MAY
TAKE A HAND

Strikes are becoming so numerous in
various parts OF the country that an IN
vestigation Of the reasons for the trou-
BILE may be made by the Department of
Commerce and Labor. It was said at
the department this morning that more
men are out in various States than there
have been at any time since the great
coal mine strike.
The most important and dangerous
trouble is said to be that between the
packers and the unions. which may
spread TO all parts of the United States.
and which may result in a beef famine.
rioting and other difficulties. The beef
trust is already being investigated by
the department, but not with a purpose
of ending the strike.
It was said today that President Roose-
welt may instruct Secretary MetcaIf to
try TO see If the packing house trou-
bles cannot be arbttrated.

affected by the butchers strike.
At sll the packing houses the men
were at work as usual. Martin Helmuth,

but business is dull" said the manager
of one concern. Apparently the public
prefers to eat vegetables"
Butchers still notice an increased de-
mand for ham and sausages, etc. Coarse
meats remain the same, but there Is lit

CAN'T SAY WHEN
HE WILL. RESIGN

ESOPUS, July 26.-Chief Judge Parker
is daily asked by the reporters when,
If at all. he intends 10 resign from the
court Of appeals.
Following his rule in regard to ques-
tiCns Of this nature. Judge Parker has
always replied that he would inform the
reporters OF any action he might take
Pursuant to that promise on Satur-
day, when the notification day was an
nCunced, Judge Parker stated that he
had written letters to his associates in
the court asking their views as to the
date of resignation which would best
suit the business Of the court and the
convenience of his feIlow-j judges. Until
replies TO those letters We're received he
would have no further statement 10
make in regard to the date of his resig-
nation.
Intends to Resign.
These statements made it clear that
Judge Parker intends TO resign the
chief justicesbip, and they also left it
an open question as to the date when
his resignation will be filed
The date would be of little Importance
were it not for the provisions of the
State constitution, peculiarly applicable
10 the COGAA u dppCdAS- -<ASNAANA4 SfbS
this year is November s. If Judge Par
ker resigns before August a new chief
Judge will be elected on November s for
full term of fourteen years.
If Judge Parker does not resign until
after August there will be no election
for chief judge this year, but the va
cancy Will be filled by the governor s
appointment Whoever the governor APP
points will serve BY appointment until
January l, 1906, and the election for the
new chief judge will be in November,
Exclusion for Years.
The difference between resigning be-
fore August s, and after August s, IS
that if Chief Judge Parker resigns be-
fore August s. he is precluded for four
teen years from again being chief judge
Of the court Of appeals, unless the sue
cessor elected next November should die
in the meantime or be 50 near the age
Of seventy that he would be shortly re-
tired By the age limit
If Chief Judge Parker resigns after
August there IS nothing whatever 10
prevent him, IL not elected President
from being q candidate in 1866 should
he 50 desire, to ill the vacancy caused
by his own resignation.
Ine constitution provides that an cleo
ton TO ill a vacancy in the court OF
appeals shall be for a full term OF four
teen years. and not simply for the IN
expired term. This is The great point
Of difference between a court of APP
peals vacancy and The vacancy OF most
elective Offices. The constitution also
provides that the election shall be held
at least three months after the vacancy
IS created.
Not Yet Determined.
The decision of this question depends
entirely on the date when Judge Par
ker's resignation is filed. That ques-
ton Judge Parker himself has not yet
determined, and he will not determine
it until he has fully consulted with his
judicial associates, whose views, Opin-
Ions, and wishes he naturally desires 10

PORTRAIT IN OIL
OF JUDGE PARKER

ESOPUS. July 26.-The portrait Of
Judge Parker, for which the squire Of
RosemOnt sat before he was the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Presidency, is a
mystery no more.
1t is finished and accepted and on It's
way TO the Hoffman House TO smile
from the walls OF the national head
quarters upon the Democratic faithful
This portrait was begun on July ). be-
fore the 81. Louis convention had got
into its swing The artist. a Miller Try
Of Fifth Avenue. Manhattan, came up
every day or so. Curious newspaper
men who wondered who he was were al
last told that he was painting the
Judges portrait In oil.
Destination Not Determined.
Was It for the judges home? Was It
for the court of appeals, which has a
gallery of the men who have presided
there before? Was 1t for some close
friend Of the judges in that court?
These questions were smiled away. The
future Of the portrait had not been de-
cided. It was said.
That was literally true. The national
convention was about 10 decide Day
after day. whenever Judge Parker could
spare half an hour between letters and
kilograms and telephones and interviews

portrait in New York.

COMMITTEE HAS CHOSEN

It shows the judge standing before a
bookcase, the shelves Of which are for
the large part concealed by a dark red
curtain. The volumes in sight are New
York law reports and the writings OF
Thomas jefferson. y mahogany table
stands beside the judge. On the table is
volume Of "Cooley's Constitutional
Limitations" wherein the Judge rests
his right hand.
Toward the center of this table, half
hidden by what appears to be n legal
document is a piece, or 4 number OF
pieces, of yellow paper.
Whatever the artist may have intend
ed, or whatever he may have been d.
rected TO paint, there viii be no per
suadmg Of the lay mind that this yellow
paper IS not the semblance Of the IA

Perfect Counterfeit.

Judge Parker IS dressed in a black cut
away coat, black trousers, a white
waistcoat. rundown collar and a
white foUr-in-haEd scarf. Mr.. Miller
Ury's brush has counterfeited the ruddy,
heaIthfUl complexion, the gray hair and
the red mustaChe perfectly.
Art criticism may not be part Of the
business Of an Esopian correspondent,
but it must be observed that the artist
has been swayed by the ideal in painting
the judges eyes and their surroundings,
The judge has fine brown eyes of good
size. and Mr.. Miller-Ury has made them
so shine that the portrait has almost the
appearance Of life, but the brush has
left out the keen, judicial glance which
impresses everyone who meets Judge
Parker.
You can depend on the Democrats who
know Judge Parker TO say when they
see the portrait:
Hes wiser looking than that"
It is not announced here who ordered
the portrait. AS the Hon. William F.
Sheehan is not in Esopus he cannot be
asked who 1t was that had so much con-
hdence IN the judges nomination as 10

convention was started.
