LATEST SLAP AT HITCHCOCK
Second Assistant Named to Act In
 Postmaster Generals Absence.

Washington. Dec. 24. - Postmaster General Meyer left for weeks vaca- tion in Boston and designated Second Assistant Postmaster General Me- Cleary as acting" during his absence. First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock is in the city and at his desk.
 This is the most direct slap at ths Cortelyou boom for the Republican nomination yet delivered by the ad- ministratiOn. Such step could have been taken only pursuant to an execu- tive order. According to Hitchcock's commission he is to be postmaster gen. eral in the absence of Mir Meyer. The document contains no alternative. But of course special request from the White House may supersede it.
 Only few days age the appoint ment of all postmasters in the south, no matter what their grade, was taken away from him, and now he is. de- prived of the honor of seniority. It is declared that in due time he will be asked in so many words if he does not know when a brick has struck him.

HUGHES IS INDoRsED.
Republican Club of New York Com. nends Governor For Presidency.

nends Governor For Presidency.
 New York. Dec. 24.-With only nine opposing votes the Republican Club of the City of New York at a special meeting adopted the following resolu, tion:
 Resolved, That the Republican Club of the City of New York indorses Governor Charles Evans Hughes as the Republican candidate for president of the United States of America in 1908 and invites the cooperation of kindred organizations and of the peo- pie generally throughout the city, state and nation to secure his nomination and election"
 Prior to this action a resolution in- troduced by Job Hedges, advocating the sending of an uninstructed dele gation from this state to the Republic an national convention in Chicago next year. had been voted down with roar.
 This resolution was supported by some federal officeholders and friends of Congressman Herbert Parsons, chairman of the New York county Re- publican committee, who at a previous meeting of the organization and after conference with President Roosevelt at the White House contrived to have resolution indorsing Governor Hughes for the presidency sidetracked. At the meeting last night the name of President Roosevelt was not even mem tiOpad

IDEAS ABOUT RUSSIAN PRISONS.

Writing in the December Charities and the Commons. Samuel J. Bar rows. gives some information about Russian prisons. which is decidedly at variance with well established popular beliefs. Because his investi- gations in Russia were conducted in his official capacity as commissioner of the United States on the interna- tiOnal prison commission. Dr Bar rows does not consider it his privilege to discuss the status of the political prisoners and political prisons in the czar's dominion. He makes no at- tempt either to deny or affirm the &C., curacy of the terrible charges made years ago by George Kennan and by many others since against the Rus sian autocracy's treatment of hosts of political offenders "COnfining our selves to a just comparison of the Russian criminal code and penOlog- ical system with those of other eoun- tries says pr Barrows. Russia Is seen to be one of the most progressive countries in Europe in the recognition and application of some Of the funda- mental principles of prison science. Russia was the first country to decree the abolition of torture. Russia. too. | has produced some of the greatest prison refOrmers- Conspicuous among them was Count Solyhub. to whom belongs the honor of having first sug- gested the holding of the inteTnation- | al prison conference at London. from which was developed on a permanent basis the existing international pTis- | on congress

"SHIN BONE" A SLOT MACHINE
Chicago Cripple Converts His Wooden
 Leg Into a Bank.

Leg Into Bank.
 Chicago, Dec. 24.-Wh1le Frank Koe- foed, cripple, was serving a thirty day sentence for disorderly conduct he converted his wooden leg into slot machine which upon the deposit of d nickel yielded forth three collar but tons. When he was released profits came in so fast he went to several sa- looms. to spend some of the money.
 Several boys, attracted by the jim gling newly polished limb of birds eye maple, followed Koefoed in his rounds until he went to sleep in the gutter. A policeman later found the boys industriously shaking the limb and extracting the nickels, although it was still attached to it's owner.
 In the top of the limb is a small slot, and when nickel is dropped in it three collar buttons tumble into a lineup. the coin meanwhile falling in to receptacle visible through a piece of glass set In the front of the leg Si- multaneously with the exit of the but tons tiny door flies open bearing the inscription: Merry Christmas and q Happy New Year. Collar Button Frank Needs the Money"
 Koefoed says he got the idea from a chewing gum machine. He was sent back to the bridewell

TO STRENGTHEN DEFENSES.
Steps Taken to Improve Qualifications
 on Pacific Coast.

on Pacific Coast.
 Washington. Dec. 24.-Steps for the immediate perfection of the Pacific coast defenses were taken at an i'm portant conference at the White House. at which there were present, in addition to the president, Senator Flint and other members of the Cali fornia delegation and Representative Humphreys of Oregon.
 The fact that attention is thus early being directed to Pacific coast de- lenses is accepted here as practically assuring the return of most of Ad- miral Evans ships by way of the Suez canal. For the ships to return. except for the moral lesson which their jour- ney will have taught, would leave the situation on the Pacific coast precise ly as it stood before the ships sailed. Therefore. to maintain the prestige that will be gained by the cruise the Pacific coast ports will be improved in every possible way. This was the handspring of the conference.
