Talks with organs Friends.

with comparatively few exceptions, the
Democratic leaders whom Mr.. Wilson
summoned from Washington for confer
ences here have been warm friends OF the
Nebraskan and in addition 10 announcing
their support OF Bryan for the highest
place i'm the Wilson Cabinet they have
said that the Nebraskan is anxious Tor
the place.
While il is apparently certain that
Bryan will be the leading member OF the
Wilson Cabinet. there is much specula-
ton as to what part William +. McCombs
will have in the new administration. but
the belief IS general that when the Cabi-
net slate is announced tho name OF Mr..
McCombs will not be on t. The chairman
Of the Democratic National Committee in
timated that much or his recent visit
here.
This does not mean. however, that Mr..
McCombs win not he connected with the
Wilson administration. ON the contrary.
he will have an important part. but one
which will not interfere with his duties
as chairman OF the national committee, a
place he intends 10 occupy with much
yigor during the Wilson administration.
AS tn the present status Of the Wilson
Cabinet many usually well Informed per-
sons believe the President-elect has finally
satisfied himself as to the personnel OF
his advisers and will make them known
before a fortnight has passed.

PECKWORTH A BANKRUPT
Creditors File Petition Against
Well Known Contractor.

A petition in bankruptcy has been fled
against Charles II. Peckworth. a builder,
of No. 63I Hudson street, by william r.
HILL attorney for these creditors: f. &c
j. Warrin Company. 2,110; Employers
Liability Assurance Corporation, Ltd, OF
London, 2,239, and the r. New Construc-
ton Company, 500.
1t Is alleged that while insoivent he
transferred. on October 4, the New York
County National Bank assignments OF
building contracts with the city of New
York. on which there were large amounts
unpaid.
Peckworth has been in business more
than fifteen years and has had many large
contracts for construction work. He was
also interested in several realty and con-
struction companies. His financial state
ment of May 1, 1911. showed assets OF
$500. 6l9, and liabilities Of &22,CR, surplus
$3.50, 527.
He was the lowest bidder in 1911 for
a section of the Lexington avenue SUD-
way from 10Th to SD streets. his bid or
s.. 10000 being sllO0,VO) below the next
bid. but he afterward withdrew mis- bid,
giving delay In awarding the contract
as a reason.

Fox told Whitman that he always paid
over his money TO the captain in the cap
tain's office. the clerical man usually
being sent out Of the room. The patrol
man gave the District Attorney the names
of the hotels and the managers who
paid the graft II is possible that this
phase Of the matter will be aired through
the aldermanic committee instead Of the
courts inasmuch as the extraordinary
term Of the Supreme Court is engaged
solely on the police end Of the graft sit

The patrolman was able also 10 throw
light on the method of handling the
gambling graft, since Commissioners

but many more inspired by the captains.
Thus the captains were enabled to turn
over to Police Headquarters these gam
bling complaints which would send a
central office squad into the district with
a raid over the inspectors head.
The net result, Fox explained. was that
the inspectors were forced to turn over a
percentage of their graft 10 the captains
in return for which the captains saw that
such complaints went first to the IN
spector instead Of to Police Headquarters

Civilian cooks were used by all organ

discipline and I'm several cases served
meals at a late hour, delaying companies
most seriously. No recourse save the dis
charge OF the cook was possible, and this
would have left the company without a
cook. This Is considered to be one OF the
gravest weaknesses of the regiment, and

The following extracts. showing the
difficulties of transportation. the inef-

ing Of wagons. are taken from the re-
ports of inspectors and staff officers:
As a rule. the draft animals provided for
the militia organizations were either In
sufficient In number or Of poor quality.
In many instances only two horses per
wagon were provided. These trains were
almost invariably late In arriving at
camp, due I'm many instances to causes
noted above and in others to inexperi.
enced officers In charge. IL was noticed
that the city horses used by some OF the
troops were not as efficient for draft pur-
poses as those accustomed to country
roads. The superiority of mules over
horses for army transportation was most
noticeable.
The baggage carried by officers was far
In excess OF the field allowance. Most all
officers had suitcases. trunks and bedding
rolls. In some cases officers carried, in
addition to the above, large wooden
chests One three and a half ton truck

CALLED IT TOLED3.

Story of How an Ohio City Came Co
 Gets Its Name.
 About 100 years ago little settle ment existed at the mouth of the Mau- mee river It's name, Port Lawrence, was given in honor of the great naval commander. The little town was not prosperous, and five years later Major Suckney, an enthusiastic but eccentric man, founded another settlement right next to Port Lawrence and called his village Vistula. Both settlements were stimulated somewhat by the cOmpeti- ton, but neither prOspered sufficiently, and one year later it was proposed to unite the towns.
 Everything was easily arranged eX- ceDt the name, and here trouble arose. Major Stickney insisted that the new community accept the name of his part, Vistua, but the citizens were not prepared to have a name thrust upon them by one whose peculiarities led him to name his two children No. r and ''No. 2" This fact in the majors family life was enough to cause any suggestion from him to be received skeptically.
 The discussions were many and heat ed when Willard Daniels, a merchant of Vistula, suggested that they adopt the name of Toledo, the ancient capital of Spain. He explained that the word originally was "TOledoth," from the Hebrew, meaning Mother of People, and MT. Daniels said they ought to be able to come together under such a title of peace. Another reason was the remarkable nearness in attitudes of both places, in Spain and in Ohio, the actual difference being only a little more than one degree. Further aTgu- ments were that it was pleasant in sound, easy to pronounce and that no city of the western continent as yet bore the name.
 His reasoning prevailed, and the united towns assumed the name To- ledo. That they remained true to tt is shown in the fact that their first permanent newspaper was called the Toledo Blade, in recognition of the fact that Toledo, Sapin, was famed all over the world for the quality of the sword blades which it produced. - Ladies' Home Journal.

 The almost universal type for mc- dium priced hotels has a wooden cage hy 8 feet intended for i've per sons It is driven by a four horse power electric motor and controlled by a series of push buttons on the outside at the bottom A person desiring to go to the third floor enters the ear, and the attendant l0r rather, any servant for there is no elevator bOyt pushes button No. 9. the ear stops at the third floor. and the passenger steps out and calls down the shaft that the car is free.
 Sometimes the button control is h. side. in which case the attendant ac. companies the passenger. Sometimes there is an aunun-iator, but not often, because the car is not supposed to be called to an upper floor to carry pas sengers down. Stairs are for that Dur- pose.
