That by Mrs. W, X. Hutt yot this city, Btlrred the congress as. no.-hai.il tin nilipr hail done. It was difficult work for the resolutions com mittee, when she concluded, to pre vent the congress from being carried off Its feet by a resolution doelarln for the establishment of a national department ot health. The New Yorn delegation was the first to show 1U practical appreciation, for no sooner had she left the platform than 0111 of the leading horticulturists of th.

Those sections which, be cause of local problems, were In neml of local remedies, were favorably con ldered by the congress and steps were taken to ameliorate their condi tions. Fifty-one resolutions were consid ered by the committee, thirty of which were endorsed. Most of those reject ed were in the main agreed to In their provisions by the committee, but -looking at them from the standpoint of perspective, it was thought advisable to adopt only those which were pre sented to the congress. Five were consolidated with other resolutions. Resolutions were adopted on the following subjects: Upholding the oleoma rgerlne law and opposing its repeal or weakening.

His Majesty Paired the Day Quietly Willi Children and Grandchildren. London, Nov. 9. "Edward VII, by the Grace of (iod of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland and of tho British. Dominions Beyond tho Seas King, Defender of the Faith, Em peror of India," reached his sixty eighth birthday today. His Majesty passed the day quietly with his chil dnn and grandchildren, the latter vying with each other In their expres sions of fondness for their beloved "grandpa." From early morning congratulations poured In upon the King from all parts of the world, and presents ar rived throughout the day from roya! and distinguished personages. Nearly 2,000 messages were received, Includ ing a very cordial one from the Ger man Emperor. To each one a cordial acknowledgment was sent, many of them In the King's autograph. The Indon salute of forty-one guns honor of the King's birthday wa fired at noon in St. James' Park. The royal garrison artillery at the Tower also fired the customary royal salute. At the government offices the Union Jack wVs llown, and the several for- lgn embassies and legations hoisted their distinctive flags. The anniver sary was observed at Windsor by the ringing of . the bells of St George's Chapel and the parish church. The public buildings were decorated, and a salute was fired in the Long Walk. In all naval ports and at military stations at home and abroad the day was marked by special observances At Portsmouth the whole of the war ships . In commission were dressed overall with flags, and at noon a sa lute of twenty-one guns was fired. Among all the occupants of Euro pean thrones King Edward today Is undoubtedly the most beloved by his subjects. .Although held In high ea teem while Prince of Wales and heir apparent, he has attained much greater popularity since he has wield ed 'the' sce,)i re.' Ills intervention in the 'budget controversy to prevent what threaitns to become a constitu tional crisis has afforded further evl- lonce of his tact and prudence. The King Is credited with opposing the outright rejection of the budget by the Lords. Instead, he Is said to favor he adoption by the peers of a resolu tion declining to take action until tltt- country, at a general election, has expressed Its opinion on the merits of the budget. LOSS IS H ALF MILLION.- Through Alleged Defalcations of the Treasurer of His four System. New York, Nov. 8. The loss to the Big Four Itallway through the alleged defalcations of C. L. Warriner, its lo cal treasurer at Cincinnati, ultimately will amount to about $500,000, accord ing to a statement Issued in New'York by Albert H. Harris, vice-president of the New York Central lines, includ ing the Big Four. "The amount of the defalcations," says the statement, "has been ascer tained to be $643,000. Warriner ha? turned over to the company property amounting to more than $100,000 and there will be received from the Amer- can Surety Company, on its bond, 0,000, leaving a net amount of the hortage something less than $500,000 The method which Warriner adopted was to cover his defalcations in the Item of 'cash in transit." " At the end of each month there are considerable sums of money on their way to the local treasurer from sta tion agents, and others which have not been received by him. It was by including in this item the money which he had in fact stolen that he was enabled to conceal his defalca tions. EIGHT BURNED TO DEATH. Five Others Seriously Injured in Mak ing Their Escape. New York, .Nov. 8. Iron barred windowB prevented the escape from death by fire of eight workers in Rob ert Morrison & Sons comb factory in Brooklyn today, and five other men were probably fatally injured in mak ing their escape from the building. William Morrison, son of the owner of the plant, lost his life in the flames while trying to reach the safe and close Its doors. His father was am ng the injured. Luckily there were only forty em ployes In the factory when the fire started, for the spread of the flames was rapid in the inflammable comb material. Many men jumped from the third floor windows and were injured. Those who rushed to the rear found the windows barred and there met their doom. Nearly all of the victims were Italians.

Refusal of University of Copenhagen to Permit Committee to Attend As Witnesses Has Caused Surprise and Regret Washington, D. C Nov. 8. To pass on the question as to whether the north pole was discovered before 1909 that Is as to whether Dr. Cook reach ed it a year prior to Commander Peary, the board of managers of the National Geographic Society today ap' pointed the following committee: J jfoward Gore, formerly professor of mathematics George Washington Uni versity; Rear Admiral John E. Pills- bury, of the navy, and Dr. C. Willard Hay.s. thief geologist of the geology leal Burvey. A change from the committee which recently passed on the Peary records was made in accordance with the rec ommendation of the committee on re search of the society and because it was thought that this would be fairer to Dr. Cook. The committee, It was announced will not go to Copenhagen in the prosecution of its Inquiry, but will rely on data obtained otherwise. For this purpose it will have au thority to interrogate such persons and make such journeys as may be regarded essential to finally deter mine the question of the discovery of tho role. The action of the University of Co penhagen in refusing to permit a committee of the National Geographic Society to attend the examination as witnesses merely of Cook's records has caused surprise and regret. Among some of the society there i:i a feeling that grave mistake was made by Rear Admiral Chester, one of the committee who examined the Peary records, when In a public speech Sat urday night he discredited Dr. Cook's claims to the discovery of the pole. . Commander Peary arrived in Wash ington today and proceeded at once to the Navy ' Department, where he met Aslstant Secretary Wlnthrop and a number of his fellow officers. It was !i.e ,rst. visit paid by him to the de partment ' since his return from the Arctic. Cook Preparing Data. New York, Nov. 8. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, is at a "quiet place away from New York preparing his north pole data for submission to Copenhagen University." A statement issued tonight by his lawyer says: "Dr. Cook's time was' so invaded while in New York, and he was under such surveillance by persons seeming ly interested in his movements and those of his counsel and friends, that he decided to continue the work upon the data for Copenhagen in a quiet place away from New York. When his work on that data has been com pleted Dr. Cook will resume his ac tivities in New York and elsewhere as usual." - It is denied that messages to and from Dr. Cook at his New York hotel were intercepted, but the statement says that the contents of messages sent to Dr. Cook in the West were 'published before they reached him."

State Geologist Says the Members of the Touring Party Have Sot Yet Stopped Talking About . Sorth Carolina Roads. Raleigh News and Observer. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geol ogist, arrived In Raleigh yesterday from Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Pratt took part in the New York to Atlanta automo bile tour, that has Just completed un der the auspices of the New York Her ald and Atlanta Journal. He repre sented the South on the committee of road judges, who will award the prize: to the counties which contained the best work along the route. The oth' ers on the committee were Mr. w. L. Westgard, president of the Automo bile Touring Club of America, repre senting the North, and Mr. W. C. Hoyt of the United States office of public roads, representing the government. The report of the committee will be made about November 12. Mr. Pratt stated that the tourists were very much surprised at the good condition of the roads in the Southern states; that they had expected to find them so rough that the days' trips would seem long and tedious. Instead, the roads were in good condition and the tourists were able to make the day's run easily and comfortably. North Carolina's roads exceeded by far the expectations of the tourists, and they are still talking about them. This State has done more work on its pub lic roads than any of the other South ern states crossed by the tourists. All along tho route the people were most enthusiastic in their reception to the tourists and the automoblllsts were most considerate In their attitude to wards the teams they met on the way. stopping, whenever It was necessary to permit a frightened horse to pass. At Atlanta, the city was thrown wide open to the tourists and a series of entertainments were extended to them, which ended with a banquet held at the Capital City Club. Mr. Pratt was among those who respond ed to toasts. Dr. Pratt Stated that he believed that these would be of great value in the cause of good roads throughout the South, and would also add a great deal towards removing the antagonism that exists in many rural districts against the automobile. It has demonstrated that the automo bile Is a means of transportation and can be used to good advantage by residents of our rural communities. It is another means that will assist In keeping the young people on the farm, as it makes intercourse between neighbors and country and town much easier. ECZEMA CURABLE I PROOF SOW AT 25c!

I'Hrsons, Kan., has adoptej the commission form of government. Secretary of the Interior Balllnger has made denial of the report that he intended to run for the Senate to suc ceed Senator Piles, of Washington. Democrats of Spokane are reported to be organizing to oppose the adop tion of the commission form of gov ernment for that city. The Michigan Equal Suffrage Asso ciation will hold a convention in Grand Rapids this month to start campaign for the enfranchisement of Michigan women, Janesvllle will probably be the first Wisconsin city to vote on the question of adopting the commission plan of government. Frank W. Mondell, who has been congressman-at-large from Wyoming since 1899, has been elected president of the International Dry Farming Con gress. S. E. Prouty, of Des Moines, has made formal announcement of his candidacy for member of Congress from the Seventh Iowa district, now filled by Representative J. A T. Hull Opposition among West Virginia Republican leaders to the re-election of Senator Scott appears to be fading away, and the indications are that the senator will be re-elected when the legislature meets in 1910. Senator Aldrlch will speak at the dinner of the New York Chamber of Commerce, November 18. He will not make the proposed central bank the chief burden of his remarks, but will sketch the work which Is done by the monetary commission with such In ferences as he may choose to suggest. The fate of the saloon in Alabama for years to come will be decided at the end of this month, when a vote is to be taken on a constitutional amendment placing prohibition In the mlttlng that there have been deser mlttlng that there have been deesr Hons from the ranks, the prohibition ists express confidence in their ability to carry the amendment and assert that they have made more than enough converts from the opposition to offset the votes of those who have gone to the other side. For many years Oregon had the dis tinction of being the first state In the Union to record its vote on party Is sues In a presidential year. This dis tinction ceased to exist at the last general election in June, when the people of the state changed the time of holding the general election from June to November. Senator Bourne has a plan by which this prestige may be regained and suggests that the peo ple of the state nominate the presi dential electors at the primaries in October of the presidential year. This, he says, would serve to show to the nation at large the trend of public sentiment. Restores Constitutional Guarantees. Madrid, Nov. 8.
