believes in changing around as was

win it and Leachiman rolled against
Drake about three weeks ago. Those
who have held the title this season
are Rittenhouse, Carr. Drake, Bart

Ours for the championship and will
likely roll the games tomorrow night.

Wall St New York Oct. 10.-STOCKS-
Speculative interest in stocks was at
low ebb today and in the absence OF new
influence the market became stagnant.
An attempt to drive in the short interest
which is believed to have become consid-
erably enlarged produced no decided re-
suit and during most of the morning ses-
sion prices were held firmly The market
was unable to absorb the volume OF realz-
ing sales and prices eased off slightly be-
fore noon. Atlantic Coast Lines lost IA
off yesterdays gain and American Beet
Sugar lost about as much. Selected stocks
continued to move Independently Of the
course of the general market.
Bonds were quiet with some or the
Southern issues reflecting the recent rise
in the stocks.
After a brief period of hesitation and re-
ceding prices the market began to rise IN
a more vigorous fashion with a good
demand for Union Pacific, Union Pacific
Reading, Lehigh Valley, Atchison and
United States Steel. None of the gains
in the market leaders expected fractional
limits but there were larger advances In
less active stocks. Cleveland Cincinnati,
chicago and st. Louis rose 21z and Cen
eral Electric and Texas company z
There were no changes of Importance
from yesterdays final prices in the open
ing transactions in stocks today. Var1a-
lions of the active issues were confined to
small fractions aoOut equally divided be-
tween gains and losses Chicago Great
Western gained X and New Haven lost
the same amount
Some selling orders were distributed
After one O'Clock and all of the active
issues gave way from half point to
point below their highest figures Steel

Bliss was 8 years old, having been
born in Fall River, Mass, in 1888
Mrs Bliss, Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Bliss, jr., and Miss L. P. Bliss, a

The death of Cornelius n. Bliss re-
moves from the political field of this
country another of the coterie of Re
publican leaders who have been in the
forefront of the party's affairs for a
generation or more. He was treasurer
of the Republican national committee
from 1892 to 1908 and previous to that
had been chairman of the New York
state Republican committee
With the late Senator Platt. Sena-

can national conventions. He twice
refused to become a candidate for
governor of New York, but following
the national campaign of 1896, in
which William Mckinley was elected
president, he accepted the position of
secretary of the interior in the Nc
kinley cabinet.
He held this post for two years and
then resigned because of stress of pri-

HE DIED AT WHEEL
Aaron Harold Seized With
Heart Failure in Car.
Machine Runs Four Blocks With
Helpless Man.

Aaron Harold, a travelling repre-
sentative of the International Harves-
ter company, who lived at ISL North
Kansas avenue, was seized with heart
failure at the wheel of his automobile
last evening about $50 o'clock and
drifted helpless to his death Occupants
of another motor car and workers at
the Memorial building saw his car
running slowly east on Tenth avenue
after it had passed Harrison street
with it's driver leaning over the wheel
on his right arm and his left arm
thrown back across the seat.
His right foot was on the brake AMI
the power had been partially shut off
His car followed the street car track
and street car motorman changed his
bell for right of way BY the time the
guideless automobile had reached Jack
son street, the other machine was op-
posite and workers from the Memorial
building Sprang to the aid of Harold
but did not know how to stop the car.
As it jOggled across the tracks On
Jackson street Ted Lagerstrom. the
driver Of the second machine, jumped
to the running boards and stopped it.
According to a witness who rode in
the second machine, Harold was not
yet dead when his car was stopped but
gaSped few times and expired. At
tempts TO summon physician were
unsuccessful until DR.. F. J. Ernest was
seen driving past and hailed. He con-

20 miles into the country and did not

he happened to return so early is not

TAFT AT SEATTLE.
President Receives Most Enthusiastic
Reception of His Tour.

Seattle. Wash, Oct. 1O.-President
Taft faced here last night one of the
largest and by far the most enthusi-
astic and responsive audiences he has
met on any of his recent travels. He
was greeted with prolonged cheers and
constantly was interrupted with out
bursts of applause. The president dis
cussed a variety of subjects, including
the relation of government to business,
tariff vetoes and Alaska. He declared
that Alaska should have at least
semi-self governing body. Two years
ago Mr.. Taft advocated here a straight
commission form of government for
the territory.
THAT proposition has not met APP
prevail, said Mr.. Taft last night. IT
still think it the better way, but I am
willing to make a concession for a
partly elective and partly appointive
form of government in Alaska.
Congress can not make the neces-
sary laws for Alaska. Alaska must
have a local body. In bringing this
about I hope there will be no politics
played
