in the balance for an instant and one
of those rare, ~inexplicable results
came They were saved although eaIl
the surrounding conditions made 1t
seem Impossible that the seven per-
sons would not be killed outright. The
machine in which they rode was
smashed into a mass of twisted metal
that bore less resemblance to an au-
tomobile than to most anything else
that the mind could suggest. 1t is
simply lot of twisted, broken parts
scattered along the roadside. The en-
tire superstructure was torn of and
unrecognizable. AS 1t is. two OF the
party were seriously injured

Many Facts in Woman's History
Are Now Made Public
for First Time
Claim of Kinship Accompanied
by Remarkable Effort at
Secrecy by Family
Widow and Mother on Opposite
Sides in Controversy
Over Property
Two Deeds to San Francisco
Real Estate Bring Clash
Between Women

Through a bitter contest
over property rights that
probably will find its way
into the local courts soon,
there will be revealed the de-
tails of the remarkable ro-
nance woven into the life Of
the late ex-governor of Cali
fornia, James II. Budd-a
romance that has to do with
the identity and strange his
tory of a beautiful, wealthy
and accomplished woman,
who years ago came into the
life of this gruff, lovable,
wholesouled man of many
friends, and welded over
him an influence so potent
that it became and remained
an absolute sway until the
end.
To the hosts of California
who paid to Governor Budd
during his lifetime the hom-
age of deep and true friend
ship there never came the
thought that beneath the
happy, jovial personality
which he presented to the
world there lay, deep down
in his SOUL. a secret that he
would not tell, and a haunt
ing shadow that would never
leave. To the world he was<
a man of big affairs, an able
lawyer, a masterful politi-
clan, a hale fellow well met
and a genial friend. Yeti this
was not all. ~
For years Governor Budd
kept sealed in his own
heart a secret that to him
was too sacred to be shared
even with the members of
his own family; he died with
his lips still locked; then two
women-one of them his
wife, the other the mystic
rious woman toward whom
he bore a remarkable affec-
tion-came forth with ad-
verse claims to certain pieces
of his property, and in the
midst of their preparations
for a battle in the courts his
secret has become a secret
no longer.
On July 81 of this year,
the day after Governor
Budd's death In Stockton,
there was recorded in this
city a deed transferring a
piece of property from Mrs.
Daisy ZilIa Dumouriez of
San Francisco to her daugh-
ter. Four days later Mrs.
Inez A. Budd, the govern
or's widow, recorded a deed

ALL But
AN UNDERSHIRT'
ZIMMERMAN AWAKES ON SLEEP
ING CAR TO FIND SELF BARE
AND BROKE.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. Civilian E.
Mcmillan, president of the Mcmillan
Lumber company of Pittsburg, Chicago
and Baltimore, is victim of perhaps
the most unique, certainly the mean,
est, sneak thief who ever entered a
Pullman car.
While enroute from Baltimore to
Pittsburg over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, last night. the thief
stole every stitch of clothing pos
sessed by Mr.. Mcmillan while the
latter slept The lumber man, who
weighs 200 pounds, retired, wearing
only dinky little athletic undershirt.
He had this when he was awakened
this morning, and, in addition, his
fancy vest. But his shoes and socks.
as well as his roll-S250-an about
$3.50 in jewelry, was gone. Nor did
he have his hat.
Mr. Mcmillan set the train crew and
porter at work to find the clothing,
thinking that some joker friend had
taken it, but it was not to be found.
The train had made frequent stops in
the night and it is supposed that at
one of the stops the thief got on
board and carried off Mr. McMillan's
wardrobe without waiting to sort
things out.

can state convention to select nomi-

Colonel Charles A. Clark of Cedar
Rapids, a venerable and distinguished
Iowa attorney, was chosen as tenn
porary chairman of the convention
and Charles Bradley of LIE Mars was

pointment and thus render unneces.
sary the expense of county conven.
tions and the state convention. But
the attorney general held that this
method would be illegal and it was de
cided to reconvene the delegates
chosen at the primaries.
Decision Embodied In Resolution.
The following resolution was passed
by the committee:
Resolved, that the chairman and
secretary prepare and issue a call for
the delegates in the several counties
of the state, selected at the last pri.
mary election to meet at the respec-
tive county seats, on the 10Th of Aug
gust to select delegates to state con-
vention to be held at Des Moines, on

TALKS ON DELAY IN
LAW ADMINISTRATION
sLYNcHINe HE HOLDS TO BE DI-
REcTLY TRAcEABLE TO LACK
OF THoRoUGHNEss IN EN-
FoRcEMENT OF CRIMINAL LAW

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 6.-William
H. Taft today addressed the Virginia
Bar association giving In detail his
views on the delay in the administra-
tion OF the law and suggestions for re-
formers. Judge Taft presented the
subject by stating that the end sought
in the administration Of Justice was
to promote tranquility and content
ment among the people, but he ex-
pressed doubt that our present ad-
ministration of justice insured general
popular satisfaction with It's result.
Lynchins Due 70 Slow Prosecution.
There are" he said, abundant
evidences that the prosecution of
criminals has not been certain and
thorough to the points of preventing
popular protest. The existence of
lynching in all parts of the country is
directly traceable to this lack Of uni
formity and thoroughness in the en-
| forcement of our criminal laws. The
| inequality that exists in our present
administration Of the justice and that
sooner or later is certain to rise and
trouble us and to call for popular con-
demnation and reform is in the un-
equal burden which delays and adds
expense to litigation under our system
and imposes on the poor litigant"
Opposes Too Much Conservatism.
One remedy, Taft said, must be re-
form in our judicial procedure which
is now too cumbersome. Another
would be more expedition on the part
| of the Judges in rendering their opin-
ions Taft closed with a tribute 20
the legal profession. and cautioned
that conservatism ought not to be al
lowed to prevent reforms which are
in interest, equalizinfi the administra-
tion of Justice as far as possible be
tween the poor and the rich.

Several Other Divorce Cases on
 on ibe Calendar.

The divorce court did not do much business to-day. Only one case was heard, that of Ernest Nelson Will. Hams against Mary Charlotte Will. Hams. Desertion and infldelity were the allegations. The defendants previous name was Root and she married the petitioner in 1900. Two years later she deserted him and that was the last he saw of her. He tes. tified, however, that she led dis reputable life in Meriden and Bridge port. He was granted . divorce.
 Mrs Hermine Hicks, whose divorce suit was heard last week and was continued to correct some necessary dates in the writ, did no. appear to- day, she not being ready with the desired testimony. The rase went over to next Briday.
 The same disposition was made oe the suit of Mrs Harriet L. McVittle against William R. McVittie. Dr F. G. Graves, a necessary witness, could not be found last week and to-day he was out of town.
 The cases of Jennie Ward against Frank B. Ward and Jennie W. Can ner against William H. Gamer went over also.

 Barney" a fire horse at the Brooklyn engine house, was shot this morning. The aninsai which has been sick for some time became so bad a few days ago that it was unable to eat and to end its misery Chief Snagg decided to have 1t shot. Dr Charles Beers. the veterinarian, fired the shot which sent Barney to the land where he will answer no more calls. Barney" has been doing service for the fire department since 1903 and was considered very fine animal. It seemed to be much brighter than the average animal and was a big favorite at the Brooklyn house About three months ago the horse became III from no apparent cause. The at tending veterinarian said 1t was brain fever. There was hope of saw ing the steed's life and when it be-  came no worse during the following weeks 1t was thought 1t would come around after a time. But of late it has grown steadily worse and its throat was becoming paralyzed. Three days ago the horse stopped taking any food or drink and the chief feali- zed that 1t wohld only starve to death if left to suffer in its stall So he came to the conclusion that be quick CT it was killed the better. The ani- nal weighed about 1900 pounds and was uked on the hose wagon.

LARKIv IN ENGLAND
Alderman Enjoying BimseIt But
 Has Longing For Bome.

Superintendent Beach of the DO.
 lice department is in receipt of a
 letter from Alderman w. J, Larkin
 who is visiting at lis former home
 in England, in which he speaks en-
 couragingly of how things look ili
 that country and throws out some hints to Mayor Thoms and other I city officials with reference to per
 manent pavement which he thinks i the Chase Rolling mill teams would
 not cut down as readily as they do
 the vitrified blocks on North Main street.
 MT Larkin writes a nice hand and l states his views very clearly. On l the voyage over the. sea was rather rough at times and on one or two 1 occasions the water rushed over the deck with such force that many feared the vessel would founder ana ] sink to the bottom. While the ald- erman does not say so, yet the in 1 ference one naturally reaches is that when he thought the end was near | and he was about to be ushered into i sins of his past life crowded in upon his mind and he would give all he ever saw if those whom he ,. had sinned against were near so that he might ask pardon of them and pass over to the silent majority at peace with himself and all the rest of mankind. But the worss didn't come and in due time the good ship cast anchor at Southampton and Mir Larkin stepped onto his native soil with light heart and determina- ticn to be a be- ter man than ever before in the future.
 He stopped for some time at the First Avenue hotel in London and while passing through the corridor he was surprised and pleased to catch glimpse of couple of fa- miliar faces among the great army of visitors at that place. They were those of Mrs David B. Hamilton and Miss Alvina Twining of this city, with whom MT Larkin had pleas ant half hour talk about old times in Waterbury. Mrs Hamilton and Miss Twining are in the enjoyment Ul SOUu Hcdllu anu lHduC Hiohy AA quiries about friends in this ci.y.
 MT Larkin says that the weather was so chilly when he left here and on the way over he expected to find snow on the ground when he reached the other side, but in this he was agreeably disappointed. The cowslips, daisies, bluebells and oth- CT wild flowers that adorn the land- scape in "Merrie" England were in bloom, making up very cheerful prospect and the alderman says he enjoyed 1t very much.
 The alderman took particular mo- tice to the pavement used in Lon- don, much of which is wood and ap- pears to give excellent satisfaction, but in order to insure safe footinN for horses they are calked and trip over the smooth surface without the slightest trouble.
 MT Larkin desires to be remem- bered to everybody in Waterbury and says he hopes to return soon, adding that no matter where you go you find no place like home.
