London Journal (Newspaper) - July 27, 1728, London, Middlesex The LONDON JOURNAL. Saturday, Jufy 27. 17x8. Numb. 469. Virg. Til the Author of the Londo.v Journhl. y - ^i-i Afits ', pacifque imponere msrem. Parcere SubjeBis, & debellare fuperb*:. SIR, \S the Powers of Europe art fo~ lemnly afllmbled to fettle the Peace, and adjuft the Rights, of r.11 the contending Princes, it may not be thought unfeafon-. able to offer fome modeji Con-jeBurcs cn this Affair: poflibly it may influence a better Enquiry; and the lead Attention in this Cafe will afford us a Profpeft furficicntly delightful, and far, very far from precarious. The BALLANCE of Europe has been generally agreed to be an Equality of Power in the Hands of the Eitiperor and France ; and 'tis certain that rhofe are the onlj Monarchs who canpoffibly bid fair for univerfal Empire: 'Tis therefore the Intereft of all che Princes, their Neighbours, to keep them within fuch Bounds as are natural and fafe. It has long been the Labour of Great Britain to iecure rhofe Limits ; and we may with Juftice and Rea-fon aflert, that thole Powers at this Time are equal, and their Neighbours confequently free. Great Britain has been laid, to hold this ufeful Ballance; ro regulate the Scales whenever they became unequal; and thereby to preferve the general Peace and Freedom. If then we preferve this Ballance by our prefoit Negotiations at Soijfons, we acquit our felves with alt the Wifdom our Neighbours expect, and with aH rhe Juftice our People require. The Crown of France has the Mediation in this pre-fent Congrefs; and from thence fome malevolent Terfons have been bold ro infinune, that our Glory is departed, and our influence on the Ballance is loft: yet we cannot bucobftrve, the principal Powers (i.e. the Emperor and France) are equal in all Refpe&s ; neither encroaches, neither compla'ns ; how then can the Ballance be loftl Have they quarreld, and have we been incapable to eftablilh their Peace? Have they united in order to /wallow us up ? Or how have we departed from our Glory in this great Concern. The only Points in Queftion at prefent are the Oftend Company, and the Lojfes fultain'd by our Trading Intereft in the late Rupcure ; for it can never be thought Gibraltar will be try d for at a Congrefs, when it cou'd not be taken by a Siege ; this would be fuch low Game as no Prince of Spirit would ftoop to, and all the World muff laugh at ; nor Will the Powers conven'd pretend to give up a Fof-trefs by Arbitration, that is noc to be come at by Fire or Sword. The Company of Oftend is the Bone of Contention between Britain and the Emperor, which it cannot be thought the Maritime Powers will ever fuffer to proceed in Trade; nor is is to be fear'd the Impe-rialifls will ever purfue that Project, unltfs they might do it without fuch a dangerous Hazard. France and Urlland ate but ill affected to its Efta-blifhment, the latter being its inveterate Enemy, and the former jealous of its Growth. The Emperor himfelf feems to decline all Thoughts of it, by having fufpended the Trade, and divided great Part of the Capital; by having rurn'd his Eyes to his Ports in the Adriatick Se.t, and other Proceedings of the like kind. Shall we then, after all this, be taught to fear the Congr.fs will hurt us in this Point, and eftablifh a Commerce thus abandon d by its beft and moft fanguine Friends ? If Gibraltar be out of this Queftion (and ir would be moft extravagant to think it a Point in Debate) the Lofles of our Merchants and the s. .S. Company, will be the only Affairs to determine; Affairs that are not of fuch Importance as to embroil us, or keep us long in Sufpence ; 'tis juft that we fhould ftrft refer theft to an amicable Mediation, and if that fhould fail us, we may then recur to Arms : But rhe Crown of Spain is not in any Condition to withftandus when we come to Blows, and will hardly ever hazard fuch a dangerous Iffue; it will coft them fo much Blood and Treafure, as muft over-ballance all our Demands; and the Spanijb Minifbry muft be loft to all juft Politicks, if they incur an Expence fo heavy, and which may fo well be avoided. (Price Two-pence) Our penetrating Politicians have been very clamorous in relation to the Danijb Company at Altena; but did they confider the Condition of Denmark, they would almoft have as little reafon to fear the Effects of a Company in Lapland: The Danes have little Money to trade with, nor will they truft what they have in their own Country, as the Banks of Amperdam and Hamburgh can witnefs; Will any one therefore venture their Effects under the dreadful Protection of fuch anarbitary and neceffttouiQo-vemment, or can this retard the happy Ijfue of a Congrefs at a Time when Peace is fo much defired ? The Truth is, fuch Conventions meet rather for Ceremony than Buftne/s; and if the Parties concern'd are not agreed in the chief Points before they open the Treaty, it ftldom comes to any good Conclufion. If that of Cambray be confider'd, it will be found an Inftance of the Truth I would inculcate, for the Points contended there refpected meer Trifles ; the Imperialifts and Spaniards difputed about Titles of Ceremony, Orders- of Knighthood, &c. and having little Defire or Occajion to agree, they quar-rel'd out of mere Humour and Diflike of each other. They therefore met with no Preparations of Amity, and went on with no Defigns to conclude a Friendpip ; but afrer all, they Ihew'd the -World a Treaty was eaftly made, when 'twas mutually defired. Tor my part, diJ I obferve long and warm Debates in this Affair, I fhould imagine real Difficulties fubfijling; but as the Cafe ftands, I take it, the Points in Iflue will be foon adjufted, and a Treaty Jlortly concluded, yet we muft allow for the Forms of Proceeding. And indeed if we reflect on rhe Congreis of Kimegueii, that which King William held at the Hague, and the great Convention at Utrecht, we mall find they were all long and tedious, when we confider how few Days were employ'd in Bufinefs, and how many were allow'd for the Forms eflcntial to good Courtiers. I know how many refteB, that this Quarrel with rhe Emperor had never happen'd if Bremen and Verhden had been out of the Cafe ; but we have been affur'd in a great Ajfembly, that his late Majefty might long ago have had the defired Inve-Jliture, would he have paid the Fees demanded. I know likewife that others aflert, we might have found all the Powers of Europe applying to us, if we had not concerted Meafures lb early with France; but that being more than any one could affure to us, it v.::s certainly right and weUjudg'd to make an Engagement for our Security againft the Defigns of a very powerful Alliance. I muft alfo take Notice of the late Complaints about Spanifi Privateers, and the Damages our Merchants have fufTer'd, even fince the Congrefs was open'd. But having made ftriS Enquiry into this Affair, and finding that moft of thefe Privateers are mann'd with the People of all Nations, I am apt to conclude that not a few of them are Pirates, who formerly molefted us in open Defiance to the Laws of Nations, and now go on in the very fame way, under Shew of the King of Spain's Colours. However, we may firmly rely on the Wifdom of his Majefty s Councils; nor can we doubt the fuperior Influence of Great Britain will procure ample Juftice to our Trading Intereft, and a lofting, fafe, and honourable Peace to all the European World.

VA falls short on female medical issues

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Already pilloried for long wait times for medical appointments, the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs has fallen short of another commitment: to attend to the needs of the rising ranks of female veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them of child-bearing age.

 Even the head of the VA's office of women's health acknowledges that persistent shortcomings remain in caring for the 390,000 female vets seen last year at its hospitals and clinics - despite an investment of more than $1.3 billion since 2008, including the training of hundreds of medical professionals in the fundamentals of treating the female body.

 According to an Associated Press review of VA internal documents, inspector general reports and interviews:

 -Nationwide, nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff. And about 140 of the 920 community-based clinics serving veterans in rural areas do not have a designated women's health provider, despite the goal that every clinic would have one.

 -When community-based clinics refer veterans to a nearby university or other private medical facility to be screened for breast cancer, more than half the time their mammogram results are not provided to patients within two weeks, as required under VA policy.

 -Female veterans have been placed on the VA's Electronic Wait List, which consists of all new patients for whom appointments cannot be scheduled in 90 days or less, at a higher rate than male veterans.

 -And according to a VA presentation last year, female veterans of child-bearing age were far more likely to be given medications that can cause birth defects than were women being treated through a private HMO.

 "Are there problems? Yes," said Dr. Patricia Hayes, the VA's chief consultant for women's health in an AP interview. "The good news for our health care system is that as the number of women increases dramatically, we are going to continue to be able to adjust to these circumstances quickly."

 The 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system in fiscal year 2013 far outnumbered female patients, but the number of women receiving care at VA has more than doubled since 2000. The tens of thousands of predominantly young, female veterans returning home has dramatically changed the VA's patient load, and the system has yet to fully catch up. Also, as the total veteran population continues to decrease, the female veteran population has been increasing year after year, according to a 2013 VA report.

 All enrolled veterans can use what the VA describes as its "comprehensive medical benefits package," though certain benefits may vary by individual and ailment, just like for medical care outside the VA system. The VA typically covers all female-specific medical needs, aside from abortions and in-vitro fertilization.

 The strategic initiatives, which sprang from recommendations issued six years ago to enhance women's health system-wide, have kick started research about women veterans' experience of sexual harassment, assault or rape in a military setting; established working groups about how to build prosthetics for female soldiers; and even led to installation of women's restrooms at the more than 1,000 VA facilities.

 Yet enduring problems with the delivery of care for women veterans are surfacing now amid the growing criticism of the VA's handling of patient care nationwide and allegations of misconduct, lengthy wait times and potential unnecessary deaths.

 Used to treating the men who served in Vietnam, Korea or World War II, many of the VA's practitioners until a few years ago were unaccustomed to treating menopause or giving advice about birth control.

 The study on distribution of prescription medication that could cause birth defects is illustrative of the lagging awareness; one of every two women veterans has received medication from a VA pharmacy that could cause birth defects, compared to one in every six women who received drugs care through a private health care system, said the study's author, Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, a senior medical expert on reproductive health with VA.

 Schwarz, who also directs women's health research at the University of Pittsburgh, pointed out that while she does not believe any of the veterans surveyed were pregnant at the time, it is critical to keep in mind that many new female veterans are of child-bearing age, a higher percentage are on medication than in the general population and the majority of these women are not on contraception.

 Hayes said the VA seeks to place a trained, designated women's provider in every facility and expects to install a "one-stop" health care model that allows women to go to one provider for a range of services, including annual physicals, mental health services, gynecological care and mammograms. Until that happens, however, some VA clinics have limited gender-specific health treatments available for women.

 Army Sgt. Ashley Morris, who worked as an operating room technician for six months in 2008-2009 at a military hospital in Baghdad's Green Zone that treated soldiers hit by suicide bombs or wounded in firefights, said that promised transformation is badly needed. She returned having flashbacks and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and spent a month hospitalized in a psychiatric facility in Pueblo, Colorado.

 Now back home in Albertville, Alabama, she said she was ordered in March by a physician at the nearby community-based VA clinic to get a mammogram, given her mother's medical history. But Morris said she had to wait so long to get an outside appointment that she never made it to the doctor, in part, she said, because the VA would not reimburse her for the gas mileage to get to the private screening center 65 miles away in Birmingham.

 "As a young female coming home from Iraq, they don't have the care that we need at the local clinic," said Morris, 26. "If it's anything over psych medications, I have to go to Birmingham, and they've stopped compensating me for driving there." VA policy says any veteran who has been approved to get care at an outside facility will be reimbursed for gas mileage or get their transport paid for by the system, said VA spokeswoman Ndidi Mojay.

 Jeffrey Hester, spokesman for the VA in Birmingham, said he was not aware of Morris' circumstances.

 Female veterans are more likely than their male counterparts to be referred outside the VA system for specialty care, Hayes acknowledged. Nearly one-third of all female patients received at least one day of treatment at a non-VA facility in fiscal year 2012, as compared to 15 percent of their male counterparts, according to the most recent data Hayes supplied.

 Many female veterans report having to drive hours to get to a facility that offers specialized gender-specific care, while some of them tell of struggling to get the VA to pick up the tab for them to see a nearby private doctor.

 Army Sgt. LaQuisha Gallmon of Greenville, South Carolina, whose daughter was born two months ago, said she had been authorized to see a private physician of her choice for prenatal visits and delivery. But because the paperwork hadn't been fully processed when she went to an outside emergency room for complications in her sixth month of pregnancy, VA has refused to pay the $700 bill, she said.

 "I called the VA women's clinic and they told me everything was approved for me to get outside care and I should be getting the packet in the mail," said Gallmon, 32, who served six years in Iraq, Germany and Fort Gordon, Georgia. "Right after that, I wound up in the ER for complications, and a week later I received the letter saying they wouldn't pay for it."

 The VA typically covers prenatal and pregnancy-related care through arrangements with community health care providers, said Mojay.

 According to a recent opinion by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the VA has an urgent need to continue training providers in female reproductive health and contraception.

 Women appear to face particular difficulties getting gender-specific care in community-based clinics, 15 percent of which lacked a designated women's care provider at the end of fiscal year 2013, according to data supplied by VA. Separately, in a report published last year, the VA OIG found that 60 percent of the female patients at community clinics who were surveyed by government inspectors did not receive results of their normal breast cancer screenings within the required two weeks and results for 45 percent of them never made it into the VA's electronic health records.

 The agency said it has since changed the system so physicians can better track abnormal mammogram results through the VA's internal computerized health records, and says patients with abnormal results are "typically" informed within three days. Hayes said she did not yet have results showing how widely the improvements have been adopted, or what specific progress had been made on the concerns raised by government investigators, especially for women vets who were tested outside a VA hospital.

 Hayes said the VA plans to improve its software system so physicians get a more extensive, visible warning to ask patients about their possible pregnancy status and interest in conceiving when prescribing medication that could cause birth defects.

 "We want to make it right for our veterans to have the best kind of care, and women are included in that goal," she added.

Brattleboro Retreat can use building for vetsFebruary 19,2013Retreat can use building for vets
BRATTLEBORO The Vermont Environmental Court has sided with the Brattleboro Retreat on a proposal to house patients participating in the psychiatric hospitals Uniformed Service Program.
The program brings to Vermont firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians and service members suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The retreat wants to use the eight-room Meadowlark Inn on Gibson road to house the patients while they are in Brattleboro.
The town Development Review Board approved the plan last June, but two neighbors objected, saying the Retreats use of the building would transform the property into a therapeutic community residence. They asked the environmental court to overturn the boards decision.
The Brattleboro Reformer says a judge ruled the retreat could rent the rooms to patients, although it could not offer psychiatric services or therapy there.MORE IN This Just InThe Shumlin administration and legislative leaders are questioning aspects of a renewable energy...

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/008,243, filed Dec. 6, 1995.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to motion transfer and, more specifically, to a device for robotically moving parts of the body by the high speed transfer of torque through flexible screw-like cinctures.
2. Background information
U.S. Pat. No. 5,326,369, (369) issued to the instant inventor, teaches the use of a flexible lead screw device that provides motion transfer around corners without loss of propagated torque. The disclosure of 369, incorporated herein by reference, required hinged attachment of at least one articulating member to a support platform. A high torque motor, also mounted on the platform, was connected to the articulating member via a cable. The cable had at least one externally threaded cincture which engaged a threaded guide bushing attached to the articulating member. The articulating member thereby rotated about its hinged attachment in accordance with rotation, by the motor, of the cable and threaded cincture. By utilizing multiple members hingedly attached to the articulating member, and having a predetermined threaded engagement of the cable, cincture, and guide bushing connections, the device could move all the members according to the rotational output of the motor.
The disclosure of 369 used an artificial hand prosthesis as an example of the application of multiple articulating members. There exists a need for a device that performs analogously to the artificial hand prosthesis, but acts directly on the body.
While the connection of a guide bushing to each articulating member, and the use of multiple threaded cinctures, works well on an artificial prosthesis, the problems encountered in applying this device to a hand, or other body part, become apparent.
The present invention satisfies this need by providing a flexible lead screw device that attaches to the body and has the ability to move body parts. In general, the instant invention contains at least one motor actuated screw that transfers torque over an articulating joint of the body.
A high torque motor is mounted on a suitable location of the body, on one side of the articulating joint to be moved. The motor is attached, through a cable having an externally threaded cincture, to an internally threaded guide bushing mounted to a body location on the opposite side of the articulating joint. In certain mounting locations, the cable routing will be redirected by guide rings before entering the guide bushing.
Activation of the motor rotates the cable and, depending on the threads and the direction of rotation chosen, either pulls the threaded guide bushing toward, or away from the motor. Thus, the joint lying between the attached motor and attached guide bushing can be either closed or opened.
The actuation of a single joint can be accomplished using more than one motor-screw-bushing assembly to achieve complex and precise motion of the joint. Multiple joints can be similarly actuated providing complex and precise motion of a plurality of body parts.
The motor-screw-bushing assembly can be attached to the body using any type of suitable fasteners, such as hook and loop (VELCRO) fasteners. Alternatively, the assembly can be mounted on clothing-like devices that are worn around the desired areas of mobility. The clothing-like devices vary in complexity from a single glove to an entire body suit.
The motors can be controlled in various fashions depending on the needs of individual subjects. Control could be by voice activation, computer generation, programmable controller, or by other means not yet developed, such as nerve impulse.
Accordingly, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a means for artificial movement of weak or paralyzed body parts by the transmission of torque about articulating joints.
Another objective of the present invention is to permit precise and complex motion of joints by predetermined attachment of multiple torque transfer devices on the body.
Still another objective of the present invention is to provide clothing-like devices that can be worn to provide mobility of paralyzed, or weak, body parts.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a device that can be worn and used to exercise portions of the body that have recently undergone surgery. An example of which is a glove-like device worn by a patient that has undergone hand, or wrist, surgery and must exercise the hand to regain full motion.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the present invention in an embodiment for both elbow and shoulder motion.

Period of democratic transition: 1990–1991
Pro-democracy civic movement: present
Soviet troops occupied Estonia during World War II, following a secret protocol in the 1939 Hitler-Stalin pact that forcibly incorporated Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania into the USSR. Under Soviet rule, approximately one-tenth of Estonia's population was deported, executed, or forced to flee abroad. Subsequent Russian immigration substantially altered the country's ethnic composition, with ethnic Estonians constituting just over 61 percent of the population in 1989.
During the late 1980s, a relaxation of rules against free expression led to demands for Estonian self-determination. Mass protests began as early as 1987, including the 1988 "singing revolution," in which people gathered to sing banned national songs. At the same time, a nonviolent, pro-independence, pro-democracy movement – the Estonian Popular Front – emerged; mass demonstrations and protests routinely attracted hundreds of thousands of participants. Some protests were coordinated among the three Baltic states. Most notable among these was a human chain organized in 1989, consisting of more than two million people who spanned the territories of Latvia and Lithuania. The Congress of Estonia, a democratically elected (though informal) body formed in 1990, served as a parallel legislature to the official Communist-dominated counterpart. The Congress represented a broad array of political, student, civic, women's, and cultural groups. Estonia took advantage of weakening Soviet control in the wake of the failed Soviet coup attempt against USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev by asserting economic independence before quickly claiming full independence on August 20, 1991. A democratic constitution was adopted in the summer of 1992, and open, multiparty elections were held in September 1992, solidifying the democratic transition.
After the first popular vote in 1992, subsequent presidential elections reverted to parliamentary ballot. The prime minister was chosen by the president and confirmed by Parliament. Subsequent parliamentary elections were free and fair, although recently some political infighting has dominated coalition ruling parties.

Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate The Beach:
Saturday, July 10, 2010
Now before I start, I just want to reiterate that I don't TOTALLY hate the beach, just more like 95% hate it. The 5% that appeals to me are the sunrises/sunsets.
Number 10: The scenery never changes. Every morning you wake up, look out and it's the same scene. Flat ocean, a few waves, and a beach. It's boring to me! Where's the gorgeous mountains?? If someone plopped a snow-capped peak out about half a mile THEN I might be entertained by the beach.
Number 9: Seaweed. That nasty green stuff that gets washed up on the beach. Strands and strands of it, with weird shapes and slimy greeness. Who wants to step on THAT stuff barefoot?? It looks like something Chef Ramsey rejected in Hell's Kitchen the other night! GROSS!
Number 8: The smell. What IS that?? That is NOT fresh air!
Number 7: The crowds. People. Packed in small areas. Burnt an angry bright beet red yet still slathering oil over their well-done skin hoping for that bronze tan that in their minds will make them look like anything other than human beef jerky. Fighting over rentable umbrellas. Wearing things you really wish you didn't have to see people wearing.
(I'm sorry but... really...?)
Number 6: Dead sea life. How fun is THAT? Why would I want to casually stroll a beach and look down to see some dead crab or fish or jellyfish under my foot? And Heaven forbid it's the latter. I don't know if jellyfish can still sting while dead but the thought of some stranger peeing on my foot is mortifying. (I don't think I'll include a photo of THAT happening...)
Number 5: Did I mention the smell?
Number 4: Less graceful walking. Have you ever tried walking in loose sand? It's annoying, and I look drunk. I feel off-balance. I look ridiculous. I may even resemble someone trying to master an invisible hula-hoop. Only less cute than this:
Number 3: Dog poo. Now WHO walks their dog on the beach and doesn't pick up the poo??? That's just wrong. Who wants to stroll along and step on something you later wish HAD been a dead jellyfish? What parent wants to watch little Timmy or little Emma digging in the sand and hold up what looks like a breaded hushpuppie and put it on their plate next to their bologna sandwich? Come ON.
Number 2: I might've mentioned the smell...
And the NUMBER 1 reason why I hate the beach?
The sand. This stuff gets in places a person NEVER wants sand to find. No matter how hard you try to prevent this from happening, it does. It clings like those cheap plastic holiday window decorations. It clings worse than a spiderweb on your face. It's abrasive, it's grainy, it's everywhere. Who WANTS that? Who wants to stand in it in your shower stall? Who wants to go to the bathroom and see it fall out of your bathing suit bottom and sprinkle around your feet like fairy dust gone bad? And you can shower 10x but when you get in bed that night, you feel as if you've just slid in between two sheets of 2000 grit sandpaper.
Gives Egyptian sheets a whole new sandy meaning, huh??
So anyhow, I think I will stick with the mountains. Ever changing scenery, less sand, and beautiful fresh air!
No offense to you beach lovers, but I'll pass.

Ok, come on now..........95%? Wow. While I agree with everything here...........hey, wait, why do I like the beach again? Well, for me, it is the ocean. To me, the ocean always looks different. I love how it looks like it goes on into infinity. Like Space (which I am a big fan of, by the way!) Ok, so for me, that is the beauty of it. I burn like unreal (at least I did before I got all ridiculous about sunscreen, umbrellas, coverups etc) and can't swim much in the Atlantic (like it is freezing all summer, and warms up in Sept and Oct). So, there you have it. I like the Mountains, except I seem to find the lyme ticks in the woods like moths to flame. :)

Fun fact #1 - Jellyfish can sting you after they are dead. I had a professor/dig coordinator who was walking on the beach during a windy day and a tentacle, separate from any jellyfish body, blew up, wrapped around his leg, and stung the **** out of it. He had a red line where it hit.
Fun fact #2 - sand sticks to you better if you have been in the salt water. If you "rinse" off in the salt water, the sand will stick to you better as you walk back across the beach to your car. BUT if you rinse in fresh water/tap water the sand will stick less. Even better, a jug of water left in the car for that exact purpose will help keep it from getting into the car. Because we know that stuff never comes out.
I am a mountain person too. Thanks for the laugh!

Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has called for investment in her country's struggling economy but warned that it should not come at the expense of democratic reforms.
Suu Kyi's comments came in conjunction with a meeting on June 26 with French President Francois Hollande.
Suu Kyi also said "financial transparency in the extractive industries and, in fact, business in general" were essential to investment.
She said efforts still needed to be made to convince the Myanmar regime of the need for democratic reforms but stressed that President Thein Sein seemed genuine.

PRICE THREE CENTS NATION WATCHES ELECTION TODAY IN MANHTATES NEW YORKERS VOTE EARLY WITH 6AY- KOR STILL BETTIN6 FAVORITE Breathitt Co., Kentucky, May See Bloodshed Before Night- fall; Factions Armed. Prohibition, Negro Question and Alleged Graft Issues in Various Sections. By Associated Press. Chicago, Nov. 2 Election weather early today varied in different sections. In most east- ern points there was rain or threatening skies, while in the western section it was more fa- vorable. From the sensational point of view, Breathitt county, Kentucky, easily occupies the center of the stage. From vari- ous points of that county come reports of armed factions ready for serious trouble, stolen and burned ballots and state militia stationed at threatened points to see that a fair election is held. In Louisville, Ky., the negro question is the dominant issue. Tom Johnson Confident. Ohio's municipal elections are on purely local issues, with the liquor question standing out prominently here and there Tom Johnson is confident of re-election as mayor of Cleveland, while his opponents seem 'sure of his defeat. The liquor question, law en- forcement, control of party machinery and the political complexion of the noxt legislature are paramount issues in In- diana today. Frisco Has Graft Problem. San Krancisco's fight is on issues growing out of alleged graft among public officials which has been before the courts and attracted country-wide attention. The chief issue in Maryland is the proposed amendment to the state con- stitution designed to disfranchise the negro. Prohibition in Illinois. Elections in which the prohibition question is involved are being held in thirty-three Illinois cities and vollagej today. Of the sections affected nine are at present in the "wet" column, and twenty-tour are classed as "dry." ALL CONFIDENT IN NEW YORK. New York. X. Y., Nov. York- ers went to the polls ertrly today to cast their vote in the mayorality elec- tion. The polls opened at six o'clock and a large vote was cast early. Man- agers all confidently predicted a vic- tory for their candidates. Gaynor. dem- ocrat, was the favorite in early betting at 2 to 1. Robert Taft, son of President Taft, came down from Xew Haven last nisht with several classmates of Yale and did duty as a republican watcher at a voting place in a little store on Third avenue. LITTLE INTEREST IN ISLANDS. Manila, Xov. general election was held throughout the Philippines today for members of- the and provincial and municipal officials. Little interest Is shown and it is doubtful it the total vote will he found to have equalled that of two years ago, when only about one in thirty of the population registered. OTTUMWA 8UBRS Remarkable Case in Which There Were Many Escapes. Ottumwa, Iowa, Nov. explo- sion of gasoline used in removing tar from the creosote block floor of Bast Ottumwa fire station, caused the total wreckage of the building equipment yesterday afternoon. Two firemen, Henry Schmidt and Michael Boylan, barely escaped death in removing horses from the burning building, so quick did the flames fol- low the explosion. One horse and the entire building were destroyed, at a damage of The fluid was being used to remove the coating ot tar from the blocks which prevented the horses from getting sufficient hold of the floor to make a quick departure from the building. The fire station was just opened a week ago, and had not yet been paid for by the city. The cen- tral station wagons were called, but the flames were too great to subdue. OPERATES iH GARY Person Casting Aspersions at Another May be Arrested; But Little Disorder is Reported. By Associated Press. Gary, Ind., Nov. "provoca- tion" law, operative here, furnished the feature of the election today. Un- der this law a person casting asper- sions on another may be arrested. Four arrests were made on this charge after the polls were opened here. About half the total vote was cast before 9 o'clock. Only one minor disorder has been reported. SAFE DEPOSIT MOCKERY IN MINERALJW BANK Reports to Controller Show Envelopes Minus as to Immunity. Washington, D. C., Nov. 2 Safe keeping was but a mockery at the First National hank at Mineral Point, Wis., according to the controller of the cur- rency. A report just received says that a package of envelopes left with enclosures by about fifty persons for safe keeping at the bank had been found minus their contents. What was in the envelopes is unknown. A flat denial of any promise of im- munity is made by the treasury in re- ply to the claim that Barney Gross- man. whose transactions with the Far- mers and Drovers' National bank of Waynesburg-, Pa., got him into trouble, given such assurance. The depart- ment of justice asked the controller for information as to whether there v.-as any foundation in fact; for the charge that a promise of immunity from criminal prosecution, had been given Grossman. The request for in- formation was made because the United States attorney for the Waynesburg district requested Instruc- tions from the attorney general wheth- er. if the charge of immunity is true, courtesy required that he should re- spect that arrangement. MRS, AUGUSTA STETSON TO OBEYEDDY VERDICT Suspended Leader of New York Church Declares She Never Intended to Secede. New York, Xov. Augusta E. Stetson in a letter to the press yes- terday announced her complete sub- mission to the Boston officials of the Christian Science movement and de- nied she intended to from the Chirstian Science church. The text of the letter follows: "The reports that I am resisting the authority of the board of directors of the mother church and that I expect to secede from that church and form an independent church are false. I have not said to any one any of the things attributed to me in the napers. "On Oct. 16. 1909, I notified the di- rectors of the mother church that I would comply strictly with their orders and therefore would neither teach classes in Christian Science nor con- vene or attend .my students' associa- tion. I leave all judgment to God, tho righteous judire. "On the same day I notified the trus- tees of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, that I had so advised the authorities of the mother church. I also requested the secretary of my students' association to notify its members whom 1 taught in past years that there would be no meeting of my students this year. "I shall never secede from Christian Science and no student of mine with my approval vrill ever secede from Christian Science or disobey the con- stituted authorities of our denomina- tion. I was never more devoted to the cause of Christian Science, to which I have given my whole life for twenty- five years. "I was never more grateful, loving and obedient to my revered leader, Mary Baker Eddy, discoverer and founder of Christian Science and the leader forever of all true Christian Scientists. "I have labored for over twenty- three years to build and strengthen the. First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City. I have seen it spring from nothing to what it now is. It Is for others to say what part I had in its growth. From -what I have learned? of Its members by my labors in develop- ing this church, and in teaching Chris- tian Science to its members, I nm sure that this church and my -students everywhere v.-ill always br- found hold- ing the bnrner of Christian Science aloft most valiantly and fearlessly when the enemies of Christian Science are most aggressive. Sincerely "AUGUSTA E. STETSON." DEEP WATERWAYS CONVENTION CLOSES By Associated Press.

LABOR OFFICIALS FOUND COILTY BY U3STRIGT COURT 8F APPEALS AFFIRMS SENTENCE OF_FE8EMTION LEADERS Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison Hold in Contempt in Buck's Stove and Range Case, Decision Declares Failure to Obey Mandates of Law Would Pro- duce State of Anarchy. By Associated Press. Washington, D. C., district court of appeals today af- firmed the decree of the supreme court of the District of Columbia adjudging President Samuel Gom- pers, Secretary Frank Morrison and Vice President John Mitchell, of the American Federation of La- bor, guilty of contempt of court in the Bucks Stove and Range case. Chief Justice Sheppard dissented from tho opinion of the court on constitutional grounds. The court held the fundamental is- sue was whether the constitutional agencies of the government should be obeyed or defied. The mere fact that the defendants were officers of or- ganized labor in America, said the court, lent importance to the cause and added to the gravity of the situa- tion, but It should not be permitted to Influence he result. Ail Are Subject to Law. "If an organization of citizens, how- ever the court held, "may dis- obey the mandates of a court, the same reasoning would render them subject to individual defiance. Both are sub- ject to the law and neither is above it If a citizen, though he may honestly believe his rights have been invaded, may elect when and to what extent he will obey the mandates of the court and requirements of the law ns in- terpreted by the court, instead of pur- suing an orderly course of appeal, not only the courts but the government it- self would become powerless and so- ciety would be reduced to a state of anarchy." Given Jail Terms. The action of the supreme court of the District of Columbia sentencing Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison to twelve, nine and six months imprison- ment in jail was tho result of the fail- ure of these defendants to obey the order of the court directing them to desist from placing Bucks Stove and Range company of St. Louis on their "unfair list" In the prosecution of their boycott against the corporation. Out of Eight-Hour Fight. The boycott placed by the federation against Buck's Stove and Hange com- pany grew out of the fight made by tho metal polisher's union and supported by the federation for an eight instead of a nine-hour day. This was resisted by the' company and the Fcderatlonist published the name, of the company un- der the caption "We Don't Patronize." Proceedings against officers of the federation were begun August 19, 1907, by the company. An injunction against the boycott was issued by trie supreme court. of the District of Col- umbia. The case went to the court at appeals of the District of Colombia. References to the company continuing in the Fc-derationist and in the speech- es and writings of the defendants, they were cited for contempt, found, gxtilty and sentenced to imprisonment in 43te district ail, but released on ball.' Injunction Modi-Rod. j 3jast March the court cf appeals modified tho district supremo court's! injunction decree by adding to the In- junction the-words "in furtherance-of I the said toycott." This modincation WEATHER FORECAST FOR IOWA Chicago, Nov. Iowa: Fair tonight and warmer Wednesday, .v was looked upon by for the defendants as the proceedings-ftrr contempt.; They-clrdm- ed that had those appeared in the original injunction tlifc contempt proceedings never could have been de- cided against them. Labor leaders will probably attempt to appeal the case to the United States supreme court, but in some quarters there is doubt as to the right of ap- peal. Justice Shepard Dissents. Washington, D. C., Nov. Justice Sheppard 1h his dissenting opinion held the decree should be re- served because he was convinced the lower court was without authority to make the only order which the defend- ants could be said to have disobeyed. Tjhe chief justice says he is no clear- ly convinced "that this proceeding must be reg-arded as criminal solely, and in conseauence that the evidence on which the conviction rests can bo considered because not presented in the bill of exceptions, reserved on hearing." He also says he Is confirmed in his previous opinion "that much of the in- junction order Is null and void because opposed to the constitutional provision concerning freedom of speech and of tho press. Not Constitutional. "I says Sheppnrd, "that the court had jurisdiction of the sub- ject matter of the controversy, and of the parties but I cannot agree that the decree was rendered In accordance with the power of the power limited hy express provisions oC the constitution."

Special Correspondence, Des Moines, Iowa, JVov. Ware must remain in the penitentiary at Fort Madison till tho supreme court meets Nov. 16 when the writ of Habeas j corpus will be heard by the court. Nov. 16 will be the flrst day of the third period of the September term. The merits of the question of law raised by Judge Towner's decision will then be finally determined, viz: as to whether or not the board of parole has author- ity to issue paroles to persons convict- ed of crimes that were committed be- fore the state board of parole law took effect Vast Sum Embezzled. Ware was convicted of the embez- zlement of something like He was paroled within a year or so after his conviction on certain representa- tions, alleged to have indicated strong- ly that Ware was not the real culprit and that his conviction was for the purpose of shielding others. There was some opposition to the parole as soon as it was announced. It has been since variously rumored that the real culprits in the wrecking of the Cory- don bank were back of the scheme to keep Ware in the penitentiary on the theory that ns long as Ware is at lib- erty their own liberty is endangered. Various threats have been heard con- cerning this matter. It is claimed on the part of the Ware people that they propose to see to it that the other? are punished and the others are said to have threatened that If the supreme court decided that the board of parole has authority to parole Ware they will come before the next legislature and get the whole parole law repealed. Hard to Get Law Repealed. It la harder to get repealed a law that gives any Indication of being a good law than it is to get it passed in the first place and there is little grounds for believing that the board of parole law will be readily repealed.

Kavanaugh is quoted as say- ing: "To rrje Miss Duncan looked like an exquisite figure on an old vase that we are allowed to admire with perfect propriety." The resolution of the ministers fol- lows "Resolved, That it is a matter of exceeding regret that in the name of charity and before an audience of character and culture, and excused only by being, nigh art, a woman clad only in a kirtie, slitted to the belt, of a fabric so diaphanous that in certain changing phases she was virtually naked, rising to the horisontal in the whirl oJ the dancei has been permitted to appear.

OIL OCTOPUS TO KNOW ITS FATE MOSTJNY TIME COURT OF APPEALS TO DECIDE 6REAT CASE ATJARLY DATE Standard Will Quickly Hustle Trial for Life Along to Federal Su- preme Tribunal. By J, C. Welliver. Washington, Nov. greatest case ever brought under the anti-trusS law may be decided any day now, In the circuit court of appeals, and thenca it will be started instanter on its way to the federal supreme court. As tho supreme court has been dividing IB trust-law cases for some time past, it la very possible the man whom President Taft will place on su- supreme bench in succession to Justice Peckham, will cast the. vote which wlU decide this case. The case is that involving the life of the Standard Oil company. Started two or three years ago, it was finally sub- mitted during the past summer, on briefs and arguments of great volume. It Is now in the hands of the appellate judges of the sixth circuit. They have had it so long that a decision is ex- pected at any time. Volumes of Testimony. This Is the case in which the gov- ernment was represented by Frank B, Kellogg as chief counsel. The testi- mony taken makes a long shell! of printed volumes. The government, al- leging that the Standard Oil company is a conspiracy in restraint of com- merce among- the states, demands that it be dissolved, and that the seventy- odd corporations whose properties it took over be distributed back to the original stockholders. Mr. Kellogg was in Washington a few days ago on business with the de- partment of Justice officials. It Is known that he has great confidence ite winning this case in the circuit court of appeals, and that he has expected, further, to get the court of appeals Judgment affirmed in the supreme court of the United States. Test of Sherman Law. It Is not remarkable that, with a ease of such overweening significance as this one pending; a case on which there Is every reason to expect a pro- found opinion and a general restate- ment of the supreme court's views of the Sherman anti-trust is not strange that there should be prodigious interests, among people concerned In .this.particular litigation, in connection "with the change In the personnel of the supreme bench. There is no deny- ing that in quarters where close de- tailed consideration is given to' these subjects, the prospect for a victory- over the Standard Oil company has been marked down since Justice Peck- ham's death. Peckham Against Standard. Despite that Justice Peckham dis- sented in the Northern Securities case, It has been generally considered by the lawyers that he would follow his own decision in the traffic association cases, and hold that the Standard Oil com- pany should be dissolved. His removal from the bench opens the way for a. change that may be determinative; and since the impression has gone abroad that Circuit Judge Lurton is to go to the supreme court, confidence in a final victory for the government has decidedly waned. This change of sentiment is based on the impression that Judge Lurton-'s record of former opinions justifies the' belief that as a supreme judge ho would generally take the conservative side and end to construe ihe law' in the interest of the great business ag- gregations, it is especially pointed out that he had a chance to lead the way to the Northern Securities decision, but instead, in the Harriman-Kcene cases, decided the exact opposite, and clined to enforce the anti-trust -law' against railroads. The general tettor of his decisions for many years has been such as to justify the impression that he would follow the <3ecidedly conservative course in all such litiga- tion. Important Cases Pending. Various extremely important cases are pending, in which the new mem- ber of the court will have a hand. Tho- Union Pacific case itself is one ot these. He will be excluded from the tobacco trust case, In which the su- preme court arguments have already been made, and which, it is understood, is liable to be decided at almost any- time. The largest Interest in the new ap- pointment, however, pertains to its ef- fect on the Standard Oil case, which will not get to the supreme court until after the new justice shall have been named, and in which a five-to-four de- cision has been regarded as very prob- able. The government has devoted immense expense and effort to this case, believing that it was about the strongest that could be presented for, the maintenance of the Sherman act. President Roosevelt took the deep-; est interest in the proceedings, and- Frank B. Kellogg has at various expressed in private the most abso- lute confidence that he would win It, What Will Be Result? Should the government win, one of the most difficult financial problems ever undertaken would require atten-.- tlon, in the distribution of the immense assets of the Standard Oil back to the multiplied original cor- porations. This would be a impossible task, and it would accom- plish, in the end, very little good, lie- cause Standard Oil shares are now so closely held that the nominal re-dis- tribution would simply leave the con- trol of this vast series of small cor- porations in the hands of the small group of men now dominating Stand- ard Oil.___________' TOM JDHKSON BENTS SOTHAH SUITE Daughter Says it's the peso to Maintain Home There.
