Addresses were made by Sena tor Dick, Governor Herrick and others Over 10,000 people participated in the celebration. Washington special: Former Secre­ tary of War Elihu Root has consented to give up the most profitable law practice in the country and return to the cabinet as secretary of state. The extent of the practice Mr. Root has built up in a comparatively short time has exceeded his greatest expec­ tations, and he believes he now is making more money than any other lawyer' in the country on straight practice, excluding occasional enor­ mous contigent fees from great trans­ actions, such as William Nelson Crom­ well received for putting through the sale of the Panama canal. A prominent Ne^w York lawyer told a friend here that Mr. Root is making lit least $2,000 a day. When Mayor Weaver Of Philadelphia called Mr. Root into consultation, Mr. Root re­ plied that his practice amounted to $150,000 a year, but that if he wanted to employ him with that intimation as to his charges, he "guessed he could come over." Mr. Root retired to private life in February, 1904,, because he felt that he could not, in justice te his family, afford to remain longer in the cabinet. Mrs. Root also was opposed to living in Washington, and spent very little time there. Just about the time Mr. Root retired his wife inherited $3,- 000,000 through the death of her fa* ther, Simon H. Wales. This removed one of Mr. Root's objections to return­ ing to public life. Sketch of Elihu Root. Elihu Root was born in Clinton, Oneida county, N. Y., on Feb. 15, 1845. He was the son of Dr. Oren Root, professor of mathematics at Hamilton college, from which he graduated as valedictorian of his class in 1864. Young Root, after leaving college, taught for a year at an academy in Rome, N. Y.; then deciding to study law, he entered the University of New York, completing his legal education under John Norton Pomeroy. He was admitted to the bar in 1867, soon ac­ quiring a reputation as one of the shrewdest young corporation lawyers in New York city. His first important case was the suit of The People against Ingersoll, in which he upset Charles O'Connor's theory that the state, and not the coun­ try was the proper party to sue for money alleged to have been taken from the country, and never since then has Elihu Root wanted for clients.. He was a candidate for judge of the court of common pleaS^in 1879, but was de­ feated. 'm- Comes to Front in Politics. ' He was appointed United States dis­ trict attorney for the Southern district of New York for a term extending from March, 1883, to July, 1885. He was made a trustee of Hamilton col­ lege in 1883. He became chairman of the New York county Republican committee, and for a number of years was executive taember from the Twen­ ty-First Assembly district, and was a prominent member of the state con­ stitutional convention. From now on he was recognized as a political power, and more than once he was talked of as a mayoralty or gubernatorial candidate, and was oft­ en mentioned for one judicial office or another. But his experience in 1879, when he was defeated in the campaign for judge of the court of common pleas made him fear a similar experience and he persistently has refused judi­ cial nominations. A year ago President Roosevelt used all of his influence to persuade him to accept the nomination for governor in order to strengthen the national tick­ et in the state, but Mr. Root, anxious to return to his remunerative law prac­ tice, after five years in the cabinet, as persistently refused. He was mentioned as United States senator and on his resignation from the cabinet was widely talked of for the place. It hat1 become almost a rule in Washingtou that the Secretary of War on Retiring should step Into the senate. Every Secretary of War since Cameron's time had followed this rule, 'and it was expected that Root's case would prove no exception. Mr. Root has been president of the Union League club, the Bar associa­ tion, and the Republican club, and hd has served as president of the New England society in the city of New York. Hamilton college conferred up­ on him the degree of Lit D. in 1894. Succeeds Alger In Cabinet. Mr. Root succeeded Gen. Alger as Secretary of War cn Aug. 1, 1899, re­ ceiving his portfolio from President Separate Car for Negroes. Nashville dispatch: The Tennessee "Jim Crow" street car law, which pro­ vides for the separation of the races in street cars, has just gone into ef­ fect.

Discipline in the army had fallen off, and the department was jogging along loosely. It was in this) crisis that Mr. Root's legal, analytical mind stood the nation in good stead. Instead of sudden reform, he an alyzed the situation thoroughly, saw that the only adequate remedy was legislation, then prepared his argu­ ments fully, as though the, army had been his client, and went to a commit­ tee of congress to ask for It. Then he went to congress again and got a new army, of permanent forma­ tion, to take the place of the time limit troops which were carrying on the war with the prospect of speedy discharge and dissolution. He took up, the Cuban problem In the same thorough way and set to work to do what it had begun to ap­ pear would never be done. The Unit­ ed States had made Itself Cuba's guar­ dian, he said, and the United States must look after the island. He took a census, Established proper sanitary conditions, and then taught the In­ habitants how to govern themselves. He showed the same stern sense of duty and purpose in the situation in the ftr east. 1 • ; BAN ON PASSES Indiana Governor Proposes to Enforce the law Recently Enacted, PASTEB0ARD8TWELL PAtlf FOR Executive Declares Railroads Would Not Give Free Rides to Public Serv­ ants if* the Returns Were Not En­ tirely Satisfactory. Terre Haute, Ind., special: "During the three and one-half years that re­ main of my administration I intend to make the acceptance of passes so dis­ tasteful that an honest man will not wish to accept one and a thousand man will not dare," said Gov. J. Frank Hanly in an address at the Chautau­ qua. Continuing his address on the enforcement of the laws, Gov. Hanly said: "It is said that many honest offi­ cials accept the passes, but the argu­ ment is a poor one, for it is an ad­ mission that many dishonest ones do likewise. The passes are said to be gratuitous,' but if the returns to the corporations were not satisfactory at the end of the year, the passes would be cut off. The fact that passes stop when officials retire from public office shows that the passes were given to the office and not the man." Legislature Is a Jury. The speaker described the legisla­ ture and other public officers as a jury standing between the great corpora­ tions and the people. He said that in a trial the acceptance of gratuities by any of the jurors would be grounds for a motion for a new trial, and that the conduct of the legislative jurors was measured by just as strict a code of ethics. The governor referred to Terre Haute's sensation growing out of the shortage of a bank cashier, the clos­ ing of the doors of the bank and the subsequent upheaval in public senti­ ment over gambling, to which the cashier's shortage is attributed. Scores Wide-Open Town. "You may say that a wide open town means prosperity, but I don't think so, and 2,000 persons who had money in your closed bank will agree with me," said the governor. "Officials may raise this question of the propriety of a law and want to enforce it just as much as they think the people want It enforced, but I say there is no re­ course from enforcing laws in their entirety." He told of violations of the law in the fourteen Indiana cities in which he appoints the police commissioners, and .said that he intends to enforce all the laws for ail the people all of of the time. He said that men came to him daily and threatened him with political oblivion unless he relaxed, and his reply was that if the people of Indiana exact such a forfeit he is willing to pay it.

"The Santa Fe is interested only in seeing that coal is furnished it as be­ fore. The sum of $40,000 will be ad­ vanced by the creditors. The Illinois miners have just been paid off and nothing will be due for two weeks to come. We hope with the appointment of a receiver that the mines will be- -come successfully established again."

G. Lewis, publisher of i the Woman'8 Magazine, and promoter! of many large St. Louik enterprises,; has. been barred from the mails tinder i a fraud order announced by Postmas­ ter General Cortelyou. The same order includes Lewis and all officers and agents of the concern, which, established to conduct a bank*' *! Jng business, to make loans, and ao! cept deposits by mail, has done anj enormous business in many atates, t . 11 State Enters Complaint. The character* of the enterprise wasj. first called in question by the MIs-i souri authorities, who raised the point' that Lewis was borrowing too heavily; from the institution's funds for other] enterprises In which he was inter*; ested. "It is understood that the funds of: the bank which have not been bor­ rowed by.Mr. Lewis and his enterpris­ es, amounting to about two-thirds of the total amount remitted," says the postmaster general in his announce­ ment, "are deposited in banks and will! be available toward reimbursement of! the stockholders, who number upward* of 65,000. "Lewis represented that he would1 subscribe to the capital stock a dollar for every dollar subscribed by all oth­ ers, so that he woujd own half of the capital stock. Later he represented" that he had pledged his entire for­ tune in this banking enterprise. The inspectors found that Mr. Lewis hadj not co-operated to the extent of aj single dollar, although the bank hadj a paid up capital of $2,000,000. "March 15, 1905, Lewis had received! for shares in the bank $2,289,043.61., and had accounted to the bank in an> amount not exceeding $2^204.994. "This showed that every cent of the| $2,000,000 capital stock which has been^ paid In was paid out of subscription! money received by Lewis from the. public and tha%none of his own money' had been invested in the enterprise. This was found to be the fact al­ though Mr. Lewis had stated in writ­ ing to the inspectors that $495,750 ofi the $500,000 paid in at the original In­ corporation of the bank were his per­ sonal funds. Subsequently at the: hearing before Assistant Attorney General Mr. Lewis admitted that that' money was received by him from the people and was not his own. "The evidence shows, and Lewis ad­ mitted, that hundreds of thousands of dollars were loaned to himself and his various enterprises, practically at his will. The day after the investigation began he placed in the assets two notes--one for $50,000, signed by him­ self alone, without collateral, the i other for $146,375.63, signed by the board of directors. Mr. Lewis received no money from the bank at that time, the notes being put into the bank to cover money previously expended by him. "March 29 Lewis had loaned to him­ self and his enterprises $907,538.83. "These loans include $146,375.65 to .* the directors, $390,000 to the Lewis Publishing Company, $346,163.20 to the University Heights Realty and De­ velopment Company, and $25,000 to E. G. Lewis. At that time Mr. Lewis had $43,730 of the bank's money in­ vested in stocks and bonds of.his en­ terprises. The evidence further showed that Lewis had agreed to loan $66,666.66 of the bank's money on an unsecured note, but was prevented from doing so by Secretary of State Swanger. The University Heights Realty and Development Company, which had borrowed fro mthe bank $346,163.20, and the stock of which to the ex­ tent of 1,277 shares Mr. Lewis, sold to the bank, is shown to have assets consisting for the most part of land purchased for $200,000 as a speculation in suburban property, and upon which Mr. Lewis stated about $150,000 had been expended in improvements. Its liabilities are shown to be $674,700.53. On April 8, 1905, the cashier of the bank told the inspectors that 4,381 shares of the increased capital stock had been issued and In every in­ stance the shareholder had signed a proxy appointing Mr. Lewis to vote the stock. "Mr. Lewis is receiving a large num­ ber of remittances for stock in the bank in his own jiame. It further ap­ pears that it is the intention of the bank to increase its stock to $5,000,- 000.'* --- , *" Work Was Too Much for Him. When First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock began the dis­ charge of his duties he found that orders for the purchase of supplies were being approved in the most per­ functory manner. He decided to put an end to such slipshod methods and with that end in view decided not to sign any letter until he had read its contents. As he receives several hun­ dred daily he soon found that in order to carry out his plan he would have to work about twenty-fours a day, so h<6 was forced to give it up. Woman in Important Position.
