special plea was a surprise to govern
ment officials, although theyw were aware.
Of what would be pleaded in the addi-

The special plea sets up assertions
concerning Investigations by the COM

try of a final decree in the supreme
court, 1.-The said United States did finally

lcaused by aneurism of the aorta.
Simpson had been in i'll health for
at Wichita. The Masonic order will
have charge of the funeral.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The Sage Of

was called, was in many respects one
of the most unique characters which

was swept into the Fifty-second con-
and charged with the task OF reforming
the whole government and living down
the only advance information his col
leagues had of his personality-tbat
he wore no socks.
The latter task he succeeded in ac-
comprising in fact, although he never
quite lost the title "Sockless Jerry"
His legislative accomplishment cons
sisted In turning popular eastern senti-
ment regarding populism from scorn-
ing ridicule to respectful consideration
during his service of six years in the
Flfly-second, Fifty-third and Fifty
fifth congresses, when he was swept
out by another Kansas wave
There was not a question of con-
gressional action during hat time on
which Simpson did not think and on
Which his conclusions were not strilk-

manner of speech We're quaint to the
highest degree. Simpson always tried
to make his adversary look ridiculous
and always threw new light on every
subject. He made a personal friend of
every member of the house. and his
political opponents declared he never
changed his vote on any question of
legislation.

warmest regard for him.
Mr.. Simpson was born in Nova Scotia
March 81, 1912. When 6 years of age
his parents moved to Oneida county

"a sailor, which pursuit he followed for
twenty-three years. During his career

ALICE RETURNS.
Miss Roosevelt with Party Arrive,
from the Orient on the Siberia
and Is on Man Home

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-The Pacific
Mai Steamship Line company's steam
er Siberia arrived at this port direct
from Yokohama in the record breaking
inn of ten days: ten hours and twenty
minutes, the fastest previous trip be-
tween the w places having been mace
by her sister ship, the Korea, in eleven
days, eleven hours and five minutes.
The Siberia's time is twenty-eight
minutes more than that of the En-
press of India's record from the orient
to Puget sound. though the distance
covered was about 275 miles greater.
There We're many distinguished pas
sengers on the Siberia, among them be-
ing Miss Alice Roosevelt. nited States
senator Newlands, of Nevada, and
wife; United States Senator Warren,
of Wyoming; Representative Long
Allen, chief of the Philippine con-
~stabulary; f. H. Hartman. president
of the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany, and general manager of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship company, and
Miss label Boardman and Miss Amy
Mcmillan, of Washington, d.. c., the
latter being travelling companions of
Miss Roosevelt. M. Shoraishi, vice
president of the Togo KEN Kaisha
Japanese steamship line, also came
over from the orient.
Although it was expected that Miss
Roosevelt would spend a few days in
and around San Francisco, all the pre-
vious plans We're changed during the
voyage and neither her party nor that
of Mr.. Hartman landed in this city
at all. Instead they were transferred
from the Siberia to the tug Arab and
taken directly to the Oakland mole on
the eastern side of the bay. They left
there at $3.50 p. m. for the east over the
Central route of the Southern Pacific,
connecting with the Union Pacific and
Northwestern lines via Chicago for
their homes. An attempt is being made
to beat all previous records between
yokohama and the big cities of the
east. .--- -
