OLYMPIC TRY-OUTS.
BY E. r. Bushnell.

With the intercollegiate championships
at Philadelphia out of the way the fol
lowers of track and field athletics are
turning their attention once more to the
Olympic games. the final try-outs for
which occur next Saturday at Franklin
Field Although the try-outs themselves
would attract the greatest attention any
how. there is another reason which lends
peculiar interest to this meet. This is the
fact that the try-outs will result IN a
great struggle between the best of the
college and club athletes of the east This
is the first time on record that any meet
has been arranged in this country of suf-
ficient importance to bring the college
and club men together.
Until the last few years the college
men have been admittedly supreme in
track and field athletics. but the progress
of the club men has been SO rapid that
they now challenge the supremacy of the
collegians. New York supplies most of
the club athletes, and SO great is the
confidence of the club men that one of
them former A. a. L. champion, boldly
predicts that the club men Will outscore
the collegians , to l in the Franklin Field
meet. Accordingly, although the meet is
held primarily to select the American
Olympic team the settlement of the
struggle between these two factions will
be watched with just as much interest
The events on the program are the same
as will be contested in the Olympic meet.
All of the distances will be the resula-
ton Olympc distances.

1000 sTEVEDOREs
WERE At WORK

Yesterday afternoon there were five
steamships of large tonnage at the Eva
side of the harbor at one time, and
they gave that part of the harbor a
most interesting appearance. TfeA5as-
kan and the Nevadan were at Rail-
road Wharf No. L, discharging general
cargo. The Nevadan's cargo is prin-
cipally -four, grain, feed and hay from
the Sound region. The Alaskan's cargo
is. largely merchandise from New York
by way of the Tehuantepec route. The
Alameda was at Railroad Wharf No 2
taking on sugar from Oahu Railway
cars. The British Steamship Hamp-
stead, Captain Hill, had just finished
discharging 1876 tons OF coal for the
Oahu Railway. The Hongxong Maru
was at the Hackfeld Wharf.
At the other end of the harbor the
British Steamship Lord Stanley was
discharging coal for the Inter-Island
Company. The schooner Alice Cooke
was discharging lumber near by, and
the Astral was discharging coal at the
Naval Wharf.
It was estimated that thousand
terday lading or discharging dep sea-
going vessels in the harbor of Homo
lulu, this number not including those
on island steamers or island
nor the hundreds of team
sters and others Who We're engaged
about the docks, either hauling freight

mENDs MIND AND BODY.
Patient Treated With Thyroid Extract
Improves.

London, Lee. 24.-The experiment of
treating with thyroid extract girl
physically and mentally undeveloped
has had a remarkable success. The
patient is Mildred Hart, who, altho
% years old, had the development of
a child of orly years. and was thirty
three inches tall. Her teeth was the
same as a child's, her skin was cold
and harsh, and her facial features were
undeveloped. The soft spot on the
top of a baby's head could be fel.
on her She had no appetite and was
mentally unobserving. This was in
October.
A physician, diagnosing the absence
of the thyroid secretion, took charge
of the child. He administered twelve
and a half grains Of the extract of
thyroid in the blands daily. The pa
tient now has grown two and a half
inches. He. skin is moist and warm,
her face is considerably developed, and
she has cut several new teeth. She
is constantly hungry.
The most wonderful change, how
ever, is in her mental condition. She
has become extraordinarily loquacious,
using vocabulary she could not have
acquired in two months, which shows
that she unconsciously listened to and
stored up words without the power of
employing t.lem.

coNFEssEs TO ARSON
Sensational Developments in Suit
Brought to Collect $4,000 Insurance
on Philadelphia Concern.

Philadelphia, Dec 24.-sensational
Testimony was brought out in the
United States court here today in the
suit of John M. Carroll, owner Of the
Fri & Freslin company carpet plant in
Camden, N j., which was destroyed
by fire some years ago, against John
w. Snyder and William Bergan, insur-
ance brokers, to recover $4,000 on
policies of insurance. 1t was testified
yesterday for defense by James A. Car
roll, nephew of John M. Carroll, that
his uncle and others had entered into
a conspiracy to burn the plant. Among
others he implicated John Graeff, the
watchman Graeff took the witness
stand today and testified that he not
only was implicated in the burning
of the plant, but for the last four years
had made several attempts to black
mail John M. Carroll and had sue
ceeded in securing several thousand
dollars He sent Carroll a letter, he
said, demanding $4,000 under threat
to expose him, but, he added, he did not
get the money. "Old man Carroll was
bleeding the insurance companies"
witness declared, "I thought might as
well get my share"

WOULD AMEND CONSTITUTION.
No Provision for Succession If Pres
ident- Elect Should Die.


Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Ba-
cons bill providing for an amendment
to the federal constitution relating to
the presidential succession, is the con-
crete expression of a situation which
confronts the United States once in
four years, beginning the day after the
presidential election, and continuing
until the fourth day of the follow
ing March. There is nothing in the
constitution providing for the presi-
Dental succession in case the presi-
dent-elect were to die prior to inaugu-
ration day. Such an omission should be
promptly remedied, and yet, such is the
situation in which the country finds
itself, that this important matter has
been permitted to drag along for gen.
erations without serious attention.
A brief statement Of the situation
will be sufficient to impress the public
with it's Importance
The process Of electing president
of the United States extends over a pc
riod Of six to eight months. 1t begins
with the nomination of the candidates
for that office at the great party con-
ventions, usually held in June and July.
This part of the process does not end
until after the votes have been counted
on election night in November. Then
comes the constitutional choice of the
members of the electoral college, this
being made on the second Monday in
January following the election in No
vember After this comes the formal
counting Of the electoral votes and the
announcement Of the election, in the
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-12-24

hall of the house Of representatives, In
the presence of the house and senate,
on the second Wednesday in February.
On the 4th of March the affair is con-
cluded when the new president is given
the oath of office by the chief justice
of the supreme court in the presence
Of a great crowd of people in the open
air at the east front of the capitol.
But what would happen If presi-
dent-elect should die, or be otherwise
disqualified from discharging the duties
Of his prospective office, at a given
point in the long process just re-
ferred to?
In several contingencies the course
Of action would be tolerably clear.
Should candidate die prior to the
November election, his place might be
filled by new national convention, or
by the national committee of his party.
II death should occur after the No
vember election, but prior to the as
sembling of the electoral college. the
electors would be qualified to make
their own choice, and in the event of
their failure to do so, the choice would
fall upon the house of representatives,
as was the case when John Quincy
Adams became president.

TO PAY Ex-PREslDENTs.
Roosevelt in Favor of Annuity After
Salary Ceases.


Salary Ceases.
Washington, Dec. "a. President
Roosevelt favors raising the salary of
the president of the United States to
100000 He also would be glad to
see his successors, when they retire
from office, receive a government an
nuity of $4,000 or $4,000.
Should congress decide that the pres
ident is underpaid and pass the Bourne
bill raising his salary to 100000, after
March rext, Mr.. Roosevelt will ap-
prove the measure with his signature.
In regard to the life annuity for eN-
presidents, he does not wish such an
institution applied to himself, but for
those who come after him he considers
such a asprcWision proper to make. He
thinks ut will largely solve the worries
of the people who are agitating the
problem OF what to do with our ex-
presidents, and inasmuch as there are
many presidents who are possessed OF
only moderate means when they enter
the White House and who are certainly
as poor when they leave it, it would
ibe the fai. thing for the government
to do to provide means for them IN
their retirement to private life.
President Roosevelt believes that the
heavy demands on the presidents pri-
vate purse for entertainment and gem
eral functions are such as to cause the
average man who holds the position to
retire from it with practically nothing
on hand but experience and prestige.

CT court of Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison by Justice Wright yesterday
will be threshed over at meeting of
the executive council of the Federation

President Gompers was not at his Of

given out there as to where he could
be found. Secretary Morrison who was
given the lightest sentence of the trio
of leaders, six months, was at the fed
Grafton headquarters, however, busy
with his routine duties. Active steps in
framing a fight against the carrying
out of the sentences are not likely until
next week. Morrison said today the plan
SO far as the officials of the federation
themselves foresee is to do nothing
about it until after the holidays.

STOP SENATE COSMETICS.
House Finds Fault With Purchase Of
IaIcom Powder by Senators.


Washington, Dec. N24.-Omens of a
row are discernible between the I'm
tied States senate and the house of
representatives over such comparative
ly innocent a,ctive constituents as
seidlitz pow s cephalgine. soda
mint tAblets, q . oil, oil of rose. Cop
enhagen sn s glycerin, oil of ber-
gamot, salt tartar, listerine and
numerous s first aids to the injured
consumed 5 arge quantities by the
senate at : public expense.
The hf committee on approprla-
tions hs = own down the gauntlet by
cutting Of the legislative appro-
priatio,. | $4,000 intended for the
purchase of these necessities for the
senate. The husky. house members
who probably do not spend IS cents
year on the delicate reflnements to
which senator's become accustomed, are
apparently unable to appreciate the
need for the government to put up
$S15.21 a year for each senator for the
purchase of talcum powder. castor oil
and such other articles as those enum-
Grated above.
1t remains to be seen what the sem
ate will do about this. For the house
to take such a liberty with the per-
sonal affairs of the senator's is re-
garded by some as an insult by the
side of which Roosevelt's secret serv-
ice message fades into comparative
insgnificance. NFor time unreckoned
the annual reports of the expenses of
the senate have revealed. with .callous
disregard for public opinion, that the
senate caused the public treasury to
pay for quantities of things of the
most purely personal character.
In addition to the articles already
mentioned. there have been bought
