Governor Does Not Seek the
Presidency, but Will Let
Supporters Work
STAND OF CORTELYOU
Believes That He Has No
Chance, Except as a
Dark Horse
BY Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s-The in
teresting developments in the republi-
can presidential contest within the
last "a hours will keep the politicians
talking for several days.
The first and most important of
these developments is the indirect an
nouncement of Governor Hughes of
New York that he will not check the
movement now under way to secure
the New York delegation for him.
The governors attitude is that he will
not seek the nomination, and neither
will he discourage any friend from
working to secure it for him. His
words are encouragement enough for
his supporters. who now propose to
go out to secure united New York
state delegation for him. A little later,
IT IS announced, a movement in his
interest will be started in various sec
tons of the country.
The statement given out by secre-
tary cortelyou last night seems to bear
cut the assertions made to the effect
that me secretars OF the treasury has
not been doing any political work un-
der cover The close friends of Cor
telyou know that he is deeply grieved
over the attitude certain persons con-
nected with the administration have
placed him in.
No attempt is. made to conceal the
fact that he blames the men who are
managing the Taft boom for a good
deal Of the unfriendly criticism direct
ed at him. The comment on his state
ment is that 1t does not change his at
titude toward the presidency He has
been regarded as receptive candidate
all along aud his statement is inter
preted to mean that he is still in that
attitude HIS closest friends have
known for months that he believed that
If he had any chance for the nomiua-
tion it was as a dark horse or COM
promise candidate
Whether or not cortelyou's letter
viii tend to help smooth down the cab
met quarrel over politics remains to
be seen. It is settled that cortelyou
does not intend to leave the cabinet un-
less he is forced to do So Possibly the
understanding will be Strengthened
out when Secretary Taft arrives here

Estate Basis of
Charges
Former Associates of
Financiers Examined

Since the investigation Of
the banking scandal began 1
have had no doubt that Walter
]. Bartnett and ]. Dalzell
Brown were guilty of the en-
bezzlement of the securities OF
the Cotton estate. Every bit Of
evidence has pointed that way,
and the testimony taken today
before the grand jury only
serves to strengthen my belief
While I am not at liberty to di-
vulge the nature of this testi-
mony, I can say that It points
positively to the guilt of these
two men and that the evidence
against them is overwhelming.

LIES DYING WHILE
POLICE WRANGLE'
Woman Appeals to the Mob to Help
Man Crushed by a New York
Trolley.


New York, July 3o.-Chafles Cabocci,
run down by car early yesterday died
in Bellevue hospital at 10 o'clock, after
having lain bleeding on the pavement
for IS minutes, neglected alike by the
police and by mob Of witnesses u
the accident, who tried to storm the
motormans platform and dag him
from il.
The police, apparently forgetting all
about the victim, let him lay unattend
ed, while they wrangled and fought
with the crowd refused to take the
motIman from the car, ana finally let
him drive straight through the mob and
out to safety.
The mob was not composed Of
toughs. but OF welldressed men and
women, whose Indignation at police I'M
activity led them to overlook the vic
Tins Of the accident.
A single woman, appealing vainly to
others for help in the meantime, held
her handkerchief 10 the wound Of the
victim to keep him from bleeding to
death. When an ambulance finally was
brought it was too late to save his
life, already almost gone.
1t is not understood how the police
failed either to summon the necessary
ambulance or to hold the motorman to
whom the accident is laid.

Wedding al Leeds. ?. Q.

A very pretty wedding took place on
Wednesday, July 10th, at I p. m. at
the Methodist parsonage, Leeds, r. O.,

daughter of Jas. Harron, was united in
the holy bonds Of matrimony to Robert

mony was performed BY the Rev. Mr.,
Watts There were number of young
people gathered at the parsonage and
when the ceremony was performed they
showered the happy couple with rice.
The bride, who looked charming, was
gOwned in white tafTeta silk, trimmed
with German lace and Insertion She
carried shower bouquet of lilies Of
the valley and maiden hair ferns and
wore lilies OF the valley in her hair
The bride wore picture hat Of white
chiffon with ostrich plume and veil The
bridesmaid was Miss Aggie McVetty Of
Learned Plain, aunt of the bride, who
locked very pretty in a gown Of cream
crepe de chine and wor picture hat
Of cream straw trimmed with chiffon
and carried a shower bouquet Of lilies
OF the valley and maiden hair ferns
The groom was supported bY his broth.

At the conclusion Of the ceremony
the party drove to the house Of the
brides parents, where the reception was
held and the guests. upwards Of seventy
five, sat down to a bountful repast

rated for the occasion with rel, white
and blue, and large bell which hung
over the table. The parlor was draped
with lace and ferns, where the bride
and groom received the guests The

No NEED FoR ExcITEMENT.

The authorities of Plainield are going
about this task of stopping the spread
OF small pox in business-like manner.
The time to begin is at once, and that
course seems to have been followed in
the neighboring town. There need be
no panic over the situation. The sue
cess which the authorities Of the town
Of Berlin had in dealing with the dis
ease ought to furnish inspiration, as
well as example, to Plainfeld. It is
hardly probable that the epidemic in
this latter place win reach anywhere
near the proportions it assumed in the
town on the other side Of the county,
If. indeed, it gets beyond the bounds Of
the immediate neighborhood where the
afflicted person resides. But let there
be strict care exercised.

The Story of Graham Flour.

Graham -four is so named from DR..
Sylvester Graham, who in 1929 first
used and strongly recommended foods
made from unboltea -four. The Graham
bread and crackers made in those days
were coarse and unpalatable and were
eaten more as dietary obligation than
as an enjoyable food.
But, in accordance with the theory
of DIR. Graham, foods made from this
-four proved to be very beneficial. The
digestion was straightforward appe.
tite improved the coarscness Of the
-four had stimulating effect upon the
digestive organs
The Graham foods, through expert
ment and skin, became more and more
palatable until finally the real Graham
cracker--the tempting food-was pro.
duced by the National Biscuit company.
Its flavor Is that Of the sweet, nutty
kernel Of wheat, almost dessert--it
Is so rich and delicious. Used instead
OF bread at any meal, it furnishes an
agreeable change. For lunch or late
supper II satisfactorily takes the place
oil meats and heavy food and leaves none
Of their illeffects. As a cereal at break.

that the people Of Barre have had u
chance to hear, was given BY Mr.. Albra
Fogg at the Methodist church last eve

Far West, including California the Vel
lowstone National Park, the Rocky
mountains and many others. His talk
and stereuptiean views more than pleas
cd the audience which came to hear this
great lecturer. His lecture this evening
ought TO test the seating capacity of the
