APPONAUC

At a meeting of the town council two
weeks ago last Monday that body ap-
pointed Chief OF Police Andrews as liquor
complainant officer for the town for the
coming year Last year the council ap-
pointed three officers TO fill this position,
and two years ago the Democratic town
council appointed two men TO fill the po-
sition. The present council thought that
better service could be rendered the town
by one man in this position. They de-
cided To hold this officer for strict ac-
count for the enforcement OF the liquor
laws in the town. The matter OF salary
for this office was not considered at this
meeting, and to the surprise OF num-
ber of people in the town this matter
was not even considered at last Monday 5
meeting. Some of the councilmen are
quoted saying that the reason for not
yet fixing the salary Is that hey are
waiting to see IL the officer viii make
good" in his position before his salary Is
fixed. A number OF people say that this
Is good plan on tho part OF the coun-
ell. There is no need of having this Of
flee filled and paying money for services
which are of no beneht 10 the town. lie,
the liquor complainant officer get out and
hustle and make the saloon keepers obey
the laws as they should. Let him visit
tho various parts Of the town on Sunday
and see If these laws are obeyed. Let
him show his ability TO fill this impor-
tant office by coming into Apponaug on
Sunday and compel the three saloon
keepers in the village to keep their sa-
looms closed on Sundays.

ELECTRIC ENGINE
MAKES o2 MILES

Clayton, n. j., Dec. 12.-The record for
electric locomotives was attained here
yesterday in the tests being made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, The
electric engine, No. 1923, belonging to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company. and known as the
jamestown Exposition" engine. made a
fraction over 80 miles an hour, 1t weighs
10000 pounds.
The tests. which are nearing an end.
have not been made entirely with an idea
of determining the speed relation of the
electric To the steam locomotive, but
largely to help the railroad officials to
determine how fast they may run trains
with safety, particularly on curves.
The officials say the tests have been
highly satisfactory. and that it has been
demonstrated that trains can be run with
safety at the speed of 80 miles an hour.
They have found that it takes three or
four times as long to stop a train going
al this speed than one going at the rate
of 60 niles an hour. 1t has also been
demonstrated that the longer the air
brpkes are applied the less effective they
become. because tires on the wheels get
hot and the braxe shoes slip moro read
lily after the tires become heated.

Stands by Announcement
M ade Following His Elec-
tion in 1904, Has Not
Changed and Will Not
Change, He Declares.

Washington, Dec. 12-President Roose'
welt gives out the above statement deny
ing that he will accept third term.
II any man knew of the presidents In
tention TO make this declaration at the
present time, he kept the secret Wen.
When the president was IN Iennessee iass
October. returning from his bear hunt III
the swamps OF Louisiana, he was inior'n.
ed that the Republican leaders or that
state proposed TO hold their state conven-
ton as soon as possible after the can oi
the national executive for the natlonai
convention. and that they intended 10
send solid delegation instructed lot the
denomination of Mr.. Roosevelt
AS the national executive committee
would meet in Washington early In De-
cember II was expected that the Ten
nessee convention would be held not much
more than a month later; that Is, early
In January OF the new year.
The president has told great number
OF individuals during the last few weeks
that he would not be a candidate for the
presidency next year. and he reiterated
this declaration to certain members OF
the Republican national committee last
week
II is said that u was Mr.. Roosevelt's
original intention TO wait until after the
election OF the first delegates instructed
for him. and then to issue convincing
disclaimer OF his candidacy.
According TO the plans then making for
an early convention I'm Tennessee, the
presidents announcement TO the country
would have come some time next month.
The best information obtainable as TO
the presidents intention looking toward
n third term has always been that he
would stand by his declaration OF 1904
and that he was simply waiting for his
own time in which to rciterate that de-
claration.
AS recently as last Saturday II did not
seem likely that Mr. Roosevelt would
make his announcement during the pres
ent year; and IL seemed more than pos
sible that he would, indeed, defer 1t until
well into 1903.
On that day he had an hours confer
ence with two OF the leading Republicans
OF Tennessee and IL became known that
the president had asked them to defer
