STEAGALL CONTEMPT CASE
 POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY

On showing by Solicitor H. B. Stea- gall of the Third Judicial Circuit that he had previously set case for hear ing in his court for today, the contempt proceedings against the solicitor in thu United States Court were postponed by Judge Jones yesterday until Mon- day.
 Much interest centered in this hear ing. which had been set for today. Solicitor Steagall was cited by Judge Jones to show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court by reason of hls alleged threats to a United States Deputy Marshal in the discharge of his duty.
 When the original order was issued it caused wide comment and was look ed upon as a significant incident in the present railroad litigations. for the reason that it indicated the atti- tude of the Federal Court and its ev- ident firm purpose to enforce the in- function granted the railroads against the enforcing ot the State laws regu- lating rates.
 The specific charges of contempt are that when Deputy Marshal Pulluni went to serve notice of the injunction on Solicitor Steagall that he made cer- tain threats, intimating that lie would ' have the sheriff arrest the deputy When this information was conveyed to the court an order was promptly issued, calling on the solicitor to ap- near before the court and show cause Ivhv he should not be adljudged in contempt and be made to answer foI this alleged .disrepect.

 asenf For Nie.ftuaN.

M TAKAHIRA MAY SUCCEED
 VISCOIINT

Tokio. Dec. 1, p, m.-The recall of vIscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambassa- dor at Washington, is the result of his o,en expression of his desire to re- sICn and no official announcement is made of his arrival in Tokio.
 If is now regarded as a foregone conclusion that Aoki will not return to Washington. The question of hIs nrobably successor in the event his resignation is accepted, has long been under discussion. The names men tened in this connection include Baron Kaneko, formerly Special Envoy to the Ifnited States: Baron Chinda, Vice Minister of the Foreign Ohice, and M. Takahira, ut present Japanese Ambas- sador to Italy. and formerly Minister o1 Japan at Washington.
 It is now understood that M. Taka- bira is first choice. Neither Baron chinda nor Baron Kaneko can be spar ed so Takahira will undoubtedly be snpointed if he is acceptable at Wash ington.

1t has often been asserted that the
paper makers discourage their young
women employees intent upon matri-
mony, but the first direct evidence of
this came recently when 5. Il. Wagg,
superintendent of the Fox River paper
mill of Appleton. Wis. raised the
wages of the cutting and finishing
girls with the stipulation that they
stay single, says an Appleton special
dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
Fourteen girls employed in cutting
paper struck, and the wages they re-
quested were granted. Following this
action. Mr. Wagg called the ten finish

pay was increased II cents n day and
that their hours Should not he length
