PENIS GROVE, N. j.. FRIDAY. AUGUST 10. 1906.
WHAT WILL LABOR Do?
Politicians Anxious About Its In.
fluence in Presidential Race,
GomEers Plans to Put Mitchell or
Ticket For Vice-President-
Congressman Opposed.

Washington, D. C.-Whether or
ganized labor is to be a great and
perhaps controlling factor in the next
Presidential election is a question
that is being given serious attention
by far-sighted politicians.
Much will depend on the success
or failure of organized labor in its
campaign this fall to defeat certain
members of Congress who are
charged with being unfriendly to the
legislation organized labor is de-
handing. If the plans of President
Gompers are successful and a num-
Der of candidates for Congress are
defeated by the labor vote, then UNI
doubtedly plans will be laid by the
labor leaders for the largest possible
participation in the 1908 campaign.
Already preliminary plans have been
discussed.
An alliance with one or the other
party, whereby the labor people will
secure the nomination for Vice-Pres-
ident, will be attempted If the labor
leaders a see their way clear to Sc
cure it. John Mitchell, president Of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, is the man they have in mind for
the second place on the ticket. The
first announcement that he would be
brought out as a candidate for the
nomination for Vice-President came
from the anthracite coal country, but
it appears the subject was discussed
in Washington at the headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
before it was mentioned at Wilkes
barre.
The suggestion of Mr.. Mitchell's
name has been kindly received in la
Dor circles everywhere, and there are
many indications that if things go
we'll with this years program of the
A. F. of L., Mr.. Mitchell may find
himself in the midst of c full-fedged
boom next fall.
The large question in the way of
any successful participation of the
American Federation of Labor in pol
itics is, however, whether the mem
bers of that organization will stick
together when it comes to voting, or
whether each member will vote his
own individual preferences. Many
politicians see in the action of Presi-
dent GomperS and his associates in
deciding to enter the political field
the -~clkening of the A. F. of l..
They believe it will follow in the
path Of the Knights of Labor some
years ago, which was disrupted be-
cause it went into politics, and that
it will cut no large figure in the Cons
gressional elections.

NELSON'S TAXES ONLY 1000.
Revolver Manufacturer Left a Fore
tune Of 10000 900.

Springfield, Mass.-With all his
$30,000,000, Daniel B. Wesson, the
revolver manufacturer, who died here
paid in taxes only SIP, 900, a sum
less than the assessment on $1,000
900.
This revelation has caused great
interest here, and there already is
a public demand for an explanation
from the city officials. In the NUM-
cipal building it was said that most
of NELSON'S wealth was in first mort
cages, which could not be assessed.
Against this it is said the Wesson
mansion alone is valued at more than
$1,000,000. Wesson was the sole
owner of the revolver plant, in which
it is said there is machinery to the
amount of $1,000,000. The assessed
value of all property in Springfield Is
$86,000,000 and the amount raised
by taxation is $~1,200,000 a year. So
hat with a fortune more than one
third of the entire assessment, Wes-
son contributed only $4,000 to the
taxation total.
Nelson's last will was drawn a
year ago by William w. McClench,
vice president of the Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company. 1t
previously. 1t is understood that the
will leaves the bulk of the property
to NELSON'S Sons, Walter H. and Jo-
seph H, who are named as executors
of the will.

REFUSES TO GO TO ASYLUM
Miss Calhoun, of Augusta, Ca
Shoots Herself.
Bullet Pierces a Tin Picture of the
Man She Loved Placed Over Her
Breast--Declared Insane. A.

Augusta, Ga.-Rather than go to
an insane asylum, where her relatives
sought to send her, Miss Ida Calhoun,
eighteen years old, a niece of the
Rev. G. M. Wilkinson, a prominent
Baptist clergyman of this city, fired a
bullet into her breast. The mortal
shot was fired just as a lunacy COM
mission, which had been appointed to
decide the question Of the girls san
1ty, came to the conclusion that she
should be committed to DR.. Nc
Naughton's Sanatorium.
The girl killed herself under pc
culiar circumstances. She escaped
the vigilance of her nurse, who had
been engaged to watch her, and,
rushing to the West View Cemetery,
she stood on the grave of her mother.
Then she took the photograph of the
man with whom she was In love from
the folds of her skirt, and, placing
the picture against her breast, fired a
bullet through it and died instantly.
Miss Calhoun was a member of -one
of the most prominent families in
this part of the State. She inherited
more than 100000 from her mother,
and she lived most of the time with
her uncle. The death of the mother,
however, seemed to have affected the
girls mind. She became melancholy
and her relatives asserted also that
she was suffering from hallucina-
tons. They suggested to her that
she go to a quiet retreat where she
would receive medical attention, but
Miss Calhoun refused.
When it became apparent to the
relatives that the girls condition was
becoming worse, they applied for a
lunacy commission, which was ap-
pointed. The girl resented the ap-
pointment of the commission, and
refused to appear before the COM
missioners. The men who were ap-
pointed to determine Miss Calhoun's
mental condition resolved to have a
talk with her and they went to her
house. Miss Calhoun was compelled
to dress and appear before the COM
m~issioners, who questioned her about
an hour. She was told that she could
retire, but instead of going to bed,
the girl slipped out of the house and
went to the cemetery.
Not knowing that the girl had
died, the commissioners considered
the evidence they had taken and
finally concluded that Miss Calhoun
was insane and that she should be
sent to an asylum. One of the girls
relatives went up to Miss Calhoun's
room after the commissioners left the
house, but found that she had gone.
The house was searched in vain.
The police were informed of Miss CAL
houn's escape and q search was made.
No trace of her was obtained until
one of the caretakers in the cemetery
sent word to the police that a girl
had committed suicide on a grave.
1t was found that Miss Calhoun had
killed. herself on the grave of her
mother.

COSTS MORE THAN CHICAGO.
New York Twice as Big, But Expense
of Government is Quadrupled.

Washington, D. c. Starting out
with the f1~at-footed statement that
New York has twice the population
of Chicago, the Census Bureau in a
bulletin issued shows that the ex-
penses of New York are nearly four
times as great as those of Chicago.
After Chicago the next six largest
cities of the country together spend
less money for running expenses than
New York spends.
Though Chicago is one-third larger
than Philadelphia, the latter's run
ming expenses are greater. Though
about equal in size with Baltimore,
Boston's current expenses r nearly
three times as great.
Of all the cities mentioned New
York has the largest land area-
209,21S acres. New Orleans, with
125,600 acres, and Chicago, with
1892, rank next. Hoboken, with
S25 acres, had the smallest land
area.
Of the individual cities, the 1arg-
est per capita net debt was reported
by Newton, Mass.-$125.5S; the sec
ond largest by New York-$113.25;
the third by Boston-$10S.17, and
the fourth by Pawtucket-$104.19.
