Revival of Business Conditions
Already Afoot
CHICAGO MAN HAS GOOD NEWS
Jast Home From Hanover, Where
be Served as American Consul, he
Speaks by the Mark Germany is.
Ahead by 500 Per Cent in Trade.
NEW YORK, July 30.-Robert J.
Thompson, a Chicago manufacturer
who has been spending the last two
years as United States consul at
Hanover. Germany, has arrived in
New York on a business trip and
will spend his annual vacation in
Chicago. Speaking of business con
ditions abroad and at home, the in
dication of returning prosperity and
the general improvement of commer
cial conditions Mr. Thompson said:
"A very good and a very sure
thing of trade conditions is the de
clared exports to the United States
from Europe. A rapid revival in
business conditions is going on this
ery minute. It may not be appar
ent in every respect, nut in orders
placed in Germany by American buy
ers and in goods now being shipped
to this country, the improvement dur
ing the quarter ended July 30 has
been almost marked as the falling off
was noticeable during the previous
six months.
"'Germany has felt the effects of the
depression here very acutely as, her
exports to American are principally
manufactured utilities. While the
Talue of our exports to Germany
vastly exceeds what we buy from
her this being on account of her
purchase of raw products such as
cotton, grain and petroleum in a
comparison on an exchange of manu
factured articles purely, she has us
beaten by nearly 500 per cent, this is,
she sells us a hundred millions worth
f manufactured articles while we
sell her perhaps twenty millions
worth."

Ion declares neither company has a
right to install, the nicfcel-in-the-slot
devices, and that it is in direct viola
tion of the franchises. The franchises
states clearly that telephone service
will be given for a certain rate per
month, and Superintendent Bouillon
declares where the public is required
to drop a nickel every time the tele
phone is ised, the monthly rate will
be greatly in excess of the maximum
rates prescribed by the ordinance or
by special grant. If the companies
desires to carry on this kind of ser
vice, they must apply for franchises
to the city council. A vigorous fight
will be made against' the telephone
companies in an effort to have the
nickel-in-the-slot devices put out of
commission.
TAFT'S MANY ENGAGEMENTS,
Has Accepted the Invitation to At-
tend Bar Association Meeting.
HOT SPRINGS, July 30.-Judge
Taft admitted this afternoon that he
felt somewhat fatigued after the ex
periences of the past few days. After
passing upon the accumulation of
correspondence he went over a four
mile golf course with Senator Bourne
of Oregon as opponent. His engage
ments during August will be limited
if the candidate has his way. He has
accepted the invitation to attend the
annual meeting of the Virginia Bar
Association next week. His speech
will be non-political. The horse show
at White Sulphur Springs next week
to which Taft has been invited, he
stated was somewhat tempting. The
proposed rally of the Virginia repub
licans at some date next month has
not yet been fixed and will afford the
opportunity for what Taft expects to
be his only political speech
month.

Wonderful Clock on Exhibition
in New York
HAS REMARKABLE MOVEMENTS
All the Movements of the Earth Are
Represented by an Astronomical
Clock Rivals in Accuracy the Most
Delicate Instrument Made.
. NEW YORK, July 30.-A11 the
movements of the earth are repre
sented by a remarkable astronomical
clock which has been placed on public
view at the American Museum of
National History. It was designed
by Dr. Herman C. Bumpus, director
of the institution and is the result of
months of patient experiment. It
shows the daily rotation of the earth
upon its axis, the light from the
stereopticon shines on the sphere in
such a manner as to illuminate half
of it at a time. The shadow of a
wire which is back of the lens cor
responds to the meridian of New
York.
The earth is caused to revolve by
means of a shaft which derives its
power from a small clock. This shaft
passes through a wooden tunnel and
communicates its power to bevel
gears, which cause the sphere to be
always changing its poise.
By watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the
time o fday with methematical accu
; racy.
The contrivance was constructed

cian connected with the museum.

CHICAGO. July M-The ' an
nouncement in New York last night
that Ktow and Erlanger had formed
a partnership arrangement with Kohl
and Castle, the Chicago vaudeville
managers of the Chicago opera house,
luieted the last echo of the "Vaude
ville war" that made interesting talk
for Chicago theatre-goers last winter.
Especial significance is attached to
the move, atde from its indication of
a complete cessation of hostilities,
from the fact that the change wil
mark the entrance of Klaw and F.r
Linger into Chicago theatrical affairs
as actual partners in the lesse or ow
nership of a-theatre.
They have what is known j a
"tock interest" in the Colonial and
Illinois theatres, but their participa
tion i nthe management of the houses
has been confined to this and has been
only nominal. ,
With the new arrangement as an
opening wedge, it is rumored that the
activities of the New York firm may
extend to other Chicago theatres.'
