R Garfield, For- ■ * .’ y \ . . . dr mer Secretary of tha Interior, Who Avows Himself a Member of That Wing of the Republican Par- ty, Which He Praises Highly. ... James R.

Channel flying was'at a discount In England because It - was considered an old story and because national pride had suffered from the monopoly of It by Frenchmen, when Rolls alec- trlled tha entire kingdom by doub ling the eoeompllahmenta of hla predecessors. The distance between Dover and Calais la 21 milea and when Rolla did the round trip of 42- miles In fiO minutes without stopping hla performance was mar- vetoua both for distance and time '' In hla vouth Rolla waa one of the pioneers In motoring in England. He drove a motor car about while the ordinance was still In force that every self propelled vehicle on the public roads must be proceeded by a man carrying a red flag to warn pedestrians. In 1900 he won the gold medal In the thousand miles automobile race. He was the rep- resenrattve of Great Britain in the Gordan Bennett race In 1906 ad sev eral times made world’s records for apeed. As a balloonist Rolls had more than 160 ascensions and had crossed the channel several times In balloons the wreck on July 4 at Middleton was admitted at the coroner’s In quest at Hamilton. Ohio Monday by Albert J. Smith, train dispatcher of the Cinctnnattl. Hamilton, and Day- ton railway. After trainmen and operators had told Coroner Burnett of the orders they had received that day. and that official had declared hla belief that 'Smith waa to blame for the twenty-one deaths, the lat ter took the aland. “We were rushed with trains that day," he said. “V sent the Big Four passenger train on froin Day- ton to Cincinnattl. Then after they atartad I figured I could save time In getting the freight to Dayton, so I tried to send an order to Carlisle to have the Big Four stop at Poast Town and let the freight pass. “When I reached Carlisle by wire I learned that the passenger train had passed there going ilke wildfire Then, to prevent trouble. I sent word to Middletown to “bust" the order allowing the freight to pro ceed to Dayton. “If the freight had been on the siding at Middletown when they re ceived this order the wreck would not have occurred. —a »♦..

Rockefeller, In speaking before the Euclid Avenue Baptist churh at Cleveland declared on Sunday that the time had come for 7 a universal religion. Mr. , Rocke feller read an article from tbe Ou*> ddfclilobseveK la associate editor, which pleaded for a fusion of the Christian churches. * f Blackened and charred, her decks warped by a six day’s fire, which raged beneath them, the British tramp steamer St. Nicholas of Liver pool sailed through the Golden Gate from which port she sailed May 3 with a general cargo of 6,000 tons Puget Sound ports When 1,300 miles off the South American coast her commander, Capt. George Aitken. June 23. dis covered smoke pouring down from the ventilator*, and when a hatch was opened it was discovered that the cargo in the shelter deck was a seething mass of fire. Chief Ofti cer Dickson, Second Officer Mar riott and Third Officer Chavner vol unteered to go below with the hose passed along by the crew. With their mouths and nostrils covered by cloth the volunteers were alternately lowered. All that day and the following night Hie fight to save the ship continued. Early on the morning of June 24 the fire in the abetter deck was seemingly - stamped-out. At nine c'clock in the morning fire was reported In lower .hold No. 2. Two hundred tons of their* merchandise were overboard thrown before the fire could be reached. Then the steam pipes were run below and after five days of fighting 'he flames were finally subdued.

The en- glne turned completely over sad derailed. the platform upon which tbe insur gent element of tbe Republican par ty will enter the fall campaign in Ohio. Mr. Garfield announced bis ac ceptance of the appellation of ‘in surgent.’’ Mr. Garfield declared that the nation atood today in a critical situation ho that confronting the country was the problem wheth er the fight of the progressive was to be carried to a successful lalue or whether they were to surrender and admit-that government for and by the people was a failure. He said in part: Like the prodigal youth, we as a nation, have wasted our resources, sold our Inheritance, acquired evil habits,' but', fortunately, we have re alized the need of radical changes in time to save ourselves' “At the coming election we are to choose between two great national parties. The Democratic party, while declaiming against special interest .has, when in power allied itself with special interests. Many of its leaders have been and are tbe recognized representatives of special interests. In our state the Democratic govern or failed to be on the people's side In the fight for phblic utilities and the Democratic senators defeated that measure. In the recent Dem ocratic convention the ’prOgfesslve’ Democrats were ignored. I can see no hope for better things from De mocracy as now conducted. "How is It with the Republican party? It likewise has among its leaders some who are allied with, or represent special Interest; but, on the other hand it bas progressive, aggressive leaders who are the peo ples representatives. “The country t>wes a debt of gratitude to the insurgents in Con gress who made the fight against tbe domination of special interest and who placed the common good high above party Regulation. ‘“The real friends of conservation relied upon insurgents and their progressive allies for the protection of the public domain against the as saults of special Interests. Insurgent senators prevented the passage of the Alaska bill which In its original form, might have giv en over the untold wealth of Alaska to a favored few. Dealing In a general way with the Rational problems and continued his eulogy of the insurgents. Mr. Garfield took up special st^te prob lem*. The recall, regulation of cor porations. wokmen compensation act. the strengthening of child la bor laws and the development of canal system were the principal planks in the platform which he put forward In regard to the recall, Mr. Gar field said: “There is one method of dealing with public service which demands our most earnest consideration, namely, the recall. I believe it to be the most direct, most efficient way which people hav^ of dealing with the unfaithful servant. It is said that the recall makes cowaVd of public men. I ask whether it is any more injurious to the public welfare to have an officer afraid* of thel people than to have a public offi cer the servant of a special Inter est/' Mr. Garfield concluded his gen eral defense of the Republican par ty with a warning against the reac tionary. "The real danger to the party," he said, "comes from the reaction ary who is controlled by special in cause It la the easiest way, is willing to return to the weak policy of Lalaeez Faire. To follow such leaders means disaster. Charges Against Mayor. Enbouraged by the removal of Mayor Atherton, of Newark, by Gov ernor Harmon Monday, the CiVlc League of Zanesville announced through its officers that it will de mand similar action Immediately In the case of Dr. A. -N. Gorrel, mayor of that place.

Trade of the United States with the fiscal year Just ended aggregat ed about $190,000 000, according to statistics of the Department of Cora merce and Labor. The department contrasts this with the record of 1897, when the trade with non-con- tiguous territories aggregated only $35,000,00. Statistics show that for eleven months of the last fiscal year the shipments from the United States to Porto Rico. Hawaii, the Phillip- pines, Guam, Midway, Tutuila, and Alaska, amounted to $75,000,000, and the shipments therefrom to the trade, both exports and Imports, was larger than that o{ the proceeding year. The largest percentage of gain was in the Phillippines, to which the recent tariff act extended the privilege of interchange of mer chandise free of duty. Imports from the Phillippines In the eleven months ending with May 1910 were valued at $15,887,418, against $8,860,429 in the same time of 1909.
