Worry About Dog Perhaps
 Caused Lefschitz's Death

Whether or not the death of Abra- ham Lefschitz, the blind worker of crayon portraits, of 28 Allen street, which occurred early yesterday morn ing at his home as a result of asphyx- iation by Illuminating gas, was sui eide is an open question. Med- ical Examiner F. B. Downs said this morning that he has made an exam ination, but had been unable to learn much of importance from the mem bers of the dead mans family. They secuted the theory of suicide and said that the gas in the room had nothing to do with his death. Dr. Kiernan of the emergency hospital, who was the first doctor called to at tend Lefschitz found his bedroom flll- ed with gas and from all appearances Lefschitz had died of suffocation.
 Some of the things which would tend to support the suicide theory are that Lefschitz was blind and sickly. For the past four years his health has been very poor and he had been more or less Respondent. Another thing which worried him was the trouble made by the police over his dog which he cared for to an unusual degree. The dog had snapped at and bitten several peo- pie who had complained to the police. Dog Agent Wagner investigated the complaints but owing to the nature of the case he was not hard on the old man and the dog was not killed. Lefschitz was 50 years of age.

WILL HOLD JOBS
President Taft Composes Diff ferences in Ballinger-
 Pinchot Scrap.
Special from United Press.)

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 13.-secretary Ballinger will not resign. Forester Pinchot will hold his job. The squab- ble between the Land and Forestry Bureaus of the government will be nicely srnoothed over and all will be lovely in administration ranks. This is the prediction made today by those in the Presidents confidence and they say that if any statement is made by MT. Taft before his departure from Beverly tomorrow afternoon, it will embody these facts.
 Mr., Taft has not gained the title of sThe Great HarmoniZer" for nothing. He loves peace more than he does bat tie and is Q. firm believer in the effi- cacy of soft words. He is convinced that an upheaval in the government departments could only result in dis aster to the party and in bitterness that would outlast his administration. He has, therefore, come to the conclu- sion that the best thing to be done in the Ballinger- -Pinchot scrap is to compose the differences between the iwarring elements.
 This, 1t is believed, he has accom- plished through his conferences with Secretary Ballinger and a voluminous correspondence carried on with NOres- ter Pinchot and others in his bureau. MT. Pinchot, it is understood, has sat- isfactorily explained his side of the story by mail and the word of mouth explanation of Ballinger has also met with the Presidents approval.
 If there has been any wrongdoing by any high government official. 1t has not been shown to the President, and if nothing culpable has been done, no one should be punished. Taking this view of the situation after his fatherly consultations with his official children, the President will start West tomor-. row with an easier mind than he has had for many weeks.
 No more visitors will be received by the President before he leaves on his trip. He spent most of the day in clearing up the papers on his desk and preparing the speech he is to de- liver at Boston tomorrow.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If a pinked ruffle on @ silk under skirt has begun to fray, trim it off carefully and add a band of ribbon of harnonizing color.
 linen, moisten with spirits of cam phor, and. when dry, wash as one would wash the article ordinarily.
 If the braid on a dress skirt has be- gun to fray, it may be made to do for some time by running the worn por- tion back and forth with thread.
 FIasks designed for the traveller may be had covered with raffia. They are similar to the wicker covered ones and are to be had in a variety of col ors.
 Vinegar is the best thing for re- moving hardened glue from furniture, as it will dissolve it instantly without injury to the surface of the furni- ture.
 To clean baby's pique shoes. try pressing. It will be found quite as satisfactory as giving them a bath of soap and water.
 If the hands are stained by berries, or from cleaning summer vegetables. rub them with ripe tomatoes before using soap or anything that will set the color.
 To fry green tomatoes, slice them, sprinkle with few drops of olive oil. dip in crumbs to which salt has been
  der.
 If furniture has grown dull and streaked, try rubbing it with a mix ture of equal parts of kerosene and turpentine. It is better than the pre- pared polishes.
 delicious conserve is made of equal parts of pineapples and peaches, with three-quarters of a pound of su- gar to a pound of the fruit. boiling all together.
 ed, can be very successfully dyed, deep blue being a good color. There is no more danger of shrinkage than from washing.
 Rhubarb will require less sugar to sweeten if a pinch of sugar is added is not peeled until the skin is tough.
 The ice box should always be kept as full of ice as it will hold, other wise there will be waste of ice and danger of the refrigerator getting too warm.
 A tiny bit of kerosene added to the water in which clothes are washed not only aids materially in ridding them of dirt, but assists in the whit ening process.
 A silkaleen cover for the parasol will save the silk of the sunshade wonder fully. Always slip the parasol into the bag when not in use and hang up in the closet.
 Colored cotton fabrics will not fade by subsequent washing if previously placed in boiling water to which has been added three gills of salt to every gallon of water. Let stand until cold.
 No vegetable left from dinner should go to waste A combination of almost any of the summer vegetables with the addition of a bit of salad dressing will make a, salad as nourishing as it is tasty

 "Rube'' Pollard was robbed of $50 by Outfelder Hart in the game Sat- ] urday. The Bull Durham Company offers that amount to any player who can hit the bull on a fairly hit fly ball. "Rube" took one of Fishers s slants for a drive which was sailing on it's way to the bull The drive was so hard that Hart backed up to the heifer which prevented him from falling. Some one in the bleachers told him to let the pill get by and to split with Pollard but the voice could not be heard way out in center field. Manager Hanna of the New Britain team is said to have thrown out the following in New Haven on Saturday: '"Falk about being bank burglar, D said he, tits neat, easy. soft and conservative job compared to running a nine composed of a lot of stiffs such as mine were this season. They cer- tainly threw it into me. Talk about the double-cross. got it good and proper"

 Bill Dineen, the former pitcher with the Boston Champions, and who on his own request was released a few days ago by the St. Louis Americans, has been appointed an umpire by Presi- dent Ban Johnson.
 Wheeling has won the pennant in the Central league, due much to the playing of Gus Soffell, the former Mer- iden short stop and captain who went to Pittsburg at the beginning of the season by purchase. Gus it is stat ed is due to report to the Pirates.
 Because Manager Hanna will not give him $250 of the purchase money, Outfelder Swat McCabe of the Per fectos is kicking against reporting with Cincinnatf> Transportation to Cincy has already been forwarded Swat if he does not report after transpor- tation has been forwarded he will be fined by the Reds.

Howard Gould. third SON Of the late
Jay Gould. by decision OF Justice
Bowling in the supreme court. With
the exception OF alimony. her victory
was complete, but In this phase of
the case the court decided that s36..
900 year was sufficient. although in
her suit Mrs. Gould asked for $3.50. 900.
She has been receiving $4,000 year
from Mr.. Gould. 90 that the amount
fixed by the court Is but slight IN
crease compared with the amount
sued for.
1t was In the vindication of charges
of intcxication and her alleged rela-
tions with Dustin Farnum, the ac-
tor, that Mrs. Gould scored most
strongly, for Notwithstanding the long
array OF witnesses for Mr.. Gould,
who gave such testimony as to make
Mrs. Gould appear as defendant rather
than plaintiff. the court held that the
alleged "intoxication" might have
been due to excitement. AS to Dustin
Farnum, 1t was held that her asso-
citation with him came after Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould separated and that the
husband apparently made no objeo-
ton.
Immediately after the decision De-
lancey Nicoll, for Mr.. Gould. asked for
a sixty-day stay Of Judgment. and
Clarence J. Shearn. for the plaintiff,
was on his feet to object. He asked
for an immediate Judgment. Justice
Bowling compromised by making the
stay thirty days Mr.. Shearn then
asked for an extra allowance for
counsel fees and the court gave him
$4,000. This. together with the &c.
600 allowed recently and the original
allowance of $4,000, will bring his
fees to $4,000. with an additional
sum of $4,000 for expenses.
