t is proposed to develop plans
at this conference for the following
March meeting which will make that
assemblage the greatest gathering OF
business men ever held. Ex-President
Roosevelt will address the March

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION
Commissioner Valentine Makes List
of Fees Paid Attorneys in Indian
Matters During Past 10 Years.

Sulphur, Okla.-In response to re-
fairs Valentine, the special congress
sional committee investigating Indian
land affairs Wednesday forwarded to
Beverly, Mass, a statement covering
the amount of attorneys fees paid
by the Indians. The statement was
Taft The statement covers a period
of twenty years and embraces money
paid out as contingent fees. 1t shows
the total money so paid was $685.
304.54. Among the largest fees was
$7S9,000, paid b ythe Chickasaw In
dams to recover $2,S5S,79S. he New
Work Indians paid $240,S43 to recover
less than 100000. The astern Cher
okees paid fee of $4,000. In some
instances the fees paid were as high
as 20 per cent. of the property in
volved.
The request to the committee for
the figures is taken as indicating that
President Taft has decided to inter-
est himself in the present investiga-
ton, which grew out of Senator t. P.
Cores charges of attempted bribery.
The contracts now held by J. F. Nc.
Murray call for 107per cent. fee
for the sale of $3O,000,O00 worth of
land in this state. In presenting the
figures before the committee, Repre-
sentative Philip Campbell of Kansas
said:
1T is rather a startling condition
of affairs that such an amount of
money was paid by the Indians to
American lawyers, when the govern
ment itself is the guardian of the In
dams"

PAYS Church to Advertise.

Il have drawn people to hear my
sermons by advertising. have at
tracted them with moving pictures,
hot suppers, pink teas and flowers and
flags If have had any degree Of
success in Spokane 1t is because of
the liberal use of printers ink" says
Rev. DR.. James w. Kramer, pastor of
the First Baptist church, who came to
Spokane from South Carolina two
years ago.
There Is something worse than sem
sationalism. 1t is the inability of the
church to produce life. The church
that does not advertise is behind the
times and is nursing empty pews, and
he who rails against the minister for
advertising is suffering for congre-
cation.
Il am not an advocate of ragtime
methods or vulgar preaching, but do
plead for the church which is hum
ming plant of machinery, with live
Goals In the firebox, smoke curling
from the stack and every belt. wheel
and pulley going.
II believe, too, that the people need
instruction and that minister of the
gospel is, first, last and all the time,

ARREST |. C. GRAFTERS
HARTMAN, EWING AND TAYLOR
WILL BE PROSECUTED.
General Manager and General Super
intendent Charged With Con-
spiracy and Fraud.

Chicago, Ill.-Three ex-officials for
merly high in the management of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company
were arrested Friday in connection
with the alleged huge frauds by which
the road claims to have been defraud-
ed out of $1,500,000. The men ar
rested were:
Frank B. Hartman, former general
manager of the road.
Charles T. Ewing, former manager
of lines north of the Ohio river.
John M. Taylor, former general
storekeeper of the road.
The warrants are sworn to by Pres
ident Harahan of the railroad COM
pany concerned. They charge the
three men with conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the railroad by false pre-
lenses and with operating conf
dence game.
The allegations In the so-called graft
cases are among the most sensational
ever made against nrgn officials of a
great corporation. The investigation
began over year ago. 1t reached a
crisis last spring when President Har.
ahan began action to recover sums
said to aggregate more than $1,000.
600, alleged to have been secured by
car repair companies in connivance
with high officials of the road.
Hartman, Ewing, Taylor and q
large number of others Of lesser mag
nitude resigned their positions. Much
Of the money is said to have been re-
paid privately. The name of Ira E.
Rawn, vice-president of the road, who
resigned to become president of the
Monon and who was found dead re-
Gently at his home with bullet
wound in his breast, was brought into
the scandal. Murray Nelson, Jr., at
torney for the Illinois Central, stated
that Rawn'su death headed off war
rants which would have been issued
for him.

M'MURRAY GOT MUCH MONEY
Indians Allowed Him Fat Fees and
an Expense Account.

Sulphur, Okla.-It was brought out
In the testimony of j. F. McMurray be-
fore the congressional committee in
vestigating Indian land affairs Friday
that he held as many as half dozen
contracts with the Indians for legal
services, all covering the same period
of time.
Mr.. McMurray testified, under ques-
tioning, that for general services he
had two contracts with the Chicka-
saws at $4,000 year each; two with
the Choctaws at $4,000 a year each;
another contract for special services
at fee of $15,500, only $4,000 of which
was paid; yearly expense allowance
of $2,700 under one contract and one
other general expenses amounting to
100000. All of this money was in adj
dition to the $750,00O allowed his Jaw
firm as a contingent fee in what are
knowns as the citizenship cases, and
in addition also to the contracts by
which he now seeks to obtain 10 per
cent, or $3,000,00O as a contingent fee
on the sale of $90,OO0,O00 worth of
asphalt and coal lands.

PERFORMS A PERlLOUS FEAT
American Aviator Carries Passenger
Across the English Channel.

Deal, England.-It has been re-
served for an American citizen to per-
form one of the most daring feats in
the history of aviation. John B. Mois-
SAINT of Chicago flew across the Eng
lish channel from Calais to Tilman-
stone Wednesday with a passenger,
and by this achievement far surpassed
feats of Blierot, De Lesseps and the
unfortunate English aviator, Rolls,
who met his death at Bournemouth.
The two-man flight from France to
England was the more astonishing
from the fact that it was only a month
ago that Moissant learned to fly, and
he made so few flights and was so
little known among air men that even
his nationality was not disclosed. He
was reput edto be a Spaniard.
To make the feat still more sur
prising, Moissant was totally ignorant
of the geology of his course. He hao
never been in England and was
obliged to rely entirely on the com.
pass while the crossing of the chan
mel was accomplished in the teeth OF
a strong westerly wind.

Chicago.-These were the causes
and remedies expressed unanimously
by delegates to the convention of the
United Master Butchers of Amer
lea, which is affiliated with the inter-
national organization of Master Butch
ers of the World. The organization
has more than million members,
who are retail butchers, exclusive of
grocers that sell meats.
John H. Schoffield, secretary of the
national organization, laid the cause
of high prices at the door of the farm
er, whom he said is too hasty about
slaughtering cattle, hogs and lambs.
1.-THE farmer must be encouraged to
raise live stock or the United States
will lose it's grip as the live stock
country of the world. The only solu-
ton that can see at the present time
Is the accumulation of large tracts of
land by corporation for the produc-
ton of live stock. The farmer of to-
day is different from that of years
ago. He is becoming lax in his duties.
He is educating his children and send
ing them to the city, thus taking la
Dor from the farm. The city bred per-
son does not want to work on the
farm and farm labor is scarce. The
price he can get for cereal products
pays him better than feeding live
stock and he does not bother with
live stock production.

Welded IN HER NIGHT ROBE
Georgia Society Girl EIopes In Wee
SWa' Hours.

Atlanta, Ga.-Clad only in her night
gown and stockings, Miss Columbia
Cheek, a prominent member of Allan.
tas younger social set, was married
at 3 O'Clock Tuesday morning to Guy
H. Buchanan. The girls parents bit
terly opposed the match. Miss Cheeks
parents learned that the lovers planned
to elope, and they locked the girl in
her room, after taking away her
clothes. Buchanan heard of his sweet
hearts predicament, and after mid
night went in an auto to the Cheek
home. By throwing pebbles against
the window he attracted the girls at
tention and found her willing to elope.
By means of step ladder, Miss Cheek
descended from her room, was placed
in the auto and hurried to the rectory
Of Emmanuel Baptist Church. Rev.
w. L. Gilmore was aroused at 8
o'clock, and quickly made the lovers
husband and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Blu
chanan went to hotel, rang up the
Cheek home and told of the marriage.
In short while the brides trunks
came, accompanied with a blessing.
