New York, Nov. S.-With the foot

New York, Nov. Sin glancing back

note the number of records cqualled

how constant and consistent is the

worlds marks that had stood the test

URGE JACKSON TO
DISTRIBUTE PLUMS
New House Officer Denies He
Is Bound by Pledges.

Indianapolis, April 1o-The mail and
telegraph wires between here and Wash
ington have been carrying messages be-
tween Democratic Congressman to in
f1uential Democrats here for two days,
urging them to influence State Chairman
Jackson, if possible, to stand by agree
ments made in his name when he was
elected Sergeant-at-arms of the House Of
Representatives.
1t is said that Jackson proposes to ap-
point his son to one position and his SON.
in-law to another. both of which his sup
porters promised should go to other
States. 1t is said that Ryan, of New
York, Jackson's opponent, was defeated
in the Democratic caucus through these
pledges, and now Jackson denies that any
one was authorized to make such pledges
for him.
The writer's of the letters and kilograms
say that Jacksons refusal to stand by
the promises of his friends will shut In
diana out from everything in the future
and that it will even initiate against
Gov. Marshall for the Presidency.
Whether the pressure on Jackson will
have any effect is very doubtful, but
he is being urged on all sides to give the
places where they were promised.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

You'll see that judicious ad-
vertising is PRACTICAL AND
PROFITABLE"
That is sound doctrine.
And let me add to the above
the following from Mr.. JOHN
WANAMAKER:
II there is one enterprise on
earth that a gutter should leave
severely alone, it is advertising.
To make a success of advertis-
ing, one must be prepared to
STICK like barnacle on boats
bottom.
"ADVERTIS ING DOES
NOT JERK; 1T PULLS. 1t be-
gins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. 1t increases day by
day and year by year, until it ex-
erts an irresistible power"
What's the use of people talk
ing foolishly about advertising?
1T ALWAYS PAYS WHEN
1T IS DONE RIGHT.
Why should not every man
who has something to sell adver-
tise?
And don't forget that advertis-
ing creates market for brains
as we'll as for things to eat and to
wear. ..
Professional men will advertise
some day-just as successful
MERCHANTS do to-day.

Announcement was made last
night at the residence of c. Jones
Rixey, indicted Alexandria, Va,
banker, 900 Sixteenth street north
west, that little hope is held out for
Mr.. Rixey's recovery.
PHYSICIANS CONSULT.
The announcement was made following
a consultation of physicians at the Rixey
home yesterday afternoon. at which Dr.
w. S. Thayer. OF Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore, and DR.. George F. Free
man, OF Washington, were present Mr.
Rixey is suffering from complication OF
diseases. hardening of the liver. hem
orrhages. and softening of the brain. 1t
is not believed he will ever be able to
appear in Alexandria for trial In fact
the announcement last night carried with
it the intimation that Mr.. Rixey cannot
survive more than a few weeks at the
most.
Rixey's bond of $4,000. in a case re-
sulting from the closing of his bank, was
declared forfeited yesterday, when he
failed to appear in court.
Counsel for the president of the Vir-
ginia Safe Deposit and Trust Corpora
ton. which went into the hands of re-
ceivers on December %. 1910. appeared
in the Corporation Cour; of Alexandria,
yesterday. to ask for postponement.
Affidavits of illness were filed and
Judge Louis c. Barley noted default
and issued rule for RiXey's attorneys
to appear on April Il to show cause
why the $4,000 bond should not be for
feited. The court also issued a scire
facias for his detention on the indict-
ments recently returned.
Illness Is Serious.
The affidavits of Rixey's physicians
states that he has been confined to his
bed for the past week, in his home 909
Sixteenth street; that he shows evil
dence of sclerosis of the arteries. has
of the heart. and a slight
paralysis of the left side OF the body
and that the only hope of Improvement
lies in a prolonged rest and freedom
from mental excitement or physical ex-
ertion
DR.. Freeman testified that it would be
very dangerous to remove Rixey.
The court would not allow the bond to
be renewed, as requested by the attor-
neys, but issued rule, returnable April
4, to argue the forfeiture of bond.
A special grand jury returned nine in
dictments against c. J. Rixey last Feb
ruary. The strain resulting from the
losing of the bank and the investiga-
ions since are said to be the cause of
RiXey's breakdown.

IRENE LITTLE HURT
BY STAY ON SAND
Divers to Examine Her Hull:
Captains Status in Doubt.

New York, April 10.-The North German
Lloyd liner Princess Irene was towed to
her dock in Hoboken shortly before Il
CLOCK this morning uninjured by her
eighty hours stay off the Lone Hill Life
Saving Station, except for a broken rud-
der post. Tomorrow divers will examine
her plates and hull, and either tomorrow
or Thursday she will be taken to the
Newport News dry dock
On the way up the harbor from the
lightship. Capt. Letten-Peterssen stood
on the bridge, but the command of the
liner was in the hands of Capt Kun
wick. assistant superintendent of the
North German Lloyd Company. who
spent the afternoon in conference with
the local officials of the line at the
Broadway office. Capt Letten-P Peters
sen retired to his stateroom soon after
noon for rest. The chief officer declared
that the skipper had not slept a wink for
four days and nights.
When the Irene was sighted in tow of
three tugs. all the craft in the harbor
salute' by blowing their whistles, and as
soon as she cached the pier a troop of
husky WreckerS came ashore and the
longshoremen started in to lift out the
remaining cargo
Capt Letten-Peterssen tried in vain
to be jovial: he attempted to crack a
joke by saying that his hair had not
changed color, but as he left the re-
porters, he said in tone of deep regret:
Il have done my duty as best
could
His report is in the hands of the steam
ship company and whether he will go
back to Bremen as a passenger on some
other vessel or take the Princess Irene
across again has not yet been decided.
In spite of the fact that his ship has
not been badly damaged and that no
injury was sustained by any passenger,
II is not believed that he will retain
his command of the Irene or that he
will bring a vessel to this port for the
North German Lloyd Company for some
time.
Berlin. April 10-An official of the
North German Lloyd Line this afternoon
said that Capt. Won Letten-Peterssen.
of the steamship Princess Irene, which
went aground on a sandbar off Fire
Island, n. Y, Thursday, and was re-
hoated Sunday, will be tried by a spe-
cial marine tribunal upon his arrival
The companys attitude toward Capt.
Petersen will depend upon this tribu-
nails verdict.
Capt. Petersen has been with the
Lloyd line many years and has a fine
record. 1t is believed that leniency will
be shown him by the tribunal
