NOT SENATOR CRANE
Some One Else Wrote Roose-
veIt Letter, Lodge Thinks.
BOURNE ALSO DENIES IT
Politicians ALI Guessing as to SEN
ator Who Offered Former
President Support.

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,. who
was at the Capitol today, pooh -hoohed the
suggestion that Senator Crane, his col
league, was the republican senator wht
offered to support Col. Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination. Senator Lodge
said that he and his colleague had al.
ways been of one mind, namely. that Col
Roosevelt did hot want the nomination
Senator Lodge saw Col Roosevelt or
his way to Washington, and the colonel
made 1t most emphatic to him that he is
not an aspirant for the nomination. SEN
ator Crane is to see Col. Roosevelt in
New York some time this week.
Everybody Has a Guess.
Who was the republican senator who in
the role of the tempter took Theodore
Roosevelt up into a high place and point
ed out the kingdoms of the political
world spread below him? Who was the
man to whom he had to say Get thee be-
hind me?" -
number of senators were asking each
other these questions today. At first
blush suspicion fell upon Senator Jona-
than Bourne, the great Warwick of the
progressives. 1t was recalled how SEN
ator Bourne had blown the horn for 1.-THE
second elective term" for Roosevelt all
the time Roosevelt was urging the nomi-
nation of Taft, though his voice was as
one crying in the desert.
Then. when Mr.. Taft was nominated,
Senator Bourne was the first to show UP
on the golf links at Hot Springs to give
the glad hand" to the candidate. Sad to
relate. however. the newborn enthusiasm
did not last long, and Senator Bourne
is now opposing. President Taft's renomi-
nation, and is supposed to be casting
about for an available" candidate as he
sees him. Thus 1T befell that suspicion
was cast upon Senator Bourne of being
the prominent republican senator who
offered his forces. horse, foot and dra-
goons to Col. Roosevelt
But Senator Bourne denies the soft
impeachment He declares there is no
ground for the suspicion that he may
have turned to his first affection; not
that he loves Taft more or Roosevelt
less-he just didn't do 1t, that's all.
Senator Crane Picked.
Ha! Twas Senator Crane of Massa-
chusetts. the voice Of speculation next
whispered.
but Senator Crane has been the Pres
ident's frm supporter" objected the In
credulous
An, Well. but ne Is AFRAID the re-
publican party will lose with Taft and he
wants a winner; that's why he turned to
Roosevelt" asserted the gossips.
Senator Crane is not in town and il
he were 1t IL not thought he would turn
the spotlight upon any statement on that
subject. He is of very modest. retiring
disposition and would hardly claim, his
friends say, that he can make and un-
make presidential candidates.
So that gueses go around. touching first
one and then another. but finally come
against the suggestion: well, what's the
difference anyhow? Col Roosevelt says
he does not want 1t.

Speaker CIark's Forecast of
Work of Congress.
PREDICTS LONG SESSION
District Legislation Likely to Re.
ceive Limited Attention.
CONFINED TO REGULAR DAYS
Next to Tariff, Speaker Says, Trusts
Will Command Attention-Law
to Be Strengthened.

Speaker Clark, who got back to Wash
inston last night from a lecture tour that
carried him into nineteen, states, talked
with Star reporter this morning about
the prospects for District of Columbia
and general legislation at the coming ses-
sion OF Congress-. While Mr.. Clark has
been pretty much out Of touch with af-
fairs since he began his long grind and
has heard nothing from Representative
Ben johnson of Kentucky, chairman Of
the House District committee, concerning
that phase Of the inquiry into local con-
d1t1ons which has been carried on during
the summer. he has certain. well defined
views on what Congress will be able to
accomplish this winter.-And he doesn't
believe that there will be much time and
opportunity for, a great deal of legisla-
tion affecting the District.
ut is pretty certain" said the Speaker.
that the great amount of general leeisla-
ton pressing before Congress for which
there Is popular demand, in addition to
the absolutely necessary work of getting
out the great annual supply bills of the
government. will result in restricting the
District committee to the regular days to
which it is entitled by the rules Of the
House-that Is, the second and fourth
Mondays of each and every month. In
view of this, doubt seriously if.it would
be possible. even If the desire were clearly
manifest, for Congress to: enact at the
coming session any radical and exceed
ingiy important Legislation affecting the
District of Columbia. have no doubt
that the District committee will work con-
scientiously throughout the session and
present to the House such propositions as
it believes need immediate consideration.
But do not believe there will be included
in this list any legislative proposal to
which there is likely to be lively and long
continued objection, and that would neces-
state longer and more detailed considera-
ton than it would be possible to accord
to 1t during the limited time available.
Organic Law Discussed.
Take. for instance. the discussion of a
possible change in the organic act Of the
District OF Columbia. am frank 10 say

for such a change, whether the demand
is general or comes only from a limited
number OF persons. have thought my

for the life Of me where there will be

Mr.. [|TT[ETON DEMANDS
INQUIRY INTO ATTACKS
Asks Stanley Steel Committee
to Probe Published Charges
Against Him.

Charging that recent attacks on him
have emanated from bear operators on
Wall street who are trying to depress the
stock of,the United States Steel Corpora
ton, Representative Martin Littleton of
New York today made formal demand
on the Stanley steel committee that it
make an investigation of the subject.
Mr.. Littleton asked that the committee
summon as witnesses David Lamar, who,
he claims, is a steel bear; Henry E. Mar
tin, secretary of the Antitrust League,
who he alleges is hapd-in-glove with
Lamar. and Jackson Tinker, Washington
correspondent of the New York Press, In
which Mr.. Littleton says the attacks on
him to which he takes exception were
published.
Mr. Littleton insists that the attack on
him for his alleged desire to terminate
the inquiry is all part of plan to
bring about continuance of the inquiry
with resulting Ill effects to the secur-
tiles of the steel trust.
Representative Stanley of Kentucky,
Beall of Texas and McGillicuddy of
Maine have been in conference with Mr..
Littleton this morning and this after
noon, trying to dissuade him from his
purpose, contending that he should not
dignity the attack by calling for.
formal investigation.
No Decision Reached.
Chairman Stanley, after the conference
was over, said that no decision had been
reached, but that Mr.. Littleton had
agreed to put his demand for an inquiry
in writing for the chairman's considera-
ton. It may be that the whole committee
will be called upon to vote upon Mr.. Lit
.,.+on,s demands. In the event that it Is
ref,1sed Mr.. Littleton will rise in the
IHonse and on a question of personal
privilege will reply to the attack made
upon him.

A BENEFICIAL LAW.

One of the recent acts of the Wis
consin legislature is one providing a
manner in which farmers may borrow
money to stump their lands, and the
law states that when twenty-five or
more settlers of any county shall petit
tion the county board setting forth
that they are owners of cut-over lands
and are desirous of clearing the same
the county board may issue county
bonds bearing not less than four per
cent interest and non-ts AZ bic, to an
amount not exceeding twenty-five
dollars per acre. These bonds are to
run for a period of no less than five
nor more than twenty years, and are
not to evidence any general county
liability but are to be a special tax
lien prior to all other liens on land.
From reading of the bill it looks
like good thing and ought to be of
considerable help to those desiring TO
stump their cut-over lands.

REFUSES REQUEST.

| Ever since a change was made in
the running time of st. Paul trains,
which change was made few weeks
ago, there has been dissatisfaction
among merchants in towns along the
| Wisconsin Valley division, principal
| ly Wausau and Merrill. Their con-
tention is that the running time of
trains under the new order has les
sened their receipts. For instance:
Under the old order of affairs good
many people living in the towns of
Mosinee, Knowlton and Dancy, came
tc Wausau to do their trading. Since
the road changed time few weeks
ago, people living in those towns
found it inconvenient to come to
Wausau to do their trading thence
the kick of local merchants. A short
time ago the Wausau Merchants
association entered into a cCTrespon
dence with the railroad company,
with view of getting the company
to put on an additional train, so as
to allow these people to come into
Wausau at a seasonable hour. The
result of this correspondence is that
H. Fl. Ober, superintendent of the
local division, has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the association:
"GentIemen:-
Replying to your favor of June %,
by S. S. Stein in regard to the SER
vice of this division, after carefully
investigating the matter we do not
consider the expense for the addition
al service which you requested, is
warranted by the amount OF business
that the train will do, and we feel
that the change that was made in
running our north bound train earlier
makes better schedule for business
as a whole than the former one."
Like everything else there are two
sides to this story. We admit that
the present service has some bad
features. On the other hand it has
some good features, only discriminate
ing features. The early train is run
on week days only, whereas, Sunday
is the workingman's holiday and
many from the city take advantage
of the day and go to points up the
river to fish. They must either take
the Brokaw scoot, which carries them
only as far as the paper mill city, or
walk. The fellow with the jingle in
his pocket can go northward on a
pleasure trip at an early hour any day
during the week. The season is short.
1t will be but short time before the
leaves begin to fall, and then there
will be another change of time on the
road. The greatest complaint, how
ever, is a result of the Car service.
Since the st. Paul company bought
the Wisconsin Valley railroad, it has
been it's policy to put onto this divi-
sion all it's curiosity cars, reminder OF
medieval times.

BRINGING CATTLE HERE.

In our last issue we mentioned the
fact that western cattle owners had
been bringing cattle into Marathon
county, and selling them at sacri-
flee, in towns along the Northwest
ern road, between this city and
Marshfield. Since then we have
learned that additional stock owners
have been bringing more cattle into
the western part of the county, and
selling them at low prices. 1t ap-
pears that there has been drought
in the West and the Southwest, which
has caused cattle owners to dispose Of
their stock. Cattle buyers of st.
Paul and Minneapolis have been TAX
ing advantage Of the opportunity,
and have been buying up this stock,
bringing it to Wisconsin where the
pasturage is excellent. This will
help out matters greatly, for year
ago at this time farmers were dispos-
ing of their surplus stock in fear of
cost of Wintering. These conditions
will help build up the herds of Mara
thon county, which were depleted by
the sales of year ago. There is
truth in the old saw, that there is no
loss but there is some gain.
