TAILOR OBJECTS WHEN
 CALLED BOQTBLACK
Fastidious Stranger Badly Beaten as Result of
 His Mistake

Because bbulously buoyant stranger asked him 10 shine his shoes Tim Mccarthy, an l.ishman oi Lowell. became insulted, and instead. bloodied the strangers head. Just for that he was arrested and haled into the court Of Judge Smith. Of the Lowell precinct.
 The name of the stranger IS not known Bedecked in spring raiment, with "tra-las" simply COzing from him. he strolled down the main street of Lowell He was well satisfied with himself. except his shoes which needed polishing. lie would get a shine. and then the Illusion would be complete.
 Tim Mccarthy. the well known Lowell tailor. was summing in front or his sIUp, smoking his pipe ana pretty well satisfied with himself He sat near a shoe shine stand, bu' he was in no wise connected with the shoe-polishing business. Not Tim Me Carthy. He is a tailor. a creator oi style for men. and IS proud Of it, as all of that profession are.
 lt is usually an easy matter to tell a tailor from a hoothlack, but the strangers vision was befuddled with beverages that Szz and fusticate. The words of the old song:
 T know he was a tailor.
 For he wore a tailor's hat should have warned the stranger, but it didn't.
 The man climbed up into the chair and lordily asked Tim to shine his shoes. That was all that was said The rest was done, and Tim was the star actor in the action. He wal loped the man over the head with the end of a billiard cue. cutting q eash several inches in length. Both men were arrested by Officer Rooney, and fined by Judge Smith, but the sentence was suspended. The strang CT wSs taken to a physicians office for treatment

MAY DELEGATE
 GIVE A PROXY?
Question May Decide Stand ing of the Roosevelt
 Delegates to Tucson
LAWYER SAYS: NO

Another bogey has arisen to keep the Roosevelt delegates 10 the Tue son convention awake at nights. The bogey has the appearance of a qHeS- ton mark and is this: Can a deie gate who has been delegated certain powers and functions delegate those powers or functions 10 aROther2
 The question mark bOgey is not a straw man. moreover; nor is il n scarecrOw set up by the clever eX- ponents of Taft to frighten the less experienced Roosevelt men.
 The bOgey was shown a well known Risbee lawyer who has taken no pat in the Roosevelt fight whatever, and who is absolutely unbiased in his opinion as to the, composition Of the bogey. He said that it was his Opin ion that county central committee men could not delegate their authori- ty to @ proxy. There is Latin phrase that embodies a principle that has been handed down undisputed through the centuries. and the trans latIOn of it is: "A delegate can not delegate his authority. This is a principle Of common law upon which all laws are based
 ~l doubt very seriously" said the attorney. If a proxy of a county central committeeman is legal When he is elected he is presumed to be qualified to perform those duties. and l think that it is not legal or proper for a committeeman to delegate his authority to another whose qualified. ton 10 exercise authority has moi been passed upon.
 Decioed in Maricopa County
 In Maricopa county the county cen tral committee took exactly this stand, but it iS a fact that it exactly suited their purposes. Had the prox ies been allowed, the Taft men would have controlled the committee. and the selection of state convention dele gates, and with the proxies ruled out, the Roosevelt men controlled the committee.
 This constructOIi df course, further muddles the already bilious situation. which has evolved into a bi-cornute dilemma that threatens to gore the Roosevelt faction in this county on either horn. If the conten- ton of the Taft men that the 1908 committee still holds its authority as hold overs" on the construction that the election of 1911 committee men was illegal. Is not upheld at the Tucson convention, they will have another chance to swat the Roosevelt delegation with tine state ment that the Bisbee meeting Of the Roosevelt members Of the central committee at which the Roosevelt delegates was named was illegal be cause there was no quorum. u maiOri- ty constituting a quorum.
 If the stand taken by the Roose- welt committee of Maricopa county. that proxies are illegal. is upheld. thts. there was no quorum Of the commit tee at the Bisbee meeting. as thers were only 3l committeeman present and sixteen proxies.

INCOMES SLATED TO
 BE SECRETARY OF WAR

Washington, Dec. 16.-In a well-in- termed Democratic quarter II was stated that the post of secretary of war in the Wilson cabinet had been offered to w. M McCombs. The in- formant says Mir. McCombs hesitates. not knowing whether his health will stand the strain of official duties
 Further than this, it is said that Mir. Wilson has made up his mind re- garding practically all cabinet posts save those of attorney general and secretary of the treasury.
 According to this information, Rep resentative A. $. Burleson will be secretary of agriculture and Josephus Daniels postmaster general while Henry Morgenthau of New York is thought to stand an excellent chance of appointment as secretary of the treasury, even though Mir. McCombs should also enter the cabinet from New York.
 And of course, Mr. Bryan, as sec. retaxy of state, is included in the slate.

with assets of $2,23S,717 and liabflI- ties of $3,12S,9S3; one savings bank, assets of S40,000. liabilities $2,451,- four trust companies, assets $2,451,- s25, liabilities $4,304,590; and 21 prl yate banks, with assets of $2,976,756 and liabilities of $5,33S,73S.
 The school savings bank system was first established in the United States by the late l. H. Thiry, prin- cipal of the public schools in Long Island City, N. Y, and Mir. Thiry is known as the author of thrift teach
 ing in our public schools. Since the first school savings bank was estab-
 ished in 1885, hundreds of public schools throughout the country have adopted some system of teaching the children to save. Massachusetts has law making thrift teaching obliga- tory, New York has similar law pending, and other states favor such legislation. Mrs. $. L. Oberholtzer of Philadelphia has undertaken to con- tinue the work begun by Mir Thfry Uf collecting statistics relating to this class of banks, and through her cour- tesy the comptroller is enabled to present the latest statistical data showing the growth of the school say tngs bank system in this country
 The secretary of the treasury has approved a plan for systematizing the designs of United States notes, coin certificates, and national bank notes, and simultaneously the reduction of the size of al! notes. It is the purpose to make the notes more artistic and at the same time to give them added security in the circumvention of coun- terfeiting. The number of designs will be reduced from 19 to 9. The change determined upon will also re- duce the number of plates necessary to print national bank notes from 12,000 to 200, thus effecting not only an economy in the printing of the notes, but saving to the banks in tarested.
 The reduction in size of the notes will enable the storage capacity of the department and bank vaults to be in- creased about 25 per cent, and it is believed that with the reduction in size the folding of notes, to a certain extent will be obviated, resulting in their greater longevity.
 The length of time required to effect the changes in designs and size of notes is stated at about IS months.

trus,, which he would destroy as violation of the Sherman law.
 Butter making has drifted to the large manufacturers, the natural in crease in volume of business has been curtailed and the prices to the people of the country have been enhanced especially during the winter season, by the operations of the "conspira- tors" according to the governments petition in equity
 Price Fixing Is Opposed.
 Aside from the dissolution of the two organizations, the government seeks to enjoin the defendants from appointing a pricefXing committee; from fixing prices; from quoting or publishing figures purporting to be market prices unless they are based on bona fde sales of butter; from de- manding that the Elgin price be used as a basis in making contracts for butter, and from making fictitious or wash sales of butter to mislead as to the actual price at which butter is being sold.
 The price of butter fixed on the Elgin exchange. the government main- tains, is not the result of free and open competition regulated by actual bona fde sales under the law of SUD- ply and demand. The price fixing committee of the board is dominated and controlled, it is alleged, by large butter manufactories, known as cen tralizers, and by cold storage con- cens. This committee, the petition adds, has acted arbitrarily and with out any regard to actual values. and fixed prices wholly in the interest of the ccnspirators
