would suggest that after the ID. U. r.
paint the cars. in the place OF using
so much fuel to keep them warm. as
recommended by the mayor. that they
could further improve them by placing
some nice red roses inside. II would
make the car look nice and help take
of the chill while the passengers were
admiring them. and at the same time
save quite lot OF that 100000.

A small boy driving an auto
mobile and horse hitched to a

narrow escape of a man from in

wrecking of a dray.

on Elm street, near the corner of

automobile, driven by his small
son, Master Ertle, about ten years
old. appeared on the scene. The
car bumped into the right rear
wheel of the dray and the horse
departed like a flash up to the
street. Lon was standing near
by but the horse was unhitched
and he was not near enough to
stop him. At the corner Of Elm

had narrow escape from injury.
He had just turned the corner
in his buggy and the runaway
horse was bearing straight down
upon him. Mr.. Norment jumped
out and ran to his horses head
with his whip, thinking to make

horse paid no heed and would
probably have run over Mr.. Nor.

 RF0RCAN|zf II Future of Republican Party in His Hands and He In vites the Insurgents
TO CALL AND SEE HIM
Message Ready for Press Associations Only Reference to the
 Tariff.
International News Special

International News Special
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.-After 3. five hour session of the Cabinet to- day, beginning at 10 o'clock this morning and lasting until 8 o'clock tMs afternoon, the presidents mes- sage was read and o. K'd and at mid- night tonight it will be distributed to the press associations for circulation The message will probably be read to Congress sn Tuesday next.
 The understanding tonight that there ia little more than a perfup C. tory reference to the Tariff in the l message. The work that the Tariff Board has undertaken is referred to and the President expresses the hope that as result of the Boards inves- tigation of accurate information on which to base a scientific revision of the Tariff when needed. will be se- cured.
 There will not be any relaxation now though the work will not be SC strenuous, for it was announced al the White House this afternoon that the president will not give himself up to tic numerous callers who had been seeking his attention for the past week. Preference will be giv- fn and. it is likely that within the next few days will not only this exclusive program for the Congressional ses- sion take place, but the first steps looking to the reorganization of the Republican party will be taken.
 The president has caused it to be known that the Senators and Repre- sentatives, hitherto classed as Insur- 1 gents, will be welcomed at the White House and their coming is expected For the president is in earnest in his des're to consult with all members of his party. irrespective of faction and arrice at the complete under standing on future policies. It is known that everybody is waiting for the president to act. One of the best known of the sem-Insurgents de- clared today that the president had it in his own hands to bring the party together and he pointed out that there was little time to waste since the presidential campaign of 1912 is now already on.
 After the president has thoroughly talked with the party leaders he will take up the matter of judicial ap- pointments. There is no change to- day in the situation with regard to the chief justiceship. Justice Hughes still remains in the lead.
