Can Mans Wife
 Garry Threats
 To Her Husband

New Haven, Oct. 24.-Whether a mans wife can act as an agent in carrying threats to her husband which have been made by third party Is g. fine point of criminal law which Judge Tyner of the Police court is to decide by the coming Thursday.
 The question developed recently in the case of James H. Lawler, former ly an employe of the Schollhorn O., who is charged with intimidation. The charge resulted from a strike which was on in that shop last sum-. mer and in which it was asserted that Lawler went to the home of one William Baker at 66 Clay street and told Mrs. Baker that if her husband did not strike with the rest of them. that he (Lawler) would have Bakers picture and name printed in all of the papers in the country and people when they saw he was g. "scab" would refuse him work.
 Attorneys David FitzGerald and Daniel Bailey. for the defense, filed a demurrer to the charge at the be- ginning of the trial on the ground that Mrs. Baker coulf not act as an agent in the carryf~- If threats even if it were assumed that Lawler had made the threats. They held that, had Mrs. Baker not told her husband of the alleged threats, that there would have been no intimidation and consequently Lawler was not to blame for Mrs. Bakers actions. Judge Ty- ner refused to sustain the demurrer.
 At the conclusion of the trial Judge Tyner said he would take until Thurs day to decide the point raised by At torneys FitzGerald and Bailey. The

CAN THE DEAD SPEAK

Prof. William James, the greatest psychof0gfst this oeouhafy ohas pro- duced. Was q member Of The American Society of Psychical Research. Be- fore his death he. entered into an agreement with Professor James H. Hyslop, secretary of the society, to communicate with him from the be- yond. should that be possible. Both had 'beenp engaged in search for evidence upon which to found a sci entific basis for the belief that. there is a life after death-a condition in which the ego remains, knowing it's identity with it's earthly form.
 These men, by the consideration of phenomena more or less obscure had reached tfes 'G6nc1usfon that there is scientific proof of life after death. Their views were shared by many men famous in scientific circles, men who by long experience had become experts in distinguishing fraud, inn posture and hysteria in the subjects used in psychic experimentation.
 Now comes Prof. Hyslop, saying that he has received communication from the spirit of Prof. James. The manner of manifestation he does not state, saying 'It would take fat vol umes to tell it." but he promises full details in the future.
 The question arises as to how the identity of a. person communicating from the elsewhere may be disclosed
 In the same way that the identity

THE "RUZZIELAMBS"

The .xa6ctEineSl of Il equal rights for men and women in breach of promise suits is just now the subject of com- ment in connection with the "Ruzzie- lamb' case, in which a. jury found a verdict of no damages against a young man who kissed and told" in defiance of the code which men have established for their guidance in that sort, of thing. ''Ruzzielamb'' must have appeared to the jury as a male character, not easily duplicated. Damages for him would have been equivalent to putting the stamp of judicial approval upon conduct out side the pale. It might have encour- aged other ".Ruzzielambs" to bring other nsctions tloft thel same nature against women who had been unfor- tunate enough to believe them manly because they were males.

NEXT PRESIDENT A DEMOCRAT.
(New Haven Union.)

(New Haven Union.)
 F. H. Hemingway of this city, whQ has just returned from long busi- ness trip through New England, said last evening that while he was Re publican, he could not see anything very encouraging for the party as pertaining to next years presidential contest, from his talk with men of both parties in his recent journey ings He said it was for the most part the impression with those with whom he had talked, that the next President would be a Democrat.
 There is a certain feeling of un- rest among the people" said Mir: Hemingway in commenting on what he had heard in the different sections of New England.
 "While the people do not always say just why they want a change in administration, yet there does seem to be that impression that @ change would be beneficial" continued MT. Hemingway.
 ''The war on the corporations and on the business interests which has been taken up by the administration seems to have had its effect and then, business is streaky; that is, it may be very good in one section but bad in others; and not a very encouraging industrial outlook generally. I would like to see different feeling, but 1 must confess that it is about the way I have found it.
 .sThe people seem to think-even many Republicans-that it would have been better for President Taft if he had remained in Washington and that his tour around the country has not improved his candidacy for 1912. Many say that they believe the President honest at heart-many men of both parties say that-but that he is too good a. man to be politician and that in this, he is not a success. Sometimes he may not explain his views clearly, or at any rate, his re- marks are picked to pieces and mis- construed and that this is what is

RESULTS OF PROBING
Into Republican Manage ment of the Federal
 Government
(By Clyde H. Tavenner.)

Tariff isn't the only thing the Re- publicans are afraid of in the coming campaign. There is another item that is giving them worry. They are wondering how they can answer the charges of corruption, incompetency, and maladministration that have been brought out and proven by the various Democratic Investigating committees.
 Republican leaders realize that this problem is going to present excep- tional difficulties by reason of the fact that when the Democrats started to investigate those same Republicans shouted in derision, declaring there Republican rule the affairs of govern ment had been conducted in the only perfect manner, and that the whole purpose of the Democrats was to make political thunder.
 That there was really need of some Investigating in and around Wash ington was amply proven before the inquiries into the results of Repub- Hcan rule had fairly started, and des- pile all the revelations of extrava- gance and maladministration that have come to light, many of the in vestigating committees are just get ting ready to go to work. So far they have only scratched the surface.
 The Moss committee brought to light the shameful manner in which the plotters in the Pure Food bureau had stripped Dr. Wiley of all power and made a farce of the law designed to protect the public from the greed of unserupulous food dopers.
 The Stanley committee learned that the steel trust for years paid tremen- do.ls profits on a capitalization repre- sented largely by water and thin air, and that the trust gobbled up the Ten nessee Coal and Iron CO, it's chief rival, with the aid and connivance of a Republican administration, ostensf- bly, to prevent panic, but actually to stifle it's main competitor. It was further brought out that men were acting as counsel for the steel trust while receiving money from the gov- ernment as 'trust busters
 The probe of the State Department revealed that money was expended for one thing, and charged to another, while the committee on expenditures in the navy department discovered that more than three million dollars worth of supplies were taken from the Waschington navy yard without an accounting, and that the bookkeep- ing system in use there is absolutely ridiculous.
 These are but a few of the many illustrations that could be given to show the value of honest investiga- tions.

STERLING REJOICES:
 GIRL BABY ARRIVES

Sterling, Conn.,, Oct. 24.-The strange dearth of girls here has been broken, and there is great rejoicing in town
 For more than year all the ba bies born in Sterling were boys, until Fri day, when a little girl arrived in the home of the Rev. H. E.. Anderson, the new pastor of the Baptist church.
 The situation had become most per- picking. Of almost 50 pupils in the district school. there was only one girl. When a family moved to Sterl- ing the children invariabl were boys
 Vital statistics of the town showed all the births for the last year were of boys.
 When the Rev. MT. Anderson was called and it was discovered he was the father of four sturdy boys, some of his parishioners felt they had made a mistake. The belief now is that everything soon will be all right The new baby has received scores of presents.

going to injure him. They say he is not magnetic like Roosevelt and the people do not listen to him as they do to the ex-President. That is about what the people tell me on my trav- els"
 ''Is it the impression of prominent New England Democrats that MT. Wilson will b9 nominated by the Dem- ocrats for President?"
 "Not at all. They say Wilson has talked too much. They say either Gov. Harmon or Speaker Champ Clark will be nominated and they say that either could carry the country.
 There is one bright spot in the political outlook for the Republicans, and that is in Massachusetts. In my opinion, eX-Gov. Frothingham is to be a sure winner for governor. Tn some way Gov. Foss has not enthused the people and I don't believe he can be reelected

of member of secret society is dis closed to another member, although they may never meet. It is essential that there shall be circumstances only known to the ego that has passed on and the person to whom the communication is made. The trouble with such evidence is its exclusiveness.
 But this class of investigation should be encouraged. The results obtained should be seriously consid- cred. Prof. James testimony upon any subject in which he was inter- ested, or of which he had Knowledge, would have been of high authority in an other domain than that of spirit ism. The same is true of Prof. Hy- slop
 The belief in immortality is almost as universal as the human race. Some experimental proof of that immortal tty may not be impossible. Neither is there anything strange, or out of the order Of things. that intelligence should be continuing
 Nothing can be more wonderful than that anything is. Energy may change its form, but it can never, be lost.
 Prof. Hyslop's view simply is that intelligence, the individual intelli- gence. may change it's form. but can not be lost. "I'' passes on, but re- mains "I." Let us withhold judg- ment until the evidence is all in. In the meantime we are waiting to hear what Prof. James said to Prof. Hy- slop.

king" COLE GONE
TO TRY FOR PLACE
IN EASTERN CIRCLE
Couldn't Convince Manager
McAleer He Was Extra
Good Pitcher.
By SENATOR"

King" Cole, who tried for the
Georgetown team last spring, had been
working his head off with the Nation
ais in the hopes of landing a job. He
failed to make much of an impression
on Manager McAleer, however, and left
last night for Baltimore, where he will
endeavor to catch on with Jack
Dunn's Orioles of the Eastern League.
Cole worked out mornings at the New
York Highlanders park this summer,
and was ordered to join the team in
Cleveland, as was reported in The
Times. He showed up the night the
Nationals left for Chicago, and was
given chance to pitch to the batters.

Capital City and appeared at the paint
ed palace the day before yesterday.

ing some attention by catching a couple
of flies. w. H. Callahan recommended
him to Manager McAleer, and he is get
ting a chance TO Show what he has
against the batSmen in practice. So far
he has not been signed.
Chance For Callahan.
Callahan appealed to Hughey Jennings
when the Tigers were here for a chance
to show his class, and was furnished
with uniform. He pitched to the bat
ers each day, but when the Tigers left
for Philadelphia he stayed right here.
Ihen he asked for a chance with the
Nationals, and is now getting It.
KID Elberfeld, game as a pebble, will
be found In the lineup as long as Men
ager McAleer will keep him there, but
he is pretty lame gent. When he
jumped into the first cushion Thursday,
he strained muscle in his thigh, and
yesterday limped around like a goat
with spring-halt He came to the park
today for treatment and hopes to have
the soreness wear off in a day or so.
Doc. Gessler says that that clout he
got yesterday was mere nothing. It's
the arm l feel" says Gessler. MY
word, this right arm of mine feels
like hunk of iron and it's black and

by taking a double-header from Detroit.
eleven-inning struggle, and capturing
the second to5.
Both games were intensely interesting.
The scores were always close and the
results ever in doubt right down to the
finish. That the Athletics won both
games was because Of their better stay
ing powers, because in the pinches they
never faltered and because their pitch
ing and fielding were steady and effec-
tive, and their winning tallies in the
two games were the results of misplays
by the opposition at the most inoppor-
tune times.
1t was a base on balls that paved the
way for victory in the first game and
1t was a muff Of fly ball In the Sec
ond game that sent in the runs that
gave the champions the game In order
to cover up the error and with the hopes
of getting the umpire to reverse his de-
cision, as happened in a notable game
between the same teams some seasons
ago, Jones made the claim similar to
Crawford on the former occasion that
the crowd had interfered with the catch.
1t was patent to all that big crowd that
Jones was ten or fifteen feet from any
of the overflow crowd and that it was
a muff pure and simple that no amount
of argument could cover up.
In past seasons there have been some
notable crowds at Shibe Park but ncne
has ever been a marker to the one that
gathered to witness the opening battle
between the leaders yesterday Official
figures are unavailable. but there was

the bleachers were choked to suffoca-
