I New York, Sept. 3.Politlclana are somewhat pusaled to know where the present trjp of Colonel William Ji Bryan to Now York has to do with politics or religion. When the colonels program Is considered, the puzzlement would seem to be Justified. .' . Here it Is; . 1 ' Thts afternoon he had a long con ference with Norman E. Mack, chair man of the' Democratic national commit tee. They met at the Hoffman House, anu K Is understood went over the whole .political situation. Then he tool; lunch; eon with Rev, Dr.. "Wilbur Chapman, the famous evangelist, and discussed with him Dr. Chapman's coming round-the-world evangelistic tour. , Onest of Mayor Oaysor. At 4 this afternoon Bryan went down to 8t. James, L. I., where he Is to be the guest of Mayor Gaynor. This even ing he was driven over' to Stoneybrook, L. J., where he preached an evangelistic sermon. He will spend tomorrow morning as the guest of the mayor, cominc to New York, in the afternoon to b the guest of Dr. Christian F.1 Relsuer, formerly of Denver. In the AVAninaf Iia will nrmnh tit Grace M. E. church, of which Dr. Relsuer Is pastor. ' A pretty well mixed program, and one calculated to puzzle the politicians! ' To add to the wonderment of the politicians, there la a well founded re port that Colonel Bryan will, before he leaves the city, have a long conference with Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey. Have Betpect for Strength. The men who run New York Demo crat politics have no particular love for the Nebraska evangelist, but they have a very whole lot of respect for his strength throughout the country and when he is in , these parts follow his movements with the keenest In terest. Hence the conference with Gov ernor Wilson will be discussed wher ever politicians meet. Naturally, the New York leaders will favor the nomination of Governor Har mon, of Ohio, for the Democratic nom ination, but there Is a strong following for. both Wilson and Clark among the rank and file of the party, and in na tional affairs It is the policy to let the rank and file have pretty much what they went. The manner in which Speaker Clark has taken up the gauntlet thrown down . by President Taft has made him many friends here. The fact, too, that Wil liam R. Hearst appears to favor Mr. Clark puts him in the running with Tammany.' The Tammany leaders dis like Brfn but they hate Hearst. Nev ertheless they have felt Hearstls clan and are not anxious for a run-in with him If it can be avoided. Harmon Beport Interests. Much Interest was 'aroused hWre by the report from Columbus that Gov ernor Harmon is being urged to stand for another term as governor. Opinions differ as to where such action will help his boom for the presidential nomination or take hfm out of the. race altogether. A man high in Tammany the other day thus outlined the probable action of New York at the next Democratic convention: "We probably will put the name of Governor Dix to the convention," he said, "not with the idea that he can be nominated, but to give us a chance to' look over the field after we get to the convention." In the Republican camp Taft is the only name mentioned. That the presi dent will get the vote of New York la as certain as anything In politics can be. Claims Wot Begarded Seriously. The claims of the insurgents that they will have the votes of 12 states in the convention is not regarded . as serious. Much-Is expected by the Taft men from the president's swing around the circle whloh begins on the seven teenth of the month. Lucian Wheeler of the secret service leaves on Monday in ad va nte of the president and win con fer with the local authorities to make URGED BY TAFT TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR W. J. Calhoun, American minister to . China, who, according to Washington report, will be urged by President Taft and .Senator Cuflom to become i nation for governor of Illinois. Cal houn has been called home, from , China ror mis, purpose, n is mo, ana 'will arrive aoouttne miaaie oi Aug ust. - The president and -the senator have become alarmed, it is said, by ' the Condition of the party in Illinois. :- Should either Governor . Deneert or ' Senator Jones be nominated, the Lor lmr disaffection would, work against both, . and the..;,' progressive ; element would not support Denenn, while the ' governor's friend would knife Sen ator Jones. The, nly hope for ? the ; I party, it Is declared, is a third man, . . and Calhoun Is said, to JIU the bill. , I jC.

Sir Genille Cave-Browne-Cave, a descendant of the Cru saders, head of one of the oldest and proudest families in England, soldier of fortune, cow puncher, and rake, is now a recruit and Janitor of the Salvation Army headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y. The story of the baronet's life is one that is seldom found today outside the covers of adventurous novels. He Is 42 years old and he has crowded in those years more adventures and sensations than usually come to a dozen men in a arrangements so that when the presi dent arrives in town he will find every thing running like clock work. If there is a banquet, the sea.ts of the party will be picked out. stands upon which the president is to make his speeches will be inspected and minor details looked after. Agent Wheeler has had much experi ence in this line, both with ex-President Roosevelt and President Taft, and when the latter leaves Beverly he will have the satisfaction of knowing that everything is arranged. DIES AT HOME IN TEXAS Publisher. ' Prr-i Leased Wire.) Corslcana, Texas, Sept. 2. Former United States Senator R. Q. Mills of Texas died at his home here today. Senator Mills was the author of the 188S customs bill known as the Mills' tariff, and for many years a leading member of congress, and was born in 1833 near Salem, Ky. He moved to Palestine, Texas, in 1849 and soon after began the study of law. In 1872 Mr. Mills was nominated by acclamation for congress and entered upon his long and distinguished career at once. He was chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the house when he drew the Mills tariff bill, upon which the presi dential election was contested. Representtive Mills ' entered the United States senate In March, 1892, as the successor of Senator Chilton.

He has ben a sailor and a prospector. He has been a cowboy and soldier under two flags. And he has been through every form of dissipa tion possible to a hot-blooded, uncon trolled young man with ah allowance of $25,000 a year. "I have fought every kind of men in the wosld," he says, "and the rest of my life will be devoted to fighting the devil. I have spent most of my time trying to destroy the bodies of men including my own. I will now try to save their souls."' SINGLE TAXERS L Speakers Compare the Great Leader With the Prophets of Bible Times Ministers and Churches Scored. Henry George was eulogized last night at a meeting held at the East Side Baptist church, at East Twentieth and East Ankeny streets, ln celebra tion of the seventy-second anniversary of the birth of the great single tax ad vocate. Speeches were made by a number of prominent single taxers, among whom were F. E. Coulter. E. S. J. McAllister, president of the Oregon Single Tax so ciety; H. V. Wagnon. A. 8. Cridge, A- M. Hines and Charles H. Hartman. In ringing speeches' the struggles of Henry George to uplift the downtrodden were pictured, and of his sacrifices to spread the gospel of what the speeches termed to be the greatest economic truth of the ages. "Justice was the guildlng star of his ... mm. ' mL tti :, life the same as It was of the life of tne iMararene, saio ir. jMCAinsier. What he stood for Is flung farther in to the breezes of the world today than any other thought of man. Scares Ministers. "The church today cannot espouse the truth," he said. "Preachers can no more preach economic truth as taught by Henry George flian they can preach the simple truth of Christ." The speaker 6trongly condemned the system and conditions resulting there from, which, he said, bound the hands of ministers of the gospels until their messages were but mockery. "There is no more barren field in all the 'world today than In the Institutions that bear his name to plant the truth of the Nazarene." he said. "No man ev er knew Henry George that did not love him. Not man ever came In touch with him but felt the uplift of his great spir it. No man ever looked upon his form, watched his movements, and caught the silver rhythm of that matchless voice but felt he was a prophet of God." The speaker then compared him to Moses. Samuel, Exekial and other proph ets of the scriptures and said none was more truly sent by God to deliver a message than Henry George. -fv - Charon Has Been Derelict. F. E. Coulter pleaded with his audi ence to get Into closer harmony with the great spirit that animated Henry George. ( "This Is the great spirit of Henry George," he said. "Society has no right to impose duties of any kind or taxes of any kind upon righteous citizens. "That is the message of Jesus. We have teen' derelict in . interpreting the spirit of Henry George the same as the AUD THE NAME OFHENRYGEORGt WORK ON church has been derelict in Interpreting 1,0,18 of the practicability of their cage the spirit of Christ. m"'"', .

The secrecy which Surrounds divorces such as those obtained by John Jacob Astor, Frank J. Gould, and other notables among the rich In society, was condemned in the supreme, court today by Justice Goff as contrary to the best Interests of the public. ' Justice Goff handed down a decision coring this practice of. getting rid of an Irksome husband or wife by the secret divorce route, in connection with his Judgment that A. P. Lelghton, a wealthy contractor. Is entitled to a de cree of a,bnoute. divorce from MaHon S. Lelghton, The, court approved a re port of Referee .William Allen, recom mending hat Lelghton be given a di vorce because of his wife's misconduct With one William H. Hubbell, of War renton, Va. . Trial Was Secret. The' trial was held secretly before referee and nothing might have been made public concerning the case ..had Bof the lawyers for the two parties requested that Justice -Goff should "seal th ""tapers." Judge Goff said: "The report of the referee should be confirmed and the decree awarded. No further observation would be neces sary were it not fbr the stipulation and request by the attorneys that the tes timony and report be sealed. "This mealis that the record of an action at law should be held In In violable secrecy. This Is the only rea son" that can be rationally . advanced to Justify, the exception and It Is both fallacious and mischievous. Only Oat Cause Possible. "I is common knowledge that In this state a divorce can be decreed on only one' cause adultery of one of the par ties. Were it the general rule to sup press testimony in all divorce cases, its propriety and usefulness might be de fended, but it is a gross delusion to attempt to conserve public morals by the suppression of the testimony in one case while in- hundreds of other cases the meritorious details are pub licly narrated. "This suggests the idea of privilege and favoritism. Of all evils that may assail the administration of Justice, this is the most insidious. The request to seal is denied." REPAIR ' SHOP IS HALTED Operations to Wait Until a Further Appropriation Is Made. Work on the construction of the large car repair shop of the O.-W. R. & N. company in the Alblna yards was or dered discontinued yesterday afternoon. General Manager J. P. O'Brien stated last night that discontinuation of the work had nothing to do with the threat ened strike, but that the step was taicen because of lack of further appropria tion to carry on the work. The building is of corrugated iron construction and when completed will have cost approximately 75,000. The sum of $40,000 has already been ex pended and Mr. O'Brien stated that the building will be of no value until fully completed. He says work will be re- inumou m liuauj ai ine reijuirea imouni I jB ma(je available. We found our fund on hunrf run ning low," said Mr. O'Brien, "and so decided to stop work on the building until a new appropriation can be made. We have already expended $40,000 and will spend $30,000 more in completing the building. It has nothing ta do with the strike talk, of which I know noth ing except what 1 glean from the news papers. We will continue work on the building aa soon as an appropriation is made for the required amount." Tests of Odd Type May Show They're Not So Good As Old. (ftnerlal to The Journal.) San Francisco, Sept. 2. Tests of ef ficiency of the new cage masts re cently Installed on the cruisers of the Pacific fleet and on many of the war ships of the Atlantic fleet may result In a discovery that the old military masts are the better, after all. The cruisers West Virginia and Colo rado have arrived In port from Tuget sound with reports of detailed observa- speed over 15 knots per 'hour. They found that at high speed there was a' twisting motion from the peaks down which they ascribed to the lightness of the materials used In construction. I. Hay Fever Merely a Habit.
