Governor Hanly of Indiana Says Ex-Auditor Lost State Funds in Card Games. Hamilton, Ind., Sept. 20.In an ad dress at the reunion of the Thirtieth Indiana regiment Governor Hanly, the principal speaker, has made public his reasons for his action in the case of David E. Sherriek, ex-auditor of state, whose resignation was forced by the governor. Facts and figures were used to show what became of the money be longing to the state that was lost by "David E. Sherriek, auditor of state and common gambler." The governor charged that $10,000 f the state's money "went by check into the handjt of the "gentleman who was then operating the casino" at French Lick. The governor then enu merated a list of what he called "wild cat securities," aggregating a face value of $75,000, into which the state's money went. He charged that Sherriek's contin ued absence from the sessions of the state board of tax commissioners "was occasioned by drinking bouts and mid night carousals around the gaming ta ble from which he could not recover in time to. meet with the commission." Direct Accusation. He charged that Sherriek, at the time the Monon railway came up for assessment, argued that the -assessment be allowed to remain at $18,000 be cause in that case a friend or his, to whom he was under great obligations personally, could get permanent em ployment with the company if the as sessment could be kept at $18,000. Governor Hanly said: There Is evidence, overwhelming and convincing, that Mr. Sherriek was a com mon gambler, and that he was at the time of his resignation and had been for two years in the habit of losing large sums of money, not his, but yours, at the gaming table. Certain people claim that gambling and an open door to vice are essential to the material prosperity of municipal com munities. I do not think so. But you are the jury. It is for you to decide. Before my inauguration I received trustworthy information that Sherriek city. we are that is You are invited to attend this opening. had written- to the management of sev eral railway companies in the month of December, 1904, over his own signature as auditor of state, asking them to send him all passes intended for the members of the general assembly, then about to con vene, stating in substance that he ex pected to have some legislation of per sonal interest to himself before that body and that if they would send their trans portation to him for distribution he would see that their interests and his were cared for at the same time. For three weeks the office of the audi tor of state was made a broker's office for the distribution of free passes to such members of the general assembly as would receive them. DID STEEL TRUST STEAL $4,000,000? For th Little Ones To Keep Their Digestion Perfect Nothing is so Safe and Pleasant as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Thousandsof menand womenhavefound Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the safest and most reliable preparation for auy form of indigestion or stomach trouble. Thousands of people who are not elok, but are well and wish to keep well, take Stuart's Tablets after every meal to insure perfect digestion and avoid trouble. But it Is not generally known that the Tablets are just as good and wholesome for little folks as for their elders. Little children who are pale, thin and I have no appetite, or do not grow or thrive, should use the Tablets after eating and will derive great benefit from them. Mrs. G. A. Grotsley, 038 Washington St., I Hoboken, New Jersey, writes: "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for ohil dren as well as for olderfolks. I've had tbo best of luck with them. My three-year-old girl takes them asreadily as candy. I have only to say Tablets' and she drops every' thing else and runs for them."

State Attorney Healy and Corporation Counsel Lewis were asked by Commissioner Patterson to proceed in the courts to_ recover 200 acres of submerged land which it is alleged the steel corporation has added to its prop erty in the past four years by encroach ing on Lake Michigan and the Calu met river. The claim is made that the title to the lands legally rests in the name of the people ox the state of Illinois. With the development of the plans for legal action on the part of the state and the city came the suspension of Richard O'Sullivan Burke, who for the past five years has been the city's har bor engineer. Commissioner Patterson charges Burke with "neglect of duty and inefficiency." Burke is accused of having failed to inform the city offi cials regarding encroachments of the Steel corporation, and of having been unfamiliar with the situation, altho it was clearly within his duties.

TRADE IN TRINIDAD Dominion Shows Activity in Bat tle for West Indies Export Business. By W. W. Jermane. Washington,' Sept. 20.-*-The commer cial agent of Canada in Trinidad has made a report to his government cov ering the imports of that colony and the part played in those imports by the United .States and Canada, respec tively. For some time Canada has been planning to break into American ex port trade in the British WeBt Indies and South America, and its agents have been in the field making preliminary observations. This work is to be fol lowed by an active canvass of this new field by Canadian business men. In the year ending March 31, 1905, Trinidad imported goods to the value of $2,600,000, of which the United States contributed $740,000 and Canada $146,- 000. What the Islands Buy. Commenting on the trade conditions in the British West Indies, the depart ment of commerce and labor has this to say: The total value of nine articles of im port into Trinidadboots and shoes, fur niture, hardware, leather not manufac tured, manufactures not specified, ma chinery, soap, textiles, timberamounted to about $2,477,690, to which the United States and Canada contributed only about $843,907. It is fair to assume that nearly all the remainder/of these imports were British goods. There is not a single article in those selected wherein our man ufacturers do not excel, cottons perhaps excepted. We compete in the British market against British goods of the same classes. Nothing but our inattention to the Trinidad markets can, therefore, ac count for this trade condition, and what is true of Trinidad is Just as true of our trade relations in many other places. In provisions and breadstuff's, as a mat ter of course, the field has been purs, for the "mother country" has no interest 'in this portion of the trade of Trinidad, and Canada thus far has had very little effect thereon. Of the total imports of flour into Trinidad during the year under con sideration ($772,000) American flour fig ures for $755,000 and Canadian flour for the balance. The Canadian agent tells his govern ment that American exports of cordage and twine to Trinidad are giving place to Canadian exports of those articles, and then gives a 'list of articles which he thinks Canadians should supply, and altogether makes a report which will be of a good deal of value to his people. America's Inattention. American inattention to Trinidad markets, referred to by the department of commerce and labor, is bound in the long run to curtail our trade there, and this curtailment will be the more rapid if Canada pursues an opposite policy. This "inattention'"' is peculiar of Amer ican exporters as a class. The govern ment has on many occasions criticized ft, but apparently without accomplish ing any permanent reform. "We persist in packing goods for export in a certain way, regardless of the fact that cer tain countries demand certain shaped packages. We send certain classes of goods abroad, in the face of the govern ment reports that these classes of goods are not suitable for the intended, pur chasers. We rely upon printed circu lars instead of commercial agents. And/ last, but not least, we do not accom modate ourselves to the foreign de-' mands for lines of credits. Notwithstanding this ''inattention" of American exporters, however, our foreign sales continue to increase but it is evident that whenever a competing cou'ntry concludes to supply our defi ciencies in a given field, it will take away our trade. And it is verey cerj tain that Canada is arranging to dp this in the British West In'dies, and that later on she will do it in South America. Broadly speaking, there and Ireland 28,333. Of the British and Scotch emigrants, rather more than one-half go to British colonies, and Canada takes by far the greatest proportion of them. The Irish, however, prefer the United States, with the result that the republic gets more of British people than Canada. I is claimed that the English and Scotch are far more partial to the Dominion than to the United States, and sent -55,- 000 emigrants there as against 2,000 Irish in the seven months. South Af rica holds the next place in' popularity, and has taken nearly 13,000 Britons in the seven months, while Australia at tracted 6,325. The returns also show that 110,000 foreigners left the United Kingdom, chiefly for the United States, in the past seven months. LIEUT. BDRBANK TO BE GOURT-MARTIALED New York Sun Special Service.

If she makes gains at the direct expense of the United States, our own people will be to blame, and in the meantime anything that will tend to the development of Canada will be of indirect benefit to the entire North American continent. British Emigration. Consul Stephens of Plymouth, reports that anew return has just been issued for the first time by the British gov ernment. It is the counterpart of the alien immigration returns, and deals with the number of passengers who leave England for places out of Europe, discriminating between the British em pire and foreign countries. It appears that in .the month of July, 21,000 Brit ons emigrated, two-thirds being from England, 4,392 from Scotland and 2,631 from Ireland. That is a reduction of 1,664 as compared with the correspond ing month or last year. As regards the past seven months, British emigrants numbered about 151,000, an increase of 13,447.
