JOSEPH P. GRAY IS DEAD OF
 LOCKJAW
Slight Wound on Knee Re
 suits In Tetanus
ATTENDED MASS SUNDAY

Joseph F. Gray brother of Marshall B. Gray of the>firm of Gray & Light well known soda dispensers, died this morning about 2:30 o'clock at the home of his brother-in-law' Owen Light 257 Black Rock avenue after an illness iof less than two days with Iockjaw The causes surrounding his untimely death are very peculiar. Two weeks ago while at work he received a cut on the right knee The wound was thought no more than ordinary and was let heal of its own accord. Last Sunday morning the deceased walked in from Brooklawn to attend mass at St. Augustfne's church. After mass he went to the home of his sister, Mrs Light, for the day. He complained of a peculiar sensation of the face and neck. It was thought he had cold and was put to bed with a mustard application around his neck. He par took of a slight lunch before going to bed.
 Yesterday morning it was noticed that his face! had become almost rigid and Drs. Henry B1odget and F. l.. Day were summoned. The physicians suffering with lock jaw and admins tered anti-toxin. They gave out no hope for his recovery and advised his relatives to send for a priest.
 Yesterday morning the last rites of the church were administered to the dying man. The deceased is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Owen Light and and four brothers, Marshall and Will liam of this city, and James and John sof the firm of Gray Bros. bottlers of Stamford and New Canaan.

DANES ARE STILL
 LOYAL TO COOK
Any Suggestion Regarding Data Meets With Ap-
 proval
OF ROYAL UNIVERSITY

Copenhagen. Oct. 5.-Any suggestion that Dr. Frederick A. Cook may make for scientific Investigation of the data of his North Pole discovery is likely to meet with the full approval of the Royal University of Copen- hagen.
 The authorities of the university, in- cluding Rector Torp. were interviewed to-day regarding pr. Cooks latest of fer to submit bis evidence simultane- ously to the Danish university and the AmerG Gcan Geographical Society, pro- vided the latter does not give out it's result ahead of the Danish decision. They indicated their willingness to spare the priority of their investiga- tion with the American society but would make no definite statement for fear of embarrassing the American explorer.
 The Danes are still unanimously Ioy- al to Dr. Cook and are as firmly con- vinced of the correctness of his claims as on the day when the Royal Univer- sity awarded him a gold medal. There is no question but the Royal Univer- sity would like to be the first to bounce officially upon his evidence but if he desires the American Geographical Society to act simultaneously with it. the Danish university will willingly agree.

Especial from United Press.)


 Chicago, Oct. 1.-The United States circuit Court of Appeals, Judges Hroscup, Baker and Humphrey sit ling, to-day. affirmed the decision of Inc lower court in the case of John R. Walsh, the aged millionaire bank IT convicted of wrecking three Chica- go banks. This decision means that Walsil's motion for a new trial is de- aied Unless the Supreme Court Of he United States reverses the appel late court, Walsh will have to serve i've years in the Federal prison at Eeavenworth, Kansas.
 The decision handed down to-day by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals marks another step in Walsh's s long fight against his foes, which in dudes many powerful fnanciers.
 An aggregate penalty of $40 years In the Federal prison at Fort Leav- enworth was possible under the ver- Hict of the jury which was acted upon to-day. Walsh has waged bitter hght since January IS, 1908, to avoid the prison term and his opponents the government lawyers headed by United states District Attorney Sims have been just as insistent in de- manding that he occupy one of the cells in Bankers Row" at eaven- worth.

FAINT CRIES FOR
 HELP ARE HEARD
Workmen~ F'rantically Try ing to Make Opening to
 Young Man Entombed.
HE MAY STARVE TO DEATH

Especial from United Sress.)
 Central Islip, l.. l., Oct. 5.-John Cof- fen, the young man who was entomb- ed Saturday night when quicksand, through which he was sinking well, caved in, is still believed to be alive, although covered with some eighty feet of earth Workmen who have been frantica1ly trying to make an opening to the unfortunate heard faint cries for help early to-day coming from a two-inch pipe which protrudes from the well shaft. They pounded on the pipe in response and then redoubled their efforts to sink a new shaft so that Coffen can be extricated. A well nigh hopeless task, however, as the nature of the soil makes progress slow. But two men can work in the excavation at once and the quicksand makes it necessary to timber every foot as they progress.
 In the hope of reaching the unfor- tunate with water and nourishment, an effort is to be made to send a small pipe through the debris and one has been ordered from New York. Sinking this pipe, however, will be ex- tremely dangerous inasmuch as 1t may shift the boards which are be- lieved to be holding the earth off Cof- fen. It will be tried, however, as un- less nourishment reaches him he will StarVe to death. t

AGAINST THE MACHINE
Ninth District Republican Delegates Explain Their Position.
Editor the Farmer, Sir:

f1QlIOT UHe SolT. /
 We note an article in your issue of last evening in regard to the political situation in the Ninth District which is slightly misleading and we ask the courtesy of setting matters straight. The ticket which contains our names must not be classed as an Anti-Lee ticket. It is an absolutely unpledged and independent ticket We have fixed upon no special men as candidates for any office. We are for the nomination of men who deserve and command the respect of all Republican voters. We are against the continuance in power of the machine which at present con- trols the Ninth district, in so far as the Republican party is concerned. We do not believe that that machine re- presents the sentiments of the district.
 The question which we present is to our minds, clear cut and decisive. Do the Republicans of the Ninth district want to continue the present machine in control of the district? We believe not and we shall go before them ask ing that, by their votes, they will tell us whether we are wrong or right.
