TO REPLACE FALCONIO.
Mgr. Aversa, Apostolic Delegate to
Cuba, to Come Here.

that the Vatican has practically decided
upon the appointment of Mgr Aversa, the
present apostolic delegate to Cuba to the
Office of apostolic delegate at Washing
ton, to replace Mgr. Falconio, who is to
have some other post without being
created a cardinal
No word has been received at the papal
legation here to the effect that Mgr.
Aversa will succeed Mgr. Falconio as the
delegate to the United States. Within the
next two months. it is said, the pontiff
may hold a consstOry and announce Mgr.
Falconio cardinal.
The papal legations at Madrid and vi
emma are the only ones which rank with
the legation in this city.
Mgr. Aversa has spent much time here
since his appointment as delegate to Cuba
During the past winter he was guest
for several months at the Catholic Uni
versity at Brookland. He is at present in
Rome.
He will return to the United States early
In October and, SO far as known here
among his friends at the Catholic Uni
versity. expects to go back to Cuba No
intimation has been given Mgr. Falconia
that change In his present assignment
is contemplated by the vatican.
Cardinal Satolli was the first papal dele
tinelli was the next, and in 1902 he was
succeeded by Mgr. Falconio. the present
apostolic delegate. Mgr. Falconio was
born in 1912 at Pescocostango, Italy. In
1850 he joined the Franciscan Order of
Friars Minor, and five years later was
sent to the United States as teacher of
classics at st. Bonaventures College AL
legany, n. Y. He was ordained a priest
the following year. He remained in the
college number of years, and was then
sent to assist the Bishop of Harbor Grace,
n. r.
In this diocese he labored as\vicar gen
eral and administrator until 1870. when
he returned to New York and spent some
time in the Sullivan street parish.
Subsequently he returned to Italy, and
his return to New York was prevented by
appointments TO various offices In the
Franciscan Order. eliminating in that of
procurator general. The pope appointed
him Archbishop of AcreuZa in 1882 and in
1899 he was appointed permanent apos-
tolic delegate to Canada.

CONTROLLER TO INVESTIGATE
Will Soon Find Out Whether Elk
aminer Was Drunk.

Lawrence O. Murray, controller Of the
currency. will make a careful investiga-
ton of the charges that Bank Examiner
Cunningham was drunk when he closed
the Cosmopolitan National Bank at Pitts
burg last Saturday morning, or that he
was drunk when he was investigating the
condition Of the bank. In fact it is not
yet known whether the bank was closed
by Mr.. Cunningham or T. A. Oldham, the
legal adviser in the controllers office.
The telegram received early Saturday
morning announcing the closing Of the
bank came from Mr.. Oldham, conserya-
tive man of wide experience in bank at
fairs. 1t is probable that when the con-
trollers Office opens for business tomor.
row morning reports will be on hand
from both Messrs Oldham and Cunning
ham. Such reports are expected.
Then will follow an investigation to
ascertain II the charges of the bank Of
ficials are correct. Even II these charges
are sustained, however, il is not likely
according to information. that the bank
will be allowed to reopen so easily. T. 2.
Kane. deputy controller of the currency,
who has been keeping track Of the af-
fairs of the bank for a number of months
said today:
I'VE do not know anything here about
the charges as to Mr. Cunningham's being
drunk. but We do know that the condition
of the bank has been unsatisfactory to
us for six months or more. 1t has been
a source of a great deal OF uneasiness to
officials Of our office. II the officers of the
bank desire to reopen, this can be done
If they will clean up certain transactions
not approved by us and show beyond
doubt. that their condition justifies re-
opening. II the bank can make good with
us it will be allowed to go on with bust
ness

Defense of Gompers.

President Gompers, Secretary Morrison
and many members o. the executive coun-
Gil, A F. L.. will make addresses at diff
ferent places. These will be devoted to
explanations of the action OF each of the
two parties on the question of labor and
to the presentation of the reasons of
Gompers for taking position in support
of the democratic national ticket.
1t will be contended that Gompers' &C
ton has not been in the interest OF par
tisan politics, but in strict accord with
the instructions of the federation itself
which early as 1906. directed the Off
cials as to the course to be pursued in
obtaining legislation favorable to labor
In making these explanations there Will
be general review of the efforts made
during the last session of Congress to pro-
cure the enactment OF laws for the modi-
fication of the antitrust law, so as to
exclude labor unions from its operations

Governor johnson, Of Minnesota,
whose availability as a Presidential
candidate is being seriously considered
by many Democrats, says-as quoted
by the New York World; "The pres
ent unrest of our people is evidence Of
the determination shared by all that
the fundamental principles of this gov
eminent shall be maintained. These
include the dignity of labor, equality
before the law, the equal enforcement
of the laws and entire absence Of special
privileges.
s'Great corpsration, especially those
exercising at least some Of the powers
Of government, must come to the real
ization that they are as amenable to
the law as is the individual citizen.
"The trust problem is still to be
solved; but, while searching for the
complete remedy I'VE can at least with
draw from their grasp the special priv
ileges they have e. joyed under a high
protective tariff
sit must be apparent that our pre-
sent tariff, while mainly esponsible
for the existence of the trusts, is, in
addition, tax upon the masses for
the benefit of of the few.

fore the Revolution, was no moIe ini-
quitous than is our present tariff sys'

Thaw.s New LAWYER.

Martin w. Littleton, Harry Thaw 9
new counsel, opens the second
trial Of the great case. The following
was sent recently to the Cleveland
Press by its New York correspondent;
1t was hack in 1888 when this dia-
logue took place between the foreman
of little railroad down In Texas and 8
rosy-chesked, smiling young track
walker, whose good natsrs and ready
tongue had earned him reputation
extending clear across Texas town
ship:
you're a pretty bright young
n an said the foreman. ~ sappose
s)me day you expect to be the csnduc-
tor Of a freight train, don't you?"
mo, sir,n replied the trainwalksr,
VI never expect to be that
"You don't? You ought to aspire to
something like that. What do you hope
to be?'
expect to be big lawyer in New
York city"
After the foreman had recovered
from his laughter he said:
"Pretty far cry from traekwalker to
a metropolitan wyer, isn't it?"
"Yes, sir; but no farther tan from
rail splitter to President"
Martin w. Littleton was the rosy
checked trackwalker. A few years later,
when the whole COUNTRY was rigging
with his speech It the st. Louis Ma.
tional Democratic convention in
which he nominated Alton b. Parker
for the Presidency, Mr.. LittIetoa went
back TO his old corner of Texas and
met the railroad foreman who had
sketched out for him the brilliant fu-
ture of freight conductor.

State Tax Commissioner a, B.
White has sent out circular to Tn e
assessors of personal party throughout
the state instructing them in their dn-
ties as to the listing of property for AS
ssesment purposes. In this circular,
which we will publish next week
Mr.. White interprets the law
passed by the last legislature proyid-
ing for the exemption of sail personal
property on hand to be used In the
subsistence of live stock on hama al
the commencement of the assessment
year and dead victuals laid away Tor
family use.n He declares this uneonsti-
tutional and void. He instructs as
SCISSORS that they mustnotlist separate
Iy the Sunday-go-to-mesting clothes,
preserves the children's shoes ana
stockings but that they are to be con-
sidered as part of the household fur
nishings and as such must be assessed
There has been good deal Of eompaint
and no little criticism Of some assessors
in the past for hstiag such properly
but while the commissioner instructs
not TO list them separately under his in
structions they must take this spe-
cies of property in consideration when
setting value upon household goods
and thus sanctions the act OF those as
SCISSORS who have in the past been as
sessing such property.
We can see no difference in the two
ways OF listing this property excepting
that in including it in with household
goods, the tax is more insidioas but
lust as onorous. Under thls circular
the farmer must include his hay, fod-
der and corn, his meat ia the smoke
house, his chicken, sthe lord the -four
and the preserves in his pantry and
his Sunday clothes in the valuation Of
his personal property though not in
an itemized founN
