BOYS (OIIFESS TO ROBBlfIG MAIL VAdOIl THEFT OF AUTO LAMP LEADS TO CONFESSION BY ALBERT AND WALTER HENNING The theft of an automobile lamp un earthed the robbery of i' John Ieudes rural mail wttgiinVAlbeii- and Walter Henning, living -at the1: corner of Atlantic and North streets, confessed to the' theft after having been taken to the station.

While in conversation with one of the proprietors of Bosser hand store yesterday, Policeman Scherck was informed, that; two, boys had come, there to sell an auto lamp, but that purchase was refused, there being a suspicion that it was stolent property i and when the lads were questioned they off leaving the' lamp behind. It is now 5 at the police awaiting the owner. Scherck learned the names of the boys and rounded them up. At the station they confessed to going through Frende's mail wanton and taking the scales and $250 worth of postal cards and stanfp ed envelopes. One of the boys said he had given the cards to his mother, who later denied that-part A search revealed about half a'dozen cards about the house but tfiere was nothing to identify; them as the' stolen property.

The scales were found at the Syrian's fruit store on College avenue. Notwithstanding that they were marked "PrOp- ertv'of P. O'. Dept." he purchased the scales for ten -cents. As' they are scales with a hook; it is difficult to see what use he could make of them in weighing either candy or fruit.

They were identified by Freude this morning as th scales taken from his wagon. Government ac--J tion will probably be taken against the boys. The father of the two boys recently finished a sentence after having found guilty of non-support. SAYS FARMER FAILED TO DELIVER CABBAGE D. W.

XMAS TREES TO BE HIGH THIS YEAR GROCERS LOOKING TO NORTHERN WOODS FOR EVERGREEN. Despite the fact that the ever popular Christmas trees are plentiful in this vicinity, they will be much higher this year than any other year because, of the fact that the local swamps will not al low admittance, the warm, weather this fall keeping the swamp from freezing Appleton grocers have resorted to the northern woods for the trees, but at a much higher figure than they might have secured them from farmers in this vicinity The grocers must pay $30 per 100 for the northern stock, but are 'glad to do if. Two young men from near the city have made the rounds of grocery stores recently and took orders for ever green trees, which they will cut. in the northern part of the state. They were up there on a deer hunting trip recently and contracted for several carloads.

The grocers could not depend on the local stock at all. since the weather has been holding out so warm this Tall and they must have the trees here by the end of next week. It is figured that a week of weather would not put the swamps in condition to admit a team of horses. A farmer at Binghamton closed a eon tract with a local dealer last for 106 which he ventured into' the wet swamp for but he is at a loss to see how they will be taken' from the swamp if it does not freeze.

V. Canavan. A primary will probably fyave to be although no-definite ruling would be given on that this morning pending a further-search of the statutes. The law governing the filling of the vacancy reads, "If any vacancy occurs in the office of mavor or member of the council, and the term shall exceed si-f months, a special election to fill such vacancy shall be held.i If the unexpired terra be less than six months the other members of the council shall at their next meeting appoint some 'one to fill the vacancy." As the unexpired term of Mayor Can avan is over six months an election will be rfecessary.

No action will, of coufse be taken in that direction by the coun cil 'until after the funeral, and while the law does not specify how soon the election must be held after the vacancy is created, it 'is the opinion of City Attor ney H. D.v Ryan that a' vacancy of this nature must be filled at an early, date. 1 In, case the primary is held then the two receiving the greatest number of votes'at it will be the candidates at elec tion, the same as at a regular election.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS INSIST UPON DEVOTING '12 HOURS DAILY TO BILL TRUSTS COME NEXT Congress Which Convened 1 is Expected to Make Radical, Changes in Manner of Handling the Bis Commercial Combinations (By Congressman C. II.

Tavenner) Washington, Dec. 4 The currency 'sit- nation is as good as settled by the courageous action of the Democratic members in insisting that the Senate shall devote 12 hours a day to discussion un-til the bill is passed. Until this action was taken seemed to be the pos-L sibility that the debate might drag on until spring, delaying the trust legislation and other important measures which the. President 'and the Democratic party wants passed before going before the people in the congressional elections next fall. There was even a possibility that long continued debate might defeat the currency bill Altogether.

The thing 13 settled now, and we can turn our attention things. Republican reactionaries are. threatening to filibuster against the bill and delay the passage indefinitely. -My prediction that when -these Senators begin to hear from the country they. will hastily drop their attitude-of obstruction.

A Sign of the Future 1U VUU-1 Two very significant things have oc- curred within the. past week. They hap- ened atopposite ends of the earth, but they bore a relation to. each other.

After launching the greatest dreadnaught ever built, the British government let it be known that it is to be the last of the dreadnaughts. And at San Francisco an aviator dropped a sand bag on an Amer ican battleship. The British attitude- is that the devel opment of the submarine boat is ren dering the deadnaught useless. The re cent British naval maneuvers showed 1 it Jl tuat tne suDmanne couia easuy uesiirv all the battleships and come away un-L scathed, llence the plan lor me luture is to Duua tne smaller vi craft the torpedo boat destroyers and the.

A small bag of sand dropped from the air machine, fell in the waist of the ship squarely amidships. Almost be fore the startled crew could, look up to see whence the missile had come tne aeroplane was far in the distance be yond range of the sky guns Of course, it was a friendly act, mere ly to demonstrate the ability of the aeroplane.

Conscious of the fact that he was' gradually wearing awajr, he was cheerful to' the last and gamely stuck to his post until the end. 1 Last Duty on Monday The last time he visited8 the city hall 'r was -Monday morning. The newspapermen covering the city hall waited for his -appearance talking to- the councilmen who were waiting for the morning ses-sion. The mayor was seen to leave hist house and his feebleness was commented on. Four times within twenty feet of his door he halted to rest it took him ft4 half an hour to reach', his office, half a block from his home.

His last visit to attend -to the'affairs of the city. was as heroic, although pitiful to 'those who 'watched' it; as a soldier, leading a forlorn hope.
