the nomination of William r. Hearst
for the goyernorship by the Independ
ence league and the Democratic party
the nomination of Mr. Hughes was
urged as the only chance of Repub
lfcan victory in the state. MFR. Hughes
accepted the nomination and was elect
ed.
After his election Governor Hughes
made a state issue of the question OF
race track gambling and secured the
passage of laws prohibiting it. He also
obtained a law creating the public
service commissions. He was re-elect
ed In 1908 after campaign In which
he was opposed by Lieutenant Cover
nor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. The
principal reform advocated by Gov
ernor Hughes during his second term
was the system OF direct nominations.
And now as to Hughes the man and
his early career. The governor in ap.
pearance Is not robust. He is about
FIVE feet ten inches in height, with Il
slight but well proportioned figure
His forehead which IS high and rather
narrow, indicates intellectually in a
high degree. His blue eyes are wide
apart and deep set. He has trick OF
allowing the lids to drop until they
half cover the eyeball, which gives
him an expression Of anything but
alertness. At the same time he devi-
taiizes his features In the same man
nor adopted by a poker player who
wishes to hide his emotions. His
mouth Is large, and his lips are full.
aud behind them are large, regular
white teeth shaded by a heavy mus.
tache and short, thick beard.
Mr. Hughes graduated from Brown
university in 1881 and, inclined to en-
ter the field of education. made many
applications for the position of teacher
in various institutions of learning.
For year he taught Greek and math-
ematics at the Delaware academy In
Delhi, n. Y, and then In 1882 went to
New York and entered the Columbia
Law school. from which he was grad
uated In June, 1884. and was admit
ted to the bar that same year. He
taught Law at Cornell university from
1891 to 1853 and then began to prac-
tice law III New York city. He was
senior member of the firm of Hughes,
Rounds & Schurman when he first ran
for governor.
In his first campaign Mr.. Hughes
was only a moderately good speaker.
Now he is regarded as one of the
sblest. most effective speakers In pub
lie life. His one hobby is the law.
He can get endless amusement out OF
wrestling with intricate legal prob
lens. Those who know him Intimate
~ say he is one OF the soundest law,
ysrs in the country.

Although the wind was screaming
through the rigging and the great seas
that rushed past them were fecked

loath to run for shelter. This combi-

suited his mood admirably.
AS far as he was concerned person

OF riding It out or sinking, 1t mattered
but little one way or the other to him.
Still, he had no right to sacrifice the
sailing master and the men because a

then she had tossed him aside calmly

He chewed his mustache nervously

He ought to hate her. yet In his in
most heart he knew that even now he
loved her with all the intensity of his
nature.

with twinkling lights that shone cheer

Ferrol still stood by the rail- smok-

He would send her a message. he
would not let her know how deeply he

that he understood now the whole i'm

CANCER CURE.
From Experiments, it is Hoped Means
Have Been Found for Such a Cure.

Albany, n. "a strong hope Of
curing cancer, or at least greatly am.
eliorating the suffering of cancer pa
tients by means of innoculation, is
held out in the report of Harvey G..
Gaylord, director of the cancer labor
atory of the State Department Of
Health at Buffalo.
This hope is based on extended ex-
perimentation in the last year on the
inoculation of various animals, main
l. rats, with the cancer virus.
"It appears" says the report that
where the resistance of the animal Is
not sufficiently awakened by one in
oculation of the tumor, this resistance
can be heightened by repeated doses
and in a considerable proportion OF
cases. immunity can be raised to a
point that will bring about a cure.
1T is needless to point out that this
process of repeated vaccination, which
has cured in the proportion of 20 to
40 in rats, might well be applied 10
those cases of late cancer in human
beings in which surgery has nothing
to offer and the outlook is hopeless
"As we strongly urged the legisla-
ture in previous reports, the time has
come when we should begin expert
mentation with human beings.
''To do so it is necessary that a
number of patients should be main
tanned for this purpose. Funds sur
ficient to enable US to maintain IL
patients is the least amount that car
be of value if this work is to be un'
dertaken."
Other Investigations conducted by
the laboratory have hao - do with
the prevalence of many forms of can
Ger in fish and the possibility OF IN
lection by human beings. 1t has been
found that cancer of the thyroid is OF
frenuent occurrence in fish Of the
trout family >,
"It is a remarkable coincidence
saws the report, that the area OF the
limited States which includes the
great concentration of human can
GER cases is almost identical with the
area through which the various men,
hers Of the trout family are distribut-
ed"
statistics are given to show tha'
cancer continues to increase. The re-
port says that in the United States II
has increased from per 100000 pop
ulation in 1850, to 4S in 1890 an aV-
erage of about 60 in 1901 and an av-
erage of more than 70 in 1906.

MILLIONS" PLAY
FULL or HUMOR AND PATHOS

"Brewster's Millions" a stage ver-
sion OF George Barr McCutcheon's in
teresting novel Of that name, will be
presented here Monday, February 2S.
at the Oregon theater, by the Conan
and Harris comedians. The dramati-
zation was made by Winchell Smith
and Byron Ongley and has met with
the most emphatic success. 1t is now
being played by two companies in
America, two in England and one on
the continent. 1t will be presented
here with all the striking stage effects
invented and conceived by Frederick
Thomson, master mind in this par
ticular direction. The story has
great deal of ingenuity and the side
lights of humor and pathos which the
author throws upon it emphasizes its
human interest.
While departing in detail now and
then from the written story. the
adapters have kept to the main theme
and preserved most of the incidents
Of the book. Related briefly. the
story recounts the efforts of Mont
gomery Brewster to spend in one
year MS inheritance VI d ulliiioh uOi-
lars. in order that under the whimsi-
cal will of an uncle he may come into
a bequest of seven millions.
The conditions of this will stipulate
that the original million must not be
dlssipated in reckless gambling, in
discriminate endowments or the erec-
ton of memorials and that absolute
secrecy as to the whole affair De
maintained. How Monty" Brewster
manages to work off his million un-

PERSECUTION
OF JEWS BEING CONTINUED

New York-Informatio just re-
ceived here from Odessa by the Am
erican Jewish committee shows that
the relentless persecution of the Jews
of that city at the instigation of Gov
crnor Tolmatcheff is unabated. His
latest move is against the Jewish hos
p.tal of that city. the best and larg-
est institution of its kind in southern
Russia. Its income is about 100000
rubles from the Jewish moat tax and
private donations. All of its bu ldings
were erected with money given by
Jews For so years past it has been
conducted by Jewish board Of di-
rectors and Jewish physicians.
Recently Tolmatcheff, without any
warning. has prepared new articles of
Incorporation. which have been rati-
fled by the cabinet minister and are
now being put into effect. Though
this is strictly a Jewish hospital, the
new articles of Incorporation require
that there shall be two Christians on
the board of directors-one to be ap-
pointed by the governor of the city
and one by the city council. The gov
ernor has appointed one Skuridin,
well known as an opponent of the
Jews, and the city council has. ap-
pointed Helliakan, one of the arch
anti-Semites of Russia and the defacto
leader of the Black Hundreds in
Odessa.
In addition, the appointment of the
hospital physicians has been taken
out of the hands of the board of di-
rectors and put into those Of the gov
ernor who is expected to appoint
Christians. The Jews of Odessa, who
have suffered much at the hands Of
Tolmatcheff, are in despair now that
their splendid Jewish hospital has fall
len into the hands Of their enemies
and detractors.
