Specific denial of the report that he

come an aspirant for the office, circum-

He is allowed to have his meals,

variety, served in the vestfbulc of the

These and many other privileges are
accorded him. The fact that this is
so Is said to be due to constant com
plaint that he is in i'll health and in
need of fresh air.
An order committing Samucls to the

several days ago by Judge r. Carter

fined in hospital, and 1t is certain
that he is citizen of this State. then

USED GUN TO ROB
BREAD WAGON MAN
Pincus Grazeck Held Up by Ne
groes, Who Took His Money
and Sixty Loaves.

While delivering bread on his route
on North Seventeenth Street. Pincus
Grazeck, of the bakery firm of Ronm
d Grazeck, l27 North Seventeenth
street, was held up early yesterday
morning, and forced to give up $3.50,
all the money he had in his possession,
and his horse and wagon. :
In his report to the police OF the
First District Grazeck stated that he
was held up by five or six negroes,
who. with revolvers pointed at his
head. demanded his money or his life.
He handed over all the cash he had,
and then. while they forced him to
hitchcd the horse and led him away.
Grazeck sat still and waited. After
the men had gone from sight lie lett
the wagon and proceeded In search OF
his horse. lie found the animal some
distance away, and took him back
to the wagon. hitching him up again.
Then he looked in the wagon. He
saw that there was no use in proceed
ing on his route. All the bread was
gone. He reported his loss to range
between fifty or sixty loaves.
Grazeck told the police that he was
proceeding quietly on his way when
the negroes halted him, and that when
he gave up the money he thought the
transaction was finished. However, he
returned to find that all his bread was
missing. evidently having been de-
livered by other parties. The bread
was valued at several dollars more
than the cash which was en- from
him. No description of the alleged
highwaymen was furnished to the po-
lice.

MAINE AND THE DIRECT PRIMARY.
(From the Landmark1

Were It not for tho fac, that Maine al
ready had the initiative and referendum

overwhelming majority OF the votes cast

state Legislature an attempt to enact
State wide primary law was defeated,

THE DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY

(From the Springfield Republican,
Reciprocity's defeat In the Canadian
elections is a political fact whose magni-
tude cannot. perhaps, be fully appre-
ciated at the present time. 1t has an I'm
mediate and possibly a remote signif-
canoe. Americans will observe at once
that It is a decided rebuff to their ad-
vances in favor of closer trade relations
and that the general relations between
the two countries cannot be improved by
1t, although It would be unwarranted to
assume that the present friendly inter.
course between Canada and the United
States can be In the least strained by the
development.
Trade across the international boundary
will continue, everyone may be cure.
There will be much buying and selling.
1t Is impossible TO seal up the imaginary
line that divides the continent, and we
have no doubt that ultimately the CONT
mental FORCES implanted by Nature will
override all tho obstacles now interposed
by selfish Interests and national or i'm
perial prejudices. But for the time be-
Ing. and one dares not say how long IN
the future reaction triumphs.
Reciprocity could have been carried In
Canada 10 years ago. Unfortunately for
