Ambassador to Russia Selected
For Post Of Berlin
To Fill Place Made Vacant by
Whites Retirement.
STORER TO MOVE UP.
Our Representative at Madrid
to Go to st. Petersburg.
Henry White Slated For the
Vacant Spanish Mission.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-President Roosevelt
has chosen Charlemange Tower. ambas-
Sador to Russia. to succeed Mr.. White
as ambassador to Germany. Notifica-
tiOns of this decision and that Mr..
Whites letters of recall had been issued
by the state department, have reached
the foreign Office here.
The appointment of Mr.. Tower had
been expected here for several weeks.
As he was passing through Berlin six
weeks ago he gave hint to one or two
of his friends that he might be trans
ferred to this court.
Mr.. White will probably not have his
farewell audience of the emperor No
vfously arranged, because his majesty
leaves November 5 for England. The
retiring ambassador therefore is not
likely to present his letters of recall un-
til about the middle of November
washington, Sept. 25.-The appoint
ment of Charlemange Tower as ambas-
sador to Germany to succeed Mr.. White
is confirmed here. It is likely that off,
cial announcement of the change will be
made soon, either by President Roose-
welt himself or by. the state depart
ment.
Mr.. Towers acceptance of the Ger
man mission will create a vacancy in
the ambassadorship to Russia which is
held now by him. 1t is regarded as
quite likely that he will in turn be sue
bassadOr to the court of Madrid 1t is
intimated further that the vacancy in
the Spanish mission may be filed by
the appointment of Mr.. Henry White,
present secretary of embassy in Great
Britain.

Between Jane Addams and A.
Stickney of the Maple Leaf

Minneapolis, Sept 25.-The feature of
Wednesdays session of the National
Convention of Employers and Employees
was a lively tilt between President
Sticlxney of the Chicago Great Western
railroad and Miss Jane Addams of Chi
cago. Mr., Stickney read a paper on
THE Rewards of Industry" in which he
asserted among other things that the
chief object of labor unions was to Sc
cure higher wages. Miss Addams took
issue with this and said their principal
object was to get shorter hours. Mr..
Stickney said too many men had been
attracted to the anthracite fields by the
high wages and that caused the present
trouble Miss Adams declared that the
operators were responsible for over
stocking the labor market. They had
imported labor and were responsible for
present conditions. The debate was
lively and evoked much interest
Miss Adams subject was THE Social
Waste of Child Labor" but she made
her reply to Mr.. Stickney before Begin
ming her paper
r. ". Powderly, ex-commfssioner of
immigrati tion, in speaking of the anthra-
cite coal strike. said that few people
think of the laboring man until he
strikes and they are in danger of be-
ing affected by the result of the strike
'It is only when we begin to fear that
we may not have the pleasure of roast
coal fire next winter that we realize
that we have a labor problem to deal
with"
