"Uncle Joe" Cannon. . James R. Mann, of Illinois. William B. McKlnley, of lllinola. This i!T the "cgres Quartet" Tliay cant keep 'em out The beet evidence of that is that they are allin again. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, whose interesting personality, ready wit and ever-present cigar decorated many a session of the House, will once more furnish material for the Washington correspondents. But this time he won t be Speaker of the House. - ' , . James R. Mann has enjoyed the distinction of being Republican leader in a Democratic House. He is perhaps best known for the "Mann Act" intended originally to put an end to inter-state traffic in women. He was first elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress and to each successive Congress. He has the shortest biography in the Congressional Directory, and he wrote It himself. Representative McKinley was first elected to the Fifty-ninth Congress. He managed William H. Taft's campalgn for re-nomination. - ' . In 1912, when "Uncle Joe" was defeated for re-election, someone wrote about "The Passing of Uncle Joe. He served longer in the House than any other man forty years. This is his twenty-first Congressional campaign. Nicholas Longworth married Col. Roosevelt's daughter,Miss Alice Roosevelt

The most transparent fraud, according to postof flee Inspectors, preying on the gullibility of women, which the government has revealed in years, made Its effect felt In Richmond again today when an order wais received here from Acting Postmaster General Koons at Washington to hold In the Richmond office all letters addressed to the National Mall Order Brokerage Exchange at Minneapolis. These letters contain dimes which the women sent as legal tender for one 14.75 silk petticoat. The balance of payment came In persuading five friends to send dimes, each one of the five other friends to do likewise. According to mail clerks here, the scheme was the most successful propagating fraud and the most widely talked of In which the Richmond post office has any connection. "Hundreds of Richmond women have

gotten their dimes back," said Super-

intendent of Mails Wilson today. "The i government has detailed 15 clerks in the post office at Minneapolis to open letters, learn the senders name and return the money in separate envelopes in care of postmasters. We expect to get some of such letters a siin Vach will reauire the signature

of the person who gets the dime, but

I believe we can nanaie n nere wnuout extra help." 30,000 MEMBERS WANTED BY Y. M. C. A.

RICH MAN SPREADS FEAST FOR HUNGRY; ONCE HUNGRY TOO

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 Twenty years ago Max Gootschnelder with his wife and baby girl arrived in New York penniless from Volna, Russia. He begged help from a charitable organization and was given a job as a fur dyer. In return he made a vow that when his daughter should be married, all men who were hungry, as he wa3 then, should be fed. The immigrant became a prosperous fur dealer and yesterday announced the coming marriage of his daughter to a diamond merchant. He drove to the Hebrew society's headquarters in his limousine and explained that he was ready to keep the vow made a score of years ago. "How many immigrants have you here now?" he asked. He was told about 200. "Not enough," he declared. "Go out into the neighborhood, I want to feast any number up to 1,000, perhaps more if you can get them." Nearly 1,000 poor were fed at his expense between one p. m. and midnight. PROF. LOWELL DIES

JESSUP TRIES

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 13. Prof, percival Lowell, founder and director of the Lowell observatory here and an astronomer of international reputation, died here last night from a stroke of apoplexy.

Continued from page One should be the duty of the court through its decision to revoke the new gas rates." At the beginning of the case would rest almost wholly with a discussion of the inventory of the property of the gas company and upon what part of the property is used and useful in. supplying gas to the residents of Richmond. "Specifically I point out that the public service commission had no right to include in Its valuation of the plant on which it based its new seventy-cent gas rate the $35,000 going value," said Mr. Bond. "I also declare that the public serv

ice commission had no right to include in Its total valuation $57,000 for an

artificial gas plant which is neither used or useful in supplying gas to the citizens of Richmond. "Furthermore, I substantiate the part of my complaint which says the ruling is unreasonable by stating that the ruling violates the purpose of the utility commission in-as-much as it discriminates between people who use much gas and those who use little." The new rate calls for eight cents for the first thousand cubic feet used, seventy cents for the second, sixty cents for the third and fifty cents for the fourth. There is a ten cents rebate on each one-thousand feet provided the bill is paid early. The min. imum rate is seventy cents a month. Compares Former Rate. The old rate was fifty cents for the first thousand cubic feet of gas and forty cents for each thousand feet thereafter. The public service commission did not have a representative here. It left the defense entirely in the hands of officials of the Light, Heat and Power company and of the United Gas and Electric company.' John T. Beasley, Terre Haute, attorney for the United Gas and Electric company, took the floor for the defense late this morning. Rules on Rates Alone. He backed up Mr. Jessup's motion to have the court, rule that Mr. Bond be forced to present a more specific complaint. 'It will be the duty of the court in this case to find whether the new rates are lawful or unlawful and nothing else," said Mr. Beasley. Mr. Beasley urged that since the artificial gas plant might at any time have to be relied upon, to furnish gas for the city in case, the uncertain natural Rimnlv should fail, it should

be included in the valuation on which the new rates are based.

Many queer and fascinating sets where a combination of furs is used, are shown this season. Particularly interesting is this seal and beaver set which consists of mellon muff and cape scarf. The manner in which the moleskin

strip "threads" the collar is especially charming. The hat worn is a clever affair with partly transparent brim bordered with moleskin and ornamented by an old ribbon ornament.

ONCE books either overcrowded limited shelf space or empty shelves yawned and waited for books. When one bookcase overflowed, a new new one was purchased, and its gaping shelves were gradually filled. That was before the Globe-Wernicke period in bookcases. Now, books and their shelves come together. The bookcase grows apacevith the library. This is the modern way of building a library. This is the Globe-Wemicke idea. Globe-Wernicke Sectional Bookcases are built to endure, and do not cost any more than the ordinary kind. deed's Fwraiitae o-
