NO ENTHUSIASM
OVER Mr.. HUGHES
Former Governor 0delI Says
the Leaders Would Pre-
fer Someone Else.

Newburgh. n. Y, July 25.-Ex-Gov-
ernor B. B. Odell. jr., state committee
man from the Twentieth district, said
today, concerning the announcement of
the candidacy of Governor Hughes for
denomination:
Governor Hughes statement is no
surprise to me. 1t is exactly what 1
have been predicting for the past six
months. There is no question but what
the organization will accept Mr.
Hughes. because to turn him down
would cause the withdrawal Of indie
pendent voters from the support of the
Republican state ticket.
Would Prefer Someone Else.
TT is a fact, also. that in every To-
cality the so-called leaders, in my
opinion, would prefer some one else:
but up to this time there has been no
crystallization of sentiment in favor of
any particular candidate in opposition.
Much as We may desire, We cannot
close our eyes to the fact that there are
dissensions in the party lines. Am
bilious persons who are anxious to
succeed Senator Platt will not look on
the candidacy of Governor Hughes
with any favor. They would prefer
some one who would openly espouse
their cause.
Hughes Holding Aloof.
Governor Hughes holding aloof
from all combinations or alignments
with any of the factions in the party
would make him more generally salts
factory to the voters than any other
man whose name has been under con-
sideration. Just how his nomination
would effect the energetic support OF
those who look after the details of a
campaign it is too early to predict.

bership in every mining camp under
its Jurisdiction, the campaign to in
clude the small companies as well as
the larger ones. Special instructions
were given regarding the mines. smelt-
ers and mills in Colorado. The prose-
cution of its officers and members hav-
ing been ended, the organization will
turn its attention TO constructive
policy.
One new district. TO be known as
Alaska district, was created. This gives
a total of eight districts and increases
the executive board TO eleven mem
bers. The question of organizing other
unions than those of miners, smelter-
men and millmen in camps where no
other labor union is represented was
under discussion when the convention
adjourned.

WALKER SENT UP

Connecticut EmbeZzIer Plead
ed Guilty on Four Counts
of the Indictment.

Hartford. Conn, July 25.-W. F..
of New Britain of more than half a
million dollars worth of securities,
pleaded guilty to four counts of the
indictment in the superior court here
today He was sentenced to not less
than one year. nor more than five years

five years on each of the three other
counts.
Sentence is to take effect on the ex-
piration of each previous sentence UNI

This will make the entire penalty not
more than twenty-one years.
The four counts represented an en-
beZZlement of bank property amount
ing to $4,000. The securities were
mostly high-class railroad bonds. The
original indictment contained thirteen
counts appertaining to bank funds and
six additional counts charging the en-
bezZlement of securities of the Connec-
ticut Baptist convention, amounting to
about $4,000.
Some Counts Not Mentioned.

by Prof Titus gefore the nature classes
at the university This order is primar-
lily the grasshopper family and on ac-
count Of IL may be of especial interest
TO all who can recall the early scourges
of these pests in Utah.
An Interesting Order
The straight-winged insects-orthop-
tera-comprise not only the grasshop-
ners in all their varieties, but crickets
and other groups large in the number
of their species ard individuals. This
large order is also OF scientific and
practical interest. 1t includes several
musical species and some clever ath-
letes, others that are serious pests, and
still others that exhibit very odd shapes
and remarkable protective colorings. =
Seven Groups of Them.
seven large groups in two principal
divisions comprise the orthoptefa.
First. there are four running groups
the carvings. the cockrOaches. the
praying mantids and the walking
sticks
The second grand division is made up
of three jumping groups-the short
horned grasshoppers. the long-horned
grasshoppers. and the crickets.
Those Horrid EarWlqs.
We rarely have any carvings here.
They are long and narrow insects, oc-
casionally found on the Pacific slope,
and distinguished by having pair of
forceps at the end of the body They
were so named because or European

The Unique Walking Sticks.
walking sticks are others that we
have only in the south. The body is so
long and slender. and the three pairs
of legs so similar in form that their
name aptly designates them. They
closely resemble the twigs on which
they live-a remarkable case of pro-
tective resemblance. They possess the
power Of reproducing lost wings, but
the new wing is weaker than the first
one.
