BENNETT JUMPED
 FROM ENGINE
Saw Light Ahead and Thought Collision Was
 to Occur

George Bennett, aged "A years, a fireman in the employ of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail road, jumped from his engine at West Cornwall this morning about o'clock and narrowly escaped death under the wheels of his train. He jumped while the train was going through cut and struck on a sharp stone, and fell. He began to bleed internally and was put on the 7:35 train to this city where he was placed in the ambulance and taken to the Emergency hospital. pr. Krause worked over him for a while and then took him to the Bridgeport hospital, where it is thought that a kidney had been injured. Bennett lives in Fairfield.
 Only a. few facts could be learned regarding the accident owing to Ben nett's refusal to tell. He refused on the grounds that he knew the company would rather have him say nothing about it. He did tell pr. Krause, however, that he jumped because he saw a light ahead which he thougH was the headlight of another engine.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR
 JOHN A. JOHNSON
tcontinued from First Page.o

Democratic candidate for yice-presi- dent, and was followed by Governor Higgins, of Rhode Island.
 Tn the meantime it had appeared that the leaders had decided that the nomination ought not to go an Eastern man, but to the great middle states, and had decided upon Kern of Indiana. Under these circumstances the name of MT. McNei1 at his insistence was withdrawn and upon the motion of the Connecticut delegation the nomination of Kern was made unanimous. Some 200 delegates were pledged to McNeil, and 1t is probable inasmuch as Towne. and Howell had withdrawn that his vote would have been larger. It was understood that if the roll call reach ed Nebraska, that MT. Bryan had re- uuested the delegates from Nebraska to divide their eight ballots equally between the man from Indiana and the man from Connecticut.
 The leaders of the Johnson forces in Connecticut were Dr. James A. Nc Manus and Harry May, of Hartford. These gentlemen were members of the Connecticut delegation and were in constant communication with the Johnson forces in Denver. It was they who arranged the understandable under which the Minnesota delegation voted for McNeil for vice president, and the Connecticut delegation yield- ed it's place on the roll call so that Minnesota could offer the name of Governor Johnson.

MUST
 REGISTER LIEN
 TO KEEP IT

Judge Scott in the Common Pleas court, civil side. has rendered a deci-
 sion in favor of the defendants in the suit brought by the American Hash Register Co.. against Lincoln Taylor, a constable in Stamford. Con- stable Taylor some time ago attach ed a certain grocery store in Stam- ford, taking among other things two cash regist CTS. These he disposed of to settle the claims of the creditors. The American Cash Register Co.,, then brought suit for replevfn against Taylor. claiming that the registers belonged to them. Judge Scott cites that the state provides that a condi- tional bill of sale must be recorded with the town clerk within a reason able time in order to preserve the ven- dors title as against an attaching creditor of the vendee. The plaintiff company failed in this. The court gave judgment for the defendant, who may keep the articles and to recover costs.

(Continued from First Page.)
 The soldiers formed a flying wedge about Dr. Cook, his wife and children, and literally fought their way to the hurricane deck of the vessel where pr. Cook held an informal reception, shak- ing hands cordially with every man, woman and child on the deck. Many fought their way to his side and kiss ed him. The crowd became so great that Mrs. Cooks veil was torn off, her hat knocked awry and she was almost pushed off her feet. Dr. Cook fared the same kind of treatment all the time the Grand Republic being surrounded by water craft of all descriptions as she proceeded up the bay, her siren shrieking a salute to every river craft. By the time the Grand Republic had entered the North River, Dr. Cook asked for moments silence and standing bareheaded on the hurricane deck of the boat, his voice drowned out completely every other %moment by the blast from some passing steam CT, he delivered the following short address: 3
 Ladies and Gentlemen: To the re- turning explorer there is nothing so welcome as the appreciation of his day is all the more welcome to me because it shows in spite of all the controversy you believe me.

 Dr. Cook and his wife and children and the immediate members of his family were then escorted to a private cabin in which they remained in se- clusior for the remainder Of the trip. Instead of going direct to Brooklyn. the Grand Republic proceeded up the river to 134th street. As the Grand Republic passed the three French bat t1e:1 ips anchored in the river the French sailors manned the rails and gave three lusty cheers for the exp1or- CT. The tri-color was dipped in sa-

NO SHAKEUP
 IS COMING! Horace Sheble, New Manager of Graphophone Company
 Outlines Future. Macdonald Will be Consult ing Engineer to Entire Plant as Well as Director
Report that Chief Executive Budlong Had Resigned
 His Position Is Denied

Horace Sheble, new general manager of the American Graphophone Com pany, who succeeds Thomas H. Mac donald in charge of the company's works in this city, denied this morn there was to be a general shakeup in the executive offices in this city. He also defined the duties of MT. Mac donald in the future. Rumor has had it that Herbert Bud1ong, the chief exc ,cutive, had resigned on last Saturday and his resignation had taken effect at once. Rufnor also stated that Irv- ing w. Reed, the chief accountant, had been assigned to MT. Budlong's posi- tion and was to conduct the two of- fees Further it was stated that Purchasing Agent Clifford R. Gardner had resigned, his resignation to take effect Oct. 1, and that John Ray, 2 member of the executive board, had been assigned to the position.
 General Manager Sheble when seen by Farmer reporter stated that there was absolutely no truth in the report, and that they are not contemplating changes in any of the officials Of the consern except that he would take up the reigns of management in place of MT. Macdonald. He said further that for many years the board of directors of the concern had lacked the counsel and advice of a. practical man and for that reason MT. Macdonald was elect ed to the directorate. Through his inventions MT. Macdonald has done more to further the art of the talking
 machine in the world than any other
 man, and the fact that his time was largely taken up in the experimental work necessary for the development
 of the machine that it was necessary that he should be relieved of the work of looking after the details of manu- fracture.
 The experimental department at the plant in this city will be enlarged and
 will be in full charge of Mir. Macdon- aid, who in the future will be the con sulting engineer for the entire plant Many new plans of operation are now contemplated and will be put in opera ton in the near future. MT. Sheble was formerly a member of the manu- featuring firm of Hawthorne 6 Sheblt of Philadelphia, makers of talking ma. chimes and parts of the machines fo1 the trade. The plant was one of the largest of it's kind in the country.

Powerful In Politics Johnson Was the Saviour of the Democratic Party in the Great Northwest.

When the time came to nominate Democratic candidate for Governor in 1904, the rank and file of the party in Minnesota was discouraged. The State was seemingly overwhelmingly Republican and Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican Presidential candidate, was at the zenith of his popularity Tn Minnesota The name of Johnson was suggested to the Democratic conven- tion as a good candidate for Governor, and the young editor was named to lead the forlorn hope.
 So we'll did he lead, that although the Republican National ticket swept the State, John A. Johnson was elected Governor by a substantial plurality. His administration, also,i was peculiar 1y successful, and he was reelected in 1906 and again last fall
 The personality of Johnson was an important element in his cussess. Tall and angular, his hands still showing the callouses caused by his early la bors, he was a mixer" in the better sense of the word and his offices have been always open to all classes of cit1- zens who, no matter what their de-
 sire, were always sure of a courteous hearing.
 Johnson's claims for the Democratic Presidential nomination were advanc- ed by Henry Watterson two years ago, but the time seemed hardly ripe and
 the leaders of the party in the nation failed to respond as well as the South ern editor desired. In fact, there is little doubt now that, had the Waiter son boom been followed up by the en- dorsement of Johnson by the Eastern Democrats as was hoped, William J Bryan would not have had the neces- sary two- thirds to nominate at Den | yer in July, 1908. But the Johnson movement was allowed Nto lag, with the result that he had but a few dele gates when the convention noninated Two years ago the University oi Pennsylvania conferred the degree o4 Doctor of Laws on Gov. Johnson.
 | The Governor was married on June l 1, 1894, to Eainor Preston, in St. Peter
