JOINED ECONOMY CROWD
Plan to Get Rural Mail Carriers By
Contract.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY J. e. JONES

Washington, D. C.-The postoffice
department has joined the economy
crowd, and as a result the increase OF
salaries for employees Of rural free
delivery service has not gone into
effect, and probably will not for some
time to come. The postmaster gener-
al Is advocating new plan to put
the entire rural mail service into the
contract class, as has been the policy
with reference to the so-called star
routes. Postmaster General Burleson
states that BY doing this the govern.
meut would save twenty million
dollars year.
Colorado Coal Strike.-The presi-
dent has enlisted as a strike breaker,
and is using bis efforts in an attempt
to settle the big Colorado strike,
which has been in progress for several
years. Mr.. Wilson has told the
operators who visited Washington
that they should wave all technlcal-
ties aud look only to the main
proposition OF re-establishing normal
conditions in the Colorado coal fields.
When President Roosevelt interveped
to settle the great anthracite strike
In Pennsylvania, John Mitchell ap-
peared expressly as representing the
miners. That strike was settled in
accordance with the principle that
each man, whether a union member
or not, had q right to contract fol
his labor with his employer. This
incident is urged In behalf of the
appeal being made by the President
and outsiders for mutual concessions
from employers aud employees alike.
The War Tax.-Republicaus are in
sisting that there would have been a
deficit Ia government revenues, even
thongh there had been no European
war, and while they are willing to
submit to the steam roller process BY
which more than one hundred million
dollars revenue is to be raised, yet,
Ia view OF the fact that the fall elec-
tions are but few weeks away, they
are going to make all the noise posi-
be to have it appear that the Under
wood tariff is as much to blame as
the break In foreign commerce.
More Retrenchment.-The secre
tary Of agriculture has instructed all
chiefs 10 the department to retrench,
and to keep all their work within the
emergency restrictions. Therefore
there will be no attempt at extensions
OF projects until the government
money market has improved.
When Mark Hanna Was Alive
When Mark Hanna was alive, he bent
every effort to secure ship subsidies
and most of the country was of the
opinion that the Ohioan had simply
invented new method by which tt
loot the treasury. But years have
come and gone since Marcus trod the
floors Of the senate. and Uncle San
still stands stock still on the path
ways Of the high seas. Statesmen
are beginning to realize that 1t IL
necessary that there be some sort o'
government aid, II private enterprise
Is to invest its capital IN steamships
The German and British govern
ments devised many plans to make
their shipping supreme upon the hlgf
seas, and while Uncle Sam looks
wlstfully out across the waters, M
still confines his efforts to press
agency work-and this is getting tt
te somewhat of q s'chesnut."

Duke Nicholas, commander in chief
Of the Russ.an army The grand
duke returned the letter with the
comment:
"If you comply our armies will

RAPID GROWTH
Of bUDDED
PECAN TREE
IN SEVEN YEARS TREE HAS BORN
MAGNIFICENT NUTS IN THIS
CITY. PECAN INDUSTRY MAY
MAKE ARDMoRE GREAT.

On statehood day, March 9th, 1907,
Col. Sidney Suggs planted some bud
ded pecan trees on his lot on n. Wash
ington street, and yesterday from one
of those trees he gathered five dozen
fine paper shell pecans Of immense
size.
The pecan industry of this section
of the state is beginning to attract
attention. o. X. Darden at Lone
Grove has been budding trees for
several years and now has an orchard
that will insure him a steady income
the rest of his life. 1t takes about
twelve years to get a pecan orchard up
to where it will pay as bearers of
fruit, but the trees are hardy and con-
tinue to bear for many years. Some are
known in their wild state to be over
100 years old. Ardmore may yet be
known as the pecan center OF the
United States.

Turkey Apologies

London, Nov. 3.-The grand yizier of
Turkey apologized yesterday on be
half of his government for the war
like operations of the Turkish fleet
under German commanders in the
Black Sea, but it was said authorita-
lively that the Porte will have to go
very much farther than this before
the powers of the Triple Entente will
agree to resume friendly relations
with the Ottoman government.
1t was disclosed in a statement is
sued by the French government Mon
day evening that Turkey, in reply to
note presented by Russia, France
and England, on Friday last, agreed to
recall her fleet from the Black Sea,
but refused to dismiss the German
officers from her ships, and that as
it was believed she could not maintain
passive attitude without doing this,
the ambassadors of the entente pow
ers demanded their passports and
they have left Turkey.
There is every reason to believe that
despite the apology of the grand vizier
which, it is understood, comes from
the peace party in the Turkish cabi-
net, and may not be adhered to by
Enver Pasha. the minister of war, and
his Young Turk followers, France.
Russia and Great Britain not only will
demand reparation for the warlike
operations of the Turkish fleet in the
Black Sea, but will insist that Tur-

LANDSLIDE

CANAL TRAFFIC
cULEBRA CUT AGAIN oBsTRUcT.
ED BY ANOTHER LANDSLIDE -
OBSTACLE WILL BE REMOVED
PROMPTLY.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The Panama
canal mas been closed to navigation
ry another landslide. Col. Goethals
hopes TO have it open again by We'd
nesday.
Co. Goethals cabed the canal COM
mission late Monday:
Rapid movement of slide material
in the break north of Gold Hill
locked the channel Saturday Hope
to open channels by Wednesday,"
As understood at the canal offices,
this slide is only an aftermath OF
the big slide of October II, when
nearly three-Quarters of a million
yards of earth and rock slowly slipped
from the hillside down into the
canal prism A channel was
promptly cut through this material
Col. Goethals has stated that there
is no known way of stopping these
landslides in Culebra cut; tS>t the
engineers must content themselves
with removing the material as fast
as it falls into the canal until the
strata of earth and rock above .u,
permanently adjusted themselve
the change in their base caused by
the digging of the canal. This pro-
cess may go on for many months,
1t is said however, that navigation
of the canal will not be seriously in
terrupted for more than a few days
at a time.

the end came. Two other children,
Mrs. George French Hamilton, wife of
an army captain, and Adna r. Chat
fee. Jr., lieutenant in the army, are

General Chaffee was born in Ohio
in 1912 and entered the service as a
private soldier in the Sixth cavalry in
July 1861. In March, 1868, he was
commissioned second lieutenant, be-
coming a first lieutenant in February,
1865. and bore the rank of captain at
the close of the war. He took part in
all the campaigns of the army of the
Potomac, being severely wounded at
Fairfield and Brandy station, and was
breveted for gallantry at the battles
of Gettysburg and Dinwiddie court
house Following the Civil war he was
engaged much of the time in cam
paigns against the hostile Indians on
the frontier. He was with General
McCoOk in the department of Arizona,
as inspector general, and then was
sent to Fort Leavenworth as instruc-
tor in tactics. At the breaking out of
hostilties with Spain he was instruc-

been given command of a brigade, the
fight was opened by him, and his
men bore the brunt Of 1t throughout

in a hot chase after Indians, used to
be: Follow me, men, and every man
that's killed I'll make a corporal"

ed at Fort Riley. He was there first
as a captain and it was then that he
met Annie Rockwell, whose home was
in Junction City. In 1875 Miss Rock
