VIEWS
ON POLITICS

There is no doubt about Judge Par

strong. conservative. and effective def
milton of his views on public questions"
This tribute of reluctant admiration
was drawn from Representative Curtis
of Kansas. who called TO pay his re-
spects 10 the President at the White
House
However" Mr.. Curtis continued, the
, judge himself confesses that IL he IS
elected it will not be possible for any
thing to be done on the tariff question
for four years, as a Republican Senate

I legislation Under these circumstances
! can't see much reason for electing him
at all"
Il was suggested TO Mr. Curtis that
Judge Parker possibly had not lost all
hope that some good might come out OF
Nazareth" and that he might believe
even Republican Senate, urged and
spurred by a Democratic House and a
Democratic President, could be induced
10 do something about the tariff
Just a Possibility.
We'll. We'll" said the Kansas Con-
gresham; that. of course, is just pos
sible. But Representative Curtis
smiled a rather grim smile.
he said there was no question about
Kansas being for Roosevelt and Fair

said the Republican majority there

feet up the side of a temporary tower

more than two hundred feet high. The
piano makers were leaving work soon
after the last sections had been bolted

DIES IN AN AL MSH0USE.
Henry Fuchs, Formerly of st. Louis
Succumbs to Paralysis mt San
francisco.

San Francisco, May Henry
Fuchs, who made a great fortune by the
invention of barbed wire, and was for
merly a partner of John w. Gates,
died in the almshouse here Wednesday.
Fuchs was at one time one of the
best-known men in st. Louis. After
selling out his interest there, he came
to California about six years ago.
Here he was interested in organizing
an unsuccessful gold-hunting expedi-
ton to Nome.
His last position was a superinten-
dent of the Judson wire mill in Oak
land. Suffering a stroke of paralysis
he became helpless and INDECENT, and
was finally sent to the ~almshouse.
Fuchs claimed that Gates had not
treated him fairly.
