The men who are telling Gov. La
Toilette and his followers that they
ought TO help TO return SpoOner to
the Senate because he Is in line for
the presidency are very poor judges
Of human nature. Let them get down
on their marrow bones and pledge
themselves to support LaFollette for
the presidency, and then Spooner
may stand a show Of reelection to the
Senate. but hardly otherwise.

Boston, Dec. II.-lIundreds OF resi-
dents Of the North End besieged the en-
frances to the yard Of the Metropolitan
Coal company on Causcway street, and at
one time there was a small sized riot
When the Offices and yard were opened
crowd was gathered in front OF the
building, and as soon as the company's
men began to arrive these people COM
menced the liveliest kind OF scramble
to get inside. So much trouble was caused
by them in their fight for chance to get
through the gates that the Metropolitan
employees decided to haul wagonoad Of
coal in bags out of the yard and dis
tribute from the opposite side Of the street
in order to draw part of the crowd
away. A large wagon was Immediately
filled and driven outside.
Hardly had the driver pulled up his
horses before the crowd was upon his
wagon. Men and women pulled one an
other and fought for chance to get at
the coal.
The patrolmcn who were on duty at the
yard we're called upon, and it was only

force that they were able to keep the
bags from being stolen. One pairolman

MOTHER OF CLARK
HEIR BETTER NOW
MRS. w. A. CLARK, JR., is NOT so ILL
AS WAS FIRST THOUGHT AND
WILL GET ALONG NICELY.

Alarming reports were abroad today re-
garding the condition of Mrs. William A.
Clark, Jr., mother of the new Clark heir
born week ago last Monday. 1t was said
that high fever had set in and that grave
fears were entertained for her recovery.
ID. d. Campbell, the attending physician,
this afternoon denied the reports, though
admitting that last week Mrs. Clark did
have slight fever which caused some un-
easiness. When questioned by an Inter
Mountain reporter this afternoon he said:
Mrs. Clark today is feeling quite well and
strong There are no complications ana
she is making an excellent recovery. Her
condition can be judged from the fact that
we ordered mountain trout for her lun-
cheon today Her little son is doing re-
markably well, is perfectly healthy and a
fine little boy"

No News in London.

London, Dec. 1.-The foreign Office at
o'clock was without oincial news from
Venezuela. In connection with the re-
ported seizure of the Venezuelan customs
the foreign office officials say that arrange
ments for that step have not been COM
pleted. Before any general seizure could
occur Germany Great Britain and other
nations would have to come to an agree
ment for pro rata division and adjust
ment of their respective claims similar to
that arrived at by the allies in China, ex-
cept that the La Guayra custom house may
possibly have been seized as purely mill
tary measure. Though the seizure OF the
customs houses will take place eventually
it is pointed out that while hostilitics are
in progress the customs as a fiscal institu-
tion are practically vaueless.
