Him of Too Much Activity
In Politics

b. Associated Prsrr.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17,--seoretary Cor
teIyou, in a signed statement tonight, pro-
nounces unqilslihedly false the current
rumors of undue political activity of his
friends in forwarding a movement In his
interest.
The secretary declares that neither he
nor his friends have used their influence
in behalf of any candidate for the presi-
denoy and that he has not been candi-
date for anything but the confidence Of
the people, He adds that IL he should
hereafter decide to be a candidate for any
office he will say so frankly.
The statement follows:
December IT, 1907.--I do not know that
J am called upon to make statement at
this time, but in view of the various
rumors in circulation as to the alleged
political activity of friends Of mine, In
my interest. 1 will say that have not
been a candidate for anything but the con-
fidenoe of the people In the discharge OF
my duty as secretary OF the treasury.
'I have not in person sought. nor have
the friends whose names have been mem
toned in this connection. sought to In
fiuence political movements In my In
terests; 1 have not. nor have ,theys used
any influence, directly or Indirectly, TO
secure political support for or against my
candidacy for the presidency. and accusa-
tions that such has been done are un--
qualifedly false.
No Influence Used
I'm no office. in no one Of the three de-
partments with which / have been con-
nected, have I authorized or permitted
officials or employees to attempt to in
fiuence any such movements, nor shall
do so In common with many other ctti-
zens, have decided views as to policies
and as to candidates, but shall refrain
from expressing them until believe 1t is
proper for me to do so. Upon this state
ment I am entirely content to leave the
people to draw their own conclusions re-
garding such rumors as those to which
I have referred. IT, in the future, ! shall
decide to be a candidate for any office l
shall be prepared to say SO frankly and
state the grounds upon which l ask FOR
support In the meantime / shall try, as
| have in the past, to conduct the treasury
department for the benefit of the whole
people and without regard to whether any
action I may take in the line of my duty
may adversely affect my personal or
political welfare.

DRIFT FROM WIVES
THROUGH IDLENESS
Half of Divorce Cases Due
to Non-Support, Says
Judge.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. March 14-"Idle-
ness on the part of the men is the
cause OF so per cent Of the divorce cases
on the docket Of the court" said Judge
Charles J. Hunt, OF the divorce court.
The vast majority Of the petitioners" q"
he said. ARE women. and one of the
causes given in nearly all complaints Is
non-support This is especially true Of
the middle and poorer classes. II the
men would work as they should 50 per
cent Of the cases before the court would
never have been filed. The charges of
desertion and abandonment nearly all
are due TO tdleneSs. Men OF family not
employed congregate in saloons and
such places and drift away from their
wives, and hundreds leave them en-
tirely."

FLANAGAN'S LAST THROW.

Norfolk, Va., Sept. 9.-Charles J. Walsh, of New York, one of the judges of the amateur athletic union meet, Saturday at the Jamestown ex- position, and whose leg received a compound fracture as the result of the 16-pound hammer slipping from the hands of John J. Flanagan as he was making his final throw, left yesterday for his home after re- ceiving attention at the Pocahontas hospital, in the exposition grounds.
 The accident appeared to hurt Flanagan more than Walsh, as he walked off the field declaring that he had thrown his last hammer. Flana- gan holds the worlds record in throwing the 16-pound hammer, having made 172 feet and Il inches in 19U4.
