PR0GRESSlVES MAKE
 THEIR NOMINATIONS
NEW YORK STATE THIRD PARTY NAME CANDIDATES FOR Su.
 PREME, COURT JOBS.

Rochester, N r.. Sept 27-tInited States District Judge Learned Hand. ! progressive, and Supreme Justice Samuel Seabury, D aggressive dem ocrat, today were nominated for chief judge and associate judge of the cours of appeals, respectively. by the progressive state committee in session here, upon recommendation Of the progressive state conference Both are residents of New York city. The conference heard an address by former President Roosevelt.
 The plea of Colonel Roosevelt that the state courts "be recalled from legalism to humanity and justice" was the keynote of nominating speeches.
 Judge Hand. who was nominated for chief judge, on April 2S, 1909. was appointed a United States judge for the southern district of New York by President Taft
 Judge Seabury became supreme court justice in 1907.
 The platform adopted by the con ference reaffirms the principles enun- ciated in the national and state plat forms of 1912. Of the high court of impeachment, the platform says:
 Much of the evidence was fa miliar detail to Tammany leaders long before the impeachment pro ceedings was thought of. To the Tammany mind it was not at that time immoral It became immoral only when the newly-elected govern or proposed to carry out his party's platform and aid in the writing of genuine direct primary law upon the statute books, and when investiga- ton by the governor began to dis. close great frauds.
 "The responsibility for the shame of the commonwealth is not upon Tammany Hall alone The Barnes machine in every crisis has been a faithful and effective coadjutator for the Murphy machine"

CLAIMED IT WILL PRODUCE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR GOVERN
 MENT EXPENSES.
SURPLUS OF $lb,OO0.O0O
Is Estimated by Experts in Charge of the New Tariff Measure-Confer- ence Report is Completed Ready for Republicans.

Washington, Sept. 27.-A surplus of from $10,000.000 to $16,000,000 over current needs of the government will be provided by the new tariff law. in the opinion of Senator Simmons, chair man of the joint conference commit tee which is to report the completed democratic tariff bill to the house and senate next week. Experts from the treasury department who have been keeping up with tde conference com mittee during it's two weeks of labor worked late tonight perfecting com plete estimate of tfhe revenues the government will receive under the law. Tn total had not been completed to- night, but democratic leaders were as- sured that there would be no defi- ciency.
 Interest centered today about the developments in the fight over the proposed tax on trades in cotton fu- lures. Representative Underwood in troduced in the house the so-called Smith-Lever compromise plan, which has the endorsement of the president, the secretary of agriculture, the post master general and many southern senators and members of congress. This win be advocated in the house next week and Representative Under wood expects the house to instruct it's conferees to insist on having the amendment to go into he tariff bill
 Senate leaders would not admit to- day that the senate, would accept the compromise, although some of the sen ate democrats are it's warm cham pions. Senator Clarke, author of the provision passed by the senate, ex- poets to make a strong fight against the compromise.
 Tde essential difference between the two plans is that the Clarke amend ment would impose a tax of 50 cents a bale on all future trades where the actual cotton is not delivered, while the Smith-Lever plan would require cotton contracts to specify govern ment grades and would establish a definite method of enforcing the de- livery of merchantable cotton at fair market price.
 The conference report was com lpleted today and will be laid before the republican conferees. Of the many to the bill tlat were ta- ken up the by tfhe democratic confer ees, the house receded on 427 and the the Senate on 151: while g were com promised Only one amendment, that on cotton futures, ic left in disagree ment.

Senate Subcommittee Recommends
 Ending Commerce Court.

Washington, Sept. 27.--A sub-com. mlttee of the senate appropriations committee today recommended he abolishment of the United States commerce court in practically the same terms as were contained in the deficiency appropriation bill recently passed by .he house.
 Hearings held by the sub-commit- tee during the last few days brought many protests against the proposed action, Attorney General McReynolds being among those to advocate con. .inuing the court
 The future of the court will depend on the action Of the full appropria. tions committee of the senate when 1t atkes up the report of the slDb- committee. The provision passed by the house would abolish the court December 31 next and would reduce the number of circuit judges so that the commerce court judges would be legislated out of office at once.

RICE CROP SALE,
Unless Further Rains Occur Texas
 Crop Will Not Suffer,

New Orleans, Sept 27.-Unless heavy rains of the past few days in the rice belt continue, local rice deal CTS believe the damage to the crop will not be as extensive as has been reported. While it is true that the greater part of the crop still is in the fields, traders here do not believe the output will be curtailed as much as has been reported from some sections. should the rain continue, however they fear the grade will be seriously affected and If hot weather should fol- low the rains the rice may sprout and rot.
 Shortage of labor is responsible for much of the crop still being in the fields. Several Louisiana mills have not been running for want of supplies. Daily receipts here have been very light for this season and there is little nope of increased shipments until the rain ceases.

GAMBOA STARTS
 HIS CAMP PAIGN
FORMER MINISTER Or FOREIGN AFFAIRS MAPS OUT CAM
 PAlGN FOR PRESIDENCY.
Twenty-Five Public Speakers Win Take the Stump in His Behalf in All Parts Of Country.

Mexico City, Sept. 21-Federico Gainboa is losing no tiss4e in getting his campaign for the presidency un- der way With only four weeks in. terveDing before the elections, and, relieved of his duties as minister, he has plunged into the work of organ for campaign of spellbinding which will probably draw him per sonalIy into the field as political orator.
 Hundreds of telegrams were sen. today from the temporary headquar- ters of the Catholic party to the heads of the party divisions i'll vari- ous parts of the country.
 Arrangements have already been made for 25 public speakers to take the field within few days in the smaller uidies and villages. Senor Gamboa himself, 1t was said today, will doubtless visit 8 number of cities on a speechmaking tour,
 Permanent campaign headquarters have been engaged in a centrally located business block. Besides the campaign of oratory, arrangements are going forward for the presenta- tion upon screens in moving picture theaters, with which the republic abounds, of the claims of the candi- dates for support Banners anu posters will be displayed to an ex- tent never before known in Mexico.
 A coalition between the Catholics and some elements of the so-called liberals is also counted upon, accord ing to the leaders of the Catholic party Individuals of .he most radi' cal wing of the liberals have ap' preached the Catholics with d prop osition to put forward Senor Gamboa and General RaScon as the candi- dates also of that faction, thus giy- ing the liberals an opportunity to support these men without having the appearance of voting the Catholic ticket
 This is in line with Senor Gam boas stipulation, upon accepting the presidential candidacy, that he should regard himself as the candi- date of the whole people, not merely that of the Catholic party lnci- den.ally. it was the influence ot Senor Gamboa that was responsible for the recall from Europe of Gen. Felix Diaz. President Huerta was intent upon having General Diaz con tinue on his mission to Japan and 1t was only when Senor Gamboa indl cated the desirability of having him rendered free to take the field as presiden.ia candidate that General ,Eiuerta agreed to his recall.
 The Catholic party leaders hope by securing the cooperation of somt of the liberals to break the influ ence of the liberal party in the chamber of deputies and prevent the contamination of .hat party's pro posed effort to bring about post ponement of the elections.
