CLAIMS GREAT DISCOVERY

Rudolph NJ. Hunter of Philadelphia claims

kind has been seeking yany since the days Of
the ancient Egg ptians. that of the transmutation
of the baser metals into gold What the process
is he alone knows: for even TO his sons he has
confided only part of it. 1t is his intention
that the secret shall remain in his own family
If Mr.. Hunters claim be justified and he is rec
ognized a responsible man with a wonderful
inventive genius. he Will demoralize the curren-
cy systems of all the countries in the world;
they will have to find metal the basis
of their currency, for If gold is produced in large
quantities it will deprecate in value more than
even silver has done. 1t will be vau

FISHER WILL FIGHT
Not Through With Politics. Says He Was Defeated By Lavish
 Use of Money.

Middletown, Jan 24.-In a state- ment made to the newspapers to-day Mayor Fisher, who was beaten in the election Monday by L. Med Russell, claims that he was not honestly beaten and that he is far from ready to retire from politics. He says he has looked over the tally sheets and voting lists and is convinced that there was lavish use of money on the part of the republican campaign CTS. Many men, the statement goes on, were obliged to vote for the re- publican candidate whether they wanted to or not. and at least in two factories employees were intimidated by men in authority Mayor Fisher also says that the strong anti-Cath- ollie feeling which cropped out here some months ago had something to do with his defeat, as three Cath ollcs were on his ticket and none on the republican ticket. The sub sidized opposition of J. Taylor Flynn and Registrar of Voters O'Connor also figured in his defeat, he says.
 The defeated candidate concludes by saying that there are about 200 purchasable votes in the city and that about 150 of these went over to the other side.

New Haven, Jan. 24.-Mrs Clifford Caldwell, who with her sister, Miss Virginia Peck, was shot by Mrs Cadwelps husband late last night as they were about to enter their home in Gill street, was reported to be in a serious condition in Grace hospital to- day. with apparently little chance to live out the day. Two bullets from Cadwell's revolver took effect in his wife and while one has been removed. the other entered the base of the brain and probably will cause death.
 Caldwell had not been living with his wife for two months and 1t Is said that he attempted to affect re- conciliation last night. but on failing to do so he shot his wife and then his sister-in-law. both of whom were with their mother, Mrs Frank G. Peck.
 Coroner Mix took up the case early to-day, when he examined Caldwell, who was arrested in the center of the city while attempting to escape.

NJ FIGHT 0N HUGHES.
Secretary Taft Gives Up Empire
 State to the Governor.
CALLS OFF EXECUTIVES FOES
Tells Congressman Parsons He Does Not Desire Delegation Divided and Depreeates Any Fight That sht
 lmperil Success In State In November.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Secretary TafI executed q sudden flank move in order to spike the guns of the antiadminis tration forces in New York state.
 He wrote to Herbert Parsons. presi. dent of the New York county Repub lican organization, assuring him tha, he was free to support Governor Hughes for the Republican nomina. ton for president The secretary in his letter said:
 Il am aware that you and many other friends of mine in New York state who are also friends of Gov. ernOr Hughes have hesitated as to the course to pursue in respect to the Republican nomination for the presi- dency.
 ''I wish you and them to know that as far as 1 am concerned there should be no embarrassment in this regard.
 "I have uniformly urged friends ni mine not to attempt to divide in hy interest the delegation from any state which has candidate of its own Since Governor Hughes has indicated his willingness to accept the Repub. lican nomination now make the same request of you and my other friends fin your state.
 Moreover. I would greatly depre. cate contest which might imperil Republican victory in New York in No, vember. Anything that can do tc avoid this am anxious to do."
 Secretary Tafts letter was written, 1t is understood, for the purpose of shutting off charges that the admins tration was using federal patronage to beat down opposition to Mir. Taft which have been made repeatedly by friends of Governor Hughes in the last few days.
 It was also taken as an indication that the administration is certain that 1t will have enough delegates in the convention in Chicago to nominate Secretary Taft on the first ballot with. out New York and that in publicly withdrawing from the contest in the Empire State Secretary Taft will strengthen his position materially in other sections of the country. Score. tary Taft sent his letter to Mir. Par. sons late last night.
 After receiving Secretary Tafts let. ter Mir. Parsons left for New York to begin the work of securing an in- structed Hughes delegation from that county.
 . Mir. Parsons said before leaving:
 'I expect to meet the party leaders today or tomorrow. and the chances are I will call a meeting of the New York county Republican committee to be held before Jan. 3l. the date on which Governor Hughes Is to outline his platform. I shall insist that our delegation from New York county be instructed to vote for and work for Hughes so long as there is chance of success He has every right to expect this from his own county. and l shall insist that there he no lukewarmness about it. There will be no instructions for second choice so far as 1 can see now.
 "A strong sentiment for Secretary Taft has manifested itself from time to time. but that must not be consid. cred now that Hughes is in the race"

But among their number there is a whole hardy brood for which the rigors of winter possess no terrors. These are the angle wings. or vanes- sids.
