HALE THE SENATE LEADER.

v. s'liAston. Dec. "a largely at
tended caucus of Republican senator's
today unanimously elected Senator
Hale of Maine as chairman of the Re-
publican caucus to succeed the late
Senator Allison OF Iowa. The position
carries with it the craftsmanship of
the representative steering committee
OF the Senate. which determines all i'm
portant legislation in the Senate and
also imposes the duty of selecting
members of the committee on commit
tees, all of them very important duties.
Senator Hales nomination was the
only one before the caucus and the
meeting did not continue for more than
half an hour. His name was suggested
by Senator Carter of Montana, who
oulozies Senator Allison and spoke of
Mr.. Hale as a worthy successor. He
predicted that Mr.. Hale would make
one of the most successful leaders the
party ever had on the floor of the Sem
ate.
After the election, Mr.. Hale spoke
briefly. thanking the caucus for the ex-
preston of confidence which his elec-
tion implied and paying a glowing
tribute to Senator Allison's worth as a
man and his capacity as leader.
No action was taken in the matter OF
providing committee places for Sena-
tors Cummins of Iowa and Page of
Vermont, beyond the announcement
that the committee on committees
y ould take up this question at an early
date.

CASE OF CRAFT
Against Pres. MCCULLOUGH,
Boston City Council.
Alleged That He Approved 5000
Bill, Knowing II False.
Attorney Cassidy InvoIved...Books
Bought But Never Delivered.

Boston, Dec. "a report in which it
is stated that from evidence received
it appears that President F. McCul-
l0ugh of the Boston common council
approved bill upon the city for 5000,
which he knew to be false, and that
the city paid this amount and received
nothing in return, was sent late today
tc Mayor Hibbard, the common coun-
Gil and the district attorneys Office by
the finance commission which is inves-
tigating the finances of the city. The
report states that the city paid 5000 on
June 80 last on a bill for a set of
Massachusetts law reports for use in
the office of the president of the cont
mon council, the payment being made
to James Il. Cassidy, local attorney
The purchase of such books had been
authorized by the common council, but
the finance commission. upon investi-
CATION, found that the books were not
and apparently never had been in the
office of the president. The commission
questioned Mr.. Mccullough. who stat
ed under oath that he bought the books
from Cassidy last March at cost of
$3.50, of which he personally paid $3.50
Tough further testified that the books
were now at his residence in South
Poston, but would be taken to the City
hall at the expiration of his term of
Office or when anyone demanded them.
Cassidy, the report states, testified
that he never sold the books to Nc
Cullough or to the city, and that the
only set of such reports he ever had
owned he sold to local publishing
house in 1907. He said that at McCul-
lough's request he had made out the
bill for the books, Mccullough telling
him that there was "some money COM
ing" to Mccullough from the city,
which required some red tape" to col
lect. Cassidy said that when McCul
lough, or some one representing him,
notified him over the telephone that the
money was ready and at the city au-
ditor's Office, he went there, accompa-
! MED by two men whose names he
| claimed to be unable to give and whom
he found in McCulloughs office Cas-
| sidy said that one of these men took
! the money after Cassidy had receiptcd
the bill and the cashier had handed
! out the check for $200 A clerk in the
auditors office testified to the commits
sion that such payment was made to
Cassidy.
| Inquiry by the commission at McCul-
lough's South Boston residence showed
that the books in question were not
there. The report concludes:
From the foregoing evidence it ao-
pears that a bill was made by Cas-
i sidy at McCulloughs request which
was false and known by both to be
false. but was approved by Mccullough
as president of the common council. on
i which the city paid 5000 and received
nothing in return. The commission calls
the attention of the mayor, city coun-
ell and district attorney to the fore
going facts"

Among Public Men In England.

City of Mexico, Dec 9.-"In my
opinion and in the opinion of some of
the best versed public and military men
in Great Britain, war between England
and Germany muN come, and 1t will
come within the next two years"
This was the statement made yester-
day by Frederick J. M. Rhodes, cousin

lie In the interest of large mine own
ers. He has just returned from a trip
tc England.
while in England l talked to some
OF the best versed men in military,

the opinion unanimous that war with
Germany was inevitable" continued
Mr.. Rhodes. Il was in conversation
one day with high official of English
forces in China several years ago. In
this conversation he stated positively
that war with Germany is inevitable.
And continued this high naval

Large Attendance at Annual Meeting Of
State Daifymen's Association--An-
nua| Banquet In the Evening.

Dexter, Me. Dec. 9.-(SpeciaN.-
There We're several interesting address
es at todays sessions of the Maine
State Dairymen's Association. The ses-
sion was called to order at $50 O'Clock
this morning with President Frank S.
Adams of Bowdoinham IN the chair.
There was Il large attendance. The
first speaker was DIR. G. NJ. Twitchell
of Auburn, who discussed THE Corn
crop of Maine and How to Improve il. -
The idea entertained by many that
farm produce could be purchased
cheaper than it could be grown, said
Or. Twitchell, was the greatest check
on the farm development of Maine
Success in stock growing can be in
sured only in decreased dependence on
the home grown crops, corn. next to
grass, bring orr chief reliance. No
where does Tie flint corn perfect itself
more completely than throughout
southern ard central Maine. and no.
where Is greater yield per acre pos
sihle. He thinks there is great danger
today that attention may be diverted
from this to other profitable cash
crcps, and its place in the complete
systenl of rotation overlooked

Census Bill Passed-Provides for 18Th
and Coming Censuses.

Washington, Dec. 9.-t'or nearly five
hours the House of Representatives to-
day considered the bill providing f9r
the taking of the 18th and subsequent
decennial censuses and passed it with
ont material change. From the very
outset of the debate it became evident
that the progress of the measure to-
ward passage would be inpeded by
numerous amendments and by the ar
guments which they developed
X Prolonged animated, and at times
heated discussion was precipitated over
an amendment by Mr. Gilett of Mas
sachusetts. who sought to have the
temporary census force authorized by
the bill with the exception of few
minor positions, appointed upon the
basis of competitive instead OF non
competitive examinations.
At 445 P. NJ, the House adjourned

While no statistics are available as

Gays, one if not two ears to q stalk.

This means that if an acre Of corn

Is it possible to reach these figures
