REWARD TOO GREAT.
Job Worth $4,000 Year Snatched
From Elmer Dover.

Washington. May 25-Elmer
Dover, the former secretary of the
Republican committee. whose ap-
pointment as national bank examiner
at New York was held up by the
comptroller of the currency, will be
offered, it is said. similar position
in some other district. When it was
announced Mr.. Dover would receive
the appointment. at New. York there
were a. number of protests made to
the president to the effect that a
post paying $4,000 a year was too
high a reward for Mr.. Dover who. it
was asserted. was opposed to Mr..
Taft's nomination up to the very last
moment and was replaced on the ma
tiona1 committee because of this
antagonistic attitude to the candi-
date.
President Taft had agreed to the
appointment as a favor to some of
Mr.. Dover's friends, but he was
somewhat taken back by the facts,
when ascertained as to the emolu
ments of the national bank examiner
at New York-a post which now will
probably be offered to some one
more closely identified with Mr..
Taft's interests than was Mr.. Dover.

Church Is Packed and Thousands Wait
in the Streets.

New York, May 25.-A remarkable
scene was presented at the Church OF
st. Rita OF Cascia in 145th street When
the structure was packed by several
hundred persons, While in the street
there were several thousand more un-
able to gain admission to the conclud.
ing services of the Novena or nine days
devotion. In the altar of the church
there is a fragment of bone, duly
authenticated as belonging to st. Rita.
advocate of the hopeless and saint OF
the impossible as her worshippers
call her. The annual novena to the
saint in this church and the reverence
OF the relic are credited with many mar
velous cures and performances in an
swer to applications. Many have de-
clared that they have cured themselves
OF others of physical ailments which
baffied doctors, while others have tes-
titled to the saints answering their
prayers concerning business matters
and other things in which they sought
success.
The rector, Father Charles Farina,
last night read a number of letters from
those who had prayed to St. Rita A
Detroit woman wrote that year ago
she came to New York and prayed to
ST. Rita for a civil service position and
soon obtained it. A boarding school
girl wrote that the novena to st. Rita
had completely relieved the pains IN
her eyes, throat and nose. A man who
said his friends thought he was going
insane because of the pains he suf-
fered in the head wrote that St. Rita
bad cured him A young girl relates
the marvellous cure of her mother after
making the second novena to ST. Rita.
A man wrote saying that he had been
il business troubles and prayed to St.
Rita for advice. He then sold one of
his grocery stores and prospered i'm
Iaensely in the store he retained and
gave the saint of the impossible" full
credit. A janitor subscribed his thanks
for the return of a bunch of KEYS.
Such large crowds of worshippers now
attend the annual novena to St. Rita
of Cascia that the rector is planning to
Increase the church's size.

PUBLIC MAY NOT KNOW
Rogers VIII Drawn So as to Con-
ceaI Value of Estate.

New York. May 25.-The will of
H. H. Rogers is to be read to-
morrow afternoon at his late resi-
dence in East Seventy eighth street
by his personal attorney, James M.
Beck. Only immediate relatives will
be present.
Previous to the reading of the
document, Mr.. Beck would not dis
cuss the contents nor the amount of
the estate involved Estimates of
the value of the estate range from
$40,00O,000 to more than $780,
100000. A number of anonymous
friends of the late financier are
quoted as saying that Mr.. Rogers
left an estate worth much more than
was popularity supposed. In the
Wall street district, it is not believed,
however, that the public will ever
know even the approximate value of
Mr.. Rogers fortune as it is under
stood that the will was so drawn as
to confine this information to the
immediate beneficiaries. There is a
possibility however that the state tax
upon inheritances may bring to
light the much discussed figures.
The widow who is said to have
collapsed after the final funeral SER
vices at Fair Haven, was reported as
improving today and it was said that
following the reading of the will, she
would return to Fair Haven for a
long rest.

HIS TOES HURT HIM.
Although They Have Been Buried for
Some Time.

New York, May 25.-Ernest Frye
of this city, whose right leg was am
putated five weeks ago, following an
automobile accident, is the subject of
considerable anxiety among physi-
clans in the Flower hospital because
of his complaint he suffers intense
pain in the toes of the foot which was
amputated and which lies buried in
one of the suburbs. Frye declares
that he can distinctly feel a severe
cramping pain in these toes, the pain
being so intense at times as to cause
him to shrek.
Doctors believe that the sensation
of pain is communicated to his brain
by the nervous cords which ran to
his toes and which were severed by
the amputation. The contraction of
these injured nerves, they believe
would give Frye the sensation of pain
in his toes.
