Who Will Handle inc Gavel al the Republican Convention
 in Chicago
IS AGREEABLE TO ALL

Washington, April 23.-ConventiOn politics are already under discussion at the capitol and some of the repub- lican leaders realizing the possible danger of friction developing between the rival aspirants for the nomination in connection with the organization of the convention in Chicago are eau tiously taking sounds to develop the attitude and probable course of action of various eligibles for the conven- tion officers. It is now learned that a strong effort is being made to induce Senator Lodge of Massachusetts to ac- cept the permanent chairmanship. His friends are urging that he pre- sents in his personality the best com promise elaments standing in a most favorable attitude towards each of the persons who have figured in the public prints as possible candidates for the republican nomination. The republican senator himself does not care to discuss the latter openly and in fact it is probable that it has not progressed beyond tentative stage.

Washington, April 23.-The sub. marine Investigating committee prob ed deeply into the authenticity ol certain anonymous communications which have figured in the investiga- tlon. On February 27 last, MT Lii. ley introduced resolution calling on the secretary of the navy for infOr- nation in regard to the cost and per. formance of submarines built by the Electric Boat Co. Adner Neff. an of. nclal of the Lake company, who has charge of the Washington office oi the Lake company, testified that he had prepared the resolution intro duced by MT Lilley, at the sugges- ton of Frederick B.

WILL NOT INCREASE RATES,
Unless Organized Movement Is Made
 By Trunk Lines.

New Haven, April 23.-Inquiry in railroad circles here indicates that the officials, including the directors, of the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Go, while approving of the general plan of the trunk line companies of increasing freight rates, VIII not do so, except as a part of an organized movement on the part of the trunk line companies to that end. The position of the New Haven com pany is that every possible effort has been made to reduce operating ax. penses, but without fully offsetting the losses in earnings caused by de- pression of business. As regards wages, there has also been a large re- auction of payments caused by redue. tion of hours, but organized labor has thus far refused to accept any gen. eral scaling of wages. If, therefore. wages are not to be reduced in a com pulsory way, the only resource lesf for the railroad to make good reduc- ed earnings, is an increase of freight rates. No increase of passenger rates by the New Haven company is likely to be considered in any event nor an increase of freight rates with out concerted action on the part ot other trunk lines, as stated. If i. understood here that any increase ot freight rates will not require any &C., ton on the part of the interstate commerce commission before becom. ing operative.

 Then he jumped into his elevator and running it to the top floor warned the tenants He took in as many as his car would hold, telling others t. run down the stairways. He made another trip to the fifth floor and a' he was starting on the third trip was joined by Policeman Baer of the East Fifty-first street station, who, getting out on the sixth floor, went through the house telling the tenants to es- cape. Laundy kept his car going ur ,andsdown as rapidly asipossias3es while Baer kept the stairways filled with fleeing tenants.
 By the time the firemen arrived tn, house was cleared of it's occupants Led by Fireman Martin Kelly, a squad from truck No went into th' cellar to attack the flames, which had started under the offices of Pocher & Go, real estate dealers, at No 409.

VERDICT HARD ON A HEALER.
Costs Him S2O,OOO to Pray Over a
 Patients Sore Toe.

New York, April 23.-The failure of pretended Christian Science meth ods to cure sore toe brought about verdict of $20,000 yesterday in the supreme court, given by jury before Justice Guy to Solomon Raisler. who had the sore toe and lost his left leg because the sore toe spread and made amputation necessary
 The defendant in the suit was Jul jus Benjamin of 343 Seventh avenue. He put in an answer denying respon- sibility for Raislers loss of leg. but he failed to appear to defend the suit and an inquest was ordered. with the re- suit that the jury promptly gave Rais- Ter all he asked.
 Benjamin's answer Is to the effect that he is a member of the Christian Science sect and believes in the etic- acy of prayer in alleviating pain with out medical attention. He was con suited by Raisler. he says, and made no pretence of administering medical care, but sought only to cure Raisler's sore toe by praying hard. The failure of his prayers to cure the toe was un- fortunate, said Benjamin, but he cer- tainly could not be held responsible for the subsequent conditions which made it necessary 10 amputate the leg.

TOLSTOI ON LIFE AND DEATH.
Expects to Be Happy Hereafter in a
 World More Real.

Paris. April 23.-"I know with certainty that in dying l shall be happy and that I shall enter a world more real"
 Count Tolstoi thus sums up his anticipations of death in reply to a friend who congratulated him upon his approaching eightieth birthday. All earthly life, he says. is a dream and death the true awakening. He awaits that awakening with happi- ness. Elaborating on this idea he says:
 Our earthly life is one of dreams of another and more real life, and that other life is a dream of yet another. and so on ad infini- tum even to the last life, the life Of God"
 Of death at different ages and under different circumstances he says:
 Death in youth is as when man is awakened before he has slept full measure. Death. in old age is as when a man wakes of his own accord after a good sleep. Suicide is as a nightmare which a man ban ishes by remembering that he is asleep. He makes an effort and wakes"
