Obituary
AARON HATHAWAY.

In the death of Aaron Hathaway,
Paw Paw loses another OF her most
aged and honored citizens. Like
many others of the older residents of
this community, Mr.. Hathaway was
a native of New York State. He was
born at Syracuse, New York on Janu-
airy 10th, 1885 and died at his home
in Paw Paw on September 10th, 1917
aged eighty-two years and eight
months. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gardner West Hathaway. His
father died when he was an infant
and his mother died when he was
twelve years old. This made it neces-
sary that he should launch out upon
his interesting and varied career very
early in life.
His first position was that of a
mule-driver on the Erie canal, when
he was but thirteen. He followed this
occupation for two years, and then
came to his brother at Lyons, Michi-
gan whom he assisted with farm
work for a year or so. Following
this, he travelled about the state for
short time selling mill-saws. But
he really engaged in the work of his
life when he went to Muskegon and
entered the lumber and saw-milling
business. He soon became related
with the c. d. Nelson Company of
Muskegon, and spent some fifteen
years in that capacity.
He was an expert lumberman in
his day. He was in great demand by
the big lumber concerns to go into
the great tracts of timber and esti-
mate the quantity and quality of the
standing timber and advise as to its
purchase. Many times he walked
alone up the Muskegon River to the
tracts beyond Cadillac with his camp
kit on his back, and spent as much
as three months at a time in the
heart of the woods estimating the

BROTHERHOOD HEADS
WERE In CONFERENCE

Washington, Nov. 22-Heads of
four railroad brotherhoods came here
today at President Wilson's request
to discuss with him their proposed
new demands for higher wages, The
president was prepared to TAXI up

rs the railroads are concerned, thav-
ing been formally notified the rpaj s.
will abide by any step he sees fit to
take.
An entirely new proposal, which it
is understood the brotherhoods fplan
to make, is that rail transpov etion
during the war, with respecs re-
lations to the carriers and 4 Aloyes
be dealt with, formation N new
federal commission t hat nplete
jurisdiction and power Aove lie corr
panies and workmen. They plan, r.
is stated, to ask the president to ap-
point such commission with plen-
inent official thoroughly conversant
with the transportation situation.
Opposition tb Intervention by the ex-
listing federal board Of mediation and
conciliation is understood to be one
of the factors in the proposal for a
new commission. The brotherhood
heads are said to be unalterably
ainst any plan which would give
the present board any power with re-
lation to wage demands. They want
new and distinct commission, SIM
liar to that now il. control for the
war of England's rail lines.
The brotherhood chiefs are also
asked to urge their claims for high
er wages, suggesting that the in
creased income either from the car
rier themselves or in war bonuses
from the government along the line
of the British bonus system.

ENTHUSIASM IS
WIDESPREAD IN
COMING GAMES
AVIATORS GETTING READY FOR
VICTORY WHEN THEY MEET
HEAVY TEAM FROM NATION
AL GUARD CAMP.

So much enthusiasm has been
manifest by the men of the aero
station that the people of Pensacola
look forward to banner game on
THANKSGIVING, when the boys from
the station clash with the heavy team
frc-, Montgomery. Although the boys
from Montgomery have already
played several games, the aviators
have full confidence that they will
carry home the bacon, and with this
game near at hand, Coach Haynes is
utilizing every moment to have the
boys in tip-top condition.
The officers at the yard have also
shown interest by allowing the after
noon for practice. Among those on
the team are many college stars. in

for tickets to the game, which. will
be a double header. In addition to
the great contest between the Army
and Navy, the High School team will
meet Barton Academy of Mobile.
Arrangements have been completed
to stage the game in Maxent Park,
the first game between the High
School and Barton to begin at 1
o'clock. The Army and Navy game
will open at 2:3O, and tickets win
admit to both games.
The naval band will play during
the intermissions at the quarters. and
every effort will be made by the en-
tertainment and sports committees of
the war recreational board to make
the game gala event.
Proceeds of the game will go to-
wards defraying the expenses of
bringing the visiting teams to the
city. Student tickets, and tickets for
men of the service are 25 cents, while
all other adult admissions are so
cents.
It is the first time in the history
of the city that so notable assembly
of grid stars has been scheduled to
play. What with the keen interest
at the station and the visiting SOL
diers from the Ohio state troops,
with laurels of their own, the game
will doubtless be well worth seeing.

National Committee Much
Encouraged Over Results
of Last Elections.
PENNSYLVANIA'S
RESULT NOTABLE
While Lea.locfats Gain, Re
publicans Suffer Net Loss
of Two Representatives
Pensacola Journal Bureau.
Washington, d. c.. Nov. %


The Democratic National Commit
tee is much encouraged over the fact
that in none of the districts where
9th was there any falling off in the
democratic strength, while in the
First North Dakota district and the
Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania district
disaffection in the republican ranks
was disclosed.
The election of Congressman Besh-
lin, democrat, from the Twenty
eighth of Pennsylvania by majority
of more than 1000 to succeed Con-
gressman Blakely, who was elected a
year ago by a republican majority of
1000, representing a change in IL
months of 5000 votes, is considered
by the Democratic National Commit
tee to be the most significant result
of the Congressional elections of No
vember 9th.
A statement issued by the head
quarters of the Democratic National
Committee here today cites the fact
that the republicans have suffered a
net loss of two members in the House
of Representatives since the last gen
eral elections of q year ago.
In addition to the reversal III the
Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania district,
where Congressman Blskely retired
shortly after election year ago
after entering plea of nolo con
tendere to an indictment for viola
ton of federal election laws, re-
publican vacancy in the First North
Dakota district was filled by the elec-
ton of John NJ. Baer, former demo-
cratic postmaster, who ran rs non
partisan candidate.
The statement of the Democratic
National Committee, reviewing tire
political situation, reads, in part, as
follows:
There have been seven congress
sional elections since the general
election of November, 1916, when
President Wilson was reelected. ST.
were held in districts that have usu-
ally elected republicans The seventh
occurred in the Fifteenth New YORK
district, where democrat was re-
turned.
"The strongly republican districts
in Connecticut and Massachusetts
voted true to form and elected re.
publicans to the vacancies.
''In the First New Hampshire dis
trict, formerly represented by the
late republican "war horse" Cy Sui
loway, the democrats reduced the nor
NAL republican majority by nearly
1000 votes.
"1n the Sixth Indiana district the
republicans elected one of their num-
ber, Congressman Elliott, to succeed
Congressman Comstock, republican,
deceased.
"The reversal in the North Da-
kota and Pennsylvania districts are
all the more marked when it is con-
sidered that combined majorities in
the six republican districts where va
cancies occurred were 32,374 a year
ago.
Even more significant as an indi-
cation of decreasing republican
strength is the result in the recent
mayoralty election in Greater New
York. There has been much specula-
ton as to the source from which Nor,
ris Hillquit, the socialist candidate,
obtained his increased vote. A COM
parison of the mayoralty vote with
the presidential vote of 1916 makes
