COUNTY - HISTORY- AUTHOR
Indorsements of Work Alleged to
Have Been Changed, and Sub
scribers Turn on Him,
When He Sues.
KNIGHTSTOWN. Ind., Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) What appears to have been a huge
fraud perpetrated on many people in
Henry. Madison. Delaware and other
counties has resulted in the arrest of
George Haxzard at Newcastle early this
morning on a warrant Issued by the pros
ecutor, "charging him with forgery. Ha
jtard came to this county four years ago
from T&eoma. , Wash. Prior to coming
here he had been secretary of the Demo
cratic state committee In that state.
Shortly after coming here, he announced
that he intended to publish a "History of
Henry County" and soon began soliciting
Indorsements for the proposed work. He
visited leading business and professional
men in every town and city In the county
and also the rural district, and obtained
hundreds of names to a paper which
merely indorsed his ability to write a
work of this character.
The history was published recently In
two volumes, -and these were distributed
throughout the county to men whose
names were on the Indorsement. Haj
zard's agents made deliveries, and In
many cases the books were left at the
homes during business hours, when the
men were at work. In hundreds of in
stances the books were refused and pay
ment denied on the ground that the books
were not subscribed for. However, Haz
lard says he has the names that appeared
on the Indorsement as subscribers for the
books.
In other Instances, well-known men
whose pictures and biographies appeared
In the books were made defendants to
suits demanding all the way from $50 to
J250 each, and in nearly every case pay
ment had been refused on the ground that
the work was not ordered. Several of
these suits have been filed by John R.
George, a Chicago bookbinder, to whom.
It is said, Hazzard has turned over the
subscriptions.
George Hazzard was secretary of the
Democratic state committee of Washing
ton at the time when Henry Drum was
chairman In the early '90s. - He was noted
for his energy in collecting campaign sub
scriptions from Democratic office-holders.
Some of his letters on this subject fell
Into the hands of Republican newspapers,
which published them with sarcastic com
ment, much to Hazzard's chagrin.
NOT OUT FOR CANNON
(Continued From'Pa-e l-
revise the tariff, confident that, if It
does not, the time Is surely coming
when the Democrats will gain control
and trill then revise it in a way that
will bring discontent, unrest and pos
sibly disaster.
Cannon's friends admit that Roosevelt
personally favors Taft for President and
say that he still prefers Taft to any
other man,- but they explain his alleged
turn to the Speaker on the ground that
the President, after carefully studying
the political horizon, has ' become con
vinced that Taft could probably not be
elected, even If nominated. They point
to the fact that the President places his
love of party above his preference for
any one candidate, and adroitly make It
appear that he has finally turned to Can.
non because he Is the strongest man In
the field and . the one most likely to be
elected. They do not claim that the
President advocates Cannon from choice.
but purely from the point of necessity.
because he would have Republican con-
trol of the Government continued after
he himself retires.
Taft and Cannon Compared.
But how Is Cannon stronger than Taft?
Cannon Is a pronounced stand-patter,
and If he should te nominated the tariff
would be the issue. Would Cannon, run
ning on a stand-pat platform, get the
full Republican vote In 1908? The unrest
In Iowa and In Massachusetts would not
Indicate It. The conditions In these two
states are only exaggerations of the
movement that is under way In other
states, and frequent talks with politicians
from many sections has developed scores
of Republicans who will not vote for
any candidate for President who Is ab
solutely 'committed to the present Ding
ley tariff. Taft, on the other hand, would
not run on a stand-pat platform, yet the
,sort of tariff revision he would advocate
would not drive from him men of the
Cannon type, the most Intense stand
patters. Taft Is as good a Republican as
any of them; he would stand for as
sound government as anyone In their
m ranks, and, knowing It, the stand
patters would give him their votes, even
though they differed with him on one
Important issue. One thing certain Taft,
nominated on a tariff revision platform,
would not let any Republican votes slip
over Into the Democratic column. The
stand-patters would have to vote for
Taft, for their failure to do so would
aid in the election of a Democrat, and
under a Democratic administration, pro
vided there was a Democratic Congress,
there would be such a revision of the
tariff as would alarm even the followers
of Governor Cummins. So, as far as the
tariff Is concerned, Taft has Cannon beat
In a walk.
Gompers Would Fight Cannon.
Then there is the labor question. Can
non has become involved in a wrangle
with President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, and he is fighting
Gompers on his own challenge and will
win. Gompers will not be able to defeat
Cannon for re-election to Congress. Gom
pers is comparatively harmless, yet he
is head of union labor in this country and,
if he works persistently for the next two
years, he will be able to arouse a great
deal of anti-Cannon sentiment throughout
the country. In some of the strong labor
. states Gompers might be able to defeat
the Republican ticket In 1908, provided
Cannon was at its head. He may never
be able to defeat Cannon for Conirress.
But while Cannon is having his troubles
with Gompers, Taft Is fishing. True, he
proposes to go to the aid of Representa
tive Llttleneld, who Is also opposed by
Gompers, but personally Taft has no
quarrel-with Gompers and, if Taft should
be nominated, Gompers would have noth
ing on which to base an onslaught on the
Republican nominee. So on the laDor
question, as on the tariff, Taft has a dis
tinct advantage over Cannon.
From present indications the tarlrt ana
the labor Question will be to the front in
1908; and Cannon's record in the session
of Congress Just closed will have been all
but forgotten. Taft will be on the popu
lar side: Cannon will be at a disadvan
tage. Roosevelt has declared until he is
tired that he will not accept another nom
ination, but the very fact that the party
would like to have him Is indication
enough that his recommendations will
bear great weight with the next conven
tion. Of course. If Cannon s friends speaK
truly and the President should let it be
known beyond all question of doubt that
he wanted to see Cannon nominated, the
Cannon boom might materialize into some
thing tangible. But if the President, on
the other hand, should cling to his pres
ent known preference and should advise
the nomination of Taft, the Cannon boom
would collapse after the convention had
done honor to the Speaker of the House.
Not Good Presidential Timber.
Cannon has been a faithful worker In
the Republican cause. He has served 32
years in the House and was once defeat
ed, In the year when McKlnley and other
prominent Republicans went down be
neath the Democratic avalanche. Few
men have rendered more faithful or more
valuable service in Congress. But for an
that. Cannon, lacks some of the qualifica
tions for President. He Is not rated as
first-class Presidential timber. In the
rating Taft overtops him, and, together
with his advantages, he does not carry
some of the drawbacks or handicaps that
attach to Cannon.
This being the situation, well known in
Washington and among all who have
carefully studied the situation, it may be
set down for a fact that the President
was either joking when he told Cannon
he would be the next .President of the
United States, or else the President never
made the statement. No man in his senses
can believe the President seriously ex
pressed any such opinion, particularly at
time when the uannon Doom naa not
even been launched. The story is fishy.
GIVE HILL Ti FOR ONE
VAX HORXE WILL RETALIATE
FOB INVASION OF CANADA.
Says Hill Take9 Revenge for Cana
dian Pacific Line to Spokane
and Disparages His Line.
NEW YORK. Aug. 24. Representatives
of the two great railway systems of the
Northwest that are at daggers' points
''iit,'TlYM
Sir W. C. Van Home, chairman of
Canadian Board of Directors.
about invasions ot each other's territory,
are In the city. They are James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, and Sir
William C. Van Horne, chairman of the
directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Sir William promptly threw down the
gauntlet to Mr. Hill when asked for his
opinion of the latter s plan to build a
Canadian line from the Pacific Ocean to
Winnipeg, Manitoba, In retaliation for the
Canadian Pacific's encroachment on the
Great Northern's preserves.
"I don't know what Mr. Hill's plans
are," said- Sir William. "Mr. Hill may
be seriously planning the building of some
lines Into Canadian Pacific territory, and
while I am little more than an individual
director in that company, I do not
hesitate to say that two miles of line In
the Interest of Canadian Pacific will be
built In Tils territory to every mile he
builds in that of the Canadian Pacific."
Sir William expressed belief that the
real motive for Mr. Hill's project to build
a Canadian line was the active competi
tion of the Canadian Pacific in through
business from Chicago to Spokane, Wash.
"Mr. Hill," he said, "Is foolish to attribute
his attitude to any other motive. In car
rying through business from Chicago to
Spokane his company adds to its through
rates the local rate from Spokane to the
Coast and back. Mr. Hill has built a few
spurs northward into Canada, but I don't
see how he can make profitable a through
line from Vancouver across the mountains
to Winnipeg along the route he talks
about. From the Fraser River Valley to
that place he would have a heavy grade
system, and he would have to parallel a
branch line of the Canadian Pacific.
"If he has discovered easy passes
through the mountains he has accom
plished something that our engineers
could not discover. Our engineers have
gone over nearly every square foot of the
territory, proceeding along the crests of
the mountain ranges and making note of
every available depression."
Mr. Hill, when Informed of Sir William's
observations, intimated that the Canadian
Pacific's Interests evidently did not have
a clear realization of the situation. "That
talk about the rates to Spokane is non
sense," he said, "but I am not going to
talk back. The Canadian line is going to
be built, but not by Mr. Hill and his
friends. I am not building any railroads
as an Individual. It is a Great Northern
enterprise."

Eugene Field, sad of countenance and ready of
tongue, once strayed into a New York restaurant
and seated himself for luncheon. A voluble
waiter came to Field and said, "Coffee, tea-chocolate,
ham-an '-eggs, beefsteak-mutton-chop-fish-balls-hash'n
'-beans," and much more to the same
purpose. .
Field looked at him long and solemnly, and at
last replied :
"Oh, friend, I want none of these things. All
I want is an orange and a few kind words."
Eugene was to be easily pleased. We're not
looking for his sort; send us the hard-to-please
