OLD-AGE PENSIONS.

The expected has happened. A bill
for old-age pensions has been intro
duced in the house of representatives.
The introducer is William BauchOp
Wilson of Blossburg, Pa, former coal
miner, former international secretary
of the United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca, who now makes a living for his
ten children on a farm, when he is not
lucky enough to be drawing a repre-
sentative's salary, says Brooklyn
Eagle. Tie provisions of the bill give
s12O a year to each man or woman
over the age of sixty-ive who has
neither property worth $1,000 nor an
income of over s24O year. Modesty
is to be expected of an entering
wedge. But Wilson's measure is too
modest by half This is a rich coun-
try. How can it expect a person over
sixty-five years old to live comfortably
on s12O a year? If the old-age pension
in each case were fixed at, say $4,000
a year, more money would be put in
circulation and anyone would have a
motive for seeking longevity. Nobody
would be silly enough to nurse thrift
or to pursue industry any farther than
would be needed - keep life going till
the age of sixty-five should be reached.
For that matter, why not make the age

Bar Harbor, Maine, July 4.-Chief
Justice Melville w. Fuller of the
United States Supreme Court, died of
heart failure at his summer home.
The death of the chief justice was
entirely unexpected, as he had been in
apparently good health lately, and
there had been no premonitory symp-
tom of any kind of trouble. Yesterday
he attended church as usual, and when
he retired last night he was to all APP

Death came about 6 o'clock this
morning. His daughter. Mrs. Nathan

ROOSEVELT CALLS
ON THE PRESIDENT

Meet at Beverly.
ALL VISITORS ARE BARRED

Is Most Cordial.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft was
at work in his library when the
''honk honk" of the Lodge limou-
sine announced the arrival of Colonel
Roosevelt A smile swept over the
face of the president as he rose and
moved toward the veranda of the
Burgess Point cottage.
They met just outside the door and
simultaneously Taft clapped hand on
the Roosevelt shoulder as Roosevelt
seized the presidents hand in a strong
grip.
MIR. President" exclaimed the one;
and Theodore" cried the other
by George" continued Roosevelt,
this is fine. / am mighty glad to see
you. Mr.. President"
Thus, after a separation OF sixteen
months, Taft and Roosevelt met again,
at the Taft cottage here in Beverly,
With only Senator Lodge and Secretary
Norton present, all the rest of the
world being barred out.
Those who witnessed the meeting
say it was characterized by all the old
time cordiality of relations between
the tvo-that there was the best OF
feeling displayed-and that the hearty
bursts of laughter that proceeded first
from the president and then from
Roosevelt as they sat on the veranda
and chatted for two hours and half
was strongly reminiscent OF the old
White House DAYS
As to the talk between them-it
covered wide range of topics and
there was "a period when the president
and Roosevelt drew aside from the rest
of the party and conversed in low
tones. What was said must remain a
secret, however, between them, for
Taft declined to make any statement
after the colonel had departed and
Roosevelt would say only that he had
had a most delightful time.
This fact did come out, which may
be important in future moves in New
York state, that President Taft is in
full accord with Mr. Roosevelt in the
matter of the Cobb bill for direct pri-
maries. 1t was not known at the time
that the Cobb bill, despite the inter
vention of Roosevelt, had been defeat
ed by the New York assembly, and
Roosevelt had left before that interest
ing piece OF news was received here.
There Is believed to have been an
agreement reached, however. under
which Taft and Roosevelt will act as
unit In New York politics. Roose-
welt did, too. stamp as an absolute
and ridiculous falsehood" the report
that he had contemplated asking
Hughes to run for governor of New

SENATOR JOHN w. DANIEL
IS DEAD IN VIRGINIA
Oldest Democrat in United States Sen
ate Dies After Continued Illness,
of CEREBRAL Hemorrhaqe.

Lynchburg, Va.-Senator John W.
Daniel died here of an attack of par
alysis on the right side, the second at
tack with a few months. There was
a cerebral hemorrhage late in the
day, followed by complete paralysis,
in which condition the senator re-
manned till the end.
This was Senator Daniels third
paralytic stroke. He suffered the first
last fall while in Philadelphia and the
second In Daytona, Fla, during the
winter, having gone to Florida to re-
cuperate. He had not been in Wash
ington for several months. Senator
Daniel was sixty-seven years old.
With Senator Daniel were his wife
and his son, Edward M. Daniel, and
his daughter, Mrs Fred Harper, whose
husband. also here, is Senator Daniels
law partner.
The death of Senator John Warwick
Daniel removes the oldest of the
Democratic senators in point of serv-
ice. OF the entire list he was the only
one who could be said to belong to
the old regime. And, as he was the
Oldest in service, he was one of the
most conspicuous in popular favor.
For the past few years he had re-
manned much in the background. His
health had not been good and his
growing years seemed to tell on him.
New Orleans.-Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery, United States senator from
Louisiana, suddenly expired at his
home here following an attack of
acute indigestion.
The senator arrived here Monday
from Washington. He was seventy
three years old, and death was super
induced by old age.
In all probability Gov. Jared Y.
Sanders will be chosen by the Louis
lana legislature, now in session, as
senator, McEnery's successor. 1t is
thought that the leading figures in
state politics have figured upon the
aged senator's passing for some time,
bat it was not anticipated exactly at
this juncture.

Mob Tries to Rescue Apache at the

Paris.-An attack with revolvers and
bayonet charge on rioters marked
the guillotining at daybreak today of
Liaboeuf, the apache who killed a po-
liceman several days ago.
The Socialists had attempted to get
reprieve for the assassin, but this
failed, and a violent manifestation by
the revolutionary Socialists occurred
at the scene of the execution At the
moment the blade fell several of the
rioters fired revolvers. Then the DO
lice charged repeatedly with bayonets.
A police captain was shot in the throat
and more than eighty persons were
wounded
The Guerre Sociale issued a violent
pamphlet inviting all. workmen So
cialists to meet at the Sante prison,
where the guillotining took place. Pre-
feet Lepine hastily summoned the po-
lice commanders and drew up a plan
to resist any attempted invasion of
the precincts of the prison or the gull

The mosquito season is at hand. and
New Jersey, where the Objectionable
insect most abounds, is moving in the
matter of destroying the pest. Bayonne
is one of the towns in which energetic
and organized action has been taken.
Infested sections are to be oiled and
ditched, and it is believed that by the
methods employed millions of larvae
will be killed and thus grave conse-
quences will be averted. 1t has been
shown that combined and systematic
effort, including the most scientific
means of fighting the evil, can be very
effective, and New Jersey, which has
been a great sufferer from the ravages
of the mosquito, may add vastly to
health and comfort by general war
aimed at exterminating the mos
quito.
