NO CELEBRATION OF
QUEENS BIRTHDAY
Emperor William Was to Have Been a
Guest of Honor at Queen Alexan-
dra's Observance of 10th
Milestone.

! Correspondence of the Associated Press
London, Dec. l9.-Plans Of King George
for a great celebration of the 10th birth
day of his mother, Queen Alexandra
were entirely set aside this year, on ac,
count of the war and she spent the day
quietly.
Among the guests who had been in
yited to attend the festivities planned
were Emperor William and the empress.
In connection with the queens birth
day it was recalled by many that the
marriage Of Queen Alexandra was the
first ceremonial function which the en-
peror ever was allowed 10 attend. He
then was a small and fdgety boy OF four
years. During the ceremony, his uncles,
the dukes of Connaught and Edinburgh
posted themselves on either side OF him
TO keep him quiet. When presently he
began TO shuttle his feet, the two unclcs
administered warning nudge. Where
upon, according to Bishop WHEREFORE

This Is Said to Be the Plan
of the Presi-
dent
HOPES BY 1916 TO
CLOSE WIGWAM
Clash Over Patronage May
Prevent Success of
Effort

Washington, Dec l0,-President WI
son has entered upon a plan OF starving
Tammany out of control of the Demo
cratic organization in New York state,
This is his chief purpose in ignoring SEN
ator O'Gorman's candidates for Office in
New York and appointing men who are
Endorsed by Secretary of the Treasury
1IcAdoo and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt. The presidents atti-
tude toward New York appointments is
part of the general plan for the 1916
campaign. At least one Tammany man
in Congress has been told by the presi-
dent recently that the wigwam need not
expect any recognition from the admin
stration. The president, it is under
stood. regards the old Democratic organ
ization in New York state as having
been discredited in the recent election
and intends to do what he can in the
way of bringing about a change. The
president apparently has reached the
conclusion that starvation treatment will
be the most effective, especially in view
of the fact that Tammany has lost con-
troll of both the state and city admins
trations.
1t has been the contention OF the men
who are advising President Wilson on
New York state politics that Charles +.
Murphy's control insult be completely
broken by 1916 il the Democrats hope
to regain New York and land the state
in the presidential contest, and this is
the advice upon which Mr. Wilson is
proceeding Even such staunch admin
istration supporter as Representative
Fitzgerald Of Brooklyn, chairman of the
House appropriations committee, is hay
ing difficulty about his appointments.
Secretary McAdoo seems to be the Moses
to whom the administration is turning
in the present New York state situat on.
His word goes further than that of any
other person in the matter of federal
patronage, and he is passing the plums.
The president has been told by some
Democratic members of the New York I
state delegation that Democratic success
in the Empire state two years from now

i'll feeling that has been aroused over
patronage is smoothed out.

New York, Dec ia movement has
been set on foot in this city for the pur.
chase of the Wright aeroplane patents
| by the United States government, and
the subsequent throwing open of the
rights to manufacture aeroplanes to all
concerns in the country. 0rville Wright
who is now in New York, has signified
! his approval of the plan, which is faith
| cred by Israel Ludlow, one of the pio-
neer workers in aviation. This action
coming at the present time, derives es-
pecial significance from the fact that a
number of foreign governments are look
ing for American made aeroplanes, pro-
viding they can secure the types they
want
The lifting of the ban of manufacture,
which was assured to the Wright com
pany last January in federal court de-

ers, it is said would be of the greatest
benefit to the industry. and would, in
addition, assure to Mr.. Wright the salts
factory recompense which is due him for
the invention which first proved TO be
a practicable flying craft.
Notwithstanding the circuit courts
judgment the Curtiss Aeroplane com
pany las continued TO manufacture and
sell machines, and the Wright company
las again appealed for an injunction to
prevent further infringement. The Cur
tss company has been ordered to show
cause Why the injunction should not is

Forty men of the German cruiser EN-
den were ashore on Cocos island when
their vessel was overtaken and sunk by
the Sydney Under the command OF
Lieut.. Muecke, they commandeered Co
eos island schooner loaded it with pro
visions and sailed away. A dispatch
from Manila Dec. l6 said these men later
captured a collier on which they mount
ed two Maxim guns, evidently taken with
them from the Emden, and began raid
ing commerce in the Pacific.
This report came through officers OF
the British steamer Malacca, which has
arrived at Jolo. II has not, however,
been confirmed from any official quarter.
Where they captured this collier has not
been diyulged. The Malacca. fearing that
she would be oyerhauled, made her way
into Jolo without showing lights This
would indicate that the collier has been
operating in the Pacific not far from the
Philippine islands.

Errors Cost the Game

Winona, Mimi, July 14.-In as pretty
a pitching duel as has ever been seen
on the local lot, Lefty Davis fast
climbing Champs annexed the third
game of the Fargo MOOrhead series
here yesterday by a score of 2 to 0.
ToraasOn the local sOuthpaw and
Maupin for the visitors were on the
mound for their respective Organiza-

and Toraason allowed but two hits in
the entire nine innings while Maupin
gave but three in the seven innings he
hurled giving way to DeRose as a pinch
hitter.
In the series just ended, the Grain
growers made but three runs while the
Champs totalled fifteen. Unglaub's men
secured fourteen bingles and the locals
twenty. Nine errors were charged up
to the visitors while the Champs play
ed errorless ball throughout the series.
Both teams made one home run.
Yesterdays game was a tight one
and runs came hard. WinOnR made one
in the first inning when they secured
two hits off Maupin, which coupled
with a sacrifice and a wild heave by
Anderson did the trick. There was no
sign of another score by either team
