Senator William Hughess action IN

party members In the Senate against
| the patronage grab in the urgency
deficiency bill is said to have beer
dictated not so much by the sena-
tors love for civil service as by ms
desire to keep his friend, George II
Burke, in office. Burke is deputy IN
ternal revenue collector at paterson
and is now covered by civil service
The provisions of the amendment put
into the appropriation bill by the
Senate Democrats the other day
would remove the civil service pro-
lection from Burkes job, and make II
possible for Hughes to name a Demo-
crat for the place.
Burke is a Republican, and a few
wears ago was Hughess Republican
opponent for election to Congress.
All of which would suggest excellent
reasons for Hughes favoring the anu
civil service amendments. 1t SO nap
pens, though, that despite their po-
ljtical antagonisms, or perhaps be-
cause of them, Hughes and Burke
are personal friends, and the junior
senator, it is said, does not want TO
be placed in the position where ne
can be asked to recommend Demo-
crat for the job held by his Repupn-
can friend.
Aside from the little furry over
civil service. which may bring some
members of the House back to work
for a few days. it isn't on the pro-
gram for the House of Representa-
tiyes to do any business now until
after the Senate has finished with the
currency bill. The best guess on the
currency legislation just now seems
to be that the Senate committee Will
finish it's hearings in another week
or ten days, and that bill Will be
reported from committee and brought
into the Senate for consideration
about the first of November. After
that the administration forces VIII
push with all the influence at their
command to shorten the debate ana
secure the passage of the new law
before the beginning of the regular
session of Congress.
There is no prospect of the imme-
date appointment of an internal rev.
enue collector at Newark. without
regard to who the eventual appolntee
may be. 1t is talrly certdin 1naI -

bent. will continue to hold the job
for awhile. and not improbably, until
after election. ~
While Senator Hughes is still
standing pat on his recommenda-
ton of Factory Inspector Charles v.
Duffy, of Paterson, for the place, and
assuring all inquirers that he has the
promise of Secretary McAdoo and the
President that Duffy will be named,
there is a growing suspicion among
members of the New Jersey delega,,
ton that Hughes may not be allowed

Co-operutIve Credit Failure.

From the Country Gentleman.
The Imperial Cooperative Bank of
Germany. the duty of which was 10
serve as central credit institution
for the loan and savings banks af1ll-
lated with the Imperial Union OF
German Cooperative Agricultural
Societies, is to be dissolved because
of both high and poor financing.
There are 26,576 agricultural societies,
with a, membership of 2,500O00 farm
ers affiliated with the Imperial Union.
MANY of these small societies will
suffer loss.
Curiously enough, William Haas,
founder of the Imperial Union and its
foster-child. the Imperial Co-opera-
tive Bank, as well as the lnterna-
tional League of Agricultural Socle-
ties. before his death in February,
said. "In cases where ignorance and
the foolish desire for profit and power
of selfish personal motives lead peo-
Pile away from self-relianee there can
not fail to be a grievous want of
success"
Technically educated men of no
practical experience have full SWING
in Germany. 1t is Fundamentally a
try-out country. So before we Dor
row freely from German institutions
it is well to keep in mind that the
empire of Germany is governed by
one man. who announces his indie
pendence of the people and proclaims
his responsibility to God alone. What
can be done in Germany might not do
elsewhere.

Locket Reunites Father and Son. Lost
to Each Other Twenty Years.
NEW YORK, Oct. AFTER twenty
years search, Metje Bukkos. former
ly wealthy restaurant proprietor or
Goldfield, Nevada, yesterday found
his son. an immigrant in the steer
age of the steamship Uranium,
through a locket the young man
wore.
Twenty years ago Bukkos left
Trieste to seek his fortune in this
country, leaving behind young wife
and a baby boy. He told his wife he
would send for her in six months.
Twelve years passed and he was
still wandering from place to place
penniless and out of employment for
months at time. Then he prospered
Two years ago he came to live In
Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn.
Last November he went to Trieste.
He learned that his wife had gone
to Germany. He followed. The best
news he could obtain of her was she
had died about two years ago in
Bremen. He learned nothing of his
son.
Abandoning the search broken
hearted, he returned to this country
embarking on the Uranium, which
arrived yesterday.
Last Thursday night a musicale
was given aboard ship in the salon.
A young immigrant, whose talent as
violinist had attracted the atten-
ton of the officers of the ship, was
brought from the steerage to play.
An inexplicable bond of sympathy
grew between this immigrant violin
list and Bokkus. AS the two were
talking on deck after the ship left
Halifax, Bukkos saw the locket the
youth wore. 1t was the one he had
given his wife twenty years earlier.

Poet Stownway PrOsaicnIly Treated.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
When Harry Kemp, of Kansas.
without ticket or money, walked
aboard the Oceanic at her New York
pier he seems to have been satisfied
that he could make his appearance on
board an advantage to the steamship
company by diverting the passengers.
His notion was to read his poems to
the first cabin folk, to give them an
opportunity to cultivate their taste,
and so to earn his passage honestly,
If irregularly.
But the captain of the Oceanic,
prejudiced against stowaways as all
veteran mariners are, set Harry
Kemp, poet, to washing dishes and
kept him at the task till the landing
at Southampton. Then he handed
over the versemaker to the civil au
thorities, and Harry Kemp, of Kan
sas, is now in Jail awaiting a formal
trial, and a term in prison that will
be fully as prosaic as the dishwashing
on the Oceanic.
Only confirmed optimist will dare
to hope that this experience will cure
Harry Kemp. of Kansas, of his aggra-
waited case of cacoethes scribendi, for
the disease is deep seated, and it's a
lot harder to stop writing verses than
to stop taking opium, or, using CO.
caine, or smoking hashheesh. The
captain of the Oceanic isn't interested
in the reformation or cure of any
prairie poetaster Deterrency of the
stowaway habit Is what he is think
ing of, and there is no sentiment
about him.
The trouble with the poet Is really
moral astigmatism. In plain English
even in Kansas prose, what he did
was to attempt a swindle on the
steamship company-to get to South
ampton without paying. Swindlers'
are punished in every civilized land,
unless they are very clever swindlers,
who evade the law, and at this art
even real poets are awkward always

what was coming to him." or hu-
manitarian tears and sentimental
flowers, he is alike unworthy, in the

sea in ships, who do business in the

worlds Richest Iron Mine.

From a Consular Report
The richest and probably the largest
iron ore mine in the world is located
at Kiruna, Lapland, in latitude $50
north, which is about the same as the
northernmost boundary of Alaska.
The climate is somewhat mllder than
in Alaska, and these mines are
worked the year around. About 1000
men are employed, and the equipment
is all the most modern machinery OBJ
tainable. Machine tools for the re-
pair shop, air compressors and rock
drills and several of the largest steam
and electric shovels are of American
make. orders have been placed for a
large addition to their electrical
shovel equipment with an Ohio COM
pany. the machines of this latter con-
ecrin having proved superior to other
makes which have been used in the
mines
The plant is at present operated by
steam power the coal supply coming
from England and Spitzbergen
Steam coal is delivered here for about

will be the capacity of this station
and it will be transmitted at 1900
volts over distance of $50 miles The
