500 GOOD JOBS HANG

ton Of Lower Body. -.

A million dollars worth Of patron
age Ia at stake at the south end OF

Republican party controls and or

500 Jobs at Stake.
In round numbers. the House has
on its stan about 500 employees. II
takes well along toward Ave pages
In the Congressional Directory to
list the names OF House officials and
employees.

to about 5000 worth OF patronage. BY
patronage" Is meant the business OF
job holding for ones political hench-
men. Patronage" sounds more euphe-
mistlc than the hArsher terms usually
applied.
II can be said without betraying any
confidence that the corps OF office hold
ers and employees now on the House
payroll Is today In an excessively nerV-
Gus state. II will continue In that con-
dltion until the new House Is organ
lied some time In 1917. The nervousness

BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov. l. Presi- dent Wilson in his first appearance in New York state since the campaign opened. declared tonight that the Un- ited States is not afraid to fight and is not disciplined to fight for the ob- jects for which it was founded. He opposed sectionalism and said the des tinies of peace and war should not be used for partisan advantage. The Adamson law he said was one of the greatest pieces of legislation.
 A political demonstration was stag ed tonight during the Presidents ride from his hotel to the hall In the au- tomobile he proceeded along streets lighted by fiaring red lights. A band played marital music. The sidewalks were lined with people. The hall was packed. As the President arrived at the hall the people stood waving flags and cheering.

 Tuesday afternoon the little girl was taken to the hospital in what was considered a hopeless condition. The medical staff of the institution operat- ed on the child to avoid the baleful effects of peritonitis which had set in. The trouble. however. had gone too far and Alma was given up yesterday afternoon by the surgeons in attend ance upon the case.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-The world cham pion Boston American baseball team was sold tonight to Harry H. Frazee of New York. and Hugh Ward of Phil adelphia. Joseph j. Lannin of this city, former owner of the club. who announced the sale at dinner given to the. new owners and newspaper men, said the papers had been signed less than half an hour before. The price was not stated, both parties agreeing to keep silence on that point.
 Mir. Frazee and MT. Ward are both identified with athletics. the former being principal owner of the Cort Theatre of Chicago. and the Longacre Theatre of New York.
 Wm. Carrigan. who has guided the team for the last three years, an- nounced his retirement at the con ciusion of the worlds series games last month. but Mir. Frazee said he would hold the position of manager open for Carrigan and hoped he would consent to lead the team another year The executive stan of the club will be retained intact

Hughes Says Adamson Bill
 Is q Gold Brick to Labor

1 Pennsylvania lines east, that the Ad- amson bill in establishing a new bas- is for reckoning wages, will eliminate the payment of all arbitraries which are based upon time made within the first eight hours period of service.
 "The uncertainty of the law is rec ognized in various particulars. What it will be decided to mean no one can tell, as it is possible to construe 1t in several different ways. The chair man also adds: This law does not change the application of the hours of service. The company still has the right to work you Is hours within any "A hours if they so desire.'
 'I note that the chief of one of the locals of the brotherhood has ascer- tained the effect of the law on those who complete their run in less than eight hours. He says that if a man makes a hundred mile run in five hours instead of getting his full days pay he will get only five-eights of days pay when paid on the eight hour basis. He also says that formerly the railroad men were entitled to pay for 25 miles whenever called out, wheth- CT they were used after reporting or not But the Adamson bill enacts a fiat basis of eight hours for the pur- pose of paying compensation, while on the other hand it does not estab- fish an eight hour work day.
 q think it will be found that the Adamson bill is a gold brick for lab or.
 "We have won a great deal in this country in getting free institutions and when you summarize it all. it merely means the rule of public opinion, af- ter discussion. according to what We think are the merits of the case. It does not mean rule of force at all. That will knock everything out. You will not have any work at all if that idea once gets abroad in this country.
 q am for the merits of the case and l am for proceeding according to the rule of reason. will go to the last fact to find out what should be done, and I will do it according to what I believe ought to be done and I wont budge an inch for anybody in re- sponse to force"

 The decision to continue the con ferences at Atlantic City was taken to indicate conviction of at least part of the commissioners that an agreement on some form of border control would be reached soon. Noth- ing regarding the character of the de cisions was announced today.

 When the officers were acquainted with the case the object of their search had entirely disappeared. At late hour last night. in spite of all efforts the rooming house of the man had not been determined. An accur- ate description has been obtained. however. and this has been sent broad cast. It is currently thought that he is in hiding at some point in the Dis trict. Every outgoing train is being watched and close tab is being kept on the automobiles coming into and going out of the community.
 Though badly injured it is thought that Mahan will recover. though in all probability it will be necessary to perform a difficult and hazardous op- eration to remove the bullet from the wounded man.

Eads Locks Arms
 With Hunt In His { Race for Congress
Forsakes Republican Vehicle for Democratic Band Wagon and Charges Hayden with Trying to Down Governor.

PHOENIX, Nov. 1.-The greatest political sensation of the campaign is expected in the morning when the Arizona Labor Journal will be of the press with a paid advertisement from Henry L. Eads, Republican candidate for congress, advocating the election of George W. P. Hunt as governor and himself as congressman.
 This morning the Arizona Republi- can, published by Dwight B. ieard of Phoenix. printed an editorial in which it endorsed the candidacy of Carl Hay den for congress.
 Close upon the heels of this, Eads, who is in Tucson tonight, sent to the Labor Journal copy for an advertise ment. It is said the advertisement will allege that Heard, of the Repub- lican, Ned Creighton, of Phoenix, and Carl Hayden and others are in a working combination to defeat Gov ernor Hunt. Eads advises all Repub- licans, in his advertisement, to vote for the present Governor and himself for congress.

 This is one of the most composite nations of the world. We are drawn from every stock. Therefore there is no nation better called to see that there is no division in the mass of humanity.
