The senate chamber was crowded and

Foraker arose. His statement was very
brief and formal owing to his emotion
He said the death of Senator Hanna
was mourned by all his countrymen,
B. his political associates, not only
because he was a great organizer and
leader, who repeatedly led his party to
victory, but more especially because
he held the affection of his fellows
and reigned in their hearts as favor
lite; by his political opponents because
they were generous enough to exper-
fence sorrow when brave man falls,
and because they recognized in him IA
bold and fearless foeman, who COM
manded their respect and excited their
admiration.
He then offered resolutions of sorrow
and respect, which provided for the
appointment of committees to arrange
and attend the funeral, and further
that the expenses incurred were to
be paid from the contingent fund
They also provided for an invitation to
the house to participate, and for the
extension of invitations to the presi-
dent, his cabinet, the diplomatic corps
and general stats of the army and
navy.
A committee of Is was appointed to
arrange the funeral service in the
senate chamber, and extend invita-
tions, then the senate adjourned as a
mark of resnect.

practiced in many towns Of Idaho
and in most of the states where the
crime is not punished by imprison-
ment, and where the authorities are
not too strict in the enforcement of
the laws.
There is class of people who think
they must gamble to make life worth

Short Ride From Spokane.
Occur dAlene City is 80 miles from
Spokane and the new trolley line viii
soon be in position to make the run
in one hour. The building of this line
has caused the gamesters to take new
lease on their plans, and not only are
they interested but many business
men realize where they can swell the
receipts of their establishments.
Also the Women.
In addition, another startling fact
has come to light. When the minis
tiers won such complete victory
against vice, the proposition to move
to Occur d'Alene was brought up by
some of the tenderloin element. Little
encouragement was received but the
suggestion was made that if the "closed
town" element could be DEBATED at the
coming election, with the assistance
of the gamblers. the plan ito move to
Occur dAlene would become possible.

Is there a plan on foot to make
Occur d Alene City small-sized Monte
Carlo? Developments brought to the
surface these last few days would in
dicate it. Such an effort was made
early last summer but there was then
and is now "closed town" element
in power which frustrated the attempts
of Spokane and other gambling men
to turn the famous summer resort into
the contemplated gambling center of
the northwest.
The matter seems now to have again
been taken up by local and coast sport
ing men. Action has been fastened
bv the fact that the beautiful little
pleasure resort is to have another
election, A determined effort will
Immediately be made to defeat this old
"closed town" element at the coming
election and put men in the council
who will not insist that the town be
closed to the sporting element. The
Press has it on the best of authority
that sporting men of that summer
resort have communicated with local
people to obtain assistance with which
to fight the reelection of the party
now in power.
Much will depend upon this fight.
From financial standpoint it were
better for the "open town" people to
control that village and there are many
residents of the lake who insist that
during the past year things have not
gone as well as they might.
Bring Prosperity.
Now, that there is ready transporta-
ton people will flock into the town
from outside points, and if gambling
could be carried on there assertion has
been made that within the next year
the place would boast a most wonder
full growth, and its surroundings would
be opened up in manner truly sur
prising If things are brought to pass
in accordance with the desires of the
sporting men, all the gambling para
phernalia now laying idle in this city
will be taken to the lake, and not only
one large place but several, will be
started where those of a sportive tenn
permanent may risk money as they
choose, on the turn Of card or the
spin of wheel.
1t is a common question heard in
this city, "Why do the old gamblers
remain in this vicinity instead of seek
ing new helds?" The Occur d'Alene
situation may account for it; but
whether the waiting Of these gamblers
will be rewarded as they desire will
be determined at this election.
Local gambling leaders deny that
there is any truth in the statement
but they absolutely refuse to 60 into
details or tell why the plan is not
feasible-they refuse to have anything
to say, touching on the subject.

FROM MONOPOLY.

Paris, Nov. 24.---Former Premier
Meline, in an article published recent
ly makes an interesting contribution
to the problem of the emancipation OF
the European industry from the Am
erican cotton monopoly, He represents
the cultivation Of cotton in the French
and British colonies as the sole
means of averting repetition Of the
recent threat Of a cotton famine. and
of meeting the approaching peril aris-
ing from the steadily increasing abb
sorption of the cotton supply by the
growth Of the industry in the United
States.
II America is allowed to retain the
present monopoly of the raw material
Meline cannot see how she can be pre-
vented from one day exporting 1t all
in the form Of manufactured articles
On that day, he says, the European
cotton industry would cease to exist
1t is indispensable to lose no time II
the peril is to be diverted.

SENSATIONAL
STORY OF WEST VIRGINIA POL
iTics-To DEFEAT SENATOR
SCOTT.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. pa
story that has created sensation In
state politics comes from Charleston
and is to the effect that Governor
White has positive pledges from a ma
jority of the legislature to vote for
the defeat Of Senator N. 3. Scott whose
prominent part in the national cam
paign as a member OF the committee
is still fresh In the minds of his con-
stituents.
The game is alleged to be that the
members of the legislature who are to
vote for White are either to be APP
pointed tax assessors by the state tax
commissioner to- be selected by Gov
ernor White or are to name the tax
assessor in their respective counties.
It is said that the wife of Warden Had
dox of the penitehtiary Sunday made
a personal appeal to Governor White
not to appoint her husband as state
tax commissioner claiming that Mr.
Haddox has position chat pays him
far more than the position that the
governor had slated him for. 1t is said
that should deadlock occur in the
legislature for Uhited States senator
~. l.. Caldwell of Huntington will be
the logical candidate and that the
Democrats would then support Cald-
well as against White and Scott.

100000 PLACES
MAY BE FILLED BY PRESIDENT
AT BEGINNING OF HIS
N NEW TERN

Washington, d. c., Nov 24-Omcial
Washington is agitated over the fear
that the presidents two term policy
may be extended to include federal
Office holders. There have been whis-
perings from those who come from the
White House, that the president seems
to believe that eight years of service
ought to suffice for certain class o.
government employees.
1t is customary for members Of the
cabinet, the numerous secretaries, and
officers In the diplomatic and consular
service to tender their resignation to
the president when the latter is inau-
gurated. 1t has been the practice OF
the president to re-appoint the great
majority Of these officials. If the mas
ters and those high in the customs and
other service must bow to the two
term idea, there would be almost
100000 places to be filled under the
new administration.

.OVER S70OOOOO
Total Indebtedness Of
AuItman Co., Says Re-
Ceiver Sullivan.
ASSETS ARE $1644O7O

Cleveland, Nov. 24.--The report of
J. j. Sullivan, receiver for the Ault-
man Co., Of Canton, which recently
failed, was filed in United States dis
trict court yesterday.
1t shows the total appraised assets
Of the colIpany to be S1,644, ,070; total
direct liabilities $89O,003; contingent
liabilities of Endorsements Of jobDers'
notes, including those for the Western
Supply Co., the Cedar Rapids Supply
Co., the E. T. Kenny Co., The Kenyon
Rosing Co, amount TO ,S2, ,4s3. .9O2; cop
tingent liabilities as ifdorsers for the
Arctic Machine Co., together with mis-
cellaneous trade paper, $3,77o,426. To
tal direct and contingent liabilities,
according to the report, are $7,144,33l.
Receiver Sullivan said it was un-
certain as to what the creditors would
realize. He was inclined to think.
however, that the Aultman creditors
would receive from 20 to 80 cents on
the dollar. This much would be re-
allied on a fair estimate from the
Aultman property alone and not in
cluding anything from the auxiliary
companies.
Mr.. Sullivan said he believed con-
siderable amount of the paper of the
various branch concerns indorsed by
the Aultman company would be liqui.
dated.
