TAFT,S CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR?
He and CulIom Said to Have Called Minis.
ter Calhoun From China 10 Hun.

CHICAGO. Aug. President Taft and
Senator Cullom will urge W. j. Calhoun.
Minister to China. to become candidate
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor Of Illinois, according TO a state
ment made by a close friend Of Senator
Cullom to-day.
Calhoun has been called home from
China for this purpose. it was said, and
will arrive about the middle of August.
The President and the Senator have
become alarmed, it ia said. by the condi-
ton Of the party in Illinois Should either
Gov Deneen or Sc nator Jones be nom
mated the Lorimer disaffection would
work against both. and the progres sive
element would not support Deneen. while
the Governors friends would knife SEN
ator Jones.
The only hope for the Republican party,
il is said, is third candidate not identified
with any faction and of reputation and
record which will insure freedom from
bitter attacks. Calhoun has been chosen
as having these qualifications.
Recent stories concerning an alleged
deal between Cullom and Deneen are de
clared to be untrue and to have been cir
culated in the Governors interests.
Cullom. say his friends. has no desire to
ally himself with either of the three fac
tions in the party the Deneen, the Lori
mer or the progressive faction. II is his
hope that the voters can be united behind
. candidate who will he able to claim the
support OF all Republicans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. LIN the inquiry

Deer?' the statement was made to-day by
the attorney represe nting the independ
brewers OF the country that there we're few
IL any breweries turning out beer made
entirely from barley malt and hops. He
said that adjuncts such as corn. rice.
glucose and corn products were used.
John X. Mauf. representing the organized
and unorganized barley growers and
dealers OF Wisconsin and Minnesota. de-
clared that there are about twenty five
oreweries in this country turning out beer
made from barley malt and hops. that
these were entitled to label their product
as beer and that all other breweries whose
beer was made largely Of corn. rice.
glucose. starch and corn products should
be compelled to brand their product with
a list OF the ingredients entering into it.
Mr.. Mauf sprang something in the
nature Of a surprise when he read and
placed into the record a letter written by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to a
representative of barley dealers in Indian
apolis. In this letter Secretary Wilson
expressed the opinion that beer made
from anything but barley should have
printed on it's label a statement Of its
component parts.
Mr. Mauff declared that 81 200, 900 900 q
year was spent on beer in this country
and he urged the board for the protec-
ton of the barley growers and the con-
sumers to direct a different labelling Of
beer so as to indicate just what it con-
tanned.
Lawrence Maxwell. representing the
independent brew ers. declared that the
beer brew ed to-day in the United States
was pure and wholesome. He said the
parties behind the present movement for
a change in labelling and branding were
barley growers and dealers, and it was
intended to increase the consumption Of
this grain.

CHENEY ~ ERROR, SAYS GROUT.
Denies That He signed False Report Of
Union Bank Affairs.

Edward NJ. Grout. former president Of
the Union Bank of Brooklyn. sent yester-
day to f.. l.. Dodge. the Deputy Super
ntendent Of Banks. n letter complaining
of the testimony of the ex superintendent
testified that Mr.. Grout had signed q false
report to the Banking Department on
the condition of the Union Bank. The
opening para agraph of Mr.. Grout's letter
was as follows;
Mr. Cheney is very free and reckless in
his expressions OF opinion of crmina1ty on
the part OF other people. But you and your
counsel and your witnesses should remem-
ber that while YOU have the right to bring
out and to state facts you have no privilege
which secures you in bringing out or in
stating opinions which falsely characterize
the acts OF others.
Mr. Grout says that MIR. Cheney rs
totally in error" in regard to the last
report Of the Union Bank and he believes
the report TO be absolutely true as made
as we'll as all others" while he was the
banks president. While he had nothing
TO do with the transactions referred to BY
into them and he believes they were
correctly stated in the report.
MIR. Grout says that Supt. Cheney re-
Trained from saying anything about
$3.50, 900 which the bank borrowed on
mort gage on it's banking buildings. The
principle involved was exactly the Same
as that in the guaranteed loans for 500, 600
which were criticised by Mr.. Cheney
Mr.. Grout adds:
Ia It not strange anyway that Mr. Cheney
waits from April. 1910. to July 81. lsil,
before he makes question OF this report? !?
Why was II not questioned at the time?
For more than a year the department has
known every possible fact, every paper
and record, and only now finds reason to
question, The DELAY indicates a change OF
mind on Mr. Chenpy's part
