SMALL HOPE
FOR RECOVERY
Postmaster General Payne
Has Sinking Spell and
Life Hangs in the Balance

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Postmaster
General Payne's life tonight hangs in
the balance. Late in the afternoon he
had sinking spell, and failed to rally
as quickly as heretofore from the slim
ulants administered. Although he was
reported as not so well, he began to re-
spond to treatment, and an hour later
was said to be resting quietly.
Small hope, however, is held out for
his recovery, and the members of the
family, who have been summoned to
the bedside, have been made to realize
his true condition. At one time to-day
his pulse was barely perceptible.
It developed tonight that several
times during the day Payne lost con-
sciousness. That his condition is grave
in the extreme was evidenced by the
fact that the members of the family
kept closely to their apartments
throughout the evening. Drs. Ma
gruder and Grayson were constantly in
attendance.

Executive OF MaSSa-
ChuSettS Is Not
in Favor.
State Department Says He
Erred in the Cur
ney Case.
Should Not Have Made Public His
Letter Concerning the Arrest Of
British Embassy Attaehe.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1-State De-
partment officials are much displeased
with the action of Governor Bates of
letter concerning Third Secretary of
the British Embassy Gurney, who was
arrested for speeding his automobile.
The British ambassador was mention
ed in the letter and the Governor inti-
mated what action he thought the de-
partment should take. Under no con-
ditions would the department have
thought of sending such letter to the
British Embassador. but its. publication
by Governor Bates amounts to practi-
cally the same thing.
Acting Secretary Adee received a re-
port to-day from the Department of
Justice on the Gurney case, but INSULT
cient information concerning the con-
duct Of the young secretary Of the
British Embassy and the Massachu-
setts officials was offered to make it
possible for the State Department to
take any action. Governor Bates has
been asked to make a complete report
on the incident
The State Department is especially
anxious to know whether Gurney was
a chronic violator Of the Massachusetts,
speed laws and whether there was any
thing in his conduct to show whether
he was unconsciously exceeding the
limit when the officers observed his
conduct Instead of supplying the de-
partment with facts, Governor Bates
and the other Massachusetts officials
have sent advice. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the case is practically closed
as far as the department is concerned.

Third Attempt Made

Large Opening Is Bored Below Water
Large Opening Is Bored Below Water
Line Just Prior to-the Launching
of the New Vessel.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Oct. IA third at
tempt within six months has been
made to iniure the Connecticut.
When the vessel plunged into the
waters of East River on Thurs
day there was in one of her
sides, below the water line, a hole
which had been bored with the inten-
ton of flooding her and with the pur-
pose of inflicting serious damage.
That the battleship was not seri-
ously damaged was due entirely to the
fact that the water-tight compart-
ments of the boat were so perfect in
their construction that no other part
of the boat was injured.
That this hole was inside of the
Connecticut was known to no person
when she left the ways except the
miscreant responsible for it.
That a third attempt had been made
to wreck the new battleship was
known to only few men until to-
day. The officers at the yard either
denied the story or else denied all
knowledge of it. But the particulars
of the latest attempt to injure the
great battleship were talked about by
the men and in that way they became
public.
That the hole was bored in the boat
by one of the workmen is certain. but
his motive in doing it is beyond the
comprehension of any one. 1t was on
the port side and must have been
done a very few days before the
launching. The hole was about one
inch in diameter and what is evidence
that it was done by a workman is the
fact that the person who did it knew
where the crib work was and bored
the hole at that place. The hole ex-
tended into the crib work. so there
was no evidence of it from the out
side.

Discusses Issues of Campaign as Seen
by the Democrats.
Senator Newlands Immediately
launched into his subject and held the
interest Of his audience throughout. In
part he said:
1.-The two great parties of the coun-
try are again face to face preparing for
the battle of the ballots in November
next which will determine supremacy
in the government for one or the other.
In the preliminary campaign, the his
tory, the achievements, the policies and
the promises Of both parties, as well as
the personalities of the candidates,
their records, their views on public
questions, their respective characters
and temperaments, are being elaborate
ly discussed and thoughtfully consid-
cred by the American people. The Re-
publican party, content with its
achievements, stands upon its record
and promises nothing save the continu-
alton of existing policy.
"The Democratic party, aggressive
and militant, promises to rewrite the
Declaration of Independence in the
policies and the administration of the
country, to abolish imperialism and
colonialism, to substitute domestic de-
velopment for foreign exploitation, to
reduce unnecessary armaments. to
abate the swagger and bluster of our
international relations; to substitute a
government of law, constitutional. stat
utory and international, for a govern
ment of force, of executive decree and
of usurpation of the powers of the peo-
pie as expressed in their organic law,
and to enter upon economic reforms in
tended to substitute for government
of preference, of special privileges and
of exemptions one involving equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.
"The country is fortunate in having
before it two candidates against whose
private character nothing can be said.

elevated character. confined to the dis
cussion of the policies which they rep
resent and to the personal character

grow more beautiful as she grows older.
She should be more beautiful at 40 than
at 10 if she is not victim to the ravages
of disease Most of the world-famous
beauties reached their zenith at 40. Helen
of Troy was first heard of at that age.
Cleopatra was considerably more than
80 when she first met Antony. Aspasia
