HOT CAMPAIGN IN CLEVELAND
ReEIstratiOn 20 Per Cent in Excess
of Normal Vote In City
Elections.

CLEVELAND. O., Oct. 27.--with only
one week remaining for active work in
the campaign, the Cleveland mayoralty
contest is overshadowiEg everything else
here in point of interest in connection
with the election of November 5. The
breaking registration has been 4
matter of surprise to political leaders
generally and experts are now Kept busy
trying to analyze It's meaning and prob
able effect on the interests respectively
of Mayor Tom l.. johnson, who is seek
ing a fourth term and Of Congressman
Theodore E. Burton, republican nominee.
Tho registration has reached a total Of
93,OOO which is nearly 10000 in excess
of the normal vote I'm city elections. The
predictions being made by political lead
ers as to the result OF the election vary
according to the political feelings cot
those making them. Republican poll
ticians are sanguine that the big regis
tration augurs that the republicans, here
tofore out OF line with their PARTY locally
and who did not vote at all, are back
in line and ready to vote for Burton.
They point to the fact that the biggest
increase in registration has been IN the
heavy republican wards. Mayor Johnson
and his associates, howtver. are equally
sanguine that the increased interest IN
municipal affairs as shown by the big
registration is due TO his position on the
question Of lower street car fares.

MEYER ON PARCELS POST
Postmaster General Explains His
Views in speech at
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. H.-Postmaster
General George Won L. Meyer at dinner
at the Union League club last night made
an address in which he called attention to
recommendations which he purposed maxi
ing in his annual report for the considera-
tion of the next congress. On the ques-
lion of a parcels post, he said:
shall recommend the same rate, 12 cents
a pound, and limit OF weight for parcels
whether Intended for points i'm this country
or abroad, which means reduction Of
cents a pound and an increase in the
maximum weight to eleven pounds.
Taking up the rural parcels post question.
he said:
shall recommend a parcels post system
on the rural free delivery routes, a special
rate to be charged on packages for de-
very from the distributing oftice of the
route, or If mailed ny a patron of any
rural route for delivery to patron on the
The rate would be 3 cents for the first
pound and 2 cents additional up to eleven
pounds. This would be a great boon to the
farmers.
Regarding postal savings banks the post
master general said:
AS an evidence that It is not the desire
of the government to compete with the
private savings banks in obtaining de-
posits OF the people, shall advocate a
or l per cent semi-annually and a limit
Of $780, not more than $3.50 to be deposited
lin any one year. My own belief Is that
FAR from being detriment to the estab-
hshed banks, It would be TO the contrary.
In order to get this money back into the
channels Of trade, I propose to ask con-
gress for authority to place the savings
In national banks.

DOCTORS TRUST is LEGAL
Judge Compares Agreement 60 Raise
Fees 90 Labor Unions Attempt
to Fix Wages.

CHARLES CITY. Ia. oct 2I-tSpecial
Telegram. Judge Kelley handed down
his decision this morning in the cases ct
the waverly doctors who had a hearing
a week ago today on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. The question raised was
whether a doctors services came under
the meaning of section 5000 Of the code
of Iowa, which provides that no one shall
enter into an agreement to raise the price
of a commodity. Also the constitutional
ity of the law entered into the case Dr.
w. A. Rohlf of wavery acted as plaintiff
for the twelve doctors indicted in the test
case and Henry Kasemier and the staJe
of Iowa were defendants. The decision
is an important one. The gist Of It is
as follows: For mary years the right
of labor TO organize for protection has
been recognized by the courts. My at
tention has not been called to any legls-
lation whereby any state has in direct
terms attempted to limit that right. Sup
pose that a body Of railroad employees in
Bremen county should form a union ana
enter into an agreement with each other
not to work for less than fixed sum,
would anyone for a moment say that
section 5000 prohibited such an agreement
and each member of such union was
criminal and liable to a fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $1,000 or TO
Imprisonment in the county jail not to
exceed one year or both? Rash, indeed,
would be the man that would make such
claim. 1 am of the opinion that the
first ground submitted should be decided
In favor Of the plaintiff. In view of my
foregoing conclusion IL is not necessary
for me and l do not pass upon the con-
stitutional questions suggested. There
being no controversy as to the facts.
am Of the opinion that no sufficient Legal
case of detention has been shown and
the plaintiff is discharged Costs are

TO BE VICE ADMIRAL
Plan to Ask Congress to BeStow Title
on Commander of big
Fleet.

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.--rhe great bat
tleship feet which is 60 make its way
from the Atlantic to the Pacific will prob
ably be commanded by a vice admiral
and that the office will go to Rear Nd
miral Robley D. Evans. OF course this
Is conditional upon congress giving its
sanction to the proposal that will be
made by the president to establish this
new rank in the navy. Conditions now
are believed to be more favorable than
ever before for this project.
Rear Admiral Evans will sail in conf
mand of the most powerful fleet ever
gathered under the American nag Not
only that he commands more battleships
Of modern type than any other naval
officer in the world and the only officer
whose blue pennant floats over more
numerous fleet of all kinds of warships
is Lord Charles Beresford, and ne is of
greater rank than a vice admiral, being
an admiral. like Dewey. On this cruise
the American feet is to touch in many
foreign ports and is to exchange
courtesies with foreign fleets in several
places-in Brazil. Chill, Argentina. The
American commander, supposing he is re-
tanning his present title of rear admiral,
would be outranked, for the navies of
all these countries contain officers of the
grade Of vice admiral, which would make
the American commanders position hu-
initiating.
1t would be pointed out in Admiral
Evans case that not only is he by his
remarkable service record entitled TO this
advancement, but any objections to the
creation of this new grade that might be
broached in congress might be overcome
by pointing TO the fact that as Admiral
Evans retires next August the office will
