FORTUNATE STORIES REGARD
uNG NEW YORK SITUATION.

New York.-President Taft and Ex-
President Roosevelt are fellow-work-
ers in the same political field The
threat that they might pull apart has
been forefended by full explanation
on one side and an unreserved accept
Ance on the other.
The President made it plain in a
letter given out here Monday by
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
New York Republican county commit
tee, how the misunderstanding arose.
He explained that he never took any
part in committee cabal to defeat
Colonel Roosevelt for temporary
chairman of the coming Republican
state convention. On the contrary he
explicitly deplores the result of the
committee meeting which chose Vice
President Sherman; he rebukes the
party leaders, who have permitted it
to go abroad, uncontradicted, that the
President of the United States was
behind their factional preference; he
insists that at every opportunity he
advised the fullest conference with
Roosevelt; and he explains he has
been panied by the columns of un-
founded stories in newspapers con-
corning my attitude in respect to the
New York situation"
For his part, Colonel Roosevelt
when he read President Taft's let
ter as communicated to him at Oys
ter Bay, said:
81 am very glad to see President
Taft's letter, and am pleased with it."
The Presidents letter came in re-
ply to Mr.. Griscom's blunt assertion
by telegraph that "the absence of any
authoritative information as to your at
titude is seriously misleading to many
Republicans"

JUST A NATURAL MISTAKE
Gussie, In Fancy Costume, Astonished
the Doorkeeper for q
Moment.

Gussie was knock-kneed. angular
and round-shouldered. He had ter

making something of a hit at the
fancy dress ball, and his costume was
as elegant as his figure was un-
lovely.
With fast beating heart he stepped
1auntily from his automobile outside
the town hall, where the ball was be-
ing held. The hall porter stepped back

CHAPTER XIV.
Flinders.

If Halsey had only taken me fully
into his confidence through the whole
affair it would have been much sim
pier. II he had been altogether frank
about Jack Bailey. and II the day after
the fire he had told me what he sus-
pected, there would have been no har-
rowing period for all of US, with the
boy in danger. But young people re-

their elders. and sometimes the elders
are the ones to suffer.

the fire, and Gertrude insisted on my
going out. The machine was tempo
rarily out of commission, and the car
riage horses had been sent to a farm
for the summer. Gertrude finally got
trap from the Casanova liveryman,
and we went out. Just as we turned
from the drive into the road we passed

valise. and stood inspecting the house
and grounds minutely. should hard
ly have noticed her had it not been
for the fact that she had been horribly
disfigured by smallpox.
"Ugh!" Gertrude said, when we had
passed. what face! l shall dream
of 1T tonight. Get up, Flinders"
"Flinders?" l asked. "Is that the
horses name?"
1T is" She ficked the horses
stubby name with the whip. He
didn't look like livery horse, and
the liveryman said he had bought
him from the Armstrong; when they
purchased couple of motors and cut
down the stable. Nice Flinders-good
old boy!"
Flinders was certainly not a COM
mon name for horse, and yet the
youngster at Richfield had named his
prancing, curly-haired little horse
Flinders! 1t set me to thinking.
At my request Haisey had already
sent word Of the fire to the agent
from whom me had secured the house.
Also, he had called Mr.. Jameson by
telephone, and somewhat guardedly
had told him of the previous nights
events. Mr. Jameson promised to
come out that night, and to bring an
other man with him. l did not con-

United States Acquires Shoal at

NORFOLK: Va, July 1.-THE United
States government has acquired that
shoal in the mouth of Chesapeake bay
purpose of erecting thereupon fortifica-
tons for the defense Of the entrance of
the Chesapeake and the incidental pro-
lection of Norfolk. Portsmouth. Newport
News. Washington. Baltimore, Annapolis
and other places which may be reached
by vessels passing through the Virginia
capes and thus reaching the Chesa-
peake. the James. the Elizabeth. the York.

quired through cession from the state Of
Virginia.
The government also has acquired from

TO MEASURE YARDS1|CKS.
HASKELL TO SEE THAT FULL
MEASURE IS GIVEN.
Proposed Investigation of Spool Cot.
ton, Tape, Dry Goods, to Keep
Them Up to Mark.

Yardsticks will be measured by the
superintendent Of weights and meas
ures this month.
linear measurements will be conducted
an investigation into the lengths Of
spool cotton. tape. dry goods sold in
bolt form and all material measured by
the foot or yard and sold in bulk or
package form.
Warning has been issued by the SUI
perintende of weights and measures
on more than one occasion that this
class of goods must conform strictly
to standard measurement. Owing to
the difficulty in measuring large guam
titles. it Is always a more tedious task
to discover short measurements of this
kind than to discover short weights in
such staples as groceries, ice and coal.
The District of Columbia has never had
money enoughs to measure spools of
thread in the approved manner. Conse-
uuently it is possible that many short
spool has found its way in the sewing
room.
other cities have been equipped with ma
chinery for Keeling OF cotton and silk
from the spools and keeping an accurate
measurement. The measure has been APP
proximated in the District of Columbis
by the rather clumsy method OF weighing
the spool.
However, with the increased appropria-
ton now available for purchasing up-to-
date apparatus, Col. Haskell. the super
intendent of this department, intends to
provide his inspectors with many modern
means for catching short measure frauds.

CHINA IN A QUANDARY
OVER BIG RAILROAD LOAN
Would Welcome Pressure From
Powers as q Club to Use
on Gentry.

PEKING. July 14.-The four interested
legations. American. British. French and
German. today presented identical notes
to the foreign Office requesting the pro-
mitigation of an edict completing the
Hankow-Sze-C huen railway contract.
The note sets forth the intention of the
powers concerned. their mutual agree
ment and readiness to proceed with the
fulfillment of the loan arrangement
The legations are not yet agreed as
to whether they shall press for a con-
summation of their understanding with
the Chinese government at the present
time. owing to the opposition to the loan
which has been made by the gentry of
Human province and the Chinese student
bodies. 1t Is believed that the central
government would welcome an appear
ance Of pressure from the four govern
ments, as this would place 1t in q posi-
ton to say to the gentry that If the lat

nized to be incapable.

Charlton Not Wanted in Italy,
Declares Newspaper in Rome

ROME, July 14.-According to a state
nent published last evening by the Tri-
bUna, Italy has asked for the extradition
of Porter Charlton only In the interests of
justice and provided that his extradition
will not violate any existing treaties.
The Tribuna adds:
Public opinion will be quite pleased il
the treaty is not accorded. as Italy had In
the recent trial of the Countess Tarnow-
ska and her accomplices at Venice a case
in which was great public scandal and
that imposed heavy and unjustitied sacri-
fices upon the resources Oh the ministry
of justice.
''P0iter Charlton's victim was an Amer
lean. The assassin is in America. For
what reason, other than that Of morbid
curiosity should we desire that he be
judged In Italy?
The Italian government has not yet re-
ceived reply TO its request for Chari-
tons extradition.
a dispatch to the London Daily Chron-
icle states that the New Jersey authori-
ties desire TO subordinate the question of
his extraditiOn to the condition that Italy
shall accord reciprocity in such matters.
This. however. is quite impossible, as the
Italian code forbids the extradition OF
Italian subjects who have committed
crimes in foreign countries.

Up to Him to Pass on lnsecti-
cides and Fungicides.
DUTY IMPOSED BY LAW
Active Member of Commission to De.
eide Merits.
NO MONEY FOR ENFORCEMENT
Bane for Rats inadvertently Not In
cluded in Scope Of Supervision,
But Yet May Be.

Added to his already manifold duties
James Wilson, the Secretary Of Agrlcui-
ture. is now made by Congress the chief
bug inspector of the United States.
1t came about with the passage OF
law identical with the pure food and drug
act, but covering all insecticides and
fungicides. The enforcement of the law
as in the pure food law. is vested In a
commission consisting OF the Secretary
of the Treasury. the Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor and the Secretary OF
Agriculture.
But the two cabinet officers first named
are sort of commissioners emeritus. The
real work comes down to the Secretary of
Agriculture.
Subcommittee Strikes Knot.
The bug commission has already APP
pointed the legal officers of the three de-
partments, r. e. Cabell commissioner OF
internal revenue: Charles Early. solicitor
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, and George p. McCabe. solicitor
of the Department of Agriculture. as q
subcommittee to look after the legal en-
forcement Of the law
This subcommittee is up against
hard problem already. The law defines
polling. destroying. mitigating or pre-
venting any insect. The law officers,
after due consultation, admitted that.
while they understood how an insect
might be repealed or destroyed, they did
not see how you could prevent an insect
The law is specific in declaring
against misbranding Insecticides II a
well-meaning citizen Of the United
States puts up compound that he says

specified length of time there seems
no way to determine whether the
compound is misbranded, unless the
Secretary of Agriculture goes to the
reaches. to see whether they mitigate
or vacate within the time limit.
Rats Are Omitted.
The biological survey has issued an
informal statement already, saying that
the law is remiss in that it does not
include rats among the insects to be
prevented. An effort is being made to
see whether the law officers are willing
to consider rats as insects.
DIR. Henshaw Of the biological survey
and Prof. Chittenden of the bureau OF
entomology are going to call to their
aid the legal advice Of Judge a Push ,b OF
assistant district attorney some years
ago, established a reputation in the
Police Court by arguing that, legally, a
Iop-eared rabbit was a chicken within
the meaning Of the act. If anybody
can prove q sewer rat to be centipede
Judge Pugh Is the man, 1t Is believed
When Congress passed the law II
omitted one rather essential point. 1t
did not make any appropriation for en-
forcing 1t. This hampers the enforcement
of any law somewhat.
There Is a chance, however. that the
Secretary of Agriculture may be able to
put in the intervening time in practicing
with various brands Of insect powder to
see what practical effect they have.
Congress may ultimately make pro-
vision for taking the testimony OF the
insects to see what they think of COM
pounds for their mitigation, anyhow.

Railroad Bill Assailed.

The administration railroad bill as it
was sent to Congress. Senator Overnlan
declared, was largely in the interest of the
railroads. He added that after attack and
revision by the democrats and "insur-
gents" it took on some good features. The
court provision of the measure he criti-
cised, declaring 1t was an outrage upon
the American people. The postal savings
banks bill he attacked as the first step to-
ward q central bank which would throw
the money Of the masses into the hands
of the classes for management.
Any dissension in the ranks of democ-
racy the senator minimized, declaring that
democrats might differ on matters of de-
tail or merely moral policies. but they
were shoulder to shoulder on the funda-
mental principles of the party.
