HERE'S A TECHNICALITY
Condemned Murderer Legally Dead,
 So Can't Be Hanged, Is Plea.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-That Herman Bill lek, convicted of the murder of sever al members of the Vzral family, is already dead in the eye of the law, was the plea set up before Judge Barnes to-day in an endeavor to save Billel from the gallows. Judge Barnes had set to-day for passing sentence on the prisoner, but in the light of arguments presented he had postponed the matter until November II. Blllek was sentenced to be hang ed last summer. on the day set for the execution Billck was given leave to appeal to the supreme court of tho United States. The state authorities, although the order of execution had not been rescinded made no move to carry out the death sentence pending action by the high court at Wash ngton. That court found that 1t had no Jurisdiction and the case came back to Judge Barnes for re-sentence.
 It is now claimed that in the ab- sence of any order resembling or post ponlng the previous sentence of death Bilek in legal theory already is dead and hence cannot be sentenced to pay any penalty whatsoever.

LORD MlLNER'S LAST
Says Canada Must Decide Question of
 Independence in Next Four Years.

Montreal, Que, Nov, 4--Lord Miner made the last speech he will make in canada this afternoon. It was an ap- peal to imperialism of the higher type He said in part:
 "Ihero Is one remark I have often heard from Canadians, not from Eng lishmen, and that is that the public life in Canada Is unattractive because there are no big issues, That seems to me to be an extraordinary point Of view. No big issues! The next years are going to determine whether Canada will remain part of the British Em- pirc. The decision of that question rests with Canadians alone. No ex- ternal compulslon could be, certainly none ever would be exercised to innu- ence it. It rests with them alone--tho decision of that question: and with that question perhaps the decision of the fate of the empire as whole. Even in its badly organized condition, the empire was the greatest political en- tiCy in the world, properly organized it would be the greatest power"

BROKER ''SLATED"
 FOR TAFT CABINET
Continued from First Page.)

ever from the fact that Mir. Hepburn's defeat for congress removes him on March next, the date that Mir. Taft will be inaugurated. As Secretary Wilson has held the agricultural port folio through several successive ad- minlstrations and is close associate of MT, Taft there is a disposition to in- clude his name in the list of contln- uing cabinet possibilities.
 It is assumed pretty generally that MT, Taft will look to his own state for some of his cabinet material, and this leads to conjecture concerning ex-Governor Herrlck of Ohio, whose name has been suggested in connec- ton with the secretaryship of the treasury
 Governor ITerrick has long been identified with financial affairs. The name of A. B Hepburn, of New York, is also mentioned Mir Hepburn was formerly comptroller of the currency. Tho navy and Interior portfolios also come in for attention. In fact the capabilities and availability of most men in public life are just now being scanned with reference to fitting them into the various places of this prob lematcal cabinet list
 Among those referred to in general way are two men who have been act ively engaged on Mir. Tafts advisory campaign committee. Senator Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, and Charles r .Brooker, of Connecticut, and the active head of the organization of re- publican clubs, John Hays Hammond. The latter's position as mining en- glneer leads to conjecture on his avail ability for head of q department If mines if this long contemplated legis- latiyc project Is ever realized How ever, these latter names. and indeed all of them, are entlreiy the product of the active and fertile slate-ma kers, whose zeal is stimulated with unfailing regularity on the morrow of change in the presidency

Weekly Magazine Confirms Re- port That President Will Join Staff After His
 Retirement.
HIS HEADQUARTERS THERE
His Editorial Contributions to Be Signed and the Free and Un- modified Expression of His
 Convictions"

New York, Nov. 4.--In It's issue of next Saturday the outlook will con- firm the published report to the effect that President Roosevelt will become associated with that publication after his retirement from office. According to the announcement he will be as- soclated with the editorial staff of the Outlook after March 9th as special contributing edltor.'
 Among other things the article says;
 As the beginning of the nineteenth century was characterized by the movement toward political democracy So the beginning of the twentieth cen tury has been characterized by q movement toward industrial democ- racy. In this world movement, Theo- dore Roosevelt has been recognized as world-leader No one who knows him aas believed that his leadership would cease with his retirement from the presidency
 we congratulate ourselves and our readers that this leadership, exercised for the last seven years in presiden- tial messages will be exercised in the future through tho columns of the Outlook.
 "NIr Roosevelt will be more than a mere contributor, His headquarters will be at the outlook office, and lie will be in frequent and, we hope, in constant consultation with its staff. His position will thus be somewhat analogous to that of a consulting en- gineer who Is called in to give the benefit of his expert cooperation to the staff of engineers in charge of a great undertaking like the Panama canal
 But the editorial control of the Out look will remain unchanged. MT. Roosevelts contributions, though edl- torial in their nature, will be signed by his name and will be the absolutely free and unmodifed expression of his personal convictions
