TAFT READJUSTS
POLITICAL CIRCLE
REGARD AIdrich'S Influence with
President as Thing
of the Past
Associated Pressl

BEVERLY. Mass, Aug. 12.-Certain
events of today following incidents of
the past week or so lead to the con-
clusion that a complete readjustment
in circles close to the president is in
progress.
Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island called to see the president today
before the latter had finished break
fast. He talked with Mr.. Taft for
thirty-five minutes. He found that
the president had not read the sena-
tors reply to Senator Bristow's charges
regarding the rubber tariff.
The president was gratifed, how
ever, that Senator Aldrich had con-
sented to make a statement. In doing
so it is said Senator Aldrich performed
an act that fitted exactly into pro-
gram framed by party leaders close
to the president.
Although he il not to retire until
March 4, 1911-and Senator Aldrich
confirmed to President Taft today his
intention to do so-the readjustment
plans now in progress apparently treat
whatever influence Mr.: Aldrich may
have had with the president as a thing
of the past.
The elimination of Mr.. Aldrich, ac-
cording to close political observers, is
soon to be followed by the retirement
of Secretary Ballinger from the cabi-
net.
Mr.. Ballinger had lost practically all
of his personal fortune in defending
himself from the attacks that have
been made upon him. 1t is said that
one attorneys fee alone in the con-
gressional investigation alone cost Mr..
Ballinger $4,000 If the secretary is
to recover his losses, it is said, he
must soon resume the practice of law.
The retirement of Mr.. Ballinger is
fixed for September Is.
The congressional committee will
have reported by that time, and the
date is sufficiently early to take the so
called Ballinger issue out of the cam
paign.
The third move in contemplation is
said to be directed against Speaker
Cannon. 1t is not admitted in Beverly
that Mr.. Cannon will even be candi-
date for the speakership.
The Cannon situation, as thing of
the future, is a little difficult to handle.
Ii it were only known the president
would like to see a change, it is be-
lieved all doubts as to the result would
be removed

CzECHS MOB AMERICANS
AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS
Peasants Stone Autoists, BeIiev-
inu Them to Be Their Sworn
Foes, the Germans

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-Four disheveled
and excited American automobilists
were arrested Wednesday by gem
darmes at Wlaschin. Bohemia, in or
der to protect them from an infuriated
mob of Czechs.
Harry Sulzer and z. NJ Miller of
Chicago were touring with their wives
from Vienna to Dresden, proceeding at
a leisurely pace. Their car collided
with a country wagon, the driver of
which obstinately refused to make way
for the automobile.
A child sitting on load of hay was
thrown to the ground by the collision.
The automobilists stopped at once, but
found the youngster suffering more
from the shock than from injuries. As
they were preparing to depart a crowd
of peasants collected and with hostile
attitude surrounded the automobile.
The peasants having seen the Ger
man flag flying beside the Stars and
Stripes on the automobile, assumed the
autoists were Germans, and welcomed
the opportunity of giving their sworn
foes a sound drubbing.
From threats the peasants proceeded
to blows and stone throwing. Mrs.
Sulzer was hit by a stone and made
Sulzer and Mr.. Miller drew revolvers
and began firing with the object of
attracting the attention of the people
living in the vicinity and intimidating
the peasants.
This was of no avail. and they were
keeping their assailants at bay with
their firearms when gendarmes rushed
up.
Seeing the impossibility of rescuing
the Americans from the violence of the
mob they arrested the party, where
upon the peasants calmed down.

LETTER TELLS POLICE
ABOUT SUICIDE CLUB
Writer Declares Printers Are to
Take Their Own Lives

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12.-Accord-
ing TO a letter received by Chief of
Police Martin, this city will soon be
deprived of its newspaper printers
through suicide club formed by the
Typographical union. Miss NJ. McDon-
nell the writer of the letter, declares
that she learned of the suicide organ
ization through mind reading. She
declares that a number Of young men
of the union have already committed
suicide and that several girls have ap-
plied for membership. The chief is re-
quested to take immediate steps to
break up the club.
Chief Martin believes that the letter
is either the work of a crank or a
practical joker. Investigation of the
records of the morgue show that only
one nrinter has committed suicide in
the last ten years and in this case the
evidence of death at his own hands
was not certain.

WENDLING WHISTLES AND
WAVES HAND At CROWD
Prisoner Reaches Louisville City
Hall UndiSturbed and
with Smiling Face

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 11.-Joseph
Vending, wanted here on the charge
of numbering Alma Kellner, was placed
in the city hall this morning after a
remarkable chase across the continent
and an almost equally remarkable re-
turn in charge of Capt. John P. Carney,
chief Louisville detective.
Vending had no sooner been ush-
cred into the police chiefs room than
he took position in one of the large
windows and began whistling and wav-
ing his hand to the great crowd that
gathered below. His everlasting smile
was much in evidence.
Vending touched Kentucky soil
shortly after o'clock this morning for
the first time in many months. He and
his captor took a train at Evansville,
Ind, about 3 o'clock Handcuffed to-
gether Captain Carney and his man
occupied the drawing room on the
Evansville sleeper The train was an
hour late when it pulled into the Union
depot A large sized but orderly
crowd was kept in bounds by plenty
of police and when Vending was hur-
ried from the car to an automobile
there was no demonstration. 1t has
not yet been announced when Wend-
ling will be presented in police court.
He has already been indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of murder,
States Attorney Joseph Huffaker had
a short talk with Vending in police
headquarters following his arrival. All
the questions asked by Mr. Huffaker
were put in the presence of weddings
attorney. Mr.. Huffaker showed Wend-
ling the bloody shirt, trousers and hat
he is supposed to have worn on the day
Alma Kellner was kidnapped.
To all of the questions asked Wend-
ling refused to answer on the advice of
his counsel.
After thirty minutes in the city hall
Vending was taken to jain again. Mrs.
Vending arrived soon afterward and
was permitted to see the prisoner

the $4,000

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 12.-De-
tective Carney of Louisville, KY. will
not be permitted to enjoy in peace the
$4,000 as his reward for capturing
Joseph Vending, alias Henri Jacque-
min, the Louisville church janitor ac-
cused of having murdered Syear-old
Alma Kellner.
Joseph Krimmer Of this city has just
filed a claim of $35O0 for his services

a postal in his possession that led to
the hiding place of the fugitive,
Vending was traced to San An
tonic by Detective Carney early in
June. 1t developed the man wanted
had been working on a ranch near the
city, but had made his escape few
days prior to the arrival of the Of
ficer. Mr.. Krimmer, the manager Of
the ranch, had in the meantime inter
cepted a postal from Mrs. Cora Muena
of Hume, Mo, and intended for Wend-
ling. This was shown to Detective
Carney by Mr.. Krimmer who also
claims he advised the officer to keep
in touch with the woman, that appear
ing to him as the only source from
which further information about the
whereabouts of Vending could be
gathered. This the detective did, with
the result that ultimately he arrested
the fugitive at San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The civil
service commission has decided to To-
calige as far as practicable all ap-
pointments outside of Washington in
the engineer and ordnance branches OF
the army, and to place the certiticatlon
of such employees directly in the hands
of the district secretaries of the com
mission instead of exercising this func-
ton from the headquarters of the COM
mission in washington.
This is said to be in pursuance OF
a general policy which the commission
is following in several branches of
the government service and which Will
be extended to all cases where practl-
cable and where it meets with the ap-
proVal of the heads of the executive
departments.
The plan contemplates the procur-
ing of local talent wherever possible
for employment in the government SER
vice. This does not apply to positions
in the departments at Washington,
however, where the law of apportion-
ment obtains.
By permitting the district secretaries
to make the certifications it is said the

pedited The country is divided into
twelve districts, each in charge of a
secretary of the commission. These

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Another day
has passed and Mayor Gaynor, shot in
the neck on Tuesday by James J. CAL
lagher, shows no symptoms of blood
poisoning. He continues to rest well at
intervals, to take nourishment when
desired, and if the bulletins issued by
the surgeons disguise nothing, his con-
dition is favorable toward ultimate re-
covery.
The bugbear of septicaemia is not
passed, however nor is the possibility
that an artery or a blood vessel has
been scraped by the bullet With these
possibilities ever present, he still is in
the danger zone, and will be for more
than a week.
All heads of city departments called
at the hospital today, but only feW
were allowed to see the patient, and
then for a fleeting visit only Inc
callers chatted with Mrs Gaynor in
an ante room and none in the party
expressed an thing but hopeful view.
one of the most cheerful statements
of the day came from the mayors son
Rufus. who said this afternoon:
Barring accidents, Mayor Gaynor'
recovery is practically assured"
Robert Adamson the mayors secre-
tary. explaining what barring accl-
dent meant, referred to the possloll-
ity that an artery had been injured
and might begin to slough off at any
time. Concerning an operation, MI
Adamson said: .
.trhey won't operate unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. If the presence OF
the bullet causes any lrrlSatlon OF
nroves troublesome it will be taken out,
otherwise it will remain until the
mayor is completely recovered, or per-
haps never be removed"
The first words uttered by James j.
Gallagher, the mayors assailant, when
he awoke in his cell in Jersey City this
morning, were:
How is Mayor Gaynor"
HE is said to be getting along
nicely" the warden replied, ana Gal
Iagher went on: well, am glad he is
recovering. am sorry for my act

BE WALSH'S SISTER DEAD

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12.--In the funeral
of Mrs. Mary A. Shafus this morning a

DRAUGHON'S PRACTICAL BUSI.
NESS COLLEGE FOR BATON
ROUGE WILL OPEN ON
AUGUST 9Th.

Through the efforts of the Board
of Trade, another enterprise has
been secured for this city; and this
is only another evidene of the good
that can be accomplished by live
business organization in city which
has as many advantages as Baton
Rouge
Every one who is familiar with
the success of Prof. Draughon's col
leges is sure that the Baton Rouge
college will be of great benefit to the
young men and women of this sec
ton, as the courses of study are up
to-date in every respect. The teach
ers are specialists in their respective
departments, and the equipment will
include everything in, modern, up
to-date business office-such as
banking and wholesale fixtures, null
tigraph, Burroughs adding and list
ing machine, cabinet letter files, card
index systems, etc. In addition to
the regular course, students are
taught to operate and use all these,
and have the benefit of actual bus
mess practice; nence, when they are
ready for position, they command a
much better salary than students
who do not have the advantage of
such modern office appliances.
The first forty scholarships in
Draughon's Baton Rouge college will
be sold at a special price, SO it will
be well for you to write at once for
catalogue and full information as to
courses, cost of same, guaranteeing
positions etc Address
