their splendid work for scientif- |
ic tariff revision. Oh, but there
is campaign coming
Colonel Roosevelt complains
that people are afraid to go to
see him, for fear of being com
promised in matters of politics,
which goes to prove that in the
affairs of the nation. and in
great Gotham human nature
paddles its course just about the
same as at Squashville Castle,
where fractional jealousy is no
more in evidence in the school
deestricts" than in the places of
power when presidents and
rulers are made and unmade.
In the Capital itself there is
always this fear of making calls
on certain public men for fear
of being compromised.
Poor old Ohio, the home of
Presidents. is having hard time
of it. Besides being the home
of Taft, it also has Go-ernor
Harmon to push as a presidential
candidate as though these two
burdens were not enough there
are the difficulties of the Gar
fieldites and about all the other
ties going The Buckeyeites
have also listened to Senator La
Toilette, who has invaded the
state and added to the joy and
confusion of political knowledge.
Ohio seems to be the storm cen
ter of the political cyclone, and
this rush of politicians to it in
dictate that all classes OF PAL ty
leaders are eager to be on hand
when the rainbow comes up, in
hopes that the pot of gold may
be theirs.
The President gave himself a
Christmas treat by eluding his
two constant guards, and for the
first time since he became Pres
ident he walked through Wash
ington streets without being fol
lowed by secret service men.
Mr.. and Mrs Taft went calling
on friends on Christmas day,
and when it was discovered that
they had both eluded Mr.. Will
kie'S men there was consider
able CONSERVATION about the
White House.
The New Jersey mosquito is
losing his prestige, as according
to the Consul at Dawson, the
Klondike has the longest billed
and most savage skeeters in ex
istence,l and the worst of it is
according to the consul, it is i'm
possible to destroy them, as they
propagate in the heavy moss
that grows here, which contains
moisture almost equal to SWAMP
lands. It has been determine
that the mosquito is more mum
erous in the Attic Zone than il
the tropics, though there is Mt
land too hot or too cold for it:
habitation.
Indications are that the ole
and established Lorimer iDvesti
. cation will maintain its prestig,
as the most spectacular of al
such shows, notwithstanding
the intrusion of the probers o
. the trusts, and the Investigator
of government departments. F'o
real fuel for the yellow journal
lists and the spreading of re,
, printers ink, it is safe to sa.
t that the case of the Illinois sen
ator will not be outclassed b.

MIR. AdOlpn WlScndH VI oho
Census Bureau, has an, accumu-
lation of knowledge about print
ing and publishing that puts the
people who handle the director
les and run the big publishing
houses in class s'Z". If Mr..
Wischan could tell half he knows
there would be an army OF CIR
culation liars leaving city offices
temporarily to lead what Mrs.
Upton Sinclair and the pl-faced
poet of Kansas call the spirit
ual existence way off where
other people don't wander. The
report by Mr.. Wischan. in
charge of compiling these status
tics at the census bereau, has
just appeared and shows that
printing and publishing is no
mean industry. There were 81.
445 printing establishments OF
all kinds in the United States in
1909, and materials valued at
S2O1 ,775, 900 were used; 358, O42
persons were engaged in the in
dustry during that year.
Now that Senator LaFollette
is afeld promoting his candidacy
for the Presidency, Republican
supporters of the administration
are vociferously declaring that
President Taft will have walk
over at the Chicago convention.
This may, or may not be fact,
and most interested persons be-
ing prejudiced one way or an
other, are apt to figure the ultl-
mate result to suit the exigen-
cies of their own minds. 1t is,
however, very apparent, that
aside from the Presidential trip
of the country and the results
that may have been in the pro-
gressive camp so far. L h e
National organizations evidently
are depending upon the different
states to fight out their own deS-
tiny and the first results of this
policy of inaction have just been
counted in Arizona, where there
has been a Democratic landslide.
The Democratic House of Rep
resentatives is not going to start
tariff legislation with schedule
K as was expected, and Mr.
Underwood, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee
announced an entire different
schedule, and puts well along

COCAINE IS DRUG
 USED BY CREATURES OF THE UNDERWORLD
"GangSters" and White Slavers Are Addicted to Its Use- Bridgeport Has Its
 Share

Bridgeport has small army of CO., caine users.
 Incidental to the murder of Rosen- thai in New York and the shooting of Jennie CaVaIieri in Stratford on Tues day night, many people have been awed by the cold bloodedness of the affairs and wondered what it was that nerVed creatures of the underworld up to- the point of emptying a revolver into anotIer human under conditions that were almost certain to lead to their appfeH7ension and arrest
 sIts the coke, that does it." said a man last night who is familiar with the doings of those of the half world Why, when you have enough of that stuff in your system you have the feel ing that you are invisible. Your that you believe that you can do any being seen.''
 The same young man who became acquainted with number of we'll dressed young chaps about one of the local pool rooms discovered that they were all 'tcoke" users and that the most of them lived on the earnings of women. He says that he was induced to try some of the stuff one night and he had the sensation of walking along the edges of number of the tall buildings and hopping down to the ground with the ease of a bird
 It is against the law in this state to sell cocaine without the prescription of doctor, but this young fellow who knows many of the coke users says that they buy a certain prepared pill which contains an ingredient which produces almost the same effect as the "coke.'' The pills have to be ground into a powder But the real stuff is purchased in New York One young man who is employed in local factory is said to have acquired the habit through association with a resi- dent of the underworld, whom he met in a local pool room and billiard par Tor This young fellow recently went to New York and purchased $25 worth of the drug from an Illicit dealer there and incurred the enmity of a number of his pals here because he declined to give up even pinch of the stuff, although he was known to be generous with his money.
 Several of the usens of the drug have supplied themselves with the sawed off tubes of fountain pens which they fill with the cocaine and inha1e the stuff from the tube.
 The young man who has got away from the effects of the drug says that he believes that there are about 200 of the drug users in this city, and in his opinion the number is increasing, and number of the males bearing the reputation of white -s1ayers are the principle users and dealers in the drug.
 The cocaine users are said to have no desire to drink alcoholic liquors to any great extent. and the use of the drug is said to whiten the skin after it's use for considerable time

DEFENSE FUND NOT
 EVIDENCE OF GUILT
ATTORNEYS IN DYNAMITE CON. SPlRAcY ARGUE THAT UNIONS
 WERE NOT TO BLAME.

Indianapolis Ind, Dec. 20.-Be- cause the labor union officials now on trial helped to raise a defense fund for the McNamara brothers. was argued before the jury at the dyna mite conspiracy trial today as not indicating guilty knowledge on the part of the 40 defendants
 Tt has been repeatedly charged by the government that these defendants showed their implication in the dyna. mite plots because oi their efforts to help the McNamaras while the Me. NalnaTas were locked up in Los An geies and before they pleaded guilty, said NJ. C. Tiff of Minneapolis, con tinuing the argument for the defense
 having every confidence that John ]. MoNamara their brother union Of ficial, was innocent it was the duty of these defendants to hslp them.
 The very enormlty ot the crime at Los Angeles, the very boldness and extent to which explosions had been carried on secretly TOT years, made II unthinkable taat the secretary of the Iron Workers international union committed them CT caused them to be committed. Had the defendants raised defense fund after the Me Namara pleaded guilty, then they would have been criticism, but no' otherwise John l.. was the brains of the pets and these men scattered over the country were not closely enough associated with him to nave become acquainted with his crim inal acts"
 Defending Chas N. Beum, Aiahea uolis. and Fred J Mooney, Duluth whom he especially represented, MT Tint said they had no knowledge oi any st.0O0 month ussd by the Me Namaras for dynamiting expenses
 Attorney J C. Leffler replied to statements by the district attorney that most of the defendans were waking delegates and business agents wAo did not work but whe used the funds of labor unions tC further their own ambitions. "Iht nusiness agent has mission" said Mir. Lefner His mission is 70 pro cure for lahorng men the wages which laboring men otherwise wouio not get" ,.
 United States Senator John W Kern will argue for the defense nex' Monday. He will be followed by tht closing statements of the govern ments. All of the argument Is to b' concluded by next Thursday, wher the only detail remaining before th' jury retires will be the lnstruetlon' of federal judge Albert B. Anderson

DIAMOND MERCHANT SLAIN FOR REVENGE
BELIEVED FREED CONNECTS HAD A HAND IN MURDER OF CHI
 CAGo GEM MERCHANT.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Reyenge. accord ing to the police, prompted the mur der of J. H Lague. diamond mer chant, who was killed in his ofiies in the Mcvicker theatre building II the center of the shopping district about noon today.
 There is no clue to the slayer O: slayers. Logue is said to have been responsible for the sentencing oi some diamond thieves to prison in 1905 or 1906 and police are working on the theory that they having re gained their freedom. may have been implicated in the killing. The po- lice believe a woman may have been included in the plot because Logue was gagged with black ribbon
 Severteen knife wounds were m his body, which caused the revenge theory to be advanced. He was also shot in the right shoulder but the wound would not have caused death physicians said His mouth was burned with acid and his skull crush ed. Part of Logue's right thumb was almost severed. indicating q hand to hand struggle.
 Whether robbery entered into the crime has net been determined. The office safe was locked but bloody finger prints and a bloody rag were found inside. Clean impressions oi the prints were obtained and the pc lice hope they may prove valuable clue.
 ogue never carried very large stock of goods. He was a jobDer and ! atolase1 oiamonds and other jewell cry only as he thought he saw a ready .narRet for it.
 Immediately after hearing of the murder, Chief of Police McWeeny ordered 250 extra policemen from out lying districts to report to him to aid in the search for the slayers.
 Stephen Doiza. 16 years old office boy and Logue's emrloye, found ths body npon returning from lunch When Doiza was questioned by the police he told of returning to the office and finding the shade to the front door drawn and lock fastened On entering with pass key he saw the body of his employer lying in corner partly covered with news paper, Doiza then spread the alarm.

SHOULD SUBMIT
 ID ARBITRATION
AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY BE- LiEVES THIS COUNTRY SHOULD
 SEEK TO AR5lrRATE.

Washington, Dec. 20-That the United States should submit to arbi tration of the Panama canal contTov ersy between Great Britain and this country, was the declaration made tonight by Everett P Wheeler, ol New York at tle opening session here of the American Society for the Judi cial Settlement of International DIS putes
 It is inconceivable, he asserted that after the United States mas settled by arbitration far more i'm portant controversies between itsel1 and Great Britain than any that car possibly arise with reference to the Panama canal it should refuse tC refer to an impartial tribunal formed in pursuance of a treaty which thS United States itself proposed, this pure question of law as to what tht Hay-Pauncefote treaty means"
 The speaker secuted the idea thai it would be impossible to procure un biased and impartial arbitrators. lie said this was doing moral injustice to the judges who form the panel oi the high court at The Hague, who are not arbitrators put forward by each nation to maintain it's own interests out judges of high character, learn ing and ability
 Insofar as the Hague tribunal is concerned" Mir. Wheeler continued, most of the judges are citizens of na- tions that have but a trifling interest in the controversy or perhaps none al all But if it were otherwise it woull be better thousand times that the United States should submit its case to this tribunal than that it should be false to tis plighted faith and the honorable traditions of 125 years
 More than usual interest attached to this years meeting of the society because of the important international questions at stake, both at home ana abroad. among them the Balkan, aPan- anna and Mexican situations.
 Thomas Willing Balch of Philadel- phia expressed the opinion that many improvements might be made in the existing code of international law and that much could be accomplished through constructive legislation by future peace congresses. The grad ual development of international arDi- tration." said he, has educated a large part of humanity to. realize that war is a costly as well as a brutal way of settling differences between nations The maintenance of the peace of the world owes much today to the practice during the past hall century of settling many disputes be tween nations by international judi cial courts so that it is only reason able to suppose that much more may be gained in the future through the same means"

COVE EMINENT WOULD RECOVER MILLIONS IN VALUABLE LANDS
 FROM RAILWAY.
GOVERNMENT ALLEGES FRAUD
Claims Dummy Company Duped the Federal Government and Has Been Extracting Valuable Ores
 From Mines on the Land.

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 20.--'rhe complaint in the long expected suit of the federal government against the Southern Pacific railroad involving title to s250, 0,O00.0OO worth of supposed mineral bearing lands, was filed here today in the United States court tor the southern district of California. Other suits are to follow in wnich the government will contest the own ership of a total of $750 000000 worth of lands, according to E. D. Towne- send, special assistant 10 the attor- ney general of the United States. Mr. Townsend, with T. J Butler, also a special assistant, will prosecute the suit The latter filed the complaint.
 The suit is brought under the act of congress passed July 27 1866, re quiring the department of the inter- for to exempt mineral bearing lands in issuing patents to railroads. rne government will contend that of 44N,- 000 acres of land on the main line of the Southern Pacific, 45,726 acres are mineral bearing and must revert to the public domain. The land ts for the most part in the Coalinga oil field, and is. under the lease to the Kern Trading and Oil company, subsidiary of the Southern Pacific and joint defendant in the suit
 Following is the full list of defend- ants.
 The Southern Pacific company. fEe Southern Jaciiic Railroad company. the Kern Trading and Oil company. the Associated oil company, the Southern Pacific Land company, the Central Trust company of New York; Homer s. King, the St. Paul Consoii- dated oil company, the Seier Oil com pany. the Coainga Oil and Gas com pany, the Guthrey Oil company, the Confidence Oil compahy, the Asfso- ciated Pipe Line. the Section Seven oil company. c.

 All the co-defendants are alleged to hold leases on Southern Pacific lands and to be paTticipators in profits from their mineral yield.
 The contested patent was issued July 10, 1894. The patent was ac- cepted gays the complaint with fuii in the statutory exeep- ton of mineral bearing lands.
 In charging fraudulent practices on the part of the railroad company in securing the patent, the complaint says:
 Tt was also the secret and fraudui- ent purpOse or saiu SU5tffSfi; sS-ellis railroad and it's officers and agents to conceal from the plaintiff the true facts in the premises until more than six years had elapsed from the date of the issuance of said patent to the end that the plaintiff should de- layed in the institution of judicial proceedings"
 The Southern Pacific Land company is described as a dummy corpora- tion. Each of the defendants, with the exception of the Central Trust company of New York and Homer ;. King, is alleged to have extracted large quantities of minerals from the lands.
