ing the lungs, heart, stomach, kid
neys, liver, gall, bladder, spleen,
intestines and the air passages were
carefully examined. Several tea
spoonfulIs of thin watery substance
present in the stomach were reno we'd
and placed in vial for chemical
analysis.
The direct examination dealt gener-
ally upon all observations arising
from the post-mortem examination.
The direct question was not asked
DR.. Latta, whether or not he knew
what caused the death of McVlcar,
and it probably would not have been
consistent with the theory of the
prosecution to put such an interroga-
tory. The results of the tests made
by chemists will be relied upon to
establish the direct cause of death.
Several attempts we're made by as
sistant district attorney Men oble to
restrict the searching and technical
examination of DR.. Latta made by
attorney FairalI, but the court SEEM
ed to believe the attorney was within
his province and allowed him full
scope in covering the field of medical
research, FULLY covering not only
anatomy atmospheric and chemical
conditions but also toxicology.
Reference had been made in direct
examination to five contusions found
upon the scalp of McVicar during the
autopsy. Upon ross-examination he
was asked whether or not they we're
produced before or after death, and
the answer was 'before DEATH" The
question was then put. "Did the
blood flow from the nose before or
after death?" and the answer was
again, "before death''

and good natured neglect was more or

fact in natural history which may not

the remaining members will do the
best they can to come to an agree
ment. Some of the features still in
dispute and likely to cause a prolong-
ed wrangle are the provisions respect
ing express companies, bringing them
within the scope of the bill, the lodge
amendment declaring pipe lines
common carriers, and the provision
referring to sidings and switch con-
nections. The house has acceeded to
80 of the senate amendments while
the senate has receded from only
three. But there is enough material
in the remaining questions to keep
the conferees in session several days

Mileage of the Blood.

The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history. Thus it has been cal
culated that, assuming the heart to
beat SO times a minute at ordinary
heart pressure, the blood goes at the
rate of POI yards in the minute, or sew
en- miles per hour, 16S miles per day
and 6,S20 miles per year. If a man

men would not admit that this meant aben-
Comment by their leader OF the fusion move

ODELL LOSES AGAIN.
Has No Sag IN Naming NeSo 9th
District Justices.

Ex-Governor Odell got another Jolt yesterday at
the Republican convention. held at White Plains.
TO nominate candidates for Supreme Court justices
for the new 9Th Judicial District composed OF the
counties Of Westminster. Putnam, Rockland. Orange
and Duchess.
National Committeeman W. L. Ward, the Repub-
ncan leader Of Westchester. succeeded IN forming
a combination with Duchess and ROckland, which
left Ex-Governor Odel. who is the leader OF Orange
County completely out and the delegates from
that county did not present a candidate.
The result a great setback TO those who had
been saying that Odell would control the conven-
tion. and that Ward would be forced 10 surrender
the Westchester delegation 10 She state conven-
ton 20 him 20 obtain nomination for Westchester
County. Ex-Governor Odell did not attend the con-
vention, but james G. Graham was hand and
served chairman
The successful candidates were Judge Isaac n.
Mills OF Westehester: Judge Arthur TOmpkins. Of
Rockland, and Judge Joseph r. MorschauseT. Of
Duchess. Judge Mills and Judge TOmpkins re-
ceived the unanimous vote OF the delegates but
Duchess was split between Judge Morschauser and
Judge Samuel J. Phillips, also OF that county. Judge
MorschauseT received 81 votes 70 for Judge Phil
lips and was declared the nominee Of the conven-
tion.
A feature the cheering OF the name OF Judge
Martin J. Keogh who Will be the only Democratic
Judge holding in the district The district
Is Overwhelmingly Republican, and the nominations
equivalent 10 an election.

DENIES MAYORS CHARGE.
Philadelphia Nominee asks Weaver
to ProUe Accusations.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-In a letter addressed
10 Mayor Weaver to-day d. Clarence Gibboney'
the fusion nominee for District Attorney re-
quests the Mayor 10 prove his accusation that
Mr. Gibboney's City party nomination of Tues
day was obtained by bribery. Mr.. Gibboney as
serts that IL Mr.. Weaver can prove his charges
he will decline the City party nomination In
the interview Mayor Weaver said that Mr.. Glib
boney's nomination the result Of bribery or
delegates pledged 10 Frederick j. Shoyer. the
Mayors candidate for the nomination
Mr. GibbOney suggests that a body OF prom
inent citizens known as the Mayors advisory
board" act as a tribunal TO which Mr. Viewers
proof be submitted. IL the board finds that
bribery was practised Mr.. GibbOney says he will
abide by the result and refuse the nomination.
When Mayor Weaver was seen regarding Mr..
Gibboney's letter he said:
Bear in mind that the City party convention
has not yet adjourned and IL may be that the
convention is the proper body 10 take up the
subject"
Mr. Weaver was asked whether he had any
proof of bribery. and replied that that remained
10 be seen. Il am not in the habit Of making
sertiOns that cannot be substantiated" he said
The convention which nominated Mr.. GibbOney
on Tuesday did not complete it's work because OF
the lack OF quorum. but adjourned TO meet on
Friday night to select the remainder of the
county ticket 1t is probable that the Mayors
charges will come up at that session.

Both sides claimed victory in the Democratic

certain that the faction opposed to the candidacy
OF Hearst. headed by August Belmont. was suo-
eessful. and that the three delegates OF Nassau
County TO ths state convention will be opposed TO
the head Of the Independence League.
The Belmont faction says that It will have a ma
