Washington, Dec. 1S.-There has

the past week following the elevation

great extent on the failureeef Taft to

would leave the latter in a position
where he would be available for ths
Republican presidential nomination
in 1912.

Captain Darby's Victory.
(COnt1nued from Paoe IL

Continued from Page ~
Darby says his American sentiment
got the better Of his feelings, and he
asked the privilege, through his coun-
sci, of shaking each juror by the
hand This, however, was not al
lowed and never is in England. The
jury simply comes into court, hears
the testimony, delivers a verdict and
goes about its business.
Before British court there is never
any forensic display of oratory, the
counsel always speaking in a con-
versational tone, and while there may
be eloquence in this form of speech,
there is no appealing to jury along
lines Of sentiment or emotion, no
playing upon their feelings by high
sounding phrases or other methods
prevailing in American courts.
Captain Darby took over an hour
in summing up his case to the jury,
but says that on the second day Of the
trial he was somewhat discouraged
by the looks of things brought about
by the speeches of the opposing coun-
sci. The case consumed three days,
and it goes without saying that the
counsel for the Americans must have
fought we'll to have attained YER
dict over such distinguished counsel
as Hugo Young, one of England's
greatest lawyers.

Some one could have gone after the

THE CELLULOID ALBUM.
Mas Opinion of It Three Weeks
After Christmas.

Cor "The Palisadian'O
Yes, it is beautiful, just as you say,
In fact, far too handsome for every
day;
Again, much too heavy to hold in my
lap,
And I always have trouble in shutting
the snap,
And for this and for that, all said and
all done,
I'd rather my plain o1d-fashioned one.
My boy brought it home-'twas
dreadful price
But he thought he was getting me
something nice;
And he showed me, and showed me-
how it would go
Up and down, for It's hinged to a
stand, you know;
And for his sake | learned how the
thing was run,
Though I'd rather my plain old-fash-
toned one
Just to please him, put my pictures
in,
Though it seemed to me powerful
like a sin,
To be putting my loved ones away
like tnat,
In a glittering house I couldn't get at;
Still, now, could | say to my loving
son,
That I'd rather my plain old-fash-
toned one?
Yes, I know that It's beautiful, rich
and gay,
With that celluloid stuff Of a shiny
gray,
And that flligree something stuck
here and there
Till it beats everything in sight
round here;
Yet for this, and for that all said and
all done.
I'd rather my plain old-fashioned one.

Both Sides Make Concessions
and Strike Danger Is Over.

All danger of a strike of the trainmen
and conductors on the Erie Railroad ap-
reared to have been eliminated after
conference yesterday among j. c. Stuart.
general manager Of the Erie, and repre-
sentatives of the employees. Another con-
ference will be held to-day.
BY the new proposition the Erie offers
the men an increase in wages of from TO
10 per cent Mr.. Stuart said the Baltimore
&. Ohio schedule, which was the basis OF
the conductors and tralnmen's demands,
was not to go into effect until July l. ISL,
SO far as freight service was concerned, or
Until September 1, 1911 on passenger traff1c
The conference adjourned to meet again
to-day with everybody, apparently, in good
humor 1t was stated that concessions
were made on both sides, though a definite
understanding as to when the Baltimore q
Ohio rate was to go into effect was not
reached. President Garretson of the con-
ductors said last evening that a settle
ment was in sight He added: I'VE are
willing to go as FAR as we can with the
Erie. but it's officials want a longer time
than we are willing to concede for the
Baltimore & Ohio rates to go into effect.
We have to consider that the longer the
date is put forward the more thousands of
dollars the road gains, which our men are
giving up"
On behalf of the Erie representative
said: 1.-The real point is that VIC cannot
nav the Baltimore & Ohio rate until our
gross earnings reach the point where We
are justified in paying it,

APPALACHIAN FAIR GETS RATES
Railroads Liberal with Conservation
Exposition in Knoxville, Tenn.

Sanford H Cohen, assistant to Presi-
dent w. J. Oliver of the Appalachian Elk
position, accompanied by j. B. Criswell,
of Knoxville, Tenn, appeared before the
Southeastern Tariff Association on Thurs
day for the purpose of securing rates for
that event. After making strong talks as
to the aims and objects of the Appalachian
Exposition the lowest rates ever given
TO an exposition were conceded to the
Appalachian from September u to October
q. Mr. Cohen, in speaking yesterday of
the fair, said:
The conservation of the forests and the
protection of the waterways. as well as
the development of the resources of the
Appalachian territory, are attracting great
attention, and the movement started at
Knoxville, covering portions of the states
OF West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama. Tennessee and Kentucky, has
grown into one of the most pretentious
expositions ever inaugurated. The move
ment was started by the wholesale bust
ness men of Knoxville, who DO an annual
business of over 100000. and the bust
ness done in the Appalachian district will
easily reach 100000
The government is making an exhibit
as are most OF the states in the Appalachian
district The cities of St Louis, Baltimore
and Atlanta have already applied for places.
and nearly every Southern city, from Au-
gusta. Ga, to Lynchburg, Va, will be rep
resented. The buildings are said 10 be the
most elaborate and strongest built ever
erected for like purpose. Nature has
made the grounds a place of beauty for
exposition purposes. The dates of the
exposition are from September y TO Octo-
Der u, and the railroads recognize the i'm
portance Of the event by the low rates
that were given at their meeting On
TluTSday.n
