SECRETARY TAFT's unequivocal dec
laration in favor of tariff revision In his
speech at Bath, Maine, Wednesday Is
construed as meaning that he will base
his claims to the presidential nomination
upon that doctrine in opposition to the
"stsnd- pat" attitude assumed by nearly
every other man nov mentioned in con-
neetion with the next presidential ma
tiousl convention. Mr.. TafFs position
ON this question is exactly that taken by
Representative Burton, of Ohio. and the
other progressive" republicans OF that
State who are isboring now to over
throw the Dick Foraker machine. 1t Is
evident that Secretary Taft, as an Ohio
man, has decided to cast his fortunes
with those of Burton and the anti-ma'
chine men, and that il be is to obtain
the support of the Ohio dele alton in the
convention he will obtain it Though
Burton and az the result of the defeat
of Dick and Foraker.

The Real Estate Trust Company.


Philadelphia, Sept. Z. = Depositors
and creditors of the Real Estate Trust
Company see hope today, and they are
inclined to support Receiver Earle in
his plan of reorganizing, as the directors
have already supported 1t. He will
reopen the doors of the Real Estate
Trust Company and pay all depositors
in full. The scheme includes propo-
stion to give depositors preferred stock
for part of their claims. 1t did not meet
with much favor from the depositors at
first. They said: ave don't want
stuck; we want cash. We want the
directors to put it up. They're able to,
and they're responsible" This obstacle,
the hardest possibly, the hard-worked
receiver will have to surmount, has been
partly removed by the present PROPOSE
ton to pay only 80 per cent of the
claims iu preferred stock, 80 per cent to
be paid in cash, and 40 per cent in
thirty or sixty days after the reopening
of the bank.
1t was reported on che floor of the
Stock Exchange here late this afternoon,
that the reorganization Of the Real Es-
tate Trust Company, has been accom-.
plished and Receiver Earle has been
elected President.

Father Meyer,s Chances.

Rome, Sept. THE outlook today for
the selection Of Father Rudolph Meyer,
OF st. Louis, as the next General of the
Jesuits is not 50 bright. AT present the
outlook is that some dark horse candi-
date will secure the coveted honor. This
is the last day which can be devoted to
campaigning, as the election occurs to-
morrow. Unless the deadlock can be
broken at once in favor Of The American
candidate his chance before the congre-
cation will not be worth much. The
Italian aud French delegates, who con-
troll twenty-seven votes, are distinctly
opposed to Father Meyer, declaring they
do not want an American General. The
Germans are working hard to capture
the position for one of their fellow coun'
trymen on the ground that there are
more Jesuiis in Germany than in any
other country.
