DILLON QUITS RAGE,
COMMITTEE TO ACT
OHIO G. o. p. NOMINEE FOR GOV
ERNoR RESIGNS AND SUc-
cESSoR WILL BE CHOSEN.
JUDGE MAKES STATEMENT
Says the Reason He Takes His Stand
Is That All Endeavor to Bring
About United Party in Buck
eye State Has Failed.

Columbus, o.-Facing situation
unparalleled in the history of
Ohio politics, the elimination of
which may mean either the destruc-
tion or salvation OF the Republican
party in this state, the Republican
state central committee will convene
here July 81.
Committee to Pick Candidate.
The selection Of candidate for
governor to succeed Judge Edmund
B. Dillon of Columbus, who, despair
ing of party peace, has telegraphed
from Mackinac Island his withdrawal
from the ticket, is business of para
mount Importance which the commit
tee must undertake. Under the law
and the party rules the committee is
charged with the responsibility of fill
ing vacancies on the ticket.
Although for several days the pos
sibility of his withdrawal in the
event of his inability to secure the
support of both the Roosevelt and
Taft factions of the party had been
rumored about the state capitol, the
SuuuSnucSS Vi luc was
something Of shock.
1t had been the understanding that
a definite and final declaration of his
attitude would not be made before
the central committees meeting and
possibly not until after the new pro-
gressive party's convention at Chicago
next week.
There is still chance for uniting
the party, however.
Judge Diiion's Message.
Following is Judge Dillon's mes
sage:
my written declination, placed in
the hands of Chairman Burton, was
not read to the convention and l ac-
cepted the nomination in the full pre-
sumption and belief that my accept
ance would mean an united party and
a single ticket in Ohio.
"All endeavor in that behalf. has
failed, despite the kindly offices of
my friends in each faction of the
party. The measure of justice due
me, even though a mere individual,
requires my resignation as nominee
for governor and the same will be
presented to the state central COM
mittee at it's meeting next Wednes-
day"
Judge Dillon's message arrived aft
er it had become known here that
Theodore Roosevelt had delivered to
his Ohio supporters positive orders
to arrange for putting a new party
ticket in the field for the state cam
paign in the fall. This information
came from New York and is under
stood to have been given by the
colonel to one of his Cleveland friends
who visited him recently.

PASS LA TOILETTE BILL
SENATORS PUT THROUGH MEAS
URE BY VOTE OF 46 TO 20.
Progressive Republicans Join Demo-
Gratis and overturn Previous Ac-
ton on Lippitt Substitute.

Washington, d. C.-In the senate
Mr.. La Toilette offered his wool bill
that was passed by the senate in 1911,
as a substitute for the Lippitt bill,
adopted early in the evening. To the
surprise of the regulars, the Progress
sive Republicans joined with the DEM
ocrats and the previous action adopt
ing the Lippitt-Penrose substitute was
overturned and the La Toilette bill
passed by vote of 46 to 20.
This measure makes cuts in the
rates largely in excess of that provid-
ed for in the substitute that previously
received the support of progressives.
This bill was amended in confer
ence in 1911, many of the rates
being decreased by the Democratic
conferees. In that shape it was sent
to the president and was vetoed Au-
gust II, 1911.
Before the La Toilette bill was Of
fered Senator Cummins offered as an
amendment to the Lippitt bill the per-
manent tariff commission bill passed
by the senate in 1910 and rejected in
the house. 1t was adopted by vote
of 81 to 80.

DISSOLUTION PLAN
ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER
SHAM DECIDES BEEF TRUST
NO LONGER EXISTS.
WILL NOT INSTITUTE SUIT
Combine Which the United States
Government Has Fought for Ten
Years Voluntarily Agrees
to Obey the Law.

Washington, d. C.-The beef trust,
which the government has fought
for ten years, is no longer in
existence in the opinion of the de-
partment of justice. Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham has accepted the
plan proposed by the packers for the
voluntary dissolution of the National
Packing Co., holding concern owned
by the Morris, Swift and Armour
packing companies. The attorney
general decided also that the depart
ment of justice will not institute the
civil dissolution suit which it had
threatened to file August 1.
Here are the other things he did:
Accepted the assurances of the pack
ers that active competition will be re-
vived.
Informed them that as soon as it de.
velops competition is being restrained,
further prosecution will be started.
Called their attention to an injunc.
ton order affirmed by the United
States supreme court in 1906, prohib-
iting the Morris, Swift and Armour
packing companies from combining to
restrain trade.

DENIES STEALING NOMINATION
Statement From White House Says
Seating of Delegates at Chicago
Was Done in Fairness.

Washington, d. C.-The long ex-
pected and carefully prepared answer
of the Taft faction to the reiterated
charges that the president stole the
nomination at Chicago" has just been
issued from the White House. 1t is
the longest and probably the most
complete political statement ever put
out from the executive mansion and
is intended by it's very thoroughness
and care to damn the arguments of
the third party men and spike the
guns of the Democrats who may seek
to make campaign matter. out of the
former presidents charges.
Every one of the 238 contests which
Colonel Roosevelt's leaders instituted
in Chicago are carefully discussed,
dissected and disposed Of All the ar
guments which were presented to the

ing of the convention or to the com.
mfttee on credentials after June IS
are included in the Taft statement
a bulky document of some $50 pages
and 10000 words-and, in addition,
there is summary which epitomizes
the contests and shows wherein each
lacked the necessary favoring of
truth which caused the convention to
reject it.
"An examination of the facts" con-
eludes the statement, Shows that the
tribunals were right in every in
stance. There is not the slightest
evidence that they were moved by
other than a mere desire to reach a
right conclusion. On the other hand
the action of the Roosevelt men in
bringing 160 contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
to show the lack of good faith in the
prosecution of them all. Those who
support President Taft can we'll af-
ford to stand on the record in these
cases and to asservate without fear
of successful contradiction that the
delegates whose seats were contest
ed were as fairly seated in this con-
vention as in history of the party"

MAKES KNOWN FINDINGS
MINORITY MEMBERS OF STEEL
INVESTIGATORS REPORT.
Recommend Federal Incorporation OF
All Concerns Whose capitalization
or Value Exceeds $5o,oo0,ooo.

Washington, d. C.-The federal
incorporation of all concerns engaged
in interstate commerce whose capi-
talization or value exceeds $50,000,000
is the keynote recommendation of the
minority members of the Stanley steel
investigating committee. The report
of the Republican members of the in
vestigating committee has just been
made public. The full report Is signed
only by Representatives Gardner and
Danforth. The remaining Republican
members, Sterling and Young of Mich
igan, file individual dissents on the
exact character of remedial legisla-
ton needed. Messrs. Sterling and
Young agree with their Republican
colleagues that federal incorporation
is remedy for present industrial
evils, but they decline to go so far as
to recommend the federal regulation
of prices, which Gardner and Dan
forth advocate in the event the situa-
tion cannot otherwise be met. The
four Republican members agree on
the following salient findings of fact
as disclosed by the long investigation
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton:
That j. P. Morgan C Co. received
$50, 100000 for organizing the corpora
ton, and that of the capitalization of
$1,400,0 100000 nearly one-half was
water.
That the average annual earnings OF
the steel corporation have been from
IL to 12 per cent of its assets and that
the corporation controls more than
one-half of the crude and finished
steel business of the country.
That the average wholesale price OF
steel products has been lowered since
the corporation was formed, but that
the corporation and all independents
have an understanding as to price.
The system of interlocking direct.
crates has insidious consequences
and tends to inside management
and the sitting of competition.
That the situation as to the iron ore
supply is grave and may become men
acing, and that labor conditions in
certain departments of the steel in
dustry are bad.

Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, possessed
a personality of which but little Is gem
orally known. OF a quiet, unassuming
nature, yet possessed of a will of iron, he
accomplished great reforms.
AS statesman he commanded the re-
spect of the nations of the world. AS a
leader of his people in peace and in war
he was both loved and feared. To his vir
tues they attributed the victories over
their enemies by land and sea. To his
wisdom they credited the advance of an
ancient Japan to a place in the front rank
of nations.
His reign began in 1867 and outlasted
that of all but two or three living mon
archs.
Under the rule of Mutsuhito, Japan en-
joyed an unprecedented era of prosperity.
Civilization has made rapid strides. The
arts and ideas of the western world have
been adopted and Japan has emerged
from the dark.

New Emperor of FIowery Kingdom.

Mutsuhito was born in Kyoto November
8, 1852. He was the second son of Em-
peror Komei and succeeded to the throne
on the death of his father in 1867, becom-
ing the 121st emperor of Japan. The coun-
try was then in ferment owing to con-
cessions which had been granted as the
result of treaty made in 1856, and after
the visit of the expedition commanded by
Commodore Perry, the American naval Of
ficer, in 1924. This threw open some
ports to foreign trade. 1t was only by
force of arms that the new ruler enforced
his decree and saved Japan from u rever-
sion to primitive conditions.
