Meickle has withstood tornad0eS and
earth rumbliugs galore, and has always
come out uninjured. The first DIT Of cold
weather and snow he has ever expert
enced has laid him up.
Yesterday NIeickle was discovered sit

H streets northeast. He had his shoes

liar numbness had paralyzed his feet. he
told the policeman who found him. That
his feet were frost-oitten the policeman
suspected. and summoned the Casualty

After his suffering eXtremities had been
treated Meickle told the hospital physi-

Baltimore where he had landed several
days ago from a banana boat docked
there with produce from Jamaica. Tn

Ny Dear Mr., Foulke;
The statement that I have used the Of
fees in the effort to nominate any Presi-
Dental candidate is both false and ma
licious. It is the usual imaginative in
vention which flows from a desire to say
something injurious.

months ago in asserting that I was using
the Offices to secure my own nomination.

PRISON WORSE THAN SIBERIA

Penitentiary. He will begin proceedings
against the State through the Russian

Wantski was released from the peni-
Tertiary after serving six years of a ten
year sentence for burglary at Everett.
He declares that he was innocent. He
says that the guards AZ Chehalis practice
all sorts of CTuelties upon the convicts.
that the men are frequently brluaily
beaten. On one occasion when a guard
was beating a prisoner with a club.

The debate on the Aldrich financial bill

Bailey May Lead Opposition.
Senator Bailey, Of Texas, who has in

in part embodes the views of William
Jennings Bryan regarding the issuance
Of emergency currency. will probably lead
the opposition. It has been understood.
however, that the Democrats will not
the Aldrich bill, but will confine them
selves TO clearly developing the attitude
of the party toward the several problems
involved, their main contention being
that the Treasury, and not the national
banks, should issue the emergency
money.
II is unlikely that minor legislation will
get much of a chance in the Senate until
after the Aldrich bin is disposed OF. SO
