Judge Donovan fairly shouted these
words as he dismissed the divorce
case OF John vs. Maggie Carr.
The husband, who Is chef, alleged
that his wife drank TO excess, and en-
tertained other men while he was
away from home. He said he came
home once Unexpectedly and found
one George Mccormack in his home
with Mrs. Carr.
Mrs. Carr admitted drinking slight
ly, and said Mccormack was in the
house as her husband testified, but
was there merely as friend. She
said her husband attacked her visitor
with hammer, infiicting injuries
which later caused his death. She
told Of going to the Jackson City
club and finding a woman in her hus-
bands room. Then Judge Donovan
decided he had heard enough, and
ordered the pair out of court.

Especial to the Evening Star,

CHICAGO, June 15.-The busiest man
here in connection with the national
Republican convention, which will be
opened tomorrow, is a ~Jerseyman. Lee
G. Hechinger, of East Orange. OF
course, former Governor Franklin
Murphy, the Garden States candidate
for the .vice-presidential nomination,
has been very busy, and so have 9TH
ers, including Alfred n. Dalrymple,
chairman of the Essex County Republi-
can Committee, and President Thomas
n. McCarter, of the Public Service Cor
poration, together with some of the
New Jersey men who arrived last
night.
But the hardest worked man is one
who had never taken any active part
in New Jersey politics and is unknown
TO most of the politicians of Essex
County, where he lives, or to those OF
the State.
Mr.. Hechinger. Who resides at 12l
North Thirteenth street, East Orange
is serving for the third time as chief
clerk of a national Republican conven-
ton. which requires twenty hours
work a day for a week before the con-
vention and during 1t.
Mr.. Hechinger moved to East Orange
only about two years ago. He was as
sistant clerk at the convention of 1896
when President Mckinley was first

NEPHEW SHOOTS
RICH CONTRACTOR
AND HIMSELF

NEW YORK. June 15.-John Lynott,
a wealthy contractor, was shot and
probably fatally wounded today at the
front % of his home, at s44 Seventy
third street, Brooklyn, by his young
nephew, Thomas Lynott. The nephew,
after sending a bullet into his uncle's
body, under the heart, shot himself in
the temple. Both men are unconscious
M dying at the Norwegian Hospital.
The cause of the tragedy Is a mys-
terry. John Lynott had frequently as
sisted his nephew. who was recent
ly married and lived at 14S Sixteenth
street. They were believed to be on
friendly terms. Just after John Lynott
n his wife had retired last night the
door bell rang and Mr.. Lynott went
downstairs in a dressing robe. AS soon
as he opened the door Mrs. Lynott
heard a shot, nj as she ran to the
head of the stairs she saw her hus-
band fall. The next momen she saw
her nephew shoot himself.

conventions of 1900 and 1904. Thus he
has acquired an experience we'll equip
ping him for the present convention.
Work for Mr.. Hechinger began
months before the convention. The
position deals with a multiplicity of de-
tails. At the direction of the national
chairman he has to arrange all pre-
liminaries. make assignments of about
1880 employees. arrange for printing
and distribution of thousands of
tickets. and apportion tickets and the
convention employees that are allowed
to each State.
After the convention, when other Off
cials of the convention are at liberty to
return to their homes. he has to stay
to see that all the employees are paid.
This year Mr.. Hechinger had far
more work prior to the convention thar
was ever presented to a chief clerk be.
fore, due to the great number of con
tests for seats as delegates. mostly from,
the Southern States. Before the ma
tional committee met there were flec
239 protests with the Essex clerk. AL
~affldavits and other papers submitted
in connection with the protests had tc
be compiled and arranged by Mr.
Hechinger and his assistants and were
printed under his direction. When the
national committee, at the oral hear
ings in the contests. allowed only IF
teen minutes for each side to verbally
present Its case. there was not so mucl
injustice In such short shrift as one
might be led to think at first.
Arrangements for all the furnitur,
and equipment in the convention hal
were made by Mr.. Hechinger long Il
advance. He had to engage the stenog
raphers, who are to report the conven,
ton for the national committee.
One piece of furniture at the conven.
ton will attain to historical worth, if 1t il

%Like all the other delegates from

my power to win the nomination for
Viee-President for Governor Murphy
1t is said here that the Governor is
perfectly willing to have Mr.. Murphy
get the nomination. for more reasons
than State pride. The belief is strong
that the Governor would like to go to
the United States Senate in 1911, as the
successor of John Kean.
If Mr.. Murphy does not get the nomi-
nation for Vice-President he will have
a strong claim on the Senatorship and
might be the most formidable candi-
date against Mr.. Fort.
The situation is intensified by the
fact that Mr.. Murphy and the Gov
ernor ate both from Essex County and

ton for Vice-President this contin-
gency would be eliminated.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Platform build
ing and the welding of opinion as to
the most available of the vice-presi-
Dental candidates to be put in nomina-
ton, are occupying the directing in
nuences of the various State delega-
tions today.
The proposed anti-injunction and
tariff revision planks in the platform
continue to attract attention and dis
cussion among the party leaders, and
are said to be the only points upon
which any issue may be raised.
The bombshell which Speaker Can
non threw into the RooseVelt-Taft
camp by his open declaration of war
against the Gompers-Rooseyelt anti
injunction plank for the Republican
national platform and his arrival last
night to lead the fight in person, was
the one topic of conversation here to-
day.
The midnight conference at the
Union League Club last night was at
tended by leaders from every section
of the country Most of them We're
Speaker Cannon's friends in the House,
but there was no mistaking the fact
tina the movement to preserve. the
integrity of the courts will have the
strongest kim of supper in the con-
vention, and that practically the whole
country will be represented in h hgat
to defeat the Roosevelt anti-injunction
plank,
When the conference broke up in
quirers for The present views of Speaker
Cannon We're referred to his speech in
his congressional campaign nearly two
years ago, when he said;
Speaking for myself, / had rattle
quit public life now, n at the age OF
40 quit forever, true to the civilization
we have developed, true to the distri'
button OF powers to the Legislative, IN
executive and the judiciary which ar
a check upon each other, than to retain
public office at such a sacrifice to mr.
own self-respect and such terrible cos
to the country. While god gives m
life to live l will not by my act TAX
from any citizen, be he rich or poor
union man or %non-union man, farme
or mechanic, shoemaker or papermaker
doctor or lawyer, any right which /
given to another. / will not vote TO
any law which will make fair for on
and foul for another"
There was no question but that Speak
err Cannon caught the Roosevelt me
mapping.
Anti-InjunctiOn Plank.
The anti-injunction plank of the plat
form. as passed upon in Washington !
as follows;
"We declare for such an amendmen
of the statutes of procedure I'm the Fed
ernI courts with respect to use o
writ of Injunction as will, on the on
hand, prevent the summary Issue o
such orders without proper considera
ton. and, on the other, VIII preserv
undiminished the power of the courts t.
enforce their process. TO the end tina
justice may be done at all times and t
all parties"
over this plank there is a very shar'
contest. The labor leaders are urgin
it's adoption, and hundreds of tele
grams are pouring in from manufac
turers and other employers of labo
opposing the measure.

the place and the date of each conven-
ton. Between conventions the table
is stored away carefully by the SER
geant-at-arms of the national commit
tee.
1t is a standing rule that none of
the attaches of a convention hall shall
be appointed from the State in which
a convention is held. The purpose of
this is to prevent misuse of tickets.
A similar rule is adhered to in the
distribution Of tickets. and as a result
all the trouble becomes concentrated
on Mr.. Hechinger. Even before the
national committee met he had appli-
cations for more than three times the
number of seats that the Colosseum
will hold.
Delegates must have tickets as well
as the badges. Some delegates sell their
