THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR
Went to Panama at Request Of PresI-
dent Taft.

Paris, Jan. A semi-ofiicial state
ment was issued today in regard to a
newspaper report, which has been re-
published here, that the French Am
bassador at Washington, Jean Jules
Jusserand, had been affronted by
President Taft and had left Washing
ton on a trip to Panama so as to be
absent from the New Years recep-
ton at the White House, and thus to
show his adhesion to his friend
Roosevelt
The statement declares that the
truth of the matter is quite different.
II says that Ambassador Jusserand
left for Panama at the request of
President Taft who repeatedly pressed
the French Ambassador to visit Pan
ANA before the construction of the
canal was terminated NJ Jusserand
and his wife, accompanied by Attor.
ney General Wickersham and his
wife, left for Panama on December
90, and expect to return TO Washing
ton on January 9, after which NJ. JUS
serand will 90 to New York to attend
the banquet of the New York Bar,
at which he and President Taft are
TO speak.
THE good relations existing be-
tween President Taft and Ambassa-
dor Jusserand," continues the state
ment, ARE well known. Far from
lacking cordiality and readiness in
connection with the negotiation of
the treaty of arbitration, as one news
paper insinuated, it was NJ. Jusserand
who was the first to approve public
ly of the idea. II was, thanks to his
Initiative, that the treaty between
France and America was signed
first"

MAY NOT NOMINATE HOOK
President Has Reopened Question Of
Supreme Court Appointment.


Supreme Court Appointment.
Washington. Jan. 3.--In view Of
the protests received from the rail
road commissions of Minnesota, Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Kentucky
against the proposed appointment OF
Judge William c. Hook OF Leaven-
worth, Kan, of the Eighth Judicial
Court, to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, succeeding the late
Associate Justice John NJ. Harlan,
President Taft has practically re-
opened the entire question. Senator
Curtis of Kansas called on the Presi'
dent today to urge the appointment
of Judge Hook. At Senator Curtis
request Mr. Taft promised to read
carefully the opinion OF Judge Hook
in the 2-cent rate cases. which form
the basis of the opposition to Judge
Hooks elevation TO the Supreme
bench.
While Mr.. Taft is familiar with
Judge Hooks judicial record and this
particular opinion, he agreed to read
it over again before he reaches a
final decision.
If President Taft yields to the pres
sure being brought against the APP
pointment of Judge Hook it is almost
certain that Secretary of Commerce
Nagel will be appointed Mr. Nagel
is backed by Attorney-General Wick
ersham Nj Nagel is GO years old
and has had no judicial experience.
II is said at the White House today
that Judge Swayze of the Supreme
Court of New Jersey is still under
consideration for the appointment.

LIMITED TRAIN DERAILED
Central Vermont Passengers Wer
Not Injured

Central Vermont Passengers Were
Not Injured
St. Adams, Jan. 3.-Today was one
of unusual delays on the Central Yer
mont, the trouble beginning when the
early morning Boston, Montreal sleep
er was held up two and a half hours
by a freight train, disabled between
Georgia and Oakland. This also de-
layed the early southbound mail
train.
About two hours later the derail-
ment occurred near Stanbridge, Que,
Of the southbound New England
States Limited, due here at 1892 a.
m. For some unexplained reason,
the entire train of five cars went OF
the iron while running at a high
speed The track and roadbed was
torn up for 80 rail lengths, but none
of the cars were upset and the only
damage done was that to the running
gear.
A wrecking train and crew was
hurriedly despatched to the scene, to-
gether with special train to bring
in the passengers and baggage A
special train was made up here to re-
place the regular. The noon train,
No. Is, southbound was held here to
take the delayed passengers toward
Boston and this DELAYED the up-train,
No. II, due at 2:15 which did not ar.
rive until nearly 400 p. m. In all
the mix-ups not a passenger nor EN-
poye was injured IL was one OF
those days when things would &C
wrong and there seemed to be nc

Brother George Is Determ-

st. Louis. No, July 1O.-There will
be no relief for George StovalTs young
pitchers when their opponents get to
them. No kind hand Will wave to the
Outfield and bring in a rescuer. The
unfortunate twirlers will have to fight
their way out
A game more lost means nothing to
the Browns As they stand now, they
are hopeless and no one realizes this
better than the new manager. What
he wants now is exact information as
to what he has on hand in the way OF
youngsters. Every old-timer and every
recruit that can't stand the gait viii
be weeded out
StOvan has an enirely different prop
OsitiOn on his hands than he had in
Cleveland last year. With the Maps the
material was there, waiting to be used
properly. st. Louis has been dry
rOtting. There is good stuff in the
Browns lineup, but IL is not. good
enough. StOvall must rebuild, and he
has started with the twirlers-
He doesn't want his veterans. And
he wants only those recruits that can
stand the gruelling test of standing
up and being hammered and still come
back strong

Cripple a Boxer at
Artesia, n. NJ.

Artesia, n. N. July 10.-The 1O-round
boxing match between James McHorse

against a brick wall that was two ieeI

shall for the three years and half
of his incumbency ending July l, is
nothing short of astounding. In some
of his recent speeches Governor Hanly
gives the figures and they are start
ling.
Governor Marshall during the first
three years and a half of his admins
tration exercised executive clemency
eight hundred and forty-one times.
His three predecessors, Mount, Durbin
and Hanly. in twelve years, exercised
executive clemency, all of them, only
379 times. In other words Governor
Marshall in three and half years ex-
ercised executive clemency twice as
many times as his predecessors in
twelve years. and more times, in adj
dition than Governor Mount exercised
that high power during his entire ad-
ministration. The Press has before re-
marked that Governor Marshalls
abuse of the pardoning power amount

Dear Sir or Madam:
With the commencement of hostili-

demands upon the Greek Red Cross
heavily taxed already by the general
mobilization of the army, are daily
growing larger and the Society is be-

thize with the sufferers in this newt
able struggle.
At the request of the governing
body Of the Greek Red Cross in Ath-

generosity Of the people of the United
States to send us contributions to en-
able us to strengthen the important
and arduous labors of the Red Cross"
and to assure its continuance. Small or
large sums will be equally thankfully
received. Every dollar helps. Every
contribution will be acknowledged by

EARL QE ESSEX

The Earl of Essex, head of one Of
the most illustrious of English fami-
lies, was born October "a, 1857, and
succeeded to the title upon the death
of his grandfather in 1892. The family
name is Capell. The first Lord Capelf
was beheaded by the followers of
Cromwell for his loyalty to Charles L.
Another ancestor, Sir Giles, was
knighted for his valor in the French
wars by Henry VIII. The present
Lord Essex received a military educa-
ton and for many years served as an
officer in the Grenadier Guards. To
Americans he is perhaps best known
as the husband of the beautiful Coun-

EVOLUTION OF THE VOTER.
Levi Peacock.

EVOLUTION OF THE VOTER.
Never in the history of political
campaign has the old "father-to-son"
idea of voting been exploded to such
great extent as it has during the
present epoch-making crusade of the
rival parties. Time was when the
man born south Of the Mason and
Dixon line felt that he was a real
straight Democratic ballot Again, in
the North, as well as in other sections
of the country, a great majority of the
votes We're cast for a certain party be-
cause it was tradition of the family
to vote that way. Father and grand
father voted that way, why not the
next generation?" was the argument
But times have changed, and more
than ever the son is becoming a free
thinker, and is voting his own convic-
tons. One of the chief reasons for
the educational advantages of the
youth of today are far less restricted
than even so late as twenty years ago.
The tables are turned, generally speak
inf, and, the son with the present day
educational advantages and closely in
touch with the issues of the campaign
has just as much influence through
the process of reasoning over the par
ent as the family tradition argument
In fact, with the more enlightened
class, the latter argument has practi-
cally ceased to be of any value
There is a natural progressive tend
ency on the part of not only the
young man, but the elder voter as
well. to better the economic condi-
tons Of the country. There is a gen.
eral difference of opinion as to the
best remedy to better these conditions,
but the feeling of unrest is universal
Here is where the free thinking comes
ir-the young voter, generally speak
ing, has had the proper training to
make his own decisions.
In the polls which have been TAX
en- around the state it has been proved
that in the ranks of the Progressive
party are many of the first voters
The young vote is an important factor
in any election, and these free think.
ing young voters may decide the is
sue on Nov. 5. The evolution of the
American voter is a great progressive
movement in itself.-Muncie Star

SCHOOL BOOK COST.

Mr.. Beveridge's figures on the cost
of school books in Indiana and in
free book states. given in his speech
at Vincennes last night, would seem
to find some confederation here. A
we'll known local educator stated to
the News few days ago that in his
opinion the annual cost of books per
pupil in Connersville was about Sc
in the common schools and 81 in the
high schools, much depending on the

care taken of the books. Mr.. Bev-
eridge stated that the average cost in
all grades in Michigan and Maine was
not far from so cents per pupil. In
ST. Louis the cost per pupil was no
more than that in the common schools,
while in the high grades the cost was
we'll under So. The question is one
that deeply concerns the average
home and therefore is one we'll worth
considering News.
