Republican Chairman.
SPECIAL MEETING LIKELY

National Committee Expected to Meet
in Washington Next Month for the
Purpose Of Carrying Out This Plan
Of the Party Leaders, Which Is Also
Said to Have the Hearty Approval
Of President Taft. " -
Washington, Dec. 30.-It is planned
by the leaders of the Republican party,
with the hearty approval of President
Taft, to have special meeting of the
Republican national committee in Jan
uary, at Washington, when in all prob
ability Representative John w. Weeks
of Newton, Mass, will be elected chair
man. Postmaster General Hitchcock.
who tentatively resigned as chairman
in favor of J. F. Hill of Maine, who is
acting chairman, will relinQuish his
connection with the committee alto
gether and devote all his time to the
postofice department.
Mr.. Weeks may not have a unani-
nous election. There is an element in
the committee inclined, it is said, to
favor JAMES A. Hemenway of Indiana:
who was succeeded in the United
States senate by Benjamin F. Shively
Mr.. Hemenway represents the conser-
vatives as against the radicals and is
one of the very closest friends. of
Speaker Cannon. 1t is altogether prob
able that the weight of control will be
thrown in favor of Mr.. Weeks, how.
ever.
Weeks Has Good Record.
Mr.. Weeks is one Of the most sub
stantial members of congress and a
man of affairs. So tactful has: he been
in party affairs and in the house of
representatives that there is little
doubt that he will be elected United
States senator from Massachusetts to
succeed Senator Lodge unless Mr..
Lodge wins the election on the first
two or three ballots. He impressed
the president with his ability when, al
though he did not heartily support the
idea of the postal savings banks bill,
he threw his influence for that meas
ure as one favored by the Republican
national platform and put it through
the house.
Mr.. Weeks is banker, being a
member of the firm of Hornblower &
Weeks of Boston, president of the
Newtonville Trust company of New
ton and vice president of the First
National bank of Boston. He is a
graduate of the naval academy and
served as midshipman. He served in
the Massachusetts naval brigade for
ten years and was lieutenant in the
volunteer navy during the war with
Spain He is fifty years old.

The Best kitefiier Il, Town.

-
Some years ago there died In Ne
a boy, started suspension bridge.
When Walsh was about ten years old
the first steps for the construction, Of
the suspension bridge at Niagara were
taken. The first thing necessary was
the stretching Of a single wire across
the chasm. The engineer in charge
had thought Of way to get it across.
What boy is the best kitef1ier in
town." he asked. -
The Walsh boy was named as the
best kiteflier in the town of Niagara
Falls, and the engineer accordingly
asked that he be brought to him. He
was made to understand that he must
fly his kite across the Niagara river.
He few it across and allowed it to
come down on the other side. Men
were there to seize it. Then the en-
gineer attached a wire to the string
on his side, and the men on the other
side detached the kite and by means
of the string drew the wire across. By
this, in turn, cable was dra wn across,
and the bridge was well begun.--Har
