HUGHES TEST
IN MANHATTAN
Democratic Primary Fight Be-
tween Tammany Leader
and McCarran

New York, Sept. s.-More interest
ing than any other feature Of the Re-
publican primaries IN Greater New
York today will be the so-called
Hughes test. In all election districts
of the ten assembly districts in Man
haitian and two in Brooklyn, the en-
rolled voters of the party will be
asked whether or hot they favor the
denomination of the governor. There
are contests among the Republicans
for the leadership in at least seven
Manhattan and Bronx districts but
there is little more than local inter-
est In any of them.
Except for the struggle in Kings
county, which may mean the down
fall of Senator McCarran and the
triumph in that borough of Charles
F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany
Hall. there is also little of general in
terest that is foreshadowed for the
Democratic primaries either in that
county or this. but Queens county
will have a lively contest by former
borough president, Joseph Cassidy. to
regain control from Sheriff Herbert
S. Harvey. The polls were open from
8 o'clock this afternoon to o'clock

PROVED A HERO
Lost Life in an Effort to Save That Of
q Child.

New York, Sept s.-Though badly
burned. John Tuck, retired real es-
tate dealer, returned to burning
apartment in Brooklyn this afternoon,
for missing child and saved 1t, but
at the expense of his own life. He
had already rescued the mother, Mrs.
William .Clampel. using his coat to
protect her as he carried her down
the stairs. She cried for her child
when the street was reached. Dis
regarding his own injuries, Tuck hur-
ried back and safely brought the in
FAINT out of the house. On his second
trip he was unable to prevent his own
clothing from taking fire. When he
laid the child in it's mothers arms
he collapsed and died. Neither Mrs.
Clampel nor her child received seri-
GUS injuries.

Portland. Sept. s.-A package en-

J. R. Albert, president of the Capital

Portland from Salem on the Southern
Pacific train. arriving here at 1880
O'clock on the nigh, of August 1, has
been established beyond a doubt, but
what became of it after that hour
would be welcome news to the ex-

Banker Albert of salem. How the
theft was accomplished is almost as
great mystery to the express COM
pany officials as is the identity Of the

The negro said that the hand of Mr..

MRS. HAMS TALKS
Fights Her Accusers and Defends Her
Honor

Honor
New York, Sept. 8.-Defending her
honor and branding as false the accu-
sations made by her husband, Mrs
Claudia E. .Hains, wife of the slayer
of William E. Annis, has made full
and complete statement concerning
the events which led up to the Bay
side tragedy
In this statement she gives a de-
tailed account of her life at Fort
Hancock and at Fort Hamilton dur
ing the absence of her husband, Cap.
tain Peter Conover Hains, U. s. A., in
the Philippines. 81
She denies with positiveness the
charges that her friendship with An.
mis- was improper and stamps the
statements made by T. Jenkins Hams
her brother-in-laW, as unqualff1edly
untrue.
This statement has been given over
to her lawyers and will, within a
short time, be made public.
The document is the result of many
conferences with Mr.. Norton, her Bos-
ton attorney, and Frank A. Wild, her
New York lawyer.
1t is declared to be an amazingly
frank and clear presentation of the
wife's side of the case.
Silence at First.
Mrs. Hams, shortly after the
tragedy, decided she would remain
silent, but the bitter attacks made
upon her name by her husbands fam
lily and their lawyers caused her to
change her mind.
To permit the many allegations
that have been made to go unanswer-
ed would, she now thinks, be unfair
to>her self and to her three little chill
dren.
1t is known that Mrs. Hams has un-
dergone great mental distress as a
result of the attacks made upon her
character.
On several occasions she has been
upon the verge of a nervous collapse.
Mrs. Hains regarded the declara-
ton that her little son, Peter, would
be put on the witness stand to defend
his father and attack his mothers
reputation was especially cruel, and
she could not longer remain in ST.
lence.
T. Jenkins Hains Blamed.
In the statement T. Jenkins Hains,
who is to be tried for murder after
the trial of his brother is finished, is
held responsible for all of the troubles
of Mrs. Hains and for the Bayside
tragedy itself
To his sinister influence over Cap
tain Hams she ascribes the charges
made by her husband against her. as
we'll as the poisoning of the mind of
her seven-year-old son against her.
The statement of Mrs. Hains will
be used by District Attorney Darrin
in his prosecution of the Hams
brothers.
If he cannot induce the woman to
take thewitness stand against her
husband he is expected to have the
document made in the form of an
affidavit, and he will seek to have
this admitted as evidence.

Oyster Bay, L. I. Sept. s-The SEN
sational report that an attempt had
been made to shoot President Roose-

the fact that the hunting season has

considerable shooting daily in the OUT

fails to show that there has been any
covert act directed against the presi-
dent. It is his custom to ride out ev-

usual for him to encounter parties

miles Of Duluth aud as far north as
the extreme northerly edge of the

Throughout this territory comprising
one hundred square miles, the fires
are raging, settlers are being burned
out by the hundreds, and it will be
impossible to estimate the total loss
for weeks ito come. 1t will run into
millions of dollars. No more towns of
any Importance have been burned

constant vigilance is needed to save
