from eight to twelve of higher education offer
small pecuniary inducement and every day see law
DOCTORS and especially teachers leaving the
field Of their chosen endeayor accepting positions in
business.
The conditions surrounding the life of the profess
sional man or woman usually pleasant enough but
in the long run the compensation too small
to attract the best class Of workers
The salaries Of teachers often rdiculousy low

Castro within his own party which is liable at any moment to sweep the republic like wildhre and prevent Ven- ezula's dictator from returning.
 Acting President Gomez has had his hands tied by the departing Presi- dent and no matter how much his per sonal desire may be for reforms to lift from Venezuela the now insupportable le burden of monopolies and no matter how much he may wish to settle the pending International disputes which have brought stagnation 10 the life of the nation he can do nothing. To fol- low any radical course would mean jail and irons for him and his parti- sans on General castros return.
 President Castro, on. leaving, left tn- structions that his cabinet be retained in its entirety and that no change be made in any of his policies.
 President Castro cannot return to Venezuela until next February and be- fore that time many events may hap pen. any one of which might cause the crisis which would start the wave of reaction against his policies which would give General Gomez a chance to rehabilitate Venezuela.
 Already there have been several demonstrations by the university stu dents who have tried to march in a body to Corners house, but with the aid of the police he has been suc- cessful so far in expressing this anti Castro movement.

PRISONER HEARS VERDICT

San Francisco, Dec. I0.--Abram Ruef, former political boss of San Francisco. was convicted today of bribery.
 The verdict was returned at 4o'ciock when the deliberations of the jury had been prolonged throughout twenty four hours The. warnings of Judge Win. P. Lawler and the vigilance of the police checked all attempted de- monstratIons. The trial which has been in progress for i0s days. ended with surprising abruptness. The day had almost passed without sign or inc timation from the curtained chamber on the upper floor of Carpenters Hall The hopes of Ruef and his attorneys had risen with every hour of delay and the adherents of the prosecution were proportionateiy discouraged.
 With numbers and interest undimin- ished. the hundreds of spectators who have clung about the court room dur. ing the closing hours, retained their seats in the chamber or stood patient ly In long line opposite the entrance, with strong detail of police watch ing vfgilantIy for the first sign of dis order and patroiling every approach to the hall.
 As the jury fled Into the court room and took their seets in the jury box. Judge LawleE asked Foreman McNam- ara: Have you gentlemen reached a verdict"
 We have" replied the foreman as he handed a folded slip of paper to Clerk Welch An impressive silence followed as the clerk read the fatal words: we, the jury, find the de- fendant. Abraham Ruef. guilty as charged"
 Ruef sat between his father and Thomas B. Dozier. of the defense, when the verdict was returned.
 He had spent the greater part of the day In conversation with his aged par- ent, and though his face paied and his eyes remained fixed for a long time upon the men who had pronounced his fate. almost his first thought was for the elder Ruef He whispered few words of encouragement to the aged man and sant him oiit of tlie room ta break Ahe news to the aefendapt's E mother and sisters.
 By previous agreement of counsel that the bill of exceptions should be settled later. the court set next Sat- urday. December 12 as the day Tor pronounclng judgment
 Ruefs conviction renders him liable to a maximum penalty or fourteeh years in the penitentiary.

 on Them.
 Washington. Dec. 10.--Wul. H. Taft President-elect said tonight that 1t was his belief that the House of Rep- resentatives would make an honest and thorough revision of the tariffn at the extra session which he is to call for that purpose upon his inauguration as President.
 This belief he bases on confer. ence hs had yeaterday with Speaker Cannon and session today with the .Republiean members of the Ways and Means Cofnnittes uf the House of Rep- reSent tat tiveK xEtsen klic BueE geAf f6f was made that the Senate would un- doubtedly have s01nethlag to do with 8 tarin bill after the House had passed it. he replied that there was also some. body else who would have something to do with the bill which interpreted. through the medium of previous ut- terances indicates clearly that Mir. Taft is determined even to the exer- else of the veto power. to prosecute the pledges of the party. Mir. Taft said that lie had been somewhat mis- led regarding the attitude of the Speak CT by the press reports Of MT. Cam non's speech in November before the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. The official report of that speech, he said, ' impression. Mr. Taft's covering both his interview yesterday with Mir. Cam | non and that today with the Republi- cans on the Ways and Means Commit | tee follows:
 "I had an interview with Mir. Can non yesterday and with his concur renee and at a suggestion of the mem | bers of the Ways and Means Commit l tee. with the Republican members of i that committee this afternoon and from my conversation with them and | the discussion which followed and the examination they are conducting. and l. expect to conduct. I have every reason to be confident that they are keenly, alive to the obligation which is on | them, as representatives elected to rep resent the Republican Party. to pre- | pare an honest and thorough revision | of the present tariff. I was informed that they have taken three times as much evidence as has been taken in | the preparation of other tariffs and | that they are going to make addition al efforts to get at the evidence them selves by the use of subpoenaes and under oath with a view to reaching | the difference in the cost of production | of the various articles brought within l the tarif here and abroad.
 "I found them quite anixous for as much harmony as possible, in which I sympathized with them and prepared | for consultation on points of difficulty that might arise at any time in the future The plan is to prepare bill on such evidence as they have and 1 will have in the course of the hear l ings and then to call for additional evidence as to the items whenever 1t 1 should seem necessary. Not only from conversations with the members to- gether but with the members individ- I ualIy. I am quite convinced that they are in good faith going to prepare
 bill which shall be thorough re- 1 vision on the basis of the platform of the Republican Party"

The Speaker, however, declared that he would vote for appropriations reported by the hiv- CTS and Harbors Committee under the leadership of Representative Burton, who, he said, had done more work along waterway Improvements than any other man in Congress. The ad- dress of Speaker Cannon was easily the feature of the days proceedings. In picturesque language driving home a point here and there. with some apropos story, Uncle Joe" delivered what might be termed heart-to-heart talk.

Cannon said that 1t was because such legislation would beget that kind of com mbination that would put great quantities of ili-advised projects upon the country and that there would be a serious accounting Therefor later on.
