The general gossip among repuD-
lican politicians indicates that odell
will probably not resign, because that
would leave Willie Barnes, Jr, in
charge of the committee until the next
state convention, and odell hates
Barnes. 1t Is expected, rather, that
he will leave his confidential secre-
tary. Calvin Mcknight, in charge at
headquarters and take long trip TO
Europe
Odell came out of the obscurity of
the ice and grocery business in New
burg some fourteen years ago, as
member of the republican state COM
mittee. His father had served several
terms as mayor of Newburg and the
family was in charge of the local re-
publican machine.
Young Ben was then vigorous, ag-
gressive, and a good handshaker He
was always cordial and good natured
in manner He soon won the entire
confidence Of Senator Platt, the state
leader He presented new ideas and
plans of campaigns, and, most of them
proving good, he was made chairman
OF the executive committee at the re-
quest of Senator Platt In that Of
ftee he was on the job every minute
and constantly extending his acquaint.
ance throughout the state. He was
then sent 50 congress, where he
served two terms without distinction
good or bad. except that he was
known as a good fellow"
When the late Charles w, Hack
EFT, who had been chairman OF the
state committee for number of years
died, Odell succeeded to the office
without opposition. He was the per
sonal choice OF Senator Platt. Az
state chairman he relieved Senator
Platt, as far as possible, Of all routine
work and continued to grow In th'
good graces Of the senator.

At the republican stote conven-
ton in 1896 there were number or
candidates for the nomination for
governor. Odell was the personal
choice OF Senator Plat. but at a
conference the night before the nomi-
nation was made the senator said 10
let all the candidates go into the con-
vention and receive a complimentary
vote. With the backing OF Platt,
Odell would have won under that
plan. But at O'Clock the following
morning, Lou Payn, Jacob Worth. Ed
ward Lauterbach and other leaders
held secret meeting and arranged q
combination In favor of Frank s.
Black. When the facts were made
known to Senator Platt. he advised
Odell to step aside in the interest OF
harmony. and Black was nominated.
In 1898 Roosevelt was the logical
candidate and Plat and odell support
ed his nomination. In 1900 they sue
ceeded in sidetracking Roosevelt to the
candidacy for vice president and
odell was nominated for governor
without opposition. When elected he

Head was Ii feat that was accomplish
ed several times during the race. The
most daring example Of this was when
Felice Nazzaro and Elliott F. Shepard
reached the turn within a few yards
OF each other. Shepard in his Hotch-
kiss was leading when the Italian put
on every ounce of his power. and rs
the two racers approached the corner
he was trailing the French machine
with only a yard between them.
AS Shepard threw over his steering
wheel Nazzaro gave his still greater
twist and, shooting to the left of the
Hotchkiss. passed him before both cars
had left the turn. This exhibition was
cheered by the spectators.
Albert Clement had a close shave
during the eighth round just as he
made the Bulls Head turn. A half
intoxicated driver of market wagon
decided that he had been kept Off the
road long enough and, whipping up his
team Of mules, drove on to the track
Just at the turn Before he had gone
fifty feet Constable Fin Seaman caught
the mules and. climbing up on the
seat, tried to take the lines from the
driver. The man resisted, and while
the struggle for possession was going
on the cry "Car comingv' warned the
crowd that an accident was imminent.
Clement swept into the approach to
the turn, and the signaiman, becom-
Ing confused, failed to wave his yellow
flag, which would have apprised Glenn
ent Of his danger The spectators
shouted. yellow. yellow!" and at last
the frightened signalman showed his
flag. There was no time, however. for
Clement to slow up, and he swung
around the corner to see the mule
team taking up half the road. With a
lightninglike motion the Frenchman
twisted his steering wheel to the right
and, swerving toward the bank at the
side OF the course, shot by the tail of
the heavy market wagon, barely miss
ing It,
The man, who said he was Patrick

RADlUM CLiNICA POSSIBILITY
Austrian Authorities Collect the Min

Austrian Authorities Collect the MIN
eral For Use In Hospitals.
There seems to be a chance of a
radium clinic or special hospital for the
use Of radium being opened before long
In Austria, according to special cable
dispatch from Vienna to the Chicago
News. For months the Joachimsthal
mines have been sending uranium ore
to firm Of light works at Vienna
amounting to 10000 pounds. which has
been treated by chemical experts In
charge of DR.. Hletsinger. The result
has been the acquisition Of some $780,
coo worth Of pure radium. which will
be given to various hospitals and scien-
tific laboratories.
The Physical institute of Vienna, In
view Of this experiment. proposes to
set up laboratory at the Joachimsthat
mines for the manufacture OF radium
salts. From this has sprung the idea
that the radio active springs, which
abound in the mines, might be used for
drinking purposes. Samples Of the wa
ter are undergoing analysis In Vienna
and II the results come up to expecta-
tions a bath establishment probably
will be Immediately called into exist
ence. The question Is exciting wide
spread interest In medical circles and
among people generally.
