his first wife had given birth to a

tended to leave her. Gebhardt told
the police that he never thought it

the names of the democratic can

the court ordered the printing of

tomorrow. While the independence
League has lost its old-time pres
tige in the city and is not now,
strictly speaking, an organization of
Independent voters, the adoption of
the name by Tammany is considered
as an asset to the democratic can

vocates of the immediate commence
ment of work, yet the speakers in
dorsement gave those same advo-
Gates, considerable encouragement
The president suggested that the
project should be taken up on its
merits and that it should be decid-
ed whether the country through
which the project is to be carried II,
sufficiently developed to justify the
expenditure of the large sum of
money, and whether the project, If
completed, will be useful
