cause the straightforward, clean
cut appearance of the young man

sundry devious and doubtful
short cuts, while Tortoise"
Mowbray remained pretty much
where he had started, in the &C
counting office.
The "hare" made money and
spent it recklessly, while the tor
toise" put his aside, added to it,
and lived modestly and sober1y.
They were always friends of
sort, for Mowbray was patron
lied by Snyder and never openly
resented it.
The test of this friendship came
when they both fell in love with
the same girl. Cynthia Lanfrey
was a niece of DaVenrich and
lived in big building on Madi-
son avenue, where she kept house
for him. At this period the
"hare" and tortoise" had been
working with the corporation for
nearly ten years. Snyder was
pretty near the top, thanks to the
pull" aforementioned, and was
a constant visitor at Davenrich's
home. Mowbray was invited
casually, on some grand occasion;
but Cynthia liked him and he was
invited again.
Then, one evening, Mowbray
told Cynthia his story in a plain,

fRY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
INDIANAPOLIS. March 2l.-At the
Democratic state convention today
Governor Marshall advocated tariff re-
form, law enforcement and govern
mental economy. His speech is re-
garded as a declaration of principles
upon which he will make the presi-
dental nomination race. He opposed
the enactment of the initiative, refer
endum and recall laws, saying that
conditions are not grave enough yet
TO demand the most radical measures.
He urged a tariff for revenue only.
Adopting a platform endorsing a
child labor law and employers liabil-
ity act, the Democratic state conven-
tion today nominated by acclamation
Samuel Ralston of Lebanon as can
didate for governor. 1t endorsed Gov

SUGAR TRUST PAID
100000 TO KEEP
PLANTS CLOSED.
But Despite Leading Questions Han
nam Would Not Admit That Dew
ious Methods Were Used to Keep
Record of Deal Off the Books of
Big Concern.

San Francisco, Cal, July 25.-The
examination of William H. Hannah,
secretary of the Western and Spreck-
les Sugar Refining companies, was
resumed at today's hearing of the
governments suit in equity against
the so-called sugar trust.
Prosecutor James R. Knapp secur-
ed admissions from Hannah at yes
terday's hearing that 100000 a year
had been paid by the American Sugar
Refining company to keep the Califor
mia companies closed but he was
unsuccessful in his attempt to estab
lish the fact that devious methods had
been used in making the payments
to keep the entries off the books.
Attorney Knapp indicated that he
would follow the same line of ques
tioning at today's hearing. Suppos
ed attempts of the trust to crush com
petition by small Independent mann
facturers, through systematic price
cutting, also were scheduled for in
vestigation.

FEAR BRYAN

Oyster Bay, N Y, July 25.-ColoneI
Roosevelt smiled today when he was
told of reports that William J. Bryan
would follow his train through the
campaign. "Bryan?" he asked
The Colonel's jaw shot forward ag.
gressively and his teeth came to-
gether with a sharp click.
81 don't see that there is anything
for me to say at this time" he added.
1t was pointed out that Colonel
Roosevelt and Colonel Bryan have
crossed swords in two national cam
paigns and that the ex-president is
thoroughly familiar with the charac-
teristics of the Nebraskan, while
thas far he has had no opportunity
to become acquainted with the fight
ing qualities of the democratic nom-
inee of 1912. Colonel Roosevelt was
| irritated by the opinion given by Ja-
cob Livingston, New York state cleo
tion commissioner. that under the law
no candidates for presidential elect
ors could be named by petition by the
national progressive party in this
state.

LOEB TO QUIT JOB
AND STAND BY
THEODORE TOO

Washington, D. c., July 25.-Treas-
TRY department officials are not in.
clined to say they believe the report
that William Loeb, Jr., collector OF
customs at New York, and former sec
retary to President Roosevelt is about
to resign to join Roosevelt's new
party.
Reports here impending changes in
the cabinets continue. Secretary Ma
gel is the latest mentioned. The sec
retary has told friends he would not
serve after March 4, should Mr.. Taft
be reelected and so has Attorney
General Wickersham. This is believ'
ed to be the basis for the most recent
reports that they are to retire.
Reports that CollectoF Loeb intend
ed to resign to join Colonel Roosevelt
have been current for some time but
have been impossible of verification
as Mr. Loeb is on hunting trip in
Colorado. He is not expected back for
several days.

Mr., Sheldon
Wasn't it a subject of correspond

no sir, Mr.. Roosevelt never knew
anything about it until long after the

What was there about letter

wasn't the public first apprised Of
this contribution through a letter the
president had written to Mr.. Harri-
man."
Il cannot tell you,' replied Mr..

BY that you mean that you have no

81 had no knowledge"
Mr. Sheldon referred to his books

The senate committee has been

taken up the question of asking Mr..
