of all the executive departments have
officially promulgated circular issued by

STRUGGLING IN vain
CONTINUED From First Page)

not find a victim Finally the name OF
DR.. Hill was mentioned. Thereupon Sec
rotary Root, who was present. arose and
stated that he was positive DR.. Hill would
not consent to run. Some of the lnSur-
gents got angry and began to use cuss
words. whereupon Secretary Root allowed
il was about time for him to go, and he
got out
The plan of the conspiratorS was to
name DR.. Hill with whoop. if they could
get the votes, and adjourn the convention.
Then, according to their line of reasoning.
it would be up TO President Roosevelt to
force DR.. Hill to rum the alternative be-
ing that if he did not the state committee
would be empowered to name the candi-
date.
BY noon today the conspiracy had fallen
fiat. The ants realized that they were
beaten at every turn. The New York
delegation met this morning and by a
vote of 154 to 6 Endorsed Hughes, with So
absentees.
The Hughes men today are confident as
ever and refrain from gloating over the
plight of their adversaries Indeed, they
have other things to think of, chief
among them being the proposition of
smoothing down the subsequent proceed
ings in the interest of harmony and the
election of the candidate in November.
1t is claimed that the prolonged opposi-
ton of the bosses to Hughes has ac-
centuated the fact that he is being OPP
posed by the machine against the wish of
the people. and 1t is argued that this will
serve to arouse sentiment in favor of
Hughes with the voters.
For three days now the newspapers
have been full of the attacks of the ma
chine on Hughes. and every voter in the
state is thoroughly apprised of the nature
and source of the opposition. The men
who are advocating Hughes nomination
claim that this is bound to have a good
effect in the campaign and arouse the
voters, rallying them to his support.

NO GRATUITIEs FOR EXECUTOR,
Judge Gould Declines to Approve
Charge Against Dickson Estate.

IAN executors commission is a COM
pensation for services performed in the
settlement of an estate and is not a gra-
tuity," declared Justice Gould today In
declining to authorize the payment OF
nearly $4,000 claimed as commission by
the executors of the estate of the late
Henry Dickson.
The estate is valued at nearly s6OO.oO0.
The Washington Loan and Trust Com.
pany and William King, jr., the executors.
asked for a 5 per cent commission.
Justice Gould directed counsel to set
forth in a petition the amount OF services
rendered by the executors for which such
a commission could be justified as COM
pensation.
The executors claimed that by holding
on to the securities of the estate during
the late panic, although they had an order
of court permitting them to sell, they
have increased the estate more than the
commissions claimed. They also saved
the estate. they declare, a considerable
sum in the disposition Of certain securi.
ties.

French court. Following this action the
prince remarked Miss Alexander under
the French law
hen the princess was seen at her home

what she characterized as the cruel and
cowardly act of her husband.
Says Charge Is Baseless.
She said that the charge of adultry
was baseless and that it had been SIM

doubtless wanted to rid himself of hia
American wife for the purpose of marry
ing another woman or to effect a recon
citation with his family. Continuing the

This the princess did, and was told that
her husband had left her forever and
that he intended to bring an action for

six.
Yakes and Dee Hall. the latter a draw

were terribly cut.
The injured were made up Of the usual
crowd commonly found about the railway
station Of the small town at train time.
The explosion occurred without warning,
and the victims had no opportunity to
escape. 1t was Of such force that it tore
a great hole In the ground where the car
had stood and hurled pieces OF the
wrecked car and the platform in all di-
rections
The town was shaken as if by an earth
quake. and the explosion was heard for
a radius OF nifty miles. Most of the
wreckage, fortunately, was sent In the
opposite direction from the station, and to
this fact alone may be laid the small loss
of life.
Unusual excitement followed the explo-
sion. but as quickly as possible the dead
and dying were carried to nearby houses
and cared for. The telegraph wires were
snapped by the explosion, cutting off COM
munication by that means with the out
side points. AS soon as the neighboring
towns were apprised Of the catastrophe
aid came from half a dozen places.

WHAT'S THE USE, ANYHOW?
WHEN LOVE IS DEAD, WHY NOT
TAKE IT PHILosoPHICALLYe
That's What Frau Theresa and Sig
nor Antonio Are Doing, Despite
Judge DeLacy.

There's a breach between Germany and
Italy, though not such as TO AFFECT the
triple alliance and wrecn the peace of
Europe. 1t is one of the romantic variety,
AMI there isn't much chance of its being
mended in the near future. either. The
disputants are Mr.. Antonio Sisti. nineteen
years of age originally from Genoa. and
Mrs. Antonio Sisti. that was Fraulen
Theresa Binder. eighteen years old, orig
inally from Saxony.
Antonio and Theresa not many moons
ago decided they We're in love. They mar
ried and tried it. And now the love $
somewhat chilly. Causes Rather indefi-
mite.
1t is intimated that Antonio don't like
his mother-in-aw and Theresa don't like
hers. Flying dinner plates and few
choice expressions, not usually heard in a
Sunday school class, have lent interest to
the situation.
The climax of the matrimonial venture

with neither a look to the right nor the

Antonio was represented before the

Further action by the relatives of the
