DEPEW STARTS FOR EUROPE
Senator Talks of Taft, Roosevelt
Hughes and the Big Fight.

Chauncey NJ Depew, accompanied by MS
wife. sailed for Liverpool yesterday on
the Cunard liner Lusitania. He had some
thing to say of Theodore Roosevelt, Presl-
dent Taft. Governor Hughes and the JEFF
fries johnson fight.
None of the political changes within the
last two months" he declared, was so re-
markable as the sudden flood OF pubic
favor rolling toward President Taft. Mr..
Taft started out with a big programme
and he has succeeded in getting from Con-
gress all he planned to get. The people
now have full faith in him.
aft would be hard to find a year in an
administration which has been so full OF
results He has taken the railroads out
of politics and has won for the people
the postal savings bank, thing they
wanted and the attainment of which
seemed at first almost hopeless The people
wanted real leader, and they have found
one in President Taft.
The Senator said he thought Mr.. Roose-
Welt had reached the highest rung in the
ladder of human attainment and was the
most popular and best known man in the
world He said Governor Hughes had re-
ceived in his appointment to the Supreme
Court bench the noblest and highest place
of public trust, and that he should remove
whatever Presidential aspirations he might
have. The Senator said if the contest
between Jeffries and Johnson would set
tie the problem of race supremacy it
would be d good thing, but that state leg
sIation should make it the last prize
fight in this country.

the 9th Election District of the 9Th Assem-
bly, District who indicted the
charge of purchasing the votes of several
negroes. William Matthews and James

GOES AFTER SHORT SHEETS
Driscoll Also Says Table Cloths, ETC..
Are Off in Dimensions.

Commissioner Drscoll of the Bureau of
Weights and Measures. has sent word TO
drygoods firms asking them TO have rep
resentatives at his office on Wednesday in
regard to what he says is a somewhat
prevalent custom of selling sheets, pillow
cases. towels and tablecloths which are
stamped as being longer wider than they
actually are
II advised" wrote Commissioner
Driscoll. that in many cases this does not
originate with the wholesalers or the re-
tailers. but with the manufacturers of the
product; but under the law 1t is immaterial
just where it originates. but it is material
where it is discovered -
Commissioner Driscoll says he has a let
ter from a wholesaler to his customers an
nouncing that he is to have lot of sheets
that will be branded 72x90. but are actually
6S inches wide. which will be good for a
sale"

REPLIES TO METHOD|STS
Archbishop ireland Writes on
Roosevelt Incident in Rome.

Responding to the address of the board
of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. issued on May is. Archbishop Ire
land contributes to the forthcoming issue
of The North American Review an ex-
tended article upon the Methodist Episco-
pal Church Of America in Italy reviewing
the statement of the Methodist bishops and
justifying the action of the Vatican in con-
nection with the. proposed audience of Mr.
Roosevelt.
He quotes extensively from the writings
of Methodist missionaries bishops and
newspapers in Italy attacking the Papacy
and sets forth that each visit of a public
man of America to the Methodist College
in Rome has been seized upon by the local
representatives Of the Methodist Church as
an occasion for insulting the Vatican. Re
specting the Roosevelt incident he SAYS:
So far as precedents gave lesson. the
Vatican could not but fear that pressure
might be brought to bear on him to induce
him to lend his favor in whatever degree to
the Institute of Via Veuti Settembre With
the purposes of the institute Mr. Roosevelt
1t was thought. most likely was not con-
versant: So far he had no occasion to run
up against Its ruling spirit, the Rev. Mr..
Triple. The honor of the Vatican was sII-
preme, as it should be, in the mind of the
Cardinal; 1t must at all hazard be safe
guarded; neither must obstacles intervene
that should keep the doors of the Vatican
from being thrown wide open in greeting
to Mr. Roosevelt.
So. in reply TO Mr.. Roosevelt's request for
an audience message was sent, courteous
and confidential, acceding. of course to the
request, vet intimating the unpleasant posi-
ton TO which the Vatican should be re-
duced were there the least peril that what
had happened to Mr. Low and to Mr. Fair
banks were by any miscalculation or over
sight to happen to him The more ilIustrt-
ous the visitor the more was he to be put
on his guard. Unfortunately. the message
of the Vatican reached Mr.. Roosevelt un-
der the cover of comments from the hand
nal and was read in the glare of those
comments. Certainly the situation was per
picking.
The comments OF Mr. Leishman under his
eyes the answer given by Mr.. Roosevelt is
not surprise TO Americans. Subsequent
There were other and yet more embarrass-
ing comments from Mr.. Leishman to Mr.
Roosevelt. and there was the cavalier and
unwarranted declaration of Mr.. O'Laughlin
to the Cardinal that Mr. Roosevelt was lust
the man to go from the Vatican to the
MethOdist hall Circumstances let us saw,
conspired TO defeat an understanding which
was sure to be. had MFR. Roosevelt and the
Cardinal Secretary of State come face to
face or had they spoken to'each other in
direct correspondence without let or him
drance of Intermediates.
However, as things went. the Cardinal
Secretary of State. supremely preoccupied.
as il was his duty TO be. with the necessity
of safeguarding at all hazard the honor of
the Holy See, was allowed no alternative:
the Roosevelt incident, in which, back OF
all the immediate circumstances. the one
controlling element was the American
Methodist Episcopal Church.

NEW FIRE INSURANCE AIM
Association Now Forming to Fix
Commissions in the East.
ITS SUCCESS is DOUBTED
Criticism of Brokerage Charges
Responsible for the Move
ment Under Way.

The criticism of the expense of writing
fire insurance, which has become more or
less general. particularly in the Middle
West has led the fire insurance companies
in the East to attempt the organization of
new association, known as the Fire I'm
derwriters' Association, to regulate com
missions and brokerage.
The second meeting of the fire underwrit-
ers looking toward the perfection of this
organization held yesterday morning.
At a previous meeting, held early in the
month. a constitution and bylaws were
adopted and copies of them were submitted
to the different companies in what Is known
as Eastern Union territory to sign. A num-
Der of important signatures have been OBJ
tanned, it is said
But the Fire Underwriters Association is
by no means out of the woods and some
veteran insurance men are of the opinion
that 1t will never emerge permanently.
One influential insurance man of Pittsburg,
one of the committee of fifteen which has
the formation of the new association in
charge. says he will not have anything to
do with 1t unless the local associations of
the great cities are included. This is the
biggest and toughest nut of the lot to
crack
The New York Fire Insurance Exchange.
the Boston Board of Fire Underwriters and
the Philadelphia Fire Underwriters Asso-
citation are strongly intrenched organiza-
tions and are extremely partial to their
own rules and regulations. The old East
ern Union. which has attempted for twen-
ty-ffve years or more to cover the ground
of this new organization. has never been
able to bring them into the fold Its failure
to do so is one of the principal reasons for
the efforts in behalf of the Fire Underwrit-
erS' Association.
