Recently, John Temple Graves who was the Independence leagues candi- date for Vice President in 1908 and who Is new connected with the Hearst newspaper system. announced that the league would support the Demo tic ticket in 1912 if that party Wdsfzd support the leagues princi- plss' and it was then stated that he had received telegram from MT. III tent.
 Wednesday, night. MT. Hearst is sued aforrna1 statement over his own sie1ateres endorsing in high terms the Taft AdminIstratien. crfticizing severely the Roosevelt Administration and warning the people against any renewal of the Ex-President's power. From this, we infer that he believes there is real danger of the Republi- cFl Domination in 1912 being cap tlrad by Roosevelt.
 But the curiosity of the matter is the sudden change Of Mir. Hearst,s ss attitude. He has turned very short cor from a pledge Of supporting zIie pemocratic ticket of 1912 to a virtual endorsement of the Taft can d51aey for renomination.

"K|OS" GET GREAT
XMAS FEAST TO-DAY
Over Four Hundred Poor
Children Made Happy
by Club Women.

Over 400 poor children of the city
were given a Christmas dinner by the
Penny Club today. at the |. o. o. F..
hall. 1t was the twentieth feast given
by the club and is considered the
most successful of any that has yet
been held. The menu consisted of
chicken, dressing. sweet and Irish po-
tatoes, pickles, doughnuts, pie and
cake. The children were all very
hungry.
1t was noticed by women Of the Club
who were serving the dinner that the
children are much better dressed
than last year. This is considered a
result of the work Of the club in
keeping the poor children of the city
clothed well so that they can attend
school. This is the most important
work of the club. The children were
given toys and dolls besides bags of
candy.
The officers of the Penny Club are ::
president, Mrs. Anna Warfel; vice
secretary, Miss Katherine Todd :;
treasurer, Mrs. Clara Thomas; chair
man executive committee, Mrs. Anna
Dowell.
Until this year the feast has been
held in the Pythian Temple, but as
there have been several dances
scheduled there this season, it was
impossible to secure the hall.

MANY BUILDINGS
ARE NOT TAXABLE
In Four Squares on North A
Street There Are Eleven
in That Class.

Real estate representing over hum
dred thousand dollars taxing value
with the true value several times that
amount by reason of the recent i'm
provements, but not taxable because
OF the character of the institutions
which own it, lies in four squares of
North A street. The properties are
those of the ST Mary'sr church con-
gregation and the Young Mems Chris
tian association between Seventh and
Eighth streets; that of St Paufs
Episcopal church congregation on the
northeast corner OF Eighth and North
street. the Federal building on
Ninth and North A, the non-rental

Tenth and North A streets, the church
belonging to the United Presbyterians
on Eleventh and North A streets. and
the church property of the Hicksite

Twelfth streets.
Perhaps there is no other city in
the state where properties of an un-
taxable nature lie within SO close
proximity Of each other Were the
above properties owned by taxable
/ institutions, they would be a great
source of revenue. The reason why
they are exempted from taxation is

TO LIFE
Was Edward Neal, Nearly
Asphyxiated Tuesday.

Almost asphyxiated with artificial
eous heater, was Edward Neal on
Tuesday evening about six o'clock in
the bath room of the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe NJ Brown, in the Knoll
lenberg building, For three hours a
physician and the Browns worked
over him in an effort to restore life.
He finally was restored to conscious
ness.
When the attending physician ar
rived he was not very hopeful of saw
ing the young mans life, and he stat
ed afterwards that the man was in
the worst shape of any one affected
in a similar way he had ever attend
ed.
Mr.. Brown had started to the bath
room and finding the door locked call
ed Neal. He did not reply and after
a hurried investigation, saw him lying
on the floor, by looking through the
keyhole After hurting himself
against the door several times he
broke it down. Neal had been I'M
conscious several minutes, and it was
necessary for Mr.. Brown to push his
tongue down in order that he might
blow into his lungs. He did this
sixty or seventy times before the man
showed evidence of breathing. On
Wednesday young Neal was resting
easily and was on the road to recov-
cry. Neal had gone into the room to
take bath. He had scarcely enter
ed and locked the door until he be-
came unconscious.
