BITTER FIGHT
IN TENNESSEE.
DEMOCRATS AND iNSURoENT
DEMOCRATS AND REPUB-

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 3.-What has
probably been the bitterest campaign
In the history of Tennessee closed
today. Democrats and insurgent
Democrats and Republicans have fin
ished the preliminary skirmishng and
are awaiting with intense anxiety tn,
result OF the battle at the polls to-
morrow, when the state judiciary and
county elections are to be held. The
campaign has been of truly whirl-
wind character. Never before has
there been so many speakers on the
stump. Families have become divided
over the issues involved i'm the con-
test and oven dissensions I'm churches
have been caused.
Judges of the state supreme court
and the court of civil appeals are to
be chosen at ,tomorrows election.
The incumbents of these benches are
seeking reelection, being badly split.
Some have aligned themselves with
the administration forces, of which
Governor Patterson is the control
ling factor, while others are supported
by the insurgent Democracy of the
state
Three of the supreme court jus-
tices declined to enter into the Demo-
cratic primary alleging that Cover
nor Patterson and his administration
were attempting to coerce the judic-
iary. Their partisans called con-
ventiOn and these three were nomi-
mated, with two others. The re-
naming two justices entered into the
primary and lined up with the ad-
ministration party, thus securing re-
nomination. Three opposition candi-
dates were named To run against the
three so-called boiling Justices. The
same state of affairs exists i'm the
contest for the judgeshlps of the court
of civil appeals. The Republicans de-
clined To name judiciary ticket and
that party is now divided in it's sup

Company I returned from rifle practice
at the state range in Mortified Wednes-
day afternoon, arriving in Brattleboro
about 6 o'clock. The results OF the prac-
tice were very satisfactory. Gwenty-four
men qualified as marksmen and four as
sharpshooters out OF 81 shooting. The
men had had no practice since last year,
the company having no range at home.
Many of the recruits since last year never
had fred. Private II. w. BusbY was
high man with a total of 253 making 50
on the skirmish. He never had shot the
course. \ score of 80 in this course is
considered good for an experienced rife
shot. Musician c. w. Ellis stood second
with PAS and Sergeant G. e. Thayer was
third with pa. Sergent Thayer made As
out Of a possible so at 200 yards, rapid fire.
This part of the sharpshooters course Is
fired with bayonets fixed and battle sights
giving an eleva ton OF $50 Yards At
given signal the targets rise. the man
kneels. fires five shots in 20 seconds, the
targets disappearing after that period.
The time assigned to each company on
the range, two and a half days. is far
too short for the amount of shooting that
has to be done Sergeant Thayer and
Private Smith. who are attending sum-
mer school at Norwich university quail
fed in June at the state range as expert
rihemen. and this will help in determn-
ing the company's figure of merit.

a serious illness two years ago, but began
to fail last October, and at that time her
son. Sewall, who had been in Springfield

She rallied, however, and had since been
able to be about the house. In the last
three days she failed rapidly and the end
came quietly and peacefully. Mrs Morse
was born in Brandon, N. Y. July IL, 1880,

tractor and builder, a pioneer ODD Eel

lodge, died May 2, 1881. Mrs. Morse Is
survived by her only son, Sewall Morse
and a sister, Mrs. N w. Dunklee, both
of Brattleboro niece Mrs. Eta Nc
gveny of Bangor. N. Y, was with her
during her last illness. Mrs. Morse was
the last charter member of Dennis Re
bekah lodge and was for many years a
! member of the Universalist church. She
was a woman of domestic tastes, devoted
to her home and her family, and pos
sessing qualities of mind and heart which
| endeared her to all who knew her init
| mately. The funeral will be held in the
| home Sunday afternoon at l o'clock. Rev
| d. F. Trout of the Universalist church
| will officiate and the Rebekahs will con-
duct their committaS service at the bura

The earber-whlte Damage Case Settled.


A jury was impaneled in the United
states court al Newfane Wednesday in
the case of Luther II. Barber of Brattle-
boro against James H, White of Meri-
den, Conn, but a private settlement pre-
vented the case coming to trial. The suit
was brought to recover $40, 900 damages
for injuries received in May, 1908. Mr..
Barber who was a dealer in musical
goods manufactured by the Wilcox &
White company, of which Mr. White is
member went to Meriden with the late
Ira Burnett and after making some pur
chases he and Mr.. Burnett went to ride
with Mr.. White in the latter's automo-
bile by invitation of the owner. An ac-
Cident happened in which Mr.. Burnett
received fatal injuries and Mr.. Barber
was hurt seriously. Mr.. White did ev-
erything possible for the injured men,
sparing no expense, In his suit Mr..
Barber alleged that the chauffeur was
incompetent and that the accident was
due to his negligence in allowing the ma
chine to get out of repair, for which Mr.,
White would be held responsible. A
friendly and cordial feeling existed and
still exists between Mr.. Barber and Mr..
White. and the bringing of the suit &C.
casioned some surprise. In justice to
Mr.. Barber, however, 1t should be stated
that while the suit was bona fide it
never would have been brought had not

TAFT TO FORCE
LAWS III PLEDGED
PRESIDENT C0NFERS WITH
BOTH HOUSES ON RETURN
SAYS 4 BILLS AT LEAST MUST
GO THROUGH
In Addition to Measures Demanded,
the Chief Executive Urges Other
Matters of Legislation.
Heeds Party Promises
ASSOCIATED Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Following
his return from a two days trip 10
New York and Newark, n. j., today
President Taft had several conferences
with members of the two houses OF
congress regarding the legislative pro-
gram.
Recently it was stated that he would
press only four measures at this ses-
sion of congress, and the printed list
omitted all reference to the conserVa-
tion bills, whereas the president mas
repeatedly pointed out that he would
insist as far as he could that at least
some of the conservation measures be
made laws before the present session
adjourned.
The bills which the president de-
clared today that he looked for con-
eress to pass in redemption of party
pledges are: Establishing postal saw
ings banks, amending and strengthen
ing the interstate commerce law.
The conservation measures giving
the president the right to withdraw
public lands from entry and to con-
tinue the withdrawal until revoked by
himself or by an act of congress and
providing for a Reconstruction Oh
lands.
The anti-injunction bill and the
statehood for New Mexico and Arizona
bills may be consolidated.
In addition to these the president
has recommended several other mat
ters of legislation, including the bill
for a new form of government for
Alaska. the bill for federal incorpora-
tions and the bill creating a public
health bureau.
Mr.. Taft let it be known that while
he would urge only the five measures
set forth as party pledges he has by
NO means abandoned the other meas
ures and he will call the attention of
congress to them again at the begin
ming of the next session. He will con-
tinue to urge the measures until some
definite action is taken on them. AS
the other measures largely reflect his
personal views, however, the president
does not think they should stand in
the way at this time of bills designed
to fulfill party pledges.

ERNEST WARDE TELLS OF AC-
TORS "J0SHING"
DELIGHT OF WAGS TO MAKE
CAST LAUGH
Noted Stage Director Has Good Yarn
About Breakfast in Private Car
with Famous shakespearean
Actor, Richard Mansfield
BY NELSON KINGsLAND

To those who pay money at the box
offices of theaters and enjoy from in
front the work of the actor folk back
of the footlights. it sometimes is in
teresting to hear intimate, homely
anecdotes of the actors themselves and
of the pranks and jokes that are per-
petrated before the eyes of hundreds
who leave the theater in blissful ignor-
ance.
While Ernest c. Warde was in Los
Angeles as stage director and actor
with Max Figman in MARY James Pa
he had more than one entertaining
story to tell of men who have ranked
well to the front among American
Thespians. He has lived a life well
qualified to put him in intimate touch
with men of the stage. His father,
Frederick Warde, has been known for
years as one of the leading Shake
spearean actors of the American stage.
For several years the younger Warde
was stage director for Richard Mans
field, and prior to that engagement he
played minor parts with his father
when Frederick Warde and Louis
James were starring through the coun-
try in Shakespearean roles.
ut all looks real and earnest from
the front, but there are some sad jokes
played back of the footlights," said
Ernest Warde to a gathering of friends
at a luncheon the other day.
IT'S true-it is work, but you know
those two boys in the printing room
scene in Mary James Pa where Fig
man talks to the two youngsters, one
at a time, and says some very serious,
philosophic things, we'll; dt's awful hard
for the biggest boy. What Ffgman
says is quite impressive. But you don, t
know about the boys. The printer
devil can laugh because he's sup
posed to be irresponsible, anyhow. But
the other lad, who is getting out the
paper, is quite as young in years-but
his lines call for a serious demeanor,
and when Figman gets serious across
the type case and tells him what good
boy he is those in the audience do not
hear the little whispers and asides
that put the youngster into mt OF
agony to keep the lines Of his race
STRAIGHT and restrain himself from
Louis James a Wag
"Perhaps of all the lot that have
known Louis James is the rankest
jokesmith. He always is ready for a
lark. and he does not care who has TO
nav the piper, either. l remember one
night we were playing Shakespeare
Julius Caesar Father was playing
Brutus and Mr.. James was playing
Antony. In the interval before the
last act Mr.. James saw picture OF "a
coryphee on the wall in the corridor
leading to his dressing room.
Seized with an inspiration, he tore
it down and hustled it into his dress
ing room. When the last act comes on
the two armies, one led by Brutus and
one by Antony, face each other on
the stage. There are serious lines in
this parley. and when the truce was
