SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT.
E. A. Merritt, Jr., Gives Out a
Statement in New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. PIE. A. Mer-
rift, Jr., candidate for the Republican
nomination for speaker of the New
York state assembly, gave out a state
ment ON the speakership fight last
night in which he said that "the Hig-
gins leaders, thought they could create
a new board of control with Governor
Higgins as dictator or boss. Mr.. Mer-
ritt's statement is appended:
MANY inquire why a contest, proper
enough in the Republican@tate conven-
ton, should be brought into the organi-
zation of the state assembly. The
eason is plain. An orderly and decent
administration of affairs in the assem-
bly, and the passage of wholesome legis-
lation this winter in that body would
be to some extent to the credit of the
Republican organization. The facts
ELECTED in the course of the insurance
investigation have caused deep distrust
on the part of the public, and the need
for appropriate legislation is evident.
whatever of virtue there may be is
desired to go to the credit of Governor
Higgins. The Higgins leaders - AL
bridge, Hendricks, Kilburn, Franchot
and others-think to establish a new
board of control with the governor as
leader, dictator or boss. There is to be
no room for anybody who has hereto
fore done the work of the Republican
party in the legislature under either
the leadership of former Governor
Odell Or of Senator Plat.
1.-THE change is designed to be as
sweeping as the reorganization Of the
Scottish church. historically known a

SANTA CLAUS CANTATA
AT STATE GIRLS HOME,

TRENTON, Dec. 27:-Santa Claus
on his annual round, reached the
state home for girls in this city last
evening, and his visit was attended
by various doings which was one of
the biggest events in the history of
the institution. The program in
cluded vocal and instrumental music,
a pretty cantata, several speeches and
a gift distribution. Over 100 citi-
zens attended.
The exercises took place in the
school room, which was finely deco
rated with evergreens hung in pic
turesque festoons and twined around
the chandeliers. In one corner was
a huge Christmas tree g~littering with
gold and silver ornaments and load
ed with gifts. The stage was trans
formed into a winter scene which
made a pretty background for the
cantata.
Thomas B. Holmes, treasurer of
the board of trustees, in a short
speech, welcomed the guests on be-
half of the trustees, the instructors
and the school. The musical pro-
gram included a piano duet by Mrs.
H. G. Birkholz, musical instructor,
and Olive Spear; several carols by
the school, and instrumental selec-
lions by Club No. l, composed of six
colored girls. Though it has been
but three months since the study of
music was introduced in the school
the progress shown was surprising.
Every selection was enthusiastically
~applauded.
The cantata was called "Old-Fash-
toned Santa Claus" and was a ser
les of pretty pictures. with catchy
songs, sprightly dialogue and fancy
evolutions, the whole making a pleas
ing presentation. The characters
were Santa Claus, Jack Frost, elves,
fairies, flower girls and many others.
The characters were all appropriate
ly costumed. The cantata was plan
ned and directed by Mrs. Birkholz
and Miss Adele easier, the physical
instructor.
AT the close of the program short
addresses were MADE by captain JOnn
F. Loyett and George F. ~Applegate,
both of whom live near the home;
former Trustee Martin c. Ribsam,
Trustee John D, Rue and Treasurer
Holmes. All congratulated the home
on the progress made during the past
year. Alfred Carnagy, one of the
trustees, introduced the speakers and
made a few remarks himself He pre-
dicted that the next six months as the
last year they would be able then TO
give an entertainment worthy of
presentation in Taylor opera house.
The gifts distributed consisted of
fruit, candy, picture frames, dolls
and other suitable articles. Mrs.
Elizabeth Y. Il. Mansell, the super
intendent, was. In charge Of the girls.

A MISSING
PRESIDEN T..
SantO Domingo on the Verge Of
a Revolution Morales Said
TO Have Been Shot.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Santo Do
mingo seems to be on the verge of a
peculiar revolution. President Morales,
dissatisfied with the support of his
cabinet, has left the capital, Santo Do
mingo city, with a few followers, and
it Is said that his intention is to estab-
llsh a new capital and cabinet, thereby
forming a new government. The state,
the war and the navy departments
have been informed of the trouble.
The cabinet sent troops after Mo-
rales. These forces, pursuing, encoun-
tered him, with sixty men, near San
Crlstobal and exchanged shots. 1t is
said that Morales was wounded in the
leg.
Vice President Caceres has dispatch
ed a commission to Monte Cristi ON the
United States warship Dubuque to con-
fer with Demetrio Rodriguez there.
1t is admitted that if Morales is driv-
en- out and if the island is to be dis
turbed by q long revolution the scheme
of President Roosevelt to continue the
modus vivendi and collect the customs
must fail.
At Puerto Plata there seems already
to have been trouble, the captain of the
port being shot, wounded and captured.
Whether there is any connection be-
tween the affair at Puerto Plata and
the departure from the capital of Presi-
dent Morales is not quite clear. As
understood in Santo Domingo city, Mo
rales Is on his way to join the Jimenis-
tas, party Of Jimenez, in opposition to
the Horacistas, Horacio's followers.
A conflict between the two factions
is expected soon, probably in the vicin-
ity of San Juan or Puerto Plata. This
information makes 1t seem that the
movement at Puerto Plata was in con-
cert with the departure Of Morales
from Santo Domingo city.
No one here will predict the outcome.
1t has been known all along that Mo-
rales is nothing more than a figurehead,
and he is likely to be thrown out of
office.
If lawless acts are committed against
Americans and American interests or

ton of the Dominican customs by this

which in the opinion of the officials
here would make it proper for this gov
eminent to interfere this step will be
taken and measures adopted to quell
the trouble. This decision was reached
by the state department officials and
III
White House, in which the president
and Secretaries Root, Taft and Bona
parte participated.

fred Wiltse of this city is the mother of
a three-day-old daughter which, she

father is employed in the New York
