HILLES DOBS T.R.
SAINT OF TRUST
Taft’s Secretary Cites Record
Attacking the Colonel in
Harvester Scandal.
WASHINGTON. May 18.—That for
mer President Roosevelt compelled his
attorney general to drop the prosecu
tion of the International Harvester
Company In the fall of 1909, eighteen
months prior to the colonel's retirement
from office, is the statement of Charles
D. Hilles, secretary to President Taft,
who turned up unexpectedly in Wash
ington last night. Mr. Hilles, after giv
; ing out the statement at the white
house, hurried back to join the presi
dent’s party in Ohio today.
"I have come to Washington to get
United States Attorney Townsend’s
statement in reference to the Harvester
trust. ' says the statement. Townsend
was in 1997 one of the.attorneys In the
department of Justice and had made an
investigation of charges against the In
ternational Harvester Company.
Began Inquiry In 1906.
"Mr. Townsend began his inquiry in
the spring of 1909. On February 21,
1997.
"In his written statement Townsend
says that in the spring of 1998 he was
abruptly ordered to the Pacific coast
(the organizer of the harvester trust),
called upo.i Mr. Bonaparte in company
with Herbert Knox Smith and. I think.
Cyrus H. McCormick. They requested
Mr. Bonaparte to acconmany them on a
visit to President Roosevelt for the
purpose of persuading the president to
refrain from prosecuting the harvester
trust. Mr. Bonaparte refused to do so
upon the ground that the written
statement filed by the harvester trust
rxas in effect a confession of a viola
tion of the law and, therefore, he (Mr.
BonapaxteJ would not stultify himself
by temporizing with the subject in any
manner.
Roosevelt Orders Suppression.
"Thereafter Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Smith (and, I think. Mr. McCormick)
interviewed President Roosevelt and
succeeded in persuading him not to
prosecute the harvester trust and short
ly thereafter President Roosevelt In
structed Attorney General Bonaparte
not to take action.
"These papers show that the har
vester trust was about to he prosecuted
for rebating, but promised to do better,
which promise was satisfactory to the
attorney general Other trusts, proba
bly not. of the benevolent variety, wore
fined for rebating and ha>' to settle in
the courts.’’

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Not a great many people recall how
things looked around and about the
then capitol of Georgia In reconstruc
tion days—and maybe they didn’t look
as badly in this state as they did in
South Carolina, anyway—but Friday's
smoky appearance of things in the hall
of the house of representatives must
have seemed something like the old
thing, nevertheless.
There were gathered in that hall of
state legislation some 125 "insurgent"
Roosevelt delegates to a "rump" state
Republican convention, and more than
100 of them were negroes.
Among the negro delegates present
were some rattling good speakers, too.
One portly Rev. Somebody of deepest
midnight hue fairly- made the welkin
ring for a ten minutes round early in
the proceedings; and the tumultuous
applause which greeted his every sally,
particularly when directed against the
militant Democracy or the standpat Re
publicans, was worth going several city
blocks to hear.
The way this delegate rolled The-o
--dor-r-r-r-e Rr-r-r-00-se-velt under his
tongue and out over, the heads of his
audience was impressive in the extreme
-and it never failed to start the noise.
There wasn't much foolishness about
that convention, either. It was all for
Roosevelt, and nobody else ever had a
look-in. According to several orators,
the colonel is the greatest, grandest,
fairest, squares!, bravest, strongest, no
blest—well, every' ling < xcepi the pret
tiest—president tills tmmlry ever has
had. m- possibly may hup,- I i have!
It is worthy of note in passing, per
haps. that this convention was com
posed exclusively of non-officeholders,
among whom were several well known
"exes."
Politics also unmakes strange bed
fellows now and. then—particularly
Georgia politics.
The Democrats doubtless would
enjoy the scrap between the colo
nel and the president, if only they
might find a little enjoying time be
tween scraps in their own house
hold.
Former Representative and Senator
Roland Ellis, of Bibb, Is an Atlanta vis
itor.
Mr. Ellis Is serving a brief term as
solicitor of the city court of Macon, but I
is devoting as much of his time as lie |
can to the prosecution of his race for I
solicitor of the superior court of the |
Macon circuit.
The race between-Mr. Ell,is and
Judge John P. Ross for I his office is
one that is attracting great attention
throughout the state. Both are widely
known and have figured conspicuously
in state politics
When Mr. Ellis first announced his
ambition for the soycitorshlp it looked
as if he was to be elected without op- !
position, particularly as Judge Ross had !
previously announced in Mr. Ellis’ fa - i
vor. in some way. however, these two
erstwhile political cronies drifted apart,
and now are opposing candidates.
Judge Ross has served as city court
magistrate in Macon, ami has a record
upon which he is depending confidently
in his present race. Roland Ellis Is
generally acknowledged to be one of
Georgia's most brilliant attorneys.
The secret words of admission
into Friday's "Insurgent" Republi
can convention in Atlanta surely
must have been. "Keep it dark!"

Watson is a difficult question to

He has been remarkably successful
in his business career, however, and it
is more than likely that his election
from Bartow will be uncontested.
Eugene V. Debs is to run for
president again. Running for pres
ident seems to be Mr. Debs' pet
habit.
The president admits that Ohio
is to be “the turning point" tn the
race, for the Republican nomina
tion. It is going to be t|ie jumping
off place for somebody, apparently.
Former State Senator J. L. Weaver,
of Gilmer county , in the Forty-first sen
atorial district, who was temporary
chairman of the "insurgent" Republi
can convention in At,unta Friday, had
the distinction of representing in the
senate of 1906-08 the one lone senato
rial district in Georgia that ever returns
a Republican to the general assembly.
This district is composed of the
mountainous counties in northeast
Georgia; and the inhabitants thereof
are. and have been for many years,
largely affiliated with the G. O. P.
Every now and then—about once in
eight ygars —the Democrats muster suf
ficient strength to put their Republican
enemies down and out in the old For
ty-first. but they have to dig around in
the byways and hedges for votes when
they do win out even then.
The Republicans of Gilmer and Fan
nin and Pickens look upon their party
faitlt as something in the nature of a
religion, and it is a hard matter to get
by with a Democrat up there.
Tit® present senator from the Forty
first, J. R. Kincaide, is one of the infre
quent Democratic visitors thal doughty
political division of Georgia sends to
the capitol in Atlanta now and then.
No man in the Republican ranks in
Georgia has fought more persistently
and courageously under the Roosevelt
banner than J. St. Julian Yates, of De-
Kalb county. He has worked in season
and out. and against tremendous odds,
for the Rough Rider, and he ardently
hopes to see the colonel elected presi
dent next fall.
Mr. Yates could have been, for the
mere acceptance of the honor, one of
the contesting delegates-at-large
named in Friday’s state convention—-
and he would gladly have accepted, too,
were it not for a physical infirmity
which he himself thought disqualified
him. He is blind.

HOBBLE SKIRTS
l
Lack of Exercise Also Makes
the Deformity Predominate
Among Women.
MUNICH, GERMANY, Max 18. Dr
Karl Francke. the famous physician, to
day declared that woman is quite as
much in need .of sartorial as of political
enfranchisement. He has been investi
gating the physical phenomenon, known
in Germany as “x legs. ” and in \meriea
as “knock-knees,” and he has collected
data and reached conclusions which pos
sibly may boos significance for other
countries as well as for his own
On the basis of a careful and compre
hensive research, he has discovered that
in the earliest years of childhood some 75
per cent of members of both sexes suffer
more or less from this deformity, while
the limbs of the males straighten out,
those of the females become more
crooked. Thus in the forty-eighth year
of life only 8 per cent of men. but no
fewer than 82 per cent of women, are the
unenvied possessors of ”x legs.
Blames Hobble Skirt.
Dr Franeke admits that the general
physical structure of the two sexes Is tn
some extent responsible for this dis
parity, but he ascribes to It quite a sec
ondary influence.
The decisive factors, in his opinion, are
exercise and dress
He found that women* who, from in
clination or necessity, do a good deal of
walking, as a rule, show no traces of
this peculiarity, while exactly in propor
tion as ther lead Inactive and indolent
lives their limbs take on an inward de
parture from the perpendicular. Indeed,
he goes so far as to contend that the
shape of the legs supplies an index of
character, and enables us to say wL< ih
er their owner is energetic
But even more conducive to knock
knees than unexercised muscles is. in his
belief, modern feminine attire. Hobble
and heavy skirts, he says, hamper the
gait, and force the raised knee inwards,
so that the shape of their wearers' limbs
must inevitably become contorted He
winds up his report in The Munich Medi
cal Weekjx with a prophesy that the
“time will come when it will he consid
ered a crime to wear close-fitting skirts,
and an imbecility to sit out one's days in
idle luxury.”

COLLEGE .STUDENTS’
HAVE SNAKE FEAST,
BUT REGRET IT NOW
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. May 18. The
zoology students of Antioch college en
joyed a "snake feast," hut now live in
mortal fear of the results.
Tile boys caught a large black snake
and skinned it. Instead of studying it.
they decided to have a "snake feast.’’
The reptile was soaked in salt water
and cooked. The hoys say it tasted bet
ter than white fish. Other students,
learning of the dinner, told the boys
they would become ill and might di® as
a result. They are fearful of the con
sequences.
Summer Fess, son of the president of
the college, was one of the snake party.
