corteIyou Handicapped.

CoTIelyou handicapped,
The talk of Cortelyou has gone
through the State only to show that
should he receive the nomination his
management of the campaign Of 1904,
in which large contributions were
made TO the campaign fund by the
magnates of insurance now dead or
discredlted, would be brought out as
material for Democratic attacks upon
the candidate. The fact that these
contributions were accepted by the
committee of which Mr.. Cortelyou was
chairman would be harped upon by
Democrats in the campaign, to the
possible injury Of the ticket, unmind,
full Of the fact that the Democrats in
the same campaign were accepting
money from any source that could be
tapped, including the street railway
magnates Of this city, headed by Mr..
eBlmont and Mr.. Ryan. They, there
is the talk of Governor Hughes, which,
faint at first, has become audible in
many States. He would have as q
candidate for the presidency the sup
port of practically all of the independ-
ent and Republican newspapers Of
this State. For example, in this city
every newspaper, with the exception
Of those controlled by William r.
Hearst, is favorable TO the nomination
Of Governor Hughes, and would give
their support to the national ticket
headed by the governor. The New
York World, however, maintains that
the State cannot afford at this time
to lose the services of Governor
Hughes, which is In itself high trib-
ute to the man. The Hughes talk has
not drawn from the Governor any ex-
preston of his own views in the mat
ter, and If he should be the candidate
of the Republicans the nomination
would probably have to come to him
unsought-just as the nomination for
governor of New York sought him out
when a man was needed to check the
onward rush Of semisocialism.

efnor Hughes FRIENDS THINK His
Presidential Boom Is Aided BY the
Tatt-Foraker Fight In ohio.
NEW YORK, Aug. G.-New York
city Is just now passing through an ex'
perIence in the history Of its many
criminal outbreaks which is likely to
result in a two.fold benefit in tie end.
The wave of crime in the form of out
RACES upon children will make New
Workers. less intolerant Of other com,
munlties which deal most summariIy
with The perpetrators of such crimes,
But more significant possibility is
that this State may be the pioneer in
the enactment of legislation to punish
criminals of the type referred to in
a manner which may be an effectual
deterrent.
Since the present astounding out.
break attracted the attention Of pencil
ogists, various methods Of dealing with
fends who attempt outrages upon
girls Of immature years have been
brought forward. The method sug.
gested by a widely-known poetess of
this city SENS to have the widest in
dorsement of students of the problem.
This suggestion is that the perpetra-
tors Of such crimes shall be neither
executed or imprisoned, but by pro.
posed special status shall be furnish
ed lawfully in such a manner that no
repetition of their crime shall be pos
sible 1t is recalled that nation
which once found the suicide of young
women increasing at an appalling pace
soon checked the evil by a statute
compelling the body Of the suicides to
be publicly exhibited in their nudity.
The fear of this treatment of the
body after death is said to have been
effective. The fear of the punishment
proposed to be administered in the
case Of crimes against children would,
It is believed, make unnecessary any
agitation for vigilance committees
such as is now going on here. Such
statute would not only rid the com
munlty of those who had committed
outrages by branding the perpetrators
for life, but would also be warning
that would probably be needed more
than lynching, burning at the stake
or legal executions in the death cham.
Der in Sing Sing. Governor Hughes
is. said to be deeply concerned over
the necessity for legislation which
would provide "a special kind of pun
ishment for those who commit out.
RACES upon children, something DIFF
ferent in character from the punish.
ment Of murderers, which in this
State Is not check upon murderers.

New York May 13.-The statement

Yesterday would naturally have been a

Ihere could be no doubt in the minds OF
any one that many OF the men were
back working on Sunday. TO make up for
Iost time. No trouble OF any kind oc-

that many OF those at work were union
