GAINS SENATOR'S
FOR PEACE TREATY
President Taft Can Count on Senator
Sutherland of Utah and Senator
McCumber.

Washington, Nov SENATOR George
Sutherland OF Utah, a member of the
committee on foreign relations, yester.
day came out emphatically in favor OF
the unamended treaties of general ar.
bitration with Great Britain aud France
Mr.. Sutherlands friends have long
known his sympathies were with the
president in the matter, but he was
away from Washington when the com.
mittee made its report emasculating the
treaties by cutting out their most i'm.
portant sections.
Senator MeCumber another member
of the committee, was also absent, and
he has since come out in support OF
the presidents contention for the UNI
amended treaties. 1t is thought that
the popular support accorded Mr. Taft
in his fight for arbitration is gradually
doing its work, and It is expected that
he viii find more support in the Sen
ate this winter when he renews his fight
than he could muster last summer

MCCREA SEES NO lNDI-
CATION OF HARD TIMES
Pennsylvania Railroad President Declares
the Whole Country Is
Prosperous.

New York, Nov. 7-"This talk OF in
dustrial depression, of general business
slump. of hard times, is all mistake"
saws James McCrea, president OF the
Pennsylvania railroad.
"This country is prosperous, and while
there has been shrinkage in some quar-
ters, those who are predicting hard times
10 not know the general conditions
which obtain throughout the whole land.
"The Pennsylvania recognizes that the
volume of business in 1911 was not as
large as that of 1910. There is line
of demarcation running between the ag-
ricultural and building material roads
of the West that is, beyond Chicago
md the mining and manufacturing roads
IN the East.
Lumber is a big factor in transporta-
tion in the West, where building pro-
reeds apace, while now in the East there
Is comparative sluggshness. But in the
South the cotton crop is enormous, and
In the Northwest the crops are bountiful.
In fact, in all the country, farm prod
nets. while not prodigious, are fair.
"There cannot be said to be hard times
anywhere. There is only slackness OF
business in some regions. Probably there
will not be substantial improvement in
these regions until after the presidential
election

Washington, Nov. 7.-Holding the re-

bucketing and the conduct Of bucket.
shops in the District of Columbia to be
constitutional, the district court of APP
peals yesterday, in an opinion by Justice
Robb, reversed the decision OF Justice
Wright of the district supreme court
and remanded for trial the case of Louis
and Angelo Celia of st, Louis, Samuel
w Adler of New York and others,
charged with conspiring to conduct a
bueketshop in the district. The appel
late court sustained the claim of the
department of justice that the lower
court was in error when it held that the
word contract quoted in the statute
was so broad as to make the legisla-
ton violate the constitution in attempt
ing to prohibit "all agreements, trades
and contracts" The case grew out of a
wholesale raid on bucketshops in seven
cities of the union April 2, 1910.

TURKS APPEAL TO AMERICA.
"Italian Barbarities" Made Subject of
Official Statement to Government.

Washington, Nov. THE so-called
italian barbarities" in Tripoli have been
brought officially TO the attention of the
American government in such form that
some declaration Of the position of the
state department in the matter is now
expected. The subject was first preached
in verbal statement by the Turkish
ambassador to Acting Secretary Adee,
and later in the day it came up in a
letter In each case the ambassador,
who said he was acting by express in
structions cabled by his government,
described the acts attributed to the Ital-
ian troops and protested in the name
of humanity against the atrocities com
mitted by them upon helpless women
and children and non-combatants. By
order of his government the ambassador
appealed to the United States to exert
itself to put stop to the practices
which, he declared, were in plain viola
tion of the rules of warfare and in
contravention of The Hague convention
to which the United States and Italy
are parties. Acting Secretary Adee
promised to submit the protest to Sec
rotary Knox, who at present is alb
sent from Washington.

CHESTER ORDERED TO TRIPoLI.
Commander Becker Receives a Wireless
Message at Malta.

Malta. Nov. "A wireless message re-
ceiyed by her commander, Benton G.
Becker, yesterday, ordered the American
cruiser Chester to proceed to Tripoli
forthwith.
Washington, Nov. Under orders
from the state department, transmitted
through the navy department, the Ches-
ter, which had been lying at Malta for
some time, sailed yesterday morning for
Tripoli. The officials here refused TO
explain her mission, but it is believed
that the purpose is to ascertain at first
hand the truth respecting the charges
that the Italian troops have perpetrat-
ed barbarities upon the Turks and
Arabs. Technically the port of Tripoli
is under a blockade duly proclaimed by
the Italian government and under the
rules of war the Chester can only en-
ter the harbor and make a landing with
the consent of the Italian officer in
command of the port. It Is not known
whether this permission win be granted.

MAINE STILL

Governor Accepts Revised Fig

GIVE 750 AGAINST REPEAL
Official Figures After the Recent Elec-

Corrections Now Allowed

GIVE 758 AGAINST REPEAL

Augusta, Me, Nov THE Official
figures after the recent election showed
q majority of 20 for repeal of the pro
Ihibtory amendment, but four town
clerks claimed their figures were re-
versed.
By the governors acceptance OF the re-
Vised figures last night, Maine retains
constitutional prohibition by 1853 votes.
After the acceptance of the report,
Governor Plasted said:
"There are strong reasons why the
legislature ought to assemble before an
other general election is held, Our laws
relating to the conduct Of elections need
revision. The irregularities connected
with the last election are nothing short
of scandalous. While there is no doubt
that similar Irregularities have occurred
in past elections, the public attention
was not called TO them because the ma
iorities on the one side or the other were
50 decisive that a few hundred votes
made no difference. A close election
has revealed weaknesses in our election
laws.

ter of the regulation Of the liquor traf-
fie in an even worse position than it
was before the election, ii such thing
was possible.
"An analysis Of the vote shows an
overwhelming majority against prohibi-
tion in the cities and large but great
Nv reduced majority for prohibition in
the towns. There is no question about
the desire of the country towns to re-
tain prohibition. There is no question
about the desire of the cities to en-
heavor to improve conditions by adopt
ing some other method in dealing with
the liquor traffic.
IAN amendment to the constitution
should be submitted TO the people, to
be voted upon next September, under
The terms Of which cities should have
the right to invoke and enact local leg
islation within their limits"
Governor Plaisted indicated that the
special session would be held in Febru-
AIRY.

Formalities Of Madero's Inauguration
Far from Elaborate.

Mexico City, Nov. 7.-Formalities con-
nected with Francisco |. Maderos inau-
guration as president yesterday were
simple and brief The city was deco
rated, but the program of the day called
for no festivities and no ceremonies, ex-
cept those provided by law and custom.
Madero took the oath in the chamber
of deputies before joint meeting OF
both houses of Congress, the oath being
administered by the president Of the

HEAR EXPERTS ON THE
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
Recommendation of Congressional Com
mission Were Discussed at
Washington.

Washington, Nov 7.--Railroad officials
and labor union and civic federation
representatives, at hearing yesterday
before the congressional joint commits
sion on employers liability and work
mems compensation, contributed sym
postum of views on recommendations the
commission has drafted for immediate
legislation. Counsel for the Baltimore
& Ohio, Norfolk & Western, Southern
and other roads, President Gompers and
other officers OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, Mrs. Gertrude Beeks Of
the New York Civic federation, were
present. Senator Sutherland of Utah,
as chairman OF the commission, presid-
ed and explained what the commission
has drafted.
DIR. Chancey r. Burr Of Portland. Ne,
the first witness in a scientific presen-
tation of the factor that determines
the value of workmens services, con
tended that all provision against loss
should depend on the individual en-
ploye's technical and competing ability.
Bolstered by a carefully worked out
table, DIR. Burr figured out just what
a workmans economic value is at differ
ent ages. At 20 a man working for
81 day has total economic value
OF $6230; at so he is worth 1880,
and at 10 only $4,000 He said 60 per
cent. of the earning capacity was about
the average insurance paid in European
countries. 1t was easy to reach cor
rect conclusions in case Of death or
permanent disability, but not so easy
in the case of temporary or partial dis
ability. He said that the extent Of
the impairment of the laboreris earning
power would be an equitable basis Of
adjustment Of the liability. He advo.
Gated payment of full compensation to
persons totally and permanently dis
abled instead OF go per cent, as pro-
yided by the bill introduced by Rep
resentative SABBATH Of Illinois, and he
recommended increases over the com
pensation for partial impairment provid-
ed in that measure.

tice Wright that an attempt to bride
a person holding an official position is
a crime, even if the person does not

overruled in the lower court. From this
he noted an appeal which was yester-
day denied.

CIDER VINEGAR FROM APPLES.
DR.. Wiley Explains How It May Be
Made and Labeled.

Rochester, n. Y, Nov. 7.--Dr. II. w.
Wiley, chairman of the board of food
and drug inspection, Washington, has
written to local manufacturers, giving
the decision of the board as to what
is cider vinegar. He says that the board
agrees that there is no objection to re-
pressing apple pomace as many times
as desired, without addition of water,
so long as that pomace does not become
heated or decomposed. "The board has
also reached the conclusion says DR..
Wiley, "that vinegar made from dried
apples, chops, skins and cores is not
entitled to be called cider vinegar, but
must be labeled in some manner to
plainly show its source; that where
water is added to cider vinegar the label
must show this fact"

The Tour Of A Smile.

My papa smiled this morning when
He came down stairs, you see,
At mamma: and when he smiled
then
She turned and smiled at me;
And when she smiled at me, l
went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen and she lent
1t to the hired man.
So then he smiled at some one whom
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had twinkles in his eye,
So he went to his office then
And smiled right at his clerk,
Who put some more ink on the pen
And smiled back from his work.
So when his clerk went home he
smiled
Right at his wife. and she
Smiled over at their little child
AS happy as could be;
And then their little child she took
The smile TO school, and when
She smiled at teacher from her book
Teacher smiled back again.
And then the teacher passed on one
To little James Mcbride,
Who couldn't get his lesson done
No matter how he tried;
And Jamesy took it home and told
How teacher smiled at him
When he was tired, and didn't sco!d
But said, Don't worry, Jim."
And when l happened to be there
That very night at play,
His mother mad a smile to spare
Which came across my way;
And then l took it after a while
Back home and mamma said:
