the failure to post in the second case
being no bar. This acted as a relief
in several in which the late

Chairman Corners insists that Lieu

Slate Given Out.
Just before the convention was
called to order William ]. Corners,

of the nominations:

Dix Was Surprise.
The slate, with the exception of
candidate for lieutenant governor, is
the same as that decided upon at the
all-night conference. The selection of
Dix was a big surprise, as it was
taken as settled that Francis Burton
Harrison of New York would be
chosen.

strengthen the ticket with the up

Harrison for congressional nomina-
ton.

TO MAKE FRONT
STREET WIDER
Street and Sewer Directors
Following Out the
Project

With the setting Of the new curb or
Front street between French and King
streets, the Street and Sewer Depart
ment has completed at least half of the
work the proposed widening Of that street
from French to Market street
The setting of the curb makes the
street between French and King eleven
feet wider than it was several months ago
with the exception OF that part occupied
by the Merritt House. Ultimately the
street and Sewer Directors hope to be en-
abled to condemn that part of the Merritt
House beyond the new building line. Not
until then. indeed. will the purpose OF
the directors TO widen the street uniformly
have been accomplished
As a result OF the condemnation of the
building extending 70 the old building line,
Front street has acquired a greatly inn
proved appearance and is a decidedly bet
ter traffic way. Being one Of the most
largely used streets in the city the Wild
ening has facilitated traffic about the
Pennsylvania Railroad station TO a degree
AS for the appearance, while It is not
probable that Front street will ever be
prepossessing, the new building line has
given the street a look of businesslilSe
strangeness that has encouraged the
Street and Sewer Directors to hasten the
work OF curbing so that the widened
street may be ready for traffic as soon as
possible. The old frame shacSs that lined
Front street between French and King
streets have given away TO the Lieberman
Arcade. and the number of other brick
stores that complete the square.
On the square between King and Mar
ket streets one building has already been
put back and new front built up in
brick. The rest of the buildings on the
square still remain on the old building
line but as soon as the Street and Sewer
Directors arc in position TO begin con-
demnation. the widening of the street VI

WRTTEN STATEMENT BY VIZ E.
AhJNIS MADE Aztec THE SHOOTING

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Virtually
every officer in the United States Army
was rallied to the defence of Captain
Peter c. Hams. Jr., the slayer of Will
liam e. Annis today, by the publication
of a story that Mrs. Hains made a coun-
ter charge to her husbands divorce
proceedings and had depicted condi-
tions in American army circles which,
if proved to exist, would result in a
great scandal.
Army officers declare that even
though the charges in the newspaper
stories are ignored by the government,
which is not considered likely. they
them selves will demand an investiga-
tion to purge the atmosphere Of army
life.
The exact text of the army captains
wife's allegations has not yet become
public. the only information regarding
it being contained in an interview with
her father in the papers.
Service of the papers in which Mrs.
Hams made her sensational charges
was made on Captain Hams a week
ago last Monday.
These matters will all come out in the
trial of the Hams brothers now seems
certain.
Hains Brothers Guarded.
Rumors that the Hams brothers had
repented their attitude of desiring the
vindication and were meditating an
escape from the fiimsy Long Island jail
i'm which they are confined, has result
ed today in the placing of extra guards
over them. Both General Hains and a
brother of the prisoners, Major John
Powell Hams, of Chicago. are here to-
day, as is also r. p. Hams, of Boston,
an uncle of the slayers. All are men
of means and are standing solidly be-
hind the men who killed Annis. There
will be no lack of funds for the de-
f-nse, as besides the fortunes of their
relatives, Captain Peter c. Hams. him.
self has an income of about $4,000 a
year and his brother. T. Jenkins. is con-
sidered wealthy from the royalties on
his writings.
And while father, brother and uncle
Of the Hams brothers are here fight
ing their battle out at Sandy Hook,
at Fort Hancock, the aged mother of
the slayer and his children are under
guard TO prevent the intrusion of un-
welcome visitors upon the grief of the
aged woman. The commanding officer
at the fort placed the guard this morn
ing after an influx camera fiends
who sought TO snap the children and
their grandmother.
Coroner Ambers inquest in the case
at Flushing town hall tonight will be
most perfunctory affair. He will
merely establish the murder and the
probable motive.
No ceremonial OF a Masonic nature
was used at the burial of Annis to-day
in st. Michaers Episcopal cemetery al
Astoria. nor was there any reference
made to the manner of his death al
the funeral services at his former home
here.
Members of the Bayside Yacht Club
attended the funeral services as did also
a few of the dead mans brother masons
