THE ANNUAL RAT HUNT
BRINGS GREAT RESULTS

Princeton, Ind, June 10.-As
nearly as can be estimated at this
time, 1000 rats were killed in Glib
son county to-day in observance of
the second annual rat day.
AS the Government estimates that
each costs two cents a day for main
tenance, it is figured that by this
slaughter the county has to-day
saved itself nearly $4,000 for the
year, to say nothing of the progeny
cut of.
Heavy rains prevented farmers
working to-day, and in many COM
munities large gangs of men put in
tie entire day ut tho slaughter. The
race for the championship is be-
tween Rinkv Kinman. of Hazleton,
and G. w. Waters. of Owensville.
Their kill will run between $50
and 500 each. Other kills run from
l TO $50.

the bottom is reached, probably
three or four weeks hence.
Intense interest has been aroused
in Havana through the realization
that the wreck of the battleship is
actually coming into view after
thirteen years burial, and that the
mystery regarding the character of
the explosion is soon to be solved.
Many persons, Cuhans, Americans
and Spaniards, visited the wreck
to-day.
Maj. Harley B. Ferguson, of the
United States Engineer Corps, is
receiving many congratulations on
the approaching successful termina-
tion of his great work.
The greater part of the after
deck is row clearly visible, showing
the confused masses of wreckage
covered with marine growths. The
forward part of the ship, upon
which the greatest force of the ex-
plosion was exerted, is still sub
merged.

counties to-day on crop conditions
are said to have been rather dis
couraging for a good big crop, the,
chief cause being the drought.
1t is said to be the sentiment of
the board that there be no attempt
to pool the 1911 crop with the pres
ent organization, and it is reported
tonight that there is every like
lihood that the Burley Tobacco So
ciety will wind up its affairs and
cease to exist as soon as the residue
of the 1909 pool is sold.
1t appears to be the sentiment of
the members of the board that the
recent decision of the SupremeCourt
dissolving the American Tobacco
Company, while admittedly a vic
tory for the masses of the people,
will not be sufficiently far-reachinSz,
In its effects to do the tobacco
farmer a great amount of good.

After Lying l3 Years in
Briny Deep.
FIRST STAGE Of UNCOVERING
Of BattleShip COmpleted-NO
More Pumping Uutil
June IS.
WORK WILL PROCEED SLOWLY

Havana, June S.-The first stage
of the actual work of uncovering
the wreck of the battleship Maine
was completed at 5 o'clock this
afternoon when pumping operations
ceased after the water level within
the great cofferdam built around
the wreck had been lowered precise
ly five feet.
This leaves the portion of the
wreck visible above the water prac-
tically the same as on the night
of the disaster before the hull had
time to become imbedded in the
mud at the bottom of the harbor.
There is now visible a long stretch
of the starboard side of the quar-
ter deck, which is slightly raised
owing to a list of the after two
thirds of the ship.
When the pumping ceased to-day
the cofferdam nowhere showed the
least sign of seepage or leakage,
apparently being absolutely water
proof and of the most ample
stability. This is all the more OBJ
vious because one caisson which
collapsed three weeks ago was only
repaired yesterday and is partly
filled with clay and mud.
The pumping is to be suspended
until June Is, when the water level
will be reduced another five feet.
The work will then be suspend
ed again so that minute exam
nation may be made of all sections
of the cofferdam, after which the
pumping will be continued at In
tervals, dependent upon the results
of the examination of the dam until

COURT DECISION is FUTILE

Lexington, KY, June 9.-The
District Board of the Burley Tobac-
co Society began its regular quar-
terly meeting here this afternoon,
and adjourned this evening until
tomorrow morning. The meeting
was held behind closed doors, and at
its conclusion Secretary Rankin
said there would be no report of the
proceedings for the newspapers.
1.-The business was quite routine in
its nature, and 1 believe every coun-
ty numbered in the membership of
the Society was represented, he
said. From the statements of sew
Ieral of the members of the District
Board after the meeting; however, it
appears that a number of topics of
more than ordinary interest to to-
bacco growers and the tobacco trade
generally were under discussion.
1t is said that an invoice of the
1909 pooled tobacco showed total
of $4,000 hogsheads, or approx
mately SO.OOO,OOO pounds of tobac-
co originally pooled, though it was
claimed at the closing of this pool
that there were 12O,OOO,OOO pounds
in it. 1t is said that $4,000 hogs
heads of the 1909 tobacco has been
sold and that the $4,000 hogsheads
unsold represent the higher grades.
The board authorized payment of
salaries to the people who have had
the work of grading, packing and
handling this tobacco. and 1t IS said
to have been decided to hold the
$4,000 hogsheads OFF the market
until some better idea can be had
Of the quality and nrantity of the
CROP now being planted.

ROOSEVELT TO ENDORSE
TAFT FOR PRESIDENCY
Next Year-0fficiaI Information
Which Confirms This
Intention.

Washington, June president
Taft in his candidacy for the Presi-
dental nomination of 1912 will re-
ceive the unqualified Endorsement
of former President Roosevelt,
which will be uttered just as cordia-
ly as it was prior to the campaign
of 1908. This is the best political
news Mr.. Taft has received in many
months, and it comes to him in a
manner that leaves no doubt as to
it's authenticity.
The information that Col. Roose-
welt under no circumstances will al
| low his own name to be presented
to the national convention was con-
veyed to the White House several
days ago, but it did not become
known until tonight. That Col.
Roosevelt feels the Taft Admins
itration should be continued was
brought out partly at a cordial
greeting between the two men at
]
Whether the Roosevelt approval
h of Mr.. Taft's candidacy will go far
ienough to take the former Presi-
dent into the campaign as an active
stump speaker is problematical,
but that the force of his personality
will be with the President, is assur-
ed.
The fact is not expected to prove
pleasing to Republicans who have
made no secret of their desire to
bring Colonel Roosevelt forward as
formidable rival for the nomina-
ton. Many of these Republicans
will no doubt refuse to abandon
hope until Colonel Roosevelt him
self, in quoted statement, announ-
ces his position and thus breaks the
silence concerning the Administra-
ton which he has maintained since
landing in New York on his return
from Africa.
The information that Colonel
Roosevelt would be found aligned
with the President, rather than
against him, was brought directly
to Mr.. Taft from Mr.. Roosevelt by
a mutual friend high in official life
who was connected with both the
Taft and Roosevelt Administrations
in a capacity that enabled him to
gain the confidence, in fact, the
warm personal friendship, of both
men.

which this great common wealth
is being boss ridden and bull

no hesitancy in saying out right
that they are self constituted and
that whatever they will, coupled
