CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-President Taft
spent a busy day in Chicago. He spoke
TO the American Mining Congress in
the morning, indorsing the speech
made by Secretary of the Interior
Fisher here last night; told the mem
bers of the Chicago Bar Association
that he was, and expects always to be-
opposed to the recall of the judiciary;
rode sixty miles by special train to
dedicate the new naval train station at
North Chicago, and tonight addressed
the Chicago Association Of Commerce
on peace and arbitration. Tonight he
was the guest of the city at a local
hotel, and tomorrow and Monday he
will try to keep UP with fairly
strenuous programme.
Chicago today made the President
think of Washington in the midst of
a session of Congress. With him most
of the day were Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, Secretary Of the Interior Fish
er, several members of the Illinois
/ Congressional delegation and several
/ Army and navy officers. The President
came near discussing politics once
when he spoke to the Chicago Bar
/ Association. Without using his name,
Taft referred to the remarks of United
States Senator Clapp of Minnesota in
this city recently in which the Pres
dents veto of the Arizona-New Mexico
statehood bill was called the blacklist

BOXER MONEY USED TO PAY CLAIM
Of 1888, 236 FORTY YEARS OLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The CON
nection Of former Secretary of state
John W. Foster and the late e. H..
Conger, minister to China, with the
payment of $36S,236 out of the Boxer
indemnity fund to the heirs of Cen
eral F. T. Ward, killed in the Chinese
rebellion of 1852, was the subject Of
an inquiry started today by the House
subcommittee on State Department
expenditures.
Foster, who acted as attorney for
the Ward heirs, and who, with Robert
Lansing, secured half of the sum as
attorney fees, testified that John Hay,
Secretary Of State Rad expressly APP
proved a change in the protocol of
November Z, 1901, under which China
had guaranteed an indemnity fund to
be divided among the nations whose
subjects were injured.
This change in the protocol, said
Foster, gave Secretary Hay authority
to pay the Ward claim out of the
Boxer fund, although the claim origin
ated nearly forty years before the
Boxer rebellion. He admitted that as
attorney for Mrs. G. M. Amidon, one
of the Ward heirs, he had used every
resource at his command to influence
the Chinese government to agree 10

A lie is never right, though in mo-

HILO, Nov. 9-While there was no
great showing of uproarious enthu-
siasm at the meeting called by the
Board of Trade Monday afternoon, to
consider ways and means of cleaning
up the city in order to minimize the
danger from yellow fever, there was a
unanimous support promised the
health authorities, active, by commit
tees taking up the work, as we'll as
moral support, both of which are abso-
lutely necessary to make the work of
Kidding Hilo of the fever-carrying mos
quito.
Our friends in Honolulu are in a
ident, in opening the meeting. 1T is
serious, though not alarming, owing
to the strenuous measures which are
being taken. These measures which
the people of Honolulu have taken
after the event, we ought to take be-
fore the event. The community must
come to the assistance of the Board
of Health, the work of which will be
absolutely useless unless it does So"
Sanitary Inspector Bowman was
then called on to give an outline of
the measures which he proposed be
taken. This he did in detail. He ad-
vised that banana trees be cut down.
Remarks of approval were made by
several citizens, including Drs.a irwin
and Troutman, and committees were
appointed as follows: To have charge

At the naval training station the
President watched for half an hour

the wig-wag drill each student pulled
a red or white or yellow flag from

ing them in unison to make the letters
of the alphabet the crowd of several
thousand people burst into a lively
cheer.
Taft dedicated the station, after

had spoken.

ALARM BOX FOR JEwELRY.

A useful invention in the way of a
cash and jewel box with an electric
alarm attachment has just been placed
upon the market in Paris and has
every prospect of finding a ready sale,
both there and in the United States,
though so far as known there has
been only one sample box sent to the
latter country as yet. This alarm box,
according to Daily Consular and Trade
Reports, is covered by patents in sew
eral countries of Europe as we'll as in
the United States.
In the bottom of the jewel box is
placed a small mechanism consisting
Of a dry battery, magnet and a sys-
tenn of levers, the whole forming a
device not unlike a telegraph instru-
ment, which may be electrically
charged by moving a small lever fixed
and concealed in the side of the box.
The sound is made by means of a
. bell and clapper similar to those on a
tCACpllOliC lIoll uhlCuls Ill lllG C6ul6I
of the bottom of the box is a small
orifice, through which hangs suspend
| ed small pendulum. AS long as the
box is stationary this pendulum hangs
perpendicularly and does not close the
electric circuit
But if moved only in the slightest
degree one way or the other, or if the
box is raised off the table, the pendu-
lum drops down, thus closing the cir
cult of the electrically charge mech
anism and causing the alarm to sound.
1t makes a noise as loud as an alarm
clock and does not cease ringing until
it is shut off. This can only be done
by opening the lid of the box and shift
ing a lever. It would therefore be a
noisy article for a would-be thief to
attempt to steal.
