Main Street # FACTS ON DEFENSE WON'T BE GIVEN! ## PRESIDENT TAFT WITHDRAWS HIS DATA, AS HOUSE WILL NOT HOLD IT CONFIDENTIAL. Washington, Dec. 15.—President Taft today directed Secretary of War Dickinson to withhold from congress entirely his report on the national defenses, made in answer to the resolution passed by the house of representatives. The house yesterday declined to receive the report in confidence. Hence it will not be sent at all. The president took the ground today that all the facts as to the army and the fortifications along the coasts of the United States upon which congress could base any proposed action were considered regular annual reports of the secretary of war, the chief of staff and other subordinate officers of the war department. These reports are already in the hands of congress. President Taft agrees with some of the congressmen that these opinions should be held in strict confidence. As the house cannot receive reports in confidence, the president decided it would be best to withhold the original report in its entirety. He desired Secretary Dickinson to prepare a letter to the house giving his reasons for withholding the special report and inviting attention to the regular annual reports, which will be found to contain all the actual information that helps to make up the reply to the McLachlan resolution. He—It's quite true that there are microbes in kisses. She—Oh, the sweet little darlings!—Illustrated Bits. Only One "BROMO QUININE," that is # Laxative Bromo Quinine Cures a Cold in One Day.

Rev Canon O'Daly of Ballaghadereen college, Ireland, will deliver a lecture on the "Industrial and Language Revival in Ireland" tomorrow night at Hibernia hall, Centerville, under the auspices of the Hibernians, the Ladies' auxiliary and the Gaelic league. An interesting musical program has been arranged for the evening by the ladies of the auxiliary and a cordial invitation has been extended by the Canon to all Irish and Irish Americans in the city as well as those of other races who feel inclined to come and hear his lecture on the Ireland of today. The Canon stated at The Inter Mountain office this morning that there are many changes in the condition of Ireland in recent years. Education has spread its beaconlight over the land; the land war has been brought to an almost successful finish; the farmers have been restored to their holdings; the grazing lands have been divided up among the hitherto evicted tenants, and an era of prosperity faces the country. Canon O'Daly will tell of the work done by the Gaelic league and the Irish industrial revival movement in contributing to this end. The following program will also be given during the evening: Instrumental duet—violin and piano—John McNamara and Miss Mary Murphy. Song in the Gaelic tongue, the children of the Gaelic league. Song—Mrs. Hugh Daly. Address of the evening—Rev. Canon O'Daly. Song—Mrs. Martha Collins. Recitation—Michael Gavigan. Dance—Misses Nora Sullivan and Katie Holland, John Leahy and Jack Crowley. John O'Meara, state president of the Hibernians, will act as chairman of the evening, and Mr. O'Meara's ability to introduce speakers and artists is well known. The hall will open at 8 o'clock and the entertainment commence at 8:30. The following committee are in charge of the arrangements in conjunction with the ladies of the auxiliary: P. H. Kenny, James Connolly, Denis O'Neill, Thomas J. Moran, John Murphy, Thomas Tutty and Ed Lawler.

The company contended the facilities required would cost $11,067, but the commission says such extensive plans are not necessary, and the railroad is ordered to provide, not later than February 1 next, suitable stock yards, station buildings and appurtenances, and to place an agent in charge thereof for the purpose of conducting freight and passenger business, and that at least one passenger train daily in each direction shall stop at said station. If after one year, the defendant can show by verified figures that the volume of business transacted does not warrant the continuance of the station, the commission will authorize its closure. ### IRATE FATHER FIRES.

A force of 18 clerks has been kept busy supplying the patrons with diamonds, watches and jewelry. The art room, with its beautiful Pickard china and wonderful cut-glass, has been greatly admired by all people. The manufacturing department has been taxed to its utmost and the three engravers are swamped with work. The giving of free souvenirs to every buyer throughout the entire holiday season has done much to attract the crowds. The fact that the proprietors are all skilled mechanics and employ only such, and their long continued career of reliable dealing in this community, had caused the public to repose in them a confidence that is in itself a great business asset. Mr. Winterhalter of the firm stated yesterday that the indications pointed to a 30 percent increase over the December business of a year ago, and this, from indications, would appear so, as the store is crowded every hour in the day. The propensity of the people to go where the crowds go and the really large and elegant stock, courteous treatment, low prices and skillful engraving and workmanship of the firm will keep the interest from lagging. Readers of this paper are advised to shop early at this store and avoid the Christmas rush. ### DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of Mrs. Alice Guenette took place this morning at 9 o'clock from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. O. Bernier, 415 North Washington street, proceeding to St. Patrick's church, where a high mass of requiem was celebrated. The funeral of Patrick J. Sullivan will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from the family residence, 1006 West Park street, proceeding to St. Patrick's church, where a high mass of requiem will be celebrated.

Thomas Kelly died this morning at a local hospital of pneumonia after a few days' illness, at the age of 48 years. The deceased was a single man and a well known miner. The body is at Duggan's undertaking rooms and no arrangements will be made for the funeral until a sister residing in Chicago is heard from.

No testimony was introduced today, the settling of the instructions taking up all the morning. At 1:30 this afternoon Attorney William Maloney opened the state's arguments, and was followed by Attorney Wm. Meyer for the defense, while Attorney Alex Mackel closed for the defense, and Chief Deputy County Attorney L. P. Donovan summoned up the state's case in the final argument. Hopkins is charged with the murder of Eric Hamry, who was shot by the defendant in the Swiss-American saloon on the night of January 26, 1909, but did not die until April 6, 1909. Hopkins claims ## Column 6 the shooting was an accidental one, caused by the defendant being drunk at the time, while the state endeavored to prove that Hopkins intentionally shot Hamry, owing to a beating inflicted on the defendant by Hamry a few weeks before the shooting occurred. ### OBEDIENT CHILD. The curly-haired little sprite of the house came running to her father in the study and, throwing her arms about his neck, whispered confidentially in his ear: "Oh, papa, it's raining!" Papa was writing on a subject that occupied his mind to the exclusion of matters aside, so he said, rather sharply, "Well, let it rain." "Yes, papa; I was going to," was her quick response.—Harper's.
