A Shame.

Secretary Wilson Is a harmless, dull
old bureaucrat, who has held the az.

From White House

SHAMOKIN, Pa, December 12.-Coming
direct from the White House from an au-

ell, president of the United Mine Workers,
reached here today to preside over the tri-

he will make his headquarters until the con-

trip to Washington, and denied that it
would have any bearing on the conventions s
action. He said:
MY call yesterday was as one Of a COM
mittee of five, representing the Civic Fed
GRAFTON. We discussed the Chinese immi-
grafton laws. l remained behind to talk
with President Roosevelt, but from any
thing that passed between us / would not
know that he is even aware that the award
of he strike commission is about to expire.
have read in the newspapers statements
to the effect that We discussed coal mine
conditions at different times when / called
on the President but that Is not SO. l have
not mentioned coal mine matters to the
President since the commission announced
its award 1t would be presumptious in me
to mention the subject to him, as he has not
even broached the subject to me-
President Mitchell denied the published
reports of 'tacit agreement between the
operators and miners. The conditions he
said, are the same today as when he toured
the region some time ago.

Indirect News Says There is No Cause
for Alarm

NEWPORT. R. l., December 12-The anx-

tinued absence of news from the gunboat

COMING ARMY CHANGES.
Proposed That Gen. Weston Shall Sue.
ceed Gen Bates as Chief of Staff

A change has occurred in the slate of
prospective changes in the army resulting
from the coming early retirement of Lieut.
Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff. The proposed
change involves the detail of Mai Gen.
John Weston to be chief of staff, with no
increase of rank, on the retirement of Gen
Bates in the late spring, in place of Mai
Gen. Arthur Macarthur. It is not vet
known who will be assistant chief of staff
while Gen. Bates holds the Office OF chief
of staff, or whether it is intended to detail
Gen. Weston to that duty as preliminary
step toward his detail as chief of staff 1t
is also a matter of speculation as to
whether Gen. Weston or Gen. Macarthur
will succeed to the lieutenant generalcy on
the retirement of Gen. Corbin. Gen
Weston retires for age in November, 1909
and Gen. Macarthur retires for age in June
of the same year, SO that the promotion of
Gen. Weston would deprive Gen MacAr-
thur of further advance In the ordinary
course of events. But 1t Is said to be pos
sibie that Gen. Macarthur may be given
the lieutenant generalcy and Gen. Weston
continued in the office of chief of staff for
the remainder of his term OH the active list
without further promotion.

Rioting in the Jewish Quarter.
ROBBED POST OFFICE
EUGENE T. HOOVER SHORT 81. 500
IN HIS ACCOUNTS.

Eugene T. Hoover, an $500 clerk at the
Station post Office in this city, today COM
fessed to the theft of approximately 81, 500
from the postal funds. The confession was
made in a letter to John W. Cotter, SUPER
intendent of the station, but all efforts to
apprehend Hoover have failed At late
hour this afternoon he was still at large,
but the postal officials are not much wor-
ried, in view of the fact that Hoover was
bonded in the sum of 5000.
From the letter and from an examines
ton of the books the officials are of the
opinion that Hoover has been falsifying hia
accounts for some time. Last night Mr.,
Cotter thought he would check up after
Hoover had quit work, and 20 his amaze-
ment he discovered a shortage on the day
of $3.50 Further investigation showed
further shortage, and ii his letter Hoover
estimated his peculations at 81 800.
Hoover Is twenty-six years old, mar
ried and has one child. He appointed
from the civil service eligible list July j,
1902, and has borne a good record. In his
letter to Mr.. Cotter he stated that his
downfall was caused by the horse races.
He had bet all his money. and in an enc
deayor to recoup had resorted to embezZies
ment.

BOSTON CITY ELECTION
UNIQUE FEATURE TO BRING OUT
THE VOTE TODAY.

BOSTON December 12.-An unprecedented
effort to bring out the voters popularity
known as the stay at homes was a pre-
dominating feature of the city election here
today after one of the most interesting con-
tests in the history of Boston.
One of the republican candidates at the
primaries. former Judge Henry s. Dewey,
declined to abide by the result of the eau
Gus. at which Louis A. rockingham was
nominated and is candidate al the polls
today on nomination papers. Former Rep
resentatye John f. Fitzgerald is the demo-
cratic nominee, and the other candidates
are James a. Watson, municipal ownership,
and George S. Hall, socialist. While Judge
Dewey predicted his own election, condi-
tionS appear to favor the success either of
the republican the democratic nominee.
An unusually large number of rallies, with
final Speechmaking last night, when Candi-
date Fitzgerald addressed voters in every
one of the twenty-five wards in the city
closed this remarkable canvass. The cit
zens committee, formed of both republi-
cans and democrats, worked in the interest
of rockingham.
Next to the mayoralty question interest
centered largely in the selection of a school
committee, which, under recent law is
reduced from twenty-four to five members.
Elections in Eighteen Other Cities.
Elections also are being held In eighteen
other Massachusetts cities, In all but two of
which a mayor is be chosen. The license
question Is also to be decided.
