MAN 10 BEST AT SO
Say German Leaders In All Walks
Of Life.

Berlin. Dec. 2S-The Tageblatt
features a Christmas symposium en-
titled THE Man OF Fifty" Many
physicians, noted commercial men,
artists and others contributed their
opinions, and they agree that man
of fifty years is as valuable as man
of forty winters, and frequently
much more useful
Professor krause asserts that IL is
absurd to describe a man of fifty as
even growing Ole. He declares that
it is only in exceptional cases, due to
special causes, that he reveals de
creased elasticity.
Dr. Leppmann contends that a man
of fifty is highly superior in intellee-
tual worth, owing to his reliability
steadiness, experience and rational
living.
Professor Kampf the President of
the Royal Academy, asserts that the
great artists of all times have done
rheir best work between the ages of
40 and So
DR.. Zeitlin, secretary of the Berlin
Retail Traders Association, blame
the "Americanization" of German
commercial! life for the increasing
prejudice against men of so, this re-
sulting in the ruthless election OF the
older employees OF firms in favor of
younger men.

the affair, in connection with which
two men were arrested on suspicion
by the police. No plot is suspected
by the members of the service or by
the Panama police
while President Taft was at the
dance. an explosion occurred at De
Lesseps plaza, in front of the Hotel
Tiyoli, and blew up the newsstand
at the hotel" says dispatch to the
legation at Washington. The cause
of the explosion is believed to have
been jealousy and revenge between

lister Valdez gave out at the legation
at Washington yesterday official re-
ports from his government stating that
the minister of foreign affairs had re-
ported the matter TO President Taft
who was convinced that the explos-

Erie County District Attorney Hopes
to See Him Indicted Here.
Buffalo, Dec $50 great is the
dissatisfaction among the people of
this city and Lackawanna over the
verdict of the jury that heard the
case against J. Frank Hickey, which
held him guilty of murder in the sec
ond degree instead of deciding for
murder in the first degree or insani-
ty, that District Attorney Dudley las
resolved to do all in his power to
see that Hickey is still convicted of
the premeditated murders of which
he himself has said that he is guilty.
Hickey may yet be indicted and con-
victed and made to atone with his
life for the murder that he admits
committing in New York City or the
one IN Lawrence, Mass, of which he
is accused
District Attorney Dudley yesterday
called to his office the newspaper
men who accompanied Hickey as far
as Rochester on the trip to Auburn
and requested them to put in the
form of affidavits portions of the
confessions obtained by them in con-
nection with other crimes which
Hickey says he has committed.
He will forward the affldavits to
New York County. where District
Attorney Whitman is said to be con-
sidering the advisability of putting
evidence before the Grand Jury in an
attempt to get other indictments

William Randolph Hearst came in

received enthusiastically.
Among all the speakers there was
none Who advocated the strike, and no
argument in favor of it was advanced.
Though the vote revealed that some
thing more than fifth of the members
present were in favor of the strike,
they apparently lacked a spokesman to
advance their views Most Of the two
