SENSATIONS EXPECTED IN OHIO
Important Witnesses Called by the
Grand Jury In Cincinnati.

important witnesses Called by the
Grand Jury In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Ohio, March S.-Sur-
prises came fast yesterday in the in
vestigation of public affairs by
grand jury. No indictments were re-
turned. but the prominence of the
men summoned as witnesses started
surmises, which, because of their
source, limited that the inquiry might
become more general than the indict-
ment of George b. Cox would indi-
cate. Chief among the men who ans
wered questions were August Herr
mann chairman of the National Base
ball Commission and grand exalted
ruler of the Elks. and Rudolph X.
Hynicka former county treasurer
and head OF an extensive theatrical
syndicate. Both have been closely
associated politically with Cox. but,
owing to the Introduction placed on
publication of grand jury doings by
Judge German OF the criminal court,
no intimation Of the nature of their
testimony was forthcoming. Bayard
Kilgour. vice president of the local
Bell Telephone Company also was
examined and the fact that officers OF
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and John A. Payne, formerly
head of a concern that distributed
racing and market information. were
summoned at the same time as Kllg-
our. led to the belief that the grand
jury was turning its attention to al
legged gambling. In addition. there 10
evidence that the investigation Is en-
bracing paving contracts, possible tax
frauds and the disposition of gratui-
ties paid to county treasurers by
banks prior to 1906.

Miss Aida p. Skeeles, teacher at

morality and cruelty to n child which
is probably unparalleled in Vermont.
The child in question is the daughter
of Mrs. Bessie Hall OF this city whose
reputation is said to be not OF the

little girl told the teacher OF mis-.
treatment sanctioned by her mother.
Although several teachers in the

Editor Star: In the second edition
of your paper of the 18th, inst. an arti'
Gle appeared which was supposed to
give the exact conditions existing at
this school. In justice to myself and
TO those under me ! cannot let that
article pass without a few remarks.
If your reporter had taken as much
pains to get the truth as he has TO
write an article, teeming with false
hoods, an article which brands me and
NV assistants as a lot Of brutes who
have nothing to do but beat, kick and
generally maltreat the boys, there
would be no need Of this letter. And
then he sneaks out Of the responsibility
by saying, Whatever merit there may
be in the complaint" Why does
he throw the blame, if any, upon these
same boys? Why didn't he take the
trouble, while the lunch was under
way, to bring the complaints before
all the people there and get at the
truth? If he had, think our repura'
tions and characters would not now
be blackened
The first paragraph was absolutely
true, the boys were there with the
balls and chains. While was sorry
to have anyone see them thus shackled
| was compelled to keep them In PLAIN
sight because the members of the legis-
lature want to see things as they are
NOT as they would like to have them.
Suppose had kept them hidden away
in some room. What would have hap
pened? Some one would have found
them and then the howl that would
have gone up would have been some
thing awful. Your paper would not
have had type large enough nor a
press large enough to print the hor'
rible fact.

REPLY TO HOBSON
CONvINCES CONGRESS
AGAINST WAR SCARE

And yet we are told by the high
priest of war on the floor of this
house, that after spending that sum
each year for six years more, We will
have then a less efficient navy than
we have at the present time.
Men talk about the necessity Of this
expenditure out Of fear of Japan Why,
$40,O00,OOO spent a year in this coun-
try is as much as Japan proposes to
expend in the next six years on her
navy. In a recent speech the premier
of Japan, Mr.. Katsura, outlined the
policy of his government with respect
to naval expenditures. From his re-
marks it will be seen that the annual
expenditure which it is proposed to
undertake during the coming six years
is only sufficient to replace such YES
sells in her navy as become worthless
from usage This is a conclusive an
swer to the arguments Of the jingo0s
of this country, who contend that we
should greatly increase the size and
number of our own battleships in or
der to keep up the pace being set by
Japan and other great nations Of the
world.
Those who are constantly seeking
to compel this government to continue
its eXtrayagant expenditures on ac.
count of the navy have endeayored to
make it appear that public sentiment
in Japan is anti-American and that
every citizen of Nippon would wei
come the opportunity to try his steel
against so formidable an adversary as
the United States. They draw their
conclusions in this regard from the
belligerent utterances of the yellow
journals, which unfortunately have
their influence in that country as in
this. 1t is therefore interesting to
note the opinion of one of the most
trustworthy writer's on japanese al
fairs, the editor of the Japan Mail,
who was formerly a captain in the
British army and who has been a resi-
dent of Japan for about forty years.
He is also the accredited correspond

Congressman Hobson's predictions
of war with Japan brought a vigorous
reply from Hon. James A. Tawney,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations The house accepted Taw-
ney's views and declined to approve
the Hobson battleship program. Taw-
ney's address was in part as follows:
| did not intend when ! came on the
floor from the committee room to say
anything on the question that is now
pending before the committee. But
the gentleman from Alabama made a
very remarkable statement, a state
ment that should challenge the atten-
ton of this house as well as of the
entire country, when he said to us
that to pursue the policy of two bat
tleships year will in six years leave
us with less efficient navy than we
now have. If this is true, then | sub
init that 1t is time for us to pause
and consider where we are going in
the expenditure of the peoples money
in building what he and other mill
tarists claim would be an efficient
navy, or, as / claim, in spending their
money only for the purpose of com
peting with the nations of the world
in this mad, international armament
race. At the present cost of construc-
ton of a single Dreadnought, we will
have to spend $4O,OOO,OOO a year for
new ships alone in order to maintain
the policy of building and equipping
two battleships each year.
