Delegations May Not Get Ear.

On the commissionership question the
White House. in lieu of direct instruc-
tions frCm the President, is unable to
hold out any hope that delegations will
be received by the President.
The process of filing papers with the
Presidents secretary, Mr.. Carpenter, con-
tinues right along. Mr.. Carpenter gives
assurance that these will be laid before
the President when he is ready to act.
The Benning Citizens Association to-
day filed with Mr.. Carpenter it's recent
Endorsement of NJ. l. Weller. The reSo-
lutions were presented by committee
composed of q. l.. Beck, secretary and
A. ]. Curtis
All speculation as to appointments is
declared to be the artistic brain work of
political dope artists, who hope TO keep
on guessing until they are able to say.
Il told ycu So The President is known
to have given the subject the barest and
most casual consideration, and in none of
his talks has he gotten down to assort-
ing out the names of candidates. All
that is to come.
President Has No Preference.
Just how much time he will give to
this consideration no one at the White
House can guess. He may give much or
little, depending on whether he has had
in mind since he came into Office any one
or two men for District Commissioners.
He has far suggested no names to
any of his callers The impression he has
created is that he has no well defined
preferences in mind before taking up the
matter for actual decision. This makes
the race an open one.
AS to the United States attorneyship,
the President has turned over that prob
lem to Attorney General Wickersham.
who is now figuring it out Officials at the
Department of Justice who are acquainted
with Mr.. Bakers standing say there is
little doubt of his reappointment.
Mr. Baker has served only four years.
Throughout the country the policy of the
Department of Justice is to give at least
two terms as reward for efficient and
satisfactory service.
The President will send to the Senate
the name of whomever is decided upon by
Mr.. Wickersham, who has already con-
ferred with several Washington people in
terested either for or against Mr.. Baker.

UNEASY JUNIORS MUST
NOT WHISPER IN SCHOOL
Honorable Mentionl


Dear Aunt Laurie:
LIKE the new rules our new teach
er has made. We cannot whisper
u in time of school without permis-
sion, and so the room is always quiet.
We can study so much better that way.
We have twenty-minute recess in the
morning and a five-minute one at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. We sing al
most every morning and sometimes in
the afternoon.
Our teacher does not like to have
anyone come into the building at noon,
recess or in the morning. We want
to please him so he will treat us well.
Some of the new rules seem hard
to obey, but we can have a good
time outside of school. If we study
hard we will graduate.
Some teachers do not care very much
If the children disobey the rules. Our
teacher does. Yours truly,

When school was out I came home
and told mamma how I liked her.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
VIZ HEN was in your office a week
w or so ago you asked me as
favor not to write on such thin
paper, but as mother has put her tablet
away 1 will have to write on this.
The topic this week was to write
about something new in our school. so
1 have decided to write about the new
pupil.
Well, Monday the children all went
to school to get their list of l. IS.
After 1 had written down the names of
my books 1 began to look around to
see If their were any new scholars with
whom l could get acquainted the next
day, So that they would not feel quite
so lonesome.

NEW RULES WILL BRING
EXCELLENT CONTROL
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
WI e have a new principal this year
wv at our school, His name is
iilkerson. He teaches the seventh
and eighth grades.
We pupils think a great deal of him,
because he has done so much in the
past three weeks to improve our school.
He plays ball with US at noon. We
girls haven't bought our basketball
yet, so we play baseball with the boys.
The teacher got us gong and new
triangle. He taught us a new way
to march, and he has US march by the
piano.
He helped us to make a new rule
which is very good one. We are not
supposed to whisper, but some forget,
and it is not as quiet as it should be.
We will have a very good school if
the pupils are good, for 1 know the
teacher will be good If the pupils are.

Enjoys New Studies

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When 1 read the topic for this week
1 could not imagine what to write.
1 have the same seat, room and teach
er. The only thing new is the grade
and books. 1 never cared for school
much. The thing 1 like best is gram
mar. 1 always wanted to take French
and German.
1 was looking at my new geography
and physiology. I think I shall like
them. 1 love to look at and read of
the different parts of the body. There
are many long words.
The geography is large one. There
are many pictures in 1t.
Underneath a picture of Point Con-
ception is the first of a poem called,
"The Landing of the Pilgrims"
Well, l cannot think of anything else
new, so I'll close with love to you and
all your nieces and nephews.

Topsy Writes to Junior

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One bright morning in April I opened
my eyes and looked about me. Just
then 1 heard a little girl say: "Oh,
papa, there's a little colt!"
The little girl and her father started
toward me, but my dear mother was
very nervous about me.
They left me in the pasture with my
mother for a week or two. Then my
master led my mother into the barn
yard and 1 followed, looking about me.
1 was as black as jet, and the family
called me Black Baby and Niger until
my master said Topsy.
In a few days 1 was eating sugar
out of the children's hands, and would
trot after them. My master bought me
little halter.
When they worked in the hay field
they would let me follow. 1 would

than they were last year.
The bell rings at $3.50 in the morning
and then again at 1855, when the last
bell rings at 8 we have to stop talking
and playing and listen for the gong to
ring. When it rings we go to line. 1t
is the same way at recess. We have the
piano to march by and last year we
just had the drum. We cannot talk in
line or in school without permission.

The fountain seems just like a living friend,
And so 1 often linger by his side.
He sings a quiet tune that does not end;

He cools me when I'm warm and tired with

Sometimes 1 reach to feel his silver spray,
Sometimes he lulls me till IN fast asleep.

BENNETT BOUND
 OVER; BOND $500
Probable Cause in Burglary Charge Preferred by
 Boyle.

Edward Bennett. who burglarized the "Idler" motor boat belonging to Daniel Boyle of the D. M Read Co on Thursday night, was bound over to the next term of the Superior court under $500 bonds. Bennett's only de- fense was that he did not know what he was doing. He had no recollection of any of his acts. When discovered he had personal property belonging to the owner.
 Bennett is evidently a more clever man than the police give him credit for. Barney Sakowitz. the Bank street tailor, reported to the police to-day just as Bennett was being carried away to jail, that the latter had visit ed him a few days ago and given him orders for six suits and other neceS- sary equipment for sailors. Bennett pretended that he was the captain of the sloop Ethel Maud and that he had hired six men to ship aboard that vesse. His game was to pay about S1 to Sakowitz and charge the six men S5 each for the suits.
 He showed the tailor a captains license issued by Charles J. Marr, col wiscasset, Maine. The license was 24 1909, and was issued in the name of Frank Brewer as captain for Flor ence Bracket, of Boothbay Harbor Maine sole owner of the slooo.
 Bennett said in court to-day that he lad come to this city recently on the lumber schooner Ethel Maud. Ssszs

LETTER CARRIERS
 PLAN FINE OUTING

The first annual outing of the local letter carriers will be held at Lang enbergers Grove Sunday Aug. 18th, which will be one of the big events of the season. As this is the first affair of it's kind ever given by the carriers, no expense will be spared to make it a success It is restricted to members employed in the mail ser vice. One of the chief attractions of the day will be a ball game between the Carriers and the Clerks. Heap Big Chief Strike-em-out Kearns of Wowompon tribe expects to take the Carriers scalps, while the Carriers under the able management of Billy O'Shea claim to have the Indian sign on the Clerks already. Henry Seit- ginger challenges either Meyers or Me- E1roy, or both to run a race from Myrtle Beach to the grove on the day of the outing, for a purse of $25.

NEW STREET GRAB

The administration of Mayor Lee, which has earned for itself place in history, because of the gifts of public rights that have been made to corpora tions. is confronted now with an op- portunity to make a further gift, which is nothing less than IA inches in each side of Fairfield avenue, to the New Haven Railroad. to which has al- acres of the central and most valuable portion of the harbor, and the right to congest Stratford avenue and Con- gress street with spur tracks which will be laid at right angles to the course of traffic, from the company's car barns.
 Although the members of the per- manent pavement commission were told by Engineer Elweu Of the New Haven Railroad Co, that the company desired to take off an average of seven inches on each side of Fairfield ave- nue. it was shown, at the meeting of the commission. last night, that the plan is to take off IA inches from each side of the street. Engineer McKenna produced the map offered by the com pany, showing that it would take IA inches on the north side of the street between Middle and Main street and east of Middle street on the same side a strip A inches wide at the corner. tapering to nothing at point near the Adams House. Beyond this point the average of the space to be removed from the walk would be seven inches. On the south side of Fairfield avenue it is planned to take off 14 inches be- ginning at Main street. tapering to about s inches at Middle street.
 On the southwest corner of Fairfield avenue and Water street the company desires to take another strip of walk
 Commissioner Atwater said the pro- ject would widen the street so that automobiles could pass a trolley car The mayor replied that the improve ments would only widen the dummy gauge of the company and not help that if he had his way she would not allow an automobile pass through Fairfield avenue at all. and said that he might oppose the petition.

Beverly. Mass. Aug. 7-Beverly be- gan putting on airs of sudden pros perity at $40 to-day when President Taft arrived from Washington. The from g to 8 a day, the hackmen ad- vanced their prices from 25 cents to 50 cents for a station trip and several small boys were put into action by the two telegraph companies that oc- cupy the same floor in the building with the President The presence of the Cuban and Chilian ministers who are spending their vacations in the neighborhood, added a diplomatic flavor to the atmosphere at the station when the President arrived.
 Senator Warren of Wyoming who was the leading opponent of free hides in the recent tariff fight, travelled in the train from Washington to Boston hard time getting a berth and would have been obliged to sit up all night had not Assistant Secretary Forster of the Presidents staff taken pity on him and ordered that one of the berths reserved for the Executive force be turned over to him.
 Poor MT. Warren" said Forster s.got nothing out of Congress and I guess he deserves at least a sleep'
 Warren, in discussing his surrender on free hides. refused to take the pes sinistic view of the situation. In fact he is doing a lot of growing. eve got good deal more of a reduction on leather than we gave on hides," he said, land the people of the east will discover before long that they did not make much out of the western cattle men, Hides will be cheaper than they were before the enactment of the new law. Argentine will raise ths price on hides just enough to cover the amount that was taken off.''
 Warren was asked why he was go- ing to. Boston and replied that he was taking the trip in order to allow the boot and shoe men to make him "a present of the city halr' for his gen. erosity in giving Massachusetts free hides. During the trip over to Bos- ton Warren was in close consultation with c. S.
