TAFT OPPOSES COMPULSORY
ARB|TRA TION OF STRIKES,

New Haven, CT, Dec. 15.-Former Pres
ident William Howard Taft, last night,
took a stand opposing compulsory arbi-
tratien of labor disputes and advocated
the appointment of tribunal which should
refer its decisions to public opinion for
the settlement of strikes. Professor Taft
gave this opinion during the progress of
a short talk in which he introduced John
Wesley Hill, president of the Interna-
tional Peace Forum. who spoke on In
dustrial Peace at Yale.
Compulsory arbitration has been found
useless where it has been tried in the
settlement of labor disputes" said Pro-
fessor Taft. "a private theory of mine
is that in case of strike there should be
a tribunal to investigate, take evidence
and issue a report on the situation. leav-
ing the matter to public opinion to work
itself out Generally. public opinion is
not we'll informed on these subjects, but
in this way the solution would work it
self out.

A Military Novelty.

A German authority describes an H.
Eliminating projeetile of a new type
manufactured by Krupp. The pro-
jectile, built like a shrapnel, contains
number of layers of flame bulbs in a
black powder matrix separated by thin
annular, partitions. A black powder
fuse runs through the centre of the
projectice like a core. The base of the
projeetile is filled with six feathers"
made of thin metal, which are held in
place, folded up against the projeetile
when IL is fired. When the projectile
reaches the highest point in its ira
jectory, an automatic arrangement re-
leases the feathers" at the base, ar
resting it's fight and causing it to
float in the air point downward. At
this moment the first layer of flame
balls is thrown out. The other layers
are thrown out successfully, lighting
up the field.-American Machinist.

Albert Lang, who is exploring the

Dellenbaugh, secretary of the EXplor-

tribe Of Indians, 1000 miles from civil

Cairary and Moju rivers Mr. Lang
gives a picturesque description OF the
savages, who he says, took him Tor
god. embracing his feet to show their
devotion. Their tools, he writes, are
stone. and their ideas so unusual as to
suggest their belonging to another age.
The Jewish cast of their features might
lead one TO infer that they were of the
lost tribes did not their ignorance OF
iron and writing argue against it.

a virgin tribe. which can be so described
because they are wholly untouched and
unspoiled by civilization. They use
stone axes and by their aid have clear

SO blunt are the tools that the trees

ALREADY BRoOKLYN'S.
No Action, Says Ebbets, Can Reseind
The Sale of Cincinnati Man.

New York, Dec. 15.-President Chas.
H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn Club, when
informed of the refusal of the board
of directors of the Cincinnati Club to
ratify the sale of Joe Tinker stated
that he considered Tinker already the
property3of the Brooklyn Club.
No action of the directors of the
Cincinnati Club can rescind the sale
of Tinker to Brooklyn" said Ebbets,
and l consider Tinker as much a
member of the club as Daubert, Wheat.
Rucker or Robinson. The contract
drawn up between Mr.. Hermann and
myself is just as binding as one club
as the other. Do you suppose the
Brooklyn Club having agreed to pay
$4,000 for tinker, would be permit
ted to back out by the Cincinnati di-
rectors If we decided after considera-
tion that the price was too high?"
Hermann, as president Of the Gin
cinnati Club, had the same right to
make the deal for his club as I did
for Brooklyn. Tinker Is the property
Of the Brooklyn Club at this moment
and If he decides to play in 1914 will
wear a Brooklyn uniform.
Having announced Tinker's acquisi-
tion to Brooklyn fans I do not propose
to be made laughing stock of the
baseball world"

Washington, Dec. 15.-Elihu Root,
United States senator from New York,
was. Saturday afternoon, brought for
ward to the footlights as the Republi
can nominee for President in 1916.
The action taken semed both official
and the result of meditation and con-
ference. The proposition to make Mr.
Root leader of his party in the next
national contest was advanced by
Senator Jacob II. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, chairman of the Republi-
can caucus and consequently floor
leader of the minority. His utterance
Immediately stamped Mr.. Root as the
favored candidate of the Old Guard and
the standpatters.
A formal statement was prepared by
Mr. Gallinger and given publicity over
his own signature. The step was taken
with the approval of many who have
been wheel horses in former campaigns.
The suggestion is certain to receive the
open appreciation or silent indorse-
ment of all those who have been classi-
lied as reactionaries. It will meet the
unqualified antagonism of all Republi-
cans designated as Progressive.
psychological moment was chosen
for launching the Root Presidential
boom. 1t came at the conclusion of a
long and brilliant speech in opposition
to the pending currency measure The
instant Mr.. Root took his seat, Mr.
Gallinger handed out his previously
signed pronouncement in favor of the
New Yorker and the Republican stan
dard bearer in three years hence
In all other respects, the opportunity
selected was propitious. The Republican
congressional campaign committee only
last evening adopted resolution urging
a special convention of the party next
spring, to consider reapportionment and
reform
Early next week, the Republican ma

the expediency of holding a separate
convention.

Carnegie eulogized Mr.. Root and pro.

Root, and which made him the recog-

Such a combination of favorable aus.

FILLING THE LUNGS.
Correct and Deep Breathing Is ESSEN
tal to Good Health.


No piece of advice the physician car
give will bear more frequent repetition
than the pithy sentence, Breathe
deeply 1t is a perfectly simple rule
ef health, yet it is constantly broken
There are two ways to learn te
breathe. If our powers of self disci-
pline are poor, as is the case with most
insufficient breathers, it is good plan
to join a gymnasium or calisthenie
class and learn to use the lungs as
baby learns to use its feet and hands
But remember that lessons in breath
ing will do no good IL the scholar
thinks he is absolved from his task ex-
cept when he is in the class.
A simpler method for those who
have not time or opportunity to at
tend a gymnasium Is to turn life's
daily routine into a continuous dis
cipline in breathing. II the pool
breather takes the trouble to watch
himself carefully he will find thai
when he is engaged upon any worl
that calls for close attention he doe
not even breathe as deeply as usual
he almost invariably holds his breath
Thus the blood current is vitiated
when it ought to be cleansed, and the
worker exhausts himself, not so much
by his labors as by his neglect.
Draw in deep drafts of air every
time you take a breath, and every lit
tie while stop everything else and fill
your lungs a few times with breaths
that test their capacity. You will be
surprised to see the improvement thai
it will make in your general condition

President Ebbet Says Action Cannot
Resclnd..Trade Considered Made.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 1.-two
players, pitcher, an outfielder, to-
gether with $4,000 in cash. are now
asked from the Brooklyn Club by the
Cincinnati Club, in exchange for the
services of Shortstop Joe Tinker, in
stead of the straight sale of the play
er to the Brooklyn club, for $25,o00,
as had been arranged by Presidents
Hermann and Ebbets, last week. This
action was decided on, today, after the
board of directors of the Cincinnati
Club had overruled the action OF
President Hermann in making the
deal. Following the receipts of tel
egram from President Ebbets in which
he said he expected the Cincinnati
Club to fulfill it's end of the agree
ment, Mr.. Hermann wired that the
directors were not satisfied with the
cash sale of Tinker and asked for a
choice OF Pitchers Ragon and Yingling
and Outfielders Moran and Stengel
with a cash bonus Of $4,000.
1t is understood that the Cincinnati
Club directors objected to paying s10,
600 to Tinker out of the $25,000 to be
received for him and want Brooklyn
players instead.

TRIAL AGAINST
WEST FUEL co.
Eight of Indicted Officials
And Employees to Ans
wer to u. S. for Alleged
Frauds---Co. Has 33, 231
Tons More Than Owned.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Taking Of
evidence in the trial of eight indicted
officials and employees of the Western
Fuel Co., for alleged frauds against
the United States government, began,
today.
Matt I. Sullivan, special counsel for
the government, told the jury he was
prepared to prove each defendant was
cognizant of the alleged fraud and had
profited by it.
Sullivan separated the alleged
frauds into five divisions-Short
weighing of coal imported from the
companys mines in British Columbia
short weighing of coal sold to Amer
lean ships, short weighing of coal
sold to government transports, and
other government-own vessels;
cheating the government out of its
full customs dues; cheating the gov
ernment into paying rebates on coal
never delivered.
Sullivan said that in the last 10 years
the books showed the company had
sold 33,232 more tons of coal than il
owned.
The aggregate of the transactions
represented a loss to the government
reckoned at the retail price of coal
of almost 100000, he said. Sullivan
asserted the engineers of the Toye
Kisen Kaisha steamships had received
for years five per cent. payment of
every ton the vessels were supposed
to load, and the record showed many
gifts to officers and employees of the
Pacific Mail, to customs employees and
even officers of the army and navy.
