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.

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.

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."

Chicago, Sept. 20.Action to reclaim
$4,000,000 worth of land which city of
ficials assert has been appropriated by
the Illinois Steel company at the mouth
of the -'Calumet river, was started by
Commissioner of Public Works Patter
son today. 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.

CANADA SEEKING v.
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.

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
