Senator Germans Statement.

Senator German has acted wisely in
asserting that he does not want a nomi-
nation which bears the slightest taint of
fraud He is man of fine training,
with high ideals as to the course which
public servant should pursue, and he
is pledged, if elected. to give his State
a clean administration
He cannot, however, render service
acceptably if there is a cloud upon his
title. He has already suggested that the
legislature should direct a recount, and
he has also appealed to the courts. 1t
may be that, unfortunately, an investi-
cation will show that the election was
a dishonest one, but Mr. German can
better afford to face this conclusion, with
all that it may mean to him, than to
seek to cover up and minimize fraud
But if, on the other hand, it shall be
shown that the present suspicious are
without foundation, he can enjoy the
consciousness OF having confronted an
embarrassing situation in a manly and
honest way.

No Ground for Misunderstanding.

Our fellOw-citizenS of German birth
or parentage are unduly sensitive if they
believe that they will be accused of mon
archical tendencies if they place a wreath
upon the statue of Frederick the Great
during the approaching celebration. They
have given too many evidences of
loyalty. they are too thoroughly imbued
with the American spirit, to fear the
slightest degree of misapprehcnsion.
In the first place, this government ac-
cepted with public ceremonies the statue
Of Germany's great war lord. There
was reason. too. why this approval
should have been accorded. 1t was
through the good offices of Frederick
that Baron Won Steuben, who became the
great driIlmaster OF the Revolutionary
army and whose statue the Germans
propose TO honor, came 10 this country.
It was Frederick who directed that the
Hessians should pass through Prussia in
cattle vans in order to show his con-
tempt for the nlercenaries, and it was
Frederick who was quick TO recognize
officially the independence OF the new
republic These are the facts in history
which led to the placing of his statue
in a position Of distinguished military
honor.
Frederick the Great laid the founda-
ton of the empire which to-day stands
among the worlds foremost powers, but
his claim to recognition in this country
lies in his friendly attitude to us when
struggling nation, Our adopted citizens.
who fought valiantly for the Union and
who command universal respect. may,
therefore, show appreciation for the man
who made their native country great
without in the least fearing that such
action indicates diminished patriotism
toward the flag which they now so
proudly call their own.

PROMOTER FLEES
INTO MOUNTAINS
DR.. J. Grant Lyman Escapes
from Federal Officers.

San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 27.-Pur-
sued by deputy sheriffs and United
States marshals, DR.. ]. Grant Lyman,
the high finance operator and stock
speculator who escaped from Federal
officials a Providence Hospital, in Oak
land, Sunday night. is tonight fleeing
through Sparta County in an auto, and
his capture is expected mOmentarily.
The promoter is accompanied by two
women, who aided in his escape, and
by L. D. Thornet, who was formerly
employed as a nurse at the hospital.
Lyman and Thornet are said to be
heavily armed and are expected to re-
sist capture.
Federal officers say Thornet planned
and executed the plot to escape. United
States Marshal Elliot believes the fugt-
tives will be overtaken and arrested at
Sparta Springs before morning.
Lyman is believed to be headed for the
timbered mountain country to the north
of here, probably seeking some haunt in
the wilds of Mendocino County where
possibly he can get passage on a coast
ing vessel. Canada probably is his ulti-
mate destination.
One of the prisoner guards has con-
fessed that he aided Lyman to escape.

FIRE FIGHTING BY MOTOR.
Time Saving Urged as Cause of Re-
placing Horse in Capital city.


placing Horse in Capital city.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The city of Washington is planning to
replace the horse-drawn apparatus in its
fire service with motOr-prOpelled engines
and hose carts. In addition to the
economies which may he effected by the
change, the District Commissioners and
the fire chief in Washington urge time
saving as a potent reason why the motor
OutdOes the horse.
New York to-day has about a score
of motor hose wagons. two motor steam
engines, a motor fire tower, and numer-
Gus motor wagons for chief assistants,
and other officials. AS an example of
the efficiency of the hose carts, a recent
test showed that ten men could ride on
one of them at a speed of thirty miles
an hour-the power being equal to the
pull Of siXty-six horses. Tests made in
Detroit. Milwaukee, and Indianapolis
show similar results.
The quality of street paving also enters
pertinentIy into the question, but the
advance IN smooth paving in most Of
the large cities. together with the con-
tinued construction of Aphalt and wood
block surfaces. enhance the value and
efficiency of the motor vehicle. partiCu-
larry in cities covering wide areas, such
as our own.

The Decline in Prices.

From the New York Herald.
Under the conditions. the decline IN
prices is no cause for wonder.
On the contrary, considering the enor-
nous volume of stock Europe has been
compelled to sell here, it would not have
been surprising had it yielded more than
it did. and the resistance it has shown
has demonstrated beyond question the
great strength of underlying conditions.
Careful analysis of these conditions,
present and prospective. shows nothing
TO frighten the most timid members OF
the investing and business public.
Wholesale trade is making new high rec
ords for volume of business, the retail
merchants have no fault to find, the
crops now being harvested are better
than expected by the most cheerful;
exports continue to show gains over the
corresponding week of 19lO-last week s
increase was 20 per cent-and instead of
borrowing funds from Europe, usual at
this time of the year, New York is
lending it millions.

Washington from an extended tour oi
the States and Cuba, and is at the Ne"
Fredonia.
1T seems that the tariff will be the
paramount issue of the next presidential
campaign" said Mr. Pence. and TINS

solubly linked together. This tact y

Reciprocity is dead, and the only tnlne

PRIVATE BLOOM
WINS PROMOTION
Fort Myer Soldier Passes
Final Examinations.

Bearing the distinction of being one of
the few enlisted men who have risen to
the ranks despite adverse criticism of a
commanding officer. Private FRANK
Bloom, Of the Fort Myer garrison, yes
terday passed his final examination with
flying colors. His average was 9O.73 out
Of possible 100. and he was second
highest man in his class.
The examinations were taken at Fort
LeavenwOrth. where young Bloom went
for his test following his failure at Fort
Myer. The official confirmation of the
examination. made public by the War De-
partment. leaves no doubt that within a
short time the young man may return
to his regiment wearing the unbarred
shoulder straps Of a second lieutenant.
A Juror was caused in Jewish circles
some months ago when Col Garrard. in
indOrsing the examination papers OF
Bloom at Fort Myer. stated that it was
fortunate he had failed. as a Hebrew
could not rank socially with the other
officers" This resulted in a protest to
President Taft. who publicly reprimanded
Col. Garrard for his remark.
BcCa use of the protest. the President
ordered that young Bloom. who had failed
in his first examination. be given an
other chance.

WEDDING REPORT
PRACTICAL JOKE
Sergeant Trumbo Denies His
Son Is a Groom.

1T is all false; absolutely false. My
son isn't married. His young friend isn't
married They are just boys and girls
and too young to think of such things.
In this interesting manner Police
Sergt l. C. Trumbo. OF the Ninth pre-
cInct, squashed the report issued yester-
day that Raymond Trumbo, aged nine
teen, and Miss Nellie Malshberger had
married. They hadn't even procured a
license, he said. They were merely
friends and the whole affair was a joke.
When Sergt. Trumbo was seen at his
home he was at first dislnclined to dis
cuss the report at all. Then he became
warmed up and explained that the re-
port was a joke-a mean. practical joke
that had not been explained.
My son and Miss Malshberger have
been and are good friends said Sergt.
Trumbo. 'and there would be absolutely
no reason for their not marrying II my
son were older. But he is not He is too
young. And he will not marry for several
years yet"

Improving Niagara's Surroundings
Industrial Organizations Join with the Govern
nent in Beautifying THE Landscape

A general movement, in which the
United States, New York State, and the
Canadian government have JOINED with
Industrial concerns at Niagara Falls, is
bringing about a decided change in the
surroundings Of the great cataract. Act
ing on the recommendation Of the gov
ernments. the large power companies are
decorating the shores with lawns and
shrubbery, making miniature parks of
their grounds. and designing their build
ings to fit in with the national reserva-
tion scheme.
In recent years a nest Of old factory
buildings. on the American side OF the
gorge Just north OF the steel arch bridge
has been the chief ofIense to the eyes
of the visitors These factories used
water power on a small scale long before
the modern methods Of power production
were dreamed OF, and they were put UP
purely for utilitarian purposes with nc
thought of the effect upon the scenery,
Now several of them have been bought
out and marked for destruction by one
Of the power companies. and more are
to follow.
In Harmony with Surroundings.
The stretch of land on the Canadian
side of the falls is a reservation called
Queen Victoria Park. Nothing that land
scape architects and gardeners could do
to make the place beautiful has been
left undone. Through the cooperation
OF the government and the company
which operates on that side Of the falls,
the commercial buildings in or near the
park have been made to look like art

Evidently Not Illegal.

The announcement by the officials of
the steel trust that they do not content
plate a dissolution of the corporation
settles the uncertainty which existed as
to its future. They say that they have
not restrained trade or obtained mo-
nopoly; that they have scrupulously
obeyed the law and recognized the just
rights of competitors, and that their
combination is not in violation of the
antitrust statute. More than this, it is
asserted that not only is the Organlza-
ton legal, but that its management is
proper, its properties of immense lntrln-
sic value, and that the corporation is OF
benefit to the public interest.
If these statements be true-and they
deal with matters the truthfulness Of
which can readily be aScertained-the
steel trust has nothing to fear from the
government, because it would come
within the purview of the decisions of
the United States Supreme Court as to
d IGdSOlldDle NOlllDllldllOll AS d llldllCi
OF fact, the exhaustive investigation
which was made by the Bureau of Cor
porations practically vindicated the or
ganization 1t showed, it is true, that
the trust was overcapitalized, but this
charge rests against a thousand other
companies which are plainly not illegal.
1t was also shown that the trust had
secured ownership or lease of enormous
ore deposits, but even this does not vio-
late the antitrust act Apart from this,
the report of the bureau was remarkable
for its freedom from attack upon the
trust
1t is reasonable to suppose that if the
government had the slightest ground to
proceed against the steet trust. such ac-
ton would have been taken long ago
The very fact that no prosecution has
followed the investigation tends to give
foundation to the belief that the steel
trust is not regarded by the government
as amenable under the law

A Question for Parents.

While Judge De Lacy may personally
and rightly believe that it is not proper
for children to indulge in roller skating
upon the streets after dark, there can
be no doubt that there is no law to en-
force his individual opinion.
If the children are noisy or disorderly,
or if they congregate in such large num-
bers as to constitute an unlawful as
senbly, or obstruct traffic, there are laws
and regulations to deal with them.
Otherwise roller skating is no more
illegal than walking, and it is extremely
doubtful whether the District Commis-
sioners have power TO prevent the use of
the public streets for such a purpose.
Children on the streets after dark
unquestionably run the risk of danger
from accident or worse, but this is a
matter over which, at the present time,
the parents of the children have supreme
control Education Of the parents as i'd

MISSION SESSIONS
WILL END TONIGHT
EndeaVOrers to Have Charge
of Programme.

Deploring the lack of interest mani
tested in Bible classes and Sunday
schools by ministers throughout the
country. Rev. Robert NJ. Hopkins last
night urged delegates of the Christian
Missionary Society of Maryland, Della
ware, and the District of Columbia to
seek closer relations between these in
stitutions of the church.
The Sunday school is the only effective
tool of the Christian church to evangelize
America" asserted DIR. Hopkins. Sun
day schools and Bible classes have done
more to redeem young Men and women
than can be realized. and 1t is the duty
of the missionary to convert passive
Christianity into active Christianity"
The next place of meeting will be de-
cided on at this afternoons session. A

Former Members of GarrisOns De-

eide to ReorGnnIze.
That former members of Roosevelt and
Barry garrisons. OF the Army and Navy
Union. will reorganize and ask for a
new charter was decided last night at
a meeting of former members at Co.'S
tello's Hall
The charters Of the Roosevelt and Barry
garrisons were surrendered two years
ago owing to misunderstanding with
acting National Commander ]. Edwin
Brown, but since the election of Col
George Russell Downs, of Erie. Pa, as
national commander at Rochester, N. Y.
last month. differences between the local
members and the national office have
been patched up.
Old members of these garrisons will be
notified by the secretary to attend a meet
ing, October I, when signatures will be
received for the petition for a new char
ter, which will be forwarded to the ma
tional commander.
Past Commander z. G. Birch presided
at the gathering as temporary chairman,
and Van A. Zahn as temporary secretary.
Resolutions were adopted thanking De-
partment Commander w. II. Roach for
his attendance at the meeting, and his
assistance toward the reorganization OF
the garrisons. Among those who attend
ed the meeting were: w. II. Roach, E
c. Birch, Charles w. Blush. John Pear

museums or libraries, massive and dig
nifed. The efforts to make them har-
monize with the surroundings have been
so successful that many tourists do not
discover until they step inside that the
buildings contain water gates. turbines,
electric generators. and business offices.
The only structure that can be seen In
the gorge from the American side is one
whose walls have been built to re-
semble the natural rugged cliff. The
masonry has weathered now. taking on
almost the exact shade Of the surround
ing rocks, SO that II is often overlook
ed unless pointed out by the guides.
Money Spent in BeautIncatIOn.
Above the falls this same company has
created a separate little park to form
the background for its water gate house.
The landscape architect has laid out
winding driveways and footpaths, and
tiny rivers that run under ornamental
stone bridges and broaden out into SWIM
under the trees and along the streams.
It is estimated that the company has
spent s1.OOOOOO for purposes Of beauti-
fication alone.
On the American side Of the rapids,
still farther upstream, another company
has just bought $4,000 worth Of trees
and shrubs, of more than twenty va
rieties, to form a sort Of green belt
along the water. This is just one step
r the work, begun several years ago,
Of giving the property a park-like appear

stone, with simple lines, unobtrusive in
them midst of the green area.
