of factions which split it four years
ago.
T. RS Following.
1t is realized that of all of the pos
sibilities Colonel Roosevelt has the
greatest personal following but at the
same time he has the most enemies
The Republican leaders charged that
many voters would be alienated for
one or more of several reasons. The
conviction that Colonel Roosevelt
would not be able to unite the party
has led to general declarations in ia
vor of the nomination of some strong
man who may not have the popularity
of Colonel Roosevelt but whose NOM
nation would be a signal to the coun-
try that the factional strife has been
ended.
\ ozark Horse
The situation respecting both Roose-
Welt and Hughes contains all the nee
essary elements to produce a dark
horse candidate, but there are SO many
strong men among the 'favorite sons
that the possibility of the selection of
some one yet unmentioned is mini
mixed. All forces are careful not to
express hostility to Colonel Roosevelt
or to say anything which would make
it impossible for Progressives to come
back into the party. 1t is recognized
that Colonel Roosevelt can prevent the
nomination of any one or two men
who may be urged by Republican
leaders. but that should he attempt
to go further than this and. as some
say scratch the whole ticket" the
convention would be very likely to
proceed without giving further con-
sideration to his views.

EDITH FRE|VET7E
BOUND OVER To
SUPERIOR COURT

EVERETT, WASH, Dec. 14.-Pre-
liminary hearing of Mrs. Edith Fire.
nette, free speech sympathizer, who
was arrested on November 5 and
charged with first degree assault, took
place here Wednesday. Mrs. -~renette
is alleged to have drawn a gun and
when he was being carried to the hos
pital after having been wounded in
the affray at the docks.
The state had only two witnesses.
Sheriff McRae himself and an ex-spe-
cial policeman named John Moline
The contradiction between the testi-
mony Of the two witnesses was laugh
able. The sheriff said that he was
looking at Mrs. Frenette closely
enough to see that her lips were NOV
ing, at a distance of a few feet. We:
he did not see any gun in her hand.
The ex-policeman said that he saw
a gun in her hand and that he fol-
lowed her on the street looking for
an officer to have her arrested.
He did not dare denounce her then
and there, it seems, although the
streets were crowded viii deputies!
1t seems as though he only realized
that she ought to be arrested after a
good deal of thought: This appears
to be one of the crudest frame ups
which the hysterical Authorities have
produced as yet. Mrs. Frenette was
bound over to the superior court on
bonds of $4,000.
The counsel for the defendant
asked that the case be dismissed, on
the ground of insufficient evidence to
prove criminality. But the judge, ir
refusing to dismiss the case. indicated
so clearly his prejudice and that he
Fad not the moral courage to decide
for himself, but would shift it over
to a, jury anyway, that the attorneys
decided not to wet their powder by
introducing the witnesses for the de-

DAME FASHION
BANS SHORT SKIRTS

NEW YORK-Thc short skirt is
doomed. Hereafter, womcn's skirts
will be made longer and not SO wide.
This was the decree promulgated by
fashion experts gathered in the Wal
dorf- Astoria today.
Two distinguishing features have
marked styles in women's scenery
during the past year-the 'V'' hover
ing around ladies' threats and busts
and the view circulating about ladies'
ankles.
The short skirt is doomed. say the
fashion experts. The new skirt will
be longer and narrower, they assure
US.
Thus does unemployment among
the sidewalk germs cease to be a
serious caus for concern in Microbia
Skirts will be heightened and life
shortened. Dame Fashion has issued
her ultmatum and her DEGREES can
not be questioned, because nobody has
anything on her.

Who Wants o. Better Job
X7OU ask me how you can get better job.
My answer is that you can't
All over the country are millions OF young men men
who, in sort OF want better JOB: and here
and there among them the worthwhile few who
want the better job.
And the millions wonder why the few on while
they stand stationary year after year.
You must, first of all, pick out the better job-some
particular job that is better than yours Then train your
guns that and capture it.
You tell me that you bookkeeper and that you

road but whoever found my body would notice that my
face toward the summit.
Second: You never make anybody pay you more
money until you have more to sell.
advertise in a newspaper tomorrow morning and
have a hundred bright young here at eight o'clock
Each will have just much to offer me you have:
the two years OF high school, the experience
in keeping books the good record. Every one of
for $l2.
The only way you lift yourself of that sl5 class
by giving yourself equipment that the rest of the
fellows in that class don't have. In other words, by
tudy-by educaton-by specialized training
Third: When you have picked out the one particular
better lob that YOU want when you have fitted yourself
for it. then be careful of YOUR letter of application
If Judge Gary Charles NJ. Schwab applied for job
by letter tomorrow, they would get it in almost any big
written in lead pencil a sheet OF butcher paper.
Their personalities and abilities known. Yours
not Your letter is your representative. For heavens
sake, if have in you any spark OF originality that
other have not make your letter tiny bit different
from the other letters that the other will write.
Go downtown and pick out shade Of paper and size
of envelop that will be different Make your letter stick
among the hundred letters that your prospective
ployer will receive, that will be the first letter he
opens. When he does open it, be he finds it type
written, if you have to spend money you can ill
afford to spend.
Fourth: receive many letters of application; In one
form another, they usually say something like this:

or, al have mother to support" have been three
years in this place without raise and future
All of which interests me not at all.
For when it comes to spending my employers money
am fundamentally selfish.
Much as should like to give jobs to all the young
who have mothers to support who future where
they are, can not do it.
The only letter that read with interest the letter of
the young who has studied my business and who
points out to me how can make more money for my
employer by employing him.

but one detail l never delegate:
II make rule to all applicants for positions"

With Stones.

New York, Aug. S.-Settlement Of
the street car strike, which resulted
again on Sunday in complete suspen-
sion of surface car traffic in all the
boroughs of Greater New York except
Brooklyn, was announced by Mayor ].
P. Mitchell.
The announcement came after a
number of conferences, initiated by
Mayor Mitchell, with the cooperation
of Oscar S. Straus.
The men returned to work and serv-
ice was resumed on the entire system.
The Interborough Rapid Transit
company announced that all its EN-
ployees, numbering approximately r.
600, will receive 81 per day extra pay
until further notice. Traffic in the
subway and on the elevated railway
lines, which are controlled by the In
terborough, has been heavily increased
by the disturbed conditions on the sur
face roads.
The most serious demonstration
came when police reserves charged a
crowd of strike sympathizers, said to
have numbered at least 1000, who
were bombarding a street car with
stones and attempting to rescue pris-
oner from a patrolman. Women End
children hurled missiles form tene-
ment house roofs. Police reserves ar
rived and cleared not only the street
| but the roofs as well.
The police officials assigned two
men to car on some lines. The strike
lasted two days.

AVERT RAIL STRIKE.
EMPLOYEES AND MANAGERS Ac-
cEPT FEDERAL BOARDS Of
FER OF MEDIATION.
CONFERENCES START AT ONCE
Workers Leader Declares That Move
Does Not Mean Arbitration
Mediators Are Notified of Action
Taken--8egin Work.

New York, Aug. 11.-Acceptance by
the railroad brotherhoods on Wednes-
day of the proposal for mediation by
the federal board of mediation and
conciliation averted strike of 100000
railway employees.
After first refusing to listen to the
offer to accept mediation made by the
railroad presidents, the employees
leaders reconsidered and announced
that they, too, would consent to me-
diation, but not to arbitration.
Announcement Of the acceptance of
the offer was made by A. B. Garrett
son, head of the conductors brother
hood, after it had been delivered by
g. W. Hanger, member of the board,
following an appeal to that body TO in
tervene made by the railroad man
ayers. Mr.. Garretson said he had in
formed the board that the offer was
accepted on condition that sits GOOD
offices are promptly exercised"
The federal board, which is COM
posed of Mr.. Hanger, Martin A. Knapp
and Judge w. L. Chambers. was pre-
pared to begin conferences with the
respective sides to the controversy at
once.
The procedure of the federal board
is to meet each side separately. learn
its attitude and attempt to obtain con-
cessions from each as basis on which
settlement can be reached when they
are again brought together.
The step followed rejection by the
managers of the demands made by the
men.

APPOINTS MEXICAN ARBITERs
Secretary Lane and Justice 5randeis
Named by the President-Proce-
dure Is Agreed Upon.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Formal an
nounceInent was made ON Wednesday
by Acting Secretary Polk of the ac-
ceptance of General CarranZa's pro-
posal for a joint international COM
mission to seek n solution of border
disputes and to discuss other matters
which may help clarity relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Only the time and place for the con-
ference remain to be decided.
Secretary Lane of the interior de-
partment will head the Amrican COM
mission, supportd by Justice Louis
d. Brandeis of the Supreme court and
a third commissioner whose name will
be announced later.
The Mexican commissioners were
named several days ago.
The first subject will be withdrawal
of American troops from Mexico, to be
followed by negotiation on a protocol
covering future military operations
along the border.
1t is regarded as probable that the
meetings will be held at some resort
on the New Jersey Coast.
