of dollars annually. The bill Is part
of Governor Harmons program to

agement of the commonwealth bust
ness.
The letters are signed, Business
Mems Committee" That signature
may conceal the names of some men
who desire to perpetuate the pleasant
social relations that have grown up in
the vali lious tIusteeships; or some con-
tractor, who fears the outcome of
real business administration, may be
hiding behind the mysterious name.
The opposition Of few who have
been able to hog all of the contracts
with these nineteen state institutions
was expected
In these letters attention is called
to the fact that the single board is to
have headquarters in Columbus, and
the argument is advanced that this
plan will eliminate the small Ohio
firms from competing for this bust
ness, and that few larger establish
ments will get all the contracts. One
man who came here to lobby against
the bill complained that Armour &
Company, one of the so-called beef
trusts, was now selling practically all
the meat used in state institutions.
This admission indicates that the
present system has bred monopoly.
There is nothing in the governors bill
to prevent Ohio firms submitting bids
for supplies; in fact they will profit
through the measure, as well as the
people.

After repulsing the attack of Repub-
lican members, bent on crippling the
measure House Democrats have pass
ed the bill by Sen. Reynolds of Cleve-
land with its sweeping provision for a
non-partisan judiciary. With the state
gerrymandered so as to make rs per
cent of the judicial districts Republi-
can, and the benches in these occupied
by men of that political party, Repub-
lican members bitterly fought the eff
forts of Democrats to take the courts

legislature and one of the biggest in
the administration program. It's pass
age Is the first fullillment of a pledge

pledge having been made after like

Republican senate. The measure was
backed by labor organizations who

proved to be staunch friend Of la

use his office to do things for the bene-

There has rarely been convention

raise a query as to the ability of the
Judge so nominated to decide cases
lmpartlally. One must have asked
how many promises the candidates
made to the convention bosses and
how many obligations were assumed
that were bound to hamper them In
this work. Under the Reynolds bill,
which provides for the election of
Judges on separate non-partlsan bal
lots, the voter, when he comes to the
judicial ballot, will have to choose be-

big stick, nevertheless he is getting
much good legislation for the people
despite Republican reactionaries.

China ignores
JAPAN IN loan

TOXIC. May 13.-Assurance is given
that Japan has received no official CON
firmation of conclusion of the contract
for the four power $4,000, 900 currency
loan to China. This government has
not been consulted by its British ally
or the other nations interested.
Persistent and authoritative an
nouncenonts emanating from Picking
are that the American government is
supporting the group of bankers sole
ly because of the country's determi-
nation to obtain "a political position In
Manchuria in opposition to Russia and
Japan. ..... ....... .,...
In other words, II Is held that as the
finances of Manchuria ana Mongolia
have been pledged as security for the
loan, n part of which Is to be used for
the industrial development of China's
Manchurian provinces, II is clear the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Germany have combined In n prof.
Get which Is an alternative to Secre-
tary Knox's proposition for the neu-
tralizatlon of the, Manchurian rail-
ways, which plan was opposed by Rus
Sla and Japan.
These reports from Picking are em-
barrassng to the japanese govern
mcnt, which is bitterly attacked by the
opposition on the Ground of its alleged
weakness and inability to maintain It's
position regarding Manchuria. It Is
with being outmaneuvered by
political intriguers in China and by the
other powers.
Notwithstanding complete official
silence beyond the statement that ia
pan Is not concerned, there is reason
to believe that some chagrln is felt In
Toxic because Japan was wholly ig-
nored during the international negoti-
ntions.

LUMBER TRUST" IS
NEXT TO BE PROBED

NEW YORK, May 19.--ln the first
Federal antitrust proceedingsh
brought under the Sherman law. as
interpreted in the Standard Oil de-
cision, the Department of Justice
filed in the United States Court here
today suit against constituent or
ganizations of what Is popularity
known as the lumber trust" alleging
the existence of n widespread con-
spiracy 'unreasonably" to restrain
the lumber trade in this country.
Ten trade organizations and more
than $50 individuals are named as de-
PENDANTS. II alleges violations of the
Sherman antitrust law and seeks n
permanent Injunction restraining the
defendants from continuing the con-
spiracy charged.
II is said the suit may be the first
of series planned by Attorney-Gen-
eral Wickersham, looking to the
breaking up of alleged agreements
between the retailers of commodities
to maintain high prices; to force all
ultimate consumers to buy from re-
tailers and to blacklist wholesalers
who sell to others than members of
the retail organizations.

AMERICAN MONEY
KINGS TO PARIS

PARIS, May 19.-The door of the
Paris bourse has been opened at last
to the big American securities. The
victory Is the result OF years of effort
ON the part of French and American
iinanciers.
Atchison stocks soon will be listed
and the securities of other great rail-
roads will gradually follow. The step
has been taken In accordance with the
secret report recently presented to the
minister of finance by commission Of
financiers of both the nations con-
cerned
The commission apparently found
way to side step the laws and regu-
ulqtions which have excluded Ameri-
cab stocks. j. Pierpont Morgan,
backed by the United States govern
ment, is understood to be behind the
American negotiations. II has long
been the financial giants dream to
build up money relations between
America and France.
France, while having plenty of ready
cash, lacks suitable investments. The
United States, on the other hand, al
though tremendously rich, lacks the
ready cash with which to develop the
resources and take advantage of the
great opportunities Of the nation.

RIDING ASTRIDE
Originating In West, Method
Now Approved BY Central
Park Riders.

From London comes the startling
information that English women who
took slowly to the wearing OF the
divided skirt, and to sitting their
horses astride, long after American
women had adopted the custom pretty
generally. have taken the next-to-be-
expected step ahead of American
women, and that in Rotten Row with
In week have appeared a number
of eQucstrlennes who openly ride as
tride. costumed like their brothers, in
riding breeches and CATERS.
One pretty picture was made by a
little woman who appeared in coat,
riding breeches and long CATERS all
In nut brown, with brown velvet
Jockey cap perched on her trim little
head. In London brown and tweed
are now in greater favor among horse
women than the black and blue cloth
still worn by most Of the riders in
Central Park. A few of the Ameri-
cans, however, have come out in very
light shades of brown. In England
the orthodox bowler hat has been re-
placed by the soft felt hat with the
straight rim, while in Central Park
and Van Cortlandt, the felt or, on
warmer days, the straw hat is popu-
lar, though some still wear the bowl
err
While n very few of the women
who ride astride in New York wear
smart riding brooches under their
long coats, most of them stick to the
divided skirt resembling the bloom
ers worn in gymnasiums.
There is little doubt in the minds
of New York historians of dress that
the cross saddle fashion and the di-
vided skirt originated with the West
ern plains women who, from conve-
nience and necessity, wore mems
breeches in riding fences and going
on long cross country horseback trips.

CORONATION
SEASON CAST
=: into GLOOM
Queen Mothers Illness Hangs
Over Formal Opening of
Festivities.

LONDON, May 11--The dark shadow
cast by the grave condition of Queen
Alexandra's health hangs over the cor
onation season. which opened officially
this week.
The utmost endeavor Is being made
to keep the matter n secret. No word
has leaked ont through the newspa-
pers. but the fact that the queen
mothers life has. been In danger for
some time past Is now an open secret
Mt court.
Rumors concerning Her Majesty's
health have percolated down to the
shopkeepers and others who are count
ing their American dollars in advance,
with the result that droves of British
patriots are rushing in panic to
Lloyd's to obtain insurance against the
financial loss that would ensue should
Queen Alexandras death make neccs-
sary a postponement of this corona
tlon.
Rates on the Jump.
SO serious has this panic become
that It is not at all improbable that
an official denial OF the rumor regard
ing Queen Alexandra will be issued
In the hope of allaylng public fear, but
It will take something more than an
official denial to explain the rates now
demanded at Lloyd's for insurance of
this character.
Ten gulneaus per cent. for three
months insurance on Queen AleXan-
dra's life Is the present ruling rate.
Although the coronation Is only six
weeks away. ten guineas per cent. Is
also quoted as the rate against n post
ponement Two months ago the rate
was only two guineas per cent. Many
conservative underwriters are now re-
fuslng to accept further risks
kirieves for Husband.
The truth about Alexandra Is that
she has never recovered from the be-
reavement attending King Edwards
death and the consequent loss of her
position as leading lady of the land.
Immediately after the monarchs death
she became morose and uncertain of
temper. At times she could hardly be
considered as acting nationally A sea
trip was prescribed. but now that she
has been back In London more than
week from a two months Mediter-
ranean tour. II Is evident to her med
ical advisers that the change benefited
her but little There has been n re-
currence OF the faintlng fits and heart
attacks which invariably AFFECT the
