Toledo, GA barge canal nine
feet deep and from 80 to $50 feet
wide, extending from Lake Erie at
Toledo to the Ohio river at Cincn-
natl on the route of the Miami and

commission in it's three-week tour un-
der instructions from the legislature
to determine what should be done with
Ohio's system of artificial waterways.
The tour terminated at Toledo Sun
day.
A favorable recommendation for
such canal and for an exhaustive
survey by competent engineers to de-
termine the best way to build one is
expected to be made by the commits
sion as the result of its investigation
of the physical condition of the canal
system and it's sounding of public
sentiment.

MPEACRMENT OF
SULZER EXPENSIVE
Threatens to Cost New York
State 100000.
Compensation for Nine Members of
the Assembly, the Steering Com
mittee," Would Add $4,000
to the Expense of Trial.

Albany, N. Y.-The Sulzer high
court of impeachment threatens
to cost the state 100000. 1t became
known here certain senators are con-
tending that the senators taking part
in the proceedings that begin on Sept.
Is to remove the governor will be en-
titled to the pay received the judges
of the court of appeals, who partici-
pated in the trial; $40 day-instcad
of $40 their pay as legislators.
Senatorial Expense Heavy.
At the lower basis the item of cx-
pense to the state for compensation
of the 49 senators would amount to
$3.50 day and at the higher rate of
$1,960 a day. The latter figure would
make the senatorial expense item
alone for 30-day session 100000.
The compensation for the nine
members of the assembly, "the steer
ing committee" at the same rate
would add $4,000 and the expense of
attendants, witnesses, stenographers
and other necessary adjuncts to the
court are likely to bring the total up
to 100000.

PLAN FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
Congress on School Hygiene Would
Convert Discarded Warships Into
Open Air Schools.

Buffalo, N. Y.--Utilization of the
instruments of human destruction
in saving the lives of tubercular
victims, is the plan of the Fourth In
ternational Congress on School Hy-
giene, which at it's closing business
meeting adopted a resolution asking
the United States government to con-
vert its discarded warships and cruis-
ers into open air schools and tubercu-
lar sanitoriums for children and
adults.
DR.. S. Adolphus Knopf, tuberculosis
expert of the Post Graduate Medical
college of New York, is the author of
the resolution which was adopted
without discussion. The resolution as
serts there are nearly 100000 tuber-
cular children in public schools of our
country while there is hardly proper
accommodation for 1900. Open air
schools are favored as a means of
preventing and curing tuberculosis.

Elgin, Scotland.-Prime Minister
Asquith was the object of an

While he was going with his daugh-

Wart suffragets, who had quietly come
up to the green, sprang at him sud

grabbed him by his clothing and
dragged him some distance over the

The prime minister bore his rough
treatment complacently and refrained
from using force to make them de-
sist while thay impaired to him their
opinion that he was scoundrel and
postmaster in the arts of Ananias.
Miss Asquith, who was little dis
tance off when the suffragets pounced
on her father, ran to his assistance
and proceeded to apply militant meth

The battle waged only a few mo-
ments. Two detectives rushed up and
with difficulty released Asquith from
the clutches of the suffragets. The
detectives took the women to the
club lodge, where, after listening to
opinions of themselves, hardly less
complimentary than those they had
expressed to the premier, they were
placed in a motor car and driven to

DE PALMA VICTOR
IN BIG AUTO RACE
fearIessly Drives Machine
and Wins Cobe Trophy.
ESTABLISHES TRACK RECORD
Daring Racer Covers 301 Miles in Four
Hours and 81 Minutes, Which
Is an Average Of 66.8
Miles an Hour.
BY w. e. Hall.


Elgin, 1ll.-Fearless driving over
a course where last year he
won two important races, Ralph De
Palma, plotting Mercer, won the Chi
cago Automobile clubs Cobe trophy
here. He covered the 301 miles in
four hours 81 minutes and sc seconds,
which was an average of 66.S miles
an hour, establishing track record.
Dawson Comes in Second.
Joe" Dawson, in Retail, finished
seven minutes and Sc seconds behind
De Palma. The Indianapolis driver
travelled faster than the winner, but
slow service on the part of his pit
man cost him the race.
The Italian driver took the lead in
the thirteenth lap when Wishart, also
driving a Mercer, was forced to slow
down as result of spectacular tire
explosion directly in front of the
grand stand. Dawson also at that
time climbed into second place, while
Wishart was forced to follow Dawson
by seven seconds.
Wishart was a victim of misfortune.
He was the first driver to experience
any trouble, his Mercer throwing a
tire near McQueen's farm early in
the race and he was forced to make
a change. Repeatedly previous to the
thirteenth lap, Wishart took the lead,
only to be forced to slow up owing to
tire trouble. He was finally forced
out of the race at the end of the
twenty-fourth lap with a broken
spring.
Spectators Swarm Track.
When De Palma finished first, a
throng of spectators brushed aside the
militiamen on guard at the track and
surged out upon the course. Efforts
to force the crowd back failed. Ref
cree Beecroft then decided to award
the remaining places according to the
standing of the drivers, awarding Will
liam Chandler, who drove a Mason,
third money and Rickenbacher, also
driving a Mason, fourth. Harry Endi-
colt had been moving along in third
position for two hours but his car and
driver finally gave way under the
strain and was forced to retire short
ly before the race ended
The race started at II a. m. Eight
drivers were at the tape when the
signal was given for. the grind to be-
gin. AS De Palma flashed around the
first turn, he swept by a balky ex-
tending gate within an inch and
thrilled the crowd with the first mar
row escape of the meet. Later he
had another close call when his ma
chine shot off the course into a corn
field, but was righted and regained the
track.
The poor condition of the road and
the necessity for the racers to slow
down at all corners handicapped the
drivers nightly.

Uncle Sam Will Make Test
Experiment Soon.
START SYSTEM THIS MONTH
Information Obtained by Government
to be Wired to Central Point In
State and From There Mailed
to All Newspapers.

Washington, d. C.-In order to give
detailed crop conditions in his own
state, as reported by the government,
the department Of agriculture about
the middle of September will make a
test experiment with new system of
circulating crop information by tele-
graph. The detailed statement giving
information by states has hitherto
been furnished to the farmers Of the
several localities in printed form and
only by mail AS result, it took from
seven to ten days for this information
to reach the farmers in distant states
through the postofTices.
Try Test In Six States.
The department will try this test
first in six states: Illinois, Missouri,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Texas.
The government crop news for each of
these states will be telegraphed to a
central point in that state. There the
information will be quickly repro
duced and mailed to all the newspa-
pers in the state. In this way every
paper, not merely the large dailies, but
the county seat and small town papers,
even in the most distant states, should
be in possession of this information
within from IL to Is hours after it is
issued. AS far as possible the infor-
nation will be sent out SO as to reach
the small weeklies in time for use in
their Thursday and Friday editions.
Valuable Information.
This new service has been effected
through a cooperative arrangement
between the bureau of statistics and
the weather bureau officials. In each
state the weather bureau has a man
provided with modern facilities which
will enable him to print and mail the
telegraphed facts to every newspaper
within a few hours. The printed mat
ter thus circulated will give these
newspapers: (a) a full list of the
crops; (b) the average condition of
each crop for ten-year periods in that
particular state; (c) the condition of
the state crops for September 8. In
the adjoining column will be given the
same data for the United States, so
that the farmers who read these
notices can compare the crops in
their states as of September with
the ten-year averages of their own
state, and in the same way with the
average condition throughout the
United States on September 8 and for
ten years.
Cost viii be Nominal.
These data are to be supplied for
the reason that the condition of crops
actually within a state has more ef-
feet on prices within that state than
the conditions for the country at
large.
The cost of this service, it is found,
will be only nominal. All that will be
necessary will be to telegraph the fig
ures for two columns, and this can be
done at cost of not more than rs
cents for each state.
If the contemplated experiment is a
success and the newspapers cooperate
by publishing this special service in
formation, the plan will be extended
eventually to serve the farmers of all
the states.
