of criticism in the state.
He declares the commission has

that the commission ever held fac

Teasdale takes bitter exception to
the trend Of opinion which would

have broad fat tails and high fat,

A PERIOD OF TRANSITION
Should Not Lightly Let Go
of Principles of the
Centuries

Albany, Jan. 2S.-Former President

upon the members of the Yale Alumni
association at a banquet that the
younger generation should be careful
ly trained in political first principles
to meet the highly important matters
developing in the present and coming
period Of transition OF American af-
fairs.
II don't like to be regarded as an old
fogy,' said Taft, "and l don't think l
am. We are in transition period
which in many respects presents a
crisis in our national career. We are
In the aftermath Of q struggle in
which we have escaped plutocracy.
But We also have made great trans
ition and the people are aroused.
Such transition, however, always give
rise to an excess of cranks and crank

which are dangerous.

PERITY SAYS REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

b. Washington, Jan. 2S.-A remarkable
change - In the money situation
throughout the country has been not
ed by the United States treasury and
by other government authorities since
the passage of the currency bill.
Money is much easier.
This information is coming to the
government from all lines Of business
and from every stats in the union.
Carter Glass Of Virginia, chairman of
the house committee On banking and
currency, which prepared the cur
rency legislation, gave it enthusiastic
confirmation as he came from the
treasury yesterday.
+ Money Declared Easier.
IT have in mind an example from
the state Of Michigan" said Mr..
Glass. Il have just had talk with
one Of the largest paper manufactur-
ers of that state, who came here to
bid on the government paper con-
tracts.
This man told me what many
others have told me, that, during the
time the currency bill was in prepara-
ton, money in New York and through
New York influence throughout the
country was held very tight. Com
mercial paper of the best quality
could not get better offer than 6 per
cent. Perhaps this was done to have
an effect against the bill. I do not
know.
But the Michigan paper manufac-
turer told me that today he was offer
ed 100000 or any part of it. on COM
mercial paper as security, at Az per
cent. The same man told me he was
finding money easy in all directions
and that is the word that is coming
in from everywhere.

Charles K Hamilton, whose
feats in the air have startled hum
dreds Of thousands in many parts
of the United States, and who had
been very seriously injured several
times in wrecks Of his aeroplane
Or when he had to jump from 1T,
was found dead in his bed at MS
home in New York the other day.
Hamilton had experienced slight
lung and heart trouble while max
ing flights on several occasions,
and once said that volplaning, or
swooping down from a height, was
dangerous to the heart. He often
felt severely, he said, the strain
Of his calling.
In Florida a year ago he leaped
from his aeroplane at a height of
forty feet, just as the machine
turned a double somersault. He
was badly hurt.
Hamilton has his first taste Of
flying when, attached to the tail
Of a. kite, he was drawn by boat
over the Hudson river. This was
on the occasion of the visit Of
Prince Henry Of Prussia in 1902.
Four years later he made ascen-
sions in a dirigible balloon at Coney
Island, and in 1909 took his first
flight in an aeroplane.
