PATIENT OBJECTS TO
HOT WATER TREATMENT
Literally in Hot Water for a
Month

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, April 14.-Wil-
liam Covert, of Albany, appeared be-
fore Judge Hasbrouck today in a ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought to
secure Cayert's release from the Hud-
son River state sanitarium. He told
the court that patients were cruelty
treated by being forced to stay in tubs
of hot water
Zone man was kept in hot water for
a month"; said Cavert He was
forced to sit there all day long with
the water covered by a canvas fasten-
ed around his neck. Furthermore he
was forced to eat his meals while sit
ting in the tub of hot water"
DR.. w. E. Merriman of the hospital
staff, said Cavert's story was true
and explained that the water was
heated to ninety degrees, being used
as new and successful cure for ex-
citable patients.
The doctor said it would be dan
gerous to allow Cavert at large. JUS
tice Hasbrouck has reserved decision
in the matter.

10 YEARS ON GANG
GIVEN OCTOGENARIAN
COGFCed Girl Of IS to Marry
Him

Dresden, Tenn, April 14-Tom Gas
kin, aged 81 years, who, according to
allegations made by Miss Vizzie Nc
Daniel, aged Is, coerced her to ac-
company him from his home, short
distance from this place, to Paris,
Tenn, to marry him, was sentenced to
10 years in the penitentiary.
Miss Mcdaniel accused Gaskin of
assault and battery and of forcing her
to marry him, and brought suit for
damages against him on these grounds
for $4,000 damages.
In his answer to her bill, Gaskin
denied these charges and alleged that
she took advantage of his weak men
tai condition to entice him to marry
her. This damage suit was called
here last Wednesday, and a jury was
selected to try it, but after several
witnesses had been examined Judge
Jones threw it out of court, his ruling
on which he based his action being
that Miss McaDniel was Gaskm's law
full wife, and that therefore she could
not bring suit against him for dam
ages.
1t was then agreed by attorneys and
parties to the suit that the criminal
case against Gaskin should be imms-
diately taken up

Charles Register, who were placed On
trial yesterday in Colquit Superior
court, charged with the murder of ].

guilty today of voluntary manslaugh-

One Lone Man Defended the

New York, April 14-Mrs. H. S.
Owen, who is crusading against the
distinction accorded Brigham Young,
the father of 4Iormonism and his fif-
ty children, by the placing of his pic
ture on the silver service designed
for the battleship Utah, struck an
unexpected snag yesterday afternoon
when she endeavored to arraign Col,

Mrs. Owen was addressing the
League for Civic Education of Wo-

already trodden on sensitive toes by
telling how the women of her state

influence because they were voters,
and had saved the honor of the state
in the matter of Brigham Roberts by
arousing their sex throughout the
land. She had petition to offer,
asking that another design be sub
stituted for the silver service, and
she urged the women to have men as
citizens and voters write the presi-
cent of the United States and the
secretary of the navy.

PRESIDENTIAL Big four
FOR 1912 CAMPAIGN
Clark and Wilson Now Seem
FaVOritGS

Washington, April 14.-Harmon
Wilson, Clark and Bryan are names
on the Lips of nearly every one IN
Washington The tariff the Mexican
situation, Canadian reciprocity and
general Legislation are the immediate
and surface topics of discussion, but
deep down underneath it is presiden-
tial candidates in which the real in
terest lies, and democratic presiden-
tial candidates at that.
No one discusses the republican
presidential nomination except Ian
guidly 1t is taken for granted that
Mr.. Taft will be renominated and the
hostile element of his own party IS
quite certain he will be beaten-and
they think he wholly deserves 1t.
Many of his friends are depressed over
the poverty of his chances, and it is
no secret that republican hopes gen
orally are centered upon 1916 and not
on 1912. This situation makes the
democratic possibilities loom larger
now than ever before at period so
far in advance of the choice of a can
didate.
Harmon Boom First.
There have been some developments
since congress opened. In Washing
ton sentiment shifts and changes with
kaleidoscope swiftness, but it inva-
riably reflects the feeling of the coun-
try. Back in January the Harmon
movement was dominant, and the
Harmon conservatiseness, steadiness
and courage stood out, overshadower-
ingly. There was a decided list If
the democratic ship toward the Ohio
man and his friends felt his hand
was closing on the helm. He was re-
garded as the logical candidate and
the argument that as the republican
ne minee will come from Ohio the dem
.ocrats must name a man who has al
ready demonstrated his ability to car
ry that great pivotal state was used
with effect About that time there was
certainly a real Harmon feeling i'll
he Washington air. And then came
shift.
The singular success of Woodrow
Wilson in electing MARITIME to the sem
ate in the face of heretofore impreg-
nable organization, his legislative tri-
umphs at Trenton and his LUMINOSITY
progressive" speeches in the South
resulted in a tremendous boost of his
cause and a corresponding slump in
the Harmon stock Southern con-
gressmen came into Washington with
glowing reports of the overwhelming
sentiment in their districts for vii.
SIN New Jersey politicians did not
hesitate to declare that, so far from
linjuring him in his own state, his at
tack upon the machine had made
for any combination to get
that delegation away from him if he
We're a candidate. Taft's friends ap-
peared quick to recognize that Wilson
is more formidable man than Har-
nno and more likely to be the presi-
dents opponent, and they still think

REBELS ABANDON GUERRERO
Slowly Retreating to Mountains,

Chihuahua. Mexico. Jan. 7.-Guerrero has

frmatory advices brought in to-day by
Americans from that vicinity. %'nce the
last fight at Pedernales, the rebel leader,
Orozco, has been busy, with most Of his
forces, transferring supplies 10 the noun
tains west Of Guerrero
A light force was kept in front of Ma
varro to impede his advance, although
there vas no hope Of checking It. This
accounts for the fact that II has taken
the rederals a week TO advance twenty
miles
While the little army works in small
bands, il is declared they are still operat-
hg in harmony with general scheme to
keep as many Of the government soldiers
as possible I'm this state. giving time for
revolutionary organizations in other states.
In the mountains nearly every Mexican
is said 10 be a revoUtionist; although so
far it has been. impossible to arm them.
Orozco used up nearly all of his ammuni-
ton at Pedernales and Nal Paso, and 1t
was only two days ago that his predca-
ment was relieved by the arrival Of thirty
mules laden with cartridges.
