LAW STOPS PAID WORKERS.
New Massachusetts Election Act Like
~ to Be copied.

Boston, July 1S.-The new Massa-
chusetts corrupt practice act is pro-
nounced an epoch-making enactment
and is likely to be widely copied by
other state legislatures this winter
The previous law failed because there
was no incentive for anybody to en-
force it.
The new act provides that whoever
is convicted of violating the law relat-
ing to corrupt practices in elections
shall be deemed ineligible to hold pub
lie office for three years, and If a per
son elected to public office is convicted
of corrupt practices, his office shall lie
vacated and a new election held"
This holds out an inducement to de-
feated candidates and defeated parties
to take the initiative in bringing Of
tenders into court
Another provision restricts any can
didates from spending more than S25
for each LOCO voters in his district The
hiring of workers at the polls is no
longer permissible

INSANE MAN LEFT ESTATE.
William CanfeId's Property VIII Go to
Daughter Who Is Poor.

When William Garfield died recent
ly in the state hospital, he left a valu-
able Shawnee county farm to a desti-
tute daughter somewhere in the east,
who is Confelds only heir. c. p. Boil
mar. who has been appointed admin
istrator of the estate. will notify the
woman of her inheritance at once.
Garfield was adjudged insane before
a commission in the Shawnee county
probate court nearly / years ago. At
that time he was an old man. He was
nearly 80 years old when he died. Can
filed was never released from the asy-
lum and since his confinement, c. p.
Bolmar has acted as his guardian and
looked after the estate. When Can
field died, Bolmar was made admin
istrator. It is stated that Garfield
owned some personal property in nd
ditfon to the valuable farm near Memo
ken, this county. For many years be
fore he was adjudged insane, Garfield
had made his home on the farm which
IS considered one of the most valuable
In the Menoken district. Several years
ago the mans wife died and the
daughter in the east is the only direct
heir to the estate
Mr.. Bolmar today declined to dis
cuss the merits of the case. stating
that he has not as yet qualified as ad-
rninistrator and that many of the de-
tails involved in the final settlement Of
the estate can not be given at this
time.

TAFT TRIES TO KEEP COOL.
Motors Until After Midnight to Escape
Washington Heat.

Washington. July 1S.-With most all
the comforts about him except the
cool breezes from Salem bay, President
Taft is endeavoring to make the hot
months he is forced to spend in Wash
ington as nearly like those he spent in
Beverly last summer as possible.
With Secretary Hilles and Major A.
w. Butt, the president is keeping
bachelor quarters in the White House.
Almost every afternoon after the
press of executive business, the presi-
dent motors out to the Chevy Chase
club, plays eighteen holes of golf and
comes back to dinner at the White
House much refreshed. After dinner
the three go autom obiling in the one
big White House machine that has rot
been taken to Beverly. They seek the
speedway around Potomac park, or
the cooler depths of Rock Creek park.
Usually two or three hours are spent
in the motor trip but the president
tries to be back in the White House
ready for bed shortly after midnight.
He is an early riser and has plenty of
work to do even in these hot days, so
that he keeps himself in the best
physical condition possible.

organize in Porto Rico a military ex-
petition against the country they for

4, 1909, which was passed for the spec
ial purpose Of discouraging the foment-
the weaker Latin American republics
Morales and Jiminez made bitter tight
before the United States commissioner
at San Juan but the evidence against
them was too strong.
Morales the leading Spirit, made
his headquarters at New York. He
made arrangements here for the pur-
chase Of large quantities of arms and
ammunition and entered inc negCt1a-
tions for q war vessel. His operations
were so far reaching that number of
prominent New York merchants and
exporting agents have been subpoenaed
to appear at the trial in Porto Rico
next fall"
Mr.. Darling said that Santo Domingo
was passing through an era of pros
perity and peace and that its people
realized the Morales revolution was de-
feated without bloodshed. Under the
new law, the penalty Morales and
