Up for Discussion.
FEW INSTITUTIONS AS STARTERS
Judicial Appointments Receive Com

Word for Governor Hughes
for Chief Justice.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, d. c., oct. 2.-(Special)
AT no cabinet meeting within so short
a time have so many subjects been dis
cussed as engaged the attention of Pres-
dent Taft and his ministry at their series
of house parties commenced Monday. All
were there except Secretary of War Dick
inson, who Is yet in the far east, and will
probably not return to Washington until
November.
Largely engaging the attention of the
president and his nearest counselors has
been the effort authorized by law to re-
trench expenditures along the suggestion
made by Senator Aldrch that some hum
dreds of millions of dollars might be saved
the government. The beginning of this re-
form was the appropriation of 100000 to
start an investigation of the business
methods of the departments with a view
to cut down expenditures. A New York
business man, Frederick a. Cleveland, who
has had much experience with large bust
ness and municipal corporations in work OF
this kind has been appointed by the presi.
dent to superntend the adventure.
Also of considerable Importance to the
country at large, two subjects im~~ diately
concerning the Postoffice department were
seriously considered They were Postal
Savings bank system and the advisability
OF putting the third and fourth class post
masters in the classified civil service.
The president and ,is business-like COM
patriots also discussed the situation with
reference to the United States supreme
court. and all had a good word to say for
Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York
as fit for chief justice in place Of the late
Melville w. Fuller.

be the ninth chief justice Of the supreme
court since its organization.

office after Washingtons second term ex'
pired and their tenure of office was com

John Marshall OF Virginia, appointed by
President John Adams. came along for the

been able to serve-thirty-four years. His
predecessors had resigned from the bench
Jay served but six years, Rutledge but one
sitting OF the court his nomination having
been rejected by the senate. and Ellsworth

DIX ON RECORD AGAINST HIM

NEW YORK, oct Especial Telegram)
Leaders Of both the great parties In New
York are planning for what promises to
be the most spectacular campaign seen in
the Empire state since the days of David
b. Hin and Grover Cleveland.
Oyster Bay is the center OF republican
activity and after the return from Roches-
ter the democratic leaders probably will
make New York the campaign headouar-
ters
Two factors in the campaign which are
important and uncertain are these: win
the "Old Guard" forget the wearing out II
got at Saratoga, fall In line behind slim
son and Cole, and work Loyalty for the
ticket? VIII Hearst endorse either Of the
tickets and which, or will he run an indie
pendent ticket?
Upon TIE answer OF these two questions
the result of the campaign depends.
In republican circles II is asserted with
apparent confidence that the "Old Guard"
will work Loyalty for the success Of the
party. 1t is the best opinion among unpre-
judiced observers that while Barnes, Wood
ruff and the other deposed leaders will
not bolt, in fact most of them have said
so, that they will not xiii many snakes
in an effort to fix the hold Of Colonel
Roosevelt on the party machinery.
AS to the course of the Independence
league and Mr.. Hearst, the impression
seems to be that they either will indorse
Stimson or name ticket of their own.
Democratic Candidate Dix bolted the
nomination of Hearst in 1906 and said some
pretty hard things about the candidates
when he did it. Hence. it is not thought
! possible the Independence league leader
will be found heaping Goals of fire on Mr..
! Dixs head.

WOMEN TO WORK FOR BALLOT
Suffrage War to Become Big Feature
in New York Politics.
MRS. MACKAY TO LEAD THE FIGHT
Army of Workers Is to SwOOp Down
Upon Albany and Invoke the
Aid of the Legisln-
ture.

NEW YORK, Oct 2-(Special Telegram.)
With the return of Mrs Clarence II.
Mackay from Europe, the last of the suf-
frage leaders to take up the fall campaign
work, the activities of the 100000 suffrage
war in New York state will soon be inaugu-
rated.
All the organization heads who gave out
their plans want 1t known that money will
be no object this winter in the votes for
women campaign. Realizing the necessity
of sufficient campaign funds to carry out
the large and active p =, ,f&m outlineS, the
suffragists have united tot raise the money
by the big state suffrage fair to be held
early in December, in which all the suf-
frege clubs of the state will take part for
a week. 1t is expected that a substantial
start will be made on the work of financing
the winters campaign.
Suffraglsts are anxiously awaiting the
disclosure of Mrs Mackays plans for the
season, which, those who discussed the pro-
gram with her last spring say, will add just
the right social touch of dignity to the
whole winters campaign work.
One of the Plans.
One of Mrs. Mackay's proposed plans is
to give a series of tableaux in one of the
large theaters which will show the indi-
vidual achievements Of women throughout
this country.
Another plan is to put on the road a
couple of suffrage plays.
Miss Caroline LeXow, secretary of the
Collegiate Suffrage league, who has been
elected field secretary for Mrs. Mackay S
| Equal Franchise society, will begin her
work October 10. Mrs. Mackay's society
! has rented an additional office adjoining
the handsome suite now occupied by the
society in the Metropolitan tower.
Mrs. Mackays society, from a member
| ship of 200 year ago, now has member
ship of 600. The fees have been reduced tc
s. The two newest members are Miss Olga
Nethersole the actress, and Mrs. Stanles
Mortimer of the exclusive four hundred set
Ida TarbeII to Talk.
| Among the many activities of Mrs. Mac
kay's society will be six lectures on suf
frage in Maxine Elliott's theater by wei
known men and women, including Miss Ida
Tarbel
| The seasons program, as announced yes
terday by various organization leaders, pre-
sents sufficient activities to satisfy th'
most ardent suffrage worker.
I'VE are going to have the busiest suf
frage season New York state has eve
known" said Mrs. Harriet stanton Blatch
| Particularly will we turn our attention t,
the legislature after the numerous fal
demonstrations for suffrage are over. Crit
cism was made last winter that we did no
have enough workers at Albany. One o
our best friends in the Legislature told VI
that we should increase our army OF work
ers there. l guess no complaint of lacl
of numbers will be made of the work to b.
done there this year."

Was In Hospital.

NEW YORK, oct. 2.-(Special TelegramD
1t is possible that the international auto
mobile race scheduled for October 15 will
be called off a result of the casualties
at the Vanderbilt cup races. If the Auto
mobile Club of America does not act, the
authorities may withdraw permission for
the race to be held.
While no definite action in the matter
has been taken, the race enthusiasts VINO
gathered at the Garden City hotel after the
cup race were doubtful of the probability
of any grand prize race. The many injuries
and deaths around the circuit, 1t was said,
might cause the board of governors of the
Automobile Club of America to withdraw
their sanction Of the races scheduled for
october 15 even If the Motor Cups Holding
company, wished to conduct the contest
according to arrangements. AS the Auto
mobile Club of America is court of last
resort on international automobile affairs
in this country, the grand prize race could
not be run If the sanction were Withdrawn.
A. L. McMurtries, chairman of the techni-
cal committee of the Automobile Club of
America and one of the last to leave the
course, said tonight he had heard nothing
about the abandonment of the grand prize
race. 1t is the duty of Mr.. McMurtries
committee to examine the cars before they

as he was rounding out the third lap in
the Vanderbilt cup race, Mrs. Stone. a
bride of only few weeks, sat in the grand

to complete the circuit Cheers and shouts

and each one Mrs. Stone scanned eagerly,
! trying TO catch a glimpse of the one whom
above all else she hoped to see drive his
! car to victory and carry off the prize be-
| fore the day closed. He did not come.
| Then she began to make inquiries and was

car, but she was not told of the nature of
the accident until after the race was over.
| AT the close of the race two officials broke
the news to Mrs. Stone and she was in

Mrs. Stone collapsed and was hurried away
in an automobile by two sympathizlng
women.
Stone is a native of Los Angeles. He
