ROOSEVELT TURNS THEM DOWN.
He Disregards Party Recommendations in APP
pointing Postmasters N
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington. Nov. e.-The President has
appointed the following postmasters:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Floy Kinds; Union
Springs, Henry Harrison.
Mississippi-C larksdale, Annie Dur
ham.
Texas-Fort Worth, George w. Bur-
ronahs.
The President disregarded the recon-
mendations of the Republican organiza-
lions in three States in each of these
cases. In these cases the organization
candidates did not meet all the require
ments.
At Union Springs the contest was
waged warmly and neither Republican
factor won. the assistant postmaster be-
ing promoted solely on his record. The
appointee at Decatur, Ala, is the daugh-
ter Of the retiring postmaster, and was
endorsed by business men of Decatur.
The State Republican Committee had
another candidate.
The Clarksdale, Miss, appointee, was
postmaster during the Harrison admin
istration.
w. G. Cole was appointed there about
month ago on the recommendation of
National Committeeman Turley. Pro-
tests were telegraphed here subsequent
~ that the appointment was of carpet
bag nature. and that Cole had resided
at Clarksdale less than the prescribed
six months for citizenship. An investi-
cation corroborated this charge and the
change therefore was made.

GsRMANY STIRRED BY a DUEL.
An Officer Goes to Death Through Decision
Of Court Of Honor.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Nov 9.--The public mind was
considerably excited this week on ac-
count of duel at Insterburg, East Prus-
sia in which Lieutenant Blaskowitz Of
the army, was killed by Lieutenant Hill
debrand also of the army. The military
officials have not vet made a statement
of the facts in the case, but the Ma
tional Zeitung has obtained an authori-
tative account Of the meeting which is
as follows:
Lieutenant Hildebrand and Rasmussen
met Lieutenant Blaskowitz going home
one night in state OF intoxcation, car
ried him to spot near his residence and
left him there. They returned to the
spot later, however, and found Blaskow-
itz crouching against a wall, asleep, and
tried to arouse him and get him upon his
feet. Blaskowitz, being ignorant of the
identity of the two men who were en-
deavoring to assist him, struck right and
left in his semi somnolent state and hit
Lieutenant Hildebrand. The latter con-
sidered himself insulted by the blow re-
ceived and reported the affair to the
Court of Honor, which decided that a
duel was unavoidable, whereupon Lieu
tenant Hildebrand challenged Lieutenant
BlaskowitZ. The latter, however, I'M
conscious of what had occurred while he
was intoxicated went to Eylau the next
day to attend a party held at the house
of young lady whom he was to marry
on the following day. When telegram
recalling him to meet Hildebrand was
received. Blaskowitz wanted to settle the
matter with an apology, but the highest
officers OF the brigade and division sane
toned the finding of the Court Of Honor.
that duel was necessary. and it ended
in the manner already detailed.
Newspapers of all shades of opinion
express amazement at the action of the
Court of Honor. Even the conservative
papers regard the action of the court as
being incomprehensible. 1t is expected
that the case will come before the Reich
stag. The papers use the strongest Ian
guage against permitting duels like the
above, holding that the superior officers
are responsible.

tests AgainstsSearch Keptlup'byIT Troops

Sofia, Bulgaria. Nov. 9.--In the latest
letter received from Miss Ellen M. Stone
the captive american missionary, she
says she is exposed to much hardship and
suffering owing to the constant move
ment Of the band over hills and ravines,
notwithstanding the rigors of the winter.
In consequence of this activity, which
has lately been increased by the Bull
garan troops, the condition of Madame
Tsilka, Miss Stones companion, is even
more pitiable. owing to her expected ac-
couchement
The belief that Miss Stone is concealed
in village is thus discredited, as is the
reported birth of child to Madame
Tsilka. The monastery of Rilo was
searched by the authorities, as the pris-
oners were reported to be concealed
there. Troops are also searching the
ncighboring hills. s.s.Fs
Consul General Dickinson conferred to-
day with NJ. Daneff at the Bulgarian
Foreign Office, and it is understood Mr..
Dickinson made representations against
the movements of the troops.

WILL UNITE ALL MILLS
Schwab Is Taking an Active Part in
the Deal.
THE FACT REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT
Il IS Believed to Indicate That This New Cor
poration viii be Eventually Absorbed
by the Billion Dollar Steel
Trust.
(By the Associated Press

Philadelphia, Nov. 9-The North AM
erican tomorrow will say:
"A new $50,000,000 steel corporation Is
being formed for the purpose of uniting
in one powerful combination the plate
mills Of the country. Ten or more plants,
including Pennsylvania companies that
are now doing large business, are to be
absorbed by the new concern. Four of the
properties are east of the Alleghanies.
These are the Lukens Iron Works, at
Coatesville, the Tidewater Steel Com
pany. the Central Steel Company, Har-
risburg, and the Worth Bros. Mills.
These four represent an active estimated
capitalization of about 10000, 900.
1t is understood that the Jones and
Laughlin Company, of Pittsburg, a cor
poration with 0,000, 900 capital, will
enter the corpora tiOn and will be the
strongest concern in it. Details regard
ing the Western interests, that will be
represented. are lacking but these will
be probably made known within few
days in an official announcement of the
project.
"A significant feature of the deal is the
active part taken in it by Charles M.
Schwab, president of the United States
Steel Corporation. Mr. Schwab attended
conference held in this city early in
the week and had much to do with shap-
ing the plans Of the concern. This is be-
lieved to indicate that it will be oper-
ated in harmony with the billion dollar
corporation, and that eventually the new
company may become identified with Mr.
Schwab's corporation.
''The joint output of all the companies
aggregates 1000 tons.
1.-THE new company will take up the
securities of the constituent concern. both
by means of cash payment and an ex-
change Of stock upon basis not yet
