A Miser,s LuaurY.

There was a Middlesex couple once
who lived on sum to shock the most
reckless of our correspondents. Daniel
Dancer was the man. He looked on
saving as an art and saved for arts
sake. His father left him a farm and
eighty acres, and his sister helped him
carry out his scheme of life. He let
the land lie fallow, says the London
Gest. II costs money to cultivate land
For food the couple believed In one
day. one meal The batch of dump
lings baked on a Saturday lasted out
the week. For clothing he depended
on hay bands "swathed round his feet
for boots and round his body for a
coat" But Daniel had weakness
He would buy clean shirt each year
and out of this arose the tragedy Of
his lfe--a lost lawsuit over three
pence which. In Daniels Judgment, the
shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed.
He died in 1904 worth $4,000 year.

TALKS TO LARGE CROWD
Roosevelt Attacks Judicial System Of
the United States.

Buenos Ayres, Nov. s. Colonel
Roosevelt told large audience that
the opposition that has developed
against the referendum and recall in
the United States has come because
the advocates of this program have
provoked the "unrelenting enmity o.
certain great financial interests y
"Some of these great interests are
anxious to exploit the people," said
Colonel Roosevelt. "Others wish to
deal honestly by the people, but dis
trust the people, and although they
want to treat them fairly, desire to
give this fair treatment from the
standpoint of benevolent despotism,
which we regard as intolerable." He
added:
"These interests derive an immense
advantage from the injection into our
government of reactionary govern
mental and economic ideas by we'll
meaning judges OF overconservative
temperament, who unconsciously re-
spond to arguments advanced by
shrewd and able corporation lawyers.
Colonel Roosevelt's subject was
"The Ideals of Democracy" He spent
most of his time attacking the Judi
clal system Of the United States.

WHITMAN THREATENED
WITH BODILY HARM
Warned TO DaSist In His Graft
Investigation.

New York. Nov. 8. - Messages
threatening bodily harm and political
destruction have been received by Dis
trict Attorney Whitman since he be-
gan his investigation OF crooked cam
paign contributions. He admitted that
during the last week he has been get
ting these communications and that
personal appeals have been made to
him TO stop right where he Is.
The most startling thing about
these appeals Is that they have been
accompanied with the assertion that
If Mr.. Whitman persists In his present
course he will find that some OF his
best personal Z I'D political friends are
involved In the system that extracts
from state canal and highway con-
tractors contributions proportioned to
the amount of the contracts which
they secure.
II has been suggested to Mr., Whit
man that while the testimony so far
deals only with the Democratic organ
iEation, II Is more than likely that
there will b5 uncovered gigantic
scheme of graft In which other par.
ties may be involved, The threats
and appeals have come from botn
sides OF the political fence.

WILSON REGAINS
LOST GROUND
Banking Committee BaCkpedalS
On Two Propositions.
ONE REPUBLICAN VOTE HELPS

Secretary Of Treasury To Be Ex-officio
Member Of the Federal Reserve
Board, and Question as to Number
Of Regional Reserve Banks 10 Re-
opened-FeeIing In the Committee
Reported Running High.
Washington, Nov. 8. President
Wilson regained some Of the ground
lost by him in the struggle before the
senate committee on banking and cur
rency over the Glass-Owen money
bill. The committee, by a vote of 8
to 8, agreed to allow the secretary OF
the treasury to be ex-ofEicio member
OF the federal reserve board. The
three senators who voted in commit
tee against this proposal were all Re
publicans-Weeks, Bristow and Nc.
Lean. This action indicated change
of sentiment from a week ago, when
retary of the treasury would be eliml-
mated from the board.
Another advantage gained for the
presidents policy was when the COM
mittee, by vote OF to s, agreed to
reconsider and reopen the question as
to the number of regional banks,
which had been fixed heretofore at
four, with authority to the federal re.
serve board to increase this number
to 12 whenever they deemed 1t neces-
sary.
It is evident that Senator O'Gorman
Of New York and Senator Reed of
Missouri are gradually relaxing their
attitude of opposition to the presi-
dents plan. Most Of the session was
devoted to discussion of the motion
as to the number of regional banks.
Senator Crawford's plan to make the
federal reserve association a bank
with authority to discount paper prl-
marily, to make loans and to do
general banking business, was reject
ed. The proposal received only two
votes, those Of Senator Bristow and
its author.
From time to time the feeling in
the committee has been intense. 1t
was learned that Chairman Owen
served notice on his colleagues in the
committee that he was prepared to
abandon the hope OF making a unani-
nous report, and proposed to have
the bill go back to the senate on two
reports, majority report, to repre-
sent opposition to the administration
view, to be concurred in by the Re-
publicans and the three Democrats
who had been acting with them, and
a minority report signed by Mr.. Owen
and his three Democratic colleagues
Pomerene, Hollis and Shafroth, who
have been voting to sustain the ad-
ministration policy. Senator Craw-
ford, Republican, appeared over
come by the chairman's pronounce
ment and became conciliatory, but
Senator Reed of Missouri took his hat
and announced that he would not
longer sit at the committee meetings,
Before he had fairly cleared the com.
mittee room he was pursued by col
leagues and persuaded to return. The
real contest in the committee is eX-
pected to come on the proposition for
the public ownership and public con.
troll of the reserve association.

The prospects for an excellent bas-
ket-bail team are very good just at
present. Only one regular player has
been lost by graduation and there are
large number of last years subs.
Captain Sapp who was forced to stop
playing last year because of bad
health, will be in the game this season,
making the fifth excellent player.
Those who are the most likely to make
the team are: Shireman, center, Sapp
and Clayton forwards, and Porter and
Seymour guards. With this very
strong lineup 1t is expected the high

BAGGAGE

New York, Nov. 8. = Underwriters
Of marine Insurance refused to insure
baggage for government officers or

for points in Mexico. The reason
given for this step was that condi.

to prevent any insurance being under.

at a prohibitive rate.
