Mr.. Cladstone's spirit is represented
as having answered numerous ques-

if the House of Lords passes the bill
but to await more favorable oppor-

The spirit of the former prime min

Men Of the Pennsylvania, Lehfgf

No formal statement of what trans
pired was issued but it is understood
that the men agreed that, owing TO the
tremendous increase in railroad bust
ness, they should share in the renew
ed prosperity and will make formal
demand for wage increases ranging
from to 20 per cent for the different
classes of workmen. 1t is aIso under
stood that they will demand a stand
ard ten-hour day.
While the delegates represented the
feeling OF the men who sent them
here the question will be put to a vote
of all the men. Some OF the agree
ments with the railroads expire in
January and some not until next April
and several of the speakers advised a
re-arrangement of this so that all
agreements shall expire on the same
date.
Later a general meeting was hels

New York, Oct. 31.--The New York

ten situation would be made clear to
the president by some of his advisers
who are alarmed at the consequences
of Collector VIM. Loeb Jr.'s policy of
protecting crooks in the service.
The honest officials of the service
have interested cabinet officers as well
as senators with the complaint that
they should not be forced to work
with thieves. 1t is understood here
that President Taft will have the ad-
vantage of going over reports of spe.

spread operatives of the graft in the
customs service but the awkward sit
uation that has arisen through Col
Hctor Loeb's brand new policy of re-

good of the service to find out whether

NEW YORK WANTS

QUESTION OF AGES
BY Sun Leased Wire.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
New York, Oct. 31.--President Taft,
so New York Republicans familiar
with the situation say, will not make
the appointment TO the United States
supreme court vacancy uaItil he re-
turns to Washington.
There are many candidates for the
place, among them Judge Horace H.
Lurton Of Tennessee, Lloyd w. Bow
ers, Henry H. Hoyt of Pennsylvania,
counsel for the state department; Luke
E. Wright of Tennessee, recently sec
retary of war In Roosevelt's cabinet,
and Frederick V. Judson of st. Louis,
all friends of President Taft.
But the New Yorkers believe that
the president should appoint a New
Yorker to a vacancy in the court Gre
ated by the death of a New Yorker
and for that reason many Republicans
have decided to ask tine president 10
appoint Judge Frank H. Hiscock OF the
court OF appeals, while others favor the
selection of Judge Alfred c. Coke of
the United States circuit court. Judge
Coke has the active support of Vice
President Sherman.
Judge Hiscock is SO years old. He
is the youngest judge on the court of
appeals bench. His friends are very
active and the basis of their advocacy
of Judge Hiscock, outside of his capa-
bilities as a judge and a lawyer, is
that he is young man. For that mat
ter Judge Coke is only 5S.
Speaking of ages, Chief Justice Full
Ter was appointed at So; Justice Har-
Ian at Az Justice Brewer at So; Justice
Peckham at 81; Justice White at 40;
Justice McKenna at So; Justice Holmes
at 81; Justice Day at 54 and Justice
Moody at So.
The Democrats believe that mas
much as Judge Peckham was a Demo-
crat President Taft should appoint a
Democrat to the vacancy. They say
that this is the custom but of course
no custom can prevail should the pres
ident decide otherwise and this they
freely admit. Democratic friends Of
Supreme Court Justice Scott of the ap-
pellate division of the first department
have decided TO request the president
to appoint him to the vacancy. Judge
Scott is 81.

By Sun Leased Wire.
Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 31.-Indigestion

caused trouble for large number of
the freshman class of Cornell, accord
ing to statistics given out by the de-
partment of physical culture, in sum-
marizing the results of the examina-
tions made by the doctors this fall.
The records at the gymnasium Of

examinations the physically deficient
men are as follows: Right shoulder
Flower than feft, 395; spinal curvature,
435; left shoulder lower than right,

chest, 10; barrel chest, 8; chest con-
tracted on one side, 7; goitre, 9; weak

The examiners also noticed in the
men examined a prevailing tendency
toward underweight, as compared to
the standing of the mature body,
there being 245 Of this class as compar-
ed to nine overweight.
Two other points not mentioned are
the prevalence Of eye trouble and the
abuse of the digestive tract. In other
words, they eat too much Eye strain
and over-eating go hand and hand, in
which case the students efficiency is
greatly reduced.

State Comptroller Charles H. Gaus was
dead. Mr.. Gaus resided in Albany,
ten days ago made his usual fall trip
to the Bourbinnais Kiamiza club in
Quebec, which is located forty miles
from the nearest railroad station.
For some months past Mr.. Gaus has
been suffering from hardening of
the arteries. His condition was very
bad several weeks before the legis-
latlre adjourned last spring and he
contemplated resigning in order that
the legislature might elect his sue
ceSsor.
At that time there was a consulta-
tion of physicians, who agreed that
his condition was such that he would
be able TO survive for some years.
Following this consultation Mr.. Gaus
pluclzed up much courage and he was
getting along all right, apparently un-
til he left for his fall hunting trip.
He had been gone but a week when
word reached his family that he had
caught cold on his forty-mile drive
through the woods to his hunting club
and that he was suffering with bron-
chitis, and pneumonia threatening
This information came on Thursday
and an Albany physician left here to
take care of him. Mrs. Gaus was get
ting ready to follow when she receiv-
ed word this afternoon that he had
died. HIS is survived by Mrs. Gaus, a
son and Daughter. M GaGls was So

CANNON ISSUES
A BOLD Def
Uncle Joe Tells Insur-
gents Where to
Get OFF.
AND is CHOKED OFF
By Sun Leased Wire.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
New Orleans, Oct 31-In cpeect
here last night before the Deep Water
ways association, Uncle Joe Cannon
delivered def" to the insurgents
of the house. In effect he said:
"I hold the power and will exercise
it as long as it is mine. When you
can, take it from me and then only will
my name be Dennis
1t was a plain invitation TO the in
surgents to do Their worst.
Uncle Joe was the guest of honor
al smoker given by the waterways
association. The presentation to him
of big gavel led to his remarks about
the insurgents. Said he, holding the
gavel aloft:
This is the emblem of the author
| ity, not of a man elevated to power
for a brief time but the organization
that elevated him. That organization
if it be a national body, represents
ninety millions of people"
Here Uncle Joe turned to the mayor
of New Orleans and said:
There has been lot of foolishness
by the minority who represent this
puny figure (pointing at himself) as a
Colossus of Rhodes bestride four hun
dred men and saying to them: Stand
still and be blessed; move and be
damned That is all tommy rot. That
is peanut politics. But l am not going
TO talk politics. This is a smoker"
After Uncle Joe had sat down he
was told that there was a report that
he had issued statement in regard
to the fight of the insurgent Repub-
licans against him.
81 have not" said he. Then he add
ed: Take what l have just said as
a statement of my position"
The waterways boosters also pre-
sented Uncle Joe with an enormous
cigar. 1t didn't daunt the speaker. He
stuck it in his mouth at the old ia
miliar angle.
At dinner last night on the steam
boat ST. Paul of the Taft feet. Gov
ernor Stubs Of Kansas ard Uncle Joe
crossed swords. The dinner was being
given by the twenty-five governors on
the waterway cruise to Uncle Joe and
some of the other congressman.
Governor Stubs said in his speech
that any congressman who opposed the
Mississippi deep waterway project was
not deserving of reelection and ought
to be marked by the people. Uncle
Joe asked permission to reply. He al
lowed that a mere congressman could
not expect to give a decision on this
question when even engineers disa-
greed.
Uncle Joe was warming up to give
Stubs a fine setting out when two or
three of the governors jumped up and
proposed toast to Robbie Burns. That
aVerted the threatened row.

Rumors of Abdication of King George
Circulated for Effect.

Constantinople, Oct. 34.--It is be-
lieved in official circles here that the
rumors of the abdication of King
George Of Greece are circulated with
the view to persuading the powers to
solve the Cretar problem in favor of
Greece.
Turkey has communicated to the
powers its decision not to hasten King
Georges attack on Ottoman interests,
nor renounce in any degree its rights
over Crete.
The minister Of foreign affairs has
advised the Greek government not to
receive Cretan deputies or grave de-
velopments will ensue.
