AND LOWV/LLE TIMES. •}& H. A. PHILLIPS PUBLISHING COMPANY. LOWVILLE, N. Y., THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1909. VOLUME 80. No. 30. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. Item* of Interest from Gotham. SARATOGA SALVATION ACT. at Heavy Summer Exodus — P«trosino'i PaU—Mu«ic MOTOS—Murphy's Minut*«—Sun Shin«s. New York,June 7.—More than a nun rireil thousand New Yorkers have to-day left this city as the van guard of the annual summer Bortee which is already under way. Crammed to the rails with hundreds of vacation tourists, the big ocean liners are swinging off down the bay each day, while thousands of fam- ily parties are flocking away through the railway terminals. All shore and sound craft are groaning under the burden of this annual exodus to woods, fields, seashore, mountains and lakes. Seldom have the people of Gotham be- gun their rush to the vacation grounds so early or in such' overwhelming num- bers. For the last two summers the pinch of the times was sadly shown in the late, leisurely and lean condition of this Ivery traffic. To-day, however, the observers see in the press of the ~ vacation crowds sure signs of brighter spirits and better business downtown. Empowered by a special law fresh from the hand of the Governor, the police* department is to-day setting about the pensioning of Adelina Petro- sinOthose husband left her little besides the heritage of a martyred patriot's memory. Already some of the citizens of this town, for whose safety Petro- sino gave up his life, have rallied about the stricken widow with all the aid that they could muster. Now that the support of the wife and baby girl of the murdered detective is to be as- sured by the police force, every true New Yorker is greatly gratified. The curse of the baleful Black Hand has followed the body of its victims to,his home, and by a hundred secret signs the police say they can see it hovering malevolently over the future of his family. Strong arms and stout hearts from among the friends of Petrosino v stand ready to protect his loved ones, it ia assured, and nothing need now be lacking for their welfare. With the removal this week of one lonely music stap from Union Square, the end has coffe of what was for years one of the most famous centers of the great music houses of this city. \ From end to end of the Broadway side of the lonj? square the front face of every building formerly bristled with music, instruments and every accompaniment of the musicians calling. Long-haired virtuosos block th«rside walks/In eager converse over the themes of their art. Studios filled every upstairs /corner of the rambling buildings in whose lower floors the great music houses set forth their stacks of sheet music and stored their great collections of musical lore. To-day this little world ofthe musician i.s torn to shreds and its component parts scattered to the ends of the upper city. In fine stone structures all about town the big music houses may be dis- covered, while the flocks of artists that once buzzed about .them is broken up forever with no common -gathering • ground. To jump for the rfeck of a - maddened* % horse, galloping before a truck full of —won-down-a-alippery-hill, was^the-^firsti Hon. Edward L Brackott Wins Out 1 the Expense of the People of This State. Early in the last session of the Legis- lature that eminent constitutional law- yer and distinguished reformer, the Hon. Edgar. Truman Brackett intro- duced a measure of passing importance in the State Senate. The bill provided for a direct appropriation of $1,000,000 for the purchase of various lands and easements in and about the Saratoga ,Springs. This sum, so the customary phraseology of the measure had it, \is hereby granted out of any funds in the State treasury not otherwise appropri- ated.\ As introduced the bill was note- worthy only as it exceeded by a con- siderable margin the amount the most ambitious statesman are accustomed to demand for their constituents from a generous Governor and an overflowing State treasury. As the session progressed, however, it became apparent that the State treasury was not overflowing to the de- sired extent. On the contrary it was plainly apparent that a respectable de- ficit was in view, notwithstanding the various messages of the Governor urg- ing economy upon the Legislature. Presently, therefore, the Hon. Edgar- Truman Brackett's measure was amen- ded. In its later form it called for but $600,000, and to the language of direct appropriation cited above there was ad- ded the provision for an issue of bonds. The payments incident to the purchase of Saratoga lands moreover,: the act provides, \shajl be payable only out of moneys realized from the sale of such bonds or certificates.\ In the latest form Governor Hughes signed the bill and appointed as com- missioners under its provision the Hon. Edward M. Shepard, the Hon. Spencer Trask and the Hon. Frank N. Godfrey. The commissioners, so the Governor announced in a public statement, \may select and acquire properties for the purposes of the bill.\' By this simple device several things were accom- plished. Chiefly, however, there was eliminated from the State budget a charge of $600,000. We have elsewhere discussed the size of the budget and the interesting fact that it had increased upward of $50,000,000 last year, with an incidental deficit of $20,000,000 for the year. A Governor who had vetoed grade crossing appropriations could hardly be expected to subject himself to criticism for allowing ' appropriations for the State to set up in mineral water busi- ness or to allow the constituents of the president of the Hughes State League to sell their backyard to the State. A bond issue, however, seemed admirably adapted to save the Governor from criticism, keep the budget down, and satisfy Mr. Brackett. Of course every one knows a bond issue costs no one anything, that is not 'immediately, in any event. • \ There is, however a rather interest- ingquestion of constitutionality that arises in the/p^esent situation. The lay- men who reads that article of the Con- stitution which covers the subject of the disposition of State funds' will find it surprisingly out of harmony with the present measure. Authorization is to be sure granted to the State to contract PULP AND PAPER DUTIES. A Letter From Herman Ridd«r r Presi- dent of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. New York, June 7. 1909. Mr. Editor;—A Senator at Washing- ton says the directors of the. Interna- tional Paper Company tell him the re- duction of the print paper tariff will force a reorganizaion of that company and the wiping out of its preferred stock. One of the senators from Vermont and a number of senators from other states are trying to justify themselves in the support of the Dingley rates for print paper, by the statement that the stock of the International Paper Com pany had been sold to 4,200 women and that they would be injured by any in- terferance with the tariff on paper. During ten years of Dingley-rates, that company has steadily fallen behind. How would a continuance of those rates save it? Might it not be wise to call your Senator's attention to the fact that the International Paper Company was organized to unload a collection of ok) mills on investors and that Mr. Chiaom and the other capitalists who financed that proposition and made it possible to unload worthless securities on gullible women, should be made to bear the&urden of ltabiity— not news paper publishers? As appears by the testimony of Gen- eral Manager Whitcomb, of the Inter- national Paper Company, to the Mann Committee (see page 1072) the Inter- national Paper Company acquired one hundred and eleven paper machines in 1898. It discontinued, leased, sold or turned to other uses, forty-four of the original one hundred and eleven ma- chines. It has to-day only sixty-seven ^machines making news print pa\per. t>id it buy the Haverhill mill at high price and dismantle it from public mo- tives? The stoppage of those forty- four machines from the production of news print paper was part of a pro- gramme to monopolize the paper mar- ket and to restrict production and to raise prices. They capitalized those worn-out and depleted mills at double the cost of modern mills. They watered the capitalization to the extent of $35,- 000,000 at your expense. Any Senator of the United States who undertakes seriously to justify that performance and protect the promoters of that venture, at your cost, ia not dealing fairly with you. Can you write to your Senator and tell him he extent of the oppression that the corner on paper and the raise in prices .during 1907, imposed upon you as one outcome of. the combinations whkh were made possible by the tariff duty* of $6.00 per ton on print paper Yours faithfully. GREAT WIRELESS STATION. It Will Co«t About $300,000 and Will be the Greatest Station That the World Has Ever Known.

From the Chautauqua New York In- stitution we learn that the Rev. Fran- cis B. Clark, now President of the United Association of Christian. En- deavor, and editor of the Christian En- deavor World, was at thirty^pastor of a small church in Portland, Maine, and • the author of two bookawhich had.not excited great attention. In 186J? he founded in his own church a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor *.-which seemed irt, wtey. to;. Solve the young people's prolflem. 4 The idea was taken/up so widely that in six years he lp his pastorate and devoted bis time and attention to the organ- lation of the United Association of Christian Endeavor and meeting the various problems in connection with his new task. In the pursuit of his duties -Bfv-Gterk has been around .the world four times and has, of course, visited every part of America. The founding of the Y, P. S. C. E. as a matter of history wag a notable event, but Dr. Clark's ability has been shown- not so* much in. the first event as in administer- -ing-and organizing the greatr body—of which he is the V head. Hundreds of other schemes for the right promotion of young people's religious work have been undertaken. Many of them were fundamentally good, but the organiza- tion failed to take advantage of his opportunity. Dr. Clark tfill be heard at Chautauqua, New York, July 12, 13. 14, and 16 on his way back from the Christian Endeavor Convention which will be held in the West this year. the Saratoga salvation scheme does not fall under this classification since it is neither a casual deficit nor the result of a failure in revenue and is definitely ^provided for by the bond issue specified in its text N^or can -it be classed ambng debts incurred to repel invasions or defend the State in case of war for within the meaning.of the Constitution at least the State is still in a condition 4 of peace. Nece$sarily then the Saratoga propo- sition falls under that section of the article in the Constitution which deals with the limitations of legislative power to create debts\ (Article VII. section 4). This article reads: ...-< \Except the debts specified in section 2 and 3 of this article {above cited) no debts shall hereaffr»T be contracted by ROOSEVELT VISITS MISSION. ExPrwidontUTM Nairobi and Reach** American Station at Kuabe. ( Nairobi. British East Africa, June's. —Theodore Roosepelt and all the mem- bers of hiB party left Nairobi on a special train at 1 -.l&.this afternoon for Kijabe, where he will visit the Ameri- can mission and spend Jhe \Slight in camp. 'I ' , - ' ' Escarpment, British East Africa, June 3.—The special train with the Roosevelt party on board arrived from Nairobi about half past four o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Roosevelt and Maj. Me*arnB road on the cow catcher df the locomotive from Kikuyu to Escarpment, a distance of 22 miles. On the way a hyena that got on the railB was almost rundown. —T-he~ Roosevelt special arrived at Kijabe at ten minutes past five o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Roosevelt was. de- lighted with the beauty of the scenery, especially the Rift valley, on the way up from Nairobi. 'All the portere of the expedition who had preceded Mr. Roosevelt to Kijabe were lined up on the station'platform and cheered Mr. Roosevelt when the train pulled in. The Amercian misisonaries also were the plant* at present in existence and deliver those messages to any station within its radius with the same degree of certainty that the old system of wires deliver its yellow slips in Chicago or New York. The whole thing is being brought about through the Navy Department because of its desire to reach its ships at sea. Some months ago the depart- ment advertised for the machinery for a station that would be on a scale that compared with the best stations of the present. The machinery must be -guar- anteed to deliver to all instruments keyed to receive it within a radius of 3,000 miles. To-day wireless can be depended on to reach no further than 1,000 miles and the deliveries are uncer- tain. The government was willing to pay for the big plant if it could get the desired results. There were a number of firms that bid to furnish the machinery and agreed to forfeit $100,000 if it failed to produce these results. The contract was awarded to a Pitsburg firm and the machinery has already* been built. Then the government found it necessary to build a tower that ia in proportion to the machinery. In the light of the recent developments of the efficiency of concrete it was decided to make the tower of that material. The dimensions called for a height of 600 feet with a base of 50 feet diameter, - tapering to eight feet at the top. Th\s is the struc- ture for the construction of which the bids are this week to be asked. The station is to be located in Rock Creek park in the District of Columbia. It will be the tallest structure in America outside of New York, there being only two buildings in that city that are taller and only the Eiffel Tower ii Paris that surpasses it, and this is merely a skeleton structure. It will tower 45 feet above the Washington^ Monument and wrest from that struc- ture the distinction it has so long en- joyed. From this station the Navy Depart- ment expects to be, able to reach its ships at any point in/the North Atlantic Ocean without the necessity of a relay. It can reach Gibraltar and .San Fran- 'sco. Thoexpense of the installation will be a bo at $300,000. HEAVY ORDERS FOR STEEL. —We do not have enough music in the home.

Further than this the Governor in his public statement onj the Saratoga measure from , which we have .quoted has indicated that those eminent com- missioners \may select ana acquire property\ and neither mentions nor hints at any preliminary appeal to the people on the matter. Nevertheless in our humble judgment the attempt of the commissioners* to draw funds from the State treasury and the effort toissue and they invited him to dinner. It was decided, however, not to accept this in- vitation for to-night. The members of the party will visit the mission to-raorr row and have luncheon there. The travelers will spend the night unde^ canvas in a camp that has been estab- lished near the railroad station.

The most notable activity has been in wire products, contracts for which have aggregated 3,370,000 tons, a record never before equaled. During the last week contracts booked by the American Steel & Wire Com- pany have averaged 10,000 tons per day. Additional heavy contracts have been placed calling for an aggregate of 40,- 000 tons of fabricated steel, bringing the May orders booked to 225,000 tons, the heaviest month this year, and only equalled once in the history of the in- dustry.

His shop was located on the corner of the street across from Miller & Duff's store. He was a man of considerable native ability, but very little school education. He picked up some knowledge of law, and was a pettifoger in justice courts. Squire Wadsworth was too modest to call him down and he was apt to bulldoze and use rough language. But when he went before Squire Charles Fairchild, of Highmarket,or Squire Knox,of Low- ville, he learned to be gentlemanly in manner. Although illiterate he became pretty well posted in ordinary cases that usually come before a justice court, and was quite a successful pleader. He branched~out into politics, and was a noisy Locofoco. Daniel S. Bailey, edi- tor of the Republican at Martinsburg, published some views that Dexter took decided exceptions to. He wrote Bailey a pretty sharp and rough letter, ignor- ing punctuation and capitals. Bailey published it with all its bad spelling, and other defects. ' His home people guyed him badly over his literary effort Bailey drove into town, and Dexter Went for him rough. Bailey told him he 1 ought not to complain as he gave his side a hearing. He published his letter, verbatim, et litter a tern, etpuncitatem.

At one time, Miller lost much money from the bar drawer. Weeks of watching failed to spot the thief.' Finally a mouse was sighted in the drawer. Investigation disclosed that the paper money had been used by the mice to construct their nests. The town custom made hotel keeping profitable, when whiskey by the barrell could \be purchased for a York shilling of twelve and one-naif cents. William R. Wadaworth, a wagon maker by trade, did the local business for the surrounding country. He was also the land'surveyor, town clerk, and justice of the peace. He held these offices—most of the time—until he died of ripe old age. He also supplemented his other trades by occasional house painting. He was an honest man, a fine penman with the goose quill and wrote moat of the legal papers, mort- gages and deeds. He was a very useful man and served the people during hie long life faithfully and well.

His later competitor was Geo*ge W. Dean, who did not stick very close to his gcx>9e. He complained of dull times and.little business. Felshaw, the gun- smith advised him to visit the^shoe- maker and get a cake of black wax, put it on his bench, warm it with bis goose, get up on the bench and sit on it, so his customers could find him at home.

His desire was from the point of view of his con- stituency as commendable as his political necessity was acute. The Gov- ernor on his part for reasons we dojnot fathom was quite willing to humor his friend, the president of the Hughes State League,, to this extent if the cost could be kept out of the budget and the responsibility for allowing such an .unnecessary item in the face of a large deficit actually avoided. In chang- ing the bill from an appropriation to a bond (ssue, however, our judgment is that these,e»inent constitutional law- yers overlooked the constitutional regu- lations regarding bond issues. \Tfbur conjecture is correct, the result is plainly unfortunate for both,- for the Governor must assume the responsi- bility for a wanton extravagance and the most eminent of Saratogans will be forced to make a difficult explanation to a somewhat censorious constituency.

Qrtaibj, of Chicago, Formerly of Lewi* County. A great hue and cry is going up in New York and Pennsylvania about the foot^and mouth disease that seems tA baffle the arts of the veterinary profes- sion. _, This disease has been running about three or four years and is a per- fectly natural elimination of certain elements that Bome particular cattle, that is, cattle born into the world at certain times of the year, possess in greater quantity than do others. For about four years the planet Sat- urn has been operating in the feet and latterly in the head sign and the vibra- tions have been such as to rot the feet of all animals born in co-ordination with this planetary condition. We stated four years ago that the fish would be badly afflicted for three years and the results have verified the predic- tion. Fish have been rotten. That is: a great portion of the fish in all waters have been poor to rotyen. This' same vibration affects the feet of cattle and yet it is not of such importance in the way of an affliction as the so-called ex- perts try to make out. It will all pass away, in about one year more, and then they will say they stamped it out by, slaughtering everything having, the least taint of it \*\ In about twenty-seven years this same disaese will afflict cattle again and the imarties of that time will turn to the records .now being made and speculate over again as to the cause and origin of this simple effort of nature to eliminate fever frQni the system of the bovine. Did it ever occur to a farmer that com fodder, the preserves of. the \silo\ may have intensified this rotten hoof business? Like trichina in the lean of the ham. it is increased by, feeding too much corn which fires up the blood and causes the destruction of tissue in the weaker aections of animals born under the viV^iUjonB of Saturn. Runny^ isn't it? The doctor has now j got a lire on the cow, and when the juipe of the cow is transferred to the hUma* economy it makes Catarrh ^whether from a hot hoof or cold heeled milcher, and this calls for the doctor to get it out, eliminate it from the sys- tem, and it is b,lown in all directions, lodged in yard and field to be picked up by fowl and boy in e and worked over agair^into milk and taken into the human body to again be blown off as catarrh, etc., etc., and the Doctor \maka da mun.\ Verily the usefulness of the doctor is growing. Moral. When people learn the clean way, the true way, the healthful way to live, eat and enjoy life, the cow will be used for leather and soap and fertilizer, not for food. > < The Coat and Price of Tea. The battle over. the question of whether tea shall pay a duty or be free of any tariff tax is particularly interest- ing although it is now conceeded that there will be no duty on tea. An ex- char.se Wives some interesting facts about the tea business. It is popular, of;course,-i^ talk about an tmtaxed tea table, and that,being a necessity rather than a luxury\tea ought to be free. It is argued, too, that if taxed the duty would surely have to be paid by the consumers, and the claim is made that in that case the price would go up at least ten cents ^ -poundr Butthe~ tea importers, who are experts, insist that the consumer would not suffer in the least from a duty—claiming that at least one-half of the duty, wqiild be paid by the exporting country, and the re- mainder would be. deducted from the profits of the jobbers and wholesalers. Tbese importers' charge that by the time tea gets to the consumer it has paid somebody in this country from 250 to 350 per cent, profit. They represent that the average cost of tea laid cVjwn in New York is about 15 cents per pound, while the average price afwhicn it is retailed is 60 cents. Tables' are published showing that tea the first cost of--Which in New'_Tork isjll to_16 cents per pound retails for from 50 to 60 cents and that which costs 17 to 19 cents retails for 80 cents, and that these figures represent actual transactions during the month of April. To prove the/contention that the duty would be borntf between the foreign ex- porter and th£ retailer, not by the con- sumer, it is pointed out that public cir- culars ~ issued by American export ouses in Japan show that. In 1903, im- mediately after the repeal of the 10 cent SpanteVAmerican war tax on tea, the per plcul price of Japan tea ad- vanced 10 to 12 yen, equivalent to six cents gold per pound. A heavier indictment brought by the opponents of the no duty regeime is that''the curSe Of the United States tea trtfde has been poor tea at high re- tail prices, 1 : and that this deterioration in quality has resulted Tn a tremendous falling, off in the per* capita consump- tion of tea in the United, States, both relatively to former years, and to the principal countries of Europe. They point also to the fact that Eng- land collects a revenue from tea vary- ing from 10 cents to 12 cents per pound, and that, notwithstanding this, excel- lent teas are retailed there at a much lower prices than in the United States, and that, furthermore, English con- sumption of tea ia six times the con- sumption of the United States. Russia levies a duty of more than 40 cents a pound on tea, and Russia, gels the best tea in the world. • Only the good tea would be shipped with such a duty, and so these firms contend the consumer would get the benefit Where no duty is levied the lowest grades naturally have<the easiest entrance and market. If these were sold at low prices, or prices with a reasonable profit, the consumer would get the bene- fit. - If these were sold at low prices, or prices with a reasonable profit, thexconsumption might not be affected, but an advance of 200 per cent to 400 per cent \over the import cost is, in conjunction with inferior quality, at once reflected 1n the con- sumption. - Syracuse UniTorslty Recrirea $375,000. Syracuse, June 9.—At the meeting of the trustees of Syracuse Univeroity to-day, Chancellor James R. Day an- BEAUTIFUL GIRL DEAD. Sudden of Coroner /Drury Investigating / Doalh of Uila K^amiliOD, Da Gross*. • Coroner Drury, of Gouverneur, is in- vestigating the death of beautiful Leila Hamilton, the 16-year-old daughter Jo f Mr. and Mrs, John Hamilton, of the hamlet De Grease. Under very mys- terious circumstances she died at 8:30 Thursday night after less than t two hours' illness. A post mortem exami- ntaion has been held and poison found in her stomach. The case will be given to the grand Jury at Canton to-morrow. It is said that she was partial to a young man- whose, name has not yet been revealed, and he may know the real cause of the girl's death. Coroner Drury ia reticent in talking about the caae until the grand jurV has investiga- ted it. Up to last Thursday night, Leila Hamilton had not had a day of illness in months She was ever sprightly and cheerful On the: day of her death she seemed in no way-de- spondent and there appeared to be no clouds in the horiton to mar her happi- ness After partaking of her evening meal that night she went to the kitchen to aid her mother in washing the disheB While doing so she was taken painfully ill and immediately went in- to spasms She steadily grew worse \and Dr Teeple, of Russell, was sum- moned. Before he arrived the girl was dead. He immediately informed Coro- ner Drury, who in turn notified Assist- ant District Attorney James C Dolan Whether the facto when finally sifted will create the crime of murder, man- slaughter or suicide remains to be re- vealed. The autopsy revealed that the girl was pregnant and that considerable arsenic was in her st6mach. The stom- ach and kidneys were sent to St, Law- rence University at Canton for analysis, and it ia expected that the report will be presented to the grand jurv to-mor- row. The Hamilton family are^highly respected farmers. \ The authorities are working on\the theory that after the girl's condition was noticed that one of her suitors be- came tired of her and gave her /'the . arsenic pills, at the same time teHwg her that thjey would relieve her of her trouble and then be would be rid of the •girl. This suitor IB under constant sur- veillance and his every, move is made under the watchful eye of the authori- ties. The district-attorney's office claims that the poison wasBelf-admini- Btered, but that she did not buy the poison. The person buying the poison ia known, and the district-attorney ex- pects to be able to prove the purpose for which it was purchased. '•>>-- - NORTHERN NEW YORK PEAT.
