San ANTONIO. Tex, December IS.
San Antonio has seen her great pro-
cessions for the living and she has
buried her 'illustrious dead, but to-
night, in manner entirely different,
she prepared to give back to the
nation a son of toll whom death had
loaned her for feeting moment.

would have been the scenes of his
funeral cortege as. his mortal body
was started on its long Journey home.
With the pomp of a general, but
arso with the sentiments of the
humble, labor's late chieftain was to
be borne toward the rising sun by
grieving throng.
Paid Military Honors.
His last ride in this city of his
death was to be on an artillery cais-
son, and the last escort for the man
who had fought all his life, but
always In civilian clothes, was to be
composed of men in military uniform.
The Government, whose hands he
had upheld in peace and in war,
stepped in to claim the body for the
whole American people and through
the United States Army the American
people ofT1cially took back their dead.
Mr. Gompers' last words were.

tions.' and one OF those institutions

he belonged to them as much as to
anybody. Soldiers from Fort Sam
Houston were assigned to the escort.
Not only labor possessed him, they
said, but the country also. The music
of a military band and the rumble
of military carriage. were to be his
requiem. :
Sleeping in his great bronze cas-
ket in a flag-draped house of death,
the late president of the American
Federation of Labor, drew to himself

and the men of capital, those who

REPUBLICANS GRID

Will Battle With Progressives
for Control of Number
of States,
BUTLER DIRECTS PLANS
Will Retain in Skeleton Form
Party Organization of
Last Campaign.
BUTLER DIRECTS PLANS
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN.

Regular Republicans and the Inde-
pendent Progressives who followed d
Senator La Toilette in the last cam
paign, it appears, are girding up their
loins for the struggle which is to
come for control in a number of
the States, particularly as to con-
troll of party organization in the
Northwest. 1t Is in some of the
States of that section that the Pro-
gressives have been able to grab con-
troll of the Republican, Organization
and to work through it for the nomi-
nation and election on the Repub-
licans ticket of members of Congress
and State officers.
Plans are being made by Senator
Butler, chairman of the Republican
national committee. to continue dur
ing the interval before the next cleo
tion the party organization which
worked so effectively during the cam
paign-though, of course, in skeleton
form, very much reduced. It Is not
his plan to keep the country or any
part of 1t in the throes of a political
struggle. But the organization will
have its headquarters here in Wash
ington. 1t will be in position to aid
with speakers or with publicity sec
tions of the country which ask for
aid. The national committeer has
come out of the campaign not with
a deficit but with generous sur
plus. The national organization is
in position to continue the organiza-
tion in skeleton form.
Plans Of PrOgressives.
The progressives, on the other
hand, have just made ARRANGEMENTS
sive political action. which nominated
La Toilette for President, for a ma
tional convention to be held in Chi
cago in February. At that conyen-
tion plans will be made for continu-
ing the progressive movement
whether it take the shape of a third
party or continues to work in the
several States as 1t has in the past
boring from within. The progressive
hope that two years hence it will be
possible to strengthen their position
in Congress, possibly to regain the
balance Of power in the Senate and
House, which was lost in the last
election.
1t is to prevent just such a return
to power of the insurgents that the
Republicans Will work. In addition
to Chairman Butler, Roy West, sec
retary of the national committee. and
other party leaders were in Wash
ington yesterday. Plans for the fu-
ture are being considered, but in
formally.
In Wisconsin the domination of
the Republican machinery by the in
surgents is more complete than in
any of the other States, it is said.
But there are other weak spots,
among them North Dakota. In Wis
consin the Republican State COM
mittee was absolutely in the control
of the La Toilette followers. The
Republicans worked in Wisconsin
during the campaign through the
Coolidge and Dawes Club, an or
ganization of regular, Republicans.
This organization continues in ex-
istence and will be fostered and de-
.veloped for future use. In North
Dakota the Republicans were in bet
ter shape, but there they worked

Science

One Of the greatest marvels of
scientific progress is reported from
Liverpool, England, in the cure of
paresis.
A large percentage of the patients
who crowd the insane asylums are
afflicted with paresis, caused by the
same germ that causes locomotor
ataxia.
Paresis has been, up to the pres
emit time, incurable. The disease
starts with a slight tripping Of the
tongue-the slurring of words and
awkwardness in pronouncing COM
monly-used words. 1t goes on
through total insanity to death.
The cure is announced by Prof.
Warrington Yorke and DR.. J. w. s.
Macfie The patient is injected with
blood in which the mIldest form of
malaria parasite is living. 1t was
found. some time ago, that malaria
germs kill off the germs of paresis.
After the perfection of the injection
human experiments were made. The
doctors announce that the malaria
germs cure the patients of paresis
and give them malaria instead.
Malaria is then cured in theree days
by treatment with quinine-
