All Bread and Wheat Foods Consumed
on Thursday Were Made of Durum,
In Complaince With Request of
Grain Growers For the Purpose of
Establishing Claim for Durum as a
Bread Grain Equal of Standard
Hard Varieties.
In compliance with a proclamation
of Governor Rurke, North Dakotans
on Thursday of last week ate dur
um wheat only. The proclamation
was Issued in compliance with a
request of the grain growers of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota for
the purpose of establishing durum as
a bread grain.
The day was observed throughout
the slate. All bread and wheat foods
were made of durum and the sales of
thnt quality of flour in consequence
were heavy.
A widespread Interest has been tak
en by the farmers in pushing the sale

come from their land would be much
increased. A test showed it to be
equal to standard hard varieties for
bread and other food products.
HEARST RUNS FOR MAYOR
With Proviso That Associates Are In
dependent of Tammany Hall.
After two days of silence William
Randolph Hearst announced to a
crowd of waiting constituents that
he would accept an indeperulenti
nomination for mayor of New York,
provided that, in effect, his associates
upon the city nnd county tickets be
strictly lndependt-nt, with opposition
against Tammany Hall united and not
divided.
All preparations having been made
for launching the Civic Alliance, It is
expected that Mr. Hearst's wishes will
be fulfilled and that a third party un
der this name will be Injected into the
coming munlclpnl campaign, with
Hearst at the head.
It became a certainty that the may
oralty contest would become a three
sided one even if Hearst persisted In
his refusal to run. As proof of this
a group of independents filed notice
with the board of elections that their
organization will bo known as tho
Civic Alliance. With the adoption of
this new name It la believed that the
old Independence League, under whose
banner Hearst conducted his former
fights, will cease to play an Important
part In New York pclltlcs. Hearst's
followers charge that the machinery
of the old party was stolen through
Tammany manipulation at the recent
primaries.
CHINESE PORK IN LONDON
Nine Per Cent of the Carcases Found
to Be Infected With Tuberculosis.
No fewer than 9 per cent of the car
cases of Chinese hogs recently im
ported Into England and Inspected by
the sanitary committee of London have
been found to be affected with tuber
culosis. This remarkable outcome of
the inspection has occurred in spite of
the fact that the ('ureases were labeled
at the port of shipment In China "med
ically examined and certified to be
free from disease."
The first shipment of 5,000 hogs
was brought from China In a refriger
ating ship. They arrived here Aug.
7 and sold well In the wholesale mar
ket. Although they were offered by
the retail butchera at 25 per cent be
low the prices charged for other Im
ported hogs, they did not find favor
with the public, who displayed great
prejudice against them. The butchers
were then obliged to raise the prices
of American and European pork lu
order to dispose ot their Chinese
stock. The steamship company which
endeavored to Introduce the Chinese
pork was of the opinion that it would
prove, owing to lis cheapness, a strong
cocpetitor with frozen beef and mut
ton. CUT IN OFFICIAL SALARIES
Chicago Unable to Maintain Municipal
Payroll at Old Level.
A cut of 10 per cent in the sal
aries of all officials and employes
of the city of Chicago, from .Mayor
llusse's $18,000 down to the lowliest
laborer, has been agreed upon by the
mayor and department heads for next
year.
The measure was mado necessary
by the difficulty of maintaining the
payroll at 1U old level, which last
year reached nearly $15,000,000.
The cut before becoming effective
must be sanctioned by the city coun
cil, where a big light against it Is
expected.

SEYMOR RODE ON ENGINE
Had a Chance to See What an Artier
lean Locomotive Can Do.
Admiral Sir Edward Seymour
tvent a sight-seeing last Friday on
a locomotive of the Twentieth Century
limited. Seated beside the engineer,
he rode 4" miles up the east bank of
the Hudson from New York to Ossln-lng-the
first seventeen miles In one
of the New York Central'B big elec
tric engines and the remaining thirty
miles In the cab of of No. 3450, a 225-ton
steam locomotive.
Admiral Seymour expressed a desire
to see what an American locomotive
could do, and as soon as the switches
and low speed signs of the city were
left behind Engineer Bill Kiley gave
No. 3150 a chance to display her prow
ess. The admiral watched the throt
tle open wider and wider until on a
clear stretch of track near Ossinlng
the pointer of the speed dial mounted
to 84 miles an hour and the heavy
train whirled over a mile of rail In a
fraction less than forty-three seconds.
The edmlral'F trip was the outcome
of a suggestion made to him by .1. Pier
pont Morgan at one of the Hudson
Fulton functions last week. The two
had been discussing the comparative
speed of ships and locomotives. "Be
fore you leave us," said Mr. Morgan,
"you should take a tide on one of our
fast trains "
FOREIGN WARSHIPS LEAVE
Fleet Officers Remained to Search For
Sailor Who Did Not Turn Up.
Six of the givat foreign men-of-war
three British armored cruisers and
three French battleships crept out to
sea through the Narrows just at dark
Friday night, leaving behind them a
great cloud of o.noke and a substantial
number of their men.
.lust how many of the bluejackets
remained in the city for one reason or
another Is a matter of official knowl
edge only, but It wns reported that 200
men from the British ships had failed
to turn up for duty. Of the French
men It wan snld that only three out of
the 2,500 snilnrs had stayed behind.
Fleet officers remained to search for
the men of both squadrons.
When the Britl.-h squadron visited
New York several years ago It lost 300
men. In many cass the English sail
ors have friends here nnd in addition
the lure of American wages sometimes
proves lrrestlble.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY
Carnegie Steel Co.'s Next Payroll Will
Be Largest In Two Years.
The bi-weekly payroll of the Car
negie Steel company at Pittsburg
that will be given out next week
will be the largest that company has
handed out since the business depres
sion of two years ngo. It Is estimated
that the next pay will reach $300,000
or more. The Increase is caused by
the many men that the company has
added to their roll since last payday.
Similar conditions prevail with the
National Tube company at all of their
plants nnd their pay will equal that
ol the Carnegie company.
In the Mon.mgahela valley opera
tions are about !'7 per cent of capa
city and with the settlement of the
cutters and flntteners' strike at the
plant of the American Window Glass
comiinny at Monongahela City the
per cent will be materially Increased,
bringing It up to about 100 per cent.

LIBEL CASE
Continuation of Hearing Against
Smith and Williams.
Government Counsel Said He Believed
at Former Hearing That Correction
of New York World Was Sent to In
dianapolis News but He Later
Found That Denial of Cromwell
Was Printed In Edition of World
That Was Not Sent to Indianapolis.
.Indianapolis, Oct. 12. The hearing of
the libel case against Delavan Smith
and Charles C. Williams, both of
whom are under Indictment at Wash
ington in connection with others for
strictures on the Panama canal pur
chase, was resumed before Judge An
derson of the federal court. Stuart
McNamara. chief counsel for the gov
ernment, had charge of the case.
Irving C. Sauter, government secret
service man, was the only witness in
troduced by the government He tes
tified that he had visited the office of
the Indianapolis News, in Washington,
and that he hsd seen copies of the
News on cale In Washington hotels.
Sauter was not cross-examinod.
Documentary Evidence.
Mr. McNamara said he would In
troduce documentary evidence and be
gan by rending portions of the testi
mony given by William Nelson Crom
well before the senate Investigating
committee In 11106, when the senate
was Investigating the transaction by
which the United States obtained the
Panama canal property from Colom
bia. Mr. McNanura read from a report
of the Isthmian canal commission tho
appraisement of the Panama canal
property for the purpose of reaching a
purchase figure for the United States
to pay for the property. These figures
showed the total appraisement wan
$40,000,000. A further statement was
.that the canal company had spent
$109,141,500 on the property.
Mr. McNamara Introduced In evi
dence an article published In the In
dianapolis News an Oct. 36 under a
heading, "The Canal Deal," and an
other published on Dec. 10 under a
heading "Who Got the Money?"
These were articles set out In the In
dictment. Mr. McNamara asked Mr.
Winter, the attorney for the defense,
to admit that copies of the Indianapo
lis News containing the nlleged libel
ous articles had been circulated In the
District of Columbia. Mr. Winter re
fused. Mr. MeNnmnra said that when he
was here for the former hearing, he
believed the denial made by William
Nelson Cromwell and published in the
New York World on Oct. 6, 1!)08, was
printed In the edition which was sent
to the Indlaniipolls News, but that
since then he had found that the de
nial was published In the second edi
tion of the World, and that the second
edlMon is not sent to the News.
McNamara Argues For Government.
No further testimony was offered,
the government resting Its case. The
defense announced that It had nothing
more to offer. Arguments were then
begun, Mr. McNamara making the
first argument for the government.
He took up first the question of
whether there was probable cause for
belief thnt the defendants committed
the crime alleged In the indictment.
He reviewed a number of facts In the
case and pointed out that Mr. Smith
had read the Panama canal article
complained of (In the New York
World In New York nnd that he
clipped out the story, filed It with a
telegraph company to be telegraphed
to the Indianapolis News. Mr. Will
iams, ho snld, testified that he did not
write the nlleged libelous articles, but
that they all came to him for ap
proval before being published In the
News. This, Mr. McNamara said,
showed the connection of Mr. Williams
with the articles In question.
Mr. McNamara said the testimony
showed that none ot the parties had
tried to verify the rumors nnd the
charges made In the Pnnama canal
matter, but that, they had gone ahead
and published them without Investi
gation. Mr. MrNamnra contended thnt tho
IKisltion of the News In this matter
was that when n man was charged
with graft nnd crime and had made a
denial of the charge, ho should be re
garded guilty until he proved his In
nocence. He said Charles P. Taft
denied the chargo that had been made
against him In relation to the Pana-
Jna canal deal anil yet tho News said
Mr. Taft had not produced any evi
dence to support his denial. Mr. Mc
Natnnra rend all the articles set out
In the Indictment to show, he said,
that the libel wns continuous, running
through the News for several days. He
also ixilnted out that the defendants
knew that the records of the Panama
deal were all accessible in the govern
ment olli In Washington and that
the defendants could hnve Investigat
ed the charges before publishing the
nlleged libelous articles If they had
cared to make sure of their facts.
