PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 1.-THE
death of President Harper mas revived
speculation here as to the possibility
of President w. H. p. Faunce, of
Brown university, becoming the head

successor. The latter declines to make
any statement concerning the matter.

NEW HEAD OF THE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE TO BE CHOSEN
TOMORROW.
Excellent Prospects for Interesting
Fight When Precinct Men Meet
at the Court House.

An effort is being made by the two
factions in the republican county GEN.
trail committee to reach an agreement
on the selection of a successor to
Chairman Eugene Lorton. Whether or
not this scan be accomplished is a
question that cannot be foretold at this
however, that the matter can be ar
ranged and that quite an interesting
fight will result when the committee
meets tomorrow
1t is understood that Chairman Lor-
ton will tender his resignation and
then the fun will begin.
Among those whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
craftsmanship are Alexander Cameron,
Dorsey Hill and Sheriff Charles S.
Painter 1t is asserted that Hill has
stated that he is not after the job,
but some of his friends are endeavor-
ing to prevail upon him to make a try
for the place.
Cameron is said to be the choice of
the opposition to Lorton, and mis-
friends are putting forth the argument
that he is the only available man that
can cement the two factions in the
committee. On the other hand, Lor
tons friends do not look with favor
upon the selection of Cameron, and
will no doubt strenuously oppose him.
The politicians were quite busy today
laying plans for the contest that will

Mrs. Corey will live apart, but with
out a formal settlement. The hus-
band will make ample provision for

remain legally married, but that is all.
According to the friends who were
responsible for avoiding the scandal
of a divorce, Mabelle Gilman was not
the primary cause of the trouble be-
tween Corey and his wife.
For years friends of the two knew
that such incompatibility existed that
to all intents and purposes, they were
no longer man and wife. No blame is
placed on either of them. 1t was SIM

NE WYORK. Jan. 12-Rev Owen R.
Lovejoy, secretary of the National
Child Labor commission, declared yes
terday that except in special cases
President Roosevelt was mistaken in
his crusade for bigger families among
the American people. Many men, he
said, are working today at the bench
and in the factory for less wages than
their fathers received for a similar
amount of work, and it is costing
them more to live.
Such men, he said, if they were of
conscientious type, would hesitate
at the responsibility of bringing child
rem into the world, to struggle and to
toll for bare livelihood without any
prospects for advancement.

came upon a pack of large gray
wolves which were devouring the
carcass of a dog they had just killed.
When the animals saw him they went
for him at once. Krog was armed
only with a heavy club, and with this
weapon he fought desperately a run
ming fight toward the town. The
brutes would crowd upon him, max
ing vicious snaps at his throat when
ever they could pick a chance to get
in upon him.

FERED ASSISTANCE.
An Effort Made to Save Man From
Serving Prison Sentence Has
Failed.

Declaring violently that he did not
want to be freed from prison and
that he did not care for the aid or the
sympathy of the church, E. L. Kelso,
formerly Seattle attorney, now lying
in the Whatcom county Jail
on charge o. forgery with
a term of eight months await
ing him in the state penitentiary,
refused absolutely to talk with Rev
James Thompson, pastor of the South
Bellingnam Presbyterian church. when
he called on the prisoner in his cell.
DR.. Thompson, through Rev, A. M
Matthews and others Of Seattle, started
out with the intention Of having KEEL
SOS verdict set aside, if possible, on
the ground that the testimony that
convicted him was given by a bar
tender, but the action of the con-
demned man in refusing all aid from
the church has been a setback to the
plan.
Il do not want to be freed and
don't want any Of the church people
or anybody else to try to keep me
from going to prison. said Kelso,
wnen DR.. Thompson entered the cell
and made known the object of his
visit Il care for nobody at all in the
world but my poor old father and
don't want anybody to care for me-

actions were exceedingly strange and
that he was taken back by the re-
buff and he did not know what to do

krog was compelled to trust to his
legs alone for his life. The race lasted
until he was almost within the limit:
of the town. and the wolves became
frightened and gave up the chase.
The animals are extremely numer-
Gus in this section this year, but, al
though they wrought considerable de-
struction among stock. this is the
first time they have been known to at
tack a man. The heavy snow and the
scarcity of food has probably driven
them to desperation.
