WOMAN GOLFERS HURT.
Mrs. Price Falls Down Stairs-Mrs.
Garrett Struck in Eve With Ball.

WILMINGTON, Del. October 2S.-Mrs.
S. c. Price of Philadelphia yesterday
morning fell down a flight of stairs at
the Wilmington Country clubhouse. and
only by the greatest luck escaped a
broken leg. Her knee is badly hurt
and may be stiff permanently. She was
carried home, and her match in the
womens golf tournament in progress
here was defaulted to Miss Mary Fris-
muth of Philadelphia.
Hardly had the excitement subsidized
when Mrs. Ronald Barlow of Philadel-
phia accidentally drove a golf ball against
the eye of Mrs. A. H. G. Garrett of
Wilmington. The bone just below the
eye caught the force of the blow. which
was broken. but Mrs. Garrett sustained
no serious injury to the eye.

MORSE GETS A RESPITE.
Keeps Out of Penitentiary Until Jan.

Keeps Out of Penitentiary Until Jan-
uary, by Agreement.
New York, Nov. 1O.-Charles w.
Morse, former ice king and banker,
sentenced to fifteen years in the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta, has been
given another respite. By the action
of the United States circuit court Of
appeals he will remain here till the first
week in January, tho Judge Hough.
before whom he was convicted, allowed
him only ten days.
Wallace McFarlane, counsel for the
prisoner, who is in the Tombs, argued
before the court that his client should
be admitted to bail, and he made the
statement that United States Attorney
Stimson had agreed to give him an
additional thirty days beyond Dec. 3.
when the writ of error, sued out be-
fore Judge Lacombe on Saturday,
should be returned. The circuit court
acquiesced in the understanding. To
the surprise Of the court and the law
yers, Mr. McFarlane said that Morse
today is Gin some respects in poverty"
He insisted that the reports that his
client Is multimillionaire were false.
and said that his assets would not pay
his liabilities, because his affairs were
tied up and he did not have control
Of them.
The court reserved decision Of ap-
plication for bail. It is rumored the
district attorney will insist on $1,000,-
600 bail, if the application Is granted.

Roosevelt considers the appointment of

the most important pieces of work he
has done, according to the statement

of the first hearing of the commission
at College Park. Md.
A gathering of representative Nary
land farmers was present at the first
hearing. DIR. c. w. Stiles. present as a
representative of the public health and
marine hospital service, declared that
typhoid fever is essentially a farm
disease in the southeastern states. The
discussion brought out the necessity of
better sanitary control.
Among the other topics discussed
We're the need of rearranging the cur
riculum of country schools, with a
view to making them of more direct
practical value to the farmer, the eff
fectiveness of the rural church, par
cells post, good roads and the formation
Of farming institutions. small local in
surance companies and cooperative
and buying agencies. The general con-
sensus of opinion favored all these.

ELIHu ROOT MAY BE SENATOR.
Secretary Of State to Succeed Platt as
New Works Choice,


Washington, Nov. 10.-Secretary Of
State Root will be elected successor of
Thomas C. I'latt as senator from New
York and take his seat in the senate
at the extra session next spring. This
prediction is made by Mr.. Roots friends
after a conference at the White House
between William l.. Ward, national
committeeman from New York, and
Speaker Wadsworth of the assembly
of that state.
After the conference the announce
ment was made that the president
would keep hands off, and this after
noon Mr.. Root gave out 8. statement
that he is not candidate for the SEN
atorship. AS declared in the state
ment, Mr.. Root has never been can
didate for any position.
State Chairman Woodruff of New
York is expected in Washington in a
few days to get in line for Mr.. Root.
He is an aspirant for senatorial hon
ors, as has been Mr.. Wadsworth, but
Mr.. Roots closest friends declare that
the road has been cleared, that all can
didates for the sena atorship will with
draw at the right time; that Mr.. Root
will be elected and will accept the Of
flee, which will carry with it's party
leadership in the state. The president,
while neutral is extremely + iendly to
such an arrangement.

Williams London Interview.

Berlin, Nov. 1O.-The opening debate
in the reichstag today ON Emperor
Williams interview as published in the
London Daily Telegraph found the
Chamber fuller than it ever has been
before on the occasion of an import
ant political event. Replying to the
critics of the government and emperor,
Chancellor Won Buelow calmly and
briefly explained the circumstances
preceding the publication of the Tele-
graph interview. He declared he had
decided to remain as chancellor. but he
could not say for how long.
Herr Bassermann, speaking for the
national liberals, said that the party
did not desire the resignation Of Won
Buelow, but it did want the elimination
of the personal element from the con-
duct of foreign affairs and the observ-
ance of the provisions Of the constitu-
tjon of the chancellor. Herr Singer, a
emperor therein, without the co-opera-
tion of the chancellor. Hers Singer, a
socialist, made the sensational declara-
tion that had any public servant ex-
cept the emperor made the statement
contained in the now famous interview,
he would be brought before the high
court and tried for treason. Singer
was greeted by socialist applause.
