NEWS FROM THE
NATIONS
CAPTAL
SENATE VOTKS TO RAISE THE
TARIFF OX HOPS.
OYSTERS ALSO PROTECTED
Duty on Hurley and Potatoes In
creased Advance in Lemon
Tariff Condemned.
Washington Despite protests by
Beverldge and Root, the duty on
barley was Increased from 25 cents a
bushel, as proposed by the house,
to 80 ceuts, as recommended by the
committee on finance.
The tax on hops was advanced.
The house made a duty of 12 cents,
while the committee on finance had
formerly advanced It to 15 cents.
The committee brought In an ad
ditional amendment, making the
rate 20 cents. This action by the
senate Is largely due to the efforts
' of Herman Klaber, of Portland, Or.,
and B. C. Horst, of San Francisco,
who appeared before the senate com
mittee last November on behalf of
the hopgrowers of the United States.
The duty on potatoes was made
45 cents per bushel, Instead of 25
cents, and oysters In the shell were
advanced from 3-4 of a cent a pound
to 25 per cent. The Increase In the
. rate on oysters was made on motion
of Senator Piles, of Washington,
who has an Industry In bivalves to
protect against Canadian competi
tion. Eels or smelt, fresh or frozen,
are taxed 1 cent per pound.
That there should be a duty of
20 per cent on raw cotton merely
for revenue was advocated by Bacon.
Root spoke for the New York
lemon consumers, Insisting that the
rate of 11 cents per pound, as fixed
by the finance committee, was too
high. Flint, speaking for the lemon
growers, supported the advance and
said the lemon Industry of California
would be wiped out If this duty
were not levied.
Memorial day was observed Mon
day throughout the northern states
and three days later a similar holi
day was kept by the south In com
memoration of the birthday of Jef
ferson Davis. Both days were mark
ed as UBual by the dedication of
numerous war and other memorials.
Probably the most notable of these
vents was the dedication of a mon
ument on the Gettysburg battlefield
In memory of the "regulars" who
fought and fell there. President
Taft delivered the oration and the
memorial was unveiled by Miss
Helen Taft. Another Interesting
event of similar character was the
unveiling of the Lincoln monument
at Hodgenvllle, Ky.
It 1b reported that President Taft
Intends calling for the resignation
of Judge Silas H. Reld, at Valdez
Alaska, because of charges that
have been preferred agulust him
Delegate Wlckersham Is known to be
active In urging Judge Reld's reniov
al, particularly because Reld ap
pointed his brother receiver of the
Alaska Central railroad at a salary
of 750 a month. This, It Is
charged, was pure extortion.
President Taft has been Informed
that the English grand lodge of Mu
Bona has granted a dispensation for
the organization of a blue lodge of
Masons at London, Eng., to be com
posed entirely of Americans. This
dispensation was granted by the
Duke of Connaught, grnnd master
of the grand lodge of England. Taft
will be made the first honorary
member of the lodge.

Indianapolis to Have the Most
Remarkable In the World.
COURSE FIVE MILES LONG.
8peotator Will Have a Claar Viw at
Any Tim of the Cart Racing at
Their Highest 8peed Whole Track
to Be Brilliantly Lighted.
Indianapolis Is soon to have the
largest and most remarkable moto,
racing track lu the world. Instead or
belug circular or elliptical. It will
double on Itself, and as a result the
racers will be In full view of the grand
stand almost constantly.
Engineers are now at work staking
off the course and arranging for the
clearing of the ground. Active work
of building the speedway will be be
gun as soon as the weather will per
mit, and not later than Fell. 15. The
track and the entire grounds are un
der contract to be completed by May
15, so that the first public event may
take place early in June.
The speedway will be built on a
tract of land known as the John Press
ley farm, Just northwest of Haiif,'h
vllle and adjoining the county asylum
grounds. The tract Is a mile long and
half a mile wide.
The entire cost of the speedway,
with the grand stands and other build
ings, will be nearly half a million dol
lars. The speedway will consist of an
outside track two miles In circumfer
ence, fifty and sixty feet In width,
with suitably banked turns that will
allow a speed of more than 100 miles
an hour. From this outside track runs
an inside suakellke track three miles
long, which will enable the promoters
to give every style of combination
track and road racing In clear view of
the grnnd stands.
The general detail of the equipment
will be far more complete than ever
before attempted on speedways. The
easy access to the city will enable the
promoters to accommodate great
crowds of people.
The main grand stand will have a
seating capacity of 8.1,000, and besides
there will be twenty additional grand
stands, each with a seating capacity of
fifty, plnced at different points about
the speedway. The small grand stands
will make It convenient for clubs to
attend the meets In a body and have
their own seating reservations.
All the grand stands will be at an
elevation that will enable those Inside
to see all parts of the five mile course
at any time. The trnek will have the
unique distinction of being the only
speedway or racing course In the
world where the spectators can see
the cars at their highest speed at any
time during their flights about the
track. Arrangements will be made to
park 1,500 private automobiles.
The promoters say that the general!
plan of the track will Insure the safest
high speed racing. The plat of ground
Is level, and there will be no fences or
buildings to. obstruct the view of the
spectators. The parking spaces and
grand stands will be subdivided from
the main grounds by wire fences, mak
ing It Impossible for spectators to get
on the track at any point.
The entire course will be brilliantly
lighted In order that twenly-four hour
record trials may be given. The plans
provide for 420 Independent electric
nrc lights furnished with reflectors
stationed about the track and nrrang
ed.tn such a manner that the light will
be thrown away from the eyes of the
drivers.
J. P. MORGAN'S PARTING JEST.
Not to Corner Pyramids, For They
Haven't Any Cornen, He Said.
Before Balling for Europe the other
day for a long stay abroad J. I'ierpont
Morgan, the financier, laughingly con
fided to the reporters who met hliu on
the pier that he did not Intend to form
a corner In pyramids, at least not at
this time, but that he might be tempt
ed to purchase a few art treasures be
fore bis return.
Mr. Morgan, who was lu great good
humor, said:
"I will probably remain on the other
side for many weeks. I am going
abroad for the sake of a rest and for
enjoyment. My Immediate plans are
not very definite. I may even get as
far as Egypt. Yes, I am going to look
nronnd, and If I see anything I want
to add to my collection of art objects-
well, I might be tempted to buy.
However, I am not going abroad to
make purchases."
A cheerful person was moved to ask
him If he Intended to corner the pyra
mids.
'Tyrnmlds haven't any corners,"
was his reply. 9'hon ns an after
thought he added, with a smile, "Be
sides, I never corner anything." He
declined to discuss the financial or
business situation.

Dr. W. 0. McDowell's Scheme
For Abolishing War.
WANTS UNIVERSAL EXF.CUTIVE
Hie Title to Be Peacemaker World
wide Agreement Plannrd to Do
Away With Armiei and Navies.
The Hague Court to Be Judiciary
and National Parliaments Legislature.
For some time William Osborne Mc
Dowell, LL. D., lias been ut work de
veloping a moHt farresii lilui; l.!u 'of
universal peace, by which lie ''opus to
avert all war, to abolish standing 'ir
rules, to stop the building of b.ittk
shlpsand to substltutejuxtlce t rfor -c
all over the earth.
As a part of thfs plan he ui'es that
on the Lincoln centenary, I'eli. 12, the
first meeting shall be held to Inaugu
rate the "Culled Nations of the
World," with the permanent Inleruii
tlonal court at The Hague as the Judi
ciary department, the united natlonul
parliaments of the world ns the legis
lative department, and an executive,
whose title shall be "the peacemaker."
It Is said many well known men have
given approval of Dr. McDowell's
proposition. In telling of his plan Dr.
McDowell says In the New York
World:
"Since the entire civilized world Is
now united by eleoC.' bonds Into one
body, lu constant and lnstat.t comma
nlcatiou, It Is largely Interdependent
and Is rapidly becoming Abre so. War
now Involves the Interests of all, and
therefore one nation has no longer the
right to break the peace without refer
ence to others.
"To that end there has been drawn
up the first draft of a constitution for
the United Nations of the World. My
desire is that both may be given to a
movement that will ultimately become
the practical solution of not alone the
cessation of war, but the foundation
upon which the economic, moral and
Intellectual ns well as political future
will be based. Effort has been given
to make this first draft a document of
world democracy, giving representa
tion to the organized movements In
the various nations tending toward the
betterment of humanity.
"After the preamble the three de
partments of world government are
provided for the legislative, the exec
utive and the Judiciary. Judiciary and
legislative are provided for about as
they are here now, but section 3, deal
ing with the executive, Is us follows:
"Section 3. The executive department
shall be vested In one Individual, whose
title shall be the peacemaker, and live
associate Individuals, the first of whom
hall be the coadjutor peacemaker. The
econd associate shall be a woman, and
the other Jhree associates shall consist of
one selected from each of the three great
races of the world the Caucasian, the
Mongolian and the Ethiopian. Their ti
tles shall be respectively first, second,
third and fourth assistant coadjutor
peacemaker, and In case of vacancy In
the otttce of peacemaker the right of suc
cession shall be In the order above named.
The term of ofttce shall be bIx years, and
neither the peacemaker nor any coadju
tor peacemaker shall be eligible for re
flection as his own successor.
"Upon the termination of the term of
oftlce of the peacemaker he shall receive
the title of an elder statesman. His sal
ary shall be continued to him for life at
the rate of one-half the amount paid him
during his term of oftlce, and, if upon his
decease he shall leave a widow surviving
him, thon she shall receive during her
life an annuity equal to one-quarter of
the salary of the peacemaker. Elder
statesmen shall have no executive power
or authority whatever, but shall act sole
ly in an advisory capacity, giving the ac
tive peacemaker the benefit of their
knowledge and experience gained and be
ing subject at any time to his call for the
purpose of giving counsel.
"The peacemaker shall, with the assist
ance of Ills coadjutors and of the mem
bers of his cabinet, be responsible for tho
execution of all duties that are executive
In their nature, and he shall nominate to
tho congress or parliament all officers
authorized by law, those to be confirmed
or rejected by a majority vote of a quo
rum of congress before entering upon
their duties, except when vacancies occur
during an adjournment of congress, in
which event these may be tilled by ex
ecutive appointment until congress shall
meet and shall take action on the same.
Inaugurations shall be made on t ho 3Uth
day of April after the elections are held.
"Then come the secretaries, all but
threo of whom shall be president of
some international organization. These
are secretary of state, secretary of
peace, secretary of the treasury, at
torney general and secretaries for a
number of departments.
"The peacemaker Is to be elected by
a majority vote, takeu by mall, of the
intellectual lenders of the world, not
to exceed 100,000, to be approved by
the members of a committee or by the
temporarily selected peacemaker, this
committee to consist of one member
from each nation with a population
exceeding 25,000,000.
"The entire draft of the constitution
has been published by the Journal of
American History, which has beeu
made our repository. To Grout Brit
alu belongs the credit of having taken
up the flnauclal side of the pence
movement first. It has appropriated
$2IW,000 to be used at the discretion
of Its premier. This followed a reso
lution adopted by n unanimous vote
by the interparliamentary conference
held that year lu the parliament
house, Loudon, the motion for Its
adoption being mnde by the president
of the French group and seconded by
the president of the American group.
"The success of the Vnlted States of
America not only Justlllfs but calls for
the United Nations of the World."

ETERANACTOR
How Denman Thompson Wel
comed a Distinguished Visitor.
HIS QUICKNESS AT REPARTEE
Neat Illustration of It on a Railway
Journey Why' a Janitor Declined
His Generosity His Great Love For
Animals.
One summer Senator and Mrs. Jacob
H. Galllnger of New Hampshire visit
ed Keene. N. H., and, learning that
Denman Thompson, the veteran actor
of "Old Homestead" fame, was at his
home In Swanzey and being a great
admirer of Mr. Thompsou and his
play, the senator expressed a wish to
meet him off the stage and to Bee his
fine home. An old friend of Mr.
Thompson offered to drive down.
Therefore on one fine morning they
drove down to Mr. Thompson's house.
He came out without cont or hat,
hands behind his back, ns usual. The
following conversation ensued:
Denman How d' do, Bill?
Bill How are you. Den 1 Mr. Thomp
son, I want to Introduce Senator and
Mrs. Galllnger.
Senator Galllnger-Mr. Thompson, I
have witnessed your great production,
the "Old Homestead," many times and
always with the greatest pleasure, but
I want to say it Is with still greater
pleasure that I am permitted to greet
you In your own beautiful home In old
Swanzey.
Denman Yas; It's cheaper.
Mr. Thompson's quickness at repar
tee is well Illustrated by an Incident
which took place during a run from
Detroit to one of the smaller towns In
Michigan. Mr. Thompson had hired'
a sleeper to get him to the company's
destination, and while making a stop
at one of the intermediate stations
Uncle Josh left the car and, going Into
the depot, satisfied his craving for
some raw oysters. On coming out he
noticed one of the railroad employees
underneath the sleeper measuring. the
distance between the wheels.
"What are you doing there, my
friend?" asked Uncle Josh.
Measuring the trucks to see If this
car will run O. K. on the side branch
that you have got to travel over."
"That's all right, but I've hired this
car to get me to a certain point, and
If you don't get me there it will be
no pay.' That's what you might call
'measure for measure.' "
The following Incident occurred
when Mr. Thompson was playing one
night stands through the middle west,
The night the performance was to be
given In a certain town there was such
a terrific snowstorm that no one ven
tured out to the theater with the ex
ceptlon of one mun.
Undaunted by a "one man audience,"
Thompsou, stepping before the curtain,
told the lone listener that they Intend'
ed to give the performance from be
ginning to end, as though the hall were
packed: that they had advertised to
play thut night and that, to prove the
company was thoroughly honest and
always ready to give a "fair deal,'
they would stort the performance at
the usual time.
This was too much for the audience.
who had listened nervously to the re-
marks, so he shouted out: "Say, cut it
out, will you? I am the janitor, and I
waut to get home early."
A few years ago Denmun Thompson
was discussing with a party of friends
a certain automobile race.
"They hadn't any right," said one of
the party, "to deprive the farmers of
the highway which thry are paying
taxes for."
In reply the actor told "this story:
"A few days after the race," he said,
"I happened to be driving over part of
the same course. I stopped at a farm
house nnd asked to be allowed to give
the horse water. I got some cider.
"'What did you think of the auto
mobile race?' I asked my genial host,
"The best filing for me that eveK ,;,BO'
l. , rmlttee,
" 'What?' I exclaimed. 'I thought
all you farmers were agnlust it.'
'"Not me,' said the farmer. 'You
see, I got a balky mule that draws my
stuff into market every morning. Yes
terday morning that mule balked half
way to the market. Couldn't get him
to stir. While I was trylug to coax
him I saw a strange thing lying In the
roadway sort of a rubber thing. I
picked it up and accidentally squeezed
it. It let out a turrlble noise, Just like
one of those machines, and that mule
started, me on the tailboard, and nev
er stopped till It got to the ferry. I
brought It home, nnd I showed It to
Mandy, and we squeezed It and
squeezed It and squeezed it, and every
darn chicken ran to the coop, .every
darn pig hid In the pen, every darn
cow ran to the barn, the cat got be
hind the stove, the dog got In hit
house, and Mandy and me spent th
quietest night we've bad In many t
day. No, slrree, of all the labor sav
ing machines ever did bear of, thlt
Is the best.' "
An Incident illustrating Mr. Thomp
son's love for animals took place one
summer at his borne In Swanzey, N. H.
He was alone lu the house when somo-f
neighbor called, and as the friend
came up the walk to the house Mr.
Thompson's dog ran out, barking at
the supposed iu trader.
"Why do you keep sucTj a surly ani
mal?" asked the friend.
"Man must have something to love,"
replied Mr, Thompson. "When alone
I can give expression to my thoughts
In the presence of that dog, and I
sometimes flud myself in tears when
alone with him. He is my friend, as
are ail my cattle and every other ani
mal here on the farm."
