'The process of manufacturing any- thing is interesting, but some articles derive a special interest from the peculiar method followed in their pro- duction, as, for instance, the wavy, \marbled paper\ BO largely used in book binding. To marble paper a shallow bath 01 gum tragacanth, or goat's horn, is prepared, and upon this the workman sprinkles from a flat brush the colors required for the desired• pattern. When the whole surface is covered with splotches of color, the workman takes a huge comb which he draws with a wavy motion the length of telt tub. An expert marbler can so ar- range his colors as to copy any pat- tern. Next the man takes a sheet of paper and lays it deftly upon the sur- face of the bath, allowing it to re- main for a moment. When the sheet Is lifted the entire film of cola!' beteg with it, and it is necessary to ro- sprinkle and recornh,the bath for the next sheet. In marbling the edges of the leaves . at a book,Alsakedo 4 01 the-lacialL with- , Citit'thaY\tieferarS~iteeld that the edges may be quickly dipped into the bath. In this case, of course, one pre- pared bath will serve for a number of volumes, as each volume removes but a small area of the colors. Woes of a Hoosier Governor. Letters of all sorts arrive daily in the mails at the governor's office, some of them depressing, some of them mirth -provoking, and some of which for pure nerve quite take away the breath of the chief executive, whose experiences before becoming governor, he is wont to explain fre- quently, were confined largely to the business of a country law office. One of the \nervy\ ones came this week from Monongahela, Pa. \Dear Sir,\ it ran, \I am a Democrat and have seen hard service both in the party and in the war. Just now I am in pretty hard lines and need some money., Please send me $100. You can either let me have it as a gift or I will pay it back when I get able.\ \That fellow may be hard up,\ said the governor, \but he doesn't know what real financial hardship is. He ought to try to be governor of In- diana In these strenuous high -price times on the salary the state pays.\ The $100 was not senCLAndlanap- oils News. Wedding by Proxy. Fraulein Anna throb of Linz, Aus- tria. had a legacy left to her by an uncle on condition that she should be married before her twenty-first birth- day. Her fiance, Carl Burgruber, a wine dealer, was away in Smyrna when he heard the news, but as his business prevented him from return- ing to Europe before March, and as the girl was to attain her majority at the end of January, the lovers, de- cided that there should be a marriage by proxy. Accordingly Fraulein Hirsch was married in this manner one Sun- day, the bridegroom being represented by a friend appointed by her fiance. She was thus legally entitled to en. ter possession of her fortune; but she was not . to remain a bride for long. A few days later while she was en- gaged in preparing her new home she received a telegram announcing the sudden death of her husband. Prominent Moorish Statesmen. &snafus, the representative of Mulai _Haft& the sultan of Morocco, in the Mannesmann affair in Berlin. is de- scribed as a handsome, dark skinned, black bearded, bright eyed man of middle age. His snow white flowing robes maye him a conspicuous figure wherever he goes. Having been asked by people with whom he became ac- quainted for a portrait, he posed for one, assuming a unique attitude for the purpose. The picture shows him reclining on a divan, with his right hand holding his left naked foot, which rests on the right knee. The picture is in strange contrast with those of his associates in the commercial af- fairs which brought him to Germany.

Ira N. Morris sent a lawyer.to .lbt-' sey City this week from Chicago to inform Prosecutor Gtrven that be had retired from the directorate of Morris th Co.. but nevertheless he was indict- ed. Cooper is the New Jefsey man- ager for Swift & Co.; Bathgate. Ed- ward Hartwell, Darlington and Fuller are officers and eastern agents of the National Packing Company, while the others named are either directors or officers of the National Packing com- pany. Others Not Named. The indictment which bristles In its arraignment of the men named, also refers to \divers others\ as being re- sponsible. These latter, however, are not specified. The foregoing list of names represents the very backbone of the great packing industry of this country containing as it does two Ar- mours, three Swifts and two Morrises, most of them resideitts of Chicago, together with less inoiortant figures in the packing world. Their Indict- ment brings to a climax the first con- certed, effort in the east to fix respon- sibility for the prevailing abnormally high prices of commodities. Jersey City, as a cold storage center where the packing companies of the West maintain vast warehouses in which countless thousands of pounds of meat and poultry are stored, proved a fruitful source of investigation. More than a month ago the inquiry by the grand jury was started, cold storage plants were inspected, wit- nesses were examined and the indict- ment was handed up in the supreme court before Justices Blair and Carey. Of this alleged manipulation, the in- dictment after voluminous and re- peated reference to the defendants' charges that they did meet and con- spire, \within the jurisdiction of this court . . wilfully, unlawfully and feloniously devising, contriving and in- tending, for their own unjust, exces- sive, immoral and unlawful profit and gain, to injure, defraud, prejudice, damage, cheat, impoverish and oppress the public and the people by corner - and limiting the necessary and reason- able supply of meats and poultry for consumption by the public and the peo- ple of said city and said county, so as to produce an artificial scarcity in the supply of said meats and poultry and to greatly, excessively and ex- torionately enhance and increase the cost and price thereof.\ According to the indictment an il- legal agreement thus to control prices was entered into by the defendants as far back as March 1, 1906, when a meeting was held in Jersey City at which the defendants \wilfully unlaw- fully, fradulengy and extortionately\ bound themseilles to \maintain and exercise control over a monopoly of the meat and poultry supply, and to arbitrarily and unlawfully increase the price of meat and poultry, and not to Sell to the public meats and poultry Young Love. \You're buying cheroots since you're married.

By this means, it is charged that the defend- ants were successful in keeping off the markets large quantities of meat and poultry which, if put upon the mar- kets, would have been sufficient to meet the reasonable demand. Interesting and significant relations between the Armour. Swift and Moo les interests, through the medium of the National Packing Company are set forth in the document. In order to carry out the conspiracy, it is charged certain adjustments in the directorate of the National Packing company were necessary. To this end, the indictment says, a meeting was held in Jersey City De- cember 14, 1908, at which various di- rectors of Armcibr and company. Swift and company, and Morris and com- pany were elected directors of the Na- tional Packing company, coastituting a majority and controlling the board. The Armour intereets were repre- sented by J. Ogden Armour, Connors and Meeker., the Morris interests by Edward Morris and Wilson and Ken- eth K. McLaren, a pesident director s-wAfi.,OPS,44lcla(1,1.. and the Swift • interests by Edward F. and Louis F. Swift, and L. A. Carton. The make-up of the eirectorate of the National Packing company indi- cates how wholly representative it is of the great packing interests of the country, while in turn the company ()VMS the capital stock of the follow- ing: Fowler Packing company, the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision com- pany, the Fowler Canadian company, Ltd.; Fowler Brothers, Ltd., of Liver- pool; the Omaha Packing company, the Hammond Packing company, the G. H. Hammond Packing company, the Anglo-American Provision com- pany, and the United States Beef com- pany. The National Packing company was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey In 1903 and has a capital stock of $15,000,000. AMERICA'S TOPACCO TRADE. Uncle Sam Leads the World as an Exporter of the Weed. 'Washington, Feb. 25.—More than one billion dollar's worth of tobacco and manufactures of tobacco have passed through ports of the United States since 1890, the value of the ex- port from the country during that period having aggregated $646,000,000 and the imports into the country $386,- 000;000. These figures are inclusive of trade passing between the United States and its non-contiguous terri- tories, which showed in 1909 alone cigars and other tobacco brought in from Porto Rico valued at $5,750,000 and shipments of tobacco to Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico valued at near- ly $2,000,000. The United States leads the world as an exporter of tobacco, having sup- plied over $41,000,000 worth in a total of approximatrly $150,000,000 worth of tobacco and manufactures which entered international markets last year. In the exportation of manufactured tobacco Cuba is at the head of the list with a total of $13,000,000, com- pared with $6,000,000 for the United Kingdom, $4,750,000 for the United States, $2,500,000 for Netherlands, $2,333,000 for Egypt, $1,500,000 each for Germany and Brazil, $1,250,000 for France, $1,000,000 each for Japan and Austria-Hungary, $750,000 for Algeria, and $500,000 each for Italy, Belgium and India. Of the tobacco exported from the United States about 11 per cent. Is in the manufactured form; and from Cuba, about ,45 per cent. Germany and the United States are the world's leading markets for to- bacco, Germany being credited with $35,000,000. and the United States with $30,000,000 worth of imports of that article. The tobacco crop of the United States In 1908 was 718,000,000 pounds valued at $74,000,000; the value of do - mastic manufactures, according to the census of 1906, $331,000,000; the rev- enue derived from domestic tobacco in 1908, $50,000,000; and the total du- ties collected on imported tobacco in the fiscal year 1909, $23,250,000 MRS. VAUGHN IS ACCUSED. Warrant is Issued and She is Charged With Killing Husband. Kirksville, Mo., Feb. 26.—Prosecut- ing Attorney Reefer announced that Mrs Alma Vaughn, wife of Prof. J. T. Vaughn. will be arrested on a war- rant charging her with murdering her husband, who died last October from strychnine. The warrant for her ar- rest was issued following the dismis- sal of the grand jury that has been investigating Vaughn's death. THE SIAMESE TWINS TO DATE. FAVORABLE TO RAILROAD BILL SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO RECOMMEND ITS PASSAGE. HOUSE MEMBERS ',PROMISE HELP Nye and Stevens to Appear Betoes Rivers and Harbors Committee to Urge Improvement of Upper Mississippi. Washington, Feb. 26.—President Taft's railroad bill, the administration bill to create a court of commerce and amend the interstate commerce laws, was ordered favorably reported by the senate committee on interstate commerce which will recommend its passage in practically the form it was recently revised by Attorney General Wickersham. . The attitude of the house commit- tee in regard to the bill, on the other hand, Is giving the president concern, and he sent for some of the Republi- can members of the committee and urged them strongly to do everything possible to expedite the passage of the measure eyes if it should be nec- essary to amend it so long as the general purpose of the act was carried out. The members at the White House conference were Stevens of Minneso- ta; Nolan of California; Kennedy of Ohio; Miller of Kansas, and Wenger of Penn. These representatives promised to do what they could to carry out the president's wishes, but they were in- clined to place responsibility for the delay of the bill in the committee in some measure upon the attorney gen- eral who had frequently recalled it from consideration in order to make many amendments. In the senate committee, among those who voted in opposition to the favorable report were Senators Cum- mins of Iowa and Clapp of Minnesota. Representative Miller of Minnesota Is confident that the house committee on Indian affairs will report favorably a special bill abolishing Indian waro- houses. • The opposition of Senator Burton of Ohio to the Mississippi, Missouri and lakes -to -gulf provisions of the river and harbor bill has induced the senate committee to hold public hearings on Monday and Tuesday, when the advo- cates of these projects will be given an opportunity to present their merits. While it is underetood that the ma- jority of the senate committee is favorable to the - Contested items, the committee is not inclined to entirly Ignore Senator Burton's contentions. His long service as chairman of the river and barbor committee gives what he has to say considerable weight with the senate. Representatives Nye and Stevens will discuss the upper Mississippi pro- ject before the committee. By that time the members from the Twin Cities hope to have received some ad: vices from home as - to what will be the probable attitude of the city au- thorities on the high dam project. Much will Upend upon what Minne- apolis and-Rt. Paul are willing to do in the formulation of the high dam pro- vision. To Inspect N. D. Farm Land, New York, Feb. 26.—Two represen- tatives of an American syndicate which proposes to buy a large tract of land for colonization purposes have reached New York from Holland They will leave early next week for North Dakota, where they are to make Inspections of farming lands which have been offered them. They will purchase the laaid and pay the travel lug expenses of the Dutch farmer •nt migrants, allotting to them farina of equal Size The colonists will be ex ipected to repay the syndicate. 1.0118WORTH FOR GOVERN° To Appeal Panama Case. Washington, Feb. 26.—Reaching the conclusion that it is desirable that the questions involved be brought before the court of last resort the cabinet reached , an agreement that an appeal should be taken by the department of justice from the decision of Judge Hough In the circuit court in New York in quashing, for want of juris- diction, the indictment against the Press Publishing company (New York World) on the charge of libel In con- nection with purchases of Panama canal property, LEADERS DECIDE HE IS BEST MAN TO OPPOSE HARMON. James R. Garfield and Warren G. Harding Would Like the Nomination. Washington, Feb. 26.—That Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, member of congress and son-in-law of former President Roosevelt, has been prac- tically decided on by the Republican leaders of Ohio as the best man to make the gubernatorial race against the Democratic governor, Judson Har- mon, is the report which comes out here from high authority. Coupled with this information is the further news that the Republicans have thoroughly canvassed the list of \eligibles\ for the Republican nomina- tion and conclude that Longworth is the most available man, as he lould command the support of the friends of Roosevelt and the anti -Roosevelt people in the state. Leaders of the party have been told by President Taft that Mr. Longworth could have all the support possible from the administration. There are two other men who would like to. have the nomination. They are James R. Garfield, former secre- tary of the interior in Roosevelt's cabinet, and Warren G. Harding, form- er lieutenant governor of the state Those who are familiar with the sit- uation put Harding as the third man in the race, as things stand now. While they admit that Garfield is gen- erally regarded as being as eligible as Longworth, they claim that matters are rapidly being so framed up as to make Longworth's selection almost a certainty. ACCIDENT AT UNIVERSITY. Minneapolis, Feb. 26.—Dr. James E. Moore. head of the surgical depart- ment of the University of Minnesota medical college, and Edward Ziegler, a student, are In the university hos- pital suffering from injuries received when a section of a brick wall crashed thru the ceiling of a recitation room the third floor of Millard hall, burying the class in wreckage. Seven other students are suffering from minor in- juries. Millard hall has been attacked by fire several times since it was built, In 1893, the last occurring Dec. 24, last year. The upper floors were de- stroyed and the roof fell in. Under the direction of the dean the building was temporarily repaired by students and workmen and classes occupied it after the Christmas vacation. The high wind blowing against a part of the fourth floor wall left stand- ing after the fire, fell on the tempo- rary roof and crashed through. Im- mediately there was a rumble and a huge mass of brick and mortar fell through the flimsy roofing. All the in- jured students lived in the Twin Cities, except David M. Berkman, of Rochester, who received scalp wounds. Two Killed by finowslide. Everett, Wash., Feb. 26.—Two men were killed by a snowslide that buried a bunk house near Cascade tunnel On the Great Northern railroad. The body of one has been recovered. It Is re- ported that for about eight miles near the -summit of the Cascade range the track is covered with a continuous slide of snow, earth and trees. NOT GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY. Spokane Jury Acquits Miss Flynn but Convicts Filigno. Spokane, Feb. 26.—The Jury in the conspiracy case against Elizabeth Gur- ley Flynn and C. L. Filigho, growing out of the recent Induetrial Workers of the World demonstration, returned a - viA-clIct late acquitting Miss Flynn and finding Filigno guilty. The penalty in the case of Filigno may be imprisonment for one year or a fine of $1,000 or.,both. STRIKE THREAT ON HILL ROAD THEIR DEMANDS REJECTED—EN- GINEER'S LEADERS ARE PROB- ING SENTIMENT. VOTE OF MEMBERS BEING TAKEN Board of Arbitration Takes Up the Switchmen's Troubles. Prof. S. B. Green Appointed to Be the First Umpire. Minneapolis, Feb. 26.—A strike vote is being taken on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers. Chairman Smith of the Northern Pacific and J. C. Coch- ran of the Great Northern firemen have been on of inspection of the systems ever since their trip from Chicago some weeks ago. The demands of the firemen were postponed last November by request of the companies until the conductors' and trainmen's matters were settled, and when the firemen's committees met the railroad managers in January they were answered with a firm and e r5 .Weetc. oettesoast schedule. The headquarters of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen and Ea- ginemen are at Peoria, Ill, W. S. Carter is general president and A. H. Hawley is general secretary and treas- urer. Canvass on Other Roads. As the strike canvass has just start- ed upon the Hill system, neither Mr. Smith nor Mr. Cochran would make a prediction as to the probable result of the vote. According to the chair- man, 95 per cent of the firemen on the two systems are organized. There are four lodges of the inter- national brotherhoods in Minneapolis, known as Northwestern, Minneapolis, Shoreham and Flour City. Arbitrators Begin Work. The state board of arbitration, con- sisting of H. N. Leighton, H. W. Goetz- Inger and Prof. Samuel B. Green of the state agricultural college, assem- bled at the capitol and began the tak- ing of testimony on the application of the leaders of the switchmen's strike for state mediation in their disagree- ment with the railroads of the North- west. Prof. Green was appointed as the third member of the board by Gover- nor Eberhart, after the other two members had notified him they could not agree on a colleague. A number of the stike leaders, In- cluding President Frank Hawley, G. B. Howley, Thomas Van Lear and C. A. Clover, presented their views on the survey of traffic conditions as made by the state railroad commission, the burden of which was that business is delayed and injured at the present time by congestion of freight at var- ious points In the state, despite the views of the commission to the con- trary. The railroads did not send any representatives to the hearing and so far as could be learned they do not Intend to. Alderman A. M. Goodrich of Minneapolis also appeared. The board of arbitration has power to subpena witnesses, only where such witnesses may have special knowledge of pay -rolls or of the books relating to sums paid out for labor. This pow- er, however, accrues only where there Is a wage dispute, and it was stated at the capitol today that the strike sit- uation had passed beyond the scope of a wage dispute. PINCHOT READY TO TESTIFY, Ex -Chief Forester Awaits Cue to Take Stand in the Ballinger Case. Washington, Feb. 26. —When the congressional probing committee met In open session, Attorney Brandeis, for the presecution, requested permis- sion to introduce in evidence the state- ments recently .made before the sen- ate committee on territories by Steph- en Birch. managing director, and J. N. Steele, attorney for the Alaske syndicate, or Morgan -Guggenheim syn- dicate. for the exploitation of Alaska. These statements told in part of the Guggenheim -Cunningham coal claims, which have been the source of all the trouble incident tc the present ln- <miry. Chairman Nelson said the statements of Messrs. Birch and Steele had not been made under oath. The committee agreed that the men should be summoned as witnesses. The attor- neys for both sides united in the ro- quest. Special Agent Horace T. Jones, who worked with Glavis on the Alaskan cases, having arrived in the city since the last adjournment of the commit- tee, was called to the stand, while Pinchot waited. Roosevelt to Visit Texas. Washington, Feb. 26.—Former Presi- dent Roosevelt intend, to write a his- tory of Texas. lie wit visit the Lone Star state for historical matters after he has recovered from the fatigue of his African trip. \Colonel Roosevelt always had a deep interest in Texas.\ said Colonel Cecil Lyon, Republican national committeeman from that state, \and long ago expressed a de- sire to write a history of our common- wealth.

The Judge and the Doctor Man of Medicine, After Jurist's Ex- planation, Concluded to Let His Grievance Pass. The physician was a witness In a damage case, and his answers to ques- tions had been marked by more length than lucidity. The lawyer who was examining him several times cau- tioned him to confine his replies to subjects involved In the questions, but this warning had little effect. Finally the.judge lost patience and told him to make an effort to shorten his an- swers and tp quit talking when he got through. This bad some effect temporarily, but a few minutes later the physician began a long and rambling answer which had only a vague and remote bearing upon what had been asked him. \Look here,\ said the now irate judge, \you are wasting the fime of the court, the attorneys, the witnesses and everybody else here, and delaying the trial of the case. Now, if you don't confine yourself to plain answers here- after I shall send you to jail for con- tempt of court!\ That had its effect, and the testi- mony of the witness was concluded In a reasonable time after that. The next day the judge and the physician met upon the street. They are acquaintances, and stopped and shook hands. \Say Judge,\ inquired the doctor, \would it be contempt of court, now that you are no longer on the bench, to say that you acted like a damned fool at the trial yesterday, and would you send me to jail?\ \Oh no,\ replied his honor, easily. \I'd go to jail; you'd go to the hospi (al.' The physician didn't say what he had intended to say. Wood Chopping as a Sport.
