Concerning Corn Starch.

From its extreme delicacy 1t will
take the full flavor of every kind OF
seasoning" says the oldest manufao
turers of corn starch, or prepared
corn" on their package. There are
other similar facts that make this an
excellent puddin~ constituent.
Our buildings must have some basis
flour, bread, corn starch, tapioca,
and so forth. Those made of corn
starch are particularly well suited to
summer fastidiousness.
Corn starch took the place of the
older cooking material, arrowroot,
and, like that preparation, makes,
with milk, excellent simple dishes for
child, invalid or anyone of delicate
stomach.
The claim that it is the most deli
cious of all the preparations for pud-
dings, custards, etc, and for every pur-
pose for which Bermuda arrowroot was
and is employed goes undisputed in
many households.
1t is preferable because 1t is lighter
and daintier. The combination of milk
and corn starch is one to recommend;
both of these have the highest food
value.

GOVERNORS CLASH
STUBBS OF KANSAS WOULD
KICK BALLlNGER OUT
OF OFFICE.
DENEEE RAPS LEGISLATURE
Says Illinois Body of Lawmakers is
Below Par and Hints at Drainage
Canal Power Project. Governor
Norris Defends Rallnger.

st. Paul-The immense crowd
which heard President Taft deliver
one of the best speeches of his ca
reer before the conservation con-
gress here missed hearing some point
ed remarks delivered by Gov. Stubs
of Kansas.
The Kansas executive pulled his
sleeves up to give his arms full
swing, loosened his necktie to give
play to his vocal organs, and pro-
ceeded to remark that if he had the
power he would kick Secretary Bal
linger out of office.
AS he made this assertion, the
most sensational of the day, he
glared at those spectators who had
not followed the president to the
state fair grounds, and then sur
veyed the other governors who were
on the platform. Later, in private,
Gov. Hay of Washington took occa-
sion to inform Gov. Stubs that he
considered Secretary Ballinger as
white a man as the United States
can boast.
1.-The people of this country should
erect a monument to Clifford Pin
chot," began Gov. Stubs. He de-
serves it for saving the coal lands of
the country, if for nothing else. /
do not know why it is that corpora
lions and others that want to steal
power sites and timber wants control
of natural resources vested in state
legislatures. Any way, l do not
take any stock in this Ballinger idea
of running things. If l were presi-
dent of the United States | would
kick him out of Office in a minute.
I'd like to see some of these Alaska
coal thieves. I'd put them where
they belong"
This brief but pointed address, de-
livered in vitriolic style, was called
forth by remarks by Gov. Norris of
Montana who, in advocating state
control of natural resources, de-
clared that Montana had begun the
conservation of her resources before
the federal government ever began
to think of it.
Gov. Stubs acted as chairman of
the session When the meeting was
over Gov. Hay walked down the
aisle with him.
81 want to say, Gov. Stubs, that
you're no whittier man than Richard
A. Ballinger,' observed the Wash
ington leader. To this Mr.. Stubs
made no reply, and Land Commits
sioner Ross, also of Washington,
joined Mr.. Hay.
II want to add" said Mr.. Ross,
chat Mr. Ballinger is as white a
man as Roosevelt ever had in his
cabinet; that's what we think of
Mr.. Ballinger out in Washington. :"
II said what | think about Ballin-
ger and I'll say what l please about
him." answered Gov. Stubs
Gov. Deneen came out for national
control, and in doing so briefly re-
ferred to the scandals which have
arisen concerning legislation.
1--WE have a legislature in ILL
nois,'' he said, that has held both
regular and irregular sessions. AT
present it is somewhat below par"
This sally was greeted with laugh
ter.
Gov. Norris says the Montana
legislature can be trusted added
Mr.. Deneen. I'm sorry I can't say
the same about ours in Illinois"

COMPLETES ER-WATER TRIP
Curtiss Beats Fast Mail Train In
Sixty-Mile Fight Against Ad-
verse Winds.

Observation-Disclosures chapter in the
conquest of the air was written by
Glenn H. Curtiss and his Hudson
flyer, when he flew from Cedar Point
to Euclid Beach, circled about above
a huge crowd for perhaps three min
utes and landed gracefully, all in one
hour and forty-one minutes.
The aviator insists he travelled 70
miles in his flight to Cedar Point and
a like distance on his return, though
the geological survey Office here fig
ures the flight at 81 miles and a slight
fraction.
At all events, Curtiss established a
record for a distance flight entirely
over water-two records in fact, for
each of the flights was longer than
any other fight entirely over water.
The biplane battled with stiff
gale for 80 miles, the speed being re-
tarded till only an average of 40
miles an hour was possible. At that
the machine outdistanced a Lake
Shore train aboard which were Mrs.
Curtiss and Aviators Ely and Mars.

STIR IS CAUSED BY WHITE
Tells of New 100000 Bride Fund in
the Famous Illinois Senatorial
Bribery Case.

Chicago.-A sensation was created
in the Lee O'Neil Browne trial
Wednesday when the name of Edward
Hull of Peoria was mentioned in con-
nection with an alleged request tele-
graphed from Springfield for 100000
two days before the election of Sena-

conversation they had in which White
asked Rossell where the money came

heard of a telegram being sent to

have been exhausted and the strikers
are in an ugly mood.
Collisions with the police, gen.

ly occurring.
Many factories are being closed and
the work in the harbor has been
wholly suspended. Dock employees who
are on strike have issued an appeal to
their foreign colleagues asking the
latter to refuse to handle merchan-
disc intended for shipment here.
The government declared Bilbao in
a state of siege. This action was
taken after consideration at Madrid of
the rioting that has taken place there
as a result of the strike.
A Gordon of soldiers has been
thrown about the city to prevent the
entry of strikers from other districts

ACCUSED OF THEFT
ALLEGATIONS MADE EDWARD C..
RITSHER TOOK MONEY RUN.
MING INTO THOUSANDS.
BEL0IT COLLEGE IS VICTIM
Said to Have Been MuIcted of $4,000
Money Sunk in Wall Street
Client and Partners Lose-Suicide
Is Hinted At.


Chicago.-Edward c. Ritsher. per-
sonal counsel for John r. Walsh dur
ing his fight against government
prosecution and who died last June, is
accused of being a defaulter to the
extent of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The accusation made public Thurs
day comes upon the people of Chicago
as suddenly as did the news of the
death of John R. Walsh's favorite
counselor. The charges which attack
the good name of the dead lawyer are
many-branched and involve double
dealing with his law partners, appro-
priating a fee from one of them, en-
bezzling from Beloit college trust
funds, OF which he had the custody,
and robbing Mr.. Walsh at the time
when he was the most trusted con-
fidant in the defense of the banker
Trustees of Beloit college, of which
Ritsher was custodian of securities,
and the deceased attorneys legal as
soctates decided to suffer whatever
losses they may have sustained in
silence and not to air the charges
against the noted lawyer.
Discovery of Ri.sher's alleged
duplictty was made shortly before his
death. While in New York he was
summoned to Chicago by his partners
and asked to make restitution and ex-
PLANTATION. Ritsher left New York.
making an appointment to meet his
partners in Chicago. He arrived here
two or three days before the date
Of the appointment. He died sud
denly. within less than twenty-four
hours of the time set for his meeting
Here are some Of the allegations
that are made 7gainst the dead attor-
ney:
That securities belonging to Beloit
college and valued at 1927 900. which
were in Ritshers keeping, disap-
peared. John R. Walsh came to thu
rescue, giving Ritsher $4,000, which
was turned over to the college
Ritsher then gave a note for 100000
to the college secured by 10 of his
best friends.
That, after Ritsher's law firm had
done a vast amount of work on the
Walsh case, his partners asked IL
some financial return could not be OBJ
tanned, and Ritsher told them that
Walsh was hard up" and could not
give them any money at the time
Walsh. however, had paid him a fee
of $4,000 and an additional fee of
$50, 900, which Ritsher concealed from
his partners.
That Ritsher converted to his own
use the securities given by Mr.. Walsh
to secure the two notes of $685. 900.
That Ritsher "iouble-crossed" his
client, John R. Walsh When arrange
ments were being made for swearing
out the writ of certiorari in the United
States Supreme court Walsh gave his
note for $4,000, and with it $4,000
worth of securities as collateral. At
the same time he made out a note for
s25, 900, payable to John S. Miller, an
other of his attorneys, and gave
Ritsher $4,000 worth Of securities for
the note which the attorney was to
turn over to Miller.
