(From a Staff Correspondent.)
' WASHINGTON. 1. C. Oct. 2.-( Special.)
At no cabinet meeting within ao short
a time have ao many subjecta been dis
cunaed aa engaged the attention of Presi
dent Taft and hla ministry at their series
of house partlea commenced Monday. All
were there except Secretary of War Dlek
inaon, who la yet in the far east, and will
probably not return to Washington until
November.
Largely engaging the attention of the
president and hla nearest counselors has
been the effort authorized by law to re
trench expenditures along the suggestion
made by Senator Aldrlch that aome hun
dreda of million of dollars might be saved
the government. The beginning of this re
form was Uie appropriation of $100,000 to
start an Investigation of the business
methods of the departmenta with a view
to cut down expenditures. A New York
business man, Frederick A. Cleveland, who
has had much experience with large busl
neaa and municipal corporation In work of
thia kind haa been appointed by the presi
dent to superintend the adventure.
Also of considerable Importance to the
country at large, two subjects lm dlately
concerning the Postofflce department were
seriously considered. They were Postal
Havings bank system and the advlsabllltj
of putting the third and fourth class post'
mantels In the classified Civil service.
The president and Ms business-like com
patriots also discussed the situation wltb
reference to the United States supreme
court, and all had a good word to say for
Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York
aa fit for chief justice in place of the late
Melville W. Fuller.
If appointed, the New York lawyer will
be the ninth ohlof justice of the supreme
court since its organisation.
Three were appointed by President Wash.
Inglon John. Jay of New .York. John Rut
ledge' of South Carolina and Oliver Ells
worth of Connecticut. None of these held
office after Washington's second term ex
pired and their tenure of office was com
paratively brief.
John Marshall of Virginia, appointed by
President John Adama, came along for the
longest time any chief justice haa ao far
been able to aerve thirty-four yeara. His
predecessors had resigned from the bench.
Jay served but six years, Kutledge but one
alttlng of the court, hla nomination having
been rejected by the senate, and Ellsworth
but four yeara. Roger B. Taney of Mary
land, like Marshall, had a long aervlce in
the exalted office twenty-eight years. The
other ohlef Justices had terms aa follows:
Salmon P. Chase of Ohio, nine yeara;
Morrison R. Walte of Ohio, fourteen years,
and Melville W. Fuller of Illinois, twenty
two yeara.

NEW YORK. Oct 1. (Special Telegram.)
Reports of another uprising in China, to
guard against which It Is reported tnat
the American army In the Phllllpplne

ONE SAD INCIDENT OF RACE
Mrs. Harold Stone, Wife of t'olnmbna
Driver, bat In Grand Stand Wait
ing to See Husband, Who
Va In Hospital.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. (Special Telegram.)
It is posslblu that the international auto
mobile race scheduled for October 15 will
be called off aa a result of the casualties
at the .mderbllt cup races. If the Auto
mobile Ciub of America does not act, the
authorities may withdraw permission for
the race to be held.
While no definite action In the matter
has been taken, the race enthusiasts who
gathered at the Garden City hotel after the
cup race were doubtful of the probability
of any grand prize race. The many injuries
and deaths around the circuit, it was said,
might cause the board of governors of the
Automobile Club of America to withdraw
their sanction of the races scheduled for
October 15, even if the Motor Cups Holding
company, wished to conduct the contest
according to arrangements. As the Auto
mobile Club of America is court of last
resort on International automobile affairs
in this country, the grand prize race could
not be un if the sanction were withdrawn
A. L. McMurtries, chairman of the techni
cal committee of the Automobile Club of
America and one of the last to leave the
course, said tonight he had heard nothing
about the abandonment of the grand prize
race. It Is the duty of Mr. McMurtries'
committee to examine the cars before they
enter the race, and he said that he had re
ceived no Instructions to abandon the
races.
Wife Watched In Grandstand.
Not knowing of the disaster that had
overtaken her husband, Harold Stone, driver
of car No. 12, who was probably fatally In
jured when his car plunged from the course
as he was rounding out the third lap In
the Vanderbllt cup race, Mrs. Stone, a
bride of only a few weeks, sat In the grand
stand and eagerly watched for her husband
to complete the circuit. Cheers and shouts
ascended as the speeding cars flashed by
and each one Mrs. Stone scanned eagerly,
trying to catch a glimpse of the one whom
above all else she hoped to see drive his
car to victory arid carry off the prize be-
fore the day closed. He did not come. j
Then Bhe began to make Inquiries and was
told that an accident had happened to his j
car, but she was not told of the nature of I
the accident until after the race was over.
At the close of the race two officials broke
the news to Mrs. Stone and she waa In
formed her husband was probably dying.
Mrs. Stone collapsed and was hurried away
In an automobile by two sympathizing
women.
Stone Is a native of Los Angeles. He
came east to Hartford, Conn., some time
ago to work for the Columbia Motor com
pany. His bride is the daughter of Dr.
Bowman, chief surgeon of the Union Pacific
railroad. They had been married only a
month and were to have started on their
honeymoon last night.

With the return of Mra. Clarence H.

work, the activities of the 100,000 suffrage
war In New York state will soon be Inaugu
rated. All the organization heada who gave out
their plans want It known that money will
be no object this winter In the "votes for
women" campaign. Realising the necessity
of sufficient campaign funds to carry out
the large and active ju ayrs.m outline the
suffragists have united to raise the money
by the big state suffrage fair to be held
enrlv In Oerumher. In which all the auf-
fraKe club of tha ,tate w, tak, part for

sfriarlsis are anx'loualv awattina- the
disclosure of Mrs. Mackay's plans for the
season, which, thoBe who discussed the pro
gram with her last spring say, will add Just
the right social touch of dignity to the
whole winter's campaign work.
One of the Plans.
One of "Jlis. Mackay's proposed plans Is
to give a series of tableaux In one of the
large theaters, which wlll show the Indi
vidual achievements of women throughout
this country.
Another plan is to put on the road a
couple of suffrage plays.
Miss Caroline Lexow, secretary of the
Collegiate Suffrage league, who has been
elected field secretary for Mrs. Mackay's
Equal Franchise society, will begin her
work October 10. Mrs. Mackay's society
has rented an additional office adjoining
the handsome suite now occupied by the
society In the Metropolitan tower.
Mrs. Mackay's society, from a member
ship of 200 a year ago, now has a member
ship of GOO. The fees have been reduced to
$2. The two newest members are Miss Olga
Nethersole, the actress, and Mrs. Stanley
Mortimer of the exclusive four hundred set.
Ida Tarbell to Talk.
Among the many activities of Mrs. Mac
kay's society wlll be six lectures on suf
frage in Maxine Elliott's theater by well
known men and women, including Miss Ida
Tarbell.
The season's program, us announced yes
terday by various organization leaders, pre
sents sufficient activities to satisfy the
most ardent suffrage worker.
"We are going to have the busiest suf
frage season New York state haa ever
known," said Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch.
"Particularly will we turn our attention to
the legislature after the numerous fall
demonstrations for suffrage are over. Criti
cism was made last winter that we did not
have enough workers at Albany. One of
our best friends In the legislature told us
that we should Increase our army of work
ers there. 1 guess no complaint of lack
of numbers will be made of the work to be
done there this year."

OAKDALE, Neb., Oct. 2. (Special Tele

Burglars gained entrance 'to the bank
through a rear door by breaking a heavy

blown open, but the safe, one of the new
type and evidently too difficult to crack
was not disturbed. Parties living near the

Postal Savings
to Dig Big Cai.al
No
More Panama Bonds Will E.
Issued if Banks Prove Success
Anticipated.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. If the postal
savings banks prove In any measure to be
the success which President Taft and
Secretary MacVeagh believe they wlll no
more Panama bonds will be Issued and
the big ditch will be dug with money
loaned to the government by depositors In
the postal banks. After conferences with
the president Secretary MacVeagh has de
cided that the treasury wlll take advantage
of the portion of the postal bank law
which allows the Issue of postal bonds for
replenishing the treasury. Under the law
05 per cent of all the postal savings banks
deposits may be Invested by the president
in bonds or other securities of the United
States when In his Judgment the general
welfare and Interests of the United States
ao require.
The treasury has already advanced 119,
000,000 for building the canal with the ex
pectation that bunds would be sold. Secre
tary MacVeagh has declared he will Issue
no more Panama bonds until the circula
tion tax on the new issue and those out
standing was equalized. Prospects of legis
lation to accompl.sh this are said to be
doubtful. By using postal savings ac
counts, provided they flow In as expected,
a further Issue of Panama bonds cun be
avoided.

ter the democratic leaders probably wlll
make New York the campaign headquar
ters. Two factors In the campaign which are
Important and uncettaln are these: Will
the "Old Guard" forget the wenrlng out It
got at Saratoga, fall In line behind Stim
son and Cole, and work loyally for tha
ticket? Will Hearst endorso either of the
tickets and which, or will he run an inde
pendent ticket?
Upon the answer of these two questions
the result of tlwi campaign depends.
In republican circles It la asserted with
apparent confidence that the "Old Guard"
will work loyally for the success of the
party. It Is the best opinion among unpre
judiced observers that while Barnes, Wood
ruff and the other deposed leaders wlll
not bolt. In fact, most of them have said
so, that they will not kill many snakes
In an effort to fix the hold of Colonel
Roosevelt on the party machinery.
As to the course of the Independence
league and Mr. Hearst, the Impression
seems to be that they either wlll Indorse
Stimson or name a ticket of their own.
Democratic Candidate DIx bolted the
nomination of Hearst In D06 and said some
pretty hard thing" about the candidates
when he did It. Hence, It Is not thought
possible the Independence league leader
wlll be found heaping coals of fire on Mr.
Dlx's bead.
Democrats and republicans differ widely
In their estimates of the Independence
lesgue strength. The former profeas to be
lieve It will not be sjrflclent to affect the
result, while tha lnur claim It will firing1"
enough votes to Stimson to offset any "Old
Guard" disaffection and render hla elec
tion sure.
