INSULAR HOME RULE
Secretary Taft to Address Assembly at Manila
 This Week.

Manila, Oct 13-Great interest is shown in the opening of the first Philippine assembly, which occurs during the coming week, and the ar- rival of Secretary Taft which comes at an opportune time in the Inauguration of Philippine home rule. Already the contendlng political factions are show ing great activity, and at the caucus held on Thursday the first brush oc- cured over a motion to have the as- sembly proceedings opened with pray CT, which was defeated by one vote, on the broad ground that affairs of church and state should be kept dis tinct The caucus was attended by forty-eight delegates, but only thirty three voted on the motion for prayer.
 The motion of the assembly on questions relating to the political fu- ture of the Philippine is expected to be determined largely by the opinion expressed by Secretary Taft in his address opening the session. This is the view held by Filipinos as well as Americans, The latter are generally in favor of specific pronouncement on Philippine policy.

NOT GO BACK
Members of Local Telegraph ers' Union Stand by N.
 Y. Operators.


 The local branch of the Commercial Photographers union met yesterday and decided not to go back to work to-day. This action was taken after the men had learned that the New York union Lad voted not to return to work
 The men here are disgusted with President Small for his statement that the strike would be ended if the men should vote to that effect. They say that the operators were on the eve of victory when Mir. Small made the an- nouncement.
 There is some question as to whether the men employed in the local branch of the Western Uion could get their positions back as it was stated there yesterday that when the management wanted the men it would send for them.
 Associated Press dispatches to the Journal and Courier last night say that local branches of the union in Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Ball timore, Kansas City, Omaha, Salt Lake City, Cleveland and other cities yester- day voted to continue the strike.

WOODRUFF PARTY OFF TO JAMESTOWN Representative Body of Citi- zens From Connecticut
 Now on Trip
 South. ENGINE OF TRAIN
 MADE FALSE START Dining Car Wheel Brake Holds Up Party in Stump
 tuous Special
 Train.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon there pulled out of the Union station in this city a train that might have vied in FlarT with the best of the limited expresses on the road containing as 1t did five handsome parlor cars and two diners. This was the special that bore from this state Governor Woodruff and the big off, cial delegation which accompanied him on the state visit to the James, town exposition. The party elected from all the state to represent the en- tire commonwealth and it's interests gathered, many of the gentlemen of the group with their wives accom- panying them, at the station as the clock made progress toward o'clock and unostentatiously the gathering boarded the special which stood on the second track. There was a small crowd at the station composed mainly of waiting passengers and there was no demonstration.
 IL was HtLle aIteT the hour nam ed that the train made its first effort to pull out, but either the engine was overcome by the large gathering of celebrities which was entrusted to its care or something more potent hap tpened, for after a few vigorous and deep drawn breaths the engine was forced to lie down, as the trainmen say. The trouble was found to be that one of the brakes on the dining ear Plymouth was too firmly attached to the wheel to let go, and after lit- tie tinkering the train was started again. This time the train went along smoothly and was soon lost around the bend on the New York trail,
 The Second company, Foot Guards, made it's start from this city about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

 imitation.
MAY STILL RECOVER

Tn last effort to save the life of Charles Darrow Griswold, the Shelf field scientific school freshman who was badly injured while diving at the Yale swimming pool Thursday, yDr. Willis H. Grove of Whalley avenue and Dr. Alternay of New York oper- ated on the young man yesterday.
 The operation was performed in the Yale intirmary where Griswold has been since the accident, and it was stated by Dr. Grove last evening that his patient had very slight chance for recovery.
 The operation consisted of the re- moval of a small piece of bone from the young mans neck sn order to re- Ieve the pressure on the spine, which would have caused death in a few hours.
 The pieces of bone were very. small and the greatest skill and care were necessary in the operation. The stu- dent was under the influence of an- aesthetics for over an hour while the doctors were working ever him. The operation was entirely successful in accomplishing its object, but 1t may not save the young mans life.
 Griswold is one of the huskiest members of the freshman class and has great determination. pr, Grove is relying on these points in his slight faith in the young mans recovery.
