Cincinnati, Ohio.—Brushing aside all lntermedj^t?L. processes and modes of action, the Receivers and Shippers’ Association of Cincinnati has carried its war against a general increase in railway freight rates directly to the president of the United States. In general effect, a communication forwarded to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and made public here asks the chief executive whether or not he intends to enforce a decree issued some years ago against certain rail roads. If so, he Ig asked to at once cause the attorney general to bring proceedings for contempt against the Missouri Pacific railway and the Chi cago, Rock Island and Pacific rail road.

Decision Wm a iScathins Arraignment of Lower, Court Judge, Who is Asked if He Believes He is Abo%e the Law. Chicago, 111.—The United States circuit court of appeals reversed the famous decision of Judge Kennesaw M. Landis, in which he' fined the Standard Oil company of Indiana $29,- 240,000. The case is remanded to he lower court for a new tfial. The decision of the court, compos ed of Judges Grosscup, Bakes and Seaman was a scathing arraignment of Judge Landis, In which It was ask ed If the court believed himself above the law in imposing a fine that would fall on the shoulders of the mother corporation, the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey—when the Indi ana corporation alone, under the law, could be held responsible. It seemed to be the irony of fate that Judge Grosscup should have writ ten the decision of the upper court He not only wrote the decision, but read it to the waiting throng, in the court room. Judge Grosscup and Judge likndis have not been the ibest of friends for some time as a result of' certain state ments made months ago by Judge Landis concerning federal judges who talk publicly on matters which might come under their judicial atention. When the three judges took their seats on the bencft the court room was crowded to the doors. John S. Miller, Rockefeller’s famous $50,000 lawyer, was present to represent the oil,tnist. He was accompanied by At torney Moritz Rosenthal and several other Standard Oil lawyers. District Attorney Edwin Sims appeared for the government. All that occurred in court was the reading of the very last paragraph of the decision. Judge Grosscup read it as follows: “The judgment of the district court is reversed and the case remanded with Instructions to grant a new trial and proceed further in accordance with this opinion.” That was all and court adjourned. New York City.—Standard Oil stock on the curb jumped- from 646 to 660 on the strength of the decision reversing the $29,240,000 fine. ROOSEVELT WANTS FIGHTING NAVY. The President Pleads for a Navy Cap able of Whipping the Enemy. Newport, R. I.—Pleading for popular support for a “first class fighting navy,” a navy capable of seeking out he enemy and “hammering him till he quits,” President Roosevelt was the central figure here in the most nota ble conference of American naval of ficers ever called to gether to consult and discuss, in a broad, general way, the future United States battleships. The president spoke publicly for more than half an hour, and then the conference went into executive ses sion for one hour. During this ses sion the president took a leading part in the discussion. He argued as a layman, he explained, and did not attempt to give advice to professional men. The conference included no less than ten rear admirals of the navy and a host of officers from the grade of captain and below. Army officers from Fort Adams and Fort Greble also were invited* to the conference. The officers applauded the president’s ag gressive navy address almost contin uously. Chairman Hitchcock now declares the fight for Taft electors will ;be ac tively waged in every state, and that not one “will be abandoned to the other party.” A Japanese boy whom Mr. and Mrs. Bryan raised and educated in now in Japan filling a position of trust.

MIMIC WARFARE Naval Mllltia Having Sport Off Hamp ton Roads. Washhington, D. C.—Theoretically rushing to the defense of Hampton Roads, the most important naval base on the Atlantic coast, the District of Columibia naval militia has left Wash ington for Alexandria, Va., there ship ping on the cruiser Yankee, which is laying to off that city. Under com mand of Commander Marsh of the navy, a fleet of eight vessels will de fend Hampton Roads and the navy yard at Norfolk against the.attacking torpedo craft, A majority of the ves sels of the defending forces will be manned by the reserves of Pennsyl vania, Maryland, New Jersey, North and South Carolina and the District of Columbia. The Yankee is a flag- -ship. Other vessels participating are the gunboat Isla De Cuba, the Sylvia, the Vixen and the Prairie. There will be half a dozen torpedo boats, two submarines and possibly several de stroyers. The program will include everything from regular ship routine and drill to theoretical battle. FDR CONTEMPT OF COURT Genders and MitcheU are Summoned to Appear in Washington. Washington, D. C. — In the Buck Stove and Range case. Justice Ander son of the district supreme court, summoned Samuel Gc«npers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor; Secretary Frank Morrison of that organization and John Mitchell of the executive council and former president of the United Mine Workers of America to appear in court on Sep tember 6th next, to show cause why they should not i>e punished for con tempt of the court’s injunction order. The citation la based on a petition of the Buck Stov6 stnd Range com pany of St. Louis, which alleges that an'Order issued by Justice. Gould for bidding an alleg^ boycott by the American Federation of Labor has been violated by the public utterances and addresses of t.he three labor lead ers named. It is also atated that Gompers caused to he published in The Federationist, the official organ, of the federation, a certain article re flecting on the court’s decision, and in alleged open defiance printing the name of the Buck Stove and Range company on the “we don’t patronize list.” Gompers Is quoted as saying to sev eral newspaper men: “So far as I am concerned, I wish to state this: When it comes to a choice between surren dering my rights as a free American citizen or violating the injunction of the court, I do not hesitate to say that I shall exercise my rights as between the two.” Other utterances are quoted which it is alleged Gompers and Morrison, in furtherance of an alleged plan to nullify the court’s orders, have pub lished editorially and which are oth erwise offensive to the court’s decis ion, including the name of the Buck company. The references, it is claim ed, were made for the purpose of keeping alive the idea of the boycott as it existed before the order of the court, and were so framed as to affect the sale of- the company’s products. John Mitchell, at a meeting of the United Mine Workers last January, put to a vote a resolution imposing a fine of $5 on any member of that or ganization who purchased a stove or range of that company’s make. The resolution also provides for the expuU Sion of a member in default of pay ment of the fin®. DISMISWOF Jtg. M. BROWN Governor Hoke Smith Gives His Rea sons in a Message to Legislature. Atlanta, Ga.—In a special message to the legislature Governor Hoke Smith gave his reason for dismissing Hoporable Joseph M. Brown from the Georgia railroad commission. After stating that during his cam paign speeches in 1908 he had an nounced his intention of removing Mr. Brown in event of his election. Governor Smith asserts that after the railroad commission had reduced pas* senger tariff in Georgia, Mr. Brown had. issued a pamphlet containing ar guments and statements adverse to the reduction of passenger fares as made -by the railroad commission, also arguments to show that the re duction was not beneficial to the masses of the people. “The pamphlet erfcouraged litiga tion by the railroad companies against the railroad commission and caused lack of harmony in the com mission,” the message further states, “and on August 20, 1907, I received a communication from Mr: Brown en closing a ‘card’ sealed in a separate envelope and a note stating that en closed in the envelope was a card which he had refrained from publish ing. I was unwilling for Mr. Brown in this way to force upon my atten tion offensive matter which he had refrained from publishing, and, there fore, on August 21, 1907, I suspended him and returned the smaller envel ope to him seal unbroken.” FOR PEACE MONUMENT I LATE NEWS NOTES.

The case of Miss Wheeler is an ex ception in the mission field, as she will apply her own private income to her mission work and will pay all her own expenses during .the five years she expects to remain in China. German Vessel Anibus Will Be Total Loss, San Francisco, Cal.—A telegram received from the lighthouse keeper at Point Conception, thirty miles from Santa Barbara, states that the Ger man steamer, Anibus, of the Kosmos line, went ashore on San Miguel is land and the chances are that the steamer and cargo will be a total loss. The cargo Is valued at $110,000 and the vessel at about an equal amount. The Anibus had on board seventy- seven persons, nineteen of whom were passengers.

The proposition was given enthusiastic ap> proval by the members. At the close of the meeting one of the leaders in the movement said: '“A southern ex position and some sort of memorial or monument indicating Cincinnati’s affection for the south i& assured.” A formal report was presented in support of the idea giving various rea sons why such a celebration should be held in Cincinnati. While sum ming up the pro^)able character of the celebration, the report said: “As to cl^aracter, scope and plans, these are matters for future consid eration. It may take the form of an exhibit of waterways, devices and methods. It' is suggested that there be erected a monument commemora tive of peAce,'the money to be raised by popular subscription. This monu ment is to occupy the center of a small park or public square in Cincin nati. The unveiling of this monu ment would take place at the open ing of the celebration during the month of May, 1915, the fiftieth an niversary of the restoration of -peace. Unlike expositions of the past, each state representing the new south would have its own building in which its resources, things of human inter est and particular forms of amuse ment and entertainment would tbe found. 1^0 state would be restricted as to the magnitude of its exhibit.” BISHOP POTTER IS DEAD. GeneraL Noted Prelate of New York Passes Away After Long Illness. Cobpefstown, N. Y. — Henry Cod- man Potter, seventh Protestant Epis- coi^al bishop of the diocese of New York, died at “Fernleigh,” his sum mer home, near here, after an illness of several weeks. Death was due primarily to - embol ism in the right leg, following a long attack of li,ver and stomach trouble, and the end had been fore seen for some time by the bishop’s physicians. Bishop Potter suffered a severe relapse, and though oxygen was given him him decline was grad ual and he sank into unconsciousness which lasted until the end. Henry Codman Potter was 74 years old and a native of Schenectady, N. Y. He had been at the head of the New York diocese since 1877, succeed ing his uncle, Henry Horace Potter.

This is true also in regard to the coffee houses in Eu rope. In two days there have been only a few more than 20,000 bags of coffee sold on the New York coffee ex change. A year ago the daily sales were about 80,000 bags. This condition has been brought about by the government of Brazil. In 1906 there was au enormous crop of coffee. To have marketed the whole of the product would have sent prices tumbling and Brazilian planters ’^ould have been ruined. The coffee had to be disposed of, and so the gov ernment borrowed money, making the coffee export duty on it security. This coffee now owned by the gov ernment amounts to about 8,000,000 bags. The government against this has borrowed $45,000,000. W’ith this enormous holding the government controls the market. As prices have fluctuated so little, trans actions on the exchange have been made unprofitable. Joe M. Cribb, 50 years old, commit ted suicide at hfs home near Way- cross, Ga. Every preparation for the act was made with minuteness, the man even sending his 15-year-old son to neighbors to get some one to sit Up during the night with his body. That all the steel mills throughout the country controlled by the steel trust, which since last Octotoer have been operating only 55 per cent ot their capacity, will be put into full blast in the immediate future, was the' keynote of a speech made by President Wm.

Citizens of Natalbany, La., are very much excited over the killing of a boy in tfiat town by two Italians and have ordered all It^ians in the to^n to iea»ve. A perjury plot against Frank J. Gould, the multi-millionaire of New York City, has been discovered. Gould’s wife is suln^ for a divorce- and sensational evidence which was given regarding Mr, Gould’s conduct has been discovered to be false and an organized gang of blackmailers have been arrested. A bomib was exploded in a tent ia which Governor Deneen of Illinois was addressing a political meeting at Chicago. No damage resulted from the explos-ion and it is thought the perpetrators intended to take ad* vantage of the excitement to rob peo* pie in the audience. Policemen made a number of arrests, but later all the suspects were released. The record breaking ships Maure* tania and Lusitania will be laid up until next January in dry docks. The company which owns them having decided that the winter travel toe* tween New York and Liverpool would not warrant keeping these expensive vessels in service.

A federal jury has decided that the telegraph operator who changed the wording of a telegram from Congress man Fassett to State Senator Cassidy and temporarily saved racing in New York committed no crime. All of the five balloons which start ed from St. Paul in an effort to sur pass the world’s distance and endur ance record have landed, the Chica- 'go, owned by C. A.

Theatrical managers, whose houses had been closed, swore to the complaints in re taliation. The city council has de^ dared ice cream^ cigars and soda wa ter sales before 9 o’clock on Sundays are not a labor law violation. The general opinion of leaders in the financial world seems to be that the decision in the Standard Oil case would result in a reaction to 'business. Mrs. Isabella Salem of Buffalo, N. Y., killed her three small children and then attempted to kill herself. She poisoned the children first with Paris green and then straiigled them with handkerchiefs.
