ber of voters, and as a result almost
every qualified elector in the township

corded in Calumet township was 1900
in the fall of 1908. 1t is estimated.
however, that there are now no less
than 5000 voters in the township.

Pittsburg, Apr. 4.-Orders for 10,10O
steel cars of all classes approximating
in cost sf2,oo0,O00. have been placed

In the construction of these cars an
enormous amount of copper Will De

pounds of brass is required and for

that the total copper required viii be
2.424,00O pounds or 1,212 tons for the

Vote on Question.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 5.-Muni-
cipal elections in nearly all of which
the liquor question Is the leading Is
sue. are being held today throughout

Kenosha, Beliot, Madison, De Pere
and Green Bay. A little more than half
of Wisconsin is already dry" and the
temperance element believes that
the no-saloon territory will receive
large accessions as a result of to-

FEAST POETS DESCENDANTS.
Unusual Banquet Is Arranged to Honor
Memory Of Swinburne.

London, April 5.-A decidedly In
teresting event Of a rather unusual
character was the banquet which was
given' in honor of the memory of Eng
lands poets. by the Poetry Recital So
ciety The date was especially select
ed In commemoration OF Swinburne' :
birthday. What made the banquet ex-
ceptionally odd was the fact that a
large number of well authenticated de-
seendants of British poets had been
invited TO the function and availed
themselves of the invitations. As
many Of these guests were quite or
dinary tradespeople or belonged 10
even lower stratum of society, IL
may be imagined that the banquet
was rather mixed affair. Among
those present were Lord Crewe. the
chairman Of the banquet; Lady Mar
garet Sackville. the president of the
society; Frank Hart, and some of his
brothers and sisters. who are directly
descended from Joan. sister of vii.

Indiana Senator Addressing State Re-
publican Convention Asserts That
Reduction on Sugar Was
Only Pretense.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 5.-The re-
publican state convention met this
morning with Senator Beverldge as
temporary chairman. The platform
prepared by the resolutions committee
endorses the principle of a protection
tariff. but makes no mention of the
Payne -Aldrich tariff law The com
mittee on resolutions. IL was learned,
voted unanimously not to mention
the new measure. Nor did the COM
mittee take up the county option ques.
ton which figured in the last cam. g.
paign. An attempt was made to in
corporate an endorsement of the pres
ent county option law in the resolu.
tions but IL failed. The resolutions
prepared for the convention endorses
the policies of former President
Roosevelt and the Taft administration
George A. Cunningham was selected
as permanent chairman OF convention
Senator Beveridge in addressing the
convention spoke as follows:
"The republicans of Indiana are foI
a protective tariff which covers the
difference in the cost of production
here and abroad. Less than that il
unjust to American laborers; more
than that is unjust to American con-
sumers. Injustice is the only foe that
protection needs to fear. II was &c

changed conditions and secure justice
that we undertook its revision.

Mckinley saw this when he declar
ed in his last speech that in tariff
matters "the period of exclusivenes'

Triple ANNOYS

Methodist Minister at Rome Is,
sues Statement Enlarging on
Vatican Incident.
ROOSEVELT CALLS PLANS OFF
Has American Ambassador Called OF
Reception to American Colony
Scheduled for Tomorrow Night
I'm Unhappy Mood.

Rome. April, 5.-Roosevelt was not
in his happiest mood today. His wish
that the Vatican audience incident be
regarded as personal to him had not
been needed and he was intensely an
moved. About the first thing he did
today was to call off the reception to
the American colony set for tomorrow
night. This action can be traced di-
rectly TO the issuance yesterday of a
statement by Rev. B. NJ. Triple, pas
tor of the American Methodist church,
in which opportunity was taken for
an attack upon the Roman church.
Roosevelt does not propose to be
used by any one to the disparagement
of any one else. Triple called upon
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon and up
on his departure made a public state
ment in which he lifted the vatican
episode out of the realm of the per-
sonal and gave 1t worldwide signi-
Hcance. The statement in full was
shown TO Roosevelt today and he said:
"I had made no arrangements to
speak to any church or clerical or
ganization in Rome. I've received a
number Of gentlemen of all religious
faiths, who have called at my rooms
or at the American embassy. Under
the circumstances / have requested the
American ambassador not to hold the
reception which he had intended TO
hold Wednesday afternoon.
"As regards all efforts to bring about
and inname religious animosities be-
cause of what has occurred in connec-
tion with the Vatican and myself
can do no more than refer to the EN-
phatic statement contained in my open
letter To DIR. Lyman Abbott already
published. All that I there said l de-
sire to reiterate with my whole pow
en-" -e
American Ambassador Leishmar
had arranged reception at the Am
erican embassy in order that Roose-
Welt might meet Americans in Rome
regardless of religious faith upon neu-
trail ground of the embassy. The ap'
pearance, however, OF Tipples state
ment displeased many American Cath
olcs who forthwith manifested tn:
intention OF abandoning their purpose
to attend the reception If Methodist
of the organization represented by
Tpple were to be present. The mat
ter was carried to Roosevelt who, af
ter hearing both sides. promptly ask
ed Leishman to cancel the whole af
fair. This was done.
