Democrats and Republicans
to Agree on Confirming
Recent Appointments of
President Taft.
DEMOCRATS WILL
SAFEGUARD PARTY
Will Not Let Taft Pay Po-
litical Debts by Appoint
ing Friends to Vacant Po-
litical Offices.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Efforts are
being made to effect compromise be-
tween the Republicans and Demo
Gratis whereby the latter will agree to
the confirmation of the major portion
Of the presidents recent appointments.
At the outset Of the present session
some Of the radical Democrats were
in favor Of holding up all of the presi-
dents appointments or most of them
in order that there might be more pie
for their partisans when Woodrow Will
son enters the white house.
More moderate counsel has prevail
ed, however, and 1t is likely that most
of the nominations will be allowed to
go through. Those which the Demo
Gratis will seek to hold up and which
they will doubtless be able to hold up
If they try will be such appointments
as they believe have been made as a
return for political service, and such
others as have been deferred for
months or year and which the presi-
dent may now seek to make before
the expiration of his term. The oppo-
sition to the latter class is that
where a mans commission expired
eight or nine months ago and the mat
ter was allowed to drift along without
a new appointment. nomination for
four years would simply extend the
term of some Republican into the Pc
riod when the Office should be filed by
a Democratic appointee.
Moreover the Democrats do not pro-
pose that the president shall pay his
political debts with political Offices.
Diplomatic nominations and the filling
of such other Offices as are necessary
to the proper conduct of governmental
business will not be subject to Demo
cratic objections. AS soon as the Dem
ocrats can come to some understand
ing with the Republicans as to what
places should and what ones should
not be filled by the president, the mat,
ter of combinations will be speedily
adjusted.
During the last three months of
President Clevelands term he made
some 400 appointments all of which
the Republicans confirmed with the ex.
SCplloh VI oOouI hiHCly. hS Oils "Sl
of the Democrats to this statement,
however. is that when Mckinley came
in he displaced most of these Demo
Gratis with Republicans. Still the Dem
ocrats feel generally if they were to
hold up all of Tafts nominations there
might some day come reaction and
they would be paid back in their own
coin.

MONKEYS SHOULD
NOT HAVE DRINKS
Temperance Workers Believe
1t Is Not Beneficial for
Their Welfare.

"The members of the Wayne County
Temperance union deplore that in this
advanced stage of civilization man.
kind should give to dumb brutes in
capable of thinking for themselves,
what they know to be harmful to any
living creature"
This statement was made by one of
the members of the temperance So
ciety upon hearing that whiskey was
given to the monkeys at the Glen Mill
er zoo during the cold weather to keep
them warm. According to the belief
of one member of the society the tenn
perature of the monkeys quarters
should be kept high enough to prevent
the necessity of giving them stimu-
lants.
What is harmful to man is also
harmful to monkeys" was the opinion
of Mrs. s. w. Traum, president of the
county society, who further stated that
she would take up the matter with the
city authorities and with the park man
agement.
Some of the members of the society
claim that while the whiskey acts as
stimulant and warns the body tenn
porarily, it's action has the oposite ef-
feet after the whiskey has passed
through the body.

The medical examiners, DR.. J. E.
King and DR.. A. L. Bramkamp, report
that the number of pupils in Garfield
school with defective eyes is unusual.

to the excellent design of the building
to admit light. All rooms are supplied
with windows which will admit plenty
of light at all times of the day, and the
electric lights are placed so as to fur.

In other schools the lighting is far

kept after hours to complete back

(National News Association

tion and hotel bills; of the expenses

For these purposes money may be
raised and transmitted from one state
to another and expended.
The bill makes the violation a mis-
demeanor and fixes the punishment as
a term from six months to one year.
At Senator Clapp's request the bill as
referred to his committee which is in

SCHOOL SITE IN
WEST SIDE BOUGHT
One Block Purchased from
Bliss Estate for a Con-
sideration of $4, 800.

The Richmond city school board to-
day concluded the purchase of the
block between South West First and
Second and South D and E streets on
the Arlington pike in West Richmond
from the Bliss estate for $4,000. o. B.
Fulghum acted as agent.
The plat includes thirty-two lots. six
teen facing on South West First and
sixteen on Second. The consideration
is regarded as an eminently reason
able one by the school board. 1t was
believed at first that condemnation
proceedings would be necessary to Sc
cure the site. The West Richmond
improvement association. which urged
the purchase of new school site. is
pleased with the selection Of the board.
The board has taken no steps to de-
termine the kind of building that will
be erected, but it will consider plans
at an early date. The sidewalks on
Second street have been made, and a
sewer runs through the property
John F. Thompson, professor of bot
any in the high school, and city forest
er, has been asked by the board to sur
vey the plat and indicate where trees
should be planted. The board wants a
specimen of each species of trees ma
tive to this section planted on the
site, partly to assist the teachers in
teaching nature study branches, and
also to provide shade for the play
ground.
The plat is large enough to provide
adequate Fairgrounds for the West
Side children. The purchase of the
site will give the board opportunity
to extend the playground work of the
school system of the city.

FUNDS TO COUNTY
Makes Good His Defalcation
of $l,o3S as Sheriff of
Preble County, Ohio.
palladium Specially

EATON, O., Dec. 7.-Returning to
the county the sum of $1,93S, which
represented alleged Irregularities,
Sheriff William S. Boner has escaped
prosecution on a charge of embezzle-
ment, he having been indicted several
weeks ago when his shortage was de-
tected. His bondsmen, fourteen in
number, brought forth $500 Of the
amount and Boner the remainder. A
Hamilton produce dealer, is said to
have furnished the bulk Of the total
shortage.
When the announcement of the
shortage was made, 1t came as dis
tinct surprise. The mysterious disap.
pearance of the defaulting official fol-
lowed, but after an absence of a cou-
pie of days, he returned, notwithstand-
ing that letters mailed to his wife from
Richmond, Ind, stated that he was
gone for good"
In closing the case, Judge A. C.
Risinger, of the common pleas court,
ruled that Boner be allowed to con-
tinue in his official capacity, but not
permitted to handle any of the funds
coming into his office. Deputy Sheriff
John w. Hoffman has been instructed
to render this duty. Judge Risinger
further declared that, excluding the un-
fortunate instance of Boner, all other
affairs had been conducted in a man
ner highly satisfactory.
Boner is good fellow" and his
free-hearted qualities were attributed
to his financial trouble.
