READY FOR HORSE SHOW.
Directors Give Luncheon TO Judges
and Exhibitors.

New York, Nov. 1s.-The twenty-second
annual exhibition Of the National Horse
Show Association was informally opened
to-day with the luncheon that the di-
rectors give each year to the judges and
exhibitors. II was held IN the Madison
Square Garden, and the gathering was
larger than ever before. The officers and
directors received their guests shortly
before 1 o'clock. and horse was the topic
Of conversation with ali. Then. when
everything was ready, there was the
usual parade Of frock coats and silk
hats info the dining hall where. as soon
as all were seated. pictures were taken.
After the luncheon Cornelius Fellowes.

on the coming show. which he was sure
would be the most successful in the his

from Patrick Francis Murphy, that gen

ALLEN TO HOLD HIS PLACE.
Has No Intention of ResiEning "a
Commissioner of Patents.

Frederick l. Allen, Commissioner Of
Patents, last evening denied that he was
about 10 tender his resignation of that
once.
The report is not correct said he.
I certainly have no intention of resign
ing at the present time, and have no
idea as to how OF where the rumor
started"
Commissioner Allen has held his pres
ent office since 1901, having been appointed
by President Mckinley to succeed Com
missioner Duell. and continued in office
by President Roosevelt.
His home is at Auburn, N Y, and it
has always been understood that he has
powerful political backing. including both
Senators Plstt and Depew. az well as
other influences in the Presidents own
State.
1t IS a well-known fact that for long
time the Patent Office has been away
behind in its work; but the recent re-
port OF Commissioner Allen, issued the
other day, shows that he has made eX-
traordinary effort to bring the files up
to date. While couple of months ago
the Office was behind to the extent Of
1900 cases, the report cites that about
1000 Of these have been completed, and
that as many as 1.500 were brought up to
date in one week recently.

ITALY BUYS FOREIGN STEEL
Government Employees at Terni
Strike as the Result.
Son Of Italian Premier Visits in
WashinEtOn-Is Accused by PeO-
pie of JObbinE with Trust.

American-made armor steel for the
italian royal navy has raised a riot and
produced a strike among the 600 en-
ployes OF the Terni steel works, Milan,
Italy It is charged by the socialist and
labor element OF Italy that DR.. FREDERICK
Gioletti, son Of the Italian premier. who.
At present is visiting this country. is here
in the interest of the ArsaldO-Armstrong
Company. and not, as claimed by him, as
a netalIurgical expert
At the Italian Embassy II was stated
last night that DIT GiOletti is visiting
America, accompanied by HIS wife, as a
private citizen and tourist: that he is not
the agent Of any private enterprise. and
that he has not visited the Midvale Steel
Company's works near Philadelphia.
1T was a matter Of business and con-
venience with the Italian government"
said the naval attache Of the Italian En-
bassy. that determined my government
to award the contract for the armor TO
the American concern. And IL is more
than likely that foreign firms will con-
tinue to be favored by the Italian govern
ment unless Italian firms will meet the
figures Of foreign bidders. 1t is probable
that the present awarding of a contract
to an American firm will bring about the
desired result. At any rate. whatever is
done by the government Of my country
is for the best interests of Italy, and will
be so recognized by the element that is
now creating strikes and riots"
The strike OF the 5000 employees OF the
Terni iron works has been ordered as in
dicating the protest Of the steel workers
Of Italy against the awarding of the work
TO an American firm The course taken
by the Italian government has brought
about a serious condition of affairs, and
the indications are that Parliament may
make an investigation. Dr. GiOletti son
of the Italian premier. is charged with
graft and jObbery, and Of being in the
employ Of non-Italian interests. and op-
position papers claim that Gioletti made
frequent visits to the Midvale works
These assertions are most emphatlcally
denied at the Italian Embassy here.
II was also announced at the Embassy
that Ambassador Mayor des PIanches Is
expected TO return 10 the embassy Fri
day.

BANKHEAD FOR SENATOR.
He Il Already Sounding Alabama
Legislators on Subject.


After all, may it not be Senator Bank
head? Alabama Democratic politicians
are asking this in view Of recent develop
ments in State politics.
Col. Bankhead, at a Democratic primary
last summer, received the highest number
Of votes cast for appointment 10 the
United States Senatorship, contingent
upon the death Of either Senator Morgan
or Senator Pettus, the two lively old gen.
tlemen who now represent the State in
the upper branch of Congress. Senator
Morgan will be eighty-three his next
birthday Senator Pettus eighty-six.
Under the Democratic primary rule, the
governor is to appoint Col. Bankhead.
said appointment to continue and be ef-
fective only until the next regular session
Of the legislature" This. some OF the
politicians have discovered, indicates that
even If Col. Bankhead is appointed It
would not be incumbent upon the legisla-
ture to elect him to the Senate at its next
regular meeting. Col. Bankhead's sup
porters dispute this. but, in order to make
matters certain, the colonel yesterday sent
a letter to the members OF the Alabama
senate and house. asking for their views
on the subject In his letter Col. Bank
head in part says.
Il am naturally greatly interested. and
feel that I am entitled to your favorable
consideration. I entered the race In good
faith, by invitation Of the executive COM
mittee, and submitted my claims 10 this
high office on a direct vote to the Demo-
Gratis of Alabama. 1 am not assuming
that you are averse 20 any claims Of mine
| am writing you in order TO obtain an
expression Of your Views as TO whether
or not you feel that I am entitled TO the
election by the legislature to I'll the first
vacancy, in view Of the fact that by a
direct vote Of the people I received n
majority OF all the votes cast. To be per
fectly frank. in case the matter is sub
mitted to a regularly called session Of the
legislature, may 7 count on your support
for election 10 the Office Of United States
SENATOR"
Col Bankhead was defeated for Con
gress by Capt. Richmond Pearson Hob
son. His term expires at the end Of the
coming session OF Congress. The Con-
gressman's friends say he is more than
willing to remain In private life If he
has to get Office through the death Of
either OF the present veteran Senators.
At the same time. should the inevitable
happen. he wants 10 know whether the
result Of the recent primary is meaning
less, and is accordingly putting the qUes-
ton UP to the members of the legislature

After telling of the troubles that over

played in the loss Of the House Of Rep

for this condition, not only in New York,
but In Illinois and California, is one VIII

York. and the election of every other
Democratic candidate on the ticket on
which he ran. is proof positive that the
people do not want that kind Of inde-
pendence which throws down the nomi-

what he advocates.

At this iunCture society

being dispensed In cob-web saloons or
plate glass grill rooms. but that delightful
tipples might be acquired over the c0un-
ter Of any first-class candy shops In the
form of 90 per cent proof rum drops.
This disclosure let a food Of light into
the c0gitati0ns Of the park policeman.
who at once found the solution for the
inexplicablc pranks and senseless gibber-
sh q which the squirrels OF late have
been guilty. He expressed his belief that
the pets were dying OF alcoholism, and not
OF indigestion.
In true professional style. a bitter con-
troversy ragged in park circles over the
question whether the animals had died Of
peanuts or candy shop liquor drops, and
the park authorities, together with all
their kin and intimate friends. were di-
vided into two great clans over the ques-
ton whether sQuirreldom was being NOR
ally as well as Dhysi0logically debauched.
To settle this mUmentous question, 1t was
decided to hold an autopsy over the next
squirrel CadaYer.
The solution. however, came sooner. Il
came, in fact. yesterday afternoon, when
a park policeman Of the peanut faction
discovered a large gray pet cutting
stranger csDers on the stone Curbing Op-
posite the Congressional Library. Near
by stood two little girls IN high glee over
the cake walk that the squirrel was es-
saying.
Hey. there. you girls; quit feeding that
squirrel peanuts, he called 10 the girls.

Of the little trouble makers.

I'VE didn't feed II peanuts" insisted the
girl We only fed it some candy drops.
The policeman blanched. why do you
feed it that STUFF" he inquired, cOnfscat-
ing "A small bag Of sinful rum fruit.
Because" ventured the girl, he does
such funny stunts when he eats this can
dy It's more fun than feeding him pea

and unless the pure food law puts the rum

be embellished with scrolls bearing the
