Decision Was Concurred In All the Member Were Present Ex cept Secretaries Ballinger, Dickin son and Nagel. After a cabinet mooting lasting nearly four hours President Tafl caused tbe announcement to be made that he had directed Secretary of Ag riculture Wilson to dismiss Glfford Vljfhot from the oflteo of forester ol tho agriculture department.

The action of the president on the eve of the congress investigation into the alleg.il ions and Insinuations against Secretary of the Interior Ball ingt.r'a conduct of the policy of con serving nntural resources is certain to cause a sensation.

DIED IN HOLE HE DUG tlnkelstein's Body Found In Tunne He Was Making Toward Jewelry Store. The diggers found Isaac Finkelsteiti dead in the- tunnel he was grubbini under Ludlow street, New York city towards Grand street and Zirinskt'i diamonds. A caveln, caused no doubl by the rumbling of a heavy trucl along the asphalt overhead, had broker down the walls of hla burrow, cutting off his retreat to the cellar of th new building at C3 Ludlow and smoth ering him under many feet of heuvj dump sand. There were certain Indications thai he made a desperate effort to claw I way out. But Finklesteln did noi have a chance In the world. Betweer him and the entrance of the tunne. the caveln had built up a fivo-fool wall of earth and stone. The street was ten feet above his head. H could not have kept alive more thar a few minuteB at most after the tunne! gave way. From the tunnel the diggers un earthed a shovel and a sack. Nobod) knows how long Flnkelstein had beer mining under Ludlow street, an Inch at a time. Three months would havt been hardly enough time for the job.

CHILD TAKEN FROM FATHER Judge Declared Grandmother's Affec tion Stronger and More Cherishing. Declaring his conviction that as a general rule the love of a grand motner is next to that of a mother for a child, and that the granimothei is better suited to care for a child than a father, Judge Lucien Burpee at New Haven, Conn., on Friday of last week handed down a decision in the superior court giving an 8-year-old daughter into the custody of her grandmother rather than the father. Judge Burpee granted a divorce to C. F. Hofaker from Julia Hofaker on statutory grounds and the father of the child dem?nded its custody. The couple separated iu 1907, Mrs. Hofaker taking the child to her mother. Last August the father took the child away and the grandmother testified In court that she had grieved for the little girl evei since. "I would give my life for her," ex claimed the grandmother and turning to the girl's father asked "Would you?" The latter made no reply. Judge Burpee added: "I am satisfied that next to a mother's love that of a grandmother is the strongest. While a father may be as fond 83 possible of his child the love of a grandmother is a more cherishing and stronger kind of affection, which makes the grand mother the more competent to rear and care for a child." NOT READY FOR FRANCHISE Indians Petition Congress That Suf frage Be Not Thrust Upon Them. Fifteen thousand members of the Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw nnd Cher okee Indian tribes have Joined In a pe tition to congress and the president, asking that citizenship be withheld from them ou the ground that they are not prepared to exercise such respon sibility and that the United States con tinue as their guardian. Eaufaula Harjo, head man of the Four Mothers, as the joint council of the four tribes is called, Is at thecapltal to present the petition. He says his fel low tribesmen are unfitted by educa tion and training to be citizens of the United States. They are less fitted for such responsibility, he says, than the negroes, who had the advantage of association with white people before they were admitted to citizenship.

At Caucus of Republicans on Wednes day Night Insurgents Will Take Op portunity to Say Some Sharp Things About Chairman McKlnley and Sec retary Loudenslager Many Mem ber Fear They Will Lose Their Scalp Through Loyalty to Cannon. Washington, Jan. 11. There may be the livellst kind of a row among the regular Republicans of the house over the statement given out at the head quarters of the Republican congres sional committee and purporting to come from the organization, in which notice was given that the insurgents frere little better than Democrats and that their recent activities placed them outside the pale of the party. It became known today that the statement which kicked up a lot of excitement at the capital was not au thorlzed by the Republican congres sional committee as represented but was given out by Representatives Mc Klnley of Illinois and Henry Louden slager of New Jersey. The first intimation that the state ment which has aroused the Insurg ents was not authorized by the com mittee itself but by some of its offi cers came from Vice Chairman James A. Tawney of Minnesota. "The statement that appeared in the newspapers this morning purporting to come from the Republican congres sional committee never came under my eye until I saw it In print," said Mr. Tawney. That is all Mr. Tawney would say on the subject. Caucus on Wednesday Night. A caucus of the Republicans will be held on Wednesday night to ratify the selections of the various state delegations of their nominees to the Republican congressional committee. The insurgents will take advantage of the opportunity to say some, sharp things about Chairman McKlnley an Secretary Loudenslager and the affair may wind up in a fight. Some effort doubtless will be made by the insurgents to ascertain wheth er the sentiments expressed in the document bearing the label of the Re publican congressional committee are entertained by President Taft. Some of the regulars declare that the statement sets forth precisely what Is In the president's mind and foreshadows, they add, drastic action by the administration to beat the in surgents into line or drive them out of the party. If Spepker Cannon would only make a statement that he Is satisfied with the honors that have been heaped upon him in his long career in public life and would not be a candidate for re-election 1o the speakership of the Sixty-second congress it would please a gcod many of his friends who are now in imminent danger of losing their po litical Bcalns by reason of their known loyalty to him. One of the biggest Republicans In the house, a man who is respected by Republicans an.1 Democrats alike for' his ability as a member and his Integ rity as a man, said that he had no doubts his refusal to repudiate the speaker would lose him the nomination in his district next fall. The situatlon in the house Is getting more acuate every minute, there seems to be no doubt of It. Representative Gardner (Mass.), who has been In a state of revolt ever since the rules row in the house at the beginning of the special tariff ses sion of congress and in which he took an active part, smeared himself with war paint again today and Is now whnopmg it up as lively as ever. Mr. Gardner said: "I am not even remotely opposed In a personal way to Mr. Cannon but merely to the system by which this house Is run." "Get Out of the Party." The insurgents held a meeting last night at the home of one of them and talked over the statement purporting to have been issued by the Republican congressional campaign , committee but which Vice Chairman Tawney says he never saw and which Mr. Taft is now understood not to have graced with his O. K. Several of them ex pressed the opinion, which all seemed ed to share, that if as reported Chair man McKlnley and Representative Loudenslager had put out this "get cut of the party statement" without consulting their colleagues It would do a w.hole lot to irritate members who are row wavering between love and duty, between allegiance to the Cannon cause through the memory o( past favors and a desire to bolt the reservation and save their political ex istence and bring them Into the In surgent camp. 10 PER CENT ADVANCE Notice Posted In All the Plant of the H.

New York, Jan. 11.---Dr. Salvador CaRtrlllo, envoy of the Estrada party in Nicaragua to Washington, was at the Imperial today. In an interview .he said: "There is no need for American in tervention in the Nicaraguan situation. We are satisfied with American sym pathy. The help we wanted was only a moral help." He expressed the be lief there would bo no further fighting because he declared Madrlz had no following. The people were all for Estrada. "What," he was asked, "will General pstrada do with Madrlz If he gets him?" "Well. I think Madrlz will soon go cut. If Madrlz wants to stay he can, as a citizen. Estrada will do nothing In the way of personal revenge. Why, If Zelaya himself were to fall into the hands of General Estrada the latter would turn him over to the courts to be judged, and would not seek person al revenge. "There is a great misunderstanding here, I think, about the mission of General Fornos Diaz, who was drawn ed a few days ago on his way to Bee Madrlz. Diaz was not going as the official representative of Estrada to settle terms of peace. His was a per sonal mission entirely. He had long been a personal friend of Madriz. Al most everybody In Nicaragua loved Diaz and he thought he had Influence over Madriz and that if he could talk with him and show him how unten able was his position, Madrlz would be persuaded to cease his opposition to Estrada and retire in favor of a president that would be regularly elected." OLD-AGE PENSIONS Representative Coudrey Introduce Bill to Benefit Those Whose In come Is Less Than $153. Washington, Jan. 11.
