OF LABOR
GOING INTO POLITICS.

New York. Feb. 1O.-At a meeting
of the Central Federated Union yester
day President Samuel Gompers, OF
the American Federation of Labor,
was requested by resolution to call
a convention of labor union represen-
tatives for the purpose of nominating
candidates for President and Vice
President Of the United States and
adopting platform for a national
labor party. Recent decisions of the
supreme court in which labor laws
were declared unconstitutional We're
criticised. 1t was said that the judges
owed their appointment to men op-
posed to the unions and they must
be suppressed before labor would re-
ceive justice.

FORAKER vs..
ROOSEVELT

| Washington, Feb. Ex-senator For
aker today made reply to the Presi-
dents statement published this NOR
ming concerning charges that public
patronage had been used by Mr..
Roosevelt for political purposes. The
Presidents statement was in the form
of a letter addressed to William Dud-
| ley Foulke, of Richmond, Ind, and
includes a letter from Foulke to the
President suggesting the need of
such a statement. The President de-
nies that he has used patronage in
the interests of Taft or any other
presidential candidate. The patron
distributed on merit in every case,
and in Indiana he shows that the ap-
pointments have been made on the
recommendation of those who favor
Fairbanks.
Mr.. Foraker took the floor of the
senate on the plea of personal privi-
lege, and reading at length from tne
Presidents correspondence with him.
proceeded to explain his own attitude
toward federal patronage III Ohio. He
said that on January IA, the senate
in executive session at the instance
of the two senators from Ohio, refus-
ed to confirm certain postoffice ap
pointments made by the President,
and that he gave as reason, that
the action taken meant there would
not be in Ohio any further prostitu-
ton of patronage for political pur
poses without being resented Fora
ker referred to the Presidents state
ment IN the morning papers, and said
he did not propose to go into details
in reply, because the appointments
were outside of the community in
which he lived and not of interest
to the public.
while the people of the country
are not interested in special details
of appointments, said Foraker, they
are interested in the general PROPOSE
tions enu1ciated by the President.
They are interested in knowing that

vice. He then referred to the case
of Charles H. Bryson, who was ap
pointed postmaster at Athens, O..
without Foraker's solicitation, but up
on the recommendation of Represen-
tative Alfred Douglass. Later Bryson
in an interview stated that Taft was
losing strength in Ohio and that For
aker was gaining. little while after
the interview Bryson received let
ter from Douglass telling him of a
talk he had with the Postmaster Gen
eral. According to this letter Douglass
had been sent for and told that the
President had decided not to appoint
Bryson after all.

Soon after the opening of the pres
tary Institute 64 new cadets, who had
then reported for duty, were carefully
weighed and measured by the Ber-
tillion method These same cadets
were again weighed just four months
later, or January 10, 1908. The result
showed an average gain of about III
teen pounds per man. Only one cadet
out of the entire number had lost in
weight, and in his case the loss was
especially desired, as he was entirely
too fat when he entered the school,
and the exercises have decreased his
girth.
This is the first time that the auth
critics of the Institute have made
record of weights and measurements,
but the results have attracted so much
attention from every one to whom
they have been shown that they are
by request published in the papers
and will hereafter be watched with
great interest. 1t is hardly possible

PLOT TO WRECK TRAIN
CARRYING SOLDIERS

Joliet, Ill, Feb. 10-What is believ
ed to have been a deliberate plot to
wreck the Santa Fe fast mail train
carrying two carloads of United
States soldiers to Kansas City yester
day, was foiled through an apparent
mistake of the train wreckers in plac-
ing the obstructions on the track u.s.
ed by the east-bound instead of west
bound trains. A number of ties were
placed across the track on a bridge
over a small creek mile north OF
Lockport, and an effort made to pry
up one of the rails. A freight train
ran into the obstruction, and the
front end of the engine was wrecked.

house Saturday night was attended

called the gathering in response to
a request from the Bond Issue League
and its purpose was to set before the
people the views of the advocates of
te issue and give an opportunity for
any argument that might be offered
in opposition to the movement. The
mayor oAed the meeting to order
and introduced the speakers, regu-
lar program having been arranged.
Capt. John w. Poe made a straight
forward talk on the policy of the wa

knew him were convinced that the
town will get as much for its money

Poe is not easily tfbuncoed." The sys-
tens are to be put in so as to supply

seen at the City Clerks Office.
Dr. J. w. Kinsinger made a sensi-
BILE talk on the issue from a sanitary
standpoint. His speech was declared
to be the feature of the evening. He
showed that from health alone, Ros-
well cannot afford to be longer with
out the water and sewer systems. He
was applauded to the echo when ne
concluded as follows: "If you think
more of your family, of your loved
ones, of yourself, of the finest little
city in the world than you do of
title imaginary increase of taxes,
vote for the bonds.''
Robert Kellahin made a convincing
talk. He said that Roswell had come
to the point where it had to go for
ward or backward, and that civic i'm
provements had to come to carry it
forward. 1t will either become the
big city of the Southwest, or remain
in the list of little towns Which
shall it be?
