possible if they had had electric lights.
By the time he got the bulb unscrewed, he would
have recovered from his fit of temper.
Besides. he couldn't have seen where to throw
lit, as disconnecting would have cut off the light
and stopping the flow would have cut off expense,
thus making his pastime less expen,ive.
This is only ONE of the advantages Of ELECTRIC
LIGHTS. There are others.

DUKE DECLINES TO
DISCUSS ENGAGEMENT
Abruzzi Says Confirmation of His in-
tended Marriage to Miss EIkins
Must Come from Another
Source
BY Associated PreE.


LIVERPOOL. March 27.-"There is
absolutely nothing I can say regard
ing my reported engagement to MISS
Katherine Elkins,'' said the duke or
the Abruzzi when asked for statement
today regarding the many rumors In
circulation since his departure from
the United States. The duke arrived
this morning from New York on the
steamer Lusitania. He emphasized the
personal pronoun in the statement ana
intimated that any announcement must
come from another source.
Although the duke could not be drawn
out with regard to his reported engage !
mert, he gave the impression that there
is an engagement and that some form
alities will have to be completed before
the announcement can be made, ana
this announcement must come through
official italian channels. His continual
cheerfulness on the voyage was taken
as. proof that he at least does not be-
lieve there is any insurmountable diff
Guilty in the way of his marriage to MISS
Elkins.
Abraham Hummel, the New York
lawyer who was released from prison
on March 12, also was a passenger on
the Iusitania. He received as much at
tention from the reporters and pho
tographers as did the duke, but he did
not take it so pleasantly.

Position
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 27.--A letter
was written to Governor Johnson by
Swan ]. Turnbull, publisher of the
Swedish-American Post of Minneapo-
lis. on March 23, asking him to state
his position in regard to the nominal
ton for tho presidency.
Governor johnson, in reply, said In
part: II do not believe that any
American should be an active, open
candidate for the nomination to the
presidency. Any American would ap-
preciate the high honor which would
come to him in being selected as
standard bearer of his party. I have
hitherto avoided any public or private
expression regarding my position.
Matters have progressed so far, how
ever, that it seems to me that should
at least say, in answer to your interro-
cation, that If the Democratic party
of the nation believed me to be more
available than any other man and felt
that by my nomination I could con-
tribute any service to the party and
to the nation, 1 should be happy to be
the recipient of the honor which IL
would thus confer.
II have done nothing and will do
nothing in the way of organization to
bring about this end, and shall not be
a candidate in the sense of seeking the
nomination. In this connection, / de-
sire it understood that In no sense am
I to be a candidate for the purpose of
defeating Mr.. Bryan or any other
man.
IF the Democratic party should see
fit to nominate Bryan or anyone else,
the action would meet with my ap-
proval and the nominee certainly
would have my unqualified support, as
I should expect his support If con-
ditions were reversed.
''In order that there may be no doubt
! would say, in answer to your ques-
tion, that IL nomination came to me
l certainly should not refuse it,"
