SEES MENACE IN DECISION.
Canadian Labor Leader Says Peace Of
Nation is Threatened.

Montreal. Dec. 24.-Alphonse Yer
vile, NJ. p, president of the dominion
trades and labor congress, says Can
Iadian labor is thoroughly disappoint-
ed at the outcome of the Bucks con-
spiracy case in Washington. ''The
sentencing of Gompers and associates
to prison for carrying on a boycott by
publication could not have happened
under the laws of Canada" says Ver-
vile, mot because our laws are less
stringent than those Of the United
States, but because our judiciary have
a wider conception Of equity, due to
our sense Of British fair play. Amer
lean capital has decreed that Gompers
and associates shall suffer ignominy
and imprisonment and will succeed
sooner or later in placing them behind
the bars, but when this happens it will
make a new issue in America, which
may threaten the peace of the republic
Itself. The conviction of Gompers will
create more friends for organized la
bor than anything else could possibly
have DONE Americans in bulk will not
stand for persecution"

Roosevelt Reported to Be Preparing
Mild Reply to Congress.

Roosevelt Reported to Be Preparing
Mild Reply to Congress.
Washington, Dec. 24-Indications are
that persons who expect President
Roosevelt to say something of a per-
sonal nature in the message to con-
gress, replying to the inquiry as to the
basis for that portion of his message
dealing with the secret service will be
disappointed
While the president 1as not yet
writ.enA his reply, he has collected
a stock of information which will
serve for it's basis. 1t is believed he
will confine himself principally to an
effort to sustain the declaration in his
annual message that the action OF
congress is severely limiting the activ
tiles of the secret service agents has
resulted in increased crime. Data will
he produced to show that criminals
and confidence men have been quick
to take advantage of the cessation OF
the work of the secret service men,
but it is not believed there will be
any reflection upon the character OF
individuals that will in the slightest
degree enbarrass any member of the
congress.
To meet any objection that the Sc
cret service be limited by statute to
the detection of counterfeiters, reve-
nue. and customs frauds and at the
same time to preserve the general
usefulness of that institution the
president probably will recommend a
change in the organic law SO as to
provide for the merging Of the secret
service, the land office inspec-
tors, postoffice inspectors and all other
branches of the governmental inspec-
ton service into one general bureau Of
criminology in the interest Of
economy and good administration.

LAUGH ON Mr.. PULITZER.
He Wanted Roosevelt to Take Another
Torm-That Was in 'O7.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Joseph Pulitzer
sonce sent. an emissary to President
Roosevelt, urging Mr.. Roosevelt to
throw Mr.. Taft overheard and an
nounce his own willingness to accept
eanother term in the White House, says
20 Washington dispatch.
Mr.. Pulitzer, according to the state
ment, promised to support the presi-
dent for reelection if his suggestion
were complied with. Mr.. Roosevelt
would have nothing to do with the
proposition.
It was with glee that the friends Of
the president made the story public.
They do not fix the date when Mr..
Pulitzer made his peculiar offer, but
intimate that it was during the sum-
mer or autumn of 1907, after it had
become known the president was for
Taft for his successor.

COUNTY OFFICERS UNDER FIRE.
Grand Jury Investigation in Poll

Grand Jury Investigation in Polk
County Expected to Bear Some Fruit.
Des Moines, Dec 24-The investiga-
tion which the grand jury is making of
the county offices of Polk county is
attracting widespread interest. While
indictments are not expected from
the showing thus far, the grand jury
hopes to correct many of the abuses
known to have existed in the court
house for years.
One feature will be an effort to cut
down court expenses. Reports to the
secretary of state show that Polk
county expends yearly over $4,000 on
its courts. This amount is four times
more the expenditures of Scott county,
which is next on the list and whose
circuit expenses last year were but
$1s,O50.96.

ARMY EVIL SHOWN
General Bell Says Detached Service
System Among officers Is Response
BILE for Disorsanization and Desert

Washington, Dec 24.-The most ur-
gent need Of the army of the United
States at the present is an adequate
remedy for the evils resulting from the
detached service of officers, says Maj.
Gen. J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, in
his annual report made public today.
He also says the time has arrived when
the United States can no longer afford
to maintain Inadequate army for peace
needs, nor an army with antiauated or
ganization." According to Bell, the
number of officers on detached service
is 691. The result is characterized as
very disastrous, and among other
things this is given the first cause for
the large number of desertions among
enlisted men.

men entered the club house.
Skura said that about ten minutes
after the two men entered the club

moved that Skura be committed for
perjury, but Justice Crane said he
would take no action pending further
examination of witness. District At

ment believing the lawyers to be ro-
porters, and that if he had told the
truth it would have been printed in the
newspapers and he would have gotteF
into difficulties with Darrin.
