CAFFERY'S PLACE MUST BE FILLED
Louisiana Senator Will Decline 10 Lead the Third Par-
 ty Ticket.

New York, September 19.-A meeting of those interested in the National Ohird ticket) party movement will be held to- morrow in the office of Everett V. Abbott, to decide what steps shall be taken in view of the withdrawal of the third party s Presidential candidate, Senator Gallery of Louisiana. The committee on notification, whose members are R. A. Widenmann, A. B. Farquhar of York, Pa, and Louis A. De LaCroix of North Carolina, will make its formal report at this meeting.
 It is said that Senator Caffery has been in sympathy with the new party move ment ever since its beginning; that he knew at the time of the New York con- vention that his name was the only one that would be presented to the delegates as a Presidential candidate, and that the nomination was made with at least his consent. Circumstances which have arisen since the convention. however. have com pelled him to decline, and he so notified the committee. There Is some difference of opinion as to the course which should be taken by the party now. They are strongly in favor of making another nomi- nation for the head of the sticket and carrying on the campaign the lines originally laid down. In some of the states, however the efforts of the third ticket advocates are likely to be confined to the nomination of a single elector and for this reason the composition of the national ticket is not a matter of quite so much coneQuence,

 Vessels Landing With Wheat
 The wheat in Elevator "A" Is being turned over and put in shape to deliver to vessels. There were about l,J0O cars of wheat on track here and most of these show peculiar condition on inspection. Ii appears that in nearly all of them there is a root of wheat on the bottom to which the water rose. It was salt water and the wheat caked so hard that the "tryers used by the inspector will not penetrate 1t. The grain above this water line appears not to have been damaged. The good grain was being transferred by hand to other cars today.

 At meeting of the general relief com mittee today experts were before the com mittee. No one would undertake the job of removing the city's debris on contract as all state it would be impossible to make a definite estimate. The nearest estimate expert wreckers would make is that 1t would take 20,O00 men ninety days to clear away the debris and get out all the bodies and that this will cost half a million dollars.
 The board adopted a resolution stating the opinion of the board that the best way to solve the problem of clearing away the debris was to let a contract to some one to do this work. They recommended to the general committee that this be done.
