Harrington was the only man

and il was only because he had :

head that he had not fallen in the

large and powerful man and had
evidently appreciated the fact that
he and his companions were going

strongest headed and most s'oicaI

WILL hiARDAMUS TREASURER

There Is another efurt being
made n relieve the financial stress
OF the state. The state officers
have held q score of meetings in
order 10 solve the problem. but to
date II is in a knot There is one
way out il il hoped and that is to
transfer a fund to the general
fund and get the money 10 action.
Yesterday Governor Oddie. At.
torney General Baker and
Secretary Of State Brodigan held &
meeting and discussed such d
proposition. Ii was finally pro-
p0sel tn transfer what is Lett in
the new prison fund into the
general fund. The amount left
amounts TO S73.94 az so.
When it came to the vote on this
matter tire minutes show that
Governor Oddie and Attorney
General Baker voted for the
proposition of transferring the
funds. Secretary of State Brodi
gan refused to vote until he looked
into the legal end Of this impor-
tant matter.
The re.ult was that a mandamus
case has been brought against
State Treasurer Mcmillan by the
two members of the board to
compel him 10 transfer the amount
mentioned from the New Prison
Fund to the General Fund. The
papers were filed with the Supreme
court today.

THE GREAT TARIFF BOARD

In his vetoes Of the tariff bill
passed at the extra session Of

deal 10 say about the tariff Board
and the facts 1t would lay before

out of Taft's vetoes and the

let the people know who compose

on and their fitness to collect the
data necessary for a revision Of the

a..une that he knows anything
about the tariff question unless his
vocation as editor of the Breeders
Gazette would lend color to the
assumption that he might know
something a6ou- it because the
tariff does breed monopolies and
trusts by the wholesale, which
have so thoroughly oppressed the
people Of the United States for the

of the tariff. Another is Mr..

Virginia. He has had no training
or experience along the tariff
line. The last n is Mr.. Howard.

is a delightful gentleman. He is
a great lawyer and a great
orator, but during all OF his

Bot now, since appointed on this

(Mr. Csnnon), with 50 years Of
