PANAMA EXPOSITION
STAMP IS APPROVED
Postal Emblems Will Be Issued
Before Date of Opening at
San Francisco.

Design for the new 2-cent postage
stamp, which will be issued to COM
memorate the Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition, was approved by
Postmaster General Hitchcock today.
The stamp will be issued considerably
in advance of the exposition, the date
of which Is 1915.
The new stamp will be a little
larger than the common form of 3
cent postage, its dimensions being
about an inch in height by an inch
and one e-quarter in length. In the
center is an engraving Of the Gatun
locks of the Panama canal. The pic
ture shows steamship issuing from
the southern lock, another vessel be-
ing raised in the northern one. In the
middle distance is group of tall
palm trees and in the background the
hills of Panama rise.
The color of the new stamp has not
yet been determined, but the stamp
will bear the words "U. s. Postage"
across the top in one line and in a
second San Francisco, 1915" Below
the engraving is a line saying "Gatun
Locks" and below that in large cap
itals the word cents" A large Arabic
numeral "2" will stand in each corner
of the bottom of the stamp.
Two small designs in the border
are intended to have symbolical effect.
On the left an olive branch, signify
ing peace; on the right palm tree,
indicative Of both victory and the
tropics.
unusually clever piece of work and
the lettering stands out with remark
able clearness and precision.

whelming. Naturally, everybody with
any political ambitions wants to keep
in right with the organization.
4 THAT is why so many Progressives
will vote for Fletcher this year who.
nevertheless, will support Roosevelt in
November. Thousands of them have
long been pledged to Fletcher; 1t has
been an incident in the making OF po-
litical deals for a long time past and
men feel that they must live up to
their agreements. 1t isn't what you
would call corrupt practice-it Is
rather a neighborly way Of passing the
thing around.
Every Vermont man has an afnb-
ton to represent his town some day I'm
the Legislature. 1t Is part OF the plan
to accommodate them so far as posi-
Bile. A legislator Is seldom elected a
second time: that is part of the system
of passing things around.
Such a system would be utterly fu-
tile in a large community, but in a
small one II Is the most powerful sort
of organization possible.
These old, long-standing pledges on
State matters will be carried out in the
September election. In November every
body will vote just as he pleases, and
Roosevelt will carry the State. Don't
believe any political manager who tells
you something else. II he knows, he
knows he isn't telling you the truth.
Everybody In Vermont knows that this
is the case"

WILSON DECLARES

proved Of II and win welcome It as a
matter of course" . .....
In this way. Gov. Woodrow Wilson
outlined his attitude toward the Pen
rose resolution calling. among other
things. for an inquiry into the pre-
convention campaigns or the various
candidates.
The Governor was asked who his
principal hackers were IN the primary
campaign.
ITO tell the truth, I don't know my
self. except in general way. who had
charge of nv campaign in the various
States" replied the Governor. Il
merely kept a general oversight over
nv campaign fund. Three times we
had no fund at ALL"
From Princeton Grads.
The Governor said ne could not even
estimate his preconvention expenses
He said most of the money, however
was raised from Princeton graduates.
Practically all the money was spent
for publicity" said the Governor, 'for
distributing news through the press.
We did not ask papers to use 1t. We
did not volunteer II. We sent II out
wherever 1t was asked for"
The governor said that SO far as he
knew no campaign contributions were
declined. with reference to the Thomas
F. Ryan incident which developed in
the connection with the Watterson.

was asked II he had not declined a con-

FIGHT ON P[NROSE
RESOLUTION MADE
UNDER PRESSURE
Wanted to Block the Calling
of Charles P. Taft to
Stand.

That efforts were made to block the
passage by the Senate of the Penrose
resolution for the investigation of cam
paign contributions In order to make
IL unnecessary for Charles p. Taft,
brother Of the President, to appear be-
fore the Clapp subcommittee as wit
ness, was the interesting information
disclosed In Senate circles today.
IL became perfectly clear, from the
form which the Penrose resolution
took, after 1t had been variously amend
ed, that Charles p. Taft would have
to be called as witness to tell about
his contributions to the campaign of
his brother, especially the contributions
In the pre-convention fight this year.
The word was passed about among
Old Guard Senators friendly to the
Taft campaign that Charles p. Taft
did not want to appear, and that IL he
were compelled to testify he would shut
on further contributions to the 1912
campaign.
Word Was Passed Out.
Whether the Senators assuming to
represent the views of Charles p. Taft
on the matter had his authority cannot
pe said. 1t Is learned at any rate that
ate, and that on the strength of il
vigorous resistance was made to the
adoption of the resolution.
senators friendly to the resolution as
go tnal tne cnlef opposition to the
resolution in the last analysis was
based on the reluctance of Charles p.
Iaft to be witness and to divulge his
expenditures. But 1t was found i'm
possible to block the passage of the
Senator La Toilette.
In the critical stage of the fight over
the resolution the Wisconsin Senator
served notice on the Old Guard leaders
that he was prepared to stay here in
ha 1l,,kt
through. and that he had material for
speech which went back for fifteen
years and which II delivered would give
a picture of the relations of big bust
ness to the Senate that would startle
the natives and give a lot of Senators
things to explain.
Feared Misconstruction
Moreover, some of the Senate leaders
perceived that for the Senate to re-
fuse to pass the resolution would be
construed by the country as a confess
sion of guilt.
Senator Clapp, chairman Of the sub
committee, says the resolution is so
broad that 1t will keep the subcommit-
tee occupied II 1t Is to report at the
next session.
1t Is not yet settled who will be the
hrst witness before the subcommittee
when 1t meets September 50. Colonel
Roosevelt will probably be one of the
first. Hearst will probably be among
the first witnesses also. A number OF
the witnesses who have already been
before the committee will be recalled,
one Of them being George B. Cortelyou,
and another being John ID. Archbold. =
The testimony of Secretary Knox will
be awaited with interest. He will be
witness and will be asked about what
happened when he entered the White
IInnGn
writing letter of admonition to Cor
telyou to return the 100000 contribu-
ton of the Standard Oil Company.

AGED TORTOISE TAKES TRIP

At the age of two hundred, or there
abouts, tortoise belonging to the
duke of Beaufort decided this year to
take summer holiday. 1t was missed
in July from the dukes Forest of
Wentworth, near Chepstow, Mon
reouthshire, and has been found at
Newport, in the same county. The tor
tor had walked to the outskirts of
Newport-eight or nine miles-and
then had been picked up and carried
into the town. The age of the dukes
tortoise is given approximately" by
the forest rangers, but it has hiber-
mated under a particular rock in the
forest for thirty years, and it's great
age is inferred from its size and
weight. 1t is eighteen inches long and
weighs ten pounds. There is nothing
unusual in such longevity; patriarch
in the "Zoo," known as Methuselah,
died three years ago at the reputed
age of two hundred and fifty.
