MR.. CLAGETT EXPLAINS.
Secretary Of Bar Association Tells
About Recent Meeting.

In view Of the controversy among local
lawyers concerning the methods employed
at the meeting of the Bar Association of
the District of Columbia Monday evening,
when Justice Wendell P. Stafford was ina
dorsed over Justice Ashley M. Gould. after
close contest for the appointment to sue
coed Justice Duell on the appellate bench,
Attorney Charles w. Clagett, secretary of
the association, today gave out a state
ment embodying the official record of the
meeting. Mr.. Clagett denies that the pro-
ceedings were characterized by any irreg-
ularity. He asserts that the notices were
sent out in due form to the several men,
bers Of the association and were mailed
soon enough to insure their being received
in full time for the meeting.
The interest manifested in the matter by
the attorneys from the beginning has by
no means abated. 1t continued to be the
principal topic of conversation today
wherever lawyers met in groups at the city
hall. Supporters Of Justice Gould reiter-
ate their statements, charging that the
meeting was engineered by Stafford men
and that some of the friends of Justice
Gould did not receive notices of the meet
ing. These assertions are as vigorously
denied by the friends of Justice Stafford.

ANARCHY RIFE.
Fifty-Eight Arrested at Baku, but I'm
portant Leaders Escaped.


BAKU. Trans-Caucasia. September o.
There was no renewal today of the fighting
which began during the night of September
% In the Molokhan Square between troops
and revolutionists, and the town is now
quiet, though the population Is apprehen-
sive and slight incident is apt to provoke
further trouble.
1t Is learned that the fighting was due to
an attempt upon the part of the troops to
seize the participants in joint meeting of
anarchists members OF the revolutionary
fighting legions and terrorists in one Of the
restaurants on that square frequented by
terrorists. The object of the meeting. it Is
said, was to plan a combined attack on the
local government officials out Of revenge
for the recent arrests and condemnations
to death Of reyolutionists.- -r - :
Fifty-eight persons were arrested at the
restaurant, but the most important leaders
escaped under cover of the fusillades ex-
changed between the troops and the revo-
lutionists. Further important arrests are
expected to take place today.
The governor Of Baku. who has received a
number of letters announcing that he has
been sentenced to death. has ordered that
all the smaller restaurants. which are the
rendezvous of the revolutionists, be closed
at o'clock in the evening.
Similar conditions of anarchy prevail at
Batum. where such climax has been
reached that the police are searching all
persons entering the banks or post Office.

How Words Change.
the Portland Oregonfan.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Words undergo all sorts of changes. Not
so much in form In meaning. Their
forms remain traceable, but the way in
which many of them shift their meanings
is very interesting and remarkable. Take
our common word resentment" 1t now
means manifestation of anger or displeas-
ure. In its origin 1t meant almost precisely
the opposite. 1t signifled civil attention or
recognition of a friendly act. To equivo-
cate was at first merely to call two things
by the same name. not to utter a falsehood.
Hypocrite meant originally nothing but a
player or actor, and had no sinister mean
ing. Tinsel at first was made of the pre-
cious metals and the word was in good re
pute till detection Of repeated frauds caused
its degradation. The word admiration
once meant wonder merely. Now IL also
means approval and delight. There are
thousands of words In English that thus
have changed their Specification, some for
the better, some for the worse. But their
forms have changed little. in many cases
not at all.

WILL FIGHT CANNON

CHICAGO. ILL.,, September 26.-samuel
Gompers. president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. arrived In this city and
began q conference with local labor mon
regarding a campaign to be waged against
congressional candidates who are said. by
the representatives of organised labor, to
be unfair In their official actions to the
purposes and objects Of the labor body.
This warfare will DO waged especially
against Speaker Cannon, and incidentally
Representative Mann may come In for his
share Of the trouble.
Mr.. GOmpers makes no pretense Of hiding
the object Of his present visit. while the
national labor leader did not make the d.
rect admission 1t developed that he and
John Mitchell. president OF the United
Mine Workers of America are laying plans
to take the stump in Speaker Cannon's dis
trtct together, and that there would be
unity Of action, harmony and cooperation
among all labor leaders in all sections Of
Illinois during the campaign. !
An Interesting Fight. !
1t Is conceded by state politicians that an
invasion Of Speaker Cannon's congressional
district by both 4oornpers and Mitchell viii
make the fight to defeat "Uncle joe I'M
usually interesting.
The eighteenth district in which is located
Danvilie, the home Of Cannon, Is In the
heart Of the richest coal fields in illinois
and large proportion Of the voters of the
district are mine workers.
While both Cannon end Mitchell are idols
in the eyes Of the miners they naturally
will follow the advice Of their president
and this will make the result problematic.

was the first thing President Gompers had
to say about the Speaker. He tries to inn

japanese Sardines.
London Daily Graphic.

From the London Daily Graphic.
The sardine is caught in such numbers
all along the coast of Japan that hitherto
the surplus catch has been used for ma
nure. Attempts are now being made to
turn this fish to some more profitable use.
Canning establishments have been started
at various places-notably Chiba and No
yago-with a view to ascertaining whether
the Japanese product cannot, in far eastern
and American markets at least, compete
with the Mediterranean product. AT pres
ent the olive tree Rmost important factor
in this industry, is not cultivated by the
Japanese, and at the same time the Gus
toms levy a duty on imported Oil. This
drawback could of course, be overcome
by the government allowing a rebate to
canning establishments. AS far as taste
and quality go, there is not much to choose
between the Japanese product and the
European.
