"Why. the Preeldent hasn t even told

the time comes it will be about like this:
Monday. Little Tim lunches at the White
House. Tuesday Little Tim gives out a
statement in New York saying that it la

I talked the other day with one or the
Republican Assemblymen from Brooklyn.
He Is loyal to Woodruff, but thoroughly
realties that the state chairman Is en
gaged In a battle that Is bound to end
in defeat. ,, .
"Woodruff is our county leader. he
said "and everv Brooklyn member-elect
has pledged him hie vote. It la the pmPfr

be glad to see him elected Senator.
"Woodruff has woritea eariy aim
for the party. He has spent his wf
and devoted many days of his valuable
time to building up the organisation.
"Not even his worst enemies have hint
ed that he makes a cent out of politics.
He Is a rich man. and has made hla mil
lions himself, and made them J;0""''

000 a year. ... m
"Why shouldn't he be rewarded with a
seat in the Senate? Tim is a successful
business man. Just the kind we need In
public life. If the wishes of the rank
and file, the men who do the real worn,
were consulted. Woodruff would have a
big majority. , , .
"But I know the cards are stacked
against him. For my part I will stand
by Tim as long as he wants me, but
mere whisper from Washington would
split our Kings County delegation in half.
"The reason? Well. Roosevelt has never
lost a political fight, and President Taft
will have a lot of patronage to distrib
ute during the coming
In politics a man has to look out for
himself."
Bs-Governor Black has no expectation
of landing the prize. He realises that
even if the majority of the legislators
oppose Root they will get in line when
the bell sounds.
Black Guessed Right.
Before the last state convention. Black
announced that he favored the renoml
nation of Governor Hughes. When he
reached Saratoga the other leaders found
fault with him because he refused to join
In their fight on the Executive.
"You will not fool me this time," was
Black's smillrur reply. "I am for Hughes,
and you fellows will be for Hughes in
the end. because the bell will ring from
Oyster Bay. You are not for Hughes, but
It will be necessary for you to take your
medicine, and I will have the pleasure
of watching you." And he did.
Black is making his battle on a long
chance, and he admits that the prospects
are much against him. Here is the Inside
Black view of it.
"If Woodruff Is really fighting mad.
and can hold enough men in line with
what we have to make a majority. Black
may win. For Woodruff may throw his
votes to us. to 'get even" with Roosevelt.
The probabilities are that Roosevelt will
knuckle down in the end. He always
does."
As a matter of history, it might be In
teresting to recount Woodruff's political
failures. He was elected Lieutenant-Governor
in and served three terms of
two years each. In 1900 he blossomed out
as a candidate for Vice-President, but de
spite campaign buttons and an official
headquarters, his name was not present
ed. Roosevelt, then Governor, was nomi
nated, and Woodruff expected to be pro
moted. The Vice-Presidential boom was
transferred into a Gubernatorial boom,
but the only result was a third term as
Lieutenant Governor.
Four yeans later Woodruff carried the
fight Into the convention, but was bowled
over by Hijtglns. The following year he
wanted Denew's seat In the United
States Senate, but didn't get It.
In 190S- Woodruff supported Lieutenant
Governor Bruce for promotion. but
Hiurhes carried off the prize. He opposed
Presidential Instructions for Hughes thia
year up to the time the delegates met.
Similarly he fought the Governor's nomi
nation "last September, but got In line
when the roll was called. It will thus
be seen that Woodruff and defeat are
old friends.
Root d.-clares he is a candidate.
The Union league Club has unani
mously indorsed the Secretary of State.
Joseph H. Choate made a speech in his
favor, and a number of members went
on record as saying that Choate would
make fully as strong a candidate as Root,
and that thora waa litUa to choos be

OTHER POINTS INCLUDED
Willamette. Coos Bay, Tillamook and

Streams and Harbors to
Be Provided For.
WASHINGTON". D. C. N'ov. 18. The
annual report of. the Chief of Army En
gineers, made public today, recommends
a liberal appropriation for the water
ways of the Pacific Northwest, and these
estimates will form the basie of appro
priations to be made In the forthcoming
river and harbor bill. Among the appro
priations recommended are the following:
Columbia and Willamette Rivers fiom
Portland to the sea, J200.000; mouth of
Columbia, t450.X; Celilo Canal, 1,000,000
in addition to $146,000, which was author
ized last session; Willamette River
above Portland, J40.000; Columbia between
Vancouver and the mouth of the Willam
ette. $10,000: canal of Cascades. $108,000:
Columbia River between Celllo Falls and
the mouth of the Snake River. J75.O0O;
Snake River, J10.000; Tillamook Har
bor to Tillamook City. $15,000;
Coos River; $1500: Clatekanine River,
$500: Cowltts and Lewis Rivers," $7500. The
Chief of Engineers says It Is advisable
to place the Celllo canal under a continu
ing contract system, with the under
standing that $1,000,000 he appropriated
annually until work is completed. If this
cannot be done, at least $1,000,000 In new
appropriations is necessary next year to
enable work to proceed expeditiously.
He calls attention to the fact that the
Improvement of the channel from Port
land to the sea, as it is now progressing.
Is necessarily of a temporary character,
and no lasting benefit is being received
from dredging. Ultimately this channel
will be permanently improved by the con
struction of an elaborate system of re
vetments to confine the channel. While
expensive work Is in progress at the
mouth of the Columbia and at Celllo, he
deems it inadvisable to ask for sufficient
money to build these revetments now,
especially as continued dredging afforded
a sufficient channel for present com
merce. In addition to the foregoing es
timate, it is recommended that an an
nual appropriation be made for maintain
ing the dredge, recently built for-use In
the Harbors along the Oregon and Wash
ington Coast.
General W. -L. Marshall. Chief of En
gineers, U. S. A., also makes a strong;
appeal for an increase In the corps
of engineers.
Among other Improvements of rivers
and harbors for which an estimate Is
made for the next fiscal year are the
following:
California San Pedro Bay. $100. 100;
San Luis Obispo harbor, $100,000; Oak
land, $521,000.
Washington Grays Harbor, $100,000;
Puget Sound. $130.ftOX
Hawaii. Honolulu harbor, $500,000;

THEN SALLIE WENT HOME
Parents' Blessing Ends Elopement
of Heir and Southern Beauty.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18. A son of a Pitts
burg millionaire and a girl known in
the South for beauty, eloped from the
Pennsylvania city, were married in Dixie
land and came to Chicago yesterday
to break the news to the young man's
parents over the long-diistance telephone.
This they did last night, and after re
ceiving the parental blessing the hus
band. William B. Scaife, heir of C. C.
Scalfe, was told by his mother to "bring
Sallie home." Sallie is the former Miss
Sallie Hill, of Bolivar. Tenn. The tele
phoning was done-from the Auditorium
Annex, where the couple registered.
The marriage is an alliance of Pitts
burg millions with one of the "old fam
ilies of the South," for Miss Hill Is the
youngest daughter of Colonel Jerome
Hill, of Tennessee. According to the
telegraphic Information from Pittsburg,
the couple were married yesterday at
Bolivar. Tenn., by Bishop Gaylor.
The wedding is another chapter of the
sensational production of "Pirates of
Penzance" last June by the sons and
daughters of wealthy Pittsburg men. The
wealth of the families whose children
were represented in this play given for
charity was roughly1 estimated at $500,
000,000, and the performers were referred
to as "The billion-dollar chorus." Both
Miss Hill and Young Scaife were mem
bers of the chorus.
The girl, who was visiting her sister,
Mrs. W. S. Kuhn. of Pittsburg, was
pressed into the front row of this chorus
by eager young Pittsburgers because of
her rare beauty. It was while at re
hearsal that Scaife met her.
May Reorganize A. Booth & Co.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18. The .Booth family
and other stockholders in A. Booth &
Company, are trying to raise $600,000 cash
necessary to re-organize the company.
Nearly 60 per cent is favorable and an
underwriting syndicate may take care of
assessments on minority stockholders
who are unwilling to pay. The floating
debt is $5,800,000 and the assets, if sold,
are estimated at only $1,750,000.
Target Record Broken.
MANILA, Nov. 18. It is unofficially
stated that the battleship Nebraska, dur
ing the target practice now In progress,
broke all records established -by any
navy In the world for marksmanship
with her 12-inch guns. While the figures
are not obtainable, it is believed that
the Nebraska's crew will gain all reo--orda
for both, speed and accuracy.
Nothing Bone Till Extra Session.
Monetary Commission's Report
Not Ready, but Much Informa
tion Gained on Trip Abroad.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Senator
Hale does not anticipate any effort to
change the tariff law during the present
session of Congress.
"Once In a while," he said today, "you
will hear such a suggestion, but it is
clearly out of the question, and it will
not be undertaken, and," he added, "it
is safe to say there will not be any
radical changes when the most-talked-of
revision is made.
"Recent events have made it certain
that there will be no slaughtering of
interests. Necessarily there will be
some alterations, some readjustments,
but no general tearing down and build
ing up. It is clear that the country
does not expect nor court such a course,
and Congress will not enter upon it."
"We learned a number of Interesting
facts during our visit to Europe last
Summer, and have done much work in
this country," he said, "but it will nec
essarily be some time before we shall be
in posltien to make any definite sug
gestions for the modification of the
monetary system of the United States.
It is a big subject and will require
careful attention. It is possible
that we may ask to have some changes
in the law regulating the inspecting of
banks, but, if that is done, it will be
merely incidental."
"The Senator's return has revived the
suggestion so frequently heard since
Senator Allison's death, that he (Mr.
Hale) will succeed Mr. Allison as chair
man of the Senate committee on appro
priations, but he was evidently not In
clined to look with favor upon it. He
would only say that there would be
plenty of time to settle that question
after Congress meets three weeks
hence.
