New York.-No such welcome was
ever before given an American citizen
rs that which was accorded Theodore
Roosevelt when he returned to the
land of his birth on June IS. In &C.
cordance with his request, the greet.
ing was wholly free from partisanship,
and indeed his injunction was scarcely
needed. for It seemed the entire ma.
ton was eager TO welcome home the
former president.
Since emerging from the African
Jungle the latter part OF March, Mr..
Roosevelt has been the guest Of near.
ly every European ruler and almost
unprecedented honcrs have been
hoaped on him. The reception by
his fellow citizens was hitting eli.

WILL TRY TO SOLVE A PUZZLE
CAUSED BY MRS. EDDY'S DEATH
Christian Science OFFICIAL Says Prob
lem Regarding Laws Will Be
Threshed Out.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec 9.-That the
situation faced today by the Christian
Science organization through the
death of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
is one which must be met, but which
will no doubt be threshed out without
causing the church or publishing So
ciety any embarrassment, was the
statement today by Chairman Fariow
of the publicity committee.
1t was pointed out however, that a
strange situation does face the Chris
tian Science church, for much Of Its
constituent law bars the directors
from framing many important func'
tions without the consent of the pas
tor emeritus. II was stated no sue
cessor to Mrs. Eddy, pastor emeritus
would be named. One member Of the
Christian Science organization declar'
ed that unless Mrs. Eddy had desig
mated a successor or delegated final
authority to the directors, they are
tied.
This situation greatly enhances in
terest in her will, Of which al the
Christian Science officials deny

instrument she appoints authority fol-

J. Bryan today served notice on the
Democratic party that he will be hat
iy against the nomination of any east
ern candidate for the presidency IA
1917, who has the faint OF Wall-st. to
any degree. In an editorial In his
Commoner, Bryan declares the party
TO be more radical today than ever
before. He says:
The Democrats are being asked
TO accept Wall-st leadership--not be-
cause OF any Democratic principle ad-
vanced, but because Wall-st. promises
victory Wall-st. has promised VIC
tory before: IL Is not new promise.
1892 the Democratic party won VIC

Bryan says editorially in the Common
er:
The whole scheme Is repugnant to

EIGHT CANDIDATES
President Taft Will Appoint Two
Justices Of Supreme Court From
Field of Eight.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-From the
following list OF eight men. President
Taft early next week will announce
his two appointees TO the supreme
court OF the United States:
Justice Swayxe, Of the supreme court
Of New Jersey.
Judge Lamar, formerly chief justice
Of the supreme court OF Georgia.
United States District Judge Cor

Circuit Judge William G. Hook, OF

United States Circuit Judge John G.
Pollock of the Eighth district
Chief Justice WILSON, OF the SUI
preme court of Wisconsin.
Senator George Sutherland, OF Utah.
This was the authoritative statement
made today by one who Is in close
touch with the president. The eight
names are those which nave been
picked from list OF 400 candidates.
II Is said to be more probable than
ever that Associate Justice Hughes
will be made chief justice. In that
case the president will be likely to
appoint two of the men mentioned as
associate justices.
Judge Lamar has the backing of the
southeastern Democrats; and Judge
Russell, only recently elevated from
a seat I'm the house of Representatives,
is Endorsed by the middle southern
Democrats.
II is known that Senator Bristow, OF
Kansas. and other progressives In the
senate would bitterly oppose Pollock
and. as his home is In Bristow's state,
II Is not thought likely that he Will
be chosen. The progressives would
also oppose the confirmation Of Suth-
