"This prize righting business Is a thing that could be stopped with the greatest ease," said a prominent state officer. "The prosecuting attorney could proceed against the offenders, but if he is careless in re gard to it any citizen may prefer charges and obtain an injunction against holding such disgraceful events. Citizens may. indeed, go still further and have a receiver appointed for a club which announces Its intention to hold a prize light. This was clearly decided by the Supreme Court in the famous litigation against the Colum bian Athletic Club at Roby." GALLERY OF PORTRAITS 3IU. HROWN SEEKIXCi PICTt'RES OF Sl'lMlKMK COlItTALKHKS. One of William Hanker Heneh, lSoZ COf Ilecelveel Yesterday from Providence, II. I. "I am exceedingly anxious to learn the present residence -of seme relative or friend of E. MacdonaM, who was the first clerk of the Indiana Supreme' Court under the first State Constitution from 1S17 to lS2t" said Robert A. Brown, clerk of the Supreme Court, last night. Mr. Brown said that when he took office he found the portraits of a majority of his predecessors hanging on the walls of the various rooms belong ing to the clerk's suite and decided to at tempt to obtain a complete gallery of por traits of clerks of the Indiana Supreme Court. The portraits to be found In the office now are tlioe of Laz Noble, who was clerk from to 1M5S; Theodore W. McCoy. 1S6S-72; Charles Scholl. 1S72-7G; Gabriel Schmuck. 1S76-S0; Jonathan W. Gor don, who served by appointment from lSl to lc2 after the death of Daniel Boyse. of Lafayette; Simon P. Shccrin. from 1S$2 to 1 S SO, and Andrew M. Sweeney, from 1S!0 to 1S0I. To carry out his project Mr. Brown imme diately entered into communication with such of the ex-Clerks as are still livng and with the relatives and friends of those that are dead wdth a view to securing portraits of the former officials. He has secured a promise from Gen. John Coburn and Henry Coburn that they ' will furnish a portrait of their father, Henry P. Coburn, who held the office of clerk of the court from ls2o to 152, thirty-two years, which was longer than the term of any other man that held the office. John P. Jones, who was clerk from lt'0 to 111, is now a helpless invalid and re sides at Lagrange. His portrait will bo sent to Mr. Brown in a short time. The portrait of the lato Daniel Royse was re centlv placed in the clerk's office by his son. "Frank Royse. of Lafayette. Capt. Alexander Hess, who was Mr. Brown's immediate predecessor in the oflice. has signified his intention to have a portrait painted for this purpose. Mr. Brown also has received a promise from William T. Noble, who was clerk from 1 to lsiw). and who now resides in Richmond, to supply his portrait for the gallery. When Mr. Noble's portrait has been placed In the ufike the list wll be complete with the exception of the portrait of Mr. Maodonald, of whom, as has already been stated, no trace can lie found. Mr. Brown has made the most diligent effort to dis cover the whereabouts of some relative or friend of Mr. MacdonaM or to obtain a picture from which a portrait of the ex clerk might be made, but without success. MR. BEACH'S PORTRAIT COMES. An addition to the gallery of portraits of Supreme Court clerks was received yes terday when an admirably executed por trait of the late William ' Banker Beach, clerk from to im, came by express from his family home in Providence, R. I. The portrait w.as painted in oil by Jackson, of Boston, an artist of note. 'I'nfortunately the heavy gilded frame surrounding the picture became badly damaged in transit bv express from Providence and the pic ture will have to be i turned East to have another frame placed on It. Mr. Brown said that the frame was one of the richest that can be purchased. The portrait was the gift of ex-Clerk Beach's son. Charles H. Beach, a prominent insurance man of Providence. In a letter to Mr. Brown Mr. Beach raid: "I take great pleasure in presenting my father's portrait to my native State, the one he loved so well and in which so many years of his active, life were spent. The family are deeply moved by the honor shown one whose memory they so revere and grate fully acknowledge your courtesy." An interesting fact about Mr. Beach, the subject of the portrait received yesterday, is that he was the first man to bo ebcted clerk of tha Supreme Court of this State under the present Constituton. He served from lv"2 to 1WV. Prnr to the adoption of the present Constitution clerks were ap pointed ty the court and held office at the pleasure of that tribunal. At th- conclusion cf his term of office Mr. Beach went to Providence. R. 1.. where he remained until his death a few years apo. He became prominent in Demo ratio pc'itics In that State and at one time ob tained the nomination for Governor, but was defeated in the ensuing election. No Change In TetliiK Machines. COLFMBl'S.

TRADEMATERIALLYAIDED IMPROVED WEATHER CONDITIONS HELP THE COUNTRY'S UISIXESS. More Activity In Iron ami Steel HIrIi Price for Corn Cheek Exports Failures for Week and Month. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow-will say: "Continued favorable weather conditions have resulted in the saving of much late planted corn, and in the North west ideal weather for spring wheat har vest has been enjoyed. As this Is the point that business in all parts of the country has been most carefully watching, tht; general feeling is better than a wek ago, although the disposition on both sides to settle the steel strike has not yet re sulted in any agreement, and the labor situation is thus kept prominent. "Official returns of pig-iron production In the llrst half of the year snow a record breaking aggiogate of 7.674.713 tons, ex ceeding the remarkable output of the pre vious year by 02.041 tons. The second half or' lt01 has opened with a mucli greater capacity of active furnaces, and the full year promises a considerably larger total than the 13,789,242 tons produced in 11 JO. During the past week leading mills have placed large contracts for early delivery, and inquiries for all forms of finished steel are abundant. There is less disposition to pay fancy prices for products that were advanced by the strike, which is an evi dence of the general telicf in early ic sumption of work. An unfavorable yho ing for the first year in both exports and cutput of coj per resulted in the nVfcl alter ation in nominal price since the advance to 17 cents eight months ago. "Violent fluctuations have marked the course of corn prices. The top price of the previous week was not regained, but traders on the short side of the market were compelled to cover at a 1jss. The decrease in marketing is not in proportion to the advance in price. Whatever benelit may have accrued from the high level of prices it certainly has driven foreign buy ers out of the market. Atlantic exports for the week amounting to only 764.17s bushels, against 3,10j.'Jol bushels a year ago, and 4.o03.4'J7 bushels two years ago, at a dif ference in price of IS and 25 cents, respect ively. Wheat is of less interest to specu lators, but in legitimate trading it is espe cially active. Western receipts for the week reaching 6.508.311 bushels, against 5.020,r.l bushels last year, and 4,734,364 bushels two years ago, while, Atlantic exports were 4. 815,1 bushels, against 2,373.7fs bushels in ItHJO, and 3,7ti5,7!7 bushels in ISM. "Dealers in some drought-stricken dis tricts have countermanded orders for foot wear, and these cancellations are felt main ly by Western makers, but as a whole the industry is in a healthy position. Leather is quiet, shoe factories buying lightly owing to large supplies taken recently. Liberal arrivals of hides tend to depress values. Wool has at last risen slightly above the lowest point in four years. "Failures in July were 637 in number, against 713 last year, and $7.03.V.;:3 in amount of liabilities, against $'.,771,775 in 1W0." MORE IIOPEFIL OUTLOOK. Urailfttreet Ileeelven Iteports of fien e rally Retter Conditions. NEW YORK, Aug. 2. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: "Copious rains through out the Western half of the country have had the expected effect of inducing a more cheerful tone, and the feeling is de cidedly more hopeful than it was a week or two ago. Bradstreet's advices point to the early corn crop as practically a fail ure in the . leading surplus-producing States west of the Mississippi, but late ccrn undoubtedly has been saved, and, as time elapses, estimates of production are being raised. From the rest of the coun try trade advices are in the main cheerful, and despite the intense heat and drought of July an extraordinarily large business appears to have been done, which is re flected In the bank clearances for that month. Cotton crop conditions improved in the South as a result of the recent rains, and trade advices are correspondingly more cheerful. Pacific coast crop advices are also better, although shipping activity is interfered with at San Francisco by a strike. The Northwest will produce crops largely in excess of last year, and a heavy fall trade is anticipated in that section. The poorest advices, naturally, come from the central West and South west, but It is significant that points like Kansas City report that cancellations have stopped and that the outlook is much blighter. "The woolen mills are filled with orders for fall delivery, and the spring weight season has opened encouragingly. Wool is being taken in liberal amounts by the manufacturers, and is firm, as is also the London market, at which buying for Amer ica is reported liberal. Sugar is Irregular and rather slower in demand. Lumber is rather quiet, in sympathy with the ad vancel stage of the season, for prices for white pine are firmly held. Prospects for the ending of the steel strike and the bet ter tone of crop advices have made the iron and steel trade more cheerful. For the first time in some weeks special activ ity is noted in the cruder forms, due to the buying of 70,mM tns of bessenier and basic pig iron by the largest single inter est. Finish. i products are as active as ever at all leading markets. "It has been another weather market for cereals. Following the break of last week, however, wheat and oats appear to have di verted from corn prices. The natural reac tion lue to liquidation has weakened wheat, aided by good spring wheat crop reports, record-breaking receipts of new winter wheat and the turn in the tide of visible supplies, which have bgun to increase after steady decreases for six months past. The foreign croa situation appears no bet ter and reiterated advices of damage to the French crop come this week, color being given to these by the continued active ex port demand. Corn, after the sharp break of last week, was close to the highest point reached, on alleged information of damage caused by the recent hot spell, previous to the breaking of the drught.

Tribute to the Liberty-Losing Pio neer of the Far West Future of the I nlted .State. COLORADO STRINGS, Col., Auer. 2. The principal feature, of the Colorado quarto centennial celebration In this city to-day whs an address by Theodore Koo.evtlt, Vice President of the United States.' on "The Growth of the West During the Last Quarter of a Century." On Ids arrival this morning Colonel Roosevelt was welcome! by the Governor and staff, veteran?, Rough Riders, s-chool children and many others. At 10 o'clock he was escorte! to North Park, where he spoke In the open air to an assemblage of lO.tM) people, who gave Mm an enthusiastic reception and frequent ly interrupted his remarks with applause. In opening his adlress he declared that, with the exception of the admission to statehood of California, no other event em phasized In huch dramatic fashion the full meaning of the growth of eur country as did the incoming of Colorado. He sketched the system of colonial government that ex isted prior to the settlement ami growth of America, pointing out that up to that lime no scheme had been devised under whicn it was possible to preserve both national unity and individual freedom. Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt said: "Some did better than others Knj,iand, for In stance, did far better than Spain but in no case were the colonists treated as citizens of equal right in a common country. Our ancestors, who were at once the strongest and most liberty-loving among all the peo ples who had been thrust out into new con tinents, were the lirst to revolt against this system; und the- lesson taught by their suc cess has been thoroughly learned. "In applying the new principles to our aomiition we have founei the Federal Con stitution a nearly perfect instrument. The system of a close ly-knit and indestructible union of free commonwealths bus enabled us to elo what neither Greek nor Roman in their greatest eiays could do. We have preserved the complete unity of an ex panding race without impairing in the slightest degree the liberty of the indi vidual. When, in a given locality, the set tlers became suilieiently numerous, they v.ere almitted t statehood, and thencefor ward shared .ill the rights and eluth s of the citizens of the oldest St-tes. As with ( Ydum bus and the egg. the expedie nt see ms obvious enough nowadays; but then it was so novel that a touple of generations had to pass before we ourselves grasped all its features. At last we rew to accept as axiomatic the two facts of national union and loal and personal freedom. As whatever is anxlom atic seems cornmt npl ice, we now attempt to accent what has been accemp'ihed as a mere matter of course. The very com pleteness with which the vitally important tasK has been lon- almost blimls us to the extraordinary nature of the achievement." Mr. Roosevelt paid a strong tribute to the men "who greatly dared and greatly did," and declare! the winning of th" West was "the gieat epic feat in th- history of our race." In conclusion he said: "l-'or the sake, not only of ourselves, but of our children anl nir children's chi'dren. w must se that this big: Nation stand lor strength and hone-sty, both at home ani abroad. In our internal policy we ear.not afloiei to re:t satishei until all that the government can elo has been done to s cure fair dealing and equal justice as h-tv. n man anl man. In the great part which 'hereafter, whether we will or not, we must play in the world at large, let us see to it that we n- ither elo wrong rmr shrink from doing rjht because the riht is dif ficult; that. ;i the r.e hnd we inflict no injury, and that. n the oth r, we- h i- a due le-gard lir the honor and ini-rst of our mighty Nation, ami tint we ko p un sullieel the re nown ef the nag whicn. b -yond all others of the pre sent time. r of the ages of the past, stands for conti! nt failh in the future welfare and Kratnss of mankind."

The a!dress was a vigorous and eloquent appeal for a stronger navy. hlv ry Congress, he ieelarel, should appropriate at least $-,(0.j,t"O for new warships. The United States was ietined to b-come a great world power and it was fitting that it should have a navy strong enough to main tain it in every portion .f the globe.
