crime was of a very normal type)
there were only 1873 indictments, most

Administration Measures Mo-
Yet Formulated and Manv
Vacancies to Fill

Washington, Nov. S.-The return O,
President Taft to Washington mex
Wednesday is expected to put an end
to the policy of delay which has
dominated the Taft administration
since the passage of the tariff bill
last August. Since the departure Of
the president and almost his entire
cabinet from Washington many mat.
ters Of great Importance have beer
postponed for settlement pending
their return.
At present nobody in Washington
pretends to know what the Taft ad-
ministration expects to ask for pass
age at the coming congress. The
meeting of that body is only a month
off, and vet the paramount issue ol
the administration is not yet appar-
ent Congress is ready to cd business
on the first day of the session, having
completely organized at the special
session. AS yet, practically none OF
the bills which are to become admin
tration measures has appeared. 1t is
expected that the programme of the
administration will be determined al
series of conferences to be held al
the white house Immediately after re-
turn of the president.
State Department Chaotic.
The state department presents the
most chaotic condition of any of the
executive departments as result Of
the policy of delay. Changes in the
diplomatic corps at London, Pari sand
Pekin are on the table and the new
far eastern and Latin-American
bureaus are yet to be put on a work.

tary Nagel the department of COM
merce and labor Is being administer
ed Solicitor Earl, who is the acting
secretary since Ormsby McHarg, as
sistant secretary. resigned. The Gus
toms division of the treasury depart
ment, which administers the new
tariff law, is being supervised by
Charles D. Hilles, assistant secretary
of the treasury. in addition to his reg
ular duties. which are in themselves
onerOus. This situation Is the result
of the resignation of James B. Rey-
nolds, assistant secretary Of the treas
ury, who has become q member of
the tariff board.
1t is assumed here that all of these
vacancies will be filled in the near
future and that the customs court au-
thorized by the tariff law will also be
appointed. To date only an assistant
attorney has been appointed in con-
nection with this board. There is al
so vacancy on the supreme court,

NORTH DAKOTA
BEATS DELEWARE
Great Namesake of Great State
Proves Worthy of Her
Title

Boston, Nov. S-Throughout the
twenty-four hours of her test at a
twelve knot speed, which was finished
early yesterday. the North Dakota, the
new Sattleship of the dreadnaught
TYPE, maintained an economical con-
sumption of coal and water. The con-
sumption tests of the North Dakota
thus far have been in keeping with
the remarkable speed shown in her
special trials.
Up to the present stage the North
Dakota is said to have eclipsed the
fine showing of her sister ship, the
Delaware, but in doing SO the North
Dakota sacrificed one life, that of 16-
|year-old John Souden of Quincy, who
died at Portsmouth naval hospital last
night as the result of injuries reciev-
ed when boiler tube split open on
Friday
After anchoring east of Boston light
this morning for the purpose of clean
ing fires and oiling machinery, the
North Dakota again steamed out to
sea just before 10 a. M, on another
twenty-four hours test at nineteen
knots.
