Judue Hook Makes Denial.

Washington, Jan. 13.-United States
Circuit Judge William c. Hook of
Kansas, one of the most prominent
candidates for the supreme court va
cancy, made personal reply to Presi-
dent Taft on charges recently made
against him with the idea of prevent
ing his nomination. Through Senator
Curtis of Kansas, Judge Hook laid
before the president a letter denying
the charge that his son had been an
attorney for the railroads in the Okla
homa two-cent fare case in which
Judge Hook issued an injunction in
favor of the railway. The chief at
torney for the railroads also denied
in letter which reached President
Taft that Judge Hooks son had been
employed as lawyer in the case.

LONDON COAL MEMS HARVEST
Prospect Of Strike in England Fright.

London, Jan. l3.-Coal dealers here
are reaping rich harvest as a Conse-
quenCe OF the ballot OF the coal min.
ers, which unofficial reports state to
be largely in favor OF nationwide
strike for fixed minimum wage. The
dispute Affects about 100000 men
There is no doubt that the requisite
two-thirds Imajority in favor OF
strike has been secured but that fact
does not necessarily" mean that the
strike will occur for the employers
and workers have until the end OF
February to reach settlement and
the prospects OF an agreement being
arrived at are favorable.
The public, however. appears not to
be aware OF this circumstance and or.
ders are pouring in to the coal deal
ers. The result Is that the price OF
coal at the mine head has been raised
so cents ton for the best household
coal, while retail dealers have in.
creased the price TO consumers from
rs to "a cents q ton.

MILLIONAIRE FOR A DAY.
Eccentric Spender Is Tickling New
York to Pieces.

fOTk 10 TleSCSs
New York, Jan. 13.-Bulletins Of
the progress of John Jay McDevitt,
the Wilkesbarre eccentric who deter
mined to be millionaire for at least
one day, reported him at midnight at
Broadway lobster palace with cold
bottles being served frequently to re-
lieve his spending fever.
McDevitt proved himself more of a
real millionaire than expected, for
after his arrival by special train
which had cost him $500 he put on
the brakes and at a fashionable Fifth
avenue hotel was Independent enough
to insist that scrambled eggs would do
for dinner and took the cheapest room
in the house.
The shipping clerk, secretary, boot
black, porter and private physician he
brought with him insisted on more
sumptuous meals, however, and the
check came to $40, to which McDevitt
was riotous enough to add a "a tip.
The party adjourned to theater,
where the millionaire's presence was
announced. One of the spectators
asked him if he had any money to
give away.
"You never heard OF a millionaire
giving away any money" was the tart
rejoinder. New found theatrical
friends took him to a Broadway res
taurant and later to the Friars' club.

SOCIALISTS GAIN IN GERMANY
Results Of the Elections Thus Far In

Berlin, Jan. 13.-At daybreak today,
with returns of yesterdays election
practically complete, it was apparent
that the reballots must be awaited
before the character of the new reich.
stag would be definitely known.
The results, with only forty-seven
districts missing, are as follows:
Socialists-Seats won 62, net gain
of "a; reballots l13.
Conservatives-Seat won 80, a net
loss of 1S; reballots 65.
Centrists-Seats won 50, net loss
of g. reballots 35.
National Liberals-Seats won 4, a
net loss of 13; reballots SO.
Radicals-Seats won 0, net loss Of
12; reballots 81.
The socialists gains, it appears, are
mainly at the expense of the radicals,
who are greatly disappointed at their
showing. They will return to the
reichstag with hardly more than
three-fifths of their former strength.

SAYS EMSLlE'S EYES ARE o. K.
Hank o'Day Rideules Story Of Um-
pire Bob's Failing Sight.

When one desires to make former
Umpire Hank O'Day shake with laugh
ter just mention to him in a casual
way that 1t is said that Bob Emslie's
eyes have gone back on him.
Nothing seems so absurd to the new
manager of the Cincinnati Reds as to
have some one tell him it is time that
the National league was putting Ems
lie on the pension list. as the American
league did Jack Sheridan.
O'Day had him for partner during
two months OF last seasons schedule
and found him as efficient in render
ing decisions on the bases rs any other
man in the league.
81 stopped off ut Toronto on my way
back from the east" said O'Day, "and
found Emslie in fine shape. He was
just after winning gun shoot and
was wearing classy diamond medal.
Il watched him shoot one day, and
he killed forty out OF forty-tve birds
Now, that is some shooting. Then they
say his eyes are bad, Do you know,
/ honestly think his work on the bases
was the best OF the league.
"Whlle we were together there was
less kicking made on his decisions than
on any other man who worked with
me. In fact. there was hardly any.
or course the players yelled, but they
never objected strepuously.
Bob is still high class umpire, and
do not think 1t Is necessary TO put
him on the pension list. When they
say his eyes are bad they do not know
what they are talking about. His eyes
surely cannot be bad when be wins a
shooting match every fall"
