 The president put the letters on his
 desk and wrote a letter to Professor ! Gordon. Unfortunately. the professor was in South America collecting zoo- | logical specimens. and the letter was forwarded to him by his wife. As the | professor was in the highest Andes
 where no white man had ever pene- trated. the letter was many months in reaching him. The president forgot the guinea pigs, Morgan forgot them, MT. Morehouse forgot them, but Flannery did not. One-half of his time he gave to the duties of his agency; the other half was devoted to the guinea pigs. Long before Professor Gordon received the presidents letter Morgan received one from Flannery

 "Sell no pigs" Morgan wired.
 Not long after this the president of the express company received a letter from Professor Gordon. IL was a long and scholarly letter. but the point was that the guinea pig was the genius Sus of the family Suidae. He remarked that they were prolific and multiplied rapidly.

 Morgan made the proper notation on the papers that had accumulated in File A6754 and turned them over to the Audit Department.

HEARST MAY LOSE
NOT so STRONG IN ERIE COUNTY
AFTER ALL.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
BUFFALO, NJ Y, October 9.-It was set
tied early this morning that the Ihdepend-
ence League of Erie county should put
complete ticket in the field here for election
day. That means that the democrats OF
Erie county will present divided front to
the republicans and that William Randolph
Hearst's chances of pulling a big vote In
Erie county, which has been rated as
Hearst stronghold, have gone glimmering
The climax was reached about l o'clock
this morning, when Chairman Edward E.
Coatsworth of the democratic county organ
ization sent an ultimatum to Clarence J.
Shearn, Hearsts personal representative,
saying that the democrats would not with
draw any of their candidates from the local
ticket
The Independence League has objected to
many of the democratic candidates on the
ground of unfitness, and Coatsworth has de-
manded the elimination of all the league
candidates on the ground that the demo-
cratic vote could not be held for Hearst If
the league insisted on having It's ticket IN
the field.
In reply to Coatsworth's ultimatum,
Shearn sent a communication saying that
there was nothing left for the league to do
except put a complete ticket in the field In
Erie county and said that would be done.
AS a consequence of all these, democratic
leaders are saying that Hearst is to be
knitted by democrats and that votes which
otherwise would have been cast for him will
be cast for Charles E. Hughes, the repub-
lican gubernatorial candidate The indie
pendence League men will vote solidly for
Hearst and the rest of the league ticket,
thus knitting democratic organization candi-
dates for local offices. A meeting Of the
league is to be held this morning. when
complete Independent ticket with Hearst
at the head is to be made up.

Interstate Commerce Commission.

A continuance of the hearing as to the
method of fling tariffs was had by repre-
sentatives of the railroads today before the
interstate commerce commission. The rail-
roads are interested deeply in the question

and the shippers wi be able easily to I'M
derstand the tariffs as they are prepared
and printed by them. and that that is all
that may be necessary.
Al the close of the hearing now in prog
ress the interstate commerce commission
will issue an order respecting the filing of
tariffs, which will be the final word on the

dertaken by the Department of Justice,
especially dealing with the Standard Oil.
Attorney General Moody has recently had
a number of talks with his assistants who
are handling these cases. and an effort is
being made TO agree upon a program for
the attack by the administration upon the
great corporation. The opinion prevails
that Attorney General Moody today out
lined the proposed methods of attack, and
that the President asked Secretary Root
and Secretary Bonaparte to remain and
pass upon the subject along with himself
and Mr.. Moody.
There has been more or less trepidation
in the Department of Justice for long
time as to going after the Standard Oil. and
Mr.. Moody has been particularly anxious to
take the right path If he can find that one.
He knows that the finest legal talent in the
world is employed by the Standard, and
that the government will have to put up an
unusually able fight to win. Therefore, he
has proceeded cautiously in his proposed
line Of action.
