BIRTH OF THE w. c. T. U.

One morning, three days before
Christmas in the black panic year of

church at Hillsdale. Ohio, swung
open and out marched thirty women,
two by two, singing. They went to
drugstores and saloons and hotels;
they pleaded and sang and prayed, I'M

their entreaties. 1t was a contagion
that spread throughout the land, who'll

there had been growing to womanhood

OF CAMPAIGN
CONTINUED from Page One)


it the management of the campaign
for the election of the Taft and Sher-
man ticket When it was learned to-
day through a dispatch from Cincin-
natl that Hitchcock had asked Taft
not to consider him for the chairman
ship, a delegation headed by Senator
Warner of Missouri Immediately call
ed on Hitchcock.
rs this true" asked Warner, ex-
hibiting a dispatch as printed in an
afternoon paper.
1T is" replied Hitchcock. After
considering the subject carefully l
decided it would be best not to per-
nit my name to come up in connec-
ton with the appointment. The fact
is. 1 am physically exhausted and
need a rest. My friends have been
very kind and it is only because of
their zeal in my behalf that 1 regret
the necessity of retiring"
The members of the delegation pro-
tested that Hitchcock was qualified
to manage the campaign and when
they left his rooms they declared that
they would not consent to his retire
ment, regardless of his wishes. Sew
eral of his warm personal friends ar
gued with Hitchcock today that he
would have plenty of time to rest be-
fore it was necessary to open head
quarters, but he gave them no sat
isfaction.
That there is a considerable num-
Der of members of the national COM
mittee opposed to the selection of
ic odpnitfnd and dnI1ht
this is responsible in no small de-
gree for his determination to with
draw from the race. He informed
some of his friends today that he
had accomplished all he had under
taken; the nomination of Taft having
been made he could retire with good
grace, and the secretary without en-
barrassment could select a manager.
A persistent report that Hitchcock
had been invited to meet Taft on
Tuesday could not be confirmed but
it is known that he intends to leave
for the east on Monday night. He
declined to discuss his plans for the
future beyond saying mat he is go
ing to have a vacation.
Many names have been mentioned
for the craftsmanship since the news
of Hitchcock's declination was re-
ceived Among these are Postmaster
General Meyer and Herrick. 1t is
stated that neither or these men want
to assume the responsibility of man
aging a long campaign but neverthe-
less they seemed to pc the only men
mentioned seriously. 1t is said also
that the intimate relations between
Meyer and Hitchcock might induce
the latter to take the vice chairman
ship and an active part in the man
agement of fhe campaign if Meyer is
chosen chairman. Hitchcock declared
that he would not think of such a
thing. If Taft and Hitchcock meet
soon and the republican candidate
should insist on Hitchcock continuing
to manage his campaign, his friends
here are confident that he could be
drafted. They stated emphatically
that he owed it to the republican
party to do what he could for the
election of the Chicago ticket.

David M. Gardner Says Man

In a/letter addressed to THE EVE

Caldwell. says that he believes Archi-
bald Heron. the condemned murderer
of the Rev. S. B. d. Prickitt. former
borough recorder of Metuchen, to be
insane. He declares that the mans
many decisions point conclusively to in
sanity n adds that electrocution
without a further consideration of the
facts in the ease would be a RESPONSE
bility that he as a citizen of the State
would not care to shoulder.
I He suggests that Heron be placed in
some institution where he might be
watched for a year. The appointment
of a State lunacy commission to inves-

by the physician.

CLEAR BREEDING
PLACES AND So
FIX Mr.. SKEETER
Professor Smith Says Exter-
mination of Pests Lays in
Citizens Own Hands.

The unusually heavy rainfall expe-
rienced in Newark and vicinity during
the present summer has brought in its
trail such hordes of mosquitoes that
ways and means of extefminating, or
at least partly wiping out. the pests.
are being eagerly discussed throughout
New Jersey. According to the ento-
mologists. VINO have made a special
study OF mosquito-ology, the only eff
fective wholesale remedy is to be
found in cleaning up their breeding
places.
The life of a mosquito, according to
the experts, is only of about ten days
duration. but during this short exist
ence, each female lays and matches n
batch of eggs. The eggs are laid in
stagnant water SO that the obvious
preventive to the mosquito plague Is
to do away with all such places. Where
this is not possible, a little oil poured
into the water will effectively prevent
further breeding.
The State ~entomologist, Professor !.
D. Smith, states that the principal
Newark are the catch basins In the
sewers. found On every street corner,
dead pipes In roof cutters and rain
barrels. In dry weather these pools
are stagnant and breed mosquitoes in
droves. A little oil, Mr.. Smith says
would fix them.

were defective in several respects, as
shown in recent %recounts where ballots

that during the last three years not
a bill had been introduced to benefit

Referring to the primary law, Mr..

under it, so much time would be con-
sumed, under ordinary circumstances,
that the count would run into the reg

gested earlier primaries.

WOMAN AIDED A
SILK HAT HORSE
Thief TO STEAL
L.aveen. Blamed with Many
Crimes, Wore Full Dress
for Dinner.

Arnold Laveen, who is said to have
stolen many horses while posing al a
rich clubman, and who is under arrest
in Jersey City, will be claimed for New
ark by Detective Sergeant Thomas Cor
bally, of the detective bureau. Cor
bally has in the last six days traced
ten stolen horses over the State that
he says were sold by Laveen. A num-
Der of the animals, all of which were
valuable, were recovered In this city,
many of them having been bought by
Frank Hageman, of PIG Fifteenth ave-
nue., who disposed of them.
Laveen wears fine clothes and In his
trunk were found full dress and dinner
suits. He wears a high hat n Is a
most fastidious dresser. When Cor
bally saw Hageman the latter admitted
that he had bought a number of horses
from the prisoner and had disposed of
them.
CORDIALLY has been working all over
the State and in Pennsylvania and has
recovered ten horses, the harness and
wagon of another stolen rig and knows
where he can get h eleventh horse
in Pennsylvania. In some instances
the animals had changed hands hall
a dozen times and the wagons were
found In Newark when h horse was
found in 1'arrytown.
Laveen is about 35 years old. and
has a polished manner. He was aided
in his operations, the police say, by a
pretty young woman, who had a speak
ing acquaintance with some of the so
cially prominent people In the State
and between the two they had but lit
tie trouble in getting the best horses.
The man and woman confined theii
operations to Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. CORDIALLY was confident hat he
would be able to locate the woman and
Their connect them.
The man would visit a town, stop
at the best hotels. spend his money
freely, and in a number of instances
visit the prominent clubs, where he
would show cards of big New York
clubs. In Tarrytown and Morristown
he visited the clubs n lost consid-
cradle money at poker. and then would
go TO a livery stable and get the best
rigs.

BALDWIN, L. T., Aug. 7.-Snarling

courage equal to hat displayed by the
late w. H. Marsh, of Brooklyn, who
died from the bite of a dog.
Mrs. Trltmbull was bitten in the face
more than a month ago, the cat later
being shot as it ran wild. Not unit

appear, but al chat time the woman

a heavy, strong woman Weighing 1C
pounds, and so violent were the spasms
that the combined strength of three
men could not keep her In bed. She
rolled to the floor, and in her agony
demolished the furniture. Opiates had
no effect, and as she was conscious be-
tween commissions ner terror and agony
were such that she pleaded with al
to end them by putting her to death
The end came after two days, and
modification set in so rapidly thai
cremation was necessary inside OF
tWenty-fOur hours.
