names Of leading jewelers. Of the world.
The-cases bear her marks. which enable

The charge Is that presents were made
to Mile. Ksishinstay by agents Of great
ordnance firms because OF her influence
over and friendship with Grand Duke
Serge Michaelovitch, Inspector general,
Of the Russian artillery. The grand
dukes name has already been mentioned,
in connection with the competition be-
tween the Krupp and Creusot firms for

Columbus.-The candy manufacture
ers over the state are making an eff
fort to evade the 54-hour-a-week
working law, which recently went in
to effect, on the grounds that their
products were perlshable, ana to
strictly follow the law would entail
a heavy loss to makers of confections
during the summer months.
Cnlef inspector L. p. kearns of the
state workshop and factory depart
ments has returned from Akron and
Cleveland, where he was in confer
ence with different manufacturers re-
garding the new statute.
THE law does not apply to manu-
facturers who use perishable goods -
said Mr.. Kearns, "but the law does
not consider candy under the provi-
sion. The term perishable refers to
fruits and vegetables that are actu-
ally worthless if left out for several
hours"

$4,000 Demanded by State.

Formal demand has been made by
State Treasurer Creamer, through
the attorney generals department, on
the Empire Surety Co. of New York
for the payment of s53,3S5.61, princi-
pal and interest on the $4,000 deposit
of state funds which was lost in the
failure of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank of Cleveland, on which
the company was surety.
The company was informed by At
torney General Hogan that in case
of refusal to settle the suit to collect,
which Attorney General Denman
brought in the Cuyahogy county
courts, would be dismissed and new
suit started in Franklin county. The
state treasurer also, if necessary, will
resort to the plan which brought a
settlement from the Massachusetts
Bonding & Surety Co. of the states
claim for $4,000, that of refusing to
accept any of the Empire bonds as
security for other state funds loaned
to banks.

A Hard.Worked Man.

Perhaps we do not realize it, but
the president Of the United States is
one of the hardest worked men in the
republic. The head of big corpora
tion, E. H. Gary, for instance, can
slip away to Europe and the organi-
cation will run itself until he returns,
but the president, surrounded as he
is by corps of capable assistants and
advisers, must be on the job practical
ly every day in the year.
Today William H. Taft is the bus
lest official who holds high elective
positnon. A governor can get away
from official s-although his pay
may be docked if he stays away too
long-but the president must get his
vacation in driblets. His vacations
consist of fifteen-minute intervals in
which nobody actually is waiting to
see him.

disclosure of the real persons in in

for the promotion of their private
gain, to make the order.
"The statement in so far as my broth
er is concerned-and that is the chief
feature of the postscript-is utterly
unfounded. He never wrote to me or
spoke to me in reference to Richard
s. Ryan or on the subject of Controller
Bay or the granting of any privileges
or the making of any orders in respect
to Alaska. He has no interest in
Alaska, never had, and knows nothing
of the circumstances connected with
this transaction. He does not remem-
ber that he ever met Richard S. Ryan.
He never heard of the Controller Bay
railroad until my cablegram of inquiry
reached him, which, with his answer,
Is in the record.
"Mr. Ballinger says in telegram in
answer to my inquiry, both of which
are in the record that he never re-
ceived such a postscript and that he
was in Seattle. on the date of July 13,
when it was said to have been written.
"Mr. Richard s. Ryan in a letter
which he has sent me without
solicitation. and which is in the
record, says that he never met my
brother, Mr.. Charles P. Taft, and
that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles
p. Taft never had the slightest inter-

Secretary A. P. Sandles of the state
board of agriculture is being flooded
with inquiries concerning his project
for having SO boys, one from each
county, help police the state fair

vance. On my first trip to the state
fair l couldn't sleep for many nights.
To come to Columbus to the fair was
just too wonderful to imagine"
Work on the grounds for few
hours every day is to be literally re-
warded with sightseeing exhibitions.
Sandles has planned trips to the Hart
man farm and to various places of in
terest about town.
The boys representing the various
counties are to be selected by vote,
and the secretary is sure there will be
lively interest when the voting time
comes. His general plan contemplates
| the giving of vote to masters of
oranges, presidents of farmers insti-
tutes, heads of farmers organizations,
superintendents of Sunday schools and
of other organizations which have real
interest in boys. The net result, he
thinks, will be wider interest in the
state fair and an even larger attend.

Biz Sum Being Collected.

Columbus.-Attorney General Hogan
is now collecting delinquent Willis law
taxes at the rate of $4,000 per week.
A letter to each corporation in de-
fault, telling of the provision in the
Hollinger law for cancellation of char
ter in case of non-payment, is proving
sufficient inducement in most cases
for settlement, including back taxes
and penalties.
Last week some Willis fees, due as
far back as 1906, were paid. The finan-
cial bureau of the department, manned
by Special Counsel Jacob Schlessin-
ger and w. A. Mcnamara, Willis law
clerk, is unearthing numerous foreign
corporations, doing business in Ohio,
who have never qualified to operate in
this state and have never paid cent
under the Willis law. ne large con-
Germ of this sort which will have to
pay back fees is the Great Western
Cereal Co. of Akron.

that in an examination of the files of
the interior department a few weeks
ago a postscript was found attached
to letter of July 13, 1910, addressed
by Mr.. Richard s. Ryan to Secretary
Ballinger-and In the present record
urging the elimination of land
enough for terminals for the Control
ler Railway & Navigation company.
The postscript was said to read as fol-
lows:
Dear Dick: l want to see the presi-
dent the other day. He asked me
who it was l represented. told him
according to our agreement, that l
represented myself. But that didn't
seem to satisfy him. So l sent for
Charlie Taft and asked him to tell
his brother, the president, who 1t was
l really represented. The president
made no further objection to my
claim. Yours, DICK"
