RATES UP IN BALTIMORE.
Secretary Woodson Declares Complaint
Is General.

Greensboro. Ky, March lin spite
of the assurance of Robert Grain. chair
man of the Baltimore convention COM
mittee. that hotel rates will not be
raised in Baltimore during the national
convention. Trey Woodson, secretary of
the Democratic national committee, in
s:sts that complaints at exorbitant rates
are almost general among members
OF the national committee"
When informed of Mr.. Grains state
mcnt. Mr. Woodson said;
Il wish to deny that my complaint
against Baltimore hotel rates was based
upon treatment of myself, for the Ken
lucky delegation alone. This complaint
is almost general among members of
the national committee of exorbitant
rates. Baltimore hotels cannot deny
they signed an agreement not to raise
rates. and the proof is abundant that
the contracts they are exacting of
of the national committee show
they have raised rates outrageously. |

tracts. Let us have the proof. / deny
that Mr.. Grain, though he has been very
kind in trying to do so, succeeded in
getting for Kentucky or any other state

rate"

and a Former Convict.

New York, March Frank Redmond,
the black sheep of a gentle born fam
ily of Brooklyn, and James Cassidy
his associate, who did time in Sing Sing,
we're near collapse yesterday when at
the end of long examination, Magis-
trate Mcclure, in the Flatbush police
court, held them for the Kings county
grand jury on the charge OF killing
and robbing Walter Meseritz, haber-
dasher, at 779 ,Flatbush avenue, last
Saturday.
Assistant District Attorney Everett
Caldwell Intercepted ten witnesses
whose testimony the magistrate thought
sufficient TO Justify further investigation
by grand Jury, John j. Curtain OF
l05 Broadway, attorney for both de-
fendants, asserted that his clients were
in danger of immolation through pub
lie clamor for victim to answer for
the death of Meseritz.
The most damaging testimony was the
Identification of the pair as the men
who pawned three safety razors proved
to have been taken from Meseritz's hab-
.erdashery between noon and 1880
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The disposing of the stolen prop
crty may not be enough to convict the
defendants of the crime of killing Mes
eritz. but it is circumstance that
should be placed for what it is worth
before tribunal competent to try the
otfense of murder, declared Magistrate
Mcclure. The prisoners arc remanded
for the grand jury
At this announcement, both Redmond
and Cassidy, who had sat through the
two hour hearing listening attentively
brt seldom looking at witness, turned
pale. Cassidy was the first TO be taken
before the bar for the formality of the
pedigree. The answers stuck i'll his
throat and when they came it was in
husky utterance Redmond also APP
peared to be weak. He gulped twice
before he could give the information
required. When they were asked wheth
er they desired TO make statement
Lawyer Curtain came to their relief.
No; not at this time" he said

New York, March Limited States
Senator Dixon of Montana last night ac-
cepted the leadership of Theodore Roose-

charge of the Roosevelt headquarters in
Washington; Alexander II. Revell, also
of Chicago, chairman of the national
Roosevelt committee, and Republican
State Chairman Frank Knox of Michi-
gan. who has been active at the Roose-
welt headquarters at Chicago.
Stories from Washington to the eff
feet that Mr. Mccormick is miffed at
the colonel's desire to place Senator Dix
on over him in the national work
brought the following denial from Mr.
Mccormick yesterday:
For ten days have done everything
possible to induce Senator Dixon to UNI
dertake the direction of the campaign
for Col. Roosevelt's nomination. Other
friends of Col. Roosevelt have seen Sem
ator Dixon for the same purpose, and
| hope that he may decide to under
take the work, although it mean very
great sacrifice for him. The statement
that | am put out or came over here
for any such purpose a. that attributed
to me, is sineularly silly and impos-
sihle"

New York, March Flour prisoners

berry of S25 900 from two bank mes
sengers in taxieab in Church street
on Feb. Is were indicted yesterday by
the grand jury. The blanket bill, col

o'clock yesterday afternoon
The defendants named in the indict-
ment are Edward Kinsman, alias Col
Inns; Jess Albruzzo, Geno Montani, driy-
er of the taxieab, and Joseph Lamb, be-
lieyed by the police to be supernu-
merary.
Eugene Splaine, who, the authorities
are convinced, was the brains OF the
gang of alleged robbers, and who was
arrested on Feb. p in Memphis, Tenn,
was not indicted. The grand jury, how
ever, will continue its action either to-
day or next week, said Assistant Dis

in which the holdup occurred.
SchwtZer related the story Of a mys-
terious conversation he declared he had

driver.

Many Athletes In Olympic Games.

Many Athletes In Olympic Games.
The victories of American athletes
in past Olympian games have been so
consistent that every other competing
country Is making special efforts TO
break the chain of triumphs at the
coming games at Stockholm next
July. 1t is expected that entries for
the track and field events will be re.
ceived from close TO twoscore nations
and subsidiary territories.
1t Is evident, therefore, that the
American team for the 1912 Olympic
meet will have to be bigger and bet
ter than ever before in order to main
tain the supremacy and status achiev-
ed in the preceding games. Close fol-
lowers of athletics in this country be-
leye that the mammoth meet of next
summer will be more closely contested
than ever before and that new 0lym-
pic records viii be established in
number of events.

snail chance to live more than q few
years without suffering a breakdown.
But this objection does not meet the
fact that in most cases the American
has no desire for permanent resi-
dence in the oriental archipelago, nor
does it take account of the relief found
b.! visits to the highlands of the is
lands.
American women continue to write
hcme telling of the refreshing condi-
tons of those highlands not far from
Manila and of Japan, as seen in vaca-
ton time. So the most serious phase
OF the problem is not how these 5000
wanted wives could exist over on the
other side of the world, but how they
can be wooed and WOE.
Perhaps there can be found enough
forlorn women in Boston to supply
the demand.

LESS LIKE WHAT SHERMAN
SAID 1T WAS.

War is still a very fair sample Of
hell on earth, nor is there any pros
pect that it will ever be so denatural-
lied that General Sherman's famous
definition will no longer fit the facts.
But it takes a war like the one in
southeastern Europe to show how
great the change has been in the last
half century where civilized nations
fight.
The condition of the Turkish sol
diers, starving, dying of cholera, left
without shelter or camp fires in the
sect and cold rains of November, is
a sample of what the armies of the
most advanced countries used to en-
6ure a few decades ago. BY the hor-
rcrs of pestilence and famine, naked
ness and cold, neglect of the wounded
and the sick, which the soldiers Of
the sultan are suffering, the advance
which civilization has made in war
becomes so apparent that the most
pessimistic can no longer doubt tbe
reality of the gains brought about by
the humane spirit Of the age.
And in the treatment of non-com-
batants-the women, the children, the
sick and inflrm, the aged and the
crippled-by the soldiers of armies
sucn as that of the Turks, these
times find a vivid revelation OF what
ell wars were once expected to bring
upon the unoffending, peaceful inhah-
itants of the regions in which they
were waged. A war between Germany
and France, or the United States and
the United Kingdom, would not let
loose as much absolute savagery and
restial cruelty in a year as the COM
paratively small conflict in the Bal
kan peninsula has uncovered in a
month
So although wars continue and the
fine dreams which took shape in the
creation of The Hague tribunal seem
a mockery, in the light Of existing
facts, there is real and enduring prog
ress toward the gradual elimination
Of the worst evils which international
conflicts have brought upon mankind.
4 I he gains are of great value and they
will increase as time goes on. In
spite Of seeming setbacks, the world
makes progress, even in dealing with
/ the greatest curses from which hu'
nianity still continues to suffer.

TENDENCY.

By far the most important institu-
ton of municipal control is the Rock
Island waterworks plant, and hence it
is that the proposition to employ a
general superintendent at the salary of
$4,000 a year, which the commission
has seen At 10 put up TO the people. is
one that should command serious con-
sideradon, and that without prejudice
The Argus is quite in accord with
the idea that a plant representing
valuation OF 100000 and involving
that which is of greatest interest to
the people. should be removed as fs<
as possible from politics and conduct
ed on strictly business principles. The
man who is TO be intrusted with the
responsibilities of its management
should be possessed Of experience in
his particular line; he should
be an expert. He should not

THE MAN WHO BEAT CANNON.

Frank T. O'Hair of Paris, who de-
feated former Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon for congressman in the Eigh,
teenth Illinois district, is a man of
humble origin and is close to the peo-
PIE in his sympathies and actions.
Born in a log cabin in a remote
district OF Edgar county, AZ years ago,
OF Irish parentage, his boyhood days
were spent upon the farm. His edu-
cation was received in the common
schools and Depauw university. He
is a graduate of the law school. Upon
returning from college he began prac-
ticing law in Paris, and has become
one OF the leading attorneys of east
ern Illinois and western Indiana.
In 1892 he ran for mayor of Paris
against D. D. Huston and was defeat
Ell by the man who later became his
father-in-law. During that campaign
he made things so hot for his oppo-
nent that he was forbidden the house
by the irate father of the girl he later
married, but affairs OF the heart were
subordinated to the political exigen-
tltS anu 4C " 90 AoiGA AOA BAfCh-
That was the only time he ever fig
ured as a candidate for a political Of
fee prior to going after Uncle Joe's
scalp. He went into the race reluc-
family, but after 1t was once launched,
astonished old campaigners by the
success attending his first get &C.
quainted" tour of the district, and his
speechmaking during the last days of
the campaign.
He is eloquent, witty, a keen logi-
clan and pleader, and while Cannon
was hurting his volleys of statistics
at his audiences O'Hair was mingling
With the voters clad in rusty suit
and old SLOUGH hat, going into the
fields, homes and stores and gaining
friends on every side by his winsome
personality.

On Beino Calm,

One OF the finest things within reach
Of the average individual is calmness.
1t is also profitable.
Calmness Is the twin sister of COM
fort The man or woman who has
formed the habit Of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are IN
comfortable
Nor is It such a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member Of the family!
For calmness is about ninety per
cent freedom from fear.
As rule. the person who is not calm
is afraid Of something or somebody.
Afraid Of self. perhaps And that Is
the most disconcerting sort of fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm
When the winds OF adversely or dis
appointment or encouragement are
seeking to ruf1e your mental seas.
keep remembering that there Is no
such a thing as a comfortable passage
with the waves beating high So. keep
calm--Philadelphia NorIa AasTisaa-
