ALL FOR UNCLE JOE.
The Speakers Reelection by Unani-
nous Vote Is Predicted.

Chicago, Nov 9.-RepubIican con-
gressional headquarters in this city
closed with the final announcement
that 213 Republicans had been elect
ed to the Sixty-first congress, and that
clear majority OF the Republican
members elect are pledged to support
speaker Cannon for reelection
There is no question about the
election of Speaker Cannon" said one
OF the prominent officials, who was
connected with the Cannon presiden-
tiai boom prior to the Chicago con-
vention, and who has been at the con-
during the campaign
kilograms and letters from sue
cessful candidates in the congression-
al districts have been received here
IN quantities sufficient to warrant the
assertion that there will be no opposi-
ton to Uncle Joe in the Republican
caucus at Washington and that he
viii be reelected unanim ously."
1t was suggested some formidable
candidates We're in sight, notably
from Iowa.
"All bunk . said this official.
Congressman Fowler has been sug-
gested, but he is merely 'peeved' be-
cause the currency bill was taken
away from his committee on banks
and banking. He will not even show
when the time comes"
Speaker Cannon will meet a num-
Der OF western congressmen in con-
CdNC hCAO COudy- Inc
of the next congress, and plans for
the short session of the present con-
gress, were discussed. Tuesday the
speaker will go east for a conference
with the house committee on ways
and means, and the advisability of
tackling tariff revision at the short
session will be gone over. 1t is said
that the conference between Speaker
Cannon and Chairman Hitchcock here
was on this point exclusively.
Concessions are reported to have
been made by both sides which go far
to eliminate all possible opposition to
the reelection of Speaker Cannon
which might emanate from the pres
ent administration, the personal lieu
tenants of President elect Taft or
from the Republican national COM
mittee.

RoCKEFELLER's NEW HOME.
Standard Oil Head Can Now Dodge
the Process Services.

New York, Nov. 9.-Last Sunday
John D Rockefeller spent his first
day about his new million dollar
castle at Pocantico Hills. and he was
as happy over it as a newly-wed is
over his $25-a-month four-room
apartment.
The veteran financier paid very lit
tie attention to the new house and
it's surroundings while it was being

abode to the golf links. he didn't
bother about it. So he had quite lot
of inspecting to do
With his son, John D., jr., and his
wife. Mr. Rockefeller spent several
hours walking about the outside of the
house. Here there is a labyrinth
of paths which blocks the approach
of stranger.
All the paths which would appear
to be natural roads of ingress either
around a circle that brings the
traveller back to his starting point
The roadways literally form a mystic
maze such as one finds at amusement
parks. It would be a lucky stranger
who could find his way from the
lawn to the house within 10 minutes.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked about these
paths with an amused smile upon
his tanned face. John D., jr-. who
managed the construction of the
place, of course, knows the direct
and down several of the blind paths.
The house itself is likewise full of
secret passageways and doors. 1t
would be next to impossible for any
one not familiar with the details to
find his way about the house

Senator Curtis today, will be the dis
cussion of appropriation bills. The
house may, take up the discussion. of

does not finally come on for passage
a discussion in the house would serve
to bring out the weak places in the
bill and make it easier to get the bill
on for passage later on"

Mir. and Mrs. John Horton have taken charge of the dining depart ment of the Grand Canyon hotel, Mrs. Stockton retiring. Mrs: Hor- ton is attending 10 the hotel busi- ness while Mir. Horton retains his position at the Cabinet. The new management will endeavor to inn prove the service, if possible. and incidentally to realize some tinan- cial return on the time, energy and money it takes to operate a business of that kind. The finan- cial difficulty has put da amper on the tourist travel, and the hotel business has therefore suffered considerably. Mrs Stockton con- ducted the business for several months, successfully, but decided to quit because of decreasing business. The hotel is one of the most important businesses in the town, and should have the earnest consideration of local people. By giving their patronage and encour- agement the local people can assist the hotel in esta blishing a reputa- ton for excellence that will indi- rectly benefit the town.
