who are expected in Albany today to
attend the inauguration of Governor
elect John A. Dix. interesting develop

States Senatorship are looked for.
Not since the days of the late David

to the national senate and rivalry
among the candidates is keen.
Some time between now and January

both houses will hold caucuses to name
the candidates. The Democrats most
mentioned are William r. Sheehan, Ed

LEXOW IS DEAD.
He Is the Man Who Cleaned Up New
York I'm 1894.

New York, Dec. 31.-ClArence
Lexow, formerly chairman of the sem
ate committee to investigate the city
government of New York, is dead at
his home in Nyack, n. 7. He was
5S years old.
Mr.. LexoW was known the country
over from the committee to which his
name was given. 1t was in 1894 that
Mr.. Lexow, as a member of the New
York legislature, introduced bill to
investigate the police department
methods in New York City. He headed
the Lexow committee. The results
were startling.
For the first time, the public at
large heard of the police system -
The Illicit alliance between officers
high in the department and gamblers,
proprietors of disorderly houses, hotels
and saloons that violated the excise
laws and others was uncovered. The
Rev. Dr. Charles Parkhurst gave tes-
timony that shocked the whole eoun-
try as well as the city.
Inspector Byrnes, at that time per-
haps the best known police officer in
the world, resigned. The whole de-
partment was shaken from top to bot
tom. The excise laws were revised
and "Raines law hotels began to be
known. In fact, the methods ano
much of the material of the Lexow
committee have been fruitfully avail
able ever since for many cities in the
throea of reform.

STUBS COMES BACK. y
TeIegraphs President Ripley That He
"Begs the Question

Governor Stubbs continues his con-
troversy with President Ripley of the
Santa Fe. Commenting on the presi
dents refusal to allow the Stubs ac-
countant to dig at will into the Santa
Fe books, the governor has the fol-
lowing to say in a long telegram to
President Ripley:
Topeka, Kan. Dec. 80, 1910.
Hon. E. P. Ripley, President A. T. &
S. F. Ry. Co, Santa Barbara, Cal.
your telegram makes your situa-
ton more ridiculous than before. The
president of the biggest railroad in
America ought not to be compelled to
hide behind the interstate commerce
commission to keep the public fran
knowing what the Santa Fe records
and books actually show.
You Know and I know that the in
terstate commerce commission system
of bookkeeping does not pretend to
show cost of production nor physical
valuation of railroad property. Your
letters to me discussed these two vital
questions at length. The interstate
commerce commission has repeatedly
asked authority to ascertain the ply
steal valuation of railroads and the
big railroads throughout the country
have fought bitterly and successfully
against such authority being granted.
In discussing this subject In Chicago
in October Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Lane stated "that it would
not be possible for the commission to
determine the cost or value of railroads
by their system of bookkeeping, all of
which makes your last statements. Mr..
Ripley, as president of the Santa Fe,
sound foolish.
Ny accountant employed to examine
your books is SO conscientious that
neither you nor I have money enough
to hire him to make false report Your
own auditor was at his elbow every mo-
tnent that he worked on your books.
He was my chief accountant on work
that involved several million dollars and
rendered excellent service. You beg the
question by attacking him.

a Thing to Wear
To the New Years Reception at

1t Disappeared and Detectives

Declares She Won't Go Without

New York, Dec. 31.-Express COM
pany detectives and policemen are
securing New York today for some
clue to the whereabouts of gown
which Mrs. Nicholas Longworth hopes
to wear at President Taft's New Years
reception at the White House Monday
afternoon
In anticipation of the reception, Mrs.
LongWortlI came to New York some
time ago and had her dressmakers
measure her for gown. The gown
was finished a few days ago and
shipped by express to Mrs. Longworth.
Yesterday the dressmakers received a
telegram from Mrs. Longworth ask
ing why the gown had not arrived
Hurried inquiry of the express com
pany seemed to indicate that it had
been stolen from a wagon during the
holiday rush.
II no trace Of the missing apparel is
found before tonight, the modistes will
put special force of dressmakers at
work in an effort to construct a du-
plicate of the gown in time for the re-
eeption. Mrs. Longworth declares that
she will not attend except in a brand
new gown.

former occasions.
There was a renewal of the trouble

st. Louis, Dec. 31.-Mrs. Anita Cal

The estate as claimed by the heirs
embraces the greater part of Balti-

Sir Cecil Calvert, grandson of Sir
George Calvert, lord of Baltimore and
founder of Maryland, bound over the
large estate to the heirs under a

'The Calvert heirs in Maryland do
not want to recognize any one outside

we know the property is there and we
have the proof which will eventually
regain this estate. Every Calvert heir
will come into his own"
Associations Are Formed.
When Mrs. Beurgeoise first began
the search she did so to satisfy herself
of the truth of the claim. Later she
began the work of forming the Calvert
Heirs association in Missouri Cal
vert heirs in other states formed SINH

According to Mrs. Bourgeoise most of
the leases expired in 1875 when the Cal

because of lack of organization, let the
matter drift.

Washington, Dec. 31.-For the ball
held last night at the White House
in honor of Miss Helen Taft, the East
room was enlarged by the building of
a small wooden house outside one of
the windows for the accommodation
of the marine band orchestra, which
furnished the music. This gave con-
siderable more floor space for dancing.
The musicians house, which looked
like a large woodshed, was on the
roof of the east colorado of the execu-
tive mansion. Several hundred young
people giided about under the mas
sive green festooned chandeliers.
Among the guests were: Miss Louise
