Next President.
TELLSWHAT CONGRESS WILL DO
Much Needed Legislation to Be
Cleaned Up by This Congressional
Session, and Success in EIec-
tions to Follow.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 27.-Expressing
the belief that if the presidential cleo
ton were held today Taft would be
smothered, and venturing the sngges-
ton that whether the same conditions
prevail eight months hence depends in
some measure upon the Republicans
and more largely upon the Democratic
party. and predicting that if the Demo

their success. Democracy will be VIC
torious in 1912, Hon Oscar w Under
wood of Alabama made in an inter
view a forecast of what the present

do.
He foresees: An almost complete
cleanup of the much-mooted tariff
question, including cotton, iron, steel.
sugar and wool; elimination of the
usual public buildings and rivers and
harbors, bills: management of appropri-
atoms so that there will be no de
ficiency at tho end of the session; bust
ness and +, thing else, with no time
wasted in filibustering and meaning.
less talk
AS a result of these things he pre-.
diets a Democratic president in the
White House next year, with the pro-
viso that the Democrats do not get
too sure and foolish" Whether him
self or Harmon or Woodrow Wilson
receive the nomination. the Demo
cratic nominee will be elected, thinks
Mr. Underwood, unless there are Dem.

FoUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Mysterious Death of John Olson At
Burr Oak Will Be Investigated
By Coroner Kizer.

The mysterious death of John Oh
son, who recently fell from Nickel
Plate train near Burr Oak and after
wards was found dead west OF Burr
Oak is to be Investigated further by
the authorities. 1t is now known
that Olson had on his person some
S4OO or $500 which has not been ac-
counted for. 1t is suspected that
some one on the train may have
robbed him and thrown him from tie
car.
A communication to Coroner Kize,,
from the Swedish consul at Chicago
gave the facts about the money and
stated that friends of Olson tried to
get him to buy money, order or
bank draft before starting from
Seattle for the old country, but he
would not listen to their advice. He
said he would carry his own money.
Coroner Kizer now has informa-
ton that some one saw Olson jump
from the train. This information
may lead to some definite facts about
the cause of death. DIR. Kizer will
60 to Hubbard and take the testi-
mony of this witness and also get
what further information he can on
the matter.
Under instructions from the Swed-
ish consul at Chicago, the body of
Olson was buried, the service being
under direction of undertaken W. S.
yesterday of Culver. The two grips
of Olson, sent to Coroner Kizer from
Columbus, o., by the Nickel Plate
railway company, gave no informa-
ton of any value and threw no
light on the case.

SHUSTER'S EXIT
FROM TEHERAN
Matter Now under Discussion
in Washington.
MUST Be CARRIED OUT SAFELY
Russian Troops Expected to Act as
Escort for Treasurer General and
Young Americans Who Have
Been His Assistants.
MUST Be CARRIED OUT SAFELY

Teheran, Dec. 81. w. Morgan
Shuster, the American treasurer gen
eral of Persia, received the notice of
his dismissal in the shape of formal
notification from the government that
the Russian ultimatum, which demand
ed among other things the discharge
of this official, had been accepted. Mr..
Shuster replied that he was willing
to hand over his office to his success
sor as soon as one had been ap-
pointed.
Washington, Dec. 27.-That w. Nor
gan Shuster will leave Teheran with
in a few days is the expectation of of
ficials of the state department.
Discussion of the means by which
the treasurer general of Persia and
the other Americans associated with
him shall make their exit is now go
ing on between Washington and the
American legation in Teheran.
Though the American minister,
Charles W. Russell, is assuming the
department is fully informed of de-
velopments in Teheran through the
news dispatches, according to the de-
partment officials, and they say he is
sending little definite information re-
garding Shuster, the department has
accepted as a fact the report of the
termination of his work for Persia. On
exactly what information this cOnclu.
sion is based is not known 1t is
well understood here that the de-
parture of Mr.. Shuster from Persia
will be welcomed by the department
with a sigh of relief.
The departure of Shuster would dis
pose of the question of his protection
by the United States in Persia as an
American citizen.
Owing to the disordered state of af.
fairs in north Persia an armed escort
will be provided for Mr.. Shuster and
his party. AS Russia has pushed her
troops into that region, that govern
ment will be looked to to provide the
American party with safe conduct
The party will include besides Mr.
Shuster, his wife, two young daugh.
tiers, the dozen or more young Ameri
cans who have been assisting him in
Ibis work for the Persian government
and the wives and children of several
of them. In all the party will number
about twenty.

ten FIGURING MILLS MERGED
CORPORATION TO BE FORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LAW.
Action Necessary to Compete With
Canadian and Northwest
Combines.

Kansas City, Nov. 11.-Preliminary
plans for the formation of a $5,0O0,000
corporation to merge ten of the largest
Touring mills in Kansas were laid here
by six men, representing seven of
the mills. They decided that if the
milling men of Kansas want to make
money, they must merge. Property in
vestments of $3,5O0,O00 were repre-
scented at the meeting. Final plans
for the merger will be completed be-
fore January, 1912.
George H. Hunter of Wellington,
who is the prime mover in the merger,
says the combined Canadian mills and
other merged mills in the Northwest
are making the Kansas miller hurry
for the flour business in the territory
east of Kansas City.
The larger plants, according to Mr..
Hunter, have great advantage be-
cause under one management, they
can make and sell the same grade of
flour to the trade, while the morgan
lied Kansas millers are selling grades
that are not uniform. The result is
that the baker is disappointed in
Kansas flour.
According to Mr.. Hunter, the merger
will reduce the cost of -four to the con-
sumner through saving in cost of
production. Strict compliance to the
antitrust law, as laid down by the de-
cision of the supreme court, will mark
the merger.

Shanghai, Nov. 1.-THE massacre at

here to high pitch and undoubtedly
added to the prestige of the revolution
aries who since the first outbreak have
maintained order and avoided unneces-
sary bloodshed.
The Associated Press is informed by

more perfect and that it will only be
a matter of few days when every
province will be separately organized
and ready to attend national conven-
ton to nominate president.

"Why, them" WI Ting Fang asked
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, doesn't your government rec
ognize us? We are the protectors of
foreign life and property in China.
The government has gone helpless.
We pledge to observe all treaties.

gerents is the best method of stopping
the slaughter"

Slaughter in Marking.
Marking, Nov. 11.-Historic Marking
is the shambles of the Manchu butch
err There is a scene of fire, rapine
desolation and butchery unrecorded in
modern history. 100000 Manchu and
imperial old style soldiers hold Purple
Hill, where they are entrenched, while
from behind their stronghold they are
driving out the city hordes of Chinese
with shrapnel and solid shot. The
latter, numbering between 10000 and
10000, are impotent to check the
slaughter or avenge the slain because
of their lack of ammunition. A ter
rible revenge is promised when the
final battle comes. Foreigners are not
molested. Seventy to one hundred
thousand have fled, leaving all they
possessed behind them. 1t is impos
sible to estimate the number of the
| dead.
