Dangerous Precedent.

New York, October 25.--Dr. Walter R. Gillette, former vice president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, who yes- terday was convicted of perjury and re- manded to the Tombs, was denied bail by Justice Bowling in the supreme court to- day. After the jury rendered it's verdict yesterday, counsel for the defense asked for a certificate of reasonable doubt and arrest of judgment. Justice Bowling said he would hear the motion October 2S. The motion of today was to admit Dr. Gillette to bail until that time. District Attorney Jerome appeared in opposition to the move, taking the ground that to admit Gillette to bail would set dangerous precedent

MOHoNk CONFERENCE.
Porto Rico and Island Problems Come
 Up for Discussion.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y., October 25.-Porto Rico was the topic for discussion at the Mohonk conference today. The speakers were the Rev. c. J. Ryder and Samuel McCune Lindsay of New York, George Cabot Ward, auditor of Porto Rico, Tul- co Larrnaga, commissioner of Porto Rico to the United States, and George Bird Arias of Tajardo. The latter two are Porto Rlcans.
 The Mohonk platform adopted today contains an expression of congratulaton upon the progress made in the educa- ton and development of the Indians in the last quarter of a century.
 Recommendations relating to the Phil ippine islands and Hawaii included Il rad ical reduction of the duties now collected on products of the Philippine islands and "education in the duties of citizenship" so that as the Ifilipines demonstrate their political capacity, powers of self-govern- ment should be enlarged and that pro- vision should be made by Congress where by educated and duly qualified Porto Ricans may become citizens of the United States

TAFT'S MANAGER WATCHES THE SOUTH Anti Taft Movement Is Feared
 By Vorys THIRD TERM TALK WORRIES Many Republicans In the South Favor Roosevelt for Another Term and
 Will Not Listen To Any
 Arguments.
THIRD TERM TALK WORRIES

Columbus. O., October 25.-(Speeiall J. The attitude of the south toward the Taft presidential boom is a matter of great concern to his manager, Arthur l. Norys and 1t is understood that his recent visit to Washington. where he conferred with a number of cabinet off cers, related largely to the southern sit nation. Among others with whom he talked were Attorney General Bonaparte, who is supposed to have his hand on the throttle of the republican machine in Maryland. and John G. Capers, internal revenue commissioner and national com mitteeman from South Carolina. The lat ter is regarded as one of the best posted men in the republican fold when it comes to G. O. P politics south of the Mason & Dixon line. How freely he talked to Norys is purely matter of speculation, but if he was outspoken it is the belief that Mr. Vorys found his suspicious con- corning the south confirmed. Some time ago the manager of the Taft boom thought that he had discovered opposition to Taft in the south, disguised under third term movement in behalf Roose- welt, and it is the conviction of numer- ous politicians that the correctness of this theory was made manifest by the visit of Vorys to Washington.
 The cork-like qualities of this third term movement--which bobs up on all occasions is causing the Taft people no end of worry. They have met it in every south ern state and in d great many states out side of the south, and, as long as Roose- welt stands for it, they are somewhat at a loss how to combat it. They know that Taft was practically thrust into the presl- dental fight by Roosevelt and some of them are inclined to kick because Roose- welt talk is becoming the biggest obstacle in the road to success. MT. Vorys, how ever, is of the opinion that the Roose- welt movement will result in good for his candidate in the long run. He hopes that when 1t becomes absolutely certain that Roosevelt cannot be forced into the arena, the Roosevelt men will under the direc- ton of the President, fall into the Taft column.
 One of the conclusions said to have been forced upon the Taft manager while comforting with party leaders, was that in order for the Secretary of War to receive substantial support at the hands of southern leaders he must develop sub- stantial support in other quarters. He was told, It Is said, that IT the Ia1t boom gained great momentum in other quarters he might succeed in arousng enthusiasm in the south, but as matters stand now there is no disposition in that section to whoop things up for the Secretary Of War. 1t is said that MT. Norys now views the situation in this light and that he will open vigorous campaign in the north with view to impressing the south with the fact that the Taft boom is not limited to a few states in the middle, west.

Pine Knots Attractions.

From Small County Neishbors' by Theo-
 dore Roosevelt in the October Seribner-
 In Albemarle county, Virginia, we have a little place called Pine Knot, where we sometimes go, taking some or all of the children, for three or four days outing. It is a mile from the big stock farm "Plain Dealing, belonging to an old friend, MT. Joseph Winner. The trees and flowers are like those of Washington, but thelr general close resemblance to those or Long Island is set off by certain eN- centions. There are osage orange hedges. and in spring many of the roads are bordered with bands ot the brilliant yellow blossoms of the flower ing broom. introduced by Jeffersoh. There are great willow oaks here ana there in the woods or pastures anu occasional groves of noble tulip trees in the many stretches of forest these trees growing to much iaise. 9iIO than on Long Island.

Chicago, October 25.-The dismissal to- day by Judge kKohlsaat in the United States circuit court of patient case on the grounds that it lacked equity Is said to put an end to monopoly whch had existed for about 10 years, the so- called Mica Trust" Mica is used eX- tensvely for insulation purposes in cleo. tric motors and dynamos. The process for making mica insulation was patented, but it seems that the application for B patent on the insulate product was denied on the ground of prior use This fact, however, 1t was said, was unknown until a search of the records of the patent office disclosed 1t. It was in view of this hitherto concealed fact that the court dis missed the case to enforce the patent granted on the ground that the case lacked eutiity

Duels are common enough in

They may be divided into three

rence-journalists' duels, daels that
are the outcome of tongue too
wen hung or fabricated by an over
dose Of alcohol, and, thirdly, those
swAe,e the opponents are out to Kill

represents the degree of publicity
accompanying each.
OF those due to an i'll considered
or i'll bred remark comparatively
few come to an Interchange of shots
or thrusts, but fzzle out after an

mind. and things are quieted down
by those unfortunate individuals
who have been selected as seconds.
When such encoup5~s do take place
at least one of the principals is only
too desirous for privacy to be main
tanned the safest possible condi-
tions are arranged, and one only
hears about the affair, after it Is all
over.
The materials for disagreement
are usually a night restaurant and
the one extra bottle which might
