HEAD OF BIG LEATHER FIRM.
Alleged He Furnished Money to Buy
Jewels Which Mrs. Jenkins 10
Charged With Smuggling.

Kenosha, Wis.-Nathan Allen, the
millionaire leather manufacturer who
is enmeshed in the Cassie Chadwick
like financing of Mrs. Helen Dwelle
Jenkins to an amount believed to ap-
proximate $1,5OO,OOOs and which the
United States customs authorities at
New York allege were smuggled into
this country, has retired from active
business.
Announcement was made from the
offices Of N. R. Allen & Sons company
here that Mr.. Allen had resigned as
president and member Of the board Of
directors of the big leather concern.
About three months ago Mr.. Allen
resigned from the board of directors
of the First National bank of Kenosha,
a post which he had held for several
years. Charles Chester Allen, a
nephew, succeeds to the positions va
Gated by his uncle in the bank and the
leather company.
When Charles Chester Allen was
asked whether his uncle had been
forced to resign. he made an emphatic
denial.
New York.-Collector William Loeb,
Jr., declared that all the plans made
by Richard Parr, deputy surveyor
of the port, for visiting Chicago
to investigate the smuggling charges
against Nathan Allen, millionaire
leather man of Kenosha, Wis, Mrs.
Helen Dwelle Jenkins and John r.
Collins, their southern friend, were
laid before Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh at Washington before Parr
started on his trip.
Pending official developments in the
case, ten men and women Of social
prominence in this city are under sur
veillance and the names of score are
on the suspect list of Collector Loeb.
What particularly stimulates him are
intimations he has received that the
underground channel through his nets
Is still open and that members of his
staff are implicated.

$1,000 a Day Penalty.

Columbus.-The payment of heavy
penalties are facing many Ohio cor
porations, owing to either ignorance
or to being careless of the new state
law. They are required to file their
Willis capital stock tax reports be-
fore July l. Each day of delay will
cost an extra SIC. The charter will
be cancelled if the report is delin-
quent ninety days.
The tax commission claims that,
under the old regime, laxity was con-
doned. Corporations filed reports at
their own pleasure and penalties were
remitted The commission has estab-
lished business system and will play
no favorites and make no remissions.
Because the new law definitely in
cludes underlying companies, which
have not heretofore paid an excise
tax, the filing time for this year has
been extended to include June. Next
year they must be filed during May.
Warning has been issued, that
unless hundreds of corporations, in
Guiding some of the largest in the
state, get in their reports, there will
be penalties and cancellations of
charters.
Under the Smith 1 per cent. tax
law, bankers will pay taxes on the
whole of their capital stock, instead
of so per cent. as heretofore, as
the result of a conference held by
Auditor Sayre with the bankers of
Franklin county, at which the
taxation problem was threshed out.
Taxes will be computed on the real
value of the stock. The value of
the real estate owned by the banks
will be deducted from the amount of
capital and listed subsequently.
Investigation of the public utilities
commission is expected to bring out
much hidden capital Of the large cor
porations in the readjustment which
the 10 mill tax limit will cause.

More Light on Bribery Case.

More light was thrown on methods
employed by Ohio solons, in arriving
at conclusions regarding pending leg
islation, by Detective Frank Harrison
Smiley in the Diegle bribery trial.
Harrison, as he was known here, the
star witness for the state, failed to
break under the long and fierce cross
examination. Attempts to discredit
the witness by connecting him with
the Diefenbach murder and an embez-
element in Chicago, failed through a
ruling of the court, but a bare outline
OF these facts reached the jury.
Harrison, on direct examination, re-
lated how, under the cloak of a pros
porous and business-like molder of
public opinion, or lobbyist, with plen-
ty Of money, he had, in less than two
days, bought The votes of three sena-
tors-L. r. Andrews, Isaac e. Huff
man, and George X. Cetone-for the
modest sum of 5000 a piece, the
agreed list price. The narrative was
replete with little side lights upon
the technical side Of boodling, as it is
said to have been practised in the
general assembly.
The Burns detective related in de-
tail the conversation between him
self and Senate Sergeant-at-arms Die
gle, and with Cetone, Andrews and
Huffman. and carefully described the
negotiations with the lawmakers
which eliminated in the agreement
upon 5000 as their price.
Harrison told how the alleged bood-
lers had used every precaution known
in the annals of boodling; how Diegle,
as commission man, grew suspicious,
and had searched in the bath rooms,
closet, under the bed, and under the
couch, where the dictograph, which
caused so much havoc and ruin, was
concealed. He told how Diegle, see
ing that it was apparently safe, re-
ported favorably to the alleged vote
merchants, and how each Of them in
turn came to receive his instructions
and his two hundred.
Last of all came Andrews, Harrison
said, and he told of the conversa-
tion with Andrews in which the Iron
ton lawmaker explained to him that
while the 5000 was ample for his own
wants at the present time, it might
be necessary for Harrison to come
across" again.

pictoaraph Goes to Jury.

Judge Kinkead ruled that the dicta-
graph record could go to the jury in the
Diegel bribery trial. The decision fol-
lowed conference between the attor-
neys for both sides, and the court. By
this decision, the state is permitted
to make complete it's case as planned.
That this record, taken down by the
court stenographer, of the alleged con-
yersations between Detective Harri-
son and Senators Andrews, Cetone
and Huffman and Sergeant-at-arms
Diegle, should reach the jury has been
the chief fear not only of the defense
but of other members OF the general
assembly under suspicion. 1t is not
known how many names have been re-
corded by the dictagraph as being
willing to take money. Friends of the
defense admitted that when this rec
ord reaches the jury the case of the
state, Rot only against Diegle, but
against other legislators, will be hard
to disprove. The court stenographer's
record of these alleged conversations
in which the sale of the three sena-
tors votets for 5000 each is alleged
to have been arranged for, will go in

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS VOID

Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate planned
to extend its vast interests in Alaska
and to control one of the most valu-

finally disallowed by the department
of the interior.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the

appeal can be based only on somo
point of law involved and not on
the findings of fact as announced by

injurious effects of the habit till I
became a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
mo wretchedly miserable myself and
:. nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance | was rejected on &C

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
Second Half Of Year Abounds in Hope.
ful Signs for Prosperous
Business.

New York;. G. Dun G. Co.'S week
ly review of trade said:
The best development of the business
situation at the opening of the second
half Of the year is the marked i'm
provement in the iron and steel trade.
This Improvement is significant of a
distinct change for the better all
around. The condition of the country
certainly can be described as sound,
when its steel trade is beginning to
expand, when the export commerce is
creating big Surplus in favor of the
United States, when the big gold out
put continues, when money is plenti-
ful, when industrial production is be-
ing held to the limits of the consump-
tive demand, when stocks of merchan-
disc are low on the shelves, when econ.
omy, personal and corporate, has been
long practiced, and when many of the
issues which have been perplexing
business man and retarding enterprise
are past. The second half of the year
opens, therefore, with a better out
look for a gradually expanding trade
activity. provided the crops turn out
well.
Shoes and Leather.
Manufacturers of footwear are moi
regularly employed, some running full
capacity, others are curtailing produc
tion. The leather situation is healthy:
tanners are firm and quote full prices
The demand is mainly current require
ments with no large individual sale
but it is well diversified and in the ag
gregate amounts to a considerable
quantity.
Bank CIearings Show Decrease.
A notable change appears in the vol
ume of bank exchanges this week, thu
total at all leading cities in the United
States aggregating only $2,526,218,1 ,115
a decrease of 60 per cent as compared
with the corresponding week last yea
and of Z per cent in comparison will
the same week in 1909. A week agt
comparisons showed a gain of 1922
per cent and loss of only 2.7 PEI
cent respectively. At New York City
where a decrease appears this weel
over 9.5 per cent compared with las
year, against gain last week of IT,

may be accounted for by the differ

Coal Deposits to be Taxed.

Following inquiries made by audi
tors of Jefferson, Harrison, Guernsey,
Belmont and Noble counties, who in
person visited the state tax commits
sion, coal deposits, for the first time
in Ohio, will be placed on the dupli'
cate for taxation.
In previous years taxes have been
levied on lands owned by farmers,
who, in the majority of instances
leased them to coal compares. The
companies in turn we're taxed only on
their equipment, such as tipples,
mules, machinery, etc. Coal deposits
have never been taxed.
The Dore law, passed in February
by the legislature, enabled the tax
commission to compel coal companies
to fill out report calculated to show
what coal exists in veins which they
worked.
