ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. !!

THE registration and the canvas
made SO far in the Congressional cam
paign in Maryland indicate that the
democrats are sure Of electing J. Harry
Covington, OF Talbot county, in the
First district; Fred Talbot, in the
Second; State Senator S. Charles Lin
thicum, in the Fourth, and probably,
George KONG, in the Third district.
State Senator German also is very
anxious to elect the democrat in the
Fifth district, ]. Enos Ray, jr., and
il any democrat in southern Maryland
can carry Mudd's old district Ray is
the man to do it. Senator German s
harmony dinner last Wednesday, at
which he brought together not only
all the democratic leaders Of different
views in the Fifth district, but also
representatives OF factions from else
where, had good effect. 1t termlna-
ted in a love feast at Which the friends
OF Charles H. Stanley and J. Enos
Ray, who bitterly opposed each other
in the congressional primaries, clasped
hands and pledged to work together
to redeem the Fifth. Even Governor

party managers of late by his police
investigations and other doings not in
line with the organization, came to
the feast and, placing his hand upon
Young Germans shoulder, assured

ipee. He declared it would be a happy
day for Maryland when that district

lie said he believed it would be accom-
plished this time. The dinner was
clever political stroke on Mr.. German
part and showed that he possesses the
tact and diplomacy his late father had
in handling men and managing a cam
paign.

THE SECOND DISTRICT CONVEN-
TlON.

At the conclusion of the 442d ballot,
with no nomination in sight. the Second
district democratic convention in ses-
sion in Suffolk, took another recess at
midnight until 10 O'Clock this morning
While the balloting was proceeding
perfunctorily, without any changes in
the voting, the democratic district COM
mittee, which had been charged by the
state central committee with the task of
providing means for the selection OF a
nominee, held two meetings. 1t was
declared to he the unanimous opinion
Of the committee that the convention
was not carrying out the rules OF the
committee, which provided the new pri-
mary convention" plan OF nomination,
in that the committee never contem-
plated the adoption of convention rules
by which no candidate could ever be
nominated, as the result Of a deadlock.
The district committee called into con-
ference the floor leaders of Holland,
Young, Maynard and Deal, suggesting
that the rules OF the convention be so
changed as to bring about a nomina-
ton in the end. The committees idea
was to 60 before the convention, if nee
essary, with statement and explana-
ton.
The floor leaders said that any state
ment by the committee would be re-
garded as undue interference, and
would not be accepted. The committee
then withdrew suggestions.
The only change in the situation
came last night when the SO Young
votes were cast solidly for Deal, which
added to his votes, gave him 70. The
other men had the same number as
they have retained since the beginning
of the balloting-Holand so and May

WHO IS F|REBUG 2
POSSIBLE THAT MAN SUSPECTED
OF WATTS BURGLARY MAY
KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT
ORIGIN OF SUNDAY MORNINGS
BARN BLAZE-HE HAD A
ROUGH-HANDLED KNIFE.

County Detective Spencer believes
he knows who broke into the store
of Graham Watts one night last week
and got $25 worth of revolvers and
pocketknives The burglars, who
went up ladder to the second story
windows and down into the main
part of the store, helped themselves
to seven or eight revolyers, a dozen
rough-handle knives and 40 cents in
change.
The back door on the first floor is
not only tightly bolted but there is
an iron screen that makes it i'm
possible to break the glass, reach
through and slip the bolt. The lad
der used belongs TO Mr.. Watts. 1t
was lying right back of the store
and was easily secured.
Early in the week rough-handled
knives were circulating to some ex-
tent in Honesdale. The guns were
under cover somewhere. One of the
knives was shown in a Honesdale
hotel by a young fellow whose rep
utation for straight behavior is moth
ing extra and the county detective
was put wise. A peculiar feature of
the case is the fact that a rough
handled knife like the knives pinch
ed from Mr.. Watts was in the pocket
of another officer, who was seen to
use it to open some clans Saturday
night.
The man suspected was sharply
interrogated by Detective Spencer
Wednesday, just before that officer
went to Hawley to get Chauncey
Tyler for the Erie car robbery at
Hawley. The young fellow told
poor story as to how he got the
knife and also as to his where
abouts Sunday morning, when Martin
Z. Galvin's barn went up in smoke
and three horses were burned.
Detective Spencer has thought all
along that the barn fire was of in
cendiary origin. An arrest is ex-
pected shortly. The fellow suspected
has been in the tolls of the Law be-
fore. He is young and able-bodied,
but seldom works. One or two
other men are being shadowed.

J|LTEO, He SUES
WANTS $4,000 FOR
WOUNDED HEART - CLAIMS
PROMISE OF MARRIAGE
YOUNG MAN CLAIMS HELEN
W. SMITH REFUSED TO KEEP

New York, July 21.-Russell Girls
void of New York and ROwayton,
Conn, has filed suit in the New York
supreme court, pleading for $4,000
cash cure for his wounded young heart
from wealthy Helen Woodruff Smith
of Stamford, Conn. who is many years
his senior.
She was formerly the wife of Homer
Cummings, twice mayor of Stamford
and Democratic politician of national
prominence. She is the daughter of
the late James ID. Smith, who was
president of the New York Stock Ex-
change, commodore of the New York
Yacht club and head of the banking
firm of James ID. Smith & Co. of No.
76 Broadway. Dying, her father be-
queathed to her the major share of
SL,5OO,OO0.
Griswold, who alleges that their ro-
nance began nine years ago, when he
was president of the senior class of
the Stamford High school and in his
golden haired, blue eye, rosy. un-
sophisticated boyhood, claims social
prominence for himself also. He is
the nephew of Henry Bell, president
of the First National bank of Stam-
ford; cousin of Mrs. Charles Stout Of
New York, who was Miss Genevieve
Hecker, the national woman golf
champion of 1902 and 1903, and a
grandson of wealthy Andrew j. Bell,
who when he died a few years ago
left young Griswold's mother large
portion of his 100000 estate.
Griswold says he first met Mrs.
Smith when she was the socially IA
nous Mrs. Cummings. He was eight
cen years old. After her divorce from
| eX-MayOr Cummings in October, 1907,
he says he was emboldened to ask
| her hand in marriage. To this, he al
| leges, she made answer that thrilled
| him with delight. 1t was "Yes."
Miss Smith in her answer denies all
the allegations that he makes, but
! GriswOld says that he has in his pos
session fully 200 letters to help con
vince a jury that the wealthy society
woman exercised with undeniable
grace and fascination her lure Ovel
him in boyhood, youth and young man
hood, that she called him in these let
ters her "Siegfried" and herself hi'
"Brunhilde," and that she promised t
low him always and unto ashes"

GER
Better let her all out, my boy"
said the big Erie man, who is a
fatherly sort of a parsonage and has
pretty fair sort of a heart inside
of him, despite his rough looks and
rough job. It'll do you good to
tell it."
Tyler gave the names of the five
that were with him on the Friday
night before the Fourth, but he
stuck to it that he didn't break the
seal to get the cases and the barrel
out of the car. He told Spencer and
Kelly who did do it.
Il was there" he'admitted, but
didn't break the seal"
He was told that one of the sus-
poets had accused him of being the
man who opened the car in the first
place, but Tyler stuck stoutly to that
part of his denial.
Il believe the boys telling the
truth about it," said Long" Kelly.
There's somebody trying to make
this lad the goat and put the whole
job on him"
Tyler is of slight build. He won't
weigh more than 1876 or 140. He
lives just over the Paupack, which
divides Wayne county from Pike
| his home being close by No.

works at odd jobs about Hawley and
White Mills. He has occasionally
had employment as a laborer in
J Honesdale, but he says he has nc
folks in the borough and he does not
know that he is any relation to the
Tylers of Tyler Hill.
Spencer and Kelly finished theil

back to Honesdale. He went dowI
