The committee also directed the chair
man to appoint a committee OF three 10
draft a platform to be presented 10 the
committee on resolutions of the state con-
vention on oct. 3, and 10 present To the
convention the name Of Hon. John j.
chairman.
The committees action i'm the Bristol
and West Greenwich cases is regarded as
a timely rebuke 10 those pseudo-Demo-
Gratis who for years have traded with
Boss Braytons state machine. and will
undoubtedly be fully indorsed by the
state central committee at its next meet
ing.
New members OF that body will be
chosen from both towns TO dlsplace the
present members, and an aggressive cam
paign will be waged there I'm the interest
of Democracy and the people.
There has long been dissatisfaction
voiced by the decent Democrats or both
towns with the way affairs have been
conducted. the elections being permitted
time -aad again 10 go by default; and, as

fidently relying upon a walkover In Bris-
tol. his home town. with the connivance,
~ not active resistance, of the so-called
Democratic organization. IL was felt that
those citizens OF the town who desired
10 register their votes for Democratic as
sembly candidates should have the oppor-
tunity TO do so.
Already there has been a measure or
success in the town elections which has

given hope that, with the support of the
Lincoln party, strong Democratic assem-
bly, candidates would have at least
fighting chance OF election
The present Democratic town committee
consists OF John McElvogue. member Of
the state committee; Edward f. Christie,
Thomas Brides, Francis Ryan, John
Burns.
In West Greenwich the so-called Demo-
cratic organization has succumbed to the
influence OF Braytonism as typihed by It's
eminent disciple, Judge Elmer j. Rath-
bun, chairman OF the corporations COM
mittee OF the house OF representatives.
The erstwhile leader OF the Democracy
as II has been led i'm the town has been
John c. Franklin, who three weeks ago
was appointed clerk pro TEN. Of the Rath-
bun council meeting.
This was the last straw; and Democrats
who have been fighting intolerable town
conditions felt thai IL was high time to
appeal TO the state committee.
IL is believed that Samuel Kettelle. a
ing the fight against Rathbunism, Will be
n determined battle i'm the interest Of civic
righteousness in the town and state Will
result.
Democrats generally regard the execu-
tive committees action as indicative OF
determination 10 nominate candidates for
the general assembly in every town in
the state this fall; and IL is believed that
elections that heretofore have been per-
mitted to go by default will show some
surprising results next November.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second sojourn In
America, he was at Versailles, where
the King was about to review a division
of troops. Lafayette was asked to join
in the review
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side OF
the Prince de Condo, when the King
in his tour of conversation with the Off
GERS came to him and, after speaking
on several topics, asked him some ques-
lions about his uniform and the mill
tary costume of the United States. The
Kings attention was attracted by q
little medal attached to the generals
coat, and he asked what it was.
Lafayette replied that It was a sym
Dol which it was the custom OF foreign
officers in American service to wear
and that it bore a device.
"And what is the device upon yoursY
asked the King.
"My device" said the young general
pointing to his medal, sis a liberty pole
standing on broken crown and scep
ter"
The King smiled, and with som,
pleasantly upon the republican propen
stiles of a French marquis in American
uniform, turned the conversation int
other channels. Condo looked grave
but was silent.

women Astronomers starne World.

Being proposed to In balloon, is the
latest adventure of a woman astrono-
mer, writes Dewey Sheldon Beebe In
Technical World Magazine And the
women astronomers of to-day have dis
covered more new stars than the mer
Of science have been able to find in sew
eral centuries. But women In astronom-
ical work are not the product of new
world conditions alone, for they have
been Identified with every important
advance In that science. From the time
when the young and beautiful Hypatia
Of Alexandria gave her life a martyr
to science, a tragedy of the fifth cen
fury, to the daring capture of Dorothea
Klumpke while making balloon voy-
age under the auspices of the Paris
Observatory, romance of the TWEEN
tieth century, the story of women and
astronomy is a record of achievement
charged with sacrifice and devotion.
Woman's natural carefulness, system,
caution, accuracy, and love Of detail
have made her indispensable in com
pleting our knowledge Of the constitu-
ton and distribution of the stars. She
has achieved greater success, has met
with more courteous recognition, and
now occupies a more prominent place
In astronomy than in any other branch
of scientific activity. She has added
greatly to our knowledge of the stars
not only through her untiring efforts
and discoveries, but by the inspiration
of her example and the stimulus of hei
devotion.

FRANTIC APPEAL FOR COAL.
Spokane Dealers Hear From Entire
Inland Empire.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 7. = Stimu-
lated by the heavy fall of snow
throughout the Big Bend, Palouse,
Walla Walla and Occur d'Alene coun-
ties last night, local coal dealers were
today flooded with frantic appeals from
Lewiston, Colfax, Davenport, Pullman,
Wallace and other cities for coal.
In response to this demand six
wholesale coal dealers, who supply the
entire territory affected, issued a
signed statement declaring they had
coal here in sufficient quantity to sup
ply the entire Inland Empire, but that
the o. r. & N. and Northern Pacific
railways were refusing or were unable
to furnish cars with which to deliver
the coal. They criticised the railway
for placing them in false light by adj
vertising reduced rates on fuel and an
nounced their intention of appealing to
the Railway commission for an inves-
tigation.

FOR NEW TREATY.
President Roosevelt Said To Be Me-
gotiating One With Japan.

Chicago, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Viscount Aoki, the japanese ambas-
sador, went to the White House yes
terday at the invitation of the presi-
dent. They discussed proposition to
negotiate an entirely new treaty, spe-
officially recognizing the right of each
country to exclude the laborers of the
other.
Such provision is contained in the
present treaty, but the president and
the japanese ambassador thought it
would satisfy the pride of the Japanese
if their right to treat the Americans
as the Americans treat them were re-
cognized.
1t was also believed that a new
treaty would please the people of Cali
fornia and show them that the presi-
dent is prepared to go to the extent OF
excluding coolie japanese if it should
become necessary. Such treaty would
receive but little opposition in the SEN
ate.
1t would almost inevitably be fol.
lowed by a japanese exclusion law bar.
ring out all laborers from the mikado's
islands. Our laborers would thereupor
be barred by Japan.

Friday, December 7.

Washington, Dec. Z. = By practi-
cally unanimous vote the house today
passed the bill limiting the regulation
of interstate commerce between the sew
eral states in articles manufactured by
convict labor or in any prison or re-
formatory. The bill was introduced
by Hunt, of Missouri, practical stone
mason. Under the Wilson bill, which
became a law in 1890, convict labor
made goods may enter into active COM
petition with the goods manufactured
by "free labor" and under this Federal
law state could not pass law that
would prevent the shipping into the
state of prison-made goods of other
states.
The sovereignty of the state was the
subject of earnest debate in the house
today, growing out of the consideration
of bill to establish game preserve OIL
nearly 1000 acres in the Olympus
forest reserve in the state of Washing
ton. The bill was passed without divi
sion.

PRESIDENT CASTRO ILL.
Chief Executive of Venezuela Removed
to Seacoast Town on a Bed.

Fort de France, Martinique, Dec. IL.
Reliable advices here from Venezuela
set forth that President Castro was
moved down to the little seacoast vii
lage of Macuto, near La Guayra, last
week. The president is described as
being very ill. He made the trip from
Caracas in bed. When he arrived at
Macuto, he appeared to be absolutely
unconscious. 1t is generally believed
that he has no chance of recovery.
Violently worded posters have been
circulated in Caracas declaring that no
one is today deceived regarding the
gravity of President Castro's illness,
and insisting that the exercise of the
executive power be assured through a
vice president, which is provided for in
the constitution. For long time
past the poster continued, only routine
government matters have been attended
to, and important questions are being
bel in allegiance.
General Parades, an ex-revolution-
lists, now in exile, is organizing seri
Gus insurrectionary movement, and de-
clares- that he will soon take the field.
He claims to have $4,000 rifles at his
disposition.

Levee is Beaten Down.

Los Angeles, Dec. IL. - Telegraphic
advices today from Yuma to General
Superintendent r. H. Ingram, of the
Southern Pacific, stated that the Colo
RADIO river levee was completely beaten
down and that the flood waters were
pouring uninterruptedly into Salton
sink. The railroad officials have deter
mined upon no definite plan of action.
1t is likely that they will Immediately
begin the building Of a spur track along
the border Of Salton sea, thus antici-
pating the rise in the sea from the river
inflow.

FROM PRESIDENTS VIEW.
Gives5 Reasons for Dismissing Former
Ambassador Storer.

Washington, Dec. IL. - President
Roosevelt tonight made public long
letter addressed to Secretary Root, Civ
ing correspondence between the presi-
dent and ex-Ambassador Bellamy Stor-
er, in which he says that Mr.. Storer's
refusal to answer his letters and the
publication of various private letters
justified the ambassadors removal /;
that Mr.. storer's publication of private
correspondence was peculiarly ungentle-
manly and that he (the presidenD had
stated with absolute clearness his posi-
ton, the reason why it was out of the
question for him as president to try to
get any archbishop made cardinal,
though expressing his admiration for
Archbishop Ireland as well as leaders
of other denomination.
The presidents action follows the
publication of confidential pamph-
let" which Mr.. Storer last week sent to
the president, the cabinet and the SEN
ate and foreign relations committee.

Spokane and other interior points the
advantage of long haul rates. At pres
ent these cities pay the rate from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast, plus the local
rate from the coast back to Boise or

the railroads to give interior points the
same rate as is paid on through ship
ments to the coast.

SHOWS BIG DEFICIT.
Postal Department Runs Behind SlO,-
SIG QQ5 "a In Year.

Washington, Dec. II - The annual
report of Postmaster General Cortelyou
shows receipts for the past year were
$167 1872, 1925, while expenditures
were $l7s, 449, 1850. The deficit is
$40, $40, 995.94.
Tn postmaster general discusses the
deficit but says he is less concerned
about that than about the efficiency Of
the department. He attributes the
failure to show profit to the growing
public demand for increased postal ia
cilities. The deficit is not charged to
any one branch of the service.
The remarkable efficiency of some
departments is commented upon, par
ticularly Of the registry service. For
half century all causes of loss, in.
Guiding burglary, theft and fire, have
shown loss Of only three one-thou-
sandths of per cent. Mr.. Cortelyou
recommends that deputy postmaster
general be appointed, who shall relieve
the burden borne by the postmaster
general and his four assistants. The
department has 800, 900 persons in it,
employ and it is recommended that tn,
deputy's position be made permanent
and that he shall be general manager o
the postal service. Greater accuracy il
statistics is recommended and Mr.. Cor
telyou asks that provision be made TO

bold statement, not feasible except for
