BRITISH DISLIKE
HIS CRITICISM

London, June g. Englishman
are never tired of wondering why
foreigners are able to compete with
them successfully in their own home
markets. A Briton who signs himself
"Ironmonger," which is English for
hardware dealers, undertook to ex-
plain it to them in letter to the
London Morning Leader. The result
was that he is about the worst-hat-
ed man in the country. Not only
the Leader, but all the rest of the
English newspapers, have been pub
fishing columns of letters ever since
telling what poor opinions the writ
ers have of an Englishman who talks
about his w-Englishmen in the
way .Ironmonger" does.
What he wrote was this: con
March 81, I ordered about Is Gs.

saws from wellknown firm in Shelf

plates from New Britain, Conn. In

ar catalogue lines. received the

to the present have not received the

gers in this country for crowding

race to London and win easily?"

Gilden tour which was to have start
ed at Washington on June 81, was
today postponed by the contest board

out manufacturers there would be
only fifteen cars in the tour after it
started June 81. The Glidden tour
after leaving Washington OH June

G0PHER SHERIFF
COMES FOR M'cOWN

Deadwood, June 9th.
A. H. Grant, Of Buffalo, MINI,
sheriff Of Wright county. arrived at
noon over the Northwestern and will
leave this evening over the same
route for Buffalo. taking with him
Alexander MeCown, who is under
indictment in Wright county on a
charge Of arson.
On March IL, 1911, according to
the story told today by the Mime
sofa official to a member of The
Telegram staff, a fire occurred in
Monticello, Mimi. small town
close to Buffalo, the county seat, in
which over $4,000 worth of prop.
erty was destroyed.
McCown at the time was travelling
Tor the Florsheim Jewelry company,
of Chicago, and had been in Monti-
cello for several days preceding the
fire. While there he is said to have
disposed of nearly all mis- samples OF
jewelry for small amounts OF money
The sample cases had been placed
in the basement of a store by Nc
Gown, the room being the first to
take fire the night of March IL. I'M
mediately after the fire McCown Is
said to have telegrapked the Chica-
go firm to the effect that all his
samples had been destroyed in the
fire.
McCown it is alleged was seen in
the vicinity of the room, where his
samples were stored, when the blaze
started. 1t is also said he told
conflicting stories after the fire when
asked what had become of the sam
pies. A careful investigation was
made OF the ashes if the building
where the samples were stored and
no traces of melted jewelry couldbe
found.
The grand jury of Wright county
met three days ago and after care.
fully viewing the evidence returned
the indictment for arson against
McCown
The general opinion of the peo-
pie of Monticello. according to Sher-
If Grant, is that McCown. after dis
posing of his samples which were o!
considerable value set fire to the
building containing his sample cases
hoping thus to account for the sales
he had made. Evidence is said to
be strong against the accused man,
The term of court in Wright
county is in session and the indicted
man will be arraigned some time
next week.

GOVERNOR DIX SAYS CITIES
SHOULD RULE THEMSELVES

New York. June 9.-Governsr
John A. Dix has put himself on re-
cord as an advocate of home rule for
cities. In an address to the MAYORS
and other municipal officials of New
York state assembled in Poughkeep-
sic in their second annual convention
the governor spoke as follows:
THE time has come when the cit
les should demand that instead. of
being governed as subject provinces
they be endowed with powers of gov
eminent as complete and efficient
as those vested in the state and ma
ton by the state and federal coa-
stitutions. We have Incompetence
in City councils. police forces that
are demoralized, city departments
and bureaus that are inefficient.
How can it be otherwise than that
it the city is treated as a depend
ency to be controlled and governs
in its vital affairs by an outside
lawmaking body which can possess
no knowledge of it's needs and is
absolutely regardless of its rights
and interests?
IL home rule and local self gov
eminent were fully aad psrmauenxv
Established. mistakes would DOUBT

within its boundaries to be self
