Jacob Mussis Home After Four
Months in Fatherland.-JacobM ussig,
who lived in Rockingham before he
left for Germany last summer, has re-
turned to Davenport after five months
in Europe. Mr.. Mussig left for Ger
many July 5, to visit his brother and
sister at his boyhood home at Baden.
He was there when the war broke out,
and has since had a cousin wounded
at the front. The war restricted his
travels to Heidelberg. Frankfort,
Mainz and other places at no great
distance from the old home, and he
sailed from Rotterdam finally for
America. The Pottsdam, on which he
secured passage, underwent the usual
inspection by British officials and Mr..
Mussig saw the guns of hostile war
ships, and mines scattered alongside
the narrow lanes of travel reserved
for the passenger vessels, from just as
close as he desired to be. He is
heartily glad to be back in Davenport. |

AT THE HOUSE OF LAUGHS

To make good its reputation of being
the house of laughs" the Orpheum
started the new season right by in
stalling a lineup of Keith talent that
is mirth provocative almost through
out. There are however, two excep-
tions. and one of these is a really splen-
did musical feature and the other is a
neat singing skit. Every other act on
the bill is a laugh ringer, the climax
of which is headed by the Irresistible
comedy playlet called Hiram on the
Farm" disporting Fred Ardath and
company. Mr.. Ardath is seen in the
role of Hiram, a real country. up-up,
and the riot of fun he creates from the
time an "opery" troupe with a pretty
girl arrives in that section, until he be-
comes engaged to her, serves to keep
the house in constant laughter Hiram
is a real "rube" alright, and lie handles
his absurdly funny lines and awkward
situa tions to the unrestrained laugh
ter of all Almost every type of coun-
try folk is depicted in the act, there be-
ing a cast of seven players required for
the playlet An elaborate rural setting
also adds to the alism of the sketch
Another laugh ringer is no less than
Harry Cooper, late star of the big
musical comedy success, "Hanky
Panky." Mr.. Cooper is a Hebrew COM
edian of some consequence, and until
he passes the examination for mail
carrier and tells his troubles of deliver
ing mail in an Irish community, he is
good for one long laugh. Pretty girls
plenty of good. wholesome fun, and va
riety aplenty, help make the offering a
deserving one.-Advertisement.

DISAPPEARING ROOT
Tells Official Republican State
Convention Roosevelt Theo-
ries Are UntenabIe
Special to The Telegraph

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 19.-Senator
Elihu Root, in addressing the unoffi-
cial State convention of the Republi-
can party, yesterday, said the Pro-
gressive party was disappearing. He
forecast the return to power in the
State and the nation of the organiza
ton that was rent in twain by the
Progressive movement.
In opening the convention as tenn
porary chairman, Senator Root at
tackled the initiative, the referendum
ana the recall as untenable theories
that point to political salvation but
lead elsewhere. He advocated a re-
vision of State Legislative laws by
which the Governor and his cabinet
would be given power to sit with the
Legislature and to initiate, but not to
vote on bills. plank somewhat to
this effect, was included in the tenta-
tive platform submitted by the COM
mittee on resolutions.
The tentative platform indorses "a
substantial reduction in the number
OF elective officials by the application
of the principle of the short ballot"
Other planks provide for safeguard
ing the issuance and method of re-
tirement of State bonds and reforms
of judicial procedure.
The platform assails various policies
of the Progressive party. The initia-
tive, the referendum and the recall, it
is said would diminish, not increase,
official responsibility and necessarily
Complica1e the machinery of State
government The recall of judicial
decisions and judges is condemned un-
sparingly.
Loud applause greeted that part of
Senator Roots speech relating to the
question asked of Harvey d. Hinman
whether he would support the Re-
publican nominee for Governor in case
of his own defeat in the primaries.
Mr. Humans candidacy has been in
dorsed by Colonel Roosevelt.
Every Republican who votes at the
primary election" said Senator Root,

less he is willing to do that No man
can honestly vote at a primary intend
ing to accept the result If he succeeds
and to repudiate 1t If he fails"
He charged that since the Demo-
Gratis took possession of the national
government year and a half ago,
with a program "by which they pro
posed to set free every American from
the incubus of too great success by
others, to reduce the cost of living and
to give new life and prosperity to
American production and commerce" "
they had failed.
He took up particularly the expert
m ents with the tariff and attacked the
Democratic program in relation to the
financial system and the control of
trusts and corporations.

NJ REYNOLDS SLATED
FOR SUPREME BENCH
President Names Attorney General
For Vacancy and 7. w. Gre
CORY as His Successor
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, Aug. 19.-The first
change in President Wilson's cabinet
was announced to-day when the Pre-
sident planned to send to the Senate
the name of Attorney General James
Clark McReynolds to be Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States succeeding the late JUS
tice Horace Harmon Lurton. At the
same time it is expected Thomas
Watt Gregory, of Texas, who, as spe-
cial assistant Attorney General, has
handled the New Haven case, will be
of the appointees expect no serious
opposition.
The President originally wanted to
name Secretary Garrison, of the War
| Department as Attorney General. Mr..
| Garrison was for long time on the
| bench in New Jersey. The President
decided, however, that he could not
at this time part with the experience
and ability of Mr.. Garrison in the
War Department.
While it is known that there will
be some opposition to Mr.. Mercy
nold's confirmation, poll of the
Senate made by Senator to ascer-
tain the feasibility Of having his ap-
pointment confirmed without pro-
tracted fight showed that it would
be limited to a handful of radicals.
Mr.. McReynolds first attracted
General attention by his break with
Attorney General Wickersham over
the dissolution of the tobacco trust.
In that case Mr.. McReynolds differed
from his chief in thinking the dis
solution decree of the Supreme Court
was far too gentle in its terms
Slow in New Haven Case
His disagreement on that point
won the approval of the advanced
wings of both parties, and it is hardly
too much to say that ii was a de-
OF. m n n IaH
the President to put him at the head
of the Department of Justice. But
some of the same men who most
loudly applauded his stand on the
tobacco trust case felt he did not
force events fast enough in the New
Haven case. and it is few of these
who will attempt to prevent his con-
firmation.
Recently he opposed the Interstate
Commerce Commissions examination
of the New Haven officials who might,
on account of their testimony before
the commission, later claim i'm
munity in court This led to a SER
ious clash between Mr.. McReynolds
on one side and Mr. McChord of the
commission and Senator Norris, of
Nebraska; Louis d. Brandeis, special
counsel. aSSd Ex-Governor Folk, of
Missouri, chief counsel for the COM
mission. AT a conference on the sub
ject in the Attorney Generals office
the difference become so personal
that Mr.. McReynods virtually order
ed Mr.. Folk out of the building.
Mr.. Gregory was born at Craw-
fordsville, Mississippi, on November
6, 1861, and was graduated from the
Southwestern Presbyterian Univer-
sity. Later he took a special course
at the University of West Virginia.
was admitted to the bar of Texas
in 1885 and practiced law in that
State for several years. In 1892 he
declined appointment as assistant
Attorney General and in 1895 as Dis
trct Judge. In 1904 he was a dele
gate to the Democratic National con-
vention. He is a trustee of the Aus
tin Theological Seminary.
