NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.

by NOTT1dns
New York, Oct. 15.-Anybody who
thinks woman can't throw
straight ought to have been in the
Carlton Terrace restaurant, on up
per Broadway, few evenings ago.
She was such a demure looking
little thing, too-only about 20 or 81,
apparently, and maybe 100 pounds in
avoirdupois.
There were four at the table, two
elderly young men, of the blase type,
the girl with the Wallie Schang arm,
and another young lady very much
like her., There wasn't a drop of
booze on the table.
1t was about o'clock, between
the dinner and supper crowds, and
the Carlton Terrace was only sparse
ly filed. A cabaret show was going
on, on a platform about half way
down the long room.

Well, the east side had its re-
venge on the local diamond Fri
day. The game started with a
snap and vim and retained the
same all through the zine innings.
1t looked for long time-till the
close of the ninth inning as if the
west side were again going to
walk away with it. but in that
inning the east side with a do OF
die split succeeded in running il
the winning score. Too mucf
changing of material on the ives,
side had something to do with
losing the game. This makes i
one and one ard that is what make
it interesting. Another game viii
be played in the near future an
we predict that the crowd will b
more in attendance.

Rival Of Gasoline

| Ie name motor SplrlCS, IL
merely descriptive of the new fluid
and conveys but little information
as to what the article really is i.
Briefly stated, it is a product of
an entirely Lew method of manu-
facture or distilling from crude
petroleum, and discovered by one
of the Standard Oil chemists after
two years of experimenting The
rapid increase of consumption OF
gasoline through the tremendous
output of the automobile factories
has not only increased the cost of
gasoline fifty per cent in the last
Is months, but caused much ap-
prehensiOn as to the future, fears
that in a few years the piice would
be prohibitive. The discovery of
process whereby the amount of
gasoline from a given quantity of
crude petroleum can be doubled
has not only served to allay un-
easiness for the time being but the
price of the new fuel is nearly 3
cents less per gallon. To be
exact, the difference is 2. 40 per
gallon less.
In the ordinary course of distil-
lation there is given off from every
$50 gallons of crude petroleum
certain per cent of high grade gas
oline. the intermediate and the
low grades, in all totaling about
20 to % gallons. The other 70
per cent consists of about 40 gal
Ions of kerosene and what is left
is residue either marketed as
crude petroleum for power purpos-
es or made into by products
From this residue motor spirits is
now made and an amount of
gasoline originally distilled, thus
doubling the product of fuel prac-
teal for power purposes, from
every barrel of oil taken from the
earth
The new fuel is slightly yellow
in color and with distinctive
OdOr-sO much so in fact that it
will not only be distinct but stink
if spilled around carelessly. 1t is
noticeable, however, only when
handling the liquid, the exhaust
from an engine not being as
offensive as from gasoline. Motor
spirits could be refined further and
remove the color and the odor, but
the cost would make the product
as high as gasoline.
1t has been stated that the new
fuel will give more power at less
cost, but recent exhaustive eX-
periments by automobile manu-
facturers and makers of carburet-
ors does not bear out this state
ment. But the tests thus far dc
demonstrate that there is no type
of combustion engine in which
motor spirits will not perform fully
as we'll as gasoline. 1t is not
necessary to use a different car
buretor and the stuff will start 8
motor as easily as gasoline. 1t
should of course be thoroughly
understood that mOror spirits i.
not intended for use in stoves OF
lamps-it is not suited for these
purposes.

urged that it be given attention
and that the lands be opened to

Has Iowa No Crops "To Move? ?''

In the recent apportionment of
that $50,O0O,OOO "to move the
crops" the secretary of the treasury
seems to have put some queer esti-
mates on the states that grow the
crops that require moving, says the
Cedar Rapids Republican.
For instance, Iowa received a
grand total of $1,000,O00, while the
District of Columbia, which is little
larger than one Iowa county received
half million to move its crops,
which consist largely of garden
truck and politicians. The great
state of Maryland adjacent to the
District of Columbia, received $2,-
100000, nearly three times as much
as Iowa and Maryland probably rails
es enough of crops that need moving
to wad modern 14-inch battleship
gun. The state of Missouri, where
the corn was all burnt up received
an even $5,000,0OO or five times as
much as Iowa. Louisiana received
$4,000, 900, and what do they have
to move compared with Iowa? Even
such states as North Carolina, with
$1,000, 900, Tennessee with $1,950,-
coo, Virginia with $1,450,00O, South
Carolina with $1,500,00O, Kentucky
with $1,650,000, Georgia with ST.
$50, 900, and Alabama with S1,500,-
900, all were placed ahead of Iowa
and yet it is conceded that Iowa has
more crops to move and more agri-
cultural wealth than any two or
three of the states named.
The distribution of that fund for
the moving of crops was more finan-
cial and political than anything else.
The bulk of the money went to the
southern bankers. 1t was put out
under the guise of a crop moving
scheme, but it smacks loudly of fav-
/ oritism for certain states that have
few crops to move, but that have a
great many politicians to appease.

the House of Representatives only
one month, including in this the
time it was considered in caucus.
Washington Base Ball Mad.
While the Mexican situation, the
tariff, the currency problem, and 9TH
er great public questions have seem
ingly monopolized the attention OF
what Senator Lodge terms a tired
out Congress it is not to be forgot
ten that Washington is the home OF
the famous Walter Johnson, the
greatest baseball pitcher In the
country; and there are plenty of dull
moments during which the President,
Members of Congress and other safe
guards of the nations welfare, root
at the great American game. Wash
ington is baseball mad.
Re-uniting the Party.
Confabs and discussions about re-
uniting the Republican party, have
been revived, only to receive the
emphatic disapproval of Colonel
Roosevelt and his fellow Progress
sives, who emphatically declare that
they will not PLAY. In Congress
the different Republican elements
are going along very smoothly, but
the Progressives are maintaining
their own organization and carrying
out their own politics, and if the
statements Of leaders in the Capital
are to be taken as indicating condi-
tions then the wedding of the politi-
cal parties is a long way off.

PAYING THE ROAD TAX.
A Common Sense Way of Viewing the
Difference Between Good and
Bad Roads.

There are two ways Of paying tax
es. Maybe you never thought of
but one. But here are two concrete
examples that illustrate the point.
Two farmers had access to the
market reports by phone, and both
learned that the price of cotton was
advanced a dollar bale orr a cer-
tain morning. One lived in a country
where roads were good, the other
where they were bad. Both used
the same market
One farmer hauled but one bale
because he couldn't get through
with a larger load His gain for
the days trip was $1.00. The 9TH
er farmer hauled four bales at a
load because the roads were good
He made S4.O0 gain, and did il
quicker than the other man made
his 800. In other words, one man
paid $500 tax that day on roads,
bad roads at that, and would contin-
ue to pay such tax until his county
got good roads, says Successful
Farming. =.
A farmer in Sullivan county, rem
had one hundred bushels of potatoes
rot in his cellar because he couldn't
haul them to his market place on
account Of bad roads. Potatoes
went to $1.4O bushel, and the
town was shipping them in to feeo
that locality. Not only potatoes were
shipped in, but ten carloads of al
kinds of food products. The farm
ers lost that market by not being able
to reach it. They paid big tax fol
their bad roads.
So it goes. Wherever roads are
bad at any season of the year the
farmers pay big road tax by theil
losses. Yet they complain not, mol
do they weep. But let anyone advo
cate paved roads so they can reacf
market any day in the year and they
complain of the taxes. They abuse
the one who would in the END save
them money.
What's the difference, whether yo,
lose $1,000 on market loss because
of bad roads, or pay $1,000 towards
road tax that gives you a perma
nent market? The difference Il
many fold the $1,000. One is a per
petual tax-and poor business.

Inc Loan SHARKS OF washington.
The lobby investigation in the
House has brought out important
facts in connection with the manner
in which loan sharks have been able
to influence certain Congressman,
notably illustrated in the case of Nc
Dermott of Illinois, and succeeded
for many years in conducting a busi-
ness which was well-nigh a curse to
a portion of the 10000 government
employees in the Capital. Washing
ton has innumerable installment
places that sell everything from a
package Of pins to an entire house
keeping outfit, or braces of jewelry.
The loan sharks have no difficulty
in collecting from three to ten per
cent per month on loans, and the bus
mess has been profitable because the
sharks held a club over the head of
their visitors in the government de-
partments. A year ago Congress be-
gan driving out the money lenders,
and those who still stick to the busi-
ness transact their affairs across the
Potomac in Virginia.
1.-THE Ayes Have It,"
Sitting in the Senate gallery while
certain features of the tariff bill are
being completed, one occasionally
hears the Vice president order, "All
in favor will say aye. All opposed
will say no. No one answers-not
a peep is heard from the Senate, but
the Vice president rules, ''the ayes
have it," And thus the great I'm
derwood tariff bill which the coun-
try is led to believe is producing a
scrap in the Senate about every three
minutes, Is proceeding merrily on it's
way to the President. There has
been a great debate upon this bill
and Vice President Marshall has rul-
ed the Senate with an easy hand. At
most any time of the day he may be
observed doubled up like a jack
knife in his easy chair, in contrast
to the dignified pose of his predeces-
sors, Sherman and Fairbanks.
The wisconsin Senatorshlp.
Washington is very much inter
ested in a report from Wisconsin to
the effect that Congressman Lenroot
| is a candidate to succeed Senator
Stephenson, and will have the oppo-
sition of Senator LaFollette. Here
tofore the two men have been very
closely affiliated, and Lenroot has
been so regular as an advocate OF
the LaFollette program that it has
been charged by his enemies that he
was a sort of rubber stamp states
man."

PITY FOR AMATEUR IN
FORGERY is MISPLACED

PAssAIc, N. u Feb. 15.-clifford
Smith. 81. of Providence. r. l., was
convicted of signing the name of
Henry Y. r. Scheel, a manufacturer,
to check for $25, which he tried to
cash at a bank.
Judge Hughes, saying he regarded
him as a bungling amateur at forging,
sentenced him to but three months.
A few hours afterward the police re-
ceived word from the Providence au-
thorities that Smith was wanted there
on three charges of forgery.
