OBJECTS TO BOOST
Gov. Wilson Asks New Jersey
Democrats to Ignore Him.
HOLD STATE CONVENTION
Executive Wants Nothing in Plat
form Supporting Him for Presi-
Dental Nomination.

TRENTON, y. J.. October Gov.
Wilson of New Jersey. in dis
the platform to be adopted at
today's democratic state convention. said
that the delegates should do nothing that
would look like giving him a boost for
the presidential nomination.
When noon arrived. the hour for cali
ing TO order the convention for the sole
purpose of adopting a party platform for
this fall campaign. most of those entitled
to seats in the convention were holding
conference at the statehouse with Gov.
Wilson over wha. kind OF a platform to
adopt
At that time. according TO the governor.
the writing of a platform had not been
started The conference. the governor
said. was for the purpose of deciding
what should be discussed i'm the platform
rather than to determine upon any
phraseolosy. That. the governor said.
was a matter for the conventions COM

The governor expressed doubt as TO the
good taste OF the platform praising either
himself last winters legislature. lie
called attention to the fact that he and
the democratic members OF last winters
legislature would make up a major part
Of the convention. and he thought il
would look too much like blowing their
own horns
Gov Wilson said he W shed to be frank
and called attention TO the fact that his
name was being mentioned in connection
with the democratic presidential nomina-
ton and he thought the convention should
do nothing that would look like giving
him boost. Any expressions OF praise
for his administration he suggested should
come from the people.
Some of the others at the conferences
said they saw no improperly in having
the platform declare that Gov Wilson
and the democratic legislature had car
ried out the pledges they made in the
campaign of year ago.
Republicans Also in Session.
The republican state convention for the
adoption OF a party platform was called
to order at the Republican Club just
before noon. and after being i'm session
for a few minutes adjourned until ?
o'clock State Seantor John ID. Prince
of Passaic county acted as temporary
presiding officer. IL was generally I'M
derstood that Col. Austin Colgate would
be made the permanent chairman.
The preliminary session developed no

of the adoption of the platform that has

The Turkish cable to Tripoli has been
cut and the officials are Ignorant of what
is going on there. All officials and officers
have been ordered to return to their
pests.
An Egyptian notable has offered to or
ganize a force of 30.O0 Egyptians to
march against the Italians at Tripoli.
RERI IN October 3.-It was announced
at the foreign office today that Germany
probably would not proclaim her neutral
ity toward the Turco-Italian war. The
reason ascribed for this decision was the
probability that the conflict would be of
brief duration.
No steps toward mediation We're likely
to be taken. IL was said, before the Tri-
olitan coast has been occupied by the
Italians.

AUTHORITIES DIFFER
ON QUAKE FORECAST
Accuracy of New Orleans
Prophecy Questioned by Lo-
cal University Official.

NEW ORLEANS, October "a violent
earthquake is forecast by what are re-
garded as unmistakable indications regis
tered by the seismOgraph at Loyola Uni
versity. The needles Of this instrument
have recorded microseismograms without
interruption since noon Saturday, the
amplitude steadily increasing until late
yesterday. when it had reached one and
three-quarters millimeters.
These microseismograms" said Father
Franckhauser, director Of the observa-
tory. ARE similar in all particulars to
those which were recorded for five days
preceding the disastrous Turkestan quake.

New Orleans.
volcanic origin"
Due to Variations in Air Pressure.
Rev. Father Torndorf. in charge of the
chronological observatory at Georgetown
University. does not agree with Father
Franckhauser in his forecast regarding
the imminence of earth shocks as foretold
by the variations of the needle on the
seismograph. The instruments at George
town University have also shown steady
variations for several days, but Father
Torndorf says that they are due solely to
variations in air pressure, and do not in
dictate that earthquakes are near at hand.
He gives the following explanation of the
phenomena:
Seismologists are we'll agreed that mi
croseisms are essentially due to meteoro-
logical agencies, /. e., to barometric pres
SureS and to the ACCOMPANYING gradients.
Observations have shown that the am
plitude of these grams are, for the most
part, dependent on the steepness of the
barometrtc gradient. That these dis
turbances be manifest the meteorological
conditions which occasion them must be
barometric pressures, wind and FRACTIONAL
excitation of the earths crust count tor
little, If at all.
Not Harbingers Of Quakes.
1T has also been noticed that when
once these disturbances have manifested
themselves they continue even after the
immediate cause has been suspended. In
consequence they are not to be locke
upon as harbingers of severe quaKes,
though by way of coincidence they may
have preceded pronounced earth distur-
Dances.
1T may be added that at this observa-
tory Georgetown University, these
microseIsms nave been recorded almost
continually for the past three days, nor
is this OF rare occurance. The months

HsAcK TO THE LAND"

The writer haB lately run across two
or three concrete Instances Of this
t'back To the land movement where IL
was painfully apparent that the ones
taking the step should have rented
half acre near their old home and
worked it nights and mornings. This
would have enabled them to determine
whether there were in their makeup
those qualities which would make it
possible fDr them ID hold permanently
that rosy view of agriculture and bor-
Hculture that is pictured in The maya

The writer has had occasion OF late
to make inquiry into the rating Of
some young men who have been desir.
ouS OF securing loans OF banking
houses, and it Is interesting as well as
Instructive to note some Of the factors
which the average banker takes into
account before extending loan.
Among these may be mentioned the
amount OF money which the prospec-
tive borrower has saved-in other
words, his present financial status. An
other and very important considera-
ton, linked with the above and deter
mining IL, H. the habit which one has
acquired in the handling of his earn
fnGs, whether saving them or spending
them carelessly without a thought OF
the future. Another Is the habits
which the prospective borrower has nc
quired along the line Of steadiness,
push and promptness In meeting obi
cations assumed. liz ~ due 10 these
anl other reasons why one man can
get an accommodation Mt a bank and
others cannot. and 1t is a pity that
more young men do not realize the fact
early FRI their career when the acquir-
ing OF habits OF industry and thrift
will mean ultimately success or failure
1n business way. The lack I'm such
fellows Is that they have little ambi-
ton to be anything and have nothing
I'm the future toward which they are
working energetically and with well
defined purpose.

During = season when typhoid fever
seems rO Nc more prevalent than fol
many years II Is worth while repeating
some Of fine precautions given i'm these
notes some months ago. The chief
sources Of Infection are through food
and liquids taken into tine system. and
OF these the most prolific are drinking
water, milk and oysters which come
from beds where city sewage II
dumped. The only way to be on the
safe side Is to boil all water and milk
used and 10 thoroughly cook oysters
and any other article Of food that
might contain the germs. Another pre-
caution Of equal Importance where
there Is typhoid patient in the house
is The use OF the utmost care in disin-
fecting all OF the patients sputa, ex-
creta and urine. These are not pleas
ant things I'd talk about, but many a
life has been lost from this scourge
through lacl: Of proper attention to
these simple precautions.
