FEARS GROSSCUP
PLAN IS Is UNWlSE [!
Dean Rogers Says He breads
Further Concentration of Power
in Government.
Journal Special Service.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 22.-In a
letter to Ellery Sedgwick, editor of the
American Illustrated Magazine, Dean
Henry Wade Rogers of Yale law school,
opposes the article in that magazine for
December on federal regulation Of
trusts. He says: -.- %<s
81 dread any further concentration Of
power in the national government. I
think that in that way lies danger. I
am Of the conviction that the president
has now all the power it is wise to con-
fer upon him, and I should deem it un-
wise to give him the right to supervise
the corporations and give the corpor-
ations Of this country added reasons for
desiring to dictate who shall be nomin-
ated and elected to the office of presi-
dent, or any added reasons for desiring
to control the changes. I think the po-
litical pendulum has swung too far
already in the direction Of centralized
government.
':But the time is certainly at hand
when the people should put an end in
every state where it exists it ex-
lists in number-to the corporate con-
troll over state legislatures and laws
? should be enacted not as the corpora
tions demand, but as the real interests
of the commonwealth require.'

Escanaga, Mich, Nov. 22.-In sa-
loon fight near Ford River last night,
Alexander Gravel was shot and instant
ly killed and Richard Gravel, a brother,
was shot thru the head and cannot re-
cover.
The shooting was done by William
Lind, bartender, who attempted to
separate the brothers and another bar
tender who were engaged in a fight on
the floor. Lind made no attempt to
escape. He was arrested and brought
to this. city last night.
. According to stories told by eye
witnesses. Richard Gravel was astride
Frederickson, the other bartender, with
one hand at his throat and the other
tearing his left eyes and making des-
perate attempts to-. bite. Alexander
Gravel, they say, was standing near
and kicking Frederickson s head
- Lind then apepared with a revolver
and commanded the brothers to stop.
Gravel, it is said, attempted to strike
Lind, and a bullet was sent crashing
thru his brain. He fell to the floor and
died instantly. Lind commanded the
other sbrother to get up and when he
paid no attention to the command, "a
second shot was fredj and Richard Gra-

SCOTT TO REMAIN
TO END OF YEAR.
President Will Then Take Up the
Appointment Of Agent at 81
Leech Lake. VI
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Inquiry at
the interior department and the Indian
office today showed that Major Scott
has not been reappointed agent at
Leech Lake, and the probability is that
no action will be, taken on this ques-
tion for some time. When the order
placing Major Scott on the retired list
of the army was issued, desire was
expressed by both Secretary Hitchcock
and Commissioner Leupp to have his
detail as Indian agent extended under
the new status. Careful examination
of law showed that this could not be
done, however, and that it would re-
as civilian agents are appointed, by
nomination to the senate. The investi-
cation also included the question
whether the act of his having been
placed" on the retired list ended his
detail automatically, and on that point
it was decided that he could serve for
the full four-year term. This will ex-
pire Dec. 81, and Major Scott will GER
tainly remain until that date. It is
expected that, before the end Of the
year, the president will decide whether
he will send Major Scott's name to the
senate and take chances on overcoming
the opposition of the Minnesota sena-
tors, or whether he will appoint a civil
ian recommended by Senators Nelson
and Clapp. 1t is said that the presil
dent is satisfied with Major Scott IS ad.
ministration of affairs at Leech Lake,
and the indications are that he would
like to appoint him if he could see his
way clear to doing so. =.

Political Disturbances in Panama

Washing ton Is NoV. 22.-Po Politica1 dis
turbances I'M i Panama as a result Of the
approaching election, are expected by
administration officials and others in
terested in the new republic. !, Informa-
tion has reached here that an outbreak
has already occurred which was encour-
aged and managed by the liberal party
leaders. The advices are Of vague
and indefinite character and contain
no details as to the possible uprising
or whether it has been suppressed.
Senor Obaldia, the minister from
Panama, declares he is entirely with
out adyices on the subject. He does
not believe any serious disturbances
have taken place. 49, .~-. -.
A memorial was presented. to Secreta-
ry Taft when on the isthmus recently,
declaring that unless the liberals were
given "a square deal' in the approach
ing elections, bloodshed would follow.
Government officials here believe the
liberal party leaders are men of such
high character and education that they
would not .countenance, much less en-
courage, violence. They do not con-
slider a revolution as possible. Any
disorders of that nature would be
promptly suppressed by. the force of
American marines maintained on the
isthmus for the purpose, of upholding
the existing government. The cleo
tlons occur within a month.

BEST FOR HEARST
TO LOSE CONTEST
Martyrs Pose from Loss of
Mayoralty Would Help the
. M. 0. Mans Cause.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. Pit would be
far better for Hearst s political future,
it is believed in this city, if he is not
successful in his contest with Mcclellan
for the Office of mayor of New York.
His performance in that office would be
SO far short of his promises in the. cam
paign as, to rate him below Mayor
Te RGns Of ecusd Gs's o exnszsgna EheSs
paign pledges is matter of common
knowledge over the country. In order
for anything to be accomplished in the
way of municipal ownership in New
York, it will be necessary for the leg
islature at Albany to give it's assent,
and for the governor to sign the bill.
The legislature and governor are usu-
ally republican, and the republican
party in the state has never been in
sympathy with the Hearst brand Of
of mayor, and by posing as martyr
before the people, Hearst would add
immeasurably to his following, and
make himself a very prominent figure
in the presidential campaign of 1908.
The Republican Leader.
There has been, of late, little discus
sion of the presidential ambitions of
Vice President Fairbanks and Secretary
Shaw, and their bOoms threaten to die
from inanition, unless something can
be done to galvanize them into life.
Neither has made any showing that
can be called promising, and public
sentiment, so far as it has crystallized,
seems to demand the nomination of men
Of much stronger types than either.
With Hearst leading a government
ownership ticket in 1908, and Bryan
heading that sort. of a platform in the
democratic party, the republicans, if
hoping for success, it is believed, would
hardly feel justified in picking any such
man as Fairbanks or Shaw as a stand
ard-bearer.
Practically all talk of republican
candidates has been for some time con.
fined to Taft and Root: Jerome, when
widely known over the country, it is
claimed by New Workers, will be found
to lack several Of the traits of char.
acter essential in strong presidential
candidates. While conceding that he
has done really wonderful work in
that city, it is pointed out-and this by
men who have no prejudice against
him-that he is vainglorious, volatile
whimsical and eccentric to an unusual
degree. He is even accused of being
at heart insincere.

st. Louis is again consumed by curl
osity because it cannot solve the latest
Van Auken mystery. Yesterday it was
reported that w. j. Van Auken, for
merly Of Minneapolis, was about to re-
marry his wife after seven years hon
eymoon. He actually did marry some
body and says it was his wife. His
wife says he did not marry her or any
body else. Justice Cronin says he per-
formed ceremony that made Van
Auken and a person said to be Winnie
May Warren, man and wife. The whole
Of st. Louis says that somebody is a
liar. .s
When Van Auken startled st. Louis
last month with his automobile esca-
pade, his wife,, formerly Miss Winnie
May Warren Of Minneapolis, was here
visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c..
A. Warren, 517 Ridgewood avenue. At
that time she said she had been married
seven years. Van Auken has since
been in St. Louis sanatorium and she
has been nursing him.

FRENCH SAY CASTRO -...
=. ....= lis SIMPLY BLUFFING

Paris, Nov. 22.-Inquiry at the for
eign office today brought out the state
ment that the report that France ac-
cedes to President Castro's request to
indicate what portions Of the Venezue-
Ian note to M: Taigny, the French
charge, are offensive, are incorrect.
The officials say the president has
heretofore been completely informed
regarding the offensive features Of the
note, and. therefore, the report that
France will give further explanations
is characterized as "a bluff intended to
delay and confuse the situation.''
