MRS. ROOSEVELT HAS A
CARVED MAKOGONY BED.

There has recently been completed
to the order of Mrs. Roosevelt and
delivered at the white house a mas
sive carved mahogany bed which is
generally admitted to be one of the
handsomest pieces of furniture pro-
duced in the United States in some
years.
This new bed, which was designed
in accordance with suggestions
made by Mrs. Roosevelt is expected
to inaugurate a fad for the revival
of handsome wooden beds in place
of the ornamental brass and iron
beds which have been in favor for
some years past

would be as great as the number

east The applications were then in

per route in cases of this sort was
as close to 100 as possible, the aver
age being from Is to S5. 1t has been
Mr.. Bristow's policy to construe the
1OO-family rule literally, which has
practically shut off new routes in the
northwest, and. indeed, in the entire
country beyond the Missouri.
Meanwhile if the people of the west
are wondering who is to blame for
the lack of new routes, they must
look to the fourth assistant postmas-
ter general, with whom our congress
men have been able to do very little
business of any sort.

RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES.
Congressman Spalding Takes the
Matter of Rural Free Delivery
Routes Up with the Postoffice De-
partment

Washington. Nov l2-North Dako-
ia has only thirty-four rural free de-
livery routes. or seventeen for each
! congressman There are 10000 routes
! in the country, or an average of thirt!
! for each congressman. This point
was made to the postmaster general
and his fourth assistant today by
Representative Burleigh F. Spalding
of North Dakota, who wants to have
the number of routes in his state in
creased Since the 100-family regu-
lation went into effect, little has been
done in the rural free delivery line in
any of the western states. Population
is so widely separated by ranches and
big farms. that it is out of the ques-
ton for any carrier to serve 100 fam
lilies on any one route. Mr.. Spalding
hopes his visit to the postoffice de-
partment will soon bear fruit He made
a good point in his discussion with
the postmaster general. and that Of
ficer promised to take it up with the
fourth assistant at once. MIR. Spald
ing holds that the 100 0-family rule is
all right for thickly settled farm com
munities where the average OF five
in a family holds good. But on the
big farms and ranches of the west
Ii. ;c aI
Dakotas and Montana-there are from
fifteen to twenty-five farm hands in
addition to the average of five in
family, making the total number to
be served on 100 family route great
" in excess of the number to be sim
ilarly served in the more heavily set
tied small farm sections farther east
Mr.. PAYNE listened with interest to
Mr.. Spalding and his promise to take
the point up with Mr.. Bristow may
lead soon to a modification of the 100
family rule for states like North Da-
kota
In addition to the thirty four routes
already established, North Dakota has
applications pending for almost hun
dred more, and all of these latter have
been held up since the removal of
Superintendent Machen. When Mach
en- was in authority, it was easy to
secure rural routes in the west. All
that was necessary was an affidavit to

Constantnople recently presented a
Joint note to the porte insisting on
Turkeys acceptance with brief de-
lay of the Austro-Russian plan for ad-
ministering the reforms in Macedonia
The note does not fix the limit for the
delay, so it is not considered to be an
ultimatum, but the insistence of ac-
Non with brief delay is regarded as
showing the imperative nature of the
communication. Although no resort
to coercive measures is suggested, ac-

1t is understood that these are likely
to follow if the delay is protracted.

DISORDER in CHICAGO STRIKE
Three Thousand Employees of Chicago CITY
Railway are Out and Many Cases of
Disorder.

Chicago. Nov 13-At a. m the
long expected and often deferred
struggle between the union employees
of the Chicago City railway and the
company began and when the resi-.
dents of the South and Southwest
sides of the city started for their
places of business they were without
their usual transportation facilities.
Beginning at midnight the trainmen
gradually took their cars to the seven
barns of the company scattered
throughout the system and left them
there In the shops, barns and power
houses the union workers laid down
their tools and quit, declaring that
they will remain idle until the COM
pany consents to arbitrate the issue
that brought on the controversy.
Notwithstanding statements by Of
fcials of the company that no attempt
would be made to run cars except for
postal service few passenger cars
were started early on various lines.
The result was trouble almost in.
stanter, the first instance reported be-
ing the intimidation and fight of a
nonuniOn crew on the Cottage Grove
Avenue line. The cars were without
passengers.
Many Policemen on Duty.
With general orders to remain in
reserve and take no part in the strike
unless ordered and then only to pro-
tect property details of police were
sent to the various car barns In all
205 policemen were detailed to the diff
ferent car barns.
Early in the morning efforts were
made by the street car company to
move passenger cars with nonunion
crews. Four trains were started on
the Cottage Grove Avenue cable line
bound toward the business district.
AT FOrtieth street an obstruction upon
the rails blocked the trains. A crowd
OF strikers had assembled and shouts
and jeers greeted the train crews. 4
shower Of stones followed and car
windows were demolished.
One man. a nOnunion conductor. is
said to have been injured in the first
clash. A mail car following the first
passenger train was also derailed near
the scene of the blockade.
A car on the Wentworth Avenue line
proceeded north with little difficulty
until Van Buren street was reached.
There its progress was blocked by
trucks and delivery wagons, which
gathered by the score, locked wheels
and refused to move. Cars Of the
Union Traction company also helpe'
to make the blockade complete. Thou
