Elijah Spencer.

Elijah Spencer, 80. died Sunday af-
ter an illness with the grip which be-
gan last December. He was born in
Wilmington March 30, 1914. and was
the sixth and last surviving of nine
children of Abner and Lois (Torrey)

markable for mental and physical Wig
or, absolute integrity and the highest
type of Christian life. Among his
brothers were two eminent clergymen
Rev. Thomas Spencer of Indiana and

was a farmer, following the same oC-
cupation as his father, and was a typi-
cal American citizen of the best type.
He was prominent in the Methodist
church for 20 years and lived through
out his long life with malice toward
none, with charity for all" No per-
son ever spoke i'll of him. and it was
mete that his life should come to it's
close in the quietude of the Sabbath
day so typical of his whole life. He
was twice married, his first wife being
l.oisa Metcalf of Wilmington, who died
As years ago. Three children by the
first marriage survive. They are Mrs.
d. l.. Milliken of Maiden, Mass, Mrs.
George E. Crowell of Brattleboro and
Councilman S. M. Spencer of Maiden.
His second wife, Susanna A. Fitch of
Wilmington, survives with one son,
S. E. Spencer of Boston. Mr.. Spencer
also leaves II grandchildren and eight
great grandchildren. The funeral was
held at the house Wednesday morn
ing, Rev. F. w. Lewis, of the Methodist
church. officiating. The burial was in

A Happy Indian.

Senator Spooner recently was asked by
constituent in northern Wisconsin to
expedite the payment of an annuity of
sl2Vo to a Chippewa Indian on the Lac
Court dOreilles reservation, and he did
so. The plea was made that the Indian
was in need of supplies for the cold win
ter that was at hand. and his squaw and
pappooses would freeze or starve If the
government was not prompt in paying
up. Not long afterward the Senator re-
ceived letter from the constituent, say
ing that everything had worked out all
right. The Indian received his 1920
promptly, and had gone to town, twenty
miles away, and purchased a big black
hearse with fine large plumes on it, He
also secured fairly good team of horses,
and, putting his squaw and six pappooses
inside the hearse had driven around town
perfectly pleased. When last seen he
was headed for the reservation probably
the happest Indian in the woods.

LEADERS ALL READY
FOR THE HOUSE CAUCUS
Ship Subsidy One of the Principal
Measure Under Consideration
for Caucus Action.

Representative -Loudenslager Of New
s-rsey. who is to call the caucus of Re
publicans Saturday night. arrived in the
city today. He had a conference with
Speaker to-be Cannon. at which the
matters to be discussed were talked
over.
The caucus is to go over the whole
legislative program of the extra session
and part of the regular. One Of the
matters to come up is the possibility of
the passage OF ship subsidy bill, which
was one of the issues in Ohio, where
Senator Hanna rolled up the largest ma
iority ever won in the Buckeye State.
As the Senator is pledged to such bill,
and the people have sustained him AZ
the polls. IL is regarded as probable he
bill is going through The fact that
such a measure is TO be introduced has
been announced positively.
Senator Frye of Maine. who is also an
advocate of subsidies, is expected TO
reach the city tomorrow, when the draft
of the bill may be made public. 1t was
said today should the proposed bin be
made a caucus measure. It cannot fail
of passage.
Representative Cannon said this morn
ing the subsidy might be discussed at
the caucus, but he could not say any
thing definite about it.

STRIKERS DETERMINED
TO WIN THEIR CONTEST

There was little change today in the
strike of the Allied Building Trades
men, $50 of whom left their work on
four Washington buildings yesterday be-
cause non-union men were employed.
It was said by Contractor Duhey. with
whom the laboring men are said to have
originated their trouble. that the places
of all the strikers would be filled at
once.
E J. Ratigan. of the Allied Trades,
announced that this would be impOssi-
BILE. de said:
re do not purpose to give in one
scinIilIa until Mr.. Duhey discharges his
non-union men and grants US confer
ence. so that we can come TO some
agreement"
The Upholsterers' Union called out all
of the men following that craft in
the city yesterday afternoon. The union
has been lighting for some time for a
reduction Of hours from nine 10 eight,
with the same per diem pay, which is
s. This was denied them until yester-
day. when the employers saw the work
men meant business and then acceded
TO the demand. The majority OF houses
agreed TO the terms of workmen, and
theyH went back TO work this morning.
The new system win probably not be-
come operative until December l.

LONDON MUCH INTERESTED
IN THE REVOLUTION

London is displaying much interest in
the Panama revolution. English dis
patches show that all London papers
believe the United States desires the
success of the revolution. Although no
paper expresses objection t. the solu-
ton of the canal problem by means of
Panama republic, several papers
have indicated that such a movement
is not in the interest of civilization. II
not actually absorbed by the United
States, London papers believe Panama
