Mr.. Faulkner married Dora Gallup who
survives with two children, Ada May
Faulkner and Roy H. Faulkner The
sympathy of the entire community goes
out to the family in their sudden be-
reavement, also to his aged parents, Mr..
and Mrs. r. Houghton Faulkner. Mr..

farm ana always followed that occupa-
ton, He had been a member Of the Ma o.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Only One Candidate for Governor.

With the new primary law for the nom
nation of governor and other state Off
Gals, the Republicans are proceeding
cautiously, especially in the matter of the
gubernatorial nomination. The only can
didate who has publicly announced him
self for the first place on the Republican
ticket is Senator Robert +. Bass of Peter
boro The Concord Monitor, under former
Senator Chambers guidance, is pronounc-
ed in favor of Sherman Burroughs, who
refuses to run. Gov. Quinby has a strong
following among the dailies of New
Hampshire, who favor him for a second
term, including the Nashua Daily Tele-
graph. However, there is evidence that
the weeklies are taking up their positions
very slowly Although GOV. Quinby has
not announced his candidacy, several of
the weeklies are favoring him. Others
are for Bass, but the majority are nom
commttal. If the weeklies give any in
dication of the state of mind of the Repub-
leans, and it is fair to believe they do, it
looks as if the voters were still thinking
over the situation, for which there is
ample time as the primaries are over
five months away

Jury Said Church Was Not Guilty.

The case of b. u. Wheeler against
Adm w. Church has been very in
teresting topic of conversation the past
week. The plaintiff claimed that the
defendant wlfully destroyed about 30
gallons of maple syrup by going to his
sugar house and opening the faucet Of
his syrup tank and letting the contents
run out on the ground. The plaintiff
was represented by Lawyer O. e. But
terfeld and the defendant by Lawyer
e. ]. Waterman of Brattleboro. The
case was called Thursday morning and
the defendant asked for jury trial.
Accordingly Nathan Green, Albert Fox,
Herbert Fox, Orrin II. Jones, Herbert
Ware and Albert Haynes were drawn
as a jury. After the states evidence
had been introduced Lawyer Waterman
considered it unnecessary to put in any
testimony for the defendant, but was
willing to let the case go to the jury.
After being out but a few minutes the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

crime for which DR.. H. H. Crippen, the

not by any means spell liberty for the
young woman. For years she will be

cold, unsympathetic world h Will

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Now that Woodrow Wilson has put
himself on record as to his views on
bosses, would it not be of interest to
everyone to hear what Mr.. Lewis has
to say or this subject? If there are
bosses in the Democratic party, there
are surely men Of the same specie in
the ranks of the Republicans. and in
view of the fact that the Republicans
have been in power so many years
there ought to be and are bosses
galore. What Is Lewis going to do
with them? Has he promised to do
their bidding or is he too independent?
Let him come squarely, as Wilson
did. and tell the voters of this State
just where he stands on the question.
If Mr.. Record wishes to do a further
service to the Democratic party he
might send a letter to the gubernatorial
candidate of his party asking him the
same questions that Wilson so ably
and so readily answered. It is almost

MODERN Hotel Badly Needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There have been a great many plans
formed and some money expended for
the purpose of advertising Newark, but
there remains one thing to be done that
will more effectually bring this city be-
fore the business men of the country
than anything else could possibly do. l
refer to a large and first-class hotel.
Among the business men of this city
to be great. Why do we not have n
of the big conventions In Newark?
Conventions that will bring big and
important men to our midst, who, when
they leave us. will tell the rest of the
country what we amount to. Newark
is known to be one of the greatest
manufacturing cities In the Union, but
to make 1t more well known, and,
consequently, more prosperous, we need
advertising, and need 1t badly.
1t is a shame to think hat a city
like ours, with it's population and
wealth that we are aware of, does not
possess a hotel large enough to accom-
modate a fair-sized number of visitors.
A member of the Newark Board of
Trade recently told me that during the
last few years he has met with over
fifty organizations in other cities who
would gladly come to this city for their
conventions but for the lack of accom-
modations here. Think how much ad-
vertising these conventions would have
netted us. 1t is very evident to us tina
only a very small part of the people in
the Western cities have ever heard Of
such a place as Newark, N. J.
Let some Of the Newark business
men who have money get together on
this matter and build q suitable hotel
n with six or eight hundred rooms in
it, with good service and In every way
up-to-date. Then we could invite BUSH
ness men from other cities to come
here n Men who are in
terested In advertising this city would
then hear of Newark anywhere they
should go. More advertising would be
realized from this movement than tons
of literature could produce. And the
hotel would pay well, proving an ex-
cellent business venture from every
point 1t could be viewed. A. B. c.
