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.’’ BONDSMEN.

Treadaway. a former well known real estate agent of this city, who has skipped his bond of si.ooo and left his bondsmen in the lurch. Treadaway was arrested a few weeks ago on a charge of larceny-after trust, and while awaiting a preliminary hear ing, was committed to Muscogee county jail on failure to make bis bond. After being in jail a few days, friends signed his bond. Soon after gaining his lib erty. he disappeared. Now his bonds men have appealed to Chief of Police Moore, of Columbus, and Sheriff Beard of Muscogee county, to help them lo cate him. MASSEE LETS CONTRACTS FOR RIVAL POWER PLANT MACON. GA .

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!" "What they will do with Tom Watson is a difficult question to answer,” avers The Dalton Citi zen. Still, it doesn’t seem to be ; puzzling Thomas E. particularly.

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. KaA .jy y- "I A,® « J r* Ir JfflT Y : SINALCO _JX s - 7 The Best Drink Y° u Can Be Served _ j | It ’ s the most delicious beverage that purr — the purest soft drink sold.

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 Seniors Sew Day and Night Making Robes for Graduation MACON.
