interesting sequel to the United states
marshalship contest when it became
known that President Taft has offered
to appoint George p. Haywood of La

interior to succeed Frank Pierce, who
resigned Saturday.
The salary of~AEst assistant secre-
tary of the Interior is $4,000 year. The
salary of United States marshal is s4,50o
a year.
The President mas indicated that he
would be pleased to have recon-
mendation from Representative Crum-
packer for the vacancy in the Interior

Haywood as suitable man. Mr.. Hay

TELLS OF PATTERSON KILLING
Shot Her Husband in Denver
Death Penalty is Asked.

Denver, Colo.-Evidence tending to
prove that the killing of her husband
by Mrs. Gertrude Patterson on Sep
TENDER 20 was cold-blooded murder
was introduced by the prosecution at
the trial of the slayer.
A. B. Shugert, a carpenter, living
near the scene of the shooting, testi-
fed that he was working about the
yard of his home when he heard two
shots fired in rapid succession. Wit
ness said that he saw Mrs. Patterson
shoot her husband the third time.
after his attention had been attracted
by the first two shots.
In opening the case Prosecutor Ben
son made only short address. He
told the jury the state would prove
the murder was premeditated and I'M
provoked and that the state asked for
a first degree conviction and the ex-
IRENE penalty provided by law.

WENT TO BLOCK CHEERFULLY
of Death, Failed to Win Pardon
by Last Voyage.

Fate and justice worked some pc.
culiar pranks in the olden days. Sir
Walter Raleigh, with the death sen
tence hanging over him for Is years,
failing in his final voyage of discovery,
returned to England and went cheer
fully to the block He left the Tower
without the royal pardon in 1915. The
adventurous but still condemned man
had received permission to make an
other voyage to South America. If he
should be successful in the outcome
of his venture Raleigh knew the
kings mercy would be granted him.
But this last expedition, undertaken
with such a vital interest at stake for
Raleigh, was unfortunate in all it's re-
spects. AT San Tomas, on the Cay
enne river in Guiana his men made
hostile attack upon a Spanish settle
ment. AS England was then at peace
with Spain, this act of war against
the people of a friendly nation was a
most grievous offense against the
king. On October 20, 1913, he suffered
death by the ak. Having fingered the
edge, he returned it and said, smiling
to the sheriff: "This is sharp medi-
cine, but it is sound cure for all dis
cases."

Alfred Tennyson Dickens from far
away Australia plunges Boston fem
ininity into gloom by observing that In
respect to ankles "the beefy sort
greatly outnumber those graceful ap-
pendages that linger SO much longer
in a mans memory" says the Boston
Globe. This is one Of the effects of
the recent rainy weather, and is not
to be taken too seriously. Besides, so
far as our observation goes, the criti-
cism is grossly exaggerated, not to
say unfounded. Mr.. Dickens must
have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his time in the shopping district
where, to be frank, the display of an
kles is very prosaic. Our women who
are stirling to be beautiful Of course
will feel downcast over the unartist1c
picture that Mr.. Dickens frames. Our
ladies are accustomed to reduce their
weight or increase their avoirdupois,
as the case may be, to become more
Venuslike, but nobody yet has ever adj
vertised an ankle-reducing emporium,
nor does it seem possible that such an
establishment could operate to advan-
tage. Probably this Dickens man,
perfect Shylock on fashion, would sug-
gest that a pound of flesh be taken
from each ankle, 80 that it might lin
ger longer in his memory.

JOHN D. IS RIDDEN
ROCKEFELLER AND HIS ALMONER
INVITED TO REFUTE MERRITT
BROTHERS. TESTIMONY.
STEEL HEARING IS HALTED
Duluth Man Tells Stanley Committee
That His Family Was Frozen Out
of Iron Company by Standard Oil
Head.

Washington - The Stanley house
committee investigating the United
States Steel corporation will ask John
D. Rockefeller and Rev. F. D. Gates of
Montclair, N. j., his almoner, to reply
to the charges made before the COM
mittee by the two Duluth (Minn.) men,
Alfred and Leonidas Merritt.
The Merritt brothers charge that
Rockefeller, through Gates as his
agent, took from them in 1893 $1O,OO0,-
900 in Messaba Iron mine and Duluth,
Missabe & Northern Railroad secur1-
ties to satisfy a call loan of $42O,0OO
These securities were afterward sold
to the United States Steel corporation,
and are now part Of that corpora

that he had gone to New York with
$1O,000,000 in securities, had met Mr..
Rockefeller and two months later had
nothing except chance to walk from
New York to Duluth on the ties" the
sion.
Previously Chairman Stanley had
announced that Mr.. Rockefeller would
be subpoenaed. The committee de-
cided, however, merely to ask Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Gates if they
wished to appear and to give them an
opportunity to be heard.
Leonidas Merritt, on the witness
stand, said that he had gone to New
York and had an interview with John
D. Rockefeller relative to the forma-
ton of the Lake Superior Consolidated
Iron Mine company, which the Mer-
ritts were forming to take care of
their mining and railroad interests.
Speaking of the interview, Merritt
said: Rockefeller said he would be
proud to be my partner and hacker.
He also said that he never specialized,
and for that reason would not take
any stock in the consolidation. He
would just keep the bonds in the pro-
posed Lake Superior Consolidated
Iron Mine company that we were or
ganizing." Then the Merritts were
frozen out

How to Use Red Cross Seals.

"How to Use Red Cross Seals" is
the title of an interesting publication
recently issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis.
Red Cross Seals must be placed
only on the back Of letters and not
on the address side of packages that
are going through the mail. They
may be placed anywhere on matter
going by express. Care should he
taken in sending merchandise through
the mails not to place seals over the
strings with which the package is tied.
since this seals the package against
inspection and subjects it to first
class postage rates. AS many seals
may be used on the back OF letter
or package as may be desired. Every
one is urged to use them literally.
since every seal is bullet in the war
against tuberculosis.
Red Cross seals are not good for
postage, and will not carry mail mat
ter, but any kind of mail matter will
carry them. Finally, every letter or par
eel sent out, either by mail or in some
other way, during the holiday sea-
son should bear one or more Red
Cross seals.
