LOSES RACE WITH DEATH.
F. Vanderlip Goes From New York
to Chicago in Is Hours.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 28.-Frank l..
Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank of New York, broke all
American records, according to state
ments made by New York Central of
ficials to-day, in an effort to reach the
bedside Of his dying mother here, but
he lost the race with death by exactly
% minutes. Mr. Vanderlip, in a spe-
cial train, covered the distance from
New York to Englewood, a suburb of
this city, in Is hours and minutes,
and when he leaped from the train he
was met with the announcement that
his mother, Mrs. Charlotte l.. Wander
lip had died at 230. The strain of the
past day almost caused the big man to
collapse.
Shortly before midnight last night
Vanderlip received word from Chicago
that his mother was near death. He
Immediately ordered the New York Cen
trail to supply him with the fastest spe-
cial train at it's command. The notice
was short, but the company had a train
ready to leave New York at midnight.
The train consisted of four coaches and
the most powerful engine that could be
secured in that short time.
ATE UP SPACE.
Mr.. Vanderlip's train was given the
right of way over everything on the
line. The railroad officials expected to
cover the distance in Is hours, but such
performance as was accomplished was
beyond their widest dreams. The spe-
cial left New York at midnight and the
wild race with death was on.
OThe run from New York to Buffalo
440 miles-was covered in 800 minutes,
which included a three minute stop for
a change of engines. The time of ar
irving at Buffalo was $50 a. m. This
was wonderful performance, but Mr..
Vanderlip was crying for more speed.
He had received encouraging word from
the bedside of his mother and was near
ly frantic.
The run from Buffalo to Cleveland
1888 miles-was covered in 1853 minutes.
The engineer threw the throttle wide
open and the miles slipped by at dizzy
pace. Leaving Cleveland at 9.27, the
special arrived at Toledo at H. % a. M,
covering 10S miles in 116 minutes.
This was the slowest stage of the mad
dash across the country.
HAS BEEN ILL SOME TIME.
Elkhart, Ind, was reached at 1.23 p.
m., making 1873 miles in 120 minutes.
Englewood was reached at 2.28, the last
95 miles being eaten up in 80 minutes.
Mr.. Vanderlip left the train at Engle
wood, which was the nearest station to
his mothers home.
The train continued on to the central
station and arrived here at 3.07, max
ing the total time Is hours and IA min
utes.
Mrs. Vanderlip was 6S years of age
and had been ill for some time, but it
was not thought she was in any danger
until last night, when Mr.. Vanderlip !
was summoned to Chicago.

PARTIES NAY JOIN
ON ONE CANDIDATE
Rules for Register on Direct Pri-
mary Law Made by Elec-
ton Commission
Union Labor Party Presents
Arguments for Right to
Place on Ballot

The election commission decided yes
terday that candidate may receive
moro than one nomination under the
direct primary law This interpreta-
tion of the law, called forth by in
auiries from various quarters. was
adopted after the commission had
listened to the written opinion pre-
pared by Commissioner Thomas Y. Ca
tor and concurred in by Commissioner
Cameron H. King Jr.
The question submitted to the COM
mission was whether a candidate, in
the affidavit to be filed with his nomi-
nation papers must name as his par
ty'' the same political party mentioned
in his nomina ton papers. If that were
the intent of the law, a candidate
would be prevented from becoming the
candidate of more than one party.
OPINION WRITTEN BY GATOR
In his opinion Commissioner Gator
says in part:
The nomination paper requires the
signer to state that he is a member of
q given party, but it does not require
him to state that the candidate he
nominates is a member of any par
that the candidate should avow him.
self to be a member of the same party
as the signer of the nomination affi-
davit, ii could have oeen easily stated
in plain terms. In the absence of any
such provision the candidate is at lib
erty under the words his party to
specify any party with which he affili-
ates in the manner required by his
affidavit
Political parties have always hither-
to enjoyed the right to nominate q
candidate regardless of whether he was
a member of the party nominating him
or not. Those choosing the nominee
are the sole judges of whether he suf-
ficiently represents their views, or their
idea of proper candidate. II they
desire his aff1davit that he is a mem
Der of their particular political party,
they are at liberty to demand and Sc
cure it before they sign papers to
nominate the candidate"
DECISION GOVERNS REGISTRAR
The registrar of voters In his accept
ance of nomination papers will be
governed by the decision reached by
the election commission yesterday.
Edward r. Moran appeared before
the election commission and presented
arguments to show that the right of
the union labor party to place on the
ballot should be estimated on the basis
of the highest vote cast for a union
Ia Dor candidate at the last general cleo
tion.
A written decision on this point.
which will also affect the standing of
the good government league, will be
rendered to the commission by Com
missioner Gator and will be acted upon
at the next meeting.

quiry was and suggested that Schmitz
own counsel was numbered among Call
houn's attorneys. The statement did
not seem TO please Barrett. who
started to rise and was quietly urged
to sit down by other members of Cali
houn's staff.
Gallagher was taken by Moore over
the entire period following the first
confession OF the supervisors. and the
subject Of immunity was made much of.
Moore also dwelt at length on the
conversations had between Gallagher
and Ruef concerning the payment of
bribe prior to the passage of the
trolley franchise ordinance, and by
the introduction of numerous records
OF Gala agher's testimony in other cases
attempted to impeach his credibility as
ground gone over on direct eXamina-
ton and took up several new subjects
of inquiry. He referred to the Park
side bribery case and the witness said
he had never received the bribe offered
for the passage of that franchise.
DO you still have any expectation of
getting it?' asked Moore.
No. sir.
You regard it as a bad debt, do
you?"
L regard it as bad proposition, :
answered the witness.
DEPOSIT BOX AS EVIDENCE
The famous safe deposit box in
which Gallagher declared he deposited
the currency paid to him for distribu-
tion among the supervisors in connec-
ton with the trolley bribery deal was
introduced as evidence The Identical
box was used in the Ruef trial in con-
nection with an attempt to show that
the money which Gallagher said he
had received could not be crowded into
a box of such size. and the same box
was used yesterday for supposedly the
same purpose. a wooden box specially
built TO size, was first exhibited by A.
A Moore. but he discarded this later in
favor of the tin box, which still re-
NAMED in possession Of the clerk of the
court.
When the wooden box was first
brought to light by Moore Heney asked
innocently if it was plush lined" The
reference 70 Schmitz' old Doodle recep-
tacle in his Fillmore street residence
was answered with an angry look from
Barrett, but with nothing more salts
flying.
Moore announced when the hour for
adjournment arrived yesterday after
noon that he was far from being fin
ished with the witness and a contin-
uance was taken until $50 o'clock this
morning for the completion of the cross
examination.

Anty Drudse's Advice to MIR. Newlywed.

Mr. Nectv0ed-s'Yes we've got fine little dove cote.
But it's one of those swell apartment houses and they
don't allow any washing done Won't stand for the
smell and muss " q
Artu Drudqe-sPoor boy, you must be nearly bankrupt
with big laundry bills. But get your wife some
Fels-Naptha soap and she fool the janitor Won't
need boiling water. Just it cool or lukewarm-
Rub the clothes lightly and they'll be like snow
s'If | only had some place to boil them
I'd wash lots of my light clothes myself
the laundry wears them out so fast, said
a young woman who lives in two rooms.
Then she heard about Fels-Naptha.
Now she is washing those things her
self, without hot water, and doing 1t far
better than if she boiled them.
She has found out that Fels-Naptha
cleanses things more thoroughly in cool or
lukewarm water, in little time, than if they
were boiled till Doomsday.
If you live In a room, apartments or
occupy whole house, take chapter out
of this young woman's experience.
Boiling is unnecessary when you use
Fels-Naptha, either in winter or summer.
All that's needed is cool or lukewarm
water, and even bowl or basin will do for
few things.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.
