WOMEN CAUSE OF
POLITICAL MIDDLE
Wives Put Vetoes On Plans Of
Three Mayoralty Possibili-
ties in New Haven.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 2S.-The
wives of three prominent men OF this
city will play a prominent part in the
coming city election, and If the republi-
cans lose they can attribute their de-
feat to Mrs. RoIlin S. Woodruff, wife OF
the former governor of the state; Mrs.
ELI Whitney and Mrs. A. Mcclellan
MatheWson, whose husbands were prac-
,tically decided upon to carry the re-
publican standard on October 4.
When the party began the consider
alton of candidates for mayor the first
choice was Mr.. Woodruff. He was will
ing for a time, but changed his mind,
saying hat his business demanded his
entire attention. That was not the
cause, however. 1t was Mrs. Woodruff
who vetoed the project.
The second choice was Eli Whitney.
and Mr.. Whitney was not averse to
give his services 10 the city as its chief
magistrate.
But just when things were centering
upon him Mrs. Whitney, who does not
care to see her husband burdened with
the responsibility of public office, inter-
vened. Another veto and Mr.. Whitney
was out.
The third possibility was Judge
Mathewson, who was willing to head
the call Of his party, but Mrs. Mathew
son didn't agree. Still another veto and
the Judge did not attempt to override
the adverse decision of his wife. He
stepped off the stage and now the party
is at a loss to know who to nominate,
with the convention only -four days off.

MONK GREAT POWER
IN RUSSIAN AFFAIRS;
FAVORITE OF Gar
He Decides Important Matters
Of Foreign and Domestic
Politics.

London, Sept. 28.-There has been
much talk throughout Europe of the
cars new favorite monk, who is
named Theophile, and who. in view of
his power over the car, Is said to have
become the most influential man in
Russia, deciding the most important
affairs in domestic and foreign politics.
Theophile, who favors the extreme
reactionary party, was introduced to
the cza about six months ago by Grand
Duke Peter Nicholaivitch. He immedi-
ately gained the sympathies Of h car
and instructed him in various mystical
matters, by which, as is well known,
his majesty is easily influenced.
After a short time Theophile, in
stead Of visiting only when specially
summoned, obtained the right Of access
to the imperial person at all times, q
privilege hitherto confined to h i'm
perial family and cabinet ministers. The
latter soon traced various imperial de-
crees to his direct influence.
An example of Theophile's power Is
seen in the granting to Prince Obolen-
ski by the car of a pension Of SIS, 600
annually. When he was dismissed from
his post of chief of the imperial cabi-
net the car refused to grant him a
pension, disregarding the intercession
OF the dowager empress. Theophle's
support obtained, a pension was imme-
diately granted. The z a. will no at
tend any church ceremonial unless
Theophile accompanies him. In short,
the new favorite works his influence In
every direction.

COWNIE ELIGIBLE
TO Be CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Board of Control Law Does Not
Bar Him From Making Race
for CAROLS Place.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 2s.-Is Hon
John Cownie of the state board of cor
troll prohibited from becoming a candi-
date for governor under the law? This
is a question that Is being asked by
politicians who remember that the
board of control law says something
about a member not being eligible to
any office for a year after his term.
If there is any restriction against Mr..
iCownie becoming a candidate for gov
;ernor it Is probably in the primary
election law rather than in the board
OF control law, though there are law
yers who believe that ven the primary
election law does not bar him from be-
coming a candidate II he resigns his
office on the board Of control before the
last Of mex December.
The section in the board of control
law Is in about the middle of section
2727A2 of the supplement- OF the code,
and reads as follows:
mo member of the board of control
shall be eligible to any other lucrative
office in the state during his term Of
service or for one year thereafter, or to
any position in n state institution
during the term for which he was ap-
pointed, nor within one year after his
term shall have expired"
Will He Resign? "
II Mr.. Cownie was a candidate and
should DO nominated and elected gov
ernor he would enter on his duties the
first of January, 1911, which is more
than n year away. The term to
which MI. Cownie is appointed expires
April 6, 1910. Lawyers point out that
he could not accept a position in any
state institution till one year after
April 6, 1910, which is the term for
which he is appointed, but as to ac-
cepting any Office in the state the re-
striction is within one year after the
termination Of his service and his sery-
ice would end when he resigned and
his resignation took effect.
But there is a provision in the pri-
mary election law that says q candi-
date must make affidavit hat he 'is''
eligible to the Office to which he as
pires. Some lawyers construe this lit
orally n say at the time when under
the primary law he would have to
make the affidavit he would not be ELI
gible and hence could not make the
affidavit though he would be eligible
when the time arrived for him to step
into the governors chair. Other law
yers do not construe 1t so literally.
They say the intent" of the law would
be satisfied n hat Cownie could
easily and without question resign now
and be a candidate for governor.

Pittsbura, Sept. 29.-At least so per-
cons were more or less seriously m
iured and several are believed TO have
met death shortly before noon today,
when an explosion occurred in the Of
fees Of the Columbian Film exchange,
rooms 414 and AIS Ferguson building,
running from Third to Fourth avenues,
between Smithfield and Wood streets.
The walls Of the building, an eight
story structure, are bullying. while not
an office escaped damage. Windows
were blown out and partitions blown
down.
Several hundred iremen and police
men are searching the ruins for injured
and dead.
Cause Is Unknown,
The cause of the explosion Is not
known. In some manner the inflamma-
BILE films were ignited and the next mo-
ment a terrific explosion took place. The
.detonation could he heard for blocks.
Occupants OF adjoining office build
ings rushed to the scene and We're
Joined within a few minutes by firemen
and reserve squads from the various
police districts. Throughout the en-
tire building the c encountered
men, women boys and girls who were
either burned or injured by flying de-
bris. Every hispital in Greater Pitts
burg was notified and for In hour the
clang of ambulances excited pedestri-
ans in the down town streets.
John Miller, manager of the Colum-
bian Film company, was absent when
the explosion occurred. He was unable
to account for the disaster. Accord
ing to Miller there were seven per-
sons employed in the offices. None OF
them have been accounted for.
II am very positive" said Miller, that
the explosion was not attributable to
the films letting go, as there was nc
light in the office and without films
coming in contact with flame they
could not explode"
Shower Of Plate Glass.
Twenty-Five stenographers employed
in the office of a typewriter company
were injured when plate glass windows
were showered on them by the ex-
plosion. Many are in a serious con.
dition.
The explosion came without warning
In q moment tne entire building was

The occupants numbering many hun.

wildly for the exits. They became
