Events of the Closing Day.
On receiving the news Of his nomi-
nation Mr.. R1yan declared that if
elected he will not be candidate
for a second term.
The issue is Joined and the Middle
West is to be the battle-ground.
Many Democrats fear that the at
tack of Permanent Chairman Clay
ton on Roosevelt will induce the Pres
id,nt to take the stump in defense of
his policies.
Each Defeated Twice.
Denver, Specialize ticket is
completed. Bryan has twice been de-
feated for the Presidency. Mr.. Kern
has twice been defeated for Cover
nor Of Indiana. In two former nat
ional conventions Mr.. Kern has been
considered as a candidate for the
Vice. Presidency, but failed of the
nomination. BE is close personal
friend and a supporter of Bryan, has
been steadfast in the convention to
Bryanism through all political ad-
versity.
Happy at Kern's Home.
Indianapolis, Special.-The nomi-
nation of Bryan was not received
with any evidence Of enthusiasm here
and in this respect it was identical
with the nomination Of Taft, but
when it was followed by the selection
Of Kern for 'Vice-Pfesident there was
evidences of generous enthusiasm on
the part Of the Democrats, and notice
able disappointment on the part of
Republicans. 1t was generally con-
ceded that Kern's selection would
act as an inspiration to the party in
this State, and as it is conceded that
Indiana will be one Of the battle
ground States this year, the Demo-
Gratis were bouyant and the Republi-
cans correspondingly depressed

The Boersen Zietung, National Lib

his speaking his convictions. He is
man Of weight and a magnificent agi-

BABY FALLS TWO FLOORS;
GRIPS RAIL; IS SAVED
Infant TumbIes from Fifth Story.
Catches Fire Escape In Descent
and Escapes Without Sc
rIous Injury

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. - Athletic
training, even among babies, has its
uses. TWo-year-old Josephine Graf,
whose parents live on the fifth floor
at 1857 Webster avenue. has demon
strated this. If her father, in carry
ing out his policy Of making his chill
dren athletic, had not taught her TO
hold on to a broom handle while he
carried her around the room, 1t Is
probable she would be in a coffin now
Instead of prattling happily on the
floor of her home.
While her mother was hanging
clothes from the fire escape yesterday,
Josephine, unobserved, crawled through
the window after her. Looking around,
the mother saw her baby tumble
through the hole of the fire escape. 1t
was too late to catch the child, and
she looked over the railing, expecting
to see the child fall to the pavement
below.
But the teaching which taught Jo-
sephine to hold on to the broom made
her cling to anything. Her little mus
Giles are as solid as those Of the usual
child of six. In her fall she struck the
railing of the fire escape on the fourth
floor, being thrown outside. But at the
third landing she brushed so close to
the railing of the escape that she
clutched it. The little fingers tight
ened, slipped, frightened, and held.
When she was rescued and carried
up to her home it was found that, ex-
cept for a few bruises, she was unin-
iured,

]. G. PHELPS STOKES TO
RUN FOR ASSEMBLY
His Wife, Rose Pastor Stokes, Prom
Ises to Take the Stump and
Make Cart Tall
Speeches

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.--J. G. Stokes,
who once ran for president of the board
of aldermen in this city, is going to
enter the political arena again. This
time Mr. Stokes will run for the as
sembly on the Socialist Labor party
ticket in the Eighth district. and Rose
Pastor Stokes has promised. to take the
stump for her husband and place her
self at the disposal of the campaign
committee of the district
While Mr.. Stokes Is running for as
sembly in the Eighth his brother-in-law
and fellow Socialist, Robert Hunter,
will be running for congress In the
Tenth congressional district unless the
present program of the Socialists of
the east side is changed.
Both Mr.. Hunter and Mr.. Stokes are
spending the summer at their country
homes In Connecticut.
The decision to run Mr.. Stokes for the
assembly was made by the Socialists
in the Eighth district only recently
when Jacob Banker, a lawyer and So
cialist orator, declined to run on the
plea that he would be more useful in
the national campaign. Mr.. Banker
ran in the district last year and came
within about 600 votes Of winning.
"Comrade Stokes is a good Socialist,
we believe said Organizer Jacob
Gruber at the headquarters. ''What
Mr.. Stokes may lack as a speaker Mrs.
Stokes more than makes UP. When she
starts speaking nothing can stop her.
We propose to send around carts with
our best speakers on them, including OF
be more cart-tail meetings than tho
district ever saw before. Mr.. Stokes
will be absolutely under the direction
of our campaign committee"

MOTHER TO GIVE BLOOD
TO SAVE LIFE OF CHILD
Dangerous Operation VIII Be Per-
formed in Philadelphia Hospital
as Soon as Child Is Strong
Enough

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-As soon
as 11-year-old Josephine Earle. now
recuperating in Atlantic City, gains
sufficient strength to undergo an oper-
alton she will be brought TO the Medi-
co-Chirurgical hospital here, where her
mother, hrs. Thompson G. Earle, a
Trenton woman, will have blood trans
fused from her own veins in an effort
to save her daughters life.
For five months the girl has been
whitening away perceptibly and surely
under the ravages of a, dreaded dis
ease, known as leucocythemia, an un-
wholesome condition Of the blood, in
which the white corpuscles increase
abnormally and cause the enlargement
of certain glands.
In March the child was a perfect
picture of health, with cheeks aglow
and an apparently robust constitution
for her years. Today she is frail, thin
and worn out, and her heartbeats NUM-
Der 144 a minute.
DR.. H. Lowenburg. of 1131 Pacific
avenue, Atlantic City, the attending
physician, believes that the girl will
be physically fit for the operation in
two weeks. Then, accompanied by her
mother, she will be entered at private
ward in the Medico- Chirurgical hospi-
tai to be given a last chance"
chIId's Plight PItIabIe
my only hope is that she lives out
the time and grows strong" said Mrs
Earle today.
Through the dragging illness this
woman has been at the bedside OF her
daughter constantly. She is q nurse
and has studied the case zealously. To
her it's not a sacrifice" to suffer q
TRANSMISSION of blood from her body
to her daughters veins. Rather, It's
duty impelled by mother love.
''Do you call 1t sacrifice even to risk
ones life for that of q child?" she
asked. There's no sacifice under such
conditions; but there's loVe-pure
mother love.
eff my daughter is alive two weeks
from today the operation will be per-
formed. It's the only way. It's case
in thousand, but we believe that we
can bring her back to health and we
are going to try"
She was speaking apparently without
emotion. But tears gathered in her
eyes and told the story of q pent-up
feeling that impelled her to a duty"
Withal, she has implicit faith In the
idea that the color will come again into
Josephine's cheeks and the sparkle into
her eyes, If the girl gets this chance
OF recovery.
At the time Josephine showed first
signs OF declining health she was In
Trenton, the winter home OF the
Earles. At once Mrs. Earle arranged
to have her removed to Atlantic City.
But In spite of the refreshing sea air
the girl has weakened steadily.
Slight hope is expressed among the
attendants at the Hampton terrace,
who have been assisting Mrs. Earle.
"It's wonderful that the girl is alive
today" said one of the attaches of the
place. ''She suffers from spells of
some sort, and, although she never
loses consciousness, her plight is pitt
able. Yesterday she was improved a
bit, but the physician warned every
one against letting hope rise too
high"

WOMEN THREATEN FOE
OF THE PEEK-A-B00
Georgia Legislator Gets So Many Lett
ters That His Wife Objects, and
He Seeks Protection Of
Legislature

ATLANTA, Aug. 26.-Representative
Glenn, who introduced a bill in the
Georgia legislature to prevent women
from wearing rainbow stockings, peek
aboo waists and other alluring apparel,
alleging that by such devices men
were frequently trapped into matri-
mony, is being overwhelmed with
threatening letters from women in
many parts OF the country.
Some of the letters are violent in
tone. Three Atlanta letters go so far
as to say Glenn ought to be killed.
Glenn seems to take the letters seri-
ously and has asked the protection of
the legislature. Glenn says he has also
got into trouble with his wife by rea-
son of the many letters he has been
receiving from other women. He says:
ION account of the numerous news
paper articles, letters and kilograms
have received from the various and
irate wonen's organizations of the
country and on account of my wife
being very peculiar woman, and she
tremendously objecting to my receiv-
ing letters of any kind or character
from other ladies, whether they be
mad or not, or whether they are mem
bers of any organization, kind or
charitable, am compelled to seek the
protection Of the legislature.
my very life has been threatened,
and I don't know what moment some
vengeful woman may attempt to kill
me. had no idea that women had SO
much venom in them until introduced
the bill. take it that the allegations
regarding pads, corsets, etc, are true,
or women would not be so angry"

DOG STEALS STARVING
TWINS STALE CRUST
Jacob Cohen, His Wife and Children
Are Found Weak for Lack
of Food in Bare
Rooms

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.--Two sets OF
twins made a feeble effort to reach a
blackened and hard piece Of bread In
the doorway of AZ Scanned street. A
dog grabbed the bread and made Off
with 1t, while the four babies broke
into plaintive cry. That would have
been their first meal for nearly TWEEN
ty-four hours and as good as they
have had In months.
Mamie and Eta Cohen, 4 years old,
and Bella and Samuel Cohen, 10 months
old, were the children so eagerly trying
to reach the bread tossed to them by
bit of boy who had had his fill.
An hour later, while the children
were still whimpering, Jacob Cohen
staggered into the presence of his wife
and children and feebly shook his head
as a sign that he had failed to get
work, money or food.
Eleven months ago Cohen, who is a
silversmith and an expert comb worker,
lost his position. He had saved some
money, which kept his family from
want for nearly three months. Cohen
had good furniture, and this proved a
godsend. Piece by piece he has been
forced to sell the household goods,
until the little rooms on the first floor
of 43 Scanned street were bare.
Cohen heard that he could get work
in the Grand Central station cleaning
cars, and he walked to Forty-second
street only to learn that no men were
needed. He had been without food for
thirty-six hours and when he reached
home he was too weak to explain. .
A reporter found the family defect
eddy seated on the sidewalk, the four
children crawling in the gutter. pick
ing over bits of watermelon rinds.
When bread and milk were given to
the starved children their cries of Joy
were lost in the frantic efforts to con-
sumo all the food at once.
IT have tried, but can't get work,
said Cohen, who is a clean cut, intelli-
gent young man. 81 am willing to do
anything, but times are so bad can't
get work. I have hopes of getting
Job next month, but in the meantime
my family will be dead. I'm not fi1d-
ing fault, for lots of other people are
in the same condition"
When the neighbors in Scanned
street heard of the destitute condition
of the Cohens they gathered in a group
around the doorstep, but the majority
of them were too poor to lend aid.
The Cohens came to New York two
years ago from England.

His Wife

NEW YORK, Aug. ga rough-and
tumble fight between an indignant hus-
band and his wife's affinity" gave
passengers on a Sixth avenue trolley
car more than a nickePs worth of en-
tertainment last night. When the hus-
band, who went out of his class to wall
lop the alleged wrecker of his happi-
ness, hung pair of mourning bands
on the eyes of his rival, the onlook-
ers howled with delight. The cause of
the trouble, pretty brunette still in
her twenties, grew historical when
she saw her second choice stopping
swings and uppercuts with his hand

"See that couple just getting on that

'No, but they have hurt my feelings

With this remark the man darted
after the car which was crowded to
the guard rails. He swung aboard and
forced his way up to where his rival
was clInglng from a strap In front of
the brunette. The husband opened fes-
tivities by planting a pile-driving
punch under the affinity's left ear. The
affinity went down with crash and
the battle was on.
While women passengers screamed
and tried to crawl out, the men urged
the combatants to Ego to it," which
they did with vengeance. Between
