ceive the largest amount Of mileage

more even than Prince Jonah. the
Hawaiian delegate. But Congress put a
clause into the Alaska delegate law. pro-
viding that the delegate from the Terri
tory should be paid only his actual ex-
penses from Alaska TO Seattle. and the
regular mileage from Seattle 10 Wash
ington.
Mr.. Waskey was elected on non
partisan ticket. The Republicans and
the Democrats nominated cand dates for
delegates, but the miners decided they
didn't want any stereotyped politics in
theirs. and put Q ticket OF their own
in The field. II was triumphantIy elected

COLLEGE STUDENT DIsFIGURED
sIattery'E Friends May Prosecute Of
feer Who Struck Him.

The condition Of Jerome Slattery. the
young student who had his nose fractured
by officer Isle. of the First precinct po-
lice station. in an alteration on Pennsyl-
vsnia avenue Saturday night. is consid-
cred serious by the doctors attending him.
II is possible. they say, that he may con-
tract blood poisoning through the wound.
The bones of the nose were driven through
his cheek; he is suffering intense pain,
and it is probable that he may be dis
figured for life. II Is improbable that Of
fetal action in the matter will be taken by
the members Of the Georgetown faculty.
They stated that they have received no
news OF the trouble other than that which
was published in yesterdays papers.
Slattery, it is stated. viii forfeit his col
lateral OF SO which he deposited at the
station house for his appearance in the
Police Court this morning.
The members Of the class Of 1909 viii
hold a meeting tonight to discuss the adj
visibility Of retaining counsel to prosecute
the officer before the courts and the police
trial board. The students say that Slat-
terry is innocent Of any wrongdoing. and
that he was over six feet away from the
officer at the time the latter claims he was
struck by Slattery.

NO RED Hat FOR MGR. FARLEY
Cablegram from Rome Says Such
Action Is Not Contemplated.
Message Comes 10 Washington from
Preiate In Close Touch with
the Vatican.

The following cablegram reached a
member Of the faculty az the Ca holic
University yesterday. IA response TO a re-
quest Tor information In regard 70 the
probability Of the Archbishop Of New
York being made a cardinal deacon.
Rome. Oct 1.-THE rumor that the
Archbishop OF New York. Mgr Farley. is
10 be made cardinal at the next consis-
tory is denied here by a prelate very near
20 the Holy Father and @ friend Of Mgr.
Farley"
The rumors,' said the Washington
man, pain the Archbishop Of New York,
who Is the INST modest Of men.
There viii be no cardinal created for
the Atlantic coast as long as Cardinal
Gibbons lives. and it is most improbable
that another cardinal Will be created in
the West
If the concensus Of cuTiaI opinion could
be made just at present, Archbishop
O'Connen. OF Boston. would be the re-
cipient Of the red nat. He is IN high
favor with his Enlinence Merry de- Val
and the Holy Father. but no new car
dinal will be made. Archbishop Farley
made a deep impression on the Holy
Father at hi. last visit, and knowledge
OF this act has set the Cardinilatc ulmor
afioat in Rome.
Another pTei0te who is in high favor
is Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, Of
whom Plus y speaks most kindly. Not
long ago. in a converse ton. Mgr Merry
del Val, while praising the loyalty of the
church in the United States. suggested
that the claims Of Canada 10 a red nat
might be considered feeble"

Nsvr York, oct eS-Begarding the prog
rtss OF the election OF directors for the
dig nfe insurance companies, the Inter
national Policy Holders Committee IS
ued the following statement tonight;
The tabulation Of the ballots cast for
The fret nine days Of the election is sur
prisngly encouraging for the policy hold
-rs Thus far about 10 per cent of the
QnIire vote OF each company has been
cast IA the form of official ballots sent
70 the officers Of the companies. This is
entirely independent Of the ballots that
have been sent to the Hon. Richard
Olney. the chairman OF our committee.
In view OF the desperate activities Of
the companies and their paid employees
all over the world. it would not be wise
at this time for US to disclose the num-
Der Of ballots held by Mr.. Oiney, as
chairman, nor OF the votes held by the
various members Of The International
Policy Holders Committee in different
sections of the country, such as Judge
Gray, Gen. Tracy, Col. Shook, Mr.. Hig-
ginbotham. Mr. Longworth. and others.
See Signs OF Victory.
If the present ratio is maintained, and
il should be, a most overwhelming defeat
for the administration tickets IN both
companies viii be recorded.
Policy holders must not allow them
selves 10 be mislsd by the DOastful state
ments Of paid employees eanvassing for
the administration tickets. II the entire
vote cast at the home Offices Of the com
panies in the first nine days of this cleo
ton is credited TO the administration
tickets, 1t would represent less than two
thirds of one vote per day secured by
each of the paid employees who are cleo
tioneering at the policy holders expense
10 defeat the policy holders candidates.
EIectiOneeFing with Peoples Money.
The committee has done and IS ding
its work 1t is for the policy holders TO
say whether they shall assume control Of
their own property and take the two COM
panies out OF Wall street, or whether
they shall be misled by the Iiteral Jre
win which they are being deluged by the
present management Of the companies.
The money 10 pay for this literature
comes out OF the policy holders pUChets-
We are graJihed al The extent 10 which
the policy holders really understand the
situation, and the care and discTimina-
tim with which they are complying with
the law in the casting Of their ballots
We were afraid that they would not IN
derstaLd the complications OF the voting
laws. The oaly fear now is that the
policy holders become inert and not vote,
or that thousands of paid employees Of
rue companies, who are trying 70 take
this election away from the policy hold
ers, VIII succeed IN misleading them"

DUPLICATES HOUDINT'S TRICK
Prof. Maurice Joyce Entertains Big
Crowd at the Columbia.
Escaped from Box and Paper Bag
and Explains How One HUI
sion Is Worked.

Before an audience which completely
filed the Columbia Theater last night.
Prof. Maurice Joyce. a well-known teach
or Of physical culture. performed and ex-
posed a box and paper bag trick very
similar in outside appearance TO those
which lately created so much interest
when performed by HoudinL
In his preliminary remarks Prof. joyce
stated that the tricks which he displayed
were very old. an had been known to
him for thirty years, and between the
acts he discOus on and gave short
exposition Of physical culture. AMI this.
he intimated, was his main object in
appearing before the public in the role
Of box opener.
The bag trick, as explained b. Prof
joyce. consists in having the bag made
three fold: the performer tearing his
way through one layer OF paper and
then trimming the fragments away with
a pair % scissors. thus leaving the bag
intact to all appearances, the exposer
claiming that escape from q sclled bag
without resortiHg 10 this or some other
trick, was beyond human capsbulty.
The box trick he claimed IS done
by means Of collision with the carpenter.
and simply consiz q q sIdlng panel
skilfuliy arranged an the SIDE Of the
box In the performance Of the tricks
behind the curtain Prof Joyce used the
theatrical effects Of remaining tn the
cabinet for thirty and twelve minutes.
respectively, when IN reality he was On
the outside OF eact receptacle in a few
seconds.
MIR. Joyce was questioned by several
persons in the audience, and he dis
cIlimed any intention Of exposing Hou-
DIM tricks IN particular. but said ne
would perform ana expose some illu-
sions that had been known FOR many
wears

be swept out Of the cars with oyster
tongs and heavy fish lines
Experts Not Surprised.
The catastrophe. while it depressed and
shocked everybody. was not a great sur
prise to railroad men acquainted with
the condition Of affairs on the line
It is q significant fact that Walter
Scott. motorman Of the wrecked train,
had a quarrel with his father and mother
this morning before he started on the
trip, the father who is an ola fireman,
insisting that the trains run over the
electric railway were not safe. and that
they were sure TO come to grief sooner
or later.
Mrs. Scott hung on TO her sons neck
and begged him not TO take the train
out but the young man brushed her
aside and said: ats all fouIishness.
The trains are safe enough 70 suit me.
and I'm going to take this one TO the
shore"
Conductor James Curtis says he has no
idea what caused the accident By some
the blame for the accident Is placed upon
the shoulders Of Daniel Steward, the old
man who opens and closes the draw in the
bridge. The rails OF the tracks are ar
ranged in such a way that when the mech
anism is attuned to open the draw, they
raise about four inches, and then the
bridge swings on pivot.
Stewards story Disputed.
The draw had been opened some time
before tho train was due. steward says
about half IN hour. He declared that
when he closed the draw tho rails settled
back into their place. and he gave the on
coming train the signal for clear road.
This is disputed by the railroad officials.
An examination made Of the ends OF
the rails showed that when they were
supposed to have settled back into place
, they bent and twisted Pieces are Clipped
of the ends, showing they must have
been raised up to a distance Of between
TWO and four inches when the train hii
them running at fun speed.
Railroad men are OF the opinion thai
IT was the rails not being in place that
caused the forward car to he derailsd and
/ plunge over the side, pulling the other
I two cars after it.
