Admiral Emory Rctircs.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
name of one of the bravest officers
who ever strobe the deck Of a man
of-war, Rear Admiral William Hem
sley Emory was today erased from
the rolls of the United States navy.
The admiral commanded the second
squadron and the third division Of
the Atlantic fleet during its trip
across the Pacific, and hauled down
his flag when the fleet was in Chinese
waters, preliminary to his retirement
today upon reaching the age limit al
loted to naval officers. Rear Admiral
Emory was born in this city Decem-
Der II, 1916. He graduated from the
Annapolis Naval Academy in 1866,
and his career since then, although
not spectacular, has been marked by
a diligent attention to duty that won
for him the rank Of rear admiral.

SARDINE CROP SHORT.
American Variety May Become De-
cidedly Scarce i'm FRure.

Portland. Me-, Dec. 17.-That de-
lectable dainty, the American sar-
dine, which isn't really a sardine at
all. may become decidedly scarce in
the near future, owing to the short
age of the crop along the Maine coast,
where nearly all the domestic sar-
dimes are packed. The combine"
which is alleged to be in practical
control Of the business, and which
was recently the subject Of an Off
cial investigation because Of alleged
trust-like proclivities, produced this
season 22 per cent. less than was an
ticipated, and the independent pack
ers also report a shortage.
This was said to be due to differ
cnces with the fishermen during the
early part Of the season.
As a result OF the falling off in
prices offered by the trade, the pack
ers have ben storing heavily and
every available storehouse was filled,
but even at that there probably will
be no more goods than the trade will
demand this winter and next spring
as the mid-season buying was light
because Of the general condition Of
trade.
The Maine Mercantile company ex-
pected to pack 100000 cases, but
instead produced 100000 cases. The
independent factories packed 10000
cases. There are 100000 cases in
storage.

FEW MORE DAYS AND

Yet for Some Energetic

Those in Front-Frances Smith Is

Geraldine Froome Increases Her

All the little ones are now on the
anxious seat. The question is who
will win Togo and Teddy? The race
is only half run. While but a few
days remain in which to work, it is
the days of the highest tension and
most effective vote getting. Many of
the friends of the contestants wait
until the last moment before showing
the interest they have had from the
beginning.
There is very little change in votes
of contestants today. Frances Smith
and Geraldine Froome have gone up a
notch higher while the balance are
about the same. Saturday will be the
last day of the double voting and will
probably change many of contestants
standing However, we believe the
heavy voting will come on the last day.

TARIFF TRAINERS
ARE STILL BUSY

Washington, December 2s.-The work of
sumed today by the subcommittee of the
House ways and means committee Two
meetings were held today and there is
every likelihood that the tariff framing
commission which consists Of the repub-
lican members of the full committee, will
continue to hold daily meetings until the
time comes to report the bill to Congress
at the special session in March. Hundreds
of letters and briefs are being received
by the committee daily and the sugges-
tions offered and changes requested are
varied Judge E. II. Gary has returned
the printed copy of his testimony with
the corrections he desired made in the
final report of the hearings. He does not
change the substance of his testimony,
but has made several corrections in the
figures which he gave while on the stand
before the committee.
The tariff trainers are giving much con-
sideration to the maximum and mini
mum duty problem in connection with the
new tariff. Although the United States
was the first to apply this method of
securing favorable trade relations with
other countries it has never applied the
principle to more than a few articles,
while several foreign countries have
adopted the system to cover everything
If maximum and minimum tariff bill
became a law it will be possible for the
President TO extend the benefit Of the
minimum tariff to those countries which
give to this country the benefit of their
differential rates of duty.
The United States has trade treaties
With France, Germany, Italy, Portugal,
Spain and Switzerland, granting a reduc-
tion in the duties on certain articles only,
and while it is very probable that these
reciprocity treaties will be provided for
in the tariff bill now being prepared. it
is quite likely that these countries will
endeavor to get the benefit of all mini
mum rates from the United States In ex-
change for similar concessions.
It is said that the differential will be
about 20 per cent.

CANDIDATES FOR SENAToRSHIP
FROM OHIO GATHER AT CoLUM-
BUs-ENTRY OF A DARK HORSE
NOT EXPECTED.

Columbus, o., December 2S-With the
arrival of Senator Joseph B. Foraker this
evening, the three leading candidates for
the United States senatorship are here
1t was said today that Senator Dick would
come tomorrow. The belief obtains among
observers of the contest that there is
little chance for a dark horse to be
elected.
The arrival of former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Harding started rumors that the
Taft supporters might go ii him rather
than see the prize won by Burton, If the
latter seemed to gain strength.
State Oil Inspector Phipps leading
Taft supporter, called on Mr. Burton to-
day by request. AS a result of their con-
versation 1t became known that the ques-
tion of state patronage is to figure in the
outcome. If Mr.. Burton is friendly with
three state senators from Cleveland his
home, through them he wields an infiu-
ence which, II used, could be made to
bring to his support the recess appointees
of Governor Harris, who are to come be-
fore the senate at its coming session fer
confirmation.
Mr.. Phipps Is one of these recess ap-
pointees, but is not making any effort to
retain his place. The question of his at
titude on the United States senatorship
therefore, will not be changed by an in
timation that his confirmation may be
held up in the senate. He SO Informed

ANTS-DEFENSE PLEADS ALlBl.

Union City, December 2S..-The sudden
illness of Arthur Cloar, one of the defend
ants in the night-rider cases, caused a
suspension of the trial this afternoon
The state had completed its testimony and
had rested.
The defense had put up two witnesses,
Bud Morris and Sam Applewhite, both
defendantss Both men denied any connec-
ton with the night-riders and gave an
account of their whereabouts on the night
of the murder of Captain Rankin
The defense laid the foundation for a
complete albi and proposed to put all the
defendants on the stand, one by one, and
corroborate their testimony by members
of their families. When the defense
reached the testimony of Arthur Cloar,
it was announced that he was i'll, and on
the testimony of a physician, court ad-
journed until Tuesday morning. The in
disposition of the witness was pronounced
temporary and the defense promised to be
ready to resume in the morning.

DISCUSS GOVERNMENT.
Fifth Annual Meeting of Political Sci
ence Association.

Washington, December 2S.-With
James Bryce, the British ambassador
persiding, the American Political Sci
ence association met here today in
fifth annual meeting. The general
topic for consideration was the Gin
crease of federal influence and power
in the United States"
One of the principal papers was by
Stephen Leacock, McGill university,
Canada, on "The Limitations Of the
Federal Government"
In the course of the discussion Prof
Henry Jones Ford of Princeton univer-
sity declared that neither the power
nor the responsibility essential to DEM
ocratic rule was embodied in the Amer
lean state. He asserted that the eff
forts of reformers were directed to the
conditions under which power was
gained rather than to the conditions
under which power was exercised.

Points of Decision.

Washington, December 2S.-A Long dis
patch received at the state department
from American Minister William L. Mer-
ry of Costa Rica gives in detail the
points of the decision of the Cartago,
Central American court of Justice, in
the complainant of Honduras charging
Salvador and Guatemala with promoting
the Honduras revolution of last July. The
essential feature of this decision, that
the charges were not proved and no costs
were allowed by the court, already has
been announced. All the members of the
court voted against the allowance of
costs except the one from Honduras. The
court denied a contention made by Gaute-
mala that the Honduras complaint was
inadmissible for the reason that diplo-
matte action had not been exhausted. On
all other issues the court cast negative
vote.
