COY. ODELL WILL
 HOLD TO HIS JOB
WILL NEITHER RESIGN AS GOV. ERNOR NOR RETIRE FROM THE cHAIRMANsHIP OF REPUBLI- CAN STATE COMMITTEE.

New York. September 29.-An authori- tative statement was made today that Governor Odell would not resign as gov ernor, nor retire from the chairmanship of the republican state committee of New York.
 At the Saratoga republican convention Governor Odell suggested to some of the republican leaders that if he was unsatisfactory to the party he would re- tire. The suggestion, it is said. received no serious encouragement from the re- publican leaders
 After Lieutenant Governor Higgins was nominated for governor, the suggestion that Governor Odell should resign as governor was taken under consideration in view of the fact that 1t was anticipat- ed by republicans that the nominee would become governor. While the matter was being considered, attacks were made upon the governors s official acts, and his re- publican friends advised against his resg- nation under such conditions, and the determination has been reached that Gov ernor Odell will continue as governor and chairman of the committee through out the campaign.

| sessions of the senate he was obliged to take extreme care lest his exertions should overcome him. At that time he was troubled with lumbago and the death of his wife in Washington proved such a blow that he never recovered entirely from it's effects.
 Toward the close of the last session of congress he was frequently absent from the sessions, and remained at his hotel.
 He came to his home here soon after the adjournment apparently recovered from the attack of lumbago Late in May he attended the bi-centennial celebration in the town of Sutton, Worcester county, and made a speech of more than a half hours duration in the open air at the dedication of memorial tablet to Gen. Rufus Putnam, on the site of Putnam s birth place. MT Hoar mace an historical address. eulogizing General Putnam as one of the eountryis greatest men.
 A few weeks lateF Senator Hoar nlslde an informal address at the English high school. on the occasion of the presenta- ton to the city of some copies of Stuart's portrait of Washington by the Daughters of the Revolution.
 This was Senator HoaFs last appear ance in public life. During the latter part of July and up to August IT. he remained in his home and much of the time stayed in bed He received visitors daily and dictated many letters to his secretary
 Previous to August F. The reports of his illness were treated lightly by his family and immediate friends. On one occasion when a report was circulated that his condition was serious he dictated semi-humorous account of his illness, and requested that 1t be sent to the As soeiated Press. He attributed his illness to Washington malaria" and to the effects of the attack of lumbago. He grew weaker gradually, however and on the morning of August r had a sinking tutli, caused by the weak action of the heart. His condition seriously alarmed his ph. si- cial and family.
 On September 25 it was announced by his son that he was failing rapidly, and he lapsed at times into unconsciousness. From that time until his death he was unable to take nourishment, but his constitution enabled him to resist death for such a length of time that even his physician was surp. .sed.

SHAW SUSTA|NS THE STAMP RULING Size of Cigar Box Stamp is
 Reduced. IMPORTERS ARE KICKING They Claim That the Former Stamp Was as Good as a Trade-Mark
 and Gave Them Pro tection.
IMPORTERS ARE KICKING

Washington, September 29.-The secre- tary of the treasury has issued a state-
 nent in the imported cigar stamped mat ter in which he permits the order made by Assistant Secretary Armstrong to stand so far as 1t relates to reducing the size of the stamp and to attaching 1t in less conspicuous place on the box. He reverses the order wherein 1t required the stamp to be of the same color as the international revenue stamp, and it will be placed on the bottom of the box in- stead of the top, but at the end where If now appears opposite the internal revenue stamp.
 Secretary Shaw had been kept advised of the progress of the proceedings with reference to the customs stamp case, and copies of papers filed in the case had been , from time to time forwarded to him. After the hearing before the acting sec retary last Saturday MT. Taylor made a concise summary of the arguments pre- scented by each party to the controversy for the consideration of the secretary on his return together with recommenda- tions. As soon as the secretary returned today, he took up the matter with As- sistant Secretary Taylor and after an in- terview with the President decided the case. In his statement accompanying the decision, the secretary says
 Shaw Makes Statement.
 "rhe testimony established the fact | that the present stamp is used as a trade ! mark by the cigar importers; that this | trade mark Is valuable in the United | States. and that the cigars are, in effect the only commodity imported into the | United States that receives the benefit O such a trade mark. In view of the fac that this government stamp in It's pres ent form undoubtedly gives a pecunlar. advantage to those using 1t. 1t seems tha the order already issued by the depart ment is, in It. essence. proper. The gov ernments business is to collect the reve nue and to provide so far as possib against fraud, but 1t is no the govern ments business to furnish a guaranty il the form of a trademark for the beneh of the goods. This should be left in tn, tobacco business exactly as 1t is in al other business
 The result of the decision will pro tect the .obacco manufacturer from a custom stamp as advertisement, and it protects the importer also by giving | him a stamp of distinctive color, which | can be sean by the purchaser if he cares | to make an examination.
 The secretary has given orders that
 new plates be prepared for printing the
 stamps and for placing them upon the boxes of imported cigars in accordance with this decision.
