HILLS APPORTIoNMENT STANDS

Democratic Barbecue at Quincy, ILL.,,
Addressed by Stevenson.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. Oct. 1s.-Public
interest today centers at Ophir Farm, the
home of Whitelaw Reid. James G.. Blaine
is the guest of the vice presidential candi-
date. AT dinner this evening he met
Republican National Chairman Carter, ex-
Chairman Clarkson. National Committee
man Joe Man!ey and ex-senator Plat.
Blaine was interviewed during the after
noon and said: az have quite recovered
from the effect of the long trip. and as I
have been ill all summer l cannot but re-
gard with pleasure the ease with which
have travelled over 500 miles"
Turning to the subject of politics he
said: 'My friends know I am no longer a
public man in any sense of the word, and
utterances from me would seem uncalled
for. On political subjects have only to
say what have already said In a public
letter to Mr.. Marley. My health has pre-
vented me so far from active participation
in the campaign. and I have not consid-
cred the subject of entering the field as a
speaker
On Tuesday night the people OF White
Plains will hold mass meeting, to be adj
dressed by Whitelaw Reid, Warner Miller
and Gen. Horace Porter. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Blaine will be present, and he
will probably make short address.

penalty to be paid by Mrs. Deacon will be
imprisonment for period of between two
months and two years. If extenuaiing
circumstances be shown fine may be SUBJ
stituted for imprisonment. Mr.. Deacon is
confident, however, that the charge Will
be proved true in its full significance, as
he has new and abundant evidence against
his wife. Should Mrs. Deacon be con-
demned to Imprisonment Mr.. Deacon may
exercise his legal right under the French
law and suspend the execution of the
penalty. The case will be tried before
judges and no jury will be called. If Mrs.
Deacon is absent the court will have no
power to hear her defense. Owing to the
practice Of the French courts as regards
imposing obligations in the matters Of
residence and the ed ucation of the child
rem, Mr.. Deacon will not sue in France for
divorce. What proceedings he may take
upon his return to the United States has
not been positively determ ined, or. if de-
termined, has not been made known. His
intention now, however. is that should the
decision of the Grasse court establish be-
yond legal question the adultery of his wife
with NJ. Abeille, he will obtain divorce
and right to care for his children from
the American courts. This he expects he
Will be able to do without opposition.
Although she obtained the care of the
children during Mr.. Deacon's term of i'm
prisonment, he has. through an order Of
the Paris tribunal. obtained control of two
of the children. The baby, which Mr..
Deacon claims is the child of NJ. Abeille,
he has not asked fer. All the efforts Of
Mrs. Deacon to see her husband have thus
far proven fruitless.

Hard to Get Steel for w.r.b1,..

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct. 13.-The navy
department is very much displeased with
the inadequate deliveries of structural
armor and gun steel by the two corpora
tons holding the contracts to supply
metal for the construction of the new ves-
sells. 1t is felt that the department may
be embarrassed when it applies to congress
for money to continue the formation of
the American navy by the fact that sufi-
cient domestic steel cannot be procured to
prosecute the work in hand with due ce-
lerty. The deliveries are now, and have
been for some time, much below the con-
tract requirements. The department is
now determined to bring the contractors
to time, and notice has been sent in at least
one case that the promises made when the
contract was signed must be filled and the
deliveries of steel broughs up to the con-
tract requirements. The contractors will
be dealt with strictly according to the
terms of the documents.

Another Train Robbery Near COff

announcer ATain AsoDD0Ty NeAE COHeyVIl0
CoFFEYv1LLE, Kan, Oct. 13.-The east
bound Missouri Pacific train was held up
by two robbers at Caney Station last night.
The robbers boarded the engine. COM
PEELED the engineer to pull out two miles.
then uncoupled the express car from the
rest of the train and pulled half 4 mile
further. Express Messenger Maxwell had
blown out the lights, barred the door and
refused to open it. The robbers fired
through the door, wounding him in the
arm. He then surrendered, opened the
door and the robbers covered him with re-
volvers and competed him to give up the
express packages. All the express
money was transferred at Conway
Springs, so it is not thought that
highwayman got much. The identity of
the robbers is unknown. but they are be-
lieved to be the same men who LAST week
held up the station agent at Sedan, Kan.
1t is certain that the robbers secured sew
eral thousand dollars, as the train connects
with the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Southern lines.
