POSTAL BANK BILL WILL PASS.
Lodge and Aldrich Assure President of
Action in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. %
Postal savings bank legislation is as
-sured for this session of Congress. Sen
ator Lodge, who has been opposed to
the postal savings bank idea, visited the
white house and told President Taft that
the bill would be put through the Sen
ate. A similar assurance recently was
given by Senator Aldrich.
From the Senate quick action Is ex-
pected. The only difficulty which is fore
seen is in the House, where the majority
of the committee OH postofices and post
roads is against the postal savings banks.
President Taft proposes to meet this
difficulty by a Republican caucus Of the
House members, which will be held as
soon as the Senate has passed the bill
The President will let it be known that
action upon this legislation is regarded
by him as a test of party fidelity, being
specifically promised by the Chicago
platform.
With the weight of the Presidents i'll
fuence behind it, it is certain the caucus
will favor the bills passage. And, with
the impetus of the caucus action to urge
it on, the unwilling House committee can
do nothing else than report out the Sen
ate bill with favorable recommends
ton.

WANTSLIVE BONDSMEN,
State Treasurer Finds That Some Bank
Bond Signers Have Been
Dead Years.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 25-[ Special
The state of Wisconsin prefers live"
bondsmen for banks, and the board OF
deposits this morning was furnished some
interesting information by State Treas
urer Dahl as to the number of dead
ones that have been discovered. Under
a law passed by the last Legislature
bonds of all banks shall be renewed ey-
cry four years unless the board Of de
posts takes action to extend the bond
Mr. Dahl reported to the board today
that out of thirty-three banks whose
bonds are four years old at this time
some of the signers in sixteen cases are
dead In three cases two bondsmen have
passed away and i'll one case four slgners
have separated themselves from the
bank. Mr.. Dahl will notify all of these
banks that it viii be necessary to furnish
a new bond.
When the present treasurer went into
office he made a quiet investigation that
revealed the fact that some of the bond
signers for fifteen banks had passed to
the great beyond, and yet no new bonds
had been furnished This inspired the
law that was passed at the last session
of the Legislature, and Mr. Dahl may
ask the next Legislature to pass law
compelling banks to make an immediate
report when one of its bondsmen dies.

GARFIELD IN PROTEST.
Former Secretary of Interior Opposes
Bill Submitted by Present Sec
rotary, Mr.. Ballinger.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. %
Former Secretary of the Interior Gar
field today appeared before the Senate
committee mt on pubic lands and opposed
tary, Mr.. Ballinger, authorizing the secre-
tary to withdraw public lands from set
Element, pending recommendation to Con-
grees for legislation in reference to them.
Mr.. Garfield declared that legislation of
this character was not needed as the Pres
ident had authority under existing law to
withdraw public lands believed to con-
tain valuable timber or minerals, or to be
valuable for the development of power.
He took up the position that as this pow
err was vested in the President there was
no good reason for extending the right
to the secretary of the interior.

SHIP SUBSIDY WILL PASS.
Administration Bill Likely to Succeed
in the House.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. %

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %
The administration ship subsidy bill in
troduced by Representative Humphrey
of Washington and now in the commit
tee on merchant marine and fisheries
viii be finally considered there proba-
bly, next Thursday. If Mr. Humphrey
fine it will undoubtedly be passed by
a majority vote of the committee:
Representative Spight of Mississippi,
ranking Democratic member, of that
committee and who has twice led the
anti-ship subsidy force to victory, will
again az present minority report and car
ry the fight to the floor of the House
In the sixtieth Congress ship subsidy
was defeated by three votes, and the
majority against it has been growing
smaller and smaller with each year,
This year no doubt is expressed that
if the measure passes the House, it will
easily be put through the Senate. Pres
ident Taft is strongly urging the legis-
latiOn.

sON A Big STRIKE
Expressmen In New York Re.

Much Turbulence Is Result.

New York, Nov. 1.-TWO thousand
ia sicab drivers struck today in SYM
pathy with the strike of the drivers and
helpers of the express companies which
las practically tied UP express bust
1ess in and through this city for near
y two weeks.
Further spread of the strike to driv-
ers Of all vehicles in the city except
those on food supplies wagons seemed
imminent. 1t was announced that at
a meeting of labor interests to De held
today q date for a general strike that
would tie up practically Everything
on wheels" would be decided upon.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. is in the
city and is participating in the confer
ence of the laborers. 1t was declared
the support of the federation would be
given the strikers.
All peace negotiations between the
express companies and their men have
been suspended.
Attacks of chauffeurs who stuck to
their jobs We're numerous. Twenty
eight machines of one company got i'm
TO the home garage badly crippled.
Some of the smaller companies affected
by the strike made settlements with
their chauffeurs during the forenoon,
and it was estimated that about 900
of the 1000 men who struck this morn
ing had returned to work.
The continued illness of Valentine
Hoffman, vice president of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Transfers,
made it seem doubtful If the joint ex-
ecutive council of the brotherhood
would meet at the expected time to de-
eide on the general strike proposition.

TO ACCEPT 4 HAREN

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, While in Africa, was stung
by the dreaded tse-tse fly, bearer of
the sleeping sickness. according to j.

Roosevelt African expedition. who is
ll~ecturing on the trip.
Mr.. Loring said that the colonel re-
sisted the infection. 1t appeared to
have no effect or his system.
I'VE were attacked he said, by
swarms of the tse-tse fly nea the Lake
Navashi. Every one was bitten. Col
onel Roosevelt was stung many times.
but the flies did not seem to have the
right kind of poison to affect him
Difficulties that Roosevelt had with
his native porters, who at times an
noyed him by worshiping him as a god.
were ~recounted by Mr.. Loring. On
one occasion, he said. a number of the
porters deserted for q day and re-
turned with S5 native women they had
stolen and presented them to the col
onel This. he said, so enraged Roose-
Welt that he discharged the whole band
of abductors.
II discovered that we were supposed
by the natives to be a party of insane
persons" said Mr.. Loring. That was
the general view in certain parts Of
Africa that we passed through. In 9TH
er parts the natives evolved the the
DRY that the colonel me his scientists
were witch doctors and that the ami
mails and reptiles we We're collecting
We're for the purpose of making magic
medicine.
Native men and women would bring
us all sorts of insects and lizards on
the end of sticks. They would PROSTATE
themselves on the ground when Colonel
Roosevelt passed and thump the earth
with their heads. This was worshiping
him as a deity and 1T never failed to
diSgllst him
