Pathetic Human Documents.

But It was not so much the knowledge
OF tangled finances which made the scene
pathetic as It was the human documents
displayed in the crowd of 900 spectators
at the mortgage sale. and those documents,
which were undeeipherablS by stranger
were easily read by one who was well
acquainted with Rochester and it's people.
Close in front of the referee, ready to
make their formal bid. was the reorgani-
cation committee. The chairman, Walter
b. Duffy, is one OF the richest, busiest,
most respected men in Rochester. He was
giving his time and attention TO the work
Of the committee, not because his own
losses mounted up into six figures and
perhaps neared seven figures, but for the
benefit OF other investors who could not
afford to be wiped out and who had put
their money into independent telephone Sc
curities partly because OF his name and
his influence The same spirit animated
the other members of the committee, ex-
Mayor James G. Cutler and Harold p
Brewster, both prominent citizens, who
were serving for the public good. 1t was
not the Eastmans, Sibleys, Watsons. Fin
ucanes or their representatives that made
the scene pathetic These men had some
Of them lost a quarter or perhaps three
quarters of a million in the Inflated tele-
phone undertaking, but they are multi
millionaires and their losses in United States
Independent Telephone securities have
been offset by their profits in other direc-
tions and they would not send good money
after bad except that through their names
and their influence the savings of many
small investors had been drawn into the
enterprise

Still After William.

B,rlip, Nov. l1.-Wilh no appreci-
able diminution of interest, the Reich
stag began the second days debate on
Emperor william for his recent "in-
discretions. Prospects OF further violent
attacks on the emper u aud chancellor
brought crowd to the packed galleries.
None were disappointed. Some OF the
speakers were very severe 10 their ar
alignment OF the kaiser. Chancellor Won
Bnelow sat through the arraignment. II
is believed that only his loyalty to the
emperor in this trying hour prevents him
from yielding bis post. Just rs soon as
the atmosphere ba, cleared bit and the
people have ta4 On opportunity for for
getting the efia r, Won BueloW's friends
ay be will give up his post.
A slight swinging of the pendulum OF
popular favor toward the emperor wSs
noticeable today. One Gay of such fear
ful grilliug as he received in the Reich
star yesterday naturally srOusts some
pity for him. The spectacle OF his "sscre
rights" and "divine prerogatives" being
radely asiailed 10 the rational assembly
amid the jeers and ridicule of lawmakers
and spectators alike, is so radical that
the people are wondering whether a
little bit of it is not enough.

Threnta of Suffragettes.

London, Nov. 1.-The Woman's
Social and Political Union is predicting
the extension of franchise next year 10
all English women. The 1909 sufrsget Q
campaign ju,t outlined is to be the
fiercest the union ba, ever waged. The
main ha ures are: A $3.50, 900 CAM
psigu fund; the breaking up OF every
meeting at which a cabinet member is
scheduled to speak; continual raiding oil
the parlismeLt house whenever the Ms
tiopal legislative body is in sessioD; TO-
cessaDt crushing" of the ministers in
their own houses, at their offices and
whenever they venture out OF doors; or
gspizstion OF woman's cavalry troop,
both for advertising purposes and for the
more effective breaking OF police lines
during the contempI plated sufi:agette dem
constructions; concentration on the defest
of all liberal candidates for parliament
at by-elections. The union obtained
nearly $3.50, 600 last year, and its men,
bership has been largely increased. The
dates fixed for the various raids and
tushes" are kept secret for the present.
The union gives warning that there must
be no "false politeness.

fourth and successful ballot which elect
ed DR.. Harding was taken.
The morning session Of the conven-
ton was taken up with discussion as

ter much debate the convention decided
that the salary should be So, 900 per an
mum, the use OF house rent free and
81, 900 for The employment of q secre-
tary. An attempt to raise the sa'ary to
So, 900 was lost, but DR.. George Carter

deayoT to raise fund to be placed In
the bands of the bishop to be used by
him to pay for hospi atty or entertain
ment which was necessary to maintain
