BEVERLY. Mass.. Aug. 8. Beverly was
almost aa hot as Washington today, but
President Taft passed a lazy Sunday and
did not seem to mind the more than SO
degrees in the shads. He attended morn
ing servlcea at the Unitarian Church and
devoted several hours In the afternoon to
reading.
Mr. Taft has several official matters
before him during the coming week. One
is to dispose of the matter of census su
pervisors throughout the entire United
State.
The President is giving serious con
I slderation to the strained situation be
tween Japan and China over the Mukden-Antung
Railroad. The matter was
brought to his attention by Secretary
Knox before he left Washington. The
United States will have a hand In
whatever is done by the powers.
No Customs Judges 'Yet.
The President has definitely decided
he will not make any appointments to
the bench of the Customs Court, pro
. vided for in the new tariff bill. While
It authorized the Court. Congress
failed to make an appropriation for the
Judges or any other officials.
xjr. Taft has no desire to antagonise
Congress and tie believes in this matter
the Senate and House members should
have a right to express by vote their pref
erences In the. matter of salaries.
Mr. TrfTt has turned over to Secretary
MacVeagh the task of selecting five" ex
perts to form a tariff commission. These
expert are Intended primarily to asstot
the President In the administration of the
maximum and minimum provision of the
law.
Message Most Wait.
President Taft said today that he did
not expect to do any active work on his
message to Congress until November. He
has had the general outline of his mes
sage in mind for some time. Several of
the cabinet members are working on de
tails of the various provision and will
report their conclusions to the President.
Attorney-General Wickersham, for in
stance, Is working on the proposition of
revising lntereetate commerce and the
anti-trust laws.
President Taft Is looking forward to
a period of great prosperity in the
Philippines aa a result of the enact
ment of the Philippine tariff law. He
believes many small industries .will be
built up in the islands under the mar
ket afforded Filipino products in this
' country. The opening of the American
market to Philippine sugars, the Presi
dent believes, will make tobacco more
valuable in the Islands, and will en
able the peasant, planters to get a fair
price for their products.

If Insurance Commissioner Is Not

Officer Banks on Friends.
BT J. H. BROWN.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug., 8. (Special.)
Thursday, August 12, the Washington
Legislature will assemble In Olympia for
the third time this year and there 'be
those who predict that ere the current
month has expired the state's lawmakers
will again be specially summoned for a
fourth session.
The chief purpose, of the coming clinic
Is a second operation for the removal
of a member of the body politic, one J.
H. Schively by name. Insurance Com
missioner by grace of the direct primary,
a pridr operation last June having been
unsuccessful. j
And in this coming operation, as fre
quently happens when capital operations
are undertaken, complications are feared.
June 23, oat summons of Governor Hay,
the Legislature assembled to hear the re
port of the investigating committee
which had been gathering fajcts and data
about the maladministration of the In
surance Department by Schively during
the term while he was actually head of
the department though officially (only
an employe under, the Secretary of State,
Sam H. Nichols, the latter being ex
off cio Insurance Commissioner. . ,
Schively Shifts Blame.
Schively In the past has admitted the
facts complained of( but now seeks to
justify himself by placing the blame
upon Nichols, who resigned when the fire
began to get hot. Schively refused to
resign, so the House of- Representatives
at the June session brought Impeach
ment proceedings.
During the recess of the Legislature,
the House members who are managing
the impeachment have been gathering
and preparing their evidence. The plead
ings have been brought to what attorneys
term "at issue" and Thursday the Senate
assembles as a court to try the case.
. The chief charge against Schively is
that under a law permitting him prac
tically to charge "ail'- the traffic would
bear" for Investigating the financial con
dition of all Insurance companies apply
ing for a permit to do business in this
state, he established a flat rate of 8300,
made noexamlnation. in many Instances
and personally pocketed the money. Ad
mittedly the law permitted him to make
the charge and was silent as to requir
ing the cash to be turned into the treas
ury. Policy Has Cost Heavily.
Operating: under such a plan, It is likely
the company which would put up the
money would be admitted, irrespective' of
Its solvency. . and without consideration'
for the rights of the citizens of the state

SPOKANE. Wash., Aug.. 8. (Special.)
"My appointment of J. Stanley' Web
ster to the fifth Superior Court Judge
ship of Spokrane County was not made
in payment of any debt of gratitude
I owed to anyone or on account of
friendship with anybody," declared
Governor Hay tonight, when asked re
garding the report that Webster's, ap
pointment ' was directly the result of
personal work of members of the mys
terious order of Pan Tans, whose po
litical workings, as revealed by City
Commissioner Tuerke, have stirred the
city. '
That A. C. Edwards, president of the
order, had been instrumental in secur
ing the appointment in consideration of
Edwards' decision not to contest the
vote for Lieutenant-Governor in' the
last election was rumored.
"Had Mr. Edwards urged the ap
pointment as head of the Order of Pan
Tans, I would not have considered his
appeal with' the consideration given,
and an appeal for personal regard
alone. I have felt proud of that ap
pointment, and I think had 'reason for
it. I cannot conceive of a Superior
Judge, or, for that matter, any of
ficial, so far forgetting his duty to
become allied with an organization
such as the Pan Tans is reputed to be.
Such an affiliation would be disloyal,
unpatriotic and un-American."
The Governor says his first intima
tion that such an organization existed
was when he read an account of the
expose made by Tuerke in Seattle Fri
day. "I am still loath to believe that
Judges on the bench would do such a
thing as to link themselves with such
an order. I know my course in the
matter, but cannot yet outline it pub
licly," said he.
It is understood that men in touch
with, state affairs' are making a quiet
investigation, with Governor Hay, the
result of which will be announced soon.

The fruit crop of Oregon this year has
turned out better than expected. Early
in the season it was feared the crop
would be almost a failure. The unusually
cold Winter and the dry Spring caused
the orchards to look anything but good,
but these fears have been dispelled by
the reports from the different sections
of the state.
; Small fruits on the ' whole, have not
done well, but the staple cropsy-apples,
pears and peaches promise a yield that
will aggregate only about 100 carloads
less - than the fine crop of 1908.
Apples 80 Per Cent Last Year's Crop
The apple crop, which a few months
ago it was predicted would be a failure,
will, from present indications, amount
to a little over 80 per cent of la6t year's
output, while the quality will be as good
as it ever was. Of peaches there will be
about TO per cent of the production of
last year, while' nearly twice as many
pears will be marketed aa in 1908. Prunes
are not grown- in all parts of the state
yet they are one of the most Important
products and the crop this year will be
almost a third heavier than last year.
The best general reports come from
Southern Oregon. Medford and Central
Point, which are heavy shippers of fruit,
will have almost twice as many apples
and three times as many pears as last
year, while Ashland will increase its
shipments of apples and peaches, Grants
Pass will ship 60 per cent more apples,
UO per cent more pears and 60 per cent
more peaches,' and Merlin will have. 60
per cent more peaches than a year ago.
The peach and apple crop of the Rosor
burg district will be but a half of last
year's though pears will equal and prob
ably exceed the crop of 1908.

Controversy, It Is Expected, Will Be
Adjusted Without Resort to
Arbitration.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-vAccordIng to the out
look tonight there will be no strike of the
streetcar employes of Chicago, and a set
tlement is likely to be reached by tomor
row night.
It is said an offer of a wage increase,
based on employes' length of service, will
be made by President Mitten; of the Chi
cago City Railway Company.
John M. Roach, president of the Chi
cago Railways Company, has had his
auditors at work figuring out a method of
advancing wages, and it is said his first
offer to a committee of his employes to
morrow will be on the same general basis
as that of Mr. Mitten.
The controversy probably will be ad
justed without resort to outside arbitra
tion. 'The employes say they are decided
ly opposed to arbitration, and rather than
submit to it will accept any reasonable
compromise coming from the companiea
direct. .
POLES RIOT AT CHURCH
Police Stop Demonstration Against
Disliked Priest. '
CHICAGO, Aug. 8. A serious riot was
prevented at the morning service of St.
Joseph's Catholic Church today by police.
As soon as Father Pyplatz began his
sermon, a portion of the congregation
started to sing the Polish national
anthem, completely drowning the words
of the priest. A demonstration by the
police caused the song to stop, but the
service was elided to prevent further
trouble. '
When Father Pyplatz returned after a
year's leave of absence he found a strong
sentiment against him in his congrega
tion. The opposing faction charged he
had collected J2000 for repairs for the
church and kept the money. Father
Pyplatz says he can produce receipts for
that amount spent for repairs.

CASE MAY DRAG WEEKS
If Witnesses Can- Be Suggested to
Testify Young Man Died by Hand ,
of Another, They Must Be
Heard In Thorough Inquiry.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., Aug. 8 (Special.)
The Sutton Inquiry will enter upon an
interesting phasa tomorrow when Mrs.
Sutton will testify in open session. Mrs.
button was questioned yesterday, but in
accordance with the ruling of the court
with reference to the letters written by
her, she gave her testimony behind
closed doors.' Both Mrs. Sutton and her
daughter, Mrs. Parker, are perfectly
willing to give their testimony with ref
erence to the charges made in the let
ters in open court.
More Witnesses to Be Called.
The whole of the controversy between
Judge Advocate Leonard and Mr. Davis,
counsel for Mrs. Sutton, would probably
have been avoided had Mr. Davis had an
intimation that the letters would be In
troduced and an opportunity given of con
sulting with his clients. Should Mrs. Sut
ton be able to suggest to the court any wit
nesses who can support by their testi
mony the charges that her son met. his
death by a shot from a weapon in the
hand of another, it will, of course, be
come the duty of the court, acting
through the Judge Advocate, to procure
the testimony of these witnesses. The ex
amination of Mrs. 9utton and Mrs.
Parker may therefore suggest further
lines of investigation which will drag
the case on for weeks, or possibly result
In adjournment until new witnesses can
be procured.
' Case to Go All Week.
At any rate,, the hearing is likely to
last even the- whole of this week. . The
examination of Mrs. Sutton and -of. Mrs.
Parker is likely to occupy some time,
Particularly is this true In the case of
Mrs. Parker. The latter has already in
