~ ROM the standpoint of the President
~ himself. much OF the success of
President Tafts great transconU-
mental tour is depending upon what
might be denOminated his personal trav-
cling staff-that is, the small group OF
men who are his companions throughout
the l3V9O-mile journey and in Salt Lake.
II IS not meant, Of course, That these
participants I'm the greatest OF presidential
tours are able to influence the state of
the weather, the size and enthusiasm of
the crowds that greet the chief executive,
or any OF the other considerations that,
in popular estimation. make or mar the
prolonged swing around the circle.
What the personal cOterte does have the
say about is the comfort of the diStlu-
guished traveller and, to a considerable
extent, his enjoyment Of the month and
half of continuous railrOading and steam
boating
To persons who have high estimate
OF the personal OmnlpOtence of the Pres
ident of the United States il may, at first
thought. appear a trifle strange that the
peace OF mind Of a chief executive should
be in any degree dependent upon a half
dozen travelling companions. most OF
whom are private citizens. That such is
the case is due. primarily. to the fact
that the President ON his western trip is
largely among comparative strangers. and
IN many instances Is the guest of per
sons VINO have just met him for the first
time. IL goes without saying that local
committees. state and municipal officials,

all along the route will, to the best Of
their knowledge, do everything possible
to make the President comfortable.
The crucial point is that many of these
local dignitaries do not know and have
no means Of finding out at short notice,
the Presidents tastes and habits. Thus
il comes about that if the routine Of the
lengthy tour is to go smoothly and with
a minimum of friction. that is always
hard on the weary traveller, il will be due
to the efforts of the little circle of time

The Yom Kippur service began last
night at o'clock. The great auditorium
of the temple was filled to the doors
with worshippeTs. The service opened
with a beautiful musical program. In
his discourse Rabbi Freund referred to
the Presidents visit and later prayed for
his welfare. He said in part in his dis
course:
I'VE have specific duties to our fellow
men and especially TO those of our faith.
As generally taken for granted, it is as

we extend sympathy and support to the

death OF. an invalid husband.
She could easily get enough money
on which to return to her home in
the East by appealing to her family
but, as she explained, "They opposed
my marriage to Jack, and my pride
prevents me from doing that
Then she said that, if she could
only sell her furs for SIS or $40, she
would be able to get back home.
My father paid $3.50 for them," she
added, and you may see they are
genuine"
As rule the matron's sympathy
was aroused and she agreed to make
the purchase
Asking permission to wear the furs
until she would be ready to leave the
city and arranging to have them de-
livered c. o. d., the young woman
then departed. Upon opening the pack

companies after having paid for them,

imitation furs had been sent them in
place of the valuable set that had
seen worn by the stranger.

MAID palms Off IMITATION
FURS UPON SOCIETY WOMEN

Denver, Colo, Dec l4.-Scores of
women living on Capitol HILL Denver's
fashionable residence district, have been
duped during tie last few days into
the purchase of bogus furs by the
plausible tale of a pdetty young wom-
an imposter.
The fact became known when it
was admitted at the Denver office of
one of the big express companies that
nearly wagon load of the imitation
furs had been delivered yesterday G..
0. ID. at varions mansions on the hill,
and today there followed inquiries
from several husbands whose wives
had discovered the deception.
That there will be no prosecution
of the young woman, however should
she be located is assured as none of
the victims is willing to assume the
responsibility.
Calling at the most fashionable
homes, the young woman, dressed in
sombre black and wearing valuable
set of furs, asked to see the matron
of the house. Then she related a
sorrowful tale of how she had come

SUCCEEDS BISHOP STANLEY
Rev. James O'Reilly of Minneapolis Is
Made Bishop.

Minneapolis, Dec. l5-Christmas will
have a tinge of sadness for the mem
bers of the church of st. Anthony of
Padua in northeast Minneapolis, for
the beloved priest, Rev. James O'Rielly
has been appointed bishop of Fargo
and will soon leave to take charge
of his diocese.
News of Father O'Reillys eleva-
ton came in gable from Rome. The
pope, says the cablegram, approved the
recommendation OF the concistorial con
gregation as presented by the secre-
tary, Cardinal de Lai, and named the
Minneapolis man for the vacancy in
the diocese of Fargo, existing since
the death of Rt. Rev. John Stanley
last July.
Father O'Reilly is one of the best
known priests in Minneapolis and is
one of the Oldest in years of service
He has been priest of st. Anthony of
Padua for twenty six years In that
time he has built the parish school and
has made $4,000 worth of improve
ments to the church property He has
greatly strengthened the parish both
spiritually and materially, say those
who are familiar with his work.
Father O'Reilly was born in Ireland
about fifty three years ago. He was
educated at All Hollows seminary, Ire
land, and soon after his ordination to
the priesthood came to this country,
and to the northwest.

Washington Dee. l5.-Does the
Yuletide, with it's demand for Christ
mas trees, prove menace to the Am
erican forests?
Does it tend to denudation of the
timber lands?
These are questions asked of the
United States forestry service by those
interested in the conservation of ma
tional resources. The subject has de-
ceiyed the serious consideration OF the
Forestry Bureau, and the reply has
been sent out that there need be no
danger of destruction if the cutting OF
young evergreens for Christmas trees
is done with discrimination. In young
pine forests, it is stated, the thinning
out process can do no harm, but where
trees are slasked in reckless manner
the results are detrimental.

this Christmas tree NATTER" said Chief

ARE HANDY WITH THE PEN
Several Fellows Alleged to Be Hand
ing out Bad Checks.

Charles r. Frost, secretary of the
Minnesota Bankers association, has
issued the following:
To Members of Minnesota Bankers
Associations: The First State Bank
of Grand Rapids has just advised me
by long distance telephone that two
men operating under a number of diff
ferent names have been passing forged
checks, drawn OH their bank, i'll various
town in Minnesota
The name of one of these men is
probably NJ. j. Johnson, and lie has
also used the name E. Foley. His de-
scription is as follows: Age thirty five
years; height five feet 10 inches; COM
pleXion medium; eyes dark grey; weight
l75 pounds; he is smooth shaven and
is a very good penman.
The second man has used the name
]. Lee. His description is as follows
Age, twenty four years; height, five
feet Z inches; complexion light; eyes
blue; weight l6O pounds; his face is
smooth shaven.
These men have had the form OF
check used by the firm of Foley, Welch
&; Stewart, made for them by the
Grand Forks Herald. The name of Fo-
ley, Welch & Stewart is printed on the
check and the name H. B. Shoop is
written in by the operators. The for
gerry, it is said, is very good one.
These men take turns about in getting
the checks cashed. They have al
ready operated at Bena, Cass Lake and
Deer River, and the supposition is that
they will go to Park Rapids, Walker,
Aitkin, Akeley, Duluth and Superior
if they are not stopped. Thus far the
checks have ranged in amounts from
$lS to $50.
These men are clever swindlers and
every effort will be made to secure
their arrest. If either one OF both of
them. are seen they should be arrested
at once on the charge of forgery and
my office notified by wire or phone.
Please inform your police officers of
this matter and also furnish them with
description of the men.

WILL TEST IN WEST
PROF. THOMAS JONNESCO, emil
NENT SURGEON, COMING.
He Is the Man Who Has Demonstrate
ed the Use of the New AneSthesia,
Stovaine; Plan to Have Him Come
to Minneapolis; Entertainment
Planned BY the Doctors; Regents
of "U," Act

Minneapolis, Dee. l5.-Prof. Thomas
Jonnesco, Rumanian surgeon and edu-
Gator, is to demonstrate the use OF
the new anesthesia, stovaine, before
Minnesota surgeons. At the. invitation
of DR.. William j. Mayo of Rochester,
DIR. Jonnesco will come to Minnesota
early in January. He will perform
operations in the Rochester hospital
and an effort will be made to induce
him to operate and demonstrate the
use of stovaine before the university
medical students and the medical men
of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The announcement of DR.. Jonnesco's
coming to Minnesota was made at the
university yesterday. DIR. William ).
Mayo of Rochester, one of the most
prominent surgeons in the country, Is
a university regent and attended the
regents meeting today.
Dean of Rumanian University.
DR.. ,Jonnesco is dean of the medical
faculty of the University of Bucharest
in Rumania. He is not the discoverer
of stovaine, but he has done much
experimenting with it as an anesthet-
ic He came 40 the United States for
the purpose of demonstrating its use
before American surgeons.
Stovaine is one of the MANY syn
thetic substances which surgeons have
produced in the effort to find an anes-
thetizing agent as effective as cocaine,
but less poisonous. The patient under
its influence is entirely conscious dur
ing an operation and may, if he pleases
and the surgeon is willing, watch the
operation or himself. DIR. Jonnesco's
statistics of operation show that his
success has been remarkable, although
there is some skepticism among Am
erican physicians whether the use of
stovaine is attended with better re-
suits than that of ether.
Have Created a Sensation.
DR.. Jonnesco's operations in the east
have created sensation and DR..
Mayo's invitation to the Mumanian
surgeon was given after he watched
DIR. Jonnesco perform operations under
stOvaine.
The Rumanian doctor has not per-
formed all of the operations in this
country by himself. In many cases he
merely administered the stovaine,
which is injected into the spinal cord,
and permitted American surgeons to
perform the operations.
The regents of the university yes
terday discussed DR.. Jonnesco's COM
ing to Minnesota. He probably will
be entertained in Minneapolis by the
university medical faculty.

YuLETIDE is a Menace TO THE
FORESTS, SAYS MR.. PINCH0T

Forester Pinchot, and have finally
reached this conclusions:
"Trees are for use. There is no
other use to which these trees could
be put which would contribute so
much to the happiness and good of
mankind as their use for the children
and family on Christmas. So far as
endangering the future life of our
forests is concerned, the fact is in
fnitesimal, compared with the destruc-
ton caused by forest fires and waste

1t is estimated that 100000 Christ
mas trees are used annually. If plant
ed four feet apart these could be
grown upon 400 acres of land
1t is stated that the use of Christ
mas trees is proved in Germany to be
perfectly compatible with the welfare
of the forest, and that the cutting
of the Christmas trees where the per
capita of consumption is the greatest

OLD FRIENDS HELD REUNION
Mankato and Winona Man Who Knew
Each Other in Boyhood.

Winona Republican and Herald: "a
somewhat unusual reunion took place
this week at the Schellhas cafe in this
city, when John Hettler of Mankato
and William Schnitzler of Godfrey,
Minnesota, had a joyous reuion after
a lapse of twenty-seven years. Inc
two gentlemen went to the cafe for
dinner and while eating eyed each
other up. and down, but neither spoke.
When the meal was over they came
together and few words brought out
the fact that they were boyhood
chums. Neither had seen the other
for twenty seven years, so that it was
not surprising they did not recognizes
each other at first. While they had
been boys together at Mankato Mr..
Schnitzler had left there and to an
extent they had drifted out of each
others memory. They spent the af-
ternoon together, and in the evening
invited in some of their friends to
take supper with them at the same
cafe in celebration of their reunion.
