That this method and treatment are

thousands OF testimonials on file from
patients all over the United States who

trip through the Mediterranean wa
tiers, have reached New York. Five
thousand sailors were paid Off at that
port and will spend the holidays there
unless developments in Mexico make
the presence OF the vessels in south

rival of the fleet comes the announce
ment that Admiral Winslow will haul
down his pennant as second in COM
mand and will wait orders from the
navy department as to his future du-
ties. It is understood that he is to be
the next commander-in-chief of the

who will direct it's passage through

GOVERNMENT SHOULD
CONTROL ALL WIRES
Bur|eson for Federal Ownership
Of Telegraph and Telephone.

Washington, Dec. ia sweeping
declaration in favor of the principle
of government ownership of telephone
and telegraph lines and an assertion
that the postal service now is self
supporting for the first time since
1888 are features of the annual re-
port of Postmaster General Burleson.
= Mr.. BurlesOn says the government
has demonstrated its capacity to con-
duct public utilities and from his
present information he is inclined
clearly to the taking over by the post
office department of the telegraph and
telephone lines. The postmaster gen
eral says:
GA study of the constitutional pur-
poses Of the postal establishment
leads to the conviction that the post
office department should have control
over all means of communication of
intelligence ...'=.. !. .
''The successful operation of the
parcel post has demonstrated the ca
pacity of the government to conduct
the public utilities which fall properly
within the postal provision of the con-
stitution. ..%" 49,.
Every argument in favor of the
government ownership of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force in favor of the gov
eminent ownership of telephone
lines.' ..-

RAILROADS WILL

Drop Objection to Minnesota
Distance Tariff Law.
ONE ROAD IS UNDECIDED

Minneapolis and St. Louis Has Been
Enjoined by Federal Courts From
Putting Reduction Into Effect and
Is Liable for Contempt.
st. Paul, Dec. tS.-Minnesota rail-
roads, with the possible exception of
the Minneapolis and st. Louis and
some of the logging roads, will adopt
the eastman distance tariff Jan.
without further demur
This information has been obtained
from authoritative sources and means
that the Class A carriers have decid-
ed that there is no way by which
they can attack the rate schedules at
this time. The decision has been
reached after two weeks of almost
continuous conferences. Carriers
earning less than $4,000 per mile are
TO be given a hearing in a few days.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis, it is
said, is still undecided as to the ac-
ton it will take, as the supreme court
decree enjoined it from putting in
lower rates, the action having been
instituted by stockholders. Should it
establish the new schedule it is said
that the directors might be liable for
contempt for violating the Injunction
and as a result it is likely that the
circuit court will be asked to pass
on the matter.
The state commission does not take
seriously the reported complaint Of
lumber manufacturers Commissioner
Elmquist said that the new schedules
only boost the rate from Little Falls

LESS DELEGATES
FROM THE SOUTH
Tentative Plan for New 6.
0. P. Representation.
TOTAL CUT OF SEVENTY
Under Scheme Submitted to Commit
tee the Southern States Will Lose
zion and Northern States Eight. ,


Washington, Dec. 1s.-Only two
propositions remain to be acted upon
by the Republican national commit
tee, which is considering reform meas.
ures planned to reunite the party.
The problems were to clear the par
ty convention machinery of certain
features and to reduce representations
in national conventions from South
ern states and congressional districts
which are regarded as overwhelming
ly Democratic
A special subcommittee headed by
National Committeeman Warren OF
Michigan agreed upon plan Of reap
portionment providing for four dele
gates at large from each state, one
from each congressional district and
one additional from each district
where the total Republican vote was
80 per cent or more of the total vote
cast
No district, however, would have
how large the Republican vote.
States having congressman at large
would be entitled to one vote for each.
The congressional election of 1910
probably will be used as the basis for
determining the exact representation
in each state. The plan would become
effective when ratified by states rep
college.
New Apportionmen Plan.
Under the Warren plan representa-
ton in national conventions would be
reduced by seventy delegates.
The following named states would
lose the following number of dele
gates: Alabama i, Florida 2, Georgia
s, Louisiana 7, Mississippi 8, North
lima 7, Tennessee 4, Texas IA, Vir-
ginia 5, total loss for the South, 81;
Illinois 2, Kentucky l, New Jersey l,
New York d, total loss for the North 8.
The subcommittee unanimously
agreed on the 80 per cent plan.
The subcommittee presented a
unanimous report for a modification
of the party's rules, providing for the
recognition of state primary laws, the
acceptance Of the right of a state to
choose all or part of it's delegates at
large to national conventions and
agreed that in future conventions dele
gates presenting certificates from
proper state authorities should be
placed on the temporary convention
roll.
This plan was adopted by the ma
tional committee by unanimous vote.
