It Is the-belief of - those closest 'to

down of fences which he has put. up,
From the same source comes 'the story
that the administration will oppose any

' Southern politicians who have drifted
Into Washington in the last. lew days

otherwise Cannon and Fairbanks, will

Columbus. Ohio,' Jan. ' 4. Proof . that
Foraker leaders in the fight on Secre
tary Taft's presidential indorsement will
seek court aid In balking a state pimary
to select state convention delegates,
came tonight in the announcement from
Napoleon, a Foraker stronghold, that
an Injunction against the primaries
would be asked Monday. The papers
allege primaries will be illegal and can
not be paid for. The Foraker contend
tion Is that the primary law makes the
committee sole authority for maintain
ing the method by which ballots shaH
be cast. They assert county election
boards . need . not obey the state com
mittee. 'Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 4. At the head
quarters of Senator Foraker. who Is
opposing Secretary Taft's presidential
indorsement by Ohio Republicans, today
Was shown a clipping from the Cincin
nati S'lmes-Star, owned, by Charles P.
Taft,a Secretary Taft's ' brother, under
date Of March - 14, 1905, which redds:
"Senator Foraker will be Ohio's can
didate to the presidency."
' A head -clear - across the first .pas-
attracted attention. " The Times-Star s
Washington correspondent, spoke of Taft
. essentially a lawyer, carina; nothing
for 4elitifls and liking the smell of the
law court and books. It concluded With
the deduction that "Ohio will have a
ingle candidate, Foraker."
Worcester, Mass., Jan. -4. The first
New England Taft club was formed to
day at Mlllbury. where Mrs. Taft,
mother of the secretary of war died a
month- ago. Her fondest wish was t
live to Bee her eon in. the White House.
The club has 76 members. William

POOR ROB LIVING
TO BURY DEAD
CharityJVorker Says Fyner-
al Ostentation Frequent
ly Causes Hardships.
' Wllkesbarre, Pa,, Jan. 4. Poor people
spend too much for funerals. Is the
conclusion of Matron Bertels, of the
United Charities, of this city, who for
several years has passed upon the many
applications for aid which , are made
to the organization.
Many of these, she says, come from
widows' and ornhans. soon after the
man of the family has been burled. Fre
auentl thev are widows of minework
ers, who receive $100 to $200 from some
miners' insurance. Mrs. Bertels de
clares that. In a great majority of
cases,' not only all this is spent for the
funeral expenses, but frequently the
family, with no resources In sight, have
gone heavily in debt in order to have
an imposing funeral. They select hand
some caskets and engage a long string
of carriages. Whether they believe
such a funeral Is a tribute to the de
ceased; or whether they merely want
to' have tha credit of having a fine
funeral, Mrs. Bertels does not under
take to say. She does say, however,
that they might much better spend
the money on. the living than , on the
dead. ,
GERMANS JEALOUS OF

, Loud Gfrumbling.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Berlin, Jan. 4. German wine manu
facturers, are grumblinR at the marked
preference, which Americans show for
French as 'compared with German cham
pagne. On the other 1 hand, they are
satisfied with the recognition by Ger
mans In America of German sparkling
wines. It seems that Americans, like
the English, want their champagne dry,
and hitherto no really dry . champagne
has been prodeed In. Germany. .
It' Is well known that : On of the
many differences of opinion of tha kai
ser and the last Prince, Bismarck was
in regard to the qualities 'of German
champagne. Once., notwithstanding the
kaiser's personal recommendation at his
own table, Prince Bismarck persistently
refused the German brand, although the
kaiser urged him to drink it, "If only
out of patriotism." '

him patriotism cam a second to his

Rome. Jan. 4. The lamentable quar

family had for. a certain time ceased to
be nublic. but have now broken out
again. Some weeks ago General BIc
clottr Garibaldi tried to return to his.
father's house at Caprera by force, but
the patriot's widow- prevented this by
applying to the garrison to keep him
off' the island. Thle haa given rise to
an exchange of furious letters In the
press, closed by a fiery protest from
Garibaldi's daughter. Clelfa, whoem
phatically declarerf that she will never
allow General Rtcclottl to approach the

Brotherhood of Owls Will
,Try to Draw Refractory
Order Into Fold.
New officers, who a.re to have full
charge of the national convocation of
the Brotherhood of Owls, which meets
in Portland, January 15-18, will be
elected at the regular annual meeting of
Portland nest No. 4, B. of O. to be held
here next Tuesday evening. The pres
ent officials nave had charge of the
preliminary arrangements foV the first
general garnering or tne uwis, dui tney
will glvp way this week to the newly
selected men.
Several committees, including those
having charge of program, reception
and entertainment will be retained In
office until the grand nest session is
over and they will assist the offlctalM
who are to be selected at the annual
meeting.
Efforts are bein:j- made to appease
the. local lodge of the Order of Owls, an
eastern organization, which has been
holding meetings whenever the Broth
erhood has called a session and has
given the public impression that they
were the only official organization. At
tempts will be made by the Brotherhood
to bring the Order of Owls Into the
fold of membership of the Brotherhool
as a result of the forthcoming national
gathering.
The two organizations have been car
rying on a desultory war for the oast
year or more in the northwest and both
organizations have come to the conclu
sion that there is not enough interest
to warrant a further continuance of the
Internecine strife.
The Brotherhood is an organization
founded In the northwest and is strong
est in the cities of this section and a
sufficient showing, it is -believed can
be made by the Brotherhood to win
over the brothers who are now in the
Order of Owls. Some arrangement that
will result In the burying f the
hatchet. It is believed will be the nat
ural outcome of the national gathering
of the Brotherhood, Inasmuch as It Is
by far the stronger organization In tho
coast states.
Work of arranging the nrogram for
the convention Is now in the hands of
Executive Gus C. Moser. Secretary Jay

Chimney Blaze at Grand
Discovered. at Close of

Had the chimney fire -which started
in the Grand theatre building at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon occurred
five minutes earlier it would have been
almost impossible to have averted a se
rious If not fatal panic among the au
dience which filled the house at the
matinee performance.
As It was the last act had just been
finished and people were already leav
ing their seats when the chimney fire
was discovered and an alarm turned
In. By the time the department got
there and it became generally known
that there was a fire in the building
the last woman had left the house and
no trouble was experienced In putting
out the incipient blaze around the chim
ney. - ' J
Manager Erlckson was sitting inrhls
office in the second floor of the frame
theatre building when he v was notified
of the fire. He dropped his receiver
horrified and dashed down stairs only
to see that the audience, which was
composed of women and children as Is
usual on Saturday matinees, was filing
out and was ignorant of any danger.
.The loss was nothing and the fire
was put out without any difficulty.
