TAFT WINS OVER
CANNON; VICTORY
IN SIGHT
FRIENDS OF SPEAKER OF HOUSE
AMAZED AT TAFT'S COURSE
JUNGLE JOE" WILL BE DlPLo-
Matte

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-"Uncle
Joe" Cannon. speaker OF the national
house OF representatives, who has OPP
posed the reform policies OF President
Roosevelt. will surrender" says Wal
ter Wellman. In telegram TO the
Chicago Record-Herald. Mr.. Taft's
open note OF warning To Speaker Can
/ non and other obstructionists that
they must discontinue their dllatory
methods or have a fight with the new
administration Is the topic OF CONVEX
sation Ia Washington today.
To say that the friends OF Mr.. Can
non are amazed at Mr.. Tafts course
Is putting IL mildly. They are simply
dumfcunded. Till today they would
not believe that Mr.. Taft had so much
fight.ng blood I'm him. The authentic
statement made in these and other
dispatches ABOUT the failure OF Jim
Sherman peace mission TO Hot
Springs had not prepared them for the
bolt from the blue which fell yester-
day. They knew Sherman's little
scheme for peace and quiet and an
era OF good feeling and do-nothingism
had not succeeded but they did not
dream Mr.. Taft would have the cour-
age 10 appeal TO the people and make
public statement Of his intention to
have his pledges redeemed or fight.
They still hoped that In some way or
other the matter could be adjusted
without the public becoming aware OF
the truth.
Now comes the authorized announce
ment from Mr.. Taft made by Repre-
sentative Burton, of Ohio, at Hot
Springs. that the new president Is pre-
pared TO fight for such reorganization
OF the house OF representatives as will
insure the redemption of his campaign.
pledges TO the people. II Is well
understood that Mr.. Burton made this
statement deliberately after consulta.
ton with the president-elect. Nor does
anyone misunderstood it's significance.
II means that Mr. Cannon must give
some proof OF his willingness to keep
step with the advanced and progress
sive Republicanism which the Taft adj
ministration is TO stand for or suffer
the consequences. Among the conse-
quences would be On effort 10 defeat
him for the speakership. with Mr..
Burton OF Ohio as his rival. Some OF
Speaker Cannon's friends here pretend
10 believe that he Is ready TO fight.
They say be has already intrenched
himself by securing pledges OF sup
| port from a majority OF the members
, OF the new house and that he will be
here on Wednesday to take personal
lcharge Of his interests These friends
predict that Uncle Joe will come back
at Mr.. Taft with bugle blast of de-
fiance and warning to the incoming
president that be must not attempt 20
dictate TO the legislative branch o!
the government.
Others and perhaps the majority be.
lieve that in the end Mr.. Cannon will
surrender. He may go through the
form OF issuing a note of defiance
which will serve to protect his posi-
ton and his pride till he can look the
field over. But In the end. they are
inclined TO think, he will contrive 10
make peace by giving pledge OF good
! conduct.

GLAZIER BUILDINGS
TO BE SOLD THIS WEEK

Practically all that the creditors ex-
pect to realize on the Glazier proper
ties will be sold this week. The mort
cages on the Blodgett terrace In De-
troit and the Glazier Office building
in Ann Arbor have been temporarily
set aside and these pieces of property
will be sold during the week. Then
the question Of the validity OF the
mortgages given by Frank p. GlaZier
to the Chelsea Savings bank will be
argued In the federal court here.

spent about $4,000 on II.
Glazier got II for less than 500, 900,
which Is supposed to be its present
value.
| Glaciers Ann Arbor office building
Is expected to sell for much less than
it's cost, inasmuch as it's construction
and fittings are far too expensive for
the citys demands.
BY the sale OF these properties, a
fund will be created which will form
the basis for litigation between W. w.

er, and the Security Trust Co., Of De-

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Lower
prices for American stocks sent over
by London were reflected today at the
opening Of the market In Wali-st.
Losses averaged one-half point
throughout the list but at the end OF
the hrst half hour of trading those
had been wiped out and replaced with
gains averaging one-half point.
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific. Read-
ing and Tennessee Copper were the
leaders In the upward movement Ten
neessee Copper. which was broken on
Saturday from 50 to 43 IL, recovered
sharply in the early trading today.
On the advance, considerable stock
was marketed and the morning ses-
sion saw an irregular market, with q
constant hutter between the bull ana
bear parties. The selling was chiei-
ly by professionals, who fancy agita.
ton In regard to the steel tarin Will
upset the market. The insiders OF
the steel trust take the position that
they have made such great improve
ment In their own mills that tariu
reduction will hurt the independents
so severely as TO amount TO rear
benefitsto the trust itself
The warllke talk in Europe Is also
proving disturbing factor, but all
danger Of trouD. abroad was ended

Is really a bull argument.
On the curb market stocks were only
fairly active. with coppers showing
heaviness, the same as on the inside
