campment will be one of the best since
the Grand Army was organized.
Delegations of veterans and their
families were met at the stations by
bands and escorted to their headquar-
ters. Information booths were open
ed and everything possible was done
to insure the comfort of the veterans.

old soldiers Sunday was given over
largely to religious services. In the
morning the pricipal services were
held at the Savoy theater on the board
walk; in the afternoon at the Young
Mems Christian association and in the

Nomination Of N. J. Demo
Gratis.

Trenton, N. ]. - The New Jersey
Democratic state convention nominal
ed DR.. Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton university, for the once or
governor of the state.
DR.. Wilson's nomination was
brought about largely through the in
fiuence of former u. S. Senator James
Smith, Jr., OF Essex county, who is
u~ndisputed leader OF the state, and
Robert Davis, leader of the Hudson
Democracy, who for the first time in
years, acted In harmony with Senator
Smith. Besides this support, Mr.. Will
son had with him a number of inder
pendent Democrats who believed that
because OF his standing as an educator
he would make an unusually strong
candidate. DR.. Wilson was nominated
on the first ballot.
The platform adopted was in lima
with the Democratic platform of three
years ago, except that it was more
specific in advocacy of reform meas,
ures, including the comforting of ratei
making power upon the present pub
lie utilities commission.
DR.. Wilson after his nomination,
came before the convention, accepted
the nomination and made an address.
Three Vital Issues.
After discussing the platform DR..
Wilson said:
There are three great questions be-
fore the people-reorganizaticn and
economy in administration, equaliza-
ton of taxation and the control of COR
porations.
"Other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the ques-
ton of corrupt practices in elections.
and the questions of conservation.

not be necessarily complicated and

PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION OF
THE COMBINATION SOON
WILL BE FILED.
in N. Y. FEDERAL COURT
Move Decided at Conference Be.
tween United States Attorney
General and Prosecutor
Wise.

Washington, d. C. - A petition
for the dissolution of the American
Sugar Refining Company has been
completed by government officials. 1t
was learned that the present inten-
ton of the department of justice is
to file the suit in New York some
time next week.
The action will be entirely indie
pendent of the criminal proceedings
which have attracted such wide atten-
ton and resulted in several civil ac-
tons. Although the plans of Attorney
General Wickersham have been known
here for some time, subordinate of,
ficials of the department declined to
discuss the case until they learned of
the conference yesterday between At
torney General Wickersham and
limited States District Attorney Wise
N New York.
More Sweeping Than Oil Suit.
While the suit is said to be similar
to proceedings brought against the
Standard Oil Company and the Ameri,
can Tobacco Company, both of which
are pending in the supreme court, the
petition is said to be more sweeping
than either of those and to present is
sues already passed upon by the SUI
preme court.
For some time there has been in of.
fetal circles a tacit understanding
that no more actions for the dissolu-
ton Of big corporations would he be-
gun until after disposition of the oil
and tobacco cases. The change of
program is said to have resulted from
information gained by the govern
ment during the Investigation of the
customs frauds in New York, which
supplied the attorney generals Office
with the material necessary for a
prosecution of the American Sugar
Refining Company.

Benefit in Outdoor schools.

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, DR.. Henry Far
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
such institutions for all delicate, So
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones, who are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty to forty per cent of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. By the use Of tu-
culin, it was ascertained that 79 per
cent. Of the children from tuberculous
homes were infected as against only 26
per cent. of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
so per cent. of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease. but that only 13 per cent. Of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

Among the primary pupils enrolled

corners, until / felt some of Liddy's
foolishness communicate itself to me-
The house was very long, a rectan-
gle in general form, with the main en-
trance in the center of the long side.
The brick-paved entry opened into a
short hall. to the right of which. sepa-
rated only by row of pillars, was a
huge living room. Beyond that was
the drawing room, and in the end the
billiard room. Of the billiard room.
in the extreme right wing, was a den,
or cardroom, with a small hall open
ing on the east veranda, and from
there went up narrow circular stair
case.
Liddy and l got as far as the card
room and turned on all the lights l
tried the small entry door there,
which opened on the veranda, and ex-
amined the windows. Everything was
secure, and Liddy, little less ner-
vous now, had just pointed out to me
the disgraceful dusty condition of the
hardwood floor, when suddenly the
lights went out We waited a mo-
ment; think Liddy was stunned with
fright or she would have screamed.
And then l clutched her by the arm
and pointed to one of the windows
opening on the porch. The sudden
change threw the window into relief,
an oblong of grayish light, and showed
us figure standing close, peering in.
As looked it darted across the yer
anda and out of sight in the darkness.
