A Queer Afritan Town.

The town OF Abu Hamed is located
where caravans quit the river Nile
and begin their journey across the
desert. Merchants leave their mer-
chandlse there aud load up again with
goods that other merchants have left
there for them. There is nothing I'M
usual In this, the strange part being
that no stoehouses or depots are used
for the protection Of these goods, often
Of priceless value The curious story
about Abu Hamed is that goods left
under the monument dedicated to st.
iAbu Hamed are safe. Here they re-

PRISON STATISTICS.
OF UNITED STATES
Preliminary Statement Includ-
ing Every Class of
Offense.


Washington -. O., December So
The prison population Of the United
states on january !, 1910, WAS lla,aTo,
and the number OF commitments during
the year was 1890. according TO :, pre-
'iminary statement Of prison statistics
made today By Director or the Census
Durand. These iisnvcs include every
class Of oncnsc from vasraucy to frs,
degree murder.
The ratio OF prisoners to popula-
ton on January /, 1910. was la5 TO
100000. and the ratio OF commitments
to population during the year 50" 10
100000. Thus At The beginning OF the
year 1910 one person out OF every SEQ
in the United States greeted the New
Year IN prison. and during tho year
1910, for every 100 persons In the total
population there was one commitments
The number Of commitments does not
represent that many different persons.
because the persons committed include
many "rcpcatcrs."
The number of prisoners in proper
ton to population was smallest in
South Dakota. forty-cIght per 100000
population. AMI largest In Nevada 3J3
per 100000 population, and the nuSbcr
OF commitments In proportion to pop
ulution WAS smallest In North Carolinu,
1913 per 100000 population. and largest
in Arizona, 2,932 per 10000 popula-
ton.

REPORT ON MORSE
IS SENT TO TAFT.

Immediate Need for Action
by President.
lspccial to The Times Dispatch. ]

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.
Washington ID. c., December 3O.--An
hour after the departure of President
Taft for Philadelphia. and New York
to-day. General Leonard Wood, chief
Of staff of tho army. went to the White
House with the report OF the special
board Of army surgeons sent TO At
lanta TO examine Charles w. Mcrse.
The report was submitted TO Surgeon
General Torncy, OF the army, YESTERDAY
and transmitted TO General Wood.
1t Is expected that the President will
not take up tho rcpor, until Tuesday.
and that he thcn will send for the
experts who made tho examination ami
discuss the report with them.
IL Is understood tho report supports
previous ones made TO tho President
concerning the condition of the convict
banker. and linls no immediate need
Tor action on tho part of the President
The Impression here Is that II IL crisis
had been found in the condition OF the
former banker the report would have
been given TO the President III once, ana
not held ut army headquarters until
after his departure from the city.
The report will indicate Morse Is suf-
fering from several diseases that Will

Cincinnati, O., December 3o.-Sena-
tor La Toilette Invaded President
Tafts own territory to-day. The pro-
gressive candidate for the Republican
nomination stopped at Hamilton and
hall. where he spoke. and, after a
brief reception by the Chamber OF
Commerce, entered President Tatts
own city i'll rainstorm.
In Hamilton. although arrangements
had been made too lato TO permit any
notices, n skating rink hastily filled
with chairs was we'll filled.
Senator La Toilette, with watch in
hand. announced thut he would talk
hut half an hour, but warmed into his
speech and talked nearly three times
as long. His voice had become husky,
and he gave evidence OF being ratlgued
by the first week OF his speech maxi
inS tour
at Music Hall here tonight he at.
tackled the judicial construction which
brought labor union combinations un-
der the restriction of tho Sherman
antitrust law.
1T is strange" he said that when
the court goes to its furthcst limit In
restraining capitalists. all tho capital
lists get away with the full value OF
their property. but when tho court
goes to the same limit in enforcing
penalties on combinations OF labor ii
takes away the homes and savings or
the guilty ones.
"Tae fact Is, the law was not under
stood by the people TO apply TO labor
organizations. and it Is "A mistaken
judicial construction that has male it
SO apply. The law should be amended
by failing out from under it's operation
all labor organizations and all en-
ploycrs' associations. Tho law should
exclude entirely from It's prohibitions

unions and employers"
Administration of the patent laws.
Senator La Toilette said, should be
placed in the hands OF the commission
with power TO prohibit any unrcuson-
ublc restraints
The commission, he declared, also
should have authority to prevent re-
poly Of natural resources and control
over raw material.
Tho greatest menace to competition
at the present time he said, lis the
control of credit and the concentration
OF money in the hands Of those who
control the trusts. Elasticity in our
currency is Imperative, but any plan
to secure 1t, like that OF the proposed
national reserve association, which
puts control In the hands Of the bank
crs and the money interests will
strengthen tho power. OF the trusts 10
get capital and to keep competitors
from getting #.
at will he the peoples money that
will give security any plan, and the
peoples money must not be controlled
by those who on the plea of elasticity.
will use It to kill off competitors OF
