Is a Great Aid To
Artists
DIFFICULTIES OF POSING

Baltimore, Oct. 24.-There is a
growing appreciation today in the
minds of artists and lovers of the
beautiful OF the intimate relation ex-
isting between painting as a master
art and photography as a means for
aiding the painter in his work.
The camera fiend and his CHASTITY
productions that yet have the fidelity
to the original that distinguishes the
skillful caricaturing of some face in
the public eye--the automatic work
Of the uninspired photographer--than
which nothing can be more wooden
and hideous, all these have tended to
brand photography In Its relation to
art as the automatic action of a ma
chine, wholly lacking soul or beauty,
and painters with their sensitive feel
ing for composition, form. color, ex-
preston, have for many years reject
ed In their work the powerful aid of
the camera, whose heaven-guided ac-
curacy they might have commanded
as Aladdin commanded the slave of
the lamp.
Maurice Materlinck, speaking OF
this sun-directed force Of nature and
its power TO portray objects and be-
ings more quickly and accurately
thap pencil or crayon, says that in
latter days mans wonderful control
Of the lights and shades of photo
graphy infuse Its work with thought
and compel the camera to such things
as has not yet been said in all the
realms OF chiaroscuro, Of grace, of
beauty. OF truth.
For centuries painters have had to
contend with the greater or less ability
OF models to conceal a relaxation of
pose or changing expression of face
and hands due to the strain OF long
continued posing.
"It is here" says an eminent ar
tist writer, that photography may
step In by means OF It's impeccable
drawing, the convincing nature OF Its
detail, the marvels OF Its light modu-
lations. aud above all Its instant res
ponsiveness to the accident and action
OF the moment in the subject and to
the mood OF the artist who controls
Il. The lens, and only the lens, can
thus aid in the creation of special
works Of the highest art"
Baltimore is fortunate in that she
includes among her leading photo
graphs a number OF men and at least
one woman who brings to the work OF
the camera all the artistic feeling or
the painter, and who Undue their art,
which lacks the vivid glow Of color or
the plastic form OF sculpture, with a.
subtle and wonderful charm, the gift
OF soul the rare and fieeting quality
OF expression and camera may depict
as can no other medium save the most
inspired brush.

REAL MONEY ACCEPTED.
Internal Revenue Office Delivers In
 structions To Officials.

Washington, November 1s.-Comnis- sioner of Internal Revenue Capers, upon being shown a dispatch from Cincinnati, O., to the effect that he had authorized internal revenue collectors to accept cashiers checks in payment of taxes, tonight said:
 T have never authorized internal reve- nue collectors to accepts certified checks within themselves, because I had no au- thority to do so. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue are without power to direct collectors to accept anything but coin or lawful money of the United States In payment of revenue taxes or stamps M nat the equivalent of cash Is, however, is q matter the collector has to decide for himself, because he is under bond. But in order to relieve the situ- ation the Commissioner Of Internal Reve- nue has directed taxpayers, or rather has suggested to them that they get a certitt- cate of deposit from any national bank depository, file that certificate of deposit from any national bank depository with the collections and on the receipt of that certificate of deposit the collector can issue .the stamps or the receipt to the taxpayer.

POWERS WILL TRY
 SUPREME COURT Counsel Takes Exceptions to Many Things Presented POLITICS AFFECT CASE Defense Claims That Too Much Bias Has Been Manifested During the
 Campaign and In selec-
 ton of Jury.
POLITICS AFFECT CASE

Georgetown, Ky, November 1S.-Two questions will go before the federal court if any verdict short of acquittal shall re- suit from the present trial of Caleb Pow CTS. This was made certain today when Attorney S. M. Wilson rendered a bill of exceptions, challenges of the jurors already sworn, challenge for venire last summoned and affidavit or Caleb Powers and others, preparing without doubt for grounds for trial in the supreme court of the United States. Attorney Franklin for the prosecution was given time to digest the affidavits offered by the defense and to prepare for hearing. Court adjourned before the examination was completed The motion and affidavit filed by the de- fense seeks to set asiGe the order calling for a Wenire from Harrison county on the ground that the sheriff of Scott county did not go in person to Harrison county to summon the veniremen.
 In Powers affidavit he gives the prin- cipal story of his case, beginning with his election as secretary of state, through to the assassination of Goebel, and charges that the case has been the subject Of political agitation since 1900, that the democratic party campaign managers have devoted their efforts to fastening the commission of the crime upon the republican party and upon the affant as a member of the party.
 In other respects Powers affidavit cor responds with the support of the chal- lenge of the jurymen qualified. That challenge affirms that in sending his deputies to Harrison county Sheriff War ring telephoned to the sheriff of that county, who is alleged to be a democrat and Goebelite, resulting in two Harrison vepiremen to assist in the selection of the veniremen, that in discharging that duty they purposely overlooked a large num- Der of citizens of republican and indepen- dent politics, but they might be disposed to give the defendant fair trial The statement further affirms that Sheriff Warning disobeyed the order of court by not summoning the venire himself in the first place, and secondly by not requiring them to be summoned without outside aid.
 The argument and the examination of witnesses will begin tomorrow morning.

HOT SPEECH MADE
 BY VICTOR BERGER
LABOR LEADER DECLARES THAT FEDERATION SHOULD FAVOR ARMING OF RESPECTABLE cITl- ZENS AGAINST MILITIA.

Norfolk, Va, November 1S.-The most sensational incident in the session of the American Federation of Labor oc- cured here today when Delegate Victor L. Berger made an impassioned speech advocating a resolution he had offered asking the federation to oppose or ganized militia and favoring the arm ing of sober and reputable citizens of the United States so as to be able to resist the militia. MT. Berger claimed the militia is not intended to defend the country against foreign forces, but to control the masses at home and to back up the strike breakers. Imme- diately following the announcement of Delegate Berger there was a succession of quick explosions from the rear of the hall caused by the bursting of in- fiated paper bags. The effect of this demonstration was instantaneous. even President Gompers joining in the riot ous laughter caused by the mock bomb explosions. MT. Berger's resolution, which was classed as pistol legisla- tion',, was defeated.

SECRETARY TAFT
 AT VLADIYOSTeK
VISIT IS CUT SHORT AND SECRE- TARY WILL HASTEN ACROSS SI- IBERIA TO VISIT THE EUROPEAN RULERS.

Vladivostok, November 1S.-Secretary Taft, who arrived here from Manila yes terday on the cruiser Rainbow, came ashore twice today, drove through the city and did some shopping. He was &C., companied by an escort of Russian troops
 Tonight the secretary dined with Gen. eral Pfugg, the commander of the forces. The healths of President Roosevelt and Emperor Nicholas were drunk.
 Through Charlemange Tower. the Amer ican ambassador to Germany, Emperor William has communicated his regret at being absent from Berlin when Secretary Taft passes through Europe, and he ln- vited the secretary to be his guest at the Isle of Wight. To this invitation MT. Taft had to decline on account of Pres- ident Roosevelt's urging him to haston his return, but it is believed also that in- quiries from the French and British gov- ernments as to why the secretary could not visit them also influenced him to change his plans. R
 An audience with Emperor Nicholas at St. Petersburg, where Secretary Taft ex- poets to arrive December 8, has been ar- ranged.
 The secretary will leave here tor1or- row afternoon on his long Journey over- land.
 The unrest among the soldiers quar- tered here has not abated, and 1t Is pre- dicted that there will be another outbreais inside of a week. It is reported that 200 mutineers were executed by hanging last week.

INJUNCTION NOT VIOLATED. Printing Pressmen Do Not Cause Any
 Disturbance.

Cincinnati, November 1s.-No violations of the injunction of the federal court prohibiting a strike of the members of the International Pressmen and Assistants union were reported in Cincinnati today, although this was the day set by the or ganization for the general enforcement of it's demands for an S-hour day. An injunction has been issued by the federal court here on representation of the Tinted Typothetae of America that for the unionists to strike for an S-hour day would be in violation of the union and the typothetae agreement.
 President Berry of the international Pressmen's Union said today:
 "So far as I know there has not been a single violation of the injunction. This morning five-sixths of the subordinate unions in the country signed up with the employers and S5 per cent of the mem- bership of the union is now working under the S-hour day"

WOMAN LOSES SUIT
 AGAINST RAILROAD
ACCORDING TO PENNSYLVANIA LAW WOMAN COULD NOT SUE A ROAD IN OHIO AND GET DAM AGES.

Washington. November 1S.-In the case of Elizabeth M. Chambers vs. the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad company the supreme court of the United States held today that the damages for the death of a citizen of Pennsylvania caused by a railroad in Pennsylvania cannot be re- covered by a citizen of that state under it's laws through an action brought in the Ohio state courts. Mrs. Chambers sought through a suit on the Mahoning (Ohio) circuit court to secure an award of damages under the Pennsylvania law for accidental killing of husband in 1902 on a Baltimore and Ohio train in Pennsyl- vania and when the Ohio supreme court refused to sustain her prayer, she ap- pealed to the federal supreme court.
 Justice Moody declared the opinion of the court upholding the position of the Ohio courts. The case turned upon the point whether the decision of the Ohio state court so operated as to cause dis crimination against Mrs. Chambers be- cause she was a citizenso of another state and Justice Moody's opinion was based on the theory that such is not the result. Justices Harlan. White and McKenna 1olneu Tn ulSsehtins opliiloH' ln HIS statement, Justice Harlan declared that the decision of the court denies funda- mental report of citizenship in that 1t re- fused to grant to a citizen of one state the privilege of bringing suit in an- other state. He also called attention to another point in the decision, saying that if Mrs. Chambers had been so fortun- ate as to marry an Ohio man she would have been granted a privilege which was denied her because she had married Pennsylvanian. He thought this a dis elimination not justified under the con stitution of the United States.

GROUND TO PIECES
 UNDER LOCOMOTIVE
UNKNOWN WHITE MAN FALLS OFF FRISCO FREIGHT CAR AND WHEELS RUN DlAGONALLY ACROSS HIS BODY.

In swinging off of a Frisco freight train white man, who was unknown to any of the railroad men in the yards, was thrown under the cars and horribly ground to pieces early this morning near the corner of Ninth ave- nue and Nineteenth street. From all appearances the locomotive and several cars must have passed over the unfor- tunate mans body. Death was almost instantaneous.
 It is supposed that the man who was killed boarded the train on the corner of Eighteenth street and Ninth avenue and rode up to Nineteenth street, wh ere he jumped off. He was thrown to the ground and fell under the wheels. The body was run over diagonally across the shoulders and the head and both arms were entirely severed from the torso. One of the feet was also badly mash ed.
 An ambulance of the Gaudin Under taking company answered the call, and when the pieces of the body were picked up no means of Identification were found The man was plainly dressed and several dollars, which are supposed to have dropped from his pockets. were found along the track. The accident occurred shortly after ? o'clock.
 Strange to state there is very little disfiguration of the face and head, and 1t is hoped on this account that he may be identified. The remains are be- ing held in the morgue of the Gaudin Undertaking company.

Sazanovitch aroused the most angry feelings among the constitutional democrats and pro- gressives.
 The text of the address of the house to the Emperor, as drafted by the october lstS committee ana approved Dy the con servatives, declares it to be the intention Of parliament to carry out the principles of the octoberist manifesto, considering this to be the Emperor's will and ex- presses the hope that 1t will finally abol- ish anarchy and give the government an opportunity to make progress along the path of reform and to grant further civil liberty.

Some of them are camped tonight in the open air, while others have taken refuge in sun- terranean grottoes.
 Men and women. rich and poor. priests and soldiers, are thrown together and the devout are raising prayers to the Ma donna and the saints to help them in their misery. The gravity of the situation is increased by the inclemency of the weather
 A second violent shock was experienced in this town at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The people were thrown into a state of consternation, which was added to by the stories of further damage at Feruzzano. Assistance has been sent to this place.

Not Good Policy.

Washington, November 1S.-The decision of Secretary Taft to hasten his trip across Siberia and through Europe to Hamburg and thence home created no surprise in administration circles here. The secre- tarys political advisers were a unit to admonish him not to prolong his absence from the United States at this time, and in diplomatic circles it was not regarded good policy for him to visit few Flu ropean capitals and not all. Which of these arguments finally decided the secre- tary to change his mind is not known, but both probably carried weight.
