Senator Hansbrough has beer
given lucrative position as al
expert on financial legislation in
the U. S. senate, and draws the
conclusion that because of that
he has been muzzled for the next
state campaign.
The progress as we'll as thous.
ands of the ex-senators friends
and admirers all over the state will
be pleased indeed, if his colleagues
of the past twenty years have seen
fit to tender him a position of
honor and trust, and in keeping
with his ability and experience as
a statesman and a man of affairs.
He has never shirked in the per-
Torrance of his duties as public
man and will not do it now, and
therefore no exception can be
taken to his accepting the honor
and drawing the salary attached
to it. It is to be hoped that it is
big enough to enable him to live
in Washington in q manner be-
fitting an honoerd citizen and still
a representative of the sovereign
state of North Dakota.
Whatever the facts are, the
people of the state need have no
fear that Senator Hansbrough has
swapped his birthright for an Of
cice something most Of us are not
ready to say for a more recent re-
cult to the American House Of
Lords-and in the campaign Of
1910 he will be wearing neither

Snow Is Cleared Away at Lake

It takes more than a record breaking
blizzard to keep Newark skaters from
enjoying their favorite sport. Although
the surface of Weequahic Park lake is
covered with six or eight inches OF
snow. gang of men was on hand
early today with plows. shovels and
scrapers. BY noon the upper portion
of the lake, near the boathouse, had
been cleaned and skaters were soon
out
Fifteen men and two horse plows
quickly made the snow that covered
the ice disappear. As fast as the plows
piled up the .5now men loaded it into
the big SNOW boats" large boxes on
runners. The snow was then dumped
at the edge of the lake and packed to
prevent the wind blowing 1t back.
Men with wide scrapers then went
over the ice. leaving It as smooth as
glass. BY noon the lake was ready for
the crowds of skaters expected this
afternoon.
As the ice on Branch Brook Park
lake was not thick enough to allow
skating before the fall of snow, no at
tempt has been made to clean it. There

PRESIDENT BEGINS
SPECIAL MESSAGE
ON TRUST CONTROL
Is Preparing Recommendations
to Congress Relating to
Sherman Act.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S-President
Taft today began the preparation OF
the first of his special messages to
Congress. This message will deal with
the amendments which he believes are
necessary in the interstate commerce
and Sherman antitrust acts. Recent
reports TO the contrary notwithstand-
ing, it is known that the President will
take up the antitrust act and deal
with it at great length. He also will
bring forward his ideas as to issuing
Federal licenses to corporations. The
proposed license win be a voluntary
one, to be taken advantage of by such
corporations as desire TO place them
selves under Federal jurisdiction, or
left alone as the directors of the cor
porations see fit.
1t had been currently reported for
some time that President Taft might
delay his antitrust recommendations
until the Supreme Cour, had finally
passed upon the recent Standard Oil
decision. Those to whom the President
has talked within the past day or two
say, however. he has decided to go for
ward with his legislative program re-
gardless of the pending decision. and
that having determined that many
changes We're needed in the antitrust
law he will proceed to recommend
these changes without regard to the
Standard Oil case. The President and the
members of his cabinet, together with
the interstate commerce commission.
ers, have given more thought and study
to the needed changes in the interestate
commerce and antitrust acts than tc
any other subjects since the beginning
of the present administration. The
President has outlined his views in
general terms in speeches he has made
from time to time since his Inaugural
ton, and they have become pretty gen
orally known.
There has been disposition among
some of the leaders of the Senate and
House during the past two days to urge
the President not TO send in his anti
trust message just now. They argued
that pending a decision in the S and
ard Oil case on proceedings brought
under the Sherman act, the President
in recommending changes in the
statutes might be put by his political
opponents in the light of granting a
respite or favor to the corporations.
especially in regard to Federal charters
or license.
Mr. Taft is said to feel, nevertheless.
that his views on the entire subject
have been so fully expressed in the
past and SO generally understood as
rejecting his attitude that he can go
ahead with his recommendations upon
the lines decided upon early in the fall
as result of the many conferences
with Attorney General Wickersham
and other legal advisers in the cabinet
without fear Of popular misconstruc-
ton.

No better proof of returning pros
perity can be found than the announce
ment made today by the postoffice au-
thorities that with today's receipts tbs
year 1909 receipts will total over ST.
000,000 For some time past those who
have been interested in the growth OF
the postoffice receipts have been watch
ing for the passing of the million dol
lar mark. and when last years $780,
0S4.0s was reached i'd was freely pre-
dicted that this year would see the
seven figure mark passed.
In view. however, of the. small per
centage of gain represented by 190S's
receipts over those of 1907 on account
of the panic, considerable doubt was
expressed by some as to the final out
come. In the summer months, how
ever confidence that the mark coult
be reached amounted almost to 4 GER
tainty. The finish of the race today
with several days before the ending OF
the year, brings gladness to the hearts
of the force.
The closeness with which postoffic'
receipts tally with the general condition
of the financial world is shown by the
percentages of gain for the past twt
years. In 1908. when business was
struggling in the after throes of the
panic of tine fall of 1907, the gain was
but 25 per cent. This year Sc per cent
represents the total gain.

Mrs. Thomas Bruen Is Rescued
in Nick of Time from Vapor-
Filled Kitchen.
FRIENDS SCOUT ATTEMPT
AT SUICIDE THEORY
Victim, Who Will Recover, Be-
lieyed to Have Been Over
come While at Work.

Mrs. Thomas Bruen. 3S years old, of
1874 New street. was found unconscious
from the effects of gas pouring out of
the Jet in her kitchen today, by Charles
Mockler. newsdealer. of 2S6 Plane
street. She was taken to st. Michael's
Hospital, where. 1t is said. she will se-
cover. The police believe 1t to have
been an accident rather than an at
tempted suicide.
Mockler arrived at the house where
Mrs. Bruen lives in the basement at 9
o'clcck this morning to collect bill
He ratified the knob of the outer door
several times without success and was
just coming up the steps when he met
Mrs. Lily Schilling, who lives on the
third floor of the house, coming down.
She said she had snlelled gas and want
ed help to see If anything was wrong
with Mrs. Bruen. BY that time Mock
Ter, too, could detect the odor of gas.
Summoning to his aid man who
happened to be passing, Mockler went
through the hallway on the first floor of
the house and effected an entrance
through the inner door to the basement.
There they found Mrs. Bruen on the
floor of the kitchen, unconscious. Over
her head was the gas jet with the key
turned on. Mockler and the other man
threw open all the doors and carried the
woman to the yard. where, after teie-
phoning the police of the First Precinct,
they attempted to restore her by means
of artificial respiration. They were un-
successful. and she was still uncon-
scious when taken to the hospital.
Mr.. Bruen, who: is employed as spe-
cial officer by a Newark banking com
pany, had left his wife little more
than an hour before. 1t is thought that
as the Kitchen was dark she had had
the gas burning until after he left. In
some way the key turned again with
out her knowledge and she was over
come before she could help herself. The
neighbors say that Mrs. Bruen had
complained of the gas leakage for some
thine, so it Is possible that she did not
notice the additional flow Of gas until
too late.

bales of cotton stored in that particu-

The Celtic sailed from New York for
Queenstown and Liverpool on Decem-

incident until the following Wednesday,
when smoke was discovered creeping
up from among the cotton bales that
filled No. hold. Captain Hambleton
at once ordered that the matches be
closed and sealed Efforts to locate
the fire were then begun, but the mat
ter was carefully guarded from the pas
sengers. whose passage was not made
less pleasant by the anxiety of the
crew. Above decks there was no evil
dence of anything unusual but for the
next five days the fire was burning
steadily below.
