Mrs. Elise Sigel, widow of General Franz
Sisel, died at the home OF her daughter.
Mrs. Leila Schehl. No 1920 Simpson street.
The Bronx. at o'clock last night. Mrs.
Sigel had been unconscious as the result
of paralytic stroke since last Monday.
At the time of her death Mrs. Sigers
daughter. Mrs. Schehl. her sons Paul and
Franz, jr., and two children of Mrs. Schehl
were with her. Her death had been ex-
pected almost hourly for two days. but her
remarkable vitality, despite her seventy
five years, kept her alive.
Mrs. Sigel was the daughter of Dr. Ru-
dolph Dulon, and was born in Werben,
Germany. Her father was pastor of the
Reformed Church there. and by his writ
lnSs took an active part in the awakening
in Germany which led TO the revolutions
OF 1Sis and 1919. When the most active
revolutionists were forced to flee from Ger
many DIR. Dulon went 10 Heiigoland. then
British possession. taking his family with
him.
Franz Sigel was a leader in the revelu-
tion, and he and DR.. Dulon were warm
friends 1t was Franz SigeI who led the
retreat OF the revolutionists into Switzer-
land. DR., DuIon went to London in 1851,
and there were frequent meetings of exiled
revolutionists in an old tavern. Franz
DIR, Dulon renewed their friendship.
1t was there that Franz Sisel met Miss
Dulon, and within a month they had
pledged their troth. In May, 1852. he came
70 New YORK. and about a year later DR..
Dulon brought his family to New York
at Franz SieeFs request. Franz SigeI and
Miss Dulon were married soon after in
Brooklyn.
Sigel and his wife were in St Louis
where he was teaching school, when the
civil war broke out. He organized a regi-
ment and a battery composed of Germans
and offered them TO President Lincoln. He
made splendid record in the war and
1902.
Mrs Sigel was never told of the death of
her granddaughter. Elsie Sigel. the mis-
found in room in chop suey restau-
rant after her murder, presumably by
one of her pupils Mrs Sigel thought her
granddaughter was attending a girls col
lege in Connecticut.
The funeral will probably be held on

Washington, Jan. L.. Representative
Mondell. of Wyoming. chairman of the
Puollc Lands Committee. introduced Presi-
dent Tafts reclamation bond issue bill To-
day. Typewriter on the bill as it fell into
the house basket were the words ..in
troduced by request" but these vera
atterward eliminated by Representative
Mondelrs fountain pen. His action did
not mean that he had had a change of
heart regarding his opposition to Mr.
Ta1tS conservation measures but that his
hostility to them was we'll known and
needed no further exploitation. The bill
was referred TO the Committee on Wavs
and Means, which is understood to be
favorable to the Presidents plan.
The bill authorizes the Secretary Of the
Treasury to borrow $4,000 900 upon notice
from the Secretary of the Interior IN
defray the expenses incurred in the rec
iamation of arid and semi-arid lands.
this sum to be used only for the purposa
of completing feasible reclamation proi

tensions TO such projects. and in the con-
struction of new reclamation projects Roc

provided in denominations of $780, or an,,
multiple of that sum, which shall be re-

AGAINST KNOX PLAN,
Russia Opposed to Neutrali@a-
ton IN Manchur1d.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE Council of
Ministers has decided that the United
States proposal for the naturalization of
the Manchurian railways is not acceptable
to the Russian government at present.
Russas reply to Secretary Knox's note
will be delivered to United States Ambas-
sador Rockhill in few days.
1t is understood, howeer, that Russia is
not willing to decide finally concerning that
part of the memorandum which described
the Chinchow-Aigun Railroad project un-
dertaken by American and British capital
until further light upon the intentions of
the promoters of the new line has been re-
ceived.
Russia is opposed TO the construction of
the extension north of TSitSikhar, but may
participate in the Tsitsikhar-Chinc
portion OF the road under certain condi-
tions.
1t is said Japan has announced that it
has no right to veto the construction of
the road under the secret treaty between
China and Japan. but will ask that the
Japanese government be permitted to par
ticipate in the enterprise.
The local authorities at Harbin have in
stituted a practice of demanding pass
ports from hotel guests in that city, the
same as is done in Russia. This has been
undertaken by the local officials there inde-
pendent of authority frem st. Petersburg,
and will result, it is expected here, in in
ternational complications.

H1RMONY IN RO1RD
SO Say Mayor, Prendergast
and Mitchell 4fter Conference.

Following long conference between
Mayor Gaynor, Controller Prendergast
President Mitchell of the Board of Alder
men and Borough President McAneny yes
terday afternoon, IL was said by each one
that they were in entire harmony. The
Mayor said that it was only one of several
conferences held since the first of the year.
and that far there had been no diff
ferences of opinion; that he had been in
accord with his colleagues of the Board of
Estimate and expected that he would con-
tinue so-althOugh one could never tell
what might happen.
1T has been supposed that there would
be trouble over the secretaryship of the
Board of Estimate, now held by Joseph
Haag, a good Tammany man. The fusion
members of the board decided in caucus
that he must go. and President Mitchell
favors Raymond B. Fosdick for the place.
The fusionists have not changed their de-
termination, but it was said yesterday
that nothing would be done at present.
1t had been supposed that the Mayor
would hold out for Mr.. Haag's retention.
but he has shown little regard for the
feelings of Tammany as organization
in other matters that the impression is
gaining ground that he may not be averse
to seeing Mr.. Haag out of the secretary
snip Inc place pays 9i,oUU a year. MT.
Fosdick. who is being prominently men
toned as Mr.. Haag's successor is an AS
sistant Corporation Counsel connected
with the office of the Commissioners of
Accounts, where he did" some valuable
work for President Mitchell of the Board
of Aldermen when he was a Commissioner
of Accounts.
How little Mayor Gaynor is hewing to
organization lines in making his appoint
ments is shown in the fact that he has
offered the place of Commissioner of Ac-
counts to Marvyn Scudder, who has been
a member of the New York County Repub-
lican Committee. Mr.. ScuddeP, who is
said TO be making about $4,000 a year as
a public accountant is heSitating about
giving this up for $4,000 year, the sal
ary attached to the Office of Commissioner
of Accounts.
Mr.. Scudder was the accountant for the
insurance investigating committee, and in
Vestigated the books of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company for the Public
Service Commission. He also was special
accountant in the investigation OF the Of
flee of Borough President Ahearn.

cost Cf living was In full swing to-day
1t is estimated that fully 5000 men have
already signed a pledge to abstain from
meat for month in an effort to break

An effort will be made by the promot-
ers of the plan to spread the doctrine of
anti-meat to all parts of Ohio. Already
similar movement has been started in
Springfield, with several hundred follow
ers While the strike is directed at the
high cost of meat, the advanced price of
other staple foods will not be overlooked.
A prominent dealer in livestock Is au-
thority for the statement that If meat
eating were stopped for one week prices
would drop to the right level. 1t is pre-
dicted that by the end of the week up
ward of 10000 families will be enlisted
in the movement against high priced
food

quest that he investigate the high prices

never be forgotten by those who have
followed his remarkable career as Gov
ernor"
Governor Hughes may believe that
he is about to retire to private life,"
gaid Representative Norris, of Ne
hraska. ''hut 7 feel sure that the people
Of New York State will not be so fool
ish as 10 allow him to carry out his in
tention If he ie a poor man some fund
should be raised TO keep him at the

Trustworthy, able and conscientious ex-
ecutiye. He is a national figure. and
the policies that he stands for are al
most as DEFINITE in the minds of the
people as those of Theodore Roosevelt"
In Ohio" said Representative Doug
lass. ''the people remember Governor
Hughes for the part he took in the last
campaign. They have confidence in him.
They have followed his career and know
all about his struggles. / regret that
the country is to lose his example, and
! trust that he will not feel that any
advice he has TO offer would be unwel-
come. The people will listen to Governor
Hughes as to few other men in the coun-
try"
Other expressions of the same char
acter came from Representatives Gard
ner, Cooper. Stevens and a host of
others.
In an editorial Tonight The Wash
ineton Star" says. in part:
Governor Hughes is not only the strong
est man in his party at home but one of
its foremost national figures. He is easily
the sblest Chief Executive New York has
had since Mr.. Tilden, being at once a man
of convictions and backbone and lawyer
OF the first rank. He sprang into emil
nence at a bound, and every step he has
taken since has increased his hold on the
admiration of the country. IT is generally
agreed that his talents and character are
second to those Of no man in public life.
II is no ordinary man, therefore, the New
York Republicans must find TO take this
mans place Only the best will meet the
emergency. Simply a hsrmonizer will not
answer. Harmony Is necessary, but in
addition 10 that the Republicans must find
leader willing and capable TO carry for
word the policies TO which the party under
Governor Hughes's leadership is now COM
rnitted- Some of these policies have not
been. and are not now, to the taste Of the
machine men of the party, but they could
not be abandoned without disaster to the
organization. The new leader must be if
pot the equal of the school OF the man

LIBERAL TRIUMPH
Continued from FIRST page.

and Mr.. Burns and his friends were corf-
siderably frightened this year Since the
most picturesque figure in Westminster was

thusiastic support of the workngmen and
Socialists of his home district as their
spokesman, and since he held positions Of
increased responsibility. he has gradually
outgrown his old radical ideas John Burns
of to-day is a vastly different politician
from the old John Burns who exhortcd the
workinsmen in Trafalgar Square to rise
against the police. He has become one OF
the most conservative of Liberals. and is
even said 10 be at heart good Tory.
John Burns has so far outIived his famous
dictum that no man could honestly earn
more than $500 yearly that he holds a
$1,000 position and is likely TO be promot-
ed to $4,000 position. although his style
of living remains as modest as ever.

Speaker wadsworth said he assumed The
Trihune's story was authoritative.
1T is of interest because it opens the field
for political speculation said he. Il per-
sonally believe the Governors successor
will have to be man who can unite all the
elements, and one unScarred In any pre-
vious battle. I don't think this announce
ment will make any difference in the
Legislature. Bills will be considered on
their merits. | assume that most of the
Governors recommendations will be enact
ed into law this year, as was the case last
year
SENATOR ALLDS SILENT.
Senator Aids had read the story. but did
not care to comment on ii.
Senator Hill, chairman of the Finance
Committee, said he did not believe that the
retirement of Governor Hughes would make
any difference in the course of legislation.
"1t will be for the Republican party to
choose as his successor a man as near
like him as can be found" he said. The
next campaign, in my judgment will have
TO be made on a platform indorsing the two
Hughes administrations, and a progressive
Republican must be the standard bearer"
Senator Newcomb. of New York, said he
had read the story with much interest.
THE Governors retirement will make IL
necessary for the Republican party to go
hunting for his successor, who in my judg-
ment. must be Hughes man. said he Il
imagine there will be some interesting de-
velopments in political history before the
candidate is selected"
Assemblyman Merritt, the ma jority leader,
said he did not believe IL would be of any
interest to speculate on the effect of The
Trbune's announcement on legislation un-
less the Governor made such a statement
himself
II feel, however" he added, that the
Governor will run again
II do not think that whether the Gov
ernor runs again or not will have any
effect on the action of the Legislature dur
ing this session. said Mr.. Frisbie the
minority leader. ''I believe that members
will introduce and work for the passage of
the same bills in either case. From my ex-
perience | have found that the Governor
has judged bills on their merits and be-
lieve that the members generally under
stood this"
''If the direct nomination, telephone and
telegraph bills are killed at this session,
said Assemblyman Bennett. Governor
Hughes will have to run again or these
measures are dead"
