North Harbour occurred at his home
on Branch street a few days ago.
There has been taken from our

won the kindness and sympathy of
all who knew him on account of his
physical ailment with which he had
been afflicted since infancy and was
a patient cheerful little sufferer up

met him in a body and paved their
last respects at the grave. The
little fellow had been in rather poor
health for the past few weeks, but
not serious until a few days before
his death he was struck in the head
with a stone thrown by another boy
and two days later he was taken
with spasms and spinal minnnigitis
developed which caused his death.
His bereaved mother and sister,
aged : have the sypathy Of the COM

WANTS DRY INAUGURATION.
Senator Gallinger Has Bill in Senate to
That Effect.

Washington.-A dry" inauguration
would mark President-elcct Wilson's in
duction into office If petition presented
in the senate by Senator GaHinger on
behalf OF the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Association is favorably acted
upon by congress. The petition urged
the closing of all saloons inthe national

Further action by congress will BE-
necessary If President-elect Wilson de.
sires to have public reception in the
capitol or any other government build
ing as q substitute for the inaugural
ball, to which he is opposed, in the
opinion expressed by members OF the
Joint congressional committee on inaug-
uration.
They contend that they have not the
power at the present time to make ar
rangements for the proposed reception.
The committee will be guided In its final
decision in the matter by Mr.. Wilson's
wishes.

HE SCORES BANKERS.
Wisconsin Man Says They Did Not On
derstand Reform Plan.


Washington Andrew J. Frame,
president of TIE Waukesha, Wis, Ma

reform committee that the scheme of
bank acceptances proposed by the mon
etary commissions plan would be dan
gerous, Chairman Glass asked why thu
American Bankers Association practi-
cally unanimously endorsed the plan at
its 1911 meeting in New Orleans.
Because" replied Mr.. Frame, most
of the members had not read the plan,
and those who wanted TO speak against
it were not allowed to get on the pro-
gram
Mr.. Frame submitted brief signed by
- bankers in widely separated sections
of the nation, proposing a central bank
with limited powers, or enlargement OF
the Aldrich-Vreeland act by extending
the right to issue uniform elastic cur
reney not only to national, but to state
and savings banks and trust companies
doing commercial banking.

TAKE UP APPOINTMENTS.
Republican Senator'S VIII Hold Caucus
to Consider Same.

republican Senators VIII Hold Caucus
to Consider Same.
Washington Republican senators are
considering holding caucus to take the
condition of business and appointments
in the senate. No Republican caucus
has bees held thus far this session be-
cause of the differences of opinion within
the party ranks.
Successive executive sessions Of the
senate have failed to bring action on
more than three or four of President
Taft's 1900 appointments. Republican
leaders have become convinced that they
must either get action upon them or
draw the lines so closely as to fix re-
sponsibility on the Democrats for the
delay.
The Legislative condition IN the senate
also is becoming serious enough for eau
Gus action, it is claimed. Democratic
senators will hold caucus to consider
the situation as it presents itself to
them.

ARMY ECONOMY DANGEROUS.
United States Would Lose Battle in
Philippines.

Washington.-Wo cavalry horses
and Inefficient Filipino teamsters would
prove a menace to American success in
the event of campaign in China or
the Philippines, in the. opinion OF Brig
Cen Frederick Funston, commanding the
department. of Luzon of the Philippine
division of the army.
Discussing these questions IN his an
nual report, Gen. Funston says: The
recent substitution of many of the
American teamsters by Filipinos, on the
score Of economy, is, from the stand
point of efficiency, most regrettable."
he points out that even where Filipino
drivers have the courage, they lack SELF
confidence, strength and skill, SO THAI
they will plunge down a bank and into

of their race, trusting more in their
mules to get Thorough somehow than in

q, s. AID FOR POST ROADS
President Finley Of Southern RaiIroea
ADVOCATES Appropriation.


Washington.-Th first meeting Of the
Joint congressional committee on fed
cral aid in the construction of post roads
was held here. Senator Bourne Of Ore.
gon presided and those heard in conneo-
ton with the proposition were w. w.
Finley, president OF the Soutfzrn Rail-
way; Alfred Noble, civil engineer Of
New York, and g. W. Cooley, state en-
gineer of Minnesota.
President Finley expressed the belief
that an appropriation of $25,OO0,000
would be enough to initiate the policy
OF federal aid. He thought the govern
ment should furnish half of the expense
of building roads, and that the federal
aid should be extended only upon roads
where there is large amount of traffic.
Mr.. Noble said that much Of THAI
money now expended in highway con-
struction is wasted through ! OK of COM
petent supervision.
Mr. Cooley contended that no federal
aid should be given any state until 10
has organized state highway commits

Attack of Min Interest Met Unex-
pected Response.
Washington.-Atta of mill interests
on the proposed Democratic revision of
the tariffs on textile manufactures has
resulted so far in virtual conclusion
of the ways and means committee ma
jority to strike lower rate OF readjust-
ment even than planned in the previous
Democratic cotton revision bills.
There will be substantial reduction
from the tentative cotton schedule basis,
running down as low as per cent on
the cheaper goods that the working
classes depend upon.
The English now have absolute con
troll of the market for the higher grades
Of bedspreads, and the American manu-
facturers supply the cheaper goods, ac-
eording to George 4. Tenney, of Glare
mont, n H., who advocated gradual
reduction OF the duty on lower grade
bedspreads and increasing duty on the
better ones.

congressman that such action would
mean no memorial provided at this ses-

FLAYS COMMERCE LAW.
Commodity Clause a Joke, Says Goa
rressman Stanley.

Washington. The commodities clause
of the interstate commerce law is jolSa
and a sham; it is open at both ends; Is
not worthy the paper it is written on,
said Representative A. 0. Stanley at .
public hearing before the house com
merce committee.
Representative Stanley was advocas-
ing the passage OF his bill aimed at the
United States Steel Corporation, to pro-
hibit mining or manufacturing conpa-
mics from owning railroads which trnrs-
port their goods. His measure was M
troduced last August as the result Of
the long investigation of steel corpora
ton affairs made under his direction.

the treatment of the naval militia az a
part of the regular navy in the same
way that the National Guard is now
related to the regular army. Enlist
ments in the naval militia would make
its members subject to call by the pres
ident in time of war. The bill has been

ment.

BAR CORPORATION GIFTS.

Washington.-The senate passed the
Culberson bill to prohibit corporations

The bill is an extension of the campaign
contribution law enacted in 1907 under
which corporations were forbidden to
contribute to general election campaign
funds.
A penalty Of $1,000, or years impris-
onment, for officers of corporations vio-
lating the law is carried by the bill.
