In addition to the regular sessions of the convention, special meetings will be held simultaneously by sub-departments of tbo federation on P.egulation of Industrial Corporation, Seth I-ow, chairman, Krgulatlon of Interstate and Municipal Utilities, Kmerson McMlllin, chairman; Compensation for Industrial Accidents, August Belmont, chairman; Pure Food and nd Drus.

Wilcox, chairman, devoted to Interesting employers, whether public or private, In Improving the conditions under which employe in all industries and In all occupations wprk nd live. Governors to Attend. The Governors whose acceptance of Invitations have been received and who will participate in the work of the Convention are Governor Robert P. Bass, of New Hampshire; Governor W. Hodges Mann, of Virginia: Governor Aram J. Pothier, of Rhole Island; Governor Chester H. Aldrich, of Nebraska; Governor Albert W. Gilchrist, of Florida; Governor W. W. Kitchin, of North Carolina; Governor Emmet O'Neal, of Alabama; Governor John A. Head, of Vermont; Governor Lee Cruce, of Oklahoma; Governor Chase 8. Osborn, of Michigan; Governor Joseph M. Carey, of Wyoming; Governor Eugene N. Foss, of Massachusetts; Governor John Burke, of North Dakota; Governor John A. Dlx, of New York; Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio; Governor Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois; Governor O. B. Colquitt, of Texas. The entire discussions of the convention will center about the general subject of the relations of employer and employe, and will be divided Into three parts the private employer to his employes, the public utility company to Its employes and the government, federal, State and municipal, to its employes. Railroad Questions Prominent among the matters to be considered under these heads are the practical operation of the trade agreements between the railway system of the country and the brotherhoods of engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and other employes; the successful operation of the three years' contract between the National Association of Newspaper Publishers and the International Organization of Printers, Pressmen and Stereotypers, as well as -the contracts In many other trades, uch as itreet railways, building trades, roal mining and brewing. That the contract between the publishers and' their employes is practically an Ideal one, Is the opinion of both sides to the agreement, and will fee discussed as a model for imitation by other trades. The contract amounts practically to voluntary compulsory arbitration, paradoxical as the term may be. It provides against all atrikea by the arrangement that, when any local walkout may occur the places of the strikers will be filled by the Union Instead of the employers, and a general national arbitration board is maintained as also special local arbitration committees. The problem will be considered as to whether It Is best to have In all cases contracts between employers and employes of public utilities just as with private concerns. Strikes during the last few years In street railway, express and railroad companies have emphasised the need for settling the question. The same Is true of employes of the government whether national. State or mnnlcpal. Juki at present the postal employes are agitating for a bill In congress to give them the right to snake appeals in a body for higher salaries, and the matter will be gone over t length by the convention. Similar situations which have arisen in the states and cities, will be delved Into by the convention. , A campaign has been waged for several years by the National Civic Fedor tton for pensions for publtc employes, fair both to the government and to the employes, and also for a law providing compensation for Injuries sustained during employment. "Pensions for Federal, State and Municipal Employes as well as "Retirement Plana for Wage Earners in Private Enterprises" are amon the special papers that will be read. Pensions for employee is a topic co-related to workmen's compensation, in that disabled employes may become pensioners. To become Incapacitated after years of loyal service with no means of support. Is the dread of every thinking wage-earner, whether In prvate, industry or in public service. The main problem involved in all pension plana is the question, "Shall employes eontribute to retirement funds?" From the CHOICE APPLES FOU SALE

public standpoint It is of serious moment that the work of the Government whether Municipal, State or Federal, should not be hampered by retaining in the service employes incapacitated by age. Until a proper pension plan Is worked out, public machinery will be clogged, as no official has the heart to throw out upon the world those who have devoted their lives to the service of the Government. The State of New York is sending the biggest delegation to the convention, including Judge Alton B. Parker, Judge James A. O'Gorman, Senator Klibu Root, Former Mayor Seth Low, William Barnes, Jr., Chairman of the State Republican Committee, August Belmont, John N. Bogart.

POLITICAL MILLS AT CAPITAL GRIND CAMPAIGN MATERIAL WITHOUT A STOP

BY SIDNEY E8PEY. WASHINGTON, March 4, Political mills in Washington are busily grinding out campaign materials. While everybody about here who is interested in politics Is willing to ad- j mit that the tariff question, and that ; alone, must form the back bone for j next November's fight, still the purple j and green fire of the political cam-; paigns, the pin-wheels of issues and ! the skyrockets of stump speeches must j all be prepared. And tbat is what is taking place In Washington now. More legislation and ltsa investiga tion, has been the cry of a good many 1 leaders, both on the Democratic and Republican sides of the house of representatives, but notwithstanding this : fact, investigation goes on, and hard- j ly a day at the national capital passes that does not see something in the ; way of a pyrotechnic argument or a sizzling accusation added to the mu-, , nition 8 tores of tbe next campaign. The Democrats are working overtime, with their majorities in 'most of j the big investigating committees. The Republicans are more or less putting their eggs all in one basket and are keeping an eye peeled upon every bit of legislation which even smacks of , tariff importance, whenever it shows j j its head above the mass of matters now before congress. I j "Jim" Mann, of Illinois, minority j l leader of the house is the foreman of I I the Republican campaign fireworks factory. Behind him stands Ebenezer Hill, who is always right in the front with a little bunch of statistics, to provie anything in the world in which the Republicans may be interested; Sereno Payne, who entertains a deep contempt for any Democratic tariff legislation, and does not hesitate to express it, and a host of lesser workmen all vigilant and industrious in the work of boosting along the cause of standpat Republicanism. On the otner side of the house, Oscar Underwood, of course is at the throttle of the big steam roller which the Democrats captured from the Re publicans while Mann was the engineer. His cohorts include Representative Hay of Virginia, whose army reorganization bill has produced as much campaign stuff to the line as any measure now before congress. A. O. Stanley, of Kentucky, the chairman of the steel committee; Hardwick, whose committee report on the sugar industry was made public a few weeks ago; Moss with his Everglade probe; William Sulzer, who is engineering the Panama canal investigation before the committee on foreign affairs, and many others. From the number of mills at work, it looks as though there are a lot more charges and counter charges stored up in the Democratic arsenals, to be fired at their opponents, than tbe Republicans will be able to get together for reply. The two big issues will be economy, with a capital "E" from the Democratic camp as opposed to the fayne-Ald-rlch ideas of tariff revision, which the Republican's will urge. Time and again however, the democratic probes have brought to light information of more or less value, if applied to a body of citizen kings, 'from i the top of a stump, or the tail gate or a wagon. Take for instance the case of Major Beecher Ray, of the Pay corps of the army. The case of Major Ray started out with comparatively insignificant importance, as far as a national political aspect was concerned. It appeared to be merely the story of how a superior officer had been charged with utilizing his official position to repress his clerk, and break up a home. But once the probe got to work, there has been dragged to the surface by the house committee on expenditures in the war department, information which not only Involves the President of the United States, but his brother Charles P. Taft. and former President Roosevelt, who will undoubtedly be in the running when the Chicago convention convenes to select the Republican nominee. The letters which President Taft j wrote to General Whipple concerning j the complaint which Major Ray's j clerk made to the department, made good sensational reading, but their chief value as campaign material lies in the fact that in one of them the President refers to political services rendered Charles P. Taft by Major Ray. and that the army officer had been prone to place too high a value upon them. Right on the heels of this, came the removal of Fred C. Ainsworth from the post of adjutant general, by executive order; and Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, on the floor of the house, forsaking party affiliations, charged openly that General Ainsworth, hed bartered misinformation

to the Hay military committee in the hope of retiring as Lieutenant Gen

eral. I The next day General Ainsworth re- j tired voluntarily, and w-as iramediat-, ely summoned before the committee on expenditures in the war depart-1 ment to be questioned concerning , some data and letters alleged to be missing in the Ray case, and incideutally to give the committee some facts to work on as to the extent politics affects the army. For some time before these things transpired, the house committee on foreign affairs had been quietly probing the circumstances surrounding the acquisation of the Panama canal by the United States. Henry N. Hall had just completed many days of testimony before the committee, during which he declared that, under the Roosevelt administration, revolt was fostered in the Panama zone, and the United States stands in the light of a nation who has broken pledges and ruthlessly seized friendly territory. Just at this time, Minister Ospina, of Columbia, wrote the now famous Knoz letter, and its effect was immediately seen in the activities of the foreign affairs committee. There is no doubt that a lot of good campaign material will come aa the result of the Ospina letter and the Sulzer committee's investigation. In fact it is almost certain that much will be said in this campaign concerning what Mr. Sulzer, and Representative Rainey have already termed the utterly indefensible position of the United States in the Panama matter. And so the Democratic probes are digging deeper and deeper, turning up projectiles with which to batter the oplitical heads of their opponents, who on the other hand, are piling up breastworks from the mistakes they declare they see in Democratic tariff legislation.

FIGHT FOR ESTATE IS FINALLY ENDED

Oliver c. C Fetta", of IndiasaapoMs, son of llarman Fetta of this city, ia one of the attorneys who succeeded is establishing the claim of heir of an estate of $1,350 which haa bees held la the state treasury for nearly twentytwo years. The case is most awaasrkable. In order to establish their heirship the claimants were obliged to make extensive search and take depositions in Ireland. The fact was established by the attorneys for tbe claimants tbat Katherine Murphy, who was tbe only heir to the estate of Anastatia Gunnip, bad not been heard from for sev,;en years. The estate was left by Anas tatia Ounnip who died thirty years ago at Lafayette. The amount was turned over to the state treasury after no settlement could be made. After a great deal of labor Mr. Fetta and Charles Billheimer, also of Indianapolis, succeeded in establishing the claims of the heirs and the twtiount will be turni ed over to them as soon as the auditor of the state issues a warrant on the ; state treasurer for $944.14. which is the balance of the estate to be paid heirs, the remainder having been con sumed by years of litigation. Two new flag officers are added to the German navy by the program of 1912, bringing the total to forty, which ic made up of one grand admiral, Ave admirals, fourteen vdce-admirala and twenty rear-admirals.
