Lea Sees Two More Dark
Horses for Nomination

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. Ex-senator
Luke Lea says that unless sentiment
erystallizes on Underwood, Wilson,
Clark, or Harmon, before the Demo
cratic national convention Governor
Marshall Of Indiana, or Governor Burk OF
North Dakota, will be 'dard horses"
'The tariff, trusts and revision of the
present currency system will be the
issues in the Presidential campaign
said the Senator. Il believe Mr.. Taft
will be nominated by the Republicans, u
he continued. land that he will be de-
feated by the Democratic nominee"
Senator Lea is unalterably opposed to
the Sherwood pension bill, which he
characterized as an "unwarranted ap-
preparation" He says it will come to
vote In the Senate in the next thirty
days. He says that as result Of the
abrogation of the old Russian treaty by
the United States, new treaty will
be signed within a year and that the
demands of the United States regard
ing passports will be recognized.
He says the most important thing in
Washington recently was the Presi-
dents declaration in favor of the Al
drich monetary plan and that as re-
suit Of this step another decisive issue
is made between Republicans and Dem
ocrats.

WAR OVER TARIFF
SOON WILL BEGIN
At THE CAPITOL
Storm Clouds, Long Since
Gathering, Will Lower
in Short Time.

War clouds. which have been gather
ing over the tariff since the last ses-
sion OF Congress. have been more
oninous since the report Of the tariff
board was made public.
Weeks ago the tip went around that
the report Of the tariff board would be
such that the wool manufacturers would
not feel any alarm over 1t. Since the
report came out, men In Congress who
make 1t their business to see that the
wool manufacturers do not suffer have
indorsed the report. Senator Warren,
who Is a big sheep man in Wyoming, in
dorsed the report, but now comes Secre-
tary s. w. Mcclure. of the National
Wool Growers Association, and makes
II known that the organization will fight
Ior higher rates on raw wool than those
proposed by the tariff board.
The most significant DEVELOPMENT of
the situation is the fact that President
tart and the high tariff men in Con-
gress have FASTENED to seize on the
rehabilitating their political fortunes
and strengthening the Republican
party. They hope to do this Through
the Dill dealing with wool duties which
VIII be prepared by the Republican
Committee.
1t is their plan to let the Democrats
reject the bill and then go to the coun-
try and ask Endorsement for tariff legis-
lation OF the sort they propose.
Just us in 1902. It is the plan of these
nigh iarin Republicans to enlist Presi-
dent Taft and have him march along
with them. The President already has
indie ated his willingness.
1T Is held to be impossible for men
IKE Ealzell OF Pennsylvania and Norris
Of Nebraska to travel together on tariff,
Just as 1t is for Penrose OF PennsyI-
Henia or SmOot of Utah and La Fol-
lette to travel together in the Senate.
ID widely talked that TIE high tariff
leaders in Congress are planning on n
bill which will seem to reduce duties
but will avoid lowering prices CT wool

Making Plans for
La Toilette Speeches

TOLEDO. Ohio. Dec. 24.-John d.
Fackler, of Cleveland. progressive Re-
publican leader was here a short time
this morning to complete arrange
ments for the progressive Republican
meeting here December IS to be ad-
dressed by Senator La Toilette.
Realizing that Chairman Walter
Brown and his organization are for
Roosevelt. and that the present Luz
cas- county progressive league Is not
in sympathy with the La Toilette
movement, Fackler decided not to
waste any time with them and COM
pleteiy ignored both organizations
and appointed Thomas Biddle, a local
independent leader to not only have
charge of the La Toilette meeting
here, but to Immediately organize a
new progressive league. which will
be favorable to La Toilette against
Taft for denomination as President
Before the Chicago convention,
Fackler states he purposes carrying
the organization into the Ninth Con-
gressional district and will fight both
Taft and Walter Brown in his home
district for delegates to the Chicago
convention.
Both the present progressive Re-
publican organizations and the Taft
organization forces admit this morn
ing that they had refused to allow
La toilette to speak here under the
auspices of their organizations.

Chinese "Singsong" Girls
Like Japanese Geishas

"Singsong' girls of China are first
cousins to the geishas of Japan. These
young ladies vary in age from sixteen
to thirty and are chosen for their ply
steal and their artistic attra ctiveness.
The "singsong" girls are habited In
coat and trousers OF the finest silk,
satin, or brocade. The former is cut
very much in the style of French
ouvrier's blouse and the latter are
cylindrical, falling to the ankles and dis
closing the finest silk hosiery and the
daintiest embroidered shoes.
At an understood interval one of the
''singsong" girls comes forward to play
an instrumental solo. 1t Is more or
less a fantasia on two notes, the pitch
lying at about K In the treble clef, with
squeaky high excursions. No sheet of
music is unfolded, the Chinese profess
sionl singer being expected to know the
words as well as the music of at least
$40 ballads. There are sure to be solos.
duets and trios, and here the male Or
chestra comes in with fine enthusiasm
in accompanying the singers.
Sometimes there Is a tremendous
racket in the midst of a most pathetic
episode, which prevents you entirely
from gathering the meaning of the song
But custom has sanctioned these out
breaks, which are understood of the
Celestials. though it is certain no West
ern star singer would put up with them
at any price.-Chicago News.

STREET CAR HANGS
FROM EMBANKMENT
OVER DEEP RAY|NE
Thrilling Experience of Four
Passengers and Crew.
Cause of Mishap.

The lives Of four passengers and two
street car employees were imperiled In
Anacostia last night when car No. 4C
of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company left the track on the
southern causeway at the Anacostia
bridge and plunged thirty feet to the
edge Of fifteen-foot embankment,
where the front trucks held and caused
1t to be suspended, with the front por-
ton hanging over the ravine. The car
was bound for the city. The accident
occurred at $50 o'clock.
The car blazed with electricity as II
rushed forward, and as soon as II
halted on the brink Of the chasm the
passengers, who were unable to grasp
what was occurring, ran for the doors
They escaped injury, as did the car
crew. The car was in charge Of o.
w. Melvin, motorman, and Paul JEFF
ferson. conductor.
When the front trucks left the track
the car headed for the viaduct over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks
twenty feet below, but 1t swerved, tax.
ing a diagonal course. 1t tore up the
east pavement, knocked a tree box
forty feet, plowed into the wooden
fence the District had erected to guard
the embankment, knocked it down, and
hung over the ravine. Had it gone a
foot further, 1t would undoubtedly have
dropped to the bottom. The rear trucks
holding to the tracks, aided in pre-.
venting a serious disaster.
b. w, Burdine. who was a witness
says he thinks the front wheels of the
car struck a small stone, causing the
trucks to leave the tracks. Other citi.
zens think there was a depression In
the track on the east side of the
causeway, which was built when the
Anacostia bridge was constructed, and
has wooden fences to prevent. acct.
dents. On either side steep banks
exist.
Traffic was delayed for an hour while
repair crew worked, and another cal
hauled the broken one away. Today
there Is a force OF men at work raising
the track where the accident occurred

Borah Hopeful
For Direct Elections

Senator Borah of Idaho Is optimistic
over the outcome of the controversy
between the two houses of Congress
over the direct elections amendment.
He is hopeful of a compromise soon
after the holidays.
The House Democrats and the Demo-
Gratis generally do not want the Bris-
tow amendment to the measure to
stand. This provides for Federal con-
troll of Senatorial elections. On the
other hand, many Republicans insist
that the right Of Federal control must
not be abandoned.
Senator Borah thinks some conces-
sions may be made on each side so as
to bring about submission to the people
of the proposed amendment.
