M'VEAGH FEARS NO PANIC
Banks Are Well Supplied with Money
Credit of Country Will Not
Be Disturbed.

Washington.-Secr of the
Treasury MacVeagh has no fear that
decision against the Standard Oil
Company or the tobacco trust by the
supreme court will bring on panic.
His information, CLEANED from the
leading bankers of the country, is that
the banks are well fortified with
money and even if slight disturb
ance was made by the announcement
of a decision it will not disturb the
credit of the country.
Mr.. MacVeagh says that fear in
the minds of some is not because OF
the two decisions but because of the
speculation which will follow the an
nouncement If a considerable part
of the population believe that the two
decisions will bring on an avalanche
of attacks on corporations, there Will
be trouble. The fact that the two
big corporations are convicted will not
damage the financial condition of the
country, but suspicion that there is
to be a governmental onslaught on
capital will.
Secretary MacVeagh is viewing the
financial situation in the country with
complacency. He is giving little
thought to bond issue and says that
if things go along as smoothly as
they have been there may be no need
for an issue of bonds.

Is NEW GRAFT INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury at Pittsburg Return Bills
Against CounciImen - Head of
Health Board Caught.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The grand jury
which has been investigating the coun-
cilmanic graft cases threw another
broadside into the ranks of the "sys-
TEN" Wednesday by handing down 16
more indictments against councilmen
who are alleged to have sold their
votes for money. Five Of those in
dicted are members of the present
city councils.
The sensation of this lot of indict-
ments, however, was the Introduction
of the name of DR.. E. r. Walters, now
head OF the department of health and
charities and leading man in the cabi-
net of Mayor Magee. The grand jury.
in indicting Walters, insists it has
proof that while he was president of
Pittsburg councils, he solicited and &C
copied a bribc of $1,000 for his vote in
councils.
Sixteen members of the Office force
of the Farmers Deposit National bank
appeared before the jury, under the
escort of detectives, and were put
through a warm session of quizzing
before they were dismissed.
Capt Johnny Klein, former common
councilman, whose confession of graft
pulled out the props and let the sky
fall" in the present graft crusade, was
taken to the Western penitentiary to
begin serving his three and one-half
years sentence.

SAYS MEAT WILL GO HIGHER
COUNSEL OF CATTLE MEN so IN.
FORMS. SE..ATE COMMITTEE.
Declares Decreasing Production and
Increasing Population Are Cause
for High Prices.

Washington.-"Unless some one can
find a way to repeal the law of sup
ply and demand there is no remedy
for rising prices" asserted Samuel H.
Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex. counsel
for the Cattle Raisers' association of
Texas, before the senate food inves-
tigating committee 1.-THE people OF
the United States need never expect
cheap meat again"
Mr.. Cowan told the committee that
it would be necessary for cattle rails
ars to maintain as high or even higher
prices to keep pace with the increased
cost OF grazing land and feed.
Like other witnesses before the COM
mittee, Mr.. Cowan said the present
price of beef was caused by the de-
creasirg production and the increasing
populat ton. He said cities were turn
ing young men away from farms to
such an extent that it was almost I'M
possible to get sufficient help to make
the production keep pace with the de-
mand. The only way to attract men
to the country, he said, was to In
crease the incentive by giving them
high wages, which, with the advanced
price of land and feed, made it neces'
sary for stockraisers to receive more
for their cattle.

FOR A NEW EDUCATION.

An eminent upholder of dramatic
art, apparently in dispair of holding
said art high enough by the use or
existing facilities has offered to be
one of ten men to make up a fund OF
$250,000 with which to endow Chair
of Playwriting at Harvard university.
That is certainly great scheme, and
no doubt the other nine contributors
win come forward with agility
whether or not with grace doesn't
really matter. A Chair of Playwriting
is what this country long has sought
and grieved because it had not, or,
words to that effect, says New York
Times. To be sure, all the great, near
great, and tolerably large builders of
plays whose names we recall at the
moment somehow managed TO get
along without listening to lectures by
any practitioner of their trade or by
any professional expounder thereof,
endowed or other, but because thing
can be, and has been done pretty well
in one way is no proof that 1t cannot
be better and more easily done In an
other, and doubtless Harvard will
make good use of the $3.50, 000-when
1t gets the money. Possibly, on re-
Election, the university will devote the
fund to the training of "angels"-of
men who for one of several reasons are
willing to spend money for the bring
ing out of plays-and players. The
theatrical managers, If all tales are
true, would appreciate the improve
ment and increasing of that class even
more than multiplication of learned
playwrights.

Washington.-Spec agents of the
department of justice Saturday stimuli
taneously raided brokers' offices in
New York, Philadelphia, Jersey City,
Baltimore and ST. Louis. The action
was the first move in federal cru
SADIE against bucketshops and the
raiders were armed with bench war
rants issued by the Supreme court
of the District of Columbia.
Conspiracy indictments, in which
29 persons are named-five of them
said to be millionaires and all inter
ested in brokers' offices in large cities
of the United States-were returned

trict of Columbia upon evidence
which agents of the department of
justice had been gathering for more
than a year.

GROSSCUP is Threatened
Movement Is Started Looking to
Judges Impeachment-Sabath
Wants an Inquiry.

Washington. - Behind a sweeping
resolution sent to the house OF
representatives by Congressman A.
]. SABBATH of Chicago a movement
has been started looking to an at
tempted impeachment of United States
Circuit Court Judge Peter S. Gross
cup.
Congressman Sabath's resolution
directs the attorney general to fur
nish the house with the na1ues. Of all
persons connected with the depart
ment of justices, and particularly the
United States circuit and district
courts, who receive compensation
other than fixed salary.
Mr.. SABBATH said that he desired
mainly to break up the court cliques
in Chicago that have got corner on
bankruptcy proceedings and receiver
ships
Other federal courts of Illinois, Mr..
SABBATH charges, have been ignoring
the requests of interested litigants
and their counsels, and apparently
throwing all their receivership and
bankruptcy cases to some one firm or
favored friend of the court.

MAKE WAR ON BUCkETSHOPS
ATTORNEY GENERAL PREPARES
TO EXTERMINATE THEM.
Arrest of Dozen Proprietors in
Prominent Cities.

shington.-Attorney General
Wickersham's hand has fallen heav-
lily on the bucket-shop industry of
the United States and within a few
days a blow will be struck that will
practically wipe the bucket-shop gam
hlers out of existence.
From an authentic source it has be-
come known that indictments have
been prepared against three score Of
the most prominent bucket-shop pro-
prietors in dozen prominent cities
of the country. These indictments
await only the approval of Oliver D..
Pagan, Indictment expert of the de-
partment of justice. Warrants of ar
rest, based on the indictments, have
already been prepared. Every detail
has been carefully looked after.
At a given time only several days
distant, these warrants will be served
simultaneously on the accused men
in the big cities where they are To-
Gated. 1t is planned by the depart
ment of justice to make clean
sweep. New York, Jersey City, Balti-
more, Boston, Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Chicago and St. Louis are all included
in the list of cities to be cleaned up
and it is learned that the men listed
for indictment and arrest in these
cities include several millionaire oper-
ators, a group of well-known book
makers and other pseudo financiers
who have been deriving profitable
business through the operation OF
bucket shops.

EXCELLENT TRADE in
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
OF the past year were what was ex-
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many of them are indie
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is we'll under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that a vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern AL
berta, steam and gasoline outfits. hun
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,
a head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex-
panse of wheat field. And there viii
be market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
of Western Canada, and it is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and a
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons whel a
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
in the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output Of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some unreason-
able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.
