 The statutes provides that in case of the death, resignation, refusal or inability of the general registrar to act his deputy shall assume the office, appoint deputy to himself and carry on the work.To straighten the matter out, MT, Foley immediately will re- 1 fuse to act, and Mir. Mcfarland will take his place and file the appoint ments for this year The work of making the registration has not start ed yet, so therefore Mir Foley has not been under salary for that job MT, Foley said yesterday that he thought he had done the thing according to Hoyle, when he appointed MT.

 STEAL SUNDAY RECEIPTS.
New Haven Road Trying to Recover
 S2.0OO Lost.

Chief James McMahon of the New Haven roads detectives, has sent two of his men from New Haven to New York to try to trace s2.0O0 that disap- peared from the safe of the office of the New Haven Steamship line at Pier 2s, East River. a week aso yester- day.
 This line sends out an excursion steamer every Sunday morning. an l the receipts week ago amounted to $2,000 This was placed in the safe in the presence of several clerks who, as well as the cashier, are above sus- picion.
 When the safe was opened Monday morning 1t was discovered that the $2,000 was gone. There were no marks on the safe or the office doors to indicate that burglars mad been at work. so the police had to adopt the theory that 1t was an "ins1e job" But after weeks hard work the mystery is as deep as ever.

TAFT ON COURTS
Declares the People Are Re, sponsible for Administra-
 tion of Justice.
RIGHT TO CRITICISE UPHELD
Regrets That He Ever Left the Court Room-Speech Delivered
 in Virginia.

Hot Springs, Va, July 20-William H. Taft today was present at the dedi- cation of new courthouse at German town, Va, Ave miles from Hot Springs and took part in the opening session of the court He delivered an address upon the administration of justice by the courts, and received hearty greet ing.
 The news that the republican candi- date for the presidency would be pres- ent caused large gathering of vlr- ginians from this section of the state, including hundreds of mountaneers, who travelled long distances to see him.
 Mir. Taft in his speech, said that the feeling of responsibility among the people of this country for the govern ment and the courts was largely brought about by the fact that people are called upon to act on juries and In other ways help to decide the Issues brought before the courts.
 ''As long he said, as the people feel that these are their courts, and that, when they go wrong and injustice re- suits, they ought to be ashamed of the wrong and feel that they are responsi- ble for fl, you can count upon con tlnuance of free government He upheld the right of the citizen properly to criticise the courts so that those who administer justice may feel that they are under the critical eyes of the men and women who are entitled to have the courts of the people ad- ministered without fear or favor.
 "I cannot go into the atmosphere of a court room said MT. Taft, without a feeling of deep regret that I ever left | 1t, because for eleven years I was on | the bench. I cannot refrain from com | menting on what was to me. excepting only the family relation. the most in timate friendship and the sweetest re. lation I have ever experienced In my life"
 He congratulated the people of Batl county because the political parties were so equally divided in the county
 For" he continued, "where party Is constantly in control, so as to bt overwhelmingly the victor every time It is with great difficulty that evil mer are kept out of the administration o the government"
 Great applause interrupted tho speaker when concluded, by saying h' knew all would agree with him that ht had not stepped across the line O politics"

You would hardly call r corset yet 1t takes the place of that article and is a lot more comfortable for dis portings in the surf, It IS a sleeve less underwaist of thin rubber. very sparsely boned in front ani fitting the form closely It does not hamper freedom of movement, as the corset does. yet it gives the necessary support to the figure, and, moreover, keeps the wet bathing suit from adhering to the form. There's nothing to rust about it and 1t dries quickly Altogether 1t seems like sensible adjunct to the ocean plunge.
