FARMERS HOLD GRAIN.

Atchison, Kan, Dec. 3.1Traveling
men who make northern and western
Kansas say that farmers in their ter
ritory are not selling a great deal of
grain, but are holding 1t for higher
prices, and are borrowing money to
carry them through the winter, or are
drawing on their bank deposits for the
same purpose.
For that reason, many of the mer-
chants are not buying heavily, holding
that the farmers won't do much Christ
mas shopping on borrowed capital The
statement of the travelling men is borne
out also by decreased bank deposits.

interfere. Won Wolf lives on Clay

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec 3-Frank N.
Hoffstot, millionaire banker and steel
manufacturer. today lost the first bat
tie in his fight to have quashed an in
dictment charging him with bribery
in connection with the passage of a
bank depository ordinance by Pitts
burg councils.
An opinion was handed down in
quarter sessions court, which disposes
of all objections raised by Hoffstot
Principal among them was that Har-
rison Nesbit, a former national bank
examiner, but now Pittsburg bank
president, had no legal right to be
foreman of the grand jury which found
the indictment, because it was alleged
he was not a citizen of the county.
The case of Max Leslie, county de-

Leaves chihuahua on a Special
Bearing White Flag.
THIS is FIRST TIME.
Never Before Has Government
Treated With Rebels.
Will Try to Agree on a Basis for
Settlement.

Chihuahua, Dec 2. via Ell Paso, Dec.
IA special train bearing a peace
commission of four members appointed
by President Diaz has left here with
a flag of truce flying from the engine.
The commission go to discuss with the
revolutionary leaders ways and means
of bringing the present disturbances to
an end.
A letter from the president was re-
ceived, naming the following as COM
missioners:
Judge Jose NJ. Danders. DR.. Garcia
Cardenas. and Senores Amadoes and
Santiago Gonzales.
All are prominent citizens of this
city. The news Of the appointment of
a commission occasioned considerable
surprise, as it is said to be the first
time in 80 years that the government
has sought thus to treat with insur-
rectos.
The commissioners, among other
things, will endeavor to ascertain just
what grievances aff1ict the revolution
lists. Terms of peace will be discuss
ed and a report made to the national
capital. The insurrectos will be given
to understand that If they persist IN
bearing arms against the government
they will be given a lesson which it is
thought will leave the state Of Chi
huahua in peace for many years.
The departure of the commission
had no effect on, military preparations.
While waiting for reinforcements the
local troops have been thoroughly in
spected and the work of gathering
supplies for campaign proceeds
daily. Water must be carried over
much of the route. Scouts are in the
hills daily. Occasionally they catch
sight of small scouting parties of the
enemy, but there has been no fighting
since Tuesday at Pardenalles.
Forty of the government troops
who were in that fight and who es-
capped are reported as entering this
city by a circuitous route to avoid the
insurrectos.
The troops of the government
forces from Sonora marching in the
direction of Guerrero, which is now
held by sixty-1ve regulars were re-
ported at Batopilas today They still
have about ten days marching ahead
of them providing they do not en-
counter the revolutionists before
reaching their destination.
Heavy patrols march nightly
through the streets here. This is
largely a precaution against an up
rising of revolutionary sympathizers
within the city There is no doubt
that should the insurrectionists now
in the mountains succeed in gaining
the city they would find many ready
to Join them.

TAFT NOT YET READY.
Judge Pollock VIII Not Know His
ssFate'' for a Week.

washington, Dec. 3.-President Taft
intimated today that it would probably
be q week or ten days before he would
announce the appointment to I'LL the
vacancy on the supreme bench of the
limited States and did not give any
statement that would form a conclusion
as to his possible selection. Many
friends of Judge John S. Pollock of the
federal court in Kansas, visited the
president in the interests of the Kan
sas mans candidacy. The president
said nothing in an hours conference at
the White House that would indicate
that he did not intend to appoint the
Kansan.
There are many friends of Judge Pol
lock in Washington this week and sew
eral conferences have been held with
the president concerning the appoint
ment of the Kansas federal judge.
Th ,se men are hopeful today. Tho
president informed the Kansas crowd
that it would be several days before he
would make an announcement of his
choice.
while Judge Pollock is widely known
in the west, but little is known of the
man in Washington circles ana the ap-
parent strength of the Kansas man in
the race for the appointment is mat
ter of speculation among men inter-
ested in the appointment. Judge Pol
lock is known in Washington as q
strone. Roosevelt adn1irer and a per-
is said that President Taft has eX-
pressed approval of the frank, straight
forward methods used by Judge Pol
lock since his appointment to the fed
eral judSeship in 1903.
It is believed that the president has
concluded to name Associate Justice
Hughes as chief justice and it is quite
nrobable that one of the two remain
ing vacancies will be filled by the ap
poIntment of Judge Swayze, of New
Jersey. The third place was at first
thought to have been conceded to
Charles NageI. secretary of commerce
and labor Then Pollock became u
prominent factor in the race Senator
Sutherland of Utah. w. D. McHugh of
Omaha. United States Circuit Judge
vandevanter of Wyoming are also
contenders for the position.

ing upon the fact that the San Fran

Santa Fe Railroad Places Ban
on Cigarette Users.
IF Smoking Interferes With
Your Work, Cut Out Work.
JOB is THE PENALTY.
No New Position for Man Who
Uses Sticks
Old Employees Required to Give
Up the Habit.

Ii cigarettes interfere with your
business, cut out your business.
This is the way the Atchison, Topeka
& santa F'e railway feels about it's en-
ployees who are addicted to the habit
OF smoking the coffin nails,'
At any rate officials over the entire
system have received wireless code
and that code reads-"Do away with
the cigarette fiends."
Commencing this month the travelling
officers of the Santa Fe will keep their
eyes open for the yellow fingers" and
all those captured in the act will be
warned to either cut out the little white
pills or cut out their association with
one of the greatest railroad systems in
the world.
Since the first of December several
employees along the lines of the Santa
Fe have been discharged. II they were
in doubt of the reason of their dis
charge they were informed that the
sign of the yellow fingers was enough
to warrant their relief of duty.
The young men OF the Santa Fe who
use cigarettes at this time have a
chance to hold their positions, by giving
them up. The officials realize that the
cigarette habit is one that cannot be
cured in single night and they have
offered every chance to good employees
whose minds have not been clouded by
the sticks
No Cigarette Smokers Need Apply.
But to the man who applies for a
position with the smell of cigarettes on
his clothes and the yellow stain on his
hngers-nothing doing. The officials
have been trained to consider this one
of the first Recommendations and
they act accordingly.
1t is the general rule on practically
every modern railroad to require a man
to state in his application whether or
not he uses cigarettes. But with the
new rule-there are not enough other
good qualities on the applications to
overshadow the use of pills"
The grounds upon which this radical
step has been taken by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad Is that the
continual use of the cigarette clouds
the mind of the smoker, saps his physi-
cal strength. and makes him unfit for
