Aggressive Combination
for SeIf-Protection.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-The millers of the
United States, represented by thirty-five
delegates from state and sectional asso-
Citations. met here today and appointed a
committee to draw plans for a permanent
national organization. The committee
will report tomorrow, when the plan un-
doubtedly will be adopted, as ali the dele
gates are of the opinion that such an or
ganization is needed. The committee con-
sists of William c. Ellis, of st. Louis,
chairman; B. A. Eckart Chicago; Sey-
mour Carter, Minnesota; Asher Miner,
Pennsylvania; E. p Bronson, tennessee;
l.. M. Miller, Kansas City; E. H. Evans,
Indiana, and A. Mennel. Ohio
A national association of millers already
exists, but it is said to be too loose to
be effective and the members have Of
fered to Withdraw from it or to suher
merger in ne new organization The
object of the new organiza ton will be
to unite the millers and enabIe them to
use their strength with congress as a
unit. The mllers, it is said, fear adverse
foreign tariffs, especially the new German

Immediately prepared to fight To our

In the fighting John Doyle, former

1t is feared that the trouble is not at
an end. Turner is not a man who is
easily cowed, and it is believed he will

their sons vitality will he sufficient fo-
him to meet and pass successfully the
crisis in his disease which is looked
for some time tomorrow, and on Friday
morning he will be practically out OF
danger.
Tonight he Is considered to be better
than last night, and the same can b.
said of his two schoolmates, Howard F.
Potter, Of New York, and William Gam
mel Jr., OF Providence.
This report, which was given out by
Mr.. Cortelyou at 9 o'clock tonight was
the last of the four issued during the
day, none OF which was os a discour-
aging or unfavorabIe nature. Tuesday
night had been a good one, and after
the morning examinations by the physI-
clans, ii was said that should the favor
able condition continue for forty eight
hours, the danger would be passed.
Again, after the examination by the
doctors tonight, Secretary Cortelyou
frankly said that the crisis In the right
lung, that in the left having been pass
ed, would probably be reached before
tomorrow night.
Parents Very Hopeful.
So confident are the president and his
wife that the boy will pass through t1is

is already making some slight preparas
tions to leave for Washington Tonight
1t looks as if he might start some time

tonight seemed not only cheerful, but
jovial, while Mrs. Roosevelt, cheered and
conlforted by short but impressive
service at o'clock in the chapel, went
to her nightly watch in the 1nfirmary in
good spirits.
The 8 o'clock report of the boys con-
dition was the most important one Of
the day. Mr.. COrtelyou said that the
left lung had cleared considerably dur
ing the day; that the boys temperature
respiration and pulse had shown but lit
tie variation. Everything during the day
has gone on well. The clearing up Of
the left lung is a favorable sign, in that
1T will enable the boy to meet the crisis
In the right lung better.
In speaking Of other things besides the
boys condition. Mr. Cortelyou said that
no change had been made In the pro-
gram for Prince Henry's visit; in fact
invitations TO the dinner were going out
at Washington. The president will not
give up his trip to Charleston, but will
go there after Prince Henry leaves.

WASHINGTON, d. C, Feb. 12.-The
postoffice department began today put
ting in force the order of the president,
which directly affects nearly $4,000 fourth
class postmasters, and which is likely to
arouse the hostility of many congress-
men.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Bristow
has announced that all fourth class post
masters, which includes all having a
salary Of less than $1,000, will not be
subject to removal by congressman ex-
cept for cause and on charges filed.
Heretofore it has been customary at
the end Of a four-year term for con-
gressmen to fill their places by the re-
appointment of the incumbent or by a
new appointment. This plan enables con-
gressmen to reward political friends ano
punish enemies. The new order, an ap-
plication of presidents merit ideas de-
