JOBS OF TUFT MEN MAY EHDOH JOLY 1 Democrats Have a Plan to Place Their Men in Federal Offices.

MOVEMENT STARTED TO IMPEACH MAYOR

WORKING ON NEW LAW

Republicans Frightened. Number of Officials Would Be Affected.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The Democratic caucus of the Senate probably on next Thursday will consider a somewhat startling patronape scheme from its patronage committee. This committee was appointed to devise a plan of action toward the nominations, which President Taft has aent to the Senate since his defeat and which the Democrats thus far have held up. Its program, if adopted, will result in vacating thousands of Federal jobs within a few months after the inauguration of President Wilson and the substitution of a host of Democratic for Republican office holders. The scheme priginated, it is understood, with Senator Clark of Arkansas, but it is said to have the approval of most of the other members of the patronage committee. They are all Southerners, more or less hungry for rich pickings under the Democratic administration Senator Martin of Virginia, the nominal Democratic leader of the Senate; Stone of Missouri, Owen of Oklahoma and Hoke Smith of

Georgia. Those Affected. The plan contemplates the enactment by Congress of a law that will terminate next July the terms of office of all Presidential postmasters, district attorneys, marshals, revenue collectors and other officeholders, whose terms originally were contemporaneous with that of the President and members of his Cabinet. The plan is to propose the passage of such a law at this session of Congress with the understanding that in the event of Republicans supporting it, all of the 1,300 Taft nominations now being held .up shall be confirmed immediately and that all further nominations made by Mr. Taft up to March 4 shall receive favorable consideration at the hands of Democrats. Of course the enactment of such a law would throw open to the Democrats in a block on July 1 next all the vast field of Federal patronage. Under present conditions many of the Republicans who have been appointed to office by President Taft within the last year will hold over through most of the Wilson Administration unless Mr. Wilson resorts to the removal of Republican appointees before their terms expire. The latter course would amount to a return to the most flagrant practices of the spoils system and undoubtedly 4 would not be considered by Mr. Wilson. The proposition

to be advanced by the Democrats is in effect therefore an offer to trade a lease on official life for unconfirmed Taft appointees until July 1 in exchange for the retirement of all Republicans on that date. How Regarded. Republicans who learned today of jthis proposition immediately announced that it would not be considered for a. minute. In fact, the Democratic plan is regarded by Republicans merely as an attempt to afford a pretext for continued opposition to the Taft nominations from now until March 4. iThey eay the Democrats intend to offfer an Impossible proposition and then ralw the cry before the country that they are justified fn opposing the Taft nominations on the ground that the jltepnblleans hare declined to accept ia. fair proposal. Some of the Democratic advocates of the plan, however, contend that If it Is not accepted by a Republican Senate at this session an effort will be made to have a law passed immediately fdltowlng the Induction of the new Congress, when both branches will be controlled by the Democrats, fixing IJuly 1 as the date for the expiration of Federal offices of this character. The feeling over the patronage question is beginning to assume serious proportions and It is likely to cause President Wilson more trouble than any other. The Republicans now have a majority or eight in the Senate, but ihey have been unable to accomplish inything in the way of confirmations ilnce the reassembling of Congress.

Albert C. Brown, the new janitor at

tne vvayne county court nouse, uas i

teen a resident of Richmond since 1842 and Is one of the oldest residents who was born in Richmond. "Palladium" was the first word Mr. Brown learned to spell. He lived in a log cabin where Hill's greenhouse row stands. "There were cracks between the logs in the cabin and my

mother placed newspapers there to keep out the cold winds," said Mr. Brown. "Most of the papers were Palladium papers as that is the only one we ever took. They were pasted

so conspicuously atyout the roof of the

cabin over my bed that I learned to spell the word "Palladium" before I had committed the entire alphabet to memory.

(National New Association) WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. The objection of the attorney general to the plan of dissolution proposed by the Union Pacific railway to carry out the mandate of the supreme court of the United States was sustained by the court today, which held that the distribution of stock of the Southern Pacific to Union Pacific stockholders did not tarry out the dissolution orders. Justice Day, in stating the opinion o? the court, said: "The proposal to distribute the stock among the share holders of the Union Pacific, or to sell the stock to such share holders, if granted, would in effect, transfer the

I stock of the Oregon Short Lane, which

now holds it for the Union Pacific, to the share holders who own and control the latter company. The court id of the opinion that this distribution or sale cannot be ordered. The ultimate determination of the affairs of a corporation rest with its stockholders and arises from their power to choose

the governing board of directors. After such distribution as is now proposed, the stockholders of the Union Pacific may dominate and control, not

ern Pacific company as well. "We are of the opinion that such distribution would not so effectually

end the combination as to comply with the decree heretofore ordered to bo entered by this court."

NAPOLEON'S POLICE. An Incident That Shows How Closal They Were Watchsd. During the reign of Emperor Napoleon I. at a dinner in Taris the conversation turned upon the emperor and his government. One of the company remarked that he was a great man, but was too fond of war. When the party broke up a gentleman who was present requested to speak in private to the person who had made that observation. "Sir," said he. "I am sorry for it, but I must request you to go with me to the police."

"Why?" said the other in the great-' est apparent alarm. "I have said nothing against the emperor but what every one must acknowledge, that he is too fond of war. There can be no harm iu that." "With that I have nothing to do. lou mutt go with me to the police." The other now began to show the strongest symptoms of fear. He entreated the police agent in the most pathetic language to hnve compassion on him. Tii other, however, stood UDmoved by all hiss solicitation, when suddenly the man lose from his knees and burst into a laugh, to the utter astonishment of the police agent. "You think yon have caught me," said be. "You are a spy of the police. So am I, and I was put over you to see ' whether jou would do your duty."

Sheriff Oliver Mitchell will arrive tonight from Rising Sun, Ind., with Mary Allen, who is implicated in the delinquency of Georglanna Doyle. Sheriff Bayer has no authority outside of Wayne county according to Judge Fox who decided that it would be nec

essary for Mitchell to bring Mrs. Al

The affidavit sworn to before Justice of Peace Samuel Morgan stated that Georgianna Doyle is 16 years of age, contrary to the fact that she is but twelve. This is known by both Allen and his wife it is said. Hensley is taking the matter quietly and seems unconcerned at the county jail where he is being held until he will be able to furnish bond of $300.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Senator Bristow of Kansas today introduced

a bill to create an industrial commis

About a dollar was missing and the cup which had contained the money was found in the lower corrider later.

The thefts are very annoying to the employes of the place. It is not known what time the money was taken.
