A Cornell freshman has discovered a way of living on S5 cents a week. Cpllege students have some queer fads. South African natives are said to be adopting European clothing.

TAFT ON CANAL PLAN FAVORS THE SUBMISSION OF TOLL QUESTION TO THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL.

PRESIDES AT OWN "WAKE" President Tells Cause of His Political "Demise" and Attacks the Enemies He Holds Responsible' for His Taking Off. New York, Jan. 6. President Taft declared himself as unequivocally in favor of arbitrating the Panama canal tolls in event the pending negotiations between Great Britain and the United States fail "to bring about a settlement. He hopes, however, that the question will be settled before his administration comes to an end. The president's first public declaration of his attitude on the question was made at a luncheon given in his, honor by the international peace forum. Later, at the Republican "reorganization" dinner, he presided at what .he styled his own political "wake." He made the funeral oration over his political corpse, asked modest praise for his deeds during the time he lived at the Ivhite House, recited at length the causes that led up to his "demise" and attacked the enemies he held responsible for his taking off. In the course of this speech the president made his first public reference to Colonel Roosevelt since the campaign, saying that probably 1,000,000 Republicans voted for Wilson "to avert the danger of Roosevelt's election." In Answer to Clews. The president's remarks on the Panama question apparently were prompted by a declaration in a speech by Henry Clews, banker, asserting that for President Taft's administration "to concede the right to arbitrate the difference would be a splendid achievement," but holding that "we are in the wrong and would most likely be defeated if it should go to The Hague for decision." Referring to the Panama canal treaty the president, ho had said at the outset of. his remarks that he rose "with mingled feelings of sorrow ' and pleasure," continued: "Mr. friend Mr. Clews differs with me and with the administration in the constructions of that treaty. That is al1 right. I suppose questions before have arisen as to construction of contracts in which good, honest people have been on both sides. Now that presents to me a very significant and useful exam pie. with respect to arbitration. A good many people are saying: 'Don't arbitrate, because you are going to lose. This is our own canal, and while England is making a point of it, England would not fight about it, and therefore why give up when you are not likely to get an arbitration that will be satisfactory to you and your view of the construction ?' Just the Right Time. "Now then even if this view were correct as to probability of result, which I need not admit is just the time when I am in favor of an arbitration. I mean that 1 had not gone about the country urging arbitration for the purpose of using that as a platform subject to attract the attention and approval of the audience. "I hope I was more conscientious in advocating what I did advocate throughout the country under thajt head, and when I said that we never would have an arbitration that would be effective until we entered into an obligation that brought us into arbitration when we did not think we would win. That is the time that tests your faith in that method of settlement." Mr. Taft warmly denounced the senate in connection with the defeat of the proposed arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France. "Once in awhile," he said, '"there comes an opportunity that seems to be a great step forward and when that opportunity is lost, when the step which might have been taken is not taken, the hearts of those whose hopes were high are saddened." AVIATOR SETS NEW RECORD Arthur Faller Makes Duration Flight of 1:06:05 at Mülhausen, Germany, in Biplane. Mülhausen. Germany, Jan. 6. Arthur Fuller, the aviator, exceeded by five seconds the world's record for a duration flight in a biplane, carrying five passengers. His time was one hour six minutes and five seconds. The previous holder of the record was Henri Molla, who at Douzy. France, Jan. 16, 1912, flew for one hour and six minutes. Goethal's Name Not to Go In. Washington, Jan 4. President Taft definitely told Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, chairman of the interoceanic canal committee, that he would not send to the senate the nomination of CoL George W. Goethals as civil governor of the Panama canal zone because of the opposition by Democratic senators to his appointment. Professor Science Association. Cleveland, Jan. 4. Prof. B. B. Wilson of Columbia university, New York, has been elected president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to aucceed E. C. Pickering of Harvard, and it has been decided to hold next year's meeting at Atlanta, Ga., Dec 29, 1913, to Jan. 3, 114.

TURKS REJECT TERMS - OF THE BALKAN ALLIES Moslem Delegates Absolutely Refuse to Give Up Adrianople and Islands in Aegean Sea. London, Jan. 6. The Ottoman delegates to the peace conference have absolutely made up their minds not to surrender the fortress of Adrianople or the islands in the Aegean sea, according to a statement made here. An explicit and categorical declaration to this effect was prepared for submission to the next session of the peace conference in St. James' palace. The Turks, however, may make some further concessions in the province of Adrianople. The delegates of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Servia met to consider their attitude in view of the probable Turkish reply to their demand for a decision on the question of Adrianople. The ambassadors of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy and Russia resumed their "conversations" at the British foreign office, when they began considering the questions involved in the crisis which has been reached in the peace negotiations. The attitude of the Balkan allies was foreshadowed by Dr. S. Daneff, the chief of the Bulgarian delegation, who stated: "We expect that the Turks will be unable to give us acceptable conditions. The negotiations will then be broken off. We have an army which can continue the war." Dr. Daneff added a phrase which possibly indicates that a way out of the deadlock may be found. He said: "If the Turks wish to appeal to the European powers, we cannot prevent them from doing so." The relations between Bulgaria and Roumania are reported to have reached a delicate stage, and this fact possibly may explain Turkey's attitude in the peace conference. FUNERAL OF WHITELAW REID Impressive Services Are Held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York. New York, Jan. 4. Funeral services for Whitelaw Reid, late ambassador to England, who died in London, were held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine this morDing.

ROOSEVELT'S 1 UP

COLONEL HITS IDAHO SUPREME COURT. FOR SENDING EDITORS TO JAIL. SEEKS AID IN U. S. SENATE Charges Contempt of Court Decree Stands Akin to Anarchistic Doctrine Rosen Deck Cells of the Three Publishers. Caldwell, Idaho, Jan. 6. Col. Iheodore Roosevelt, in a telegram to James H. Gibson, Progressive state ! chairman, which was received here, extended to R. S. Sheridan, C. C. Broxon and A. R. Cruzen, publishers of the Capital News, who were sent to jail ; for publishing Colonel Roosevelt's criticism of the Idaho supreme court, his sympathy and admiration. He also communicated with Progressive senators to see if something can be done in the United States senate with regard to what he terms the "outrage." Colonel Roosevelt's telegram follows : "I am confident I express the feelings of every decent American citizen when I say that I am outraged and- indignant beyond measure at the infamy that has been perpetrated in Idaho. Sees Decree Akin to Anarchy. "In its essence the action of the court is, in the first place, to deny to a very large minority, possibly a plurality, of the voters of Idaho the right effectively to express their desire as to who shall be the chief magistrate of the nation, and in the second place, to punish those who protest against this denial of justice and thereby seek to intimidate all men who may hereafter desire to protest against similar outrages. "No anarchist agitator could ever do anything against the courts comparable in effect to these actions of the highest of one of our state courts. "There could be no better proof that we need in any state the power to recall judges from the bench when they act badly and that everywhere we need to give to the people themselves the right expeditiously to make their own constitutions and to be in every act the masters of their own destinies. Calls Upon Senate to Act. "I have communicated with Senators Dixon, Borah, Poindexter and Bristow to ask if something cannot be done in the United States senate at any rate to call attention to the outrage. Let me know if there is anything in which I can be of assistance. "Meanwhile I wish to extend to the Progressives of Idaho, and particularly to the men who have been fined and sentenced to jail, not merely my heartiest sympathy, but my heartiest admiration. They are in every act proving by their conduct the truth of the profession they have made. AW -good citizens are their debtors. They have made great sacrifices for the cause of popular government, of good citizenship, and of the right temperately and truthfully to say what is vitally necessary in the interests of good citizenship." Roses Deck Editors" Cell. Boise, Idaho, Jan. 6. Thousands of letters and telegrams from prominent persons in all parts of the country were received by R. S. Sheridan, C. O. Broxon and A. R. Cruzen, who are serving ten-day sentences for contempt of court. Ther cells, which once were occupied by Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone of Western Federation fame, are banked with flowers. FARMER WILL BE SOLE GAINER Secretary Does Not Think Parcels Post Will Help Consumer to Save Much Money. Washington. Jan. 3. Although the mails now are open, through the inauguration of the parcels post, to farm products va-nd meats, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is not convinced that the service will materially affect the "high cost of living." The result of direct delivery from the producer to the dining table of the consumer will benefit the former alone, in his belief. He reiterated his conviction, having made it in a special report to congress before the last adjournment. "A cheapening of farmers' costs of marketing." he said, "will naturally result in gain to the producer rather than to the consumer. If the consumer is to benefit by changes in the costs of distribution, it seems probable that he must do so by cheapening or eliminating costs at his end of the chain of distribution' The secretary advocates co-operative buying as one means of reducing costs, and also recommends reforms in the methods of local distribution. He also expresses the belief that a division of markets in the department of agriculture, to watch- production and urge direct trade between producer and consumer, would aid greatly in cutting down household bills. Congressman a Suicide. Washington. Jan. 4. Representative William W. Wedemeyer of Ann Ar bor, Mich., who suddenly went insane at Colon, Panama, at the time of President Taft's recent visit to the isthmus, jumped overboard from a ship on which he had been taken at Colon. His body has not been recovered. Kills Woman, Commits Suicide. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 6.

A. W. RUCKER

Congressman A. W. Rucker of Colorado, while in Havana recently, permitted the papers there to exploit him as the next minister to Cuba but President-elect Wilson has said nothing about it. 14 DROWNED; 14 RESCUED WHEN SHIP IS RAMMED Steamer Cut in Two by Tramp Goes Down in Chesapeake Bay Survivors Are Almost Dead. Newport News, Va., Jan. 6. Eight of the fourteen survivors of the steamer Julia Luckenbach, rammed and sunk in the Chesapeake byy by the British tramp Indrakaula, arrived hsre and told how 14 of their number had gone down in the icy waters without a chance for life. The eight men, after a six hours' battle with the terrific gale which swept the whole coast, were taken from the rigging of their sunken ship by the Danish steamer Pennsylvania and brought here. They were almost dead. The Luckenbach, from Port Tampa for Baltimore, was about to anchor off the Tangier gas buoy at the mouth of the Potomac when the Indrakaula caught her and cut her practically in two in the line of her No. 2 hold. She went down like a rock, and only the men on deck had a chance for life. The Indrakaula, though badly damaged and in danger of sinking, saved six of the crew. New York, 'Jan. 6. After three barge loads of her heavy freight had been removed the steamship Amerika of the Hamburg-American line, which went aground in the channel, was pulled off at high water. The Amerika with a passenger list of 800 and a crew of 300 proceeded on her way to Bremen. The vessel was not damaged in any way. San Diego, Cal., Jan. 6. A small sloop is ashore south of this city and it is feared five men who were , on board her have perished. SENATOR RECALLED BY VOTE California Progressive, Involved In Business Failure, Loses Legislative Seat. San Jose, Cal., Jan. 4. The first recall election under the new state lav was held in the twenty-eighth senatorial district, for the recall of State Senator Marshall Black and the selection of his successor. Returns indicate the recall of Black by a large majority and the election of Herbert C. Jones, Republican, to succeed him. Black was a progressive leader in the state senate and formulated a number of reform measures adopted at the last session of the legislature. He was secretary of the Palo Alto Building and Loan Association, which was closed by order of a state commissioner last summer, after Black had admitted a shortage of more than $100,000. TWO PLANTERS AfcE EATEN Butchered by Natives Is the Fate of Whites, and Punitive Expedl- ' tion Is Planned. Sydney, Australia, Jan. 6.- Butchered by natives in New Guinea was the fate of two planters named James and Hermann Weber, brothers, who had a plantation in the heart of the "Nigger Country."

Pa disgraced us, as usual." "How so." "Got to the end of the dinner With three forks and two spoons still unused." Shopper's Cramp. Simeon Ford, at a dinner of hotel men in New York, discussed a new disease. "There's a new disease called shopper's cramp," he said "It appears early in December, becomes violently epidemic about the middle of the month and ends suddenly on the evening of the 24th. "Women feel shopper's cramp in the arms, the limbs, everywhere; but it attacks the husband only in one place the pocket." Fire in Bank of England. The first fire within memory occurred at the Bank of England, London, a few days ago. The fire broke but in the southeastern portion of the building. The flooring and joisting were considerably damaged. The outbreak was discovered by the Bank of England authorities, and subdued by their own appliances in 30 minutes. A lieutenant and a dozen men of the Irish Guards on duty at the bank, with fixed bayonets, assisted the police in keeping the crowd back from the building. Our Discontent. Brand Whitlock, the mayor of Toledo, was talking about discontent. "It is our discontent, our divine discontent," he said, "that will make a great nation of us. "I believe in discontent. I can sympathize even with the discontented old farmer, who said: "'Contented? When'll I be contented? Wall, I'll be contented when I own all the land adjoinin mine and not befur, be gum!" Unusual.

For real practical reliability and something to swear by, experience plain old experience -is, able to carry a big load yet without getting swaybacked. A So. Dak. woman found some things about food from Old Experience a good, reliable teacher. She writes: "I think T have used almost every hreakfast food manufactured, but none equal Grape-Xuts in my estimation. "I wate greatly bothered with weak stomach, and indigestion, with formation of gas after eating, and tried many remedies for It but did not find relief. "Then I decided I must diet and see if I could overcome the difficulty that way. My choice of food was GrapeNuts because the doctor told me I could not digest starchy food. "Grape-Nuts food. has been a great benefit to me for I feel like a different person since I begun to eat it. It is wonderful to me how strong my nerves have hecome. I advise everyone to try it, for experience is the best teacher. "If you have any stomach trouble can't digest your food, use GrapeNuts food for breakfast at least, and you won't be able to praise it enough when you iee how different you feel."
