AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Few Visitors Prior to Cabinet
Meeting.
AN INDIANA OFFICE
Surveyorship of the Port of Indi&nap
olis in Contest.
TWO PROMINENT CANDIDATES
One Recommended by Senator Bever
idge and One by Representative
Overstreet.
There were just a few visitors prior to the
cabinet meeting today. Included in these
were Senator Beveridge and Representative
Overstreet of Indianapolis. There is a fight
on for the surveyorship of the port of In
dianapolis. The position is now held by
Archibald Young, and he has been there
eight years at $5,000 a year. The conclu
sion was reached by the Indianapolis and
Indiana statesmen that he ought to give
way to some other Indiana man, but no one
man could be agreed upon. The conse
quence is that there are two prominent can
didates for the surveyorship, one backed by
Senator Beveridge and the other by Rep
resentative Overstreet. The probability is
that Senator Beveridge's choice will be
named to the Senate by the President, who
regards the senators of a state as the nat
ural purveyors of patronage. In this par
ticular case, however, it is stated that for a
number of years, owing to various reasons,
the surveyorship at Indianapolis was filled
upon the recommendations of the represen
tative of that district. Following the usual
custom, Representative Overstreet recom
mended Frank D. Stalnaker, a prominent
business man, while Senator Beveridge has
handed in to the President tlie name of L. G.
Rothschild, at the present time assistant at
torney general of Indiana, a well-known
lawyer and business man. The commercial
organizations of the city have taken the
matter up and are backing one or the other
of the candidates, the preference appearing
to be for Stalnaker, who was a candidate in
the recent republican primaries for the nom
ination for mayor of that city.
Senator Hemenway is said not to have
gotten into the tight, although it is hinted
that he is somewhat in sympathy with Stal
naker. Senator. Hemenway probably con
siders that the appointment is one that
does not belong in his part of the state,
and that it belongs to Senator Beveridge,
who is from Indianapolis.
Some Senatorial Differences.
President Roosevelt has had more trouble
in tlie last few months over appointments
where there were differences between the
republican senators or in the r^iublican
delegations in Congress than he has had
before in many months. He has tried hard
to insist upon those responsible for recom
mendations getting together so as to accept
the responsibility that belongs to them, but
he is not able to bring about the harmony
he desires in every case. The two South
Dakota senators, for instance, are at dag
ger's point over patronage in their state
and the alleged attempt of Senator Kit
tredge to bring about the overthrow of Sen
ator Gamble and to name a man suitable to
himself for senator.
Senators Dick and Foraker have not been
able to agree upon some of the Ohio ap
pointments. although they have agreed
upon others. Each has submitted his own
recommendations and placed the responsi
bility upon the President of deciding be
tween them.
The President will probably have a still
worse case to contend with from now on
In the two Wisconsin senators. When
Judge Quarles was the colleague of Sena
tor Spooner they worked together in per
fect harmony in the matter ot. patronage,
but there is no one who believes for a
minute that Senator Spooner and his new
colleague, Senator Da Follette, will be able
to get together in this direction. There
would be immense surprise in Wisconsin if
this should prove true. The men are so
wide apart in their views as to policies
and men that it will be jjractically impos
sible for them to unite as to applicants
to fill the federal offices. It is suggested
that the best solution will be for the two
senators to divide the state, so that one
will make the appointments in one part
and the other in another.
A. Benzinger, the Paris painter, who
painted one of the best pictures of Mc
Kinley ever put upon canvas, was at the
White House today. He has come to this
country to make some paintings of distin
guished men and women, and is at present
at work in Pittsburg.
White House Conference Tonight.
A conference will be held at the White
House tonight. President Roosevelt having
invited Secretaries Root, Taft and Bona
parte and Attorney General Moody to meet
him at 0:30 o'clock. It is stated that the
conference will be for the purpose of con
sidering some questions which were broach
ed at today's cabinet meeting, but which,
at the time, could not be discussed thors.
oughly.
These questions relate to the proposed
changes in the naval personnel bill affect
ing promotion of officers and the status of
the general board of the navy.
ALLEGED VIOLATIONS.
Dealers Charged With Selling Milk
Not up to Standard.
A large number of warrants for dealers
in milk, cream and similar products were
sent out from the Police Court yeslerday,
charging the defendants with violating the
pure food law, "in selling milk or cre.im
that was under the standard, etc. The re
sult was that twenty-one warrants were re
turned to the Police Court today, having
been served on the defendants. In all but
one of the trfenty-one cases each of the
defendants put up $5 collateral for his ap
pearance in the court and then forfeited
the collateral this morning. One man came
to court and was fined $5.
John Tippette of SW<> Massachusetts ave
nue, the one of the defendants who came
to court, pleaded guilty to selling milk that
was not up to the standard in the amount
of fat it contained, but claimed that lie sold
it as it was sold to him by a dairyman.
The dealers who forfeited their $5 col
lateral were: Joseph ? B. Ager, Mary T.
Burke, Theodore Cheakolas. Nunzlo Crie
vello, Julian P. Dodge, William C. Ellis,
George B. Ewell, Rufus F. Fox. Gwynetta

Walls, Albert Wildman, Ju'.ius II. Snider
and John W. Gregg.
Verdict for $5,280,333 in Harper Case
A verdict for $5.2S0,333 against Edward
E. Harper, once vice president of the Fidel
ity National Bank of Cincinnati, was af
firmed by Judge Coxe In the lTnited States
circuit court in New York yesterday.
E'ghteen years ago Mr. Haiper was con
victed of causing the failure of the Fidelity
Bank, and served six years in prison. The
verdict which he was ordered to pay yes
terday grew out of this failure. The origi
nal amount sued for was $2,500,000, and
yesterday's verdict of over ?D,000,000 repre
sented this claim plus the interest which
has accrued during the eighteen years the
suit has been pending In the court.
Mayor's War on Ticket Speculators.
Mayor Dunne announced at Chicago yes
terday that he would at once issue orders
16 arrest all scalpers of theater and amuse
ment tickets who operate on the sidewalks
or streets. The sale of tickets In the hotels
at prices above those charged at the box
offices will not be stopped at present, but
the mayor declared yesterday tljat he
would secure the passage of a city ordi
nance which would provide for a llccneo
fee of $500 for every dealer In theater
ticket*.

Chamberlain Hooted at Meeting.
The British political campaign is now
warming up. Already n number of disor
derly meetings have l)e?n reported, and last
night, when Joseph Chamberlain attempted
to address a mass meeting a.t Derby in sup
port of the unionist candidates he was
bowled down from the beginning and w^.s
unable to secure a hearing. ?ir Henry Beli
rose a prominent citizen of Derby, appealed
to the audience to give Mr. Chamberlain an
opportunity to outline his views. Mr. Cham
berlain who was evidently enraged, again
rose, and s?-kl lie mistaken in appealing
to the intelligence of the peop.e or Derby.
This caused renewed uproar, and, though
Mr Chamberlain fought hard, he was un
able# to overcome the opposition, and, his
voice failing, he retired amid continued tu
mult.
A Most Exciting Tale.
The London Bookseller says of "Curly:"
"Spun with a vivacity that forcibly re
minds us of Bret Harte. The narrative Is
told <in his own uncouth yet humorous lan
guage) by one 'Chaikeye,' a typical cowboy,
reckless, yet good-hearted. The tale is real
ly most exciting, and it is told in a naive
manner which arouses the interest and ex
cites the risibility of the reader to a jnarked
extent ' "Curly" will be published as a
daily serial in The Star, the opening chap
ters appearing Saturday.
