HAUGHEY STILL on DECK.
His Football Experience Saturday Did
Not "Put Him Out"

Ugh! This athletic life is something
awful. am stiff in every muscle of
my body" These words emanated from
the deep bass voice box of John W.
Haughey, right guard of the old star
team in last Saturdays game, as he
started to walk from his home on Blu
chanan street this morning to his office
The cold north winds and the drop in
the temperature had driven home the
fact that he is no longer in the vigor
of youth. Well, he didn't walk down
town after all. He decided that the
street car was the thing for him. But
even this did not bring relief to his
stiffened muscles. AS he entered the
door of a West Sixth avenue car a sud-
den motion of the car knocked him
against the door sill and his troubles
became greater in proportion to the
population of the street car which
sweller to greater proportions at every
street crossing.
well, 1 don't suppose you will want
to play again next Saturday. was the
greeting he received from a. friend as
he entered his office in the Stormont
building.
Get that idea out of your head said
Mr.. Haughey. Football is a great game
and you will find this 'ex-star' playing

former experience when associated
with d. C. Elliot and Mr.. Ackley, of the
Field Columbian museum, in collecting
big game animals in the same portions
of Africa which Mr.. Roosevelt VIII

petition.

"AIr. Heller has had large exper-

America. In the year 1898 he made

CHAMP CLARK TO LEAD.
He Is Chosen by Democratic Caucus
to Succeed Williams.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Representa-
tive Champ Clark of Missouri, was
chosen minority leader of the house
at a caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of that body.
Mr.. Clark. in succeeding Mr.. Will
iams, who has been the Democratic
leader for six years takes up the
leadership with a united democracy
behind him. During the six terms he
has served in the house, he has won
the reputation among his admirers of
both parties of being one of its most
scholarly and eloquent members. AS
ranking minority membe of the ways
and means committee he has been
well to the front in legislative affairs
during the last few years.
The programme for the election of
the new leader was disarranged by
the retiring leader, Mr.. Williams. who
did not wait for the man selected to
nominate the Missouri representative
but performed that function himself.

NO MORE SOLID SOUTH.
Secretary Straus Tells Southern Com
mercial Congress Time Is Near.

Washington. Dec. What may
prove an epoch in the commercial
development of the south was the
opening today of the Southern Com
mercfal congress. an assemblage of
leaders in the nations business affairs,
whose mission is to discuss the re-
sources and industrial possibilities of
the south
The congress is one of several
bodies. all national in their scopes and
purpose, that assemble here this week,
for a more thorough study of the
problem of conversation.
Today's programme furnished a
series of notable addresses, the various
themes Ringing upon an interpreta-
ton of the resources of the southern
states
Among the speakers today were
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor, chairman of the
meeting; Surgeon General Walter Wy
man of the public health and marine
hospital service; Secretary of War
Luke E. Wright. and John F. Wal
lace of New York city.
Important exhibits were furnished
by the geological survey, department
of agriculture, forestry service, etc,
dealing with such subjects as density
of population. waterways, cotton pro-
ductiOn, geologic resources, mineral
wealth and growth of public educa-
ton.
Secretary straus referred to the
wonderful strides made by the south
in commerce during the last forty
years. He called attention to the fact
that the south economically and COM
mercially has come out from its sec
tionalism and that is now an impor-
tant and growing part of the whole
nation
az am one of those, who believe
said Mr.. Stratus, that the time is near
at hand when even politically it will
be misnomer to speak of the solid
south" This declaration met with
vociferous applause.
The morning session was concluded
with addresses by Surgeon General
WXman and Secretary of War Wright

expedition is to be QUILTED by the
Smithsonian institution, the president
defraying his own expenses, and will
gather natural history material for
the new national museum.
Mombasa will be reached in April
next year; but no detailed itinerary
beyond that place has been made, eX-
cept the general route to Lake Vic
toria Nyanza, and thence down the
Nile to Khartoum. where, it is expect
ed, the party will arrive about April,
1910.
The official statement follows:
''In March. 1909, Theodore Roose-
Welt will head a scientific expedition
to Africa, QUILTED by the Smithsonian
institution, and starting from New
York city.
''This expedition will gather natural
historical materials for the govern
ment collections, to be deposited by
the Smithsonian institution in the new
United States National museum at
Washington, D. G.
Besides the president and his son,
Kermit Roosevelt. the personnel of
the party on leaving New York will
consist of three representatives of the
Smithsonian institution, Major Edgar
A. Mearns, medical corps United
States army (retired); Edmund Hell
Ter and J. Alden Loring On arriving
in Africa, the party will be enlarged
by the addition of r. J. Cunning
hame, who is now in Africa. prepar-
Ing the presidents outfit. He will
have charge of a number of native
porters. who, with necessary animals
will be formed into a small caravan.
Roosevelt to Kill Big Game
Mr.. Roosevelt and his son will kill
the big game, the skins and skeletons
of which will be prepared and shipped
TO the United States by other members
of the party. Kermit Roosevelt is to
be the official photographer of the ex-
petition.
THE national collections are very de-
f1cient in natural history materials
from the Dark Continent, and an effort
will be made by the expedition to gath
er general collections in zoology and
botany to supply some of it's defcien-
cies, but the main effort will be to co..
lect the large and vanishin African
animals.
"R. J. Cunninghame who is now en-
gagged in assembling the materials for
Mr.. Roosevelt'S use. has been employed
to act as guide and manager of the
caravan. Mr.. Cunninghame is also an
experienced collector of natural history
specimens, having made collections for
the British museum in Norway and
Africa. He is an English field man,
who has guided numerous hunting par
ties in Africa. and who was chief hunt
er for the Field Columbian exposition.

NO CAUSE FOR SUICIDE.
Eckstromer's Family Can't Tell Why
He Did 1t.

st. Louis, Dec. Mrs. Eckstromer
can assign no reason for the sui
eide of her husband, the Swed-
ish vice consul. The other mem
bers of the family, two step
daughters, are also at loss to account
for his action. Mr.. Eckstromer was
81 years of age and seemingly in per-
fect health. His social and business
relations were of the best. So far as
can be learend he had no financial
troubles.
Eckstromer retired last night in
seeming good spirits after spending the
evening at home. An hour after he
had arisen this morning his body was
discovered. 1t was on couch, the
note and the bottle which had con-
tanned the poison being on a table
close by.
1t was his championing of the cause
of E. G. Lewis. publisher and organ
izer of the Peoples United States bank
that brought down the wrath of the
president on Eckstromer. In March,
1907, Eckstromer went to Washington
al the head of a committee of Lewis's
adherentS and asked for an audience
with the president. They wished to
tell President Roosevelt that in their
opinion the second class mail privi-
leges were being wrongfully withheld
from Lewis's publications. The presi-
dent refused to see them.
On his return to st. Louis, Eek
stromer wrote a letter to the presi-
dent in which he denounced Postmas-
Ter GSnSFdI COTtelyOu, accusing Iinl OF
unfairness. He also called the presi-
dents refusal to see the st. Louis COM
mittee "un-American and unjust"
This brought forth a statement from
the White House that EckStromer'S
letter was ''impertinent. uncalled for
and discourteous' and that the state
ments contained in it ''were untrue"
President Roosevelt notified the
minister from Sweden that Eckstro-
mer was persona non grata" and
forthwith Eckstromer's exequatur as
vice consul was revoked
At the solicitation of the Swedish
minister, Eckstromer later wrote an
apology to the president and in July,
1897. Eckstromer was reinstated as
vice consul

NO MACHINE FOR HIM.
Governor Hughes VIII Go Outside in
Making Appointments.

New York Dec. I'm a speech be-
fore the Republican club the other day
Governor Hughes said II desire to
thank most heartily all those who have
support of my candidacy and in support
of the other candidates of the tick
et'' and then he proceeded to say that
he should continue the policy in making
appointments he had followed during
his first term as governor-and that is
to select his subordinate officials from
outside the active party managers on
the unpopular theory that the victors
are not entitled to the spoils.
Secretary Root is going to be elected
to the United States senate, and PreSi-
dent Roosevelt will undoubtedly sue
coed DR.. Depew in 1911. which makes
a hopeless outlook for federal as well
as for state patronage, for none of
the three has any feeling for the ward
workers and the boys that sit up nights
to organize the election districts CIV
iIization is a failure so far as the lat
ter are concerned, and most of them
will be looking for jobs after the first
of January.
Governor Hughes nominated Taft for
a second term-a fact that has been
strangely overlooked by the New York
newspapers, although it has special sig
nificance because it has been expected
that Governor Hughes would himself be
considered an available candidate in
1912 What he said was this:
coincidence, like a balm, is healing
the wounds of strife. and We shall be
blessed for four years, and trust for
eight years, with the wise leadership
of the president elect, William Howard
Taft
Everybody was so agitated over the
governors remarks about the New York
state patronage that this pregnant sem
tence left no impression.
Nearly $150,000 worth of offices are
to be filled by Governor Hughes on the
first of January or shortly after, and
until now they have always carried
with them the control of the state
machine" The Republican party
has been managed by the off1ce-hold
ers, and the subordinate positions I'M

Gently have been filled by men who
do the active work of the campaigns.
They have organized the clubs; they
have served as watchers and work
ers of the polls; they have got out the
voters: they have collected campaign
subscriptions; they have done every
thing that has to be done by a
political party to elect it's candidates,
and have been rewarded by appoint
ments to office. A majority of the
subordinate members of the ina
