GOSSIP FROM
 NATIONS CAPITAL Secretary Knox Will Retire From Cabinet Since "Lit- tie Brown Brother"
 Died. DICKINSON SHOOTS
Surprised Friends at Rifle Range Youthful Spencer Called to
 Washington.
International News Special

Washington, Dec. 3.-The early re- tirement from President Taft's cab inet of Secretary of State Knox is the prediction of state department wise acres. They base their guess ou the sudden, and untimely death Of Henry NJ. Hoyt, counsellor of the de- partment. Counsellor Hoyt was the little brown brother" of Secretary Knox and while his name did not or ten appear in the newspapers it was he who performed much of the ardu- ous duties that confront Secretary of State.
 In a sense, Counsellor Hoyt was T protege of Secretary Knox, who made him an Assistant Attorney General when member of President Roose- velt's cabinet as Attorney General Later, Secretary Knox. had MT. Hoyt named as Solicitor General of the United States, an office calling for rare ability.
 When President Taft was organlz- ing his cabinet, Secretary Knox ac- cepted the portfolio on condition that he be given an opportunity to find place for MT. Hoyt. This suggestion was readily accepted by President

the:r work in teaching the army how to shoot. The officers took up rifles and in five or six attempts managed to make "a bulls eye at a thousand yards. Secretary Dickinson looked on and when the show was over said: Let me have one of those guns"
 Accommodated, he made five quick shots, hitting the bulls eye three times. The officers nearly collapsed, and are now mum when rifle prac- tice especially sharpshooting is un- der discussion and Secretary D:ckin- son is present.
 Back in Tennessee mountains the Secretary of War has for years en- joyed the reputat on of being crack shot.
 Spencer Looked To.
 It is expected in the State Depart ment that Willing Spencer will be of great aid to Huntington Wilson, as- sistant secretary of state, during the negotiations to come this winter for various foreign loans in which Am erican bankers have an interest
 MT. Spencer has been second sec retary of the embassy at London and at St. Petersburg, where he display ed considerable ability in negotia- tions for the Chinese loan of $5O,- 900 900. The United States govern ment is now doing its best to obtain for American bankers chance tc negotiate the Turkish loan, the ', amount of which has not been settled
 MT. Huntington Wilson Assistant of State has just returned to this country after a special mission te Turkey. ostensibly to congratulate the new ruler upon his accession to the throne. It is we'll understood ii State Department circles, however that Mir. Wilson's principal mission to Turkey was to present the views of the American government as to tho distribution of the loan.
 Simultaneously with the announce ment of Mir. Wilson's mission to Tur key came the order for MT. Willins Spencer to report for duty at thu State Department. It is believed il Washington and New York that Mir ! Spannor nOtw;thStandinp his com parative youth, will be of much ser

 You remind me- said Secretary Adee, of the scientists who referred their dispute, as to the proper des- cription of the crab, to famed nat uralist The naturalist listened to the description and when it was con- cluded exclaimed: Marvellous! But the crab is not a fish; it is not read; and it does not swim backward. All of whichwere points made in the scientific description.
 Bathed the Wrong Man
 With the return of Secretary of War Dickinson and General Clarence Edwards, chief of the Bureau of In- sular affairs from their Phillipine inspection trip, the true story of why they took bath in their clothing while bound across the Pacific, has come to light Rigged upon the deck of the vessel was a canvas tank, twenty feet square and eight feet deep. It was filled with salt water and the passengers in suitable bathing attire, were taking plunges. Secretary Dickinson and General Ed wards were looking on A passen- ger turned to General Edwards and said:
 .Ill bet you $25 you won't go in with your clothing on."
 Make that $50" interrupted Secretary Dickinson "and l also will go intoo.'
 The bet was on, and an instant lat CT both the Secretary of War and General Edwards had plunged into the tank.
 They crawled out, wr'nging wet collected their wager and then threw the unsuccessful better into the tank.
 But again they had to go into the tank because the "unlucky one' coule not swim, and they had to drag hin out to save him from drowning.
 Dickinson Can Shoot

Taft, who was a college mate of MT. Hoyt, and admired his ability as lawyer. The office of Counsellor for the State Department was created by Congress, salary of $7,500 per annum being allotted which is far in excess of the salaries pad the three assistant secretaries in the Depart ment of the state.
 It is said, by those intimately ac- quainted with the late counsellor. that devotion to duty was his undo ing. He worked early and late. The gigantic task that confronted the Sec retary of State in arranging maxi mum and minimum tariff conventions with various countries of the world. immediately after the enactment Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law fell up- on Counsellor Hoyt. At the time of his death he was in charge of the negotiations that had just been start ed with the Canadian government looking to a reciprocity agreement.
 SecY7tary Knox, as we'll as Presi- dent Taft was deeply grieved at MT. Hoyt's death. On the day of the funeral. which was held at Wilkes barre, Pa., the Hoyt home, memorial services were held at St Johns church here. The State Department as a mark of respect, was closed for two hours during the services. Not only did official Washington attend but the diplomatic corps was pres ent. Mrs. Taft, who reflected the deep sentiments for the Counsellor by the Pres;den accompanied by her daughter, Miss Helen. walked from the White Mouse to the church in g rainstorm, to attend.
 It is said that the duty of conduct ing the Canadian tariff negotiations when the Dominion officials come here in January, will be taken up hy Secretary Knox in person. Rumol has it that as soon as these negotia tions are ended Secretary Knox vii retire.

Christmas tree treat for the poor chill
dren of the city will be held at the
City Hall this year. The work of ar
ranging for this affair, in years past
fell mostly to the late Police Matron
Ellen G. Wogan, and there now ap-
pears to be nobody to take her place.
She knew all the poor of the city and
they knew her, consequently she was
well acquainted with their wants and
it came easy to her to properly pro-
vide them with what they needed.
No definite arrangements have yet
been made but it is thought that the
police will raise a fund, probably by
holding tag day. and use the money
thus obtained by giving orders on the
different merchants in the city to the
poor and needy In that way the latter
could get what they wanted them
selves. This would eliminate most OF
the laborious work attached to ar
ranging for celebration such as has
been held on Christmas day during the

THE HIRED MAN PROBLEM.


On 200 acre farm which the writer
visited the other day the proprietor ex-
planned a pile of a couple Of hundred
tons Of manure in the pasture near the
barn by saying that it was simply i'm
possible to get the help necessary to
do the work connected with his large
dairy and at the same time to do the
other work, including the spreading df
the manure as It accumulated He had
offered fellows from town S1.5O a day
and board, but they had Jumped the
Job" after day or two. notwithstand-
ing the fact that they were riding the
manure spreader a good share of the
time. The predicament in which this
man found himself is not peculiar to
the locality in which be lives. This
hired man" problem is one that
touches vitality every man who has
more work to do than can be handled
by the members of his own family. It
is true equally OF the general farmer,
the dairyman. the big grain farmer
and Of the fruit grower. Bad as the
situation is, there seems no prospect
that 1t is going to improve. In spite Of
the fact that the tide of foreign irnmi-
grafton is sweeping into the country at
the rate Of close to a million a year.
there is still the greatest dearth Of
help. AS a people we are multiplying
tasks at pace far outstripping the in
crease of hands to perform them. The
time would seem to be near at hand
when a readjustment was Inevitable.
Il will mean first OF all a division OF
farm and orchard areas to a point
where they can be handled by the
owner with a minimum OF outside
help; a substitution of machinery in
place OF hand labor IN all work where
at all feasible; a definite Arrangement
OF work so that a fellow will be the
victim Of "labor'' circumstances in the
smallest degree possible The theorist
holds out hope from transfer OF
thousands Of folk from the congested
city districts to rural communities
where conditions Of life are both fnan-
cially. socially and morally more
wholesome. but except in the case Of
foreigners used to agricultural labor
this class has not proved at all salts
factory. These are some Of the general
aspects OF the problem. Individually
It is one that Is minimized or aggra-
vated In any particular case by the
kind OF treatment which an employer
accords his help whether stingy. small
and fault finding or liberal. genial and
appreciative. Perhaps some OF the most
perplexing phases OF the problem de
pend upon the conditions just named.
Everything considered. this help prob
lem Is one Of the biggest which is up
for settlement. and it is clear that
ot Of thought will have to be devoted
10 even a partial solution.
