Wilson Not the Only One.

One other president than Wilson
traced his line TO Carlisle. England;
for Zachary Taylor was fifth in de-
scent from James Taylor Of Carlisle,
who emigrated to this country in 1868.
Considering the fairly uniform British
extraction Of our presidents, few in
deed could have gone TO the homes Of
really near ancestors In the British
isles. Andrew Jackson Is the only one
whose father was born there. the elder
Jackson having come from Carrickfer-
gus, Ireland, decade before the Rev.
olution. Grant is not particularly dis.
tinguished in that his family had been
American in all its branches for eight
generations; as much could be said or
others. 1t seems appropriate that the
first president in Office to VISIT the
mother country felt so intimately the
les OF blood thar originally gave It
the name Of mother country.--New

STRIKE VOTED Off
Kansas City Railway Men Held
Secret Meeting Last Night.
Refusal of Strike Benefits by
Officers Is Given as Cause.

Kansas City, Dec. 1.-As suddenly
and Unexpectedly as it began Satur
day, the strike of fifteen hundred
railroad switchmen in the local yards
was called off early today. The action
was taken at a secret meeting, which
began yesterday and lasted far into
the night when, it was understood, a
proposition sponsored by more con-
servative members of the unions to
end the walkout was put to a voteand
carried.
Newspaper men were denied admit
tance to the hall and first reports were
that the conference had adjourned un-
til tomorrow without taking action.
At 1890 o'clock this morning, how
ever, a delegation of,strikers appeared
at the office of w NJ. Corbett, general
manager of the Kansas City terminal
railway, and announced the men were
ready to return to work.
Reasons for the decision were not
forthcoming but it was understood an
announcement at the meeting by G.
w. Anderson of Cleveland, a vice pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen that the strike was un-
authorized, and that strike benefits
would be withheld had considerable to
do with the final action.
Dissatisfaction with the present
wage scale and with the outcome of
the recent conference of national un-
ion officials in Cleveland was respon-
sible for the strike, it is said The two
day walkout paralyzed freight ship
ping in the local yards. Passenger car
switching was not affected, however,
the railroads using emergency crews
to move the trains.
Switching crews were returning to
the yards on scheduled time this
morning and it was expected that ter
minal conditions soon would be nor

SOME RELIEF At SALINA
Coal administrators Is Able 10 sSecHre
ss.sssse Results. ~ *

Salina. Dec. AFTER thirtyssix
hours work by the fuel administration
in Salina the coal situations is i'm
proved. The coal dealers are cooper
ating with the office and the railroads
deliver coal to the administrator where
they would not deliver to dealers. The
administrator, George H. Meyer, OBJ
tanned two cars of coal,yesterday after
noon. 1t was distributed in 500
pound lots to homes out of coal. Mr..
Meyer expects one or two more cars
tomorrow. He furnished two of the
larger hotels who were out with coal.
The Elks club has voluntarily closed
and its entire supply of thirty-five tons
placed at the disposal of the admin
istrator. About thirty of the fifty cars
promised by the Union Pacific have
reached this city, but Salina has re-
ceived few of them, all being sent to
western towns. The coal now coming
in is from Colorado.
