DMITS BEING OIL ATTORNEY Judge Nagel of St. Louis i Issues Statement. ! i(ETAINED IN ONE CAS Acting Chairman at Republican Head- quarters at Chicago Replies to Charge Made by Judge Priest of St. | Louis, a Bryan Supporter, Whom President Roosevelt Accused of Be: ing a Trust Attorney. Chicago, Sept. 30.—Judge Charles agel of St. Louis, who, in the ab- sence of Chairman Hitcheock, is in charge of Republican national head- quarters, gave out a statement admit- ting that the law firm of which he is a member is acting in a professional capacity for the Waters-Pierce Oil company. Judge Nagel's statement was called forth by the statement made by Judge Henry S. Priest of St. Louis, a Democrat, who was referred to by President Roosevelt in a letter to Mr. Bryan as a trust attorney sup- porting Mr. Bryan. Mr. Priest admit- ted that he had been retained in a le- al capacity by the oil company and ; stated that Judge Nagel, Republican mational committeeman frem Mis- pouri, was similarly retained. Judge Nagel, in his statement, de- clares that the employment of his firm by the Waters-Pierce company began some years ago, when they un- dertook an examination of the Mis- eouri laws with reference to the op- eration of the Waters-Pierce company under them. When Attorney General HMadley began his suit to oust the com- pany Judge Nagel's firm was engaged to direct the defense. ! “In the course of a few months,” Bays the statement, “it developed that our relation to the case was not what e had understood it to be. Our firm ereupon refused to receive further fees as general counsel and asked the jconsent of our client to withdraw from the particular case in question. Phis was refused.” Sinoe then, Judge Nagel concludes, the firm’s connection with the com- peny has been confined to this one case, presenting those points of law on | which they believe decision in the case must finally turn. SAYS HE NEVER USED IT Finding of Pass Issued to John W. Kern Brings Out Statement. Connersville, Ind., Sept. 30.—The finding of a little red leather note book, with the name of “John W. Kern” stamped in gilt on its covet, within it a pass over the Big Four railroad issued to John W. Kern and good till Dec. 31, 1908, following the Democratic vice presidential nom- Inee’s visit to the Connersville free fair, has brought from Bryan’s run- ping mate the admission that he did have & Big Four pass. The tale of the find, accompanied by an assertion that several other Big Four passes were in the Kern note book when it was seen by a reporter, has awakened much interest here. In Mansfield, O., at the Democratic state campaign opening, Mr. Kern said he did not know he had lost a pass, but said the Big Four, for which he had appeared as counsel in several damage suits, had sent him a pass to take him to a trial at Winchester, Ind. He had not had occasion to use the Enls, he said, and did not know he ad lost it. If it was an annual pass he did not know it. (OPEN FIGHT ON CANNON. Anti-Saloon League Opposes Speaker’s !

Doolin, assist- ent treasurer of the Democratic na- | tional committee, would ‘resign was enied at Democratic headquarters. chn K. Lamb, who, in the absence of Chairman Mack, is in charge of the headquarters, flatly denied the report TOO SEVERE ON MODERNISM Said Papal Secretary of State Merry del Val Will Rz Rome, Sept. 30.—According to the Avanti Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, is about to retire. This step, it ed, is an outcome of represeniations made to | the Vatican by American and English prelates, but particule Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishep Ireland, who objected to the secreiary’s severe measures against modernisi. Accord- CARDINAL MERRY DEL VAL. ing to the Avanti Cardinal Vannutelli received these complaints in London at the time of the Eucharistic congress | and {ransmitted them to the pope. In the event of Merry del Val's retire- raent he probably will be succeeded by Cardinal Rampolla, who formerly held this office. Rampolla’s return to power would mean a policy of digni- fied conciliation with regard to France and an attitude of greater reserve to- ward Italy. REFUSES TO AGCEPT NETHERLANDS NOTE Latest Move of Castro in In- ternational Dispute. ‘Willemstad, Curacao, Sept. 30.—It i Is reported here from Venezuela that President Castro has refused to re- ceive from Baron Seckendorff, the | German minister at Caracas, the sec- ond note of The Netherlands govern- ment on the difficulties between that country and Venezuela. Castro argues | that the German minister is entitled only to watch over Holland’s interests in Venezuela and that he cannot as- | sume the functions of an intermediary between The Netherlands government | | and his own. According to these re- ports President Castro will insist that this note be presented by a special envoy from The Netherlands. In Willemstad President Castro’s course is regarded as nothing more than a means to postpone any action by The Netherlands government against the ports of Venezuela. Hughes Adaresses convention.

STARTLING FIGURES GIVEN Professor Irving Fisher of Yale Cre- ates Sensation by Statements Made In"Address Before International Con- gress on Tuberculosis—Yearly Cost to the Country From Deaths by Con- sumption Placed at $1,000,000,000. Washington, Sept. 30.—That 5,000, 000 people now living in the United States are doomed to fill consump- tives’ graves unless something is done to prevent it was the startling declara- tlon ef Professor Irving Fisher of Yale in an address on “The Cost of Tuber- culosis” before the international con- gress on tuberculosis. Professor Fish- er’s address, which was the feature of the day, created a sensation among the hundreds who listened-to his state- ments. Professor Fisher further declared that the 133,000 persons who die of consumption annually in this country cost in hard cash, over $1,000,000,000 a year. In section 1, in which it is expected the most of the scientific discussions and discoveries will develop, there was a discussion of great importance to the congress when Professor Almett of Lille, France, director of the Pas- teur institution, advanced the theory that tubercule baccilli are taken into the system by swallowing. Hereto- fure inhalation has been considered the principal method of contracting consumption. Infection by inhalation was warmly defended by Professor Tendeloo of Holland. Past Assistant Surgeon Victor G. Heifer of the United States public health and marine hospital service and director of health of the Philip- pine islands read an interesting paper in which he asserted that in tropical countries, where tuberculosis and hook worm disease prevail, elimina- tlon of the hook worm produced better results in diminishing the mortality from tuberculosis than any other meas- ure that has yet been tried on a large scale. ALL ON BOARD SAVED. Steam Yacht Argonaut Sunk in Col- lision Off Dover, Eng. Dover, Eng., Sept. 30.—The tourist steam yacht Argonaut, from London for Lisbon with 250 persons, including passengers and crew, on hoard, went down between Dover and Dungeness after having been in collision with the steamer Kingswell in a fog.

Fortunately the son { was smooth and the transfer of the passengers and crew to the small boats was made speedily. There was no panic. The people on board the Argonaut lost everything they possessed.

Peking, Sept. 30.—There have been 500 deaths from the bubonic plague at Tongsha, sixty miles northeast of Tientsin, since the outbreak of the epidemic.

In Hankow 30,000 natives and a score of foreign- ers have died of the malady. Head of Defunct Bank Dead. Fittsburg, Sept. 30.—John MecClurg, president of the Cosmopolitan Na- tional bank and for many years a well known business man of this city, is dead.

JAP RETRENCHMENT PLANS Projected Enterprises Will Be De- layed but Not Abandoned. Kioto, Sept. 30.—Postponement of government undertakings involving the expenditure of $100,000,000, in ac- cordance with the policy recently an- nounced by Premier Katsura, does not mean that the government has ceased activity in this direction. It is au- thoritatively stated that the funda- mental principle of the postponement consists in so arranging the funds for the projected enterprises that they may be carried out without retrench- ment, but by deferring their comple- tion three or four years. In recent years there has developed a consider- able growth of the annual surplus, which it is expected the government will hereafter utilize in developments of u peaceful character. DENIED BY SHAUGHNESSY Canadian Pacific Not Negotiating for Great Western. Montreal, Sept. 30.—“If I had been going to negotiate for the purchase of the Chicago Great Western—which I am not—I would not have gone to Minneapolis, but to London. The line fs in the hands of receivers and it is owned by Euglish shareholders.

AT FIVE DOLLARS A WEEK Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Secures Job in Carpet Factory. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 30.—Alvin H. Higgins, vice president and general manager of the Hartford Carpet cor- poration at Thompsonville, has no fears that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., will require many years to master the intricacies of the business. Mr. Hig- gins stated that he expected his prom- inent apprentice to get into the work by Thursday and that he would pay him a weekly salary of $5 or $6. This will be increased as his services be- come more valuable.

He will follow abso- lutely all the mill’s regulations and must report for work at 7 o'clock in the morning and work hard ten and a half hours every day. 1iven while Mr. TarIt IS campalgning the impetus he gave the work-on the Panama canal goes steadily on, EIGHT-HOUR LAW IS KNOCKED 0UT Statute 'Affected Wisconsin Railroad Operators, DECISION IS FARREACHING In Effect It Practically Prohibits the State Legislature. From Enacting Legislation Relating to Hours of La- bor on Interstate Railroads as Long as There Is a Federal Statute in Force on the Subject. Madiscn, Wis., Sept. 30.—The su- Dreme court has declared @s unconsti- tutional the Wisconsin eight-hour rail- read telegraphers’ law, which was en- acted at the 1907 session of the legis- lature. The law is declared unconsti- tutional on the theory that it is in conflict with the provisions of the fed- eral Constitution, which clothes con- gress with the power to regulate inter- state commerce, and, further, on the theory that congress, having already provided a law fixing the hours of railway telegraphers from nine to thirteen hours, it was not within the power of the state to enact a law which would in effect change the hours of labor. In effect the decision is one of the most farreaching of the court, as it practically prohibits the state from enacting laws relating to the hours of labor on interstate railroads as long as there is a federal statute in force. By another decision of the supreme conrt divorced persons in Wisconsin are prohibited from marrying again within one year and any such mar- rlage during such period after divorce is null and void. The decision was in connection with a divorcee who went to Michigan before the expiration of a year, married again and returned to ‘Wisconsin. The court rules that such pretended marriage will not be recog- nized by the courts of Wisconsin. KERN AND SHERMAN MEET Vice Presidential Candidates Discuss the Weather.

Mr. Kern was standing in the lobby of the Auditorium Annex when a by- stander rushed up and asked to shake hands with “the next vice president.” “Certainly, with pleasure,” said Mr. Kern, “but to make sure you would better shake hands with that man over there—that one with the side whis- kers. That fs Mr. Sherman” The stranger did as suggested and then Mr. Sherman and Mr. Kern began moving toward each other and pres- ently the long, sinewy hand of the sec- ond man on the Democratic ticket ‘was grasped in the plump one of his Republican opponent. They smiled genially, exchanged felicitations on the drop in the tem- perature and c*her commonplaces and then departed to catch trains. IN COURTESY TO TAFT. Bryan Asks That His Lithographs Be Removed at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30.—William J. Bryan has asked the Democrats of Lincoln to remove the lithographs of himself from store and residence win- dows during the visit of W. H. Taft to Lincoln.
