We unreacrvedly and enlhualaatlcally en

Ms guidance the Panama canal has been
begun and la rapidly being driven to com

has paused many laws which secure greater

tlal enforcement of law, rcgardlesa of the

secured not only greater observance of and

nation. .
Tli republicans of Indiana, voicing the
opinion of the. great majority of the people,
and ail parties congratulate President

The republican party notes with pleasure
tli growing determination to eradicate po
litical corruption from whatever source the
same originates; and to tli end that the
party may respond to that sentiment we
oppose tne contribution t political parties
for campaign purposes by corporations of
the state or nation, or by officers or per
cons In the behaJf of such corporations,
and we hereby commend the Indiana re
publican state central committee for Its
iafiisa! to accept contributions from cor
porations within or wlthoat the state.
W favor such modifications of our finan
cial system aa will supply the growing
rieeda of Industry and commerce with a
sufficient currencay to minimise periodic
money trlngenclee: but such currency
must alwaya be so safeguarded that there
shall be no doubt of its prompt redemption
In gold, and congratulate the country
on the fart that the congress of the United
attalea is now engaged In the solution of
this great problem. We also favor such
regulations respecting banking as will se
i cure and maintain confidence In the Inleg-
rhy of our banking institulons.
We approve th laws enacted for the
proper regulation of the railroad corpora

' w pledge the parry to all additional safe-
guards neressary to complete regulation of
I these combinations In the Interest of trade

The last convention of the republican
rent- In th stale of Indiana declared in
uvur of rvvisiua of the tariff whenever
auclt revision would do more good than
harm. Projection waa never a matter of
schedule, and while re-af firming the time
honored doctrine that there shall always
be discrimination in duties that will fully
1rolvct the wage earner in the United
itatcs, ha never desired a higher
rate than would accomplish that purpose
and alwava contemplated revision from
tun to time aa the eNfer-rhanging condi
tions might make wise. We believe that
revision would b now beneficial and to
minimise the harmful disturbance that
tariff changes necessarily produce w In
sist that revision be sueedily done. We
also favor the calling of an estra session
early In November. ISsti. to make sucn re
vision, and recommend that congress take
Immediate aleps to secure the proper data
' by experts for Intelligent revision as advo
cated by our aenatoia and representatives
from this stale; but w also Insist that In
em-h revision the protective principles shall
be maintained and that maximum and
Uiliiliin.iu rates be Imposed so that our ex
port Hade can amply be protected and for
eign dtecriiniftfeltons against us be pre
vented. We favor th extension of the United

With the scalding steam pouring upon

handing It to Rev. Mr. Allen, who waa
trying to extricate the man from th
wreckage, commanded the minister to cut
off the crushed leg and save him from
being scalded.
Mrs. Emma Renner'a trained nurse from
Cincinnati, a passenger, pressed a bottle of
whisky to McKlttrlck's lipa and told him
to drink.

PARIS,' April 2, Although Mm. Gould,
before her departure from Paris for th
t'oHed States, repeatedly denied to intimate
friend that; she had any thought of marry
ing Prince Helle De Bagan, the prince waa
a welcome guest at her city and country
residence for months,' and they often dined
and went to the theater together. Mme.
Gould has alwaya been regarded aa head
strong by her friends, and consequently
tlicy would not be astonished If she per
sisted in marrying the. prince despite the
disastrous results of her marriage to
Count Bonl De Costellane, and the present
opposition of her family.
Count Bonl, who Is a cousin of the prince,
is represented as being furious at the con
firmation of his suspicions and the Paris
newspapers naturally are having consider
able fun over the idea of Mme. Gould's re
entry into the French aristocracy aa th
Princess De Sagan "with a reduced fortune
of only StlO.OOO a year."
The Gil Bias is especially hilarious over
the prince's allegod reply to an Insinuation
that he was a fortune hunter. In which he
said: "At my age a man only marries for
love."

NEW YORK WANTS COMMISSION
Bill latrodnced by Loverlngt Only
One) that Chamber of t ena
serre Wants.
NEW YORK. April 2. None of the cur
rency legislation before congress, with the
exception of the Loverlng bill, which pro
vides for the appointment of a commis
sion to Investigate the currency and bank
ing systems of the United States, will
have the approval of the New Tork Cham
ber of Commerce. Formal decision to this
effect waa made today when the chamber
adopted the report of Its special commit
tee appointed at the, March meeting of
the body to investigate and report upon the
pending legislation. It la the belief of the
committee, as expressed In Its report, that
there la little chanc of any currency
legislation being enacted at the present
session of the congress. After describing
the Aldrlch bill as a measure which would
"provide a highly taxed emergency cur
rency," and tho Fowler bill as one which
would "operate to bring about Immediate
Instead of gradual substitution of credit
notes," the committee saya they are no
antagonist la to each other that compre
hensive currency legislation at an earlier
date does not seem probable. "These cir
cumstance point unmistakably to the Im
perative need of further deliberation." saya
the report,' "to the discussion of principles
and methods by mean of which such
principles may be applied to meet the
country' needa."
The committee report,1 which was adopted
by the Chamber of Conimerce. recommends
the enactment' of a law providing for the
appointment of a commission to Investigate
the currency and banking systems of the
United Statea and of kther leading com
mercial nations and to report such meas
ures "aa may be found necessary to place
our currency and banking system on a
aound basis, which la absolutely essential
for the permanent welfare and progress
of the country."
During the discussion which preceded
the adoption of the currency committee's
report, A. B. Hepburn, president of the
Chase National bank, and chairman of
the executive committee of the chamber,
made a spirited attack on the Aldrlch
bill. "It looks aa If th president and the
senate were going to force It through If
they can," he declared. "If they do pasa
It as a political measure It may prove a
boomerang. Somo of Its provisions are
socialistic and communistic, and altogether
no worse preparation haa ever been moved
in congress."
SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS
State Convention to Be Held at Hnron
Will Bring Warring; Fac
tion Together.
SIOUX FAL.LS. 8. D April 2. (Special.)
The Interest of the politicians of South
Dakota now la centered in the republican
atate convention, which will be held at
Huron on Tuesday of the coming week for
the election of eight delegates to the re
publican national convention In Chicago.
1 On the face of the returns the insurgent
republicans have from thirty to forty
majority In th convention, and If no con
teata sr Instituted. ,b pejatalwsrt f no
tion, of which United 'fctmiea' Benalor, Kil
tmdge ia the leader; they will have undis
puted control of the convention from start
to finish and will elect eight members of
the Insurgent faction to repreaent the re
publicans of South Dakota at the Chicago
convention.
Tho fight between the South Dakota
factions will in no way Jeopardies the in
terests of Secretary Taft so far as South
Dakota la concerned, for the reason that
both factions are committed to him, and
no matter which faction controla the atate
convention, the delegates to th national
convention will be Instructed to support
his candidacy for nomination to th office
of president of th United Slates.
The only possibility of serious trouble in
the state convention between the Insur
gents and stalwarts la In connection with
any attempt that might be made by the
atalwarts to contest enough delegations
from Insurgent counties to give the stal
warts control of the temporary organiza
tion. For some time rumors of contests
have been In the air, but thus far little
credence has been placed In the reports.
MORE OF FORESTRY DISPUTE
California Delegation Divided on
Question of Veracity Abont
Pinchers Action.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-An echo of the
charge by Mr. Smith of California, made
last Monday, that Oiffoid Plnchot, the
chief of the forestry bureau, had acted
Improperly wtih reference to the water
lights of Owens river, (California), was
heard in the house todsy, when Mr. Mc
Lochlan of California rose to refute the
statements.
The forestry bureau, he declared, had
been placed lu a false light. He declared
that every member of the California dele
gation, except Messrs Needliam, Smith and
Kahn, had written the president asking
that the reservation be made and that Mr.
Pinchot was acting In accordance with the
request and the demand of the people of
Ixis Angeles and the request and the de
mand of the majority of the California
delegation. Mr. McLachlan explained that
when the matter was presented to tin
president. Mr. Kahn was abroad, and that
was why his name did not appear In con
nection with it.
Mr. Smith denied thai Mr. McLachlan's
statement waa in accordance with the fact.
Tho paper sent to the president, lie de
clared, contained no reference to any par
ticular tract and the signers were not led
to believe that It had reference to the
Owens river valley.

POLLARD OPPOSES MACADAM
Saya It I Too Rxpenalve for Farming
Communities and House I ,
with lllna.
(From Btaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. April J.-(Speflal Tele
gramsRepresentative Pellard during the
closing hours of the debate on the agricul
tural bill spoke against the use of money
by the bureau of good roads for the con
struction of macadam roads In the agri
cultural sections of tho country. The prop
osition of the committee Is to enable the
farmers of the country to get some benefit
from the bureau of good roads.
Mr. Pollard, attacking an amendment of
fered to the bill, said:
"The purchase and use of machinery In
the construction of country roads has been
used wholly for the construction of mac
adem roads. I want to' say that I repre
sent one of the richest agricultural districts
in the United States, and I think I know
whereof I speak. 1 do not believe there Is
a single farming community in any district
In the United States that can afford to
build macadam roads. It costs all the way
from S3.O0O to $7,000 a mile to build these
macadam roads. The committee on agri
culture desire to prevent the use of money
in the construction of these macadam roads,
so that the bureau of good roads can exert
Its energies to enable the farmers of the
country to take advantage of other Infor
mation they are disseminating for the con
struction of roads that are within the reach
of every farming community, no matter
whether It In the richest or poorest agri
cultural district. Only those communities
that are contiguous to a city can afford
macadam roads, when they cost such a
great amount of money.
"The department has discovered that
asnd clay roads or burnt clay roads can
be constructed and that they are applicable
to all great agricultural regions and only
cost from 31 00 to $500 a mile, which is easily
within the reach of every community. Now
what the committee on agriculture want
is thatt his money shall be Introduce road
construction that Is within the reach of
farmers and not permit the bureau to ex
pend money in building macadam roads
for the benefit of cities and towns."
Representative Pollard's paragraph re
lating to the construction of roads of clay
or burnt clay In rural communities pre
vailed and Is In the agricultural bill as
passed today.
Representative Pollard leaves tomorrow
night for home upon private business.

Nebroskau.
ST. lvOUlS, No., April 1-Th Nebraska
delegation, which la here trying to secure
a postponement of the populist national
convention. In the Interests of W. J. Bryan,
made no progress today after two sessions
were held, at the conclusion of which a
permanent organisation had not b effected.
The fight la still on undiminished and the
friends of Bryan will continue their efforts
when the convention reassembles.
The first contest came at the afternoon
session when A M. Walling of David City,
Neb., .vigorously protested the manner lit
which members of the committee on creden
tials were chosen. - He said no man had
any right to serve on that committeo or
hold a seat In the convention unless he
could show proper credentials. Mr. Wall
ing averred that there were many delegates
who were self-appointed and had no creden
tials from any state or organisation. His
protests were fruitless and he was voted
down.
But the Nebraska dolegates are deter
mined and they say they will bolt If th
convention attempts to place a Uck,ct in thi
field. They claim they have been assured
of support from, other states and when the
time comes the delegates rom these states
will leave the convention with them. Mr.
Walling aaid tonight:
"Nebraska Is In earnest about this matter
and we shall bolt It the convention attempts
to nomlnato Watson or anyone else. We
are not alone, for wa have assurancea that
Minnesota, Georgia and possibly Michigan
and KiMisas, will walk out when we do."
Address of Chairman Ferrla-
The convention camo to order shortly
before 11 o'clock, about SuO delegatea being
present. After an Invocation by Rev.
Thomas Wadsworth of Indiana, the formal
proceedings were begun by James II. Fer
ris of Jollet, chairman of the national com
mittee. General Ferris made an address of some
length which he prefaced with th declara
tion: The people's party la the only parly with
a membership thoroughly milled, kand en
tirely harmonious upon the great issues
under discussion. It Is the only party in
which Ihe most Violent opponents of Its
platform and its great leaders are nol In
eld tha party Itself.
The speaker then dwelt upon tho history
of the people's part)-, declaring that the
measures It had long ago advocated have
been now adopted by the leading parties of
tha country.
The speaker declared that banks receive
loans from the government at nominal
rates' of interest, but that the men who do
this most to develop, the nation, cannot hire
a dollar from the treasury. He favored
government ownership of public utilities,
the loaning of money upon proper security
to manufacturers, farmers and miners. He
add-d:
It haa become a policy of the beat presi
dents of the nation to , loan government
funds without interest,' and to turn out
government bonds to slock Jobbing pets
whenever Wall slreet Is dull, but the
farmer, the manufacturer and the miner,
with the best security, cannot obtain gov
ernment assistance at any price. The plat
form should utter violent exclamations on
thla point.
Mr. Ferrla declared himself aa being per'
sonally In favor Of "the moat complete,
strongest, most wide spread, dea open and
ahut plank against the manufacture, trans
portation and sale of alcohol or any , other
poison for eating or drinking purposes."
He closed with th prediction of th r!s
of a great party from the convention of
today.

Jacob 8. Coxey of Ohio w as named aa
temporary chairman of the convention.
After taking th chair, he mad an ad
dress, covering the leading economical
questions of the day, paying particular at
tention to the national currency.
Chairman Coxey devoted much time ta
th advocacy of the Issue of Interest-bearing
bonds aa a mean of acquiring public
Utilities.
Immediately at the conclusion of th
chairman'a address a debate arose on th
manner of appointing member of the va
rious committees. It Was finally decided
that each state sliould select on member
f each committee and that the chairman
ahould have the right te appoint four dele-gates-at-large
on each committee, except
the committee on credentials.
The convention adjourned until t O'clock.
Walllagr Renews Fight.
The sole' business of th afternoon ses
sion consisted of the adoption of th re
port of the committee on credentials. It
waa understood that the commute waa
to hold Its meeting during the noon re
cess, but It failed to do so. A coon aa
Chairman Coxey bad called th Conven
tion to order,' following th recess, he di
rected the secretary to read a list of names
of th members of the credential com
mittee. Before this could be done, A. M.
Walling 'of Nebraska demanded to know
where the secretary obtained the Hat. He
waa Informed that each state had fur
nished the name of Its committeeman.
Walling then asked Chairman Cokey If
the names presented were those of dele
gales sent by properly 'held slat conven
tions. He Insisted that If they had not
presented proper credentials to th con
vention, they were not qualifUd to alt In
the convention and consequently Incom
petent to act aa members of the national
committee on credentiala.
When he had finished speak tho con-
, it a doien
dcegul clamoring for rv0gnltlon and
aa many more raising tlo voices and
"points of order." Chairman Coxey was
about to rule on a "po' when Walling
broke in:
"There can be no point of order." he
shouted, "becauso I have made no motion.
I have asV.ed if all those members of that
committee on credentials are properly ac
credited, and 1 want to know If you are
going lo answer my question?"
"If you don t talk ail day yourself. I U
