DEPARTMENT WORK
TO BE REMODELED

Beverly, Mass, August 2.-President
Taft today took the first steps in a
plan for bringing about greater business
efficiency In the different departments of
the government and thus effecting wide
economies by sending to washington four
sets of experts, who are to make a parli-
amentary study of the situation and sub
NIT programme for carrying forward
the work.
The President has been given an ap-
preparation of S100, 200 for the purpose of
reorganizing departmental methods This
Is the first time that President of the
United States has had an appropriation
to make inquiries of the kind now con-
templated
In connection with the beginning of the
work, the following statement was given
out at the executive office: .The sundry
civil bill for the fiscal year 1911 contained
the following appropriation: To enable
the President by the employment of ac-
countants and experts from official and
private life to effectively inquire into
the methods of transacting the public bus
mess of the government In the several
executive departments and other govern
ment establishments with a view of in
auguarating new, or changing old meth
ods of transacting such public business
so as to attain great efficiency and
economy therein and to ascertain and rec
ommend to Congress what changes in law
may be necessary to carry into effect
such results OF his inquiry as cannot be
carried into effect by executive action
alone and for this purpose including the
employment of personal services in Wash
ington. D. c., or elsewhere, 100000 Is
appropriated"

GAINS IN KANSAS

Topeka, Kans., August AT midnight
tonight indications pointed to a decisive
insurgent gain in Kansas The nomina-
ton of Gov. w. r. Stubbs, who linked
his fortunes with those of the insur-
gent candidates for Congress, Is practi-
cally assured. Running close to him is
r. j. Hopkins, an insurgent candidate
for lieutenant governor.
The outcome in the First congressional
district is still in doubt. with the friends
of D. r. Anthony, standpat candidate,

Practically no returns have come In
from the Second district, though meager
reports place A. c. Mitchell, an insur-
gent, in the lead.
In the Third district p. F. Campbell,
the incumbent, is running ahead of Ar
thur Cranston, an insurgent, and the in
dications are that he will be nominated,
In the Fourth district the insurgents

ing Fred Jackson and defearlng j. M.
Miller, standpat man.
In the Fifth district claims are made
on meager returns that r. r. Reese, an

head. standpat candidate, the incumbent.

doubt. In the Sixth district the result

LIVELY TINES in
STATE or IOWA

Des Moines. Ia, August 2.-Politics
liminary to the republican state con-
vention tomorrow. Tonight a dark line
may be seen dividing the standpatters
and the progressives.
On one side of the line the standpat-
ters gathered several hundred strong to-
day and decided to insist on a plank
indorsing President Taft and the official
acts of his administration and of the
recent congress, and to indorse the Iowa
insurgent delegation only in so far as
1t has been regular. In other words, sup
ported the administration on the tariff
and railroad legislation.
On the other side the progressive lead
ers contend that Taft should be men
tioneo only to the extent that he has
endeavored to carry out the planks of
the national republican platform.
The standpatters decided to insist on
an Endorsement of Gov Carroll The in
surgents agreed to an Endorsement of
the state administration without men
tioning the governors name
Both meetings were enthusiastic. At
the standpat meeting former Congress
man Lacey sounded the keynote: Let
us fight" he said, land IL the steam
roller passes over us, let us go down
to defeat carrying the flag of true re-
publicanism with us while the majority
who vote US down bear the load of hay
ing refused specigc Endorsement of a
great republican president, who has
carried out every promise of the repub-
lican party. We must remember two
things-first, that it is necessary that
Iowa go republican, and second the most
important, it is necessary that the re-
publican party go republican"

CASE AGAINST
FIRM COMPLETE

Washington, August 2.-(Special)-A
nouncement by the postoffice department
today that it had practically completed its
case against a now defunct firm former
ly operating at Corinth, Miss, In al
legged fraudulent bills of lading of cot
ton shipped abroad, indicated that postal
officials may be expected to discourage
such practices. In the case discussed
1t is charged drafts attached to bills
of lading were wrongfuuy manipulated
through a system of misdating and the
monies dishonesty gained are said to
have aggregated many hundred thou
sand dollars The case made against the
disrupted Mississippi firm revived inter-
est in disclosures in the Knight, Yancey
& Co. affair
1t is to be expected that the announce
ment of today, reviving the story of the
manipulations by the Corinth firm, will
corroborate the demand for bill of
lading upon which foreign bankers and
buyers can depend. The Stevens bill, in
troduced during the last session, pro-
vided one that was approved by bankers
and cotton men all over the south and In
the east, too, but after passage by the
house it died. It's chief principle was re-
quirement that bills of lading could not
issue before receipt of the entirety Of the
shipment for which it was made, except
In certain cases where due notice of de-
ficiency was given and duplication OF
bills indicated.

HORNET ON HER WAY
TO BLUEFIELDS

New Orleans, August 2.-After devoting
the greater part of the day to hearing
the case of Capt. w. o. Moon, master
of the converted yacht Hornet, the Unit
ed States commissioner at New Orleans
decided that the local representatives of
the Madriz government of Nicaragua
had presented no evidence to show that
Captain Moon contemplated violating
the neutrality laws of the United States
Captain Moon was released and the case
dismissed.
During the hearing 1t developed that
the Hornet had been chartered by Will
liam Adler and others for the Bluefelds
trade. Adler Is the erstwhile president
of the now defunct State National bank
of New Orleans, and Is out on bail pend
ing an appeal from the lower courts
sentence of six years in the federal
prison at Atlanta for misuse of the
banks funds. He was convicted of this
charge following his return from Hon
duras, where he sought refuge when
shipwrecked during his fight from New
Orleans.
When the case against Captain Moon
was called today, P. Mohn, who swore
out the warrant against Moon, could not
be found A subpoena was issued, but
1t developed that there is no such ad-
dress as the one Mohn gave when he
swore to the affidavit which tied up the
little ship which the Madriz people al
Iege is intended for use in Estrada s
navy.
Following the discharge of Captain
Moon, clearance papers were issued to
the Hornet. and the vessel sailed from
here tonight for Bluefields. large part
of It's cargo consisted of arms and am
munition.
