o1n-GuaRD pIsINTEGRATING.

Somewhat staggered by losses in
Oneida, n. Y, on Tuesday and in
Schenectady yesterday the leaders OF
the republican old guard" who are
fighting against Roosevelt domination
of the republican state organization
and a Roosevelt presidential nomina-
ton in 1912, went last night carefully
over the lineup to date and declared
that the fight for control of the state
convention is still very lively affair.
There was no attempt to disguise the
fact that the old guard" leaders in
New York were surprised and per-
turbed over the overthrow of the
Barnes control in Schenectady county.
That Mr.. Barnes, the Albany leader had
the. firnest kind OF a hold on the repub-
lican machine of his neighboring county
was the confident belief Of all his asso-
ciates. Consequently there was astonish.
ment and some dismay when word came
to state headquarters that this rapidly
growing unit in Mr.. Barnes's political
fortress had elected II delegates who
were pledged TO vote for Roosevelt
for chairman OF the state convention
and against Vice-President Sherman,
who is the "old guards" candidate for
the place.
Exuberant over this overturing in
Schenectady, particularly as it followed
the defeat OF Vice-President Sherman
on Tuesday in his own ward, the leaders
OF the Roosevelt Griscom forces de-
clared that they will easily control at
least $40 delegates in the convention
next Tuesday, a majority OF GO. They
assert that the disintegration OF the old
guard" had begun.
Members of the odd guard" intl-
mate that they still have some trumps
to play but they admit that yesterday
affair in Schenectady made the fight
between Roosevelt and Vice-President
Sherman very close.

MAY MEAN NEW PRIMARY

At Norfolk yesterday attorneys en-
gagged in the investigation OF the con-
gressional democratic primary in the
Second district, those forW. ]. Young,
the holder Of the certificate OF nomi-
nation; for Representative Maynard,
defeated by a narrow margin on the
face Of the returns, and for the dem
ocratic party, dug deep yesterday in
their research for fraud and other ir-
Irregularities in the election. The find
ings OF attorneys for the democratic
party are placed at the disposal OF both
Maynard and Young, while the attor-
neys for the contestant and contestee
are working in the interest OF their
respective candidates.
While the time for 4 showdown has
not yet arrived statements are being
freely circulated that much evidence of
corruption has been obtained involving
the candidacy of both Maynard and
Young, and this is of such nature
that it may invalidate the election
altogether and necessitate the holding
of new primary or a convention to
nominate a democratic candidate for
Congress. The entire district is being
gone over by agents representing each
OF the three sides to the contest in the
search for Irregularities.
L. A. Bilisoy, leading counsel for
the democratic party, sprung 4 surprise
Yesterday when he made amotion before
the investigating committee that copies
Of the registration books used in the
primary in the city of Norfolk be pro-
duced. The democratic city chairman
was asked to give them up. The in
vestigation is going deeper than was
anticipated and the democratic leaders
of the state are beginning to fear
that it will have q bad effect on the
coming elections, especially in the
Second and Ninth Virginia districts.
A delegation is soon to 60 from Nor
folk and other sections Of the Second
district to Warsaw, Richmond county,
there to urge Congressman William A..
Jones To declare himself for the United
States Senate againstThomas S. Martin.

Wholesale Raids.

New York, Sept. CIT required
all of the available cell room in three
big station houses, and the crowding
OF two and three prisoners into a cell
to accommodate the victims OF q score
of raids made in the Tenderloin last
night and early today. Not in years
have the police acted SO rapidly, with
the result that the number Of victims
bagged was a record for the territory
covered.
All of the raids were made on war
rants issued on evidence secured by
Young policemen who have been work
ing in plain clothes, in disregard OF
the orders issued by Mayor Gaynor.
Commissioner Baker sent them out
Tuesday night when he was tipped
that acting Mitchel's investigators
were active in the white light district.
and they found no difficulty in getting
into many illegal resorts and securing
evidence.
Most OF the establishments ra!ded
were run as manicure parlors" and
the inmates were arraigned in the
woman's court, where, under the new
law, they were remanded for examina-
ton by the Health Department ply
sicians.
During the raids, the police allege
they we're offered cash to permit the
proprietors of the several resorts to
escape and additional charges were en-
tered against the alleged bribers.
The police picked up some pioneers
in new industry, men who they
allege have been operating through
the district claiming to be especial IN
vestigators under the acting mayor,
and levying black raail on the illegal
resort proprietors.

Pupils will be required to master such

made and similar things. With a
proper understanding Of these matters,
together with knowledge of how the

uookvorm War Is Being Pushed.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 22.-The cam
paign against hookworm disease in
Southampton county is proceeding
with great success. Reports received
at the State Health Department from
the county indicate: that great interest
is being taken in the work by the ply
sicians and by the people, and that
Southampton county will soon rid itself
of the infection. When the survey of
Southampton was begun by the officers
of the State Health Department, the
county was found to be very seriously
infected. The disease had evidently
existed in the county for years and a
large proportion OF the people were suf-
fering from the mild or severe forms
of the disease A vigorous campaign
was at once undertaken and field in
spectors were sent to the county. The
work OF these inspectors was enthusi-
astically received by the citizens OF the
county who aided in every possible
way in the work, and the last report
shows that more than one thousand
persons who were found suffering from
the disease have already been treated,
and the complete eradication of the
disease from the country is not far dis
tant. "The most encouraging feature
of the work in Southampton, " said the
state health commissioner, in discuss
ing the matter today, is the readiness
with which the people have taken pre-
ventive measures Our inspectors have
told them that while they may be tenn
porarily cured OF the disease, they are
never safe until soil pollution is stopped.
Accordingly, hundreds of families have
made new sanitary arrangements and
have put an end to conditions
which have made the eradication of
hookworm impossible. They have
teken the only possible way Of Kidding
themselves OF this trouble and will GER
tainly reap the benefits of their fore
sight. !"

The validity of the famous prcnuptial
agreement between Robert Winthrop
Chanler and Lima Cavalieri, his bride,
is now certain to be tested in the courts.
Chanlcr's first wife, Julia Chamberlain
Chaner, who obtained a divorce from
him in the French courts in 1907, filed
suit in New York yesterday in behalf OF
herself and her children in an endeavor
to set aside the agreement on the
ground that it was obtained by fraud
and undue influence and that it was not
the free act of Robert Winthrop
Chanler. Mrs. Chanler, the first, has
an agreement of her own with her
former husband providing for the pay
ment OF so, 600 yearly for her support
and $1,000 yearly for the support Of
each Of her daughters.
THE plaintiff is not aware, )" she says
in her papers, of the yearly income OF
the said Robert Chanler, but the
plaintiff believes that by the aforesaid
agreement the defendant has put it out
OF his power 10 carry OUT lnc ctlliS vi
his said agreement with the plaintiff,
and that by reason thereof the plaintiff
and her children may be deprived Of
the means of livelihood"
She continues that she is further in
formed and believes that the defendant,
ut the time OF the execution OF the said
ndcnture, was in a suggestible mental
state, that he was susceptible or liable
to be easily influenced and deceived,
and that the defendant, Natalina
Cavalieri ChanIer, knowing Of his con-
diGon and taking advantage thereof,
contrived, by Misrepresentation
specious inducements and undue in
huence to persuade him to execute the
said iudenture.

IF THE right hand of fellowship were
extended to burglars, second story
men, crooks and others of this stripe,
instead OF kick and threat, the
world would be better and there would
be no need OF locks and keys. This is
the belief OF Henry Neil, OF Chicago,
Secretary of the National Probation
League, and to show that he is willing
to practice what he breaches, Neil has
had all locks and bars removed from
the windows and doors OF his homo.
ANY visitor who cares to visit his house
is welcome, said Neil, and the only
favor he asks is that if they enter at
night, they waken him SO that he may
serve refreshments and have q little
chat. Neil is confident that no one is a
burglar for fun, and that at the bottom
OF every robbery there is sane and
reasonable excuse. Locks and iron
bars are relics of barbarous age, he
said. There is but little likelihood OF
the Chicagoan having many imltators.

Tries to Flee From Bride Of one
Night.

Bloomsbury, Pa, Sept. 22.-To be-
come the bride of a man she had &C
tually known but two hours, and then
be told on the morning following the
ceremony that he was not the man
with whom she had been corresponding
for seven months and with whom she
had exchanged photographs, and later,
after an irate parent had caused his
arrest, to have him admit he really was
the man she believed him to be, was
the experience within twenty-four
hours OF Miss Sadie Emery, daughter
OF F. S. Emery, of Bloomsbury.
The romance had its inception when
the bride read an advertisement that
William Crawford, OF Amhurst, Neb.,
was not adverse to taking unto HIM
self second wife, he being Wld-
over, Al years old with fve-year-old
son. Miss Emery answered the adver-
tisement, and her letter brought q
fervent response. That was seven
months ago. The correspondence was
kept up and photographs exchanged,
with the result that she finally accept
ed his proposal of marriage.
In anticipation of his arrival yester-
day the bride obtained the Rev. Charles
Baerle to tie the nuptial knot. The
bridegroom did not reach town until
late at night, and to facilitate matters
the clerk OF the courts was routed from
bed SO that the pair might get their
marriage license and the ceremony be
performed without delay.
Custom OF the church to which Miss
Emery belongs has it that on the
marriage night the bride sleeps WITH
her mother and the bridegroom with
the brides father, and it was this fact
that early yesterday morning enabled
his new father-in-law to nip Crawford's
plan of escape. Aroused before 3
O'Clock, Emery was amazed to see
Crawford preparing to leave the house.
In reply to questions, Crawford de-
clared he had done his duty in coming
on; that he was not Crawford, and that
Crawford would appear in few days.
District Attorney Small, Justice ia
CODY and Constable Betz were routed
from their beds, and before the town
clock had struck O'Clock Crawford
found himself under arrest. 1t was
when he was in this predlcament that he
declared his statement that he was not
Crawford was untrue and that he was the
man OF the young girls dreams. The
difficulties were adjusted, and bride
and bridegroom left Yesterday for the
latter's western home, where, according
to the story he tells, he is a man of
property.

With a fortune of $50, 000,000 John
S. Lyle, who will be SO the thirteenth

beautiful country home at TenaHy

The bride, who was Miss Julia Han

terrain Hospital in New York to care
for his sister-in-law, two years ago.
The wife will inherit his entire for
tune, as there were no children from
his first marriage.
The marriage was almost an elope-
ment, for the pair went by automo-
bile to Yonkers to have the knot tied,
without saying Il word to anybody.
Once there they lost no time in seek
ing the Office of the city clerk, where
they asked for marriage license.
The clerk smingly recorded Lyle's
confession as to his age. The nurse
admitted to go
IS it necessary that we be married
in Yonkers, or is that license good

groom.
'Inasmuch as you are not residents
of this state, you must be married
here" said Clerk O'Bricn.
Then the latter referred the couple
to justice of the peace, who has mem
orized the ceremony, thereby winning
something OF 4 reputation among the
matrimonially inclined.
Mr.. Lyle's first wife, who was Mary
X. Newcomb, died a little more than
