FIGHT AGAINST

WILL BE IGIIII I1IE1D Strong Effort Will Be Made at Next Session of Congress To Defeat Uncle Joe for "Autocrat." ' INTEREST IS TAKEN IN TAFT'S ATTITUDE Conflicting Assertions Regarding the Head of the House To the President A Warm Campaign. Washington, Aug. 28. As certain as the sun rises the opening of the next session of congrebs will witness the beginning of a contest against the reelection of Mr. Cannon as speaker of the house a twelve-month later and an effort to deprive the office of speaker of some of Its arbitrary power. Although these objects could not in regular order be achieved until the beginning of the congress assembling in the succeeding December, the ground work for them will be laid at the coming session. It is too early to prophesy the probable outcome of the fight against Mr. Cannon. He is a fighter himself, his blood is up, he is strongly, though far from impregnably intrenched in a loyal organization, whose members welfare is identical with his own. He has announced his intention to defend his course, and if he keeps his vigor caa he depended upon to make the defense a lively proceeding for his antagonists. This impending contest is not due to the attack of Representative Fowler upon the speaker, but that onslaught undoubtedly will be used by the antiCannon forces as material of war. Mr. Fowler will not lead the attacking forces, for his influence in the house is not that of a leader. He can "tote" amunition however, and in that useful if somewhat subordinate capacity his services will be utilized. Taft's Apprehended Opposition. The antagonistic influence most feared by the house organization, as it at present exists, is the apprehended opposition of President Taft to the speaker's re-election. No one is at this time authorized to say that the president will favor the supplanting Of Speaker Cannon by another. It may be that the president himself has not determined positively on that course. But some members of the house loyal to Mr. Cannon, fear that the president may find it desirable to sympathize with efforts to elect another as speaker. ' All that aside it is an undeniable fact that the movement has already been started among republican members of this congress all of whom hope to be members of the succeeding houso to turn down the present organization and itsh rules. The work will be prosecuted at the coming session for it"? moral effect on the country and upon the prospective candidates for nomination to the Sixty-second congress. The propaganda is to. be carried beyond congress and to the people at the polls before the next house is elected. Returning to speculations upon possible executive influence against the speaker, the support found for such suggestion lies in the consideration of some well known facts of the past and present. In the first place, it U known that prior to the president's election and to Mr. Cannon's re-election to congress. President Taft regarded the Cannon policies, of which Mt. Cannon was held up as a type, as a liability and not an asset of the republican national campaign last year. To put it brutally, although correctly, Mr. Cannon was regarded as a drag, upon the campaign then being entered upon and a load to be carried. It will not be forgotten that a year ago there was open discussion of the possibility of Mr. Taft's opposition to Mr:' Cannon's re-election as speaker, and that some conferences were necessary at Hot Springs between Mr. Taft and Mr. Cannon's friends before that talk could be quieted. The public impression was that assurances were given at those conferences that Mr. Cannon would support the Taft policies in congress. Cannon's Loyalty to the President. Now. no one except President Taft himself probably knows whether ha A High TEE .

Mme, Dis De Bar Released From Prison: Now a Teacher

New York, Aug. 20 Mme Dis de Bar, who achieved fame and a term of seven years in an English prison by victimizing Luther Marsh, an aged millionaire of this city, is in here and has been teaching how to live forever. This was admitted today by Mrs. Lillian Hobatr French, who presided over the Mahatma institute, 32 West Thirty-third street, where the philosophy of perpetual life is taught behind windows heavily curtained with white silk, in a room dimly lighted and heavy with Incense. Mrs. French, tall with fair hair and blue eyes, and talking in well modulated low tones, declared she had not known Mme. Dis de Bar's identity, nor had she known that the woman's coadjutor was David Livingston Mackay, who in 1907 fled from Detroit with Mother Elinor Mason, who turned out to be Dis de Bar. Mrs. French explained that the couple met her at the New Thought church In Carnegie hall, and that Mme. Dis de Bar was introduced to her as Adiva Veedya. Mrs. French said she invited them to become teachers of physically imortality in her institute, but today when shown a picture considers that the speaker has made good those assurances or not. Mr. Cannon's friends claim that he has. They declare that the speaker did all in his power to forward the revision of the tariff demanded by the president. They point out that the speaker fell in with the president's plan to put forward the corporation tax as against the house plan of inheritance tax. although a majority of the republican leaders were opposed to the substitution. They say that the speaker wielded the power of the committee on rules to facilitate the progress of the bill in its successive stages. As against this the charge is made that the speaker packed the conference committee by the substitution of Messrs. Fordney and Calderhead for men in line, this with the alleged purpose of strengthening the high protectionists on the conference committee. Further, that the speaker, in the Interest of his friend, ex-Representative Littauer, opposed the president's demands for lower duties on gloves and had to be ridden down by the executive. Those are charges that have been specifically and repeatedly made. To the allegation that he packed the conference committee Speaker Cannon in an interview yesterday replied that it was beneath his dignity to take notice of it. President Taft has not indicated hi3 opinion of these charges, and no one thus far has been authorized to speak for him, but it has been a persistent, subject of gossip that he felt resentment toward the speaker upon these alleged grounds. It is certain however, that the opponents of Mr. Cannon are busily circulating these indictments and as zealously claiming that they constitute basis for expecting the aid of President Taft in the fight against Speaker Cannon's re-election. It is not known whether President Taft is aware of ! all of this or not, but there is no misi taking the fact that the -anti-Cannon ! people are trading upon it extensively. They believe that for the present they need nothing more than the president's silence to "get away with it." WILL HOLD REUNION Philadelphia, Aug. 28.

of Mme. Dis de Bar she recognized the woman and ordered them both out. Mrs. French said when the woman was accused she denied being Mme. Dis de Bar. but the picture settled it, and Mrs. French Insisted on their leaving. She said she did not know where they had gone. "I do not . know what Mane - Dis de Bar's intention was coming to my house," she said, "unless to get a hold on well-kpown people. She may have thought she could get in with them and use them for her own purpose. "She was an extremely fat woman, and while I had heard that she was in prison in London for Immoral teaching. I can't say she taught of did anything immoral while in my house. "Just the same, I am glad she is gone. I don't know where to find her now. "She was old enough to be Mackay's grandmother. They seemed very friendly and left together. "They came in this morning, packed up all their things and went away." Inspector McCafferty on learning today of the presence of Mme Dis de Bar in the city, ordered the detectives to find her and bring her to police headquarters.

CAME FROM AFRICA Native of Jungles Likes This Country Better Than His Own. IS EMPLOYED AT DECATUR Decatur, Ind., Aug. 28. Michael Page is the name of the new porter who is now employed at the Murray hotel. That is not his real name but he just took that handle simply because he liked it. He is a colored man but no ordinary one and has a history. He is intelligent and interesting to talk to. He is a native of the jungles of Africa, his home being originally fortyseven miles south of Bloemfontein. When twelve years old he was picked up by representatives of the John Robinson circus who were in the country gathering up wild beasts for his big menagerie. He was brought to this country and lived for a number of years in Cincinnati and traveled with the circus. He learned the American customs and language and no longer cares for the wilds of his native country. He remembers the lingo of his tribe and speaks it well. He says his tribe wore only breech clout and he tells many interesting stories of his life in the dark lands. He has helped to hunt the lion and has seen all the wild beasts of his native land. Once since he has become a man he has taken a trip back to his native land, but he did not care to remain and soon returned to this country. He is different from the ordinary colored man you may meet and he has no particular love for Dixie land nor does he speak with the southern accent. He is a clever porter and can easily prove to anyone that he is a native of Africa. He is married and his wife, an American woman, is here with him. He says he has never met a person who can talk his language during the eighteen years he has spent In this country. SaltmaKing In Spain. The Spanish method of producing salt, as employed near Cadiz, is by allowing the sun to evaporate the water from what are known as "pans." small ponds prepared for the purpose of a uniform ck-ptb of about eighteen Inches. These are flooded directly from the sea three or four times n year, aud in time there is left a deposit of about three Inches of salt, which is piled in the open iu the form of small pyramids until Mold. This method has the advantage of being inexpensive and of not requiring machinery. The only requisites are a hot sun and a soil which will not permit the water to filter through, as the salt in solution would then be lost. Something depends also upon the analysis of the water. For instance, the water of the Mediterranean has a greater specific gravity than that of the Atlantic. Getting whipped when a boy hurts, but it doesn't hurt half as much as the wearing out process that he experiences when he is old.

FIGHTS HUBGUI1 Wife' of Middletewn, 0., Man Finds Masked Man in Her Room. USES AN ANCIENT WEAPON HITS HIM WITH FLAT OF SWORD AS HE FLEES AND THE THIEF IS SENT SPRAWLING DOWN THE STAIRWAY. Middletown, O., Aug -S. Armed with a sword, Mrs. E. S. Clark of Broadway, wife of a well known local engineer, bested a burglar in a terrific encounter. Mrs. Clark discovered a masked man in her bedroom. She put him to flight without awakening her husband until the marauder had flown. While Mrs. Clark was at home alone burglars made an attempt to enter the house. They were unsuccessful. They returned last evening and had better success until Mrs. Clark was awakened. When Mrs. Clark discovered the man he was searching a pair of her husband's trousers. When the thief saw he had been detected he started for a door located at the head of a flight of stairs that led from the first floor. Since the attempt of last Friday night Mrs. Clark always placed a heavy sword at her bedside. The sword was used by her grandfather in the civil war and prior to last week's attempt to enter the Clark home the weapon occupied a conspicuous place on the bed room wall. Went After Thief With Sword. Without disturbing her husband Mrs. Clark grabbed the sword and started after the fleeing man. For fear of killing the thief she turned the weapon sideways and cracked the thief across the back and sent him tumbling down the stairs. In an instant Mrs. Clark was at his side. She beat the thief across the head with the butt of the weapon until he dropped the trousers and fled. Mrs. Clark then returned to her bed room and aroused her husband who was asleep in the same room the encounter started in. Clark grabbed a revolver that was lying under his pillow and shot three times out of a window. For the past two weeks a gang of burglars have been abroad in this city, and no less than a dozen places have been entered. The police have adopted extra precautions to nab the thieves, but to no success. The other night's affair at the Clark home is the climax to the series of crimes. An attempt was also made to enter the Conner home on Second street. "The men who make a living by making 6tyles for men usually pay little attention to summer garments, and devote their time to winter wear." says a letter from Ostend. "This . . 1 i ...... : 1 . 1. . I veai, iiunevpi, is au CAcryuiuu iu mat I respect. Yachting, bathing, lounging, ' golfing, tennis and automobile styles laid down years ago have not been disturbed, but men's evening clothes have received attention. Those who glory in being properly dressed and who rejoice in the knowledge that others copy their styles have appeared at evening parties in the conventional dress, save that waistcoat, socks and tie were the same color as the gowns worn by the women whom they escorted. This may be looked upon as a new idea, but it is simple an imitation of the old calico ball fashion, wher a woman makes a necktie from a piece of her dress for her escort." Past Finding Out. "Well, well. Neighbor Weaver, I see as how ye's got a new hired man over to your place," remarked Uncle Charlie Seaver as he leaned over the pastare fence and accepted a chew from his friend's tobacco pouch. "Somethin peculiar about the way that feller walks. Is be a mite lame?" "Huh, dingbusted if I know whether the cuss's lame or not." ejaculated Mr. Weaver, expectorating into the pigweed beside the fence. "To tell ye truth. Neighbor Seaver. I never seen the cuss move fast enough so's I could find oat. Tbet hired man may be lame in tn' nigh leg. as ye say. but I guess we'll never know the truth. Huh!" Puck. According to official estimates, the value of the diamonds yet in the ground in German - South Africa id 250,000,000.
