Congressman Tom Reilly Talks On
 The Presidency
Speaker Champ Clark, Governors Harmon and Wilson All Good Candidates and Any of Them Would Suit Him

Meriden, Sept 16.-Congressman Thomas l.. Reilly is so near to the pulse of the Democratic party by that his views on the national well fare of the party are certainly worth hearing. A Record representative talked with the congressman on the reported national and state ticket that had been endorsed at a recent con ference in Hartford. Governor Jud- big in the presidential camp attend ed this conference but MT. Reilly did not have the pleasure of meeting him at that time The Ohioan is favored, according to report, by the Connectl- cut Democrats for the presidency. MT. Reilly met Governor Harmon at the big Democratic conference In Washington last December and had a chance to study him at close range but he has not committed himself as supporter of Governor Harmon ds the other state Democrats have.
 ''Who is your favorite candidate for the presidential nomination?" the mayor was asked
 ''The three leading men mentioned, Champ Clark, Governor Harmon and Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, are all good men and any one of them would suit me- replied the mayor. am not booming the candidacy Of any one of these three men and do not expect to make my allegiance known until matters are in more formative state. It is really too early to talk about which man should have the party's endorsement"
 The mayor did not care to make any comment on the recent boom for Governor Simeon l.. Baldwin for the vice presidency.
 Mayor Reilly must go to Washing ton the first week in December when congress reconvenes but his Demo cratic constituents expect to see him back early enough if business permits to participate in the city campaign with his usual vigor.
 Speaking of the redistricting bill just passed at the capitol the con- gressman was not at all fearful of any bad results so far as his future fate lay, He said his district was more compact than ever. To illus trate he had AZ towns to cover dur ing his last campaign and through the passage of the bill he now has a solid compact district of only Is towns which will make future cam paigning much easier. Of course he does not regret the loss of Middle town and other places in Middlesex county because they have been Re- publican strongholds. The loss of Waterbury Naugatuck, Derby and Ansonia squares up any advantage he might have gained if he had lost the Republican territory in Middlesex county alone

TELLS SECRET OF
ABSOLUTE LIFE
81 Felt as If I We're Walking Above
the Clouds Says Mrs.
Lucille Bridges.

CHICAGO, July 7.-Just how Abso-
lutte Life affects its followers was
described TO day by Mrs. Lucille
Bridges, mother of High Priestess"
Mildred Bridges and wife of Stephen
the stand at the trial OF Evelyn Ar
thur See.
- The unusual sight OF a mother APP
pearing In defense Of man who Is
charged with contributing to the de-
iinquency OF her own daughter, was
witnessed.
Mrs. Bridges declared she first felt
Absolute Life stealing over her in
December, 1905.
II had been studying II but was not
all imbued with the Spirit of the Life, =
she said. Suddenly there came upon
her a thrill; then a sense of great
Joy, or relief; of happiness. |
felt as IL l were walking above the
earth; In the clouds wandered. That
was Absolute Life; II made me happy
1t purified me. Since then have been
q better woman"
For this happiness Mrs. Bridges ad-
mitted she once contributed $1,000;
at another time $500, and many other
smaller donations to the great re-
vealer."
Absolute Life, she swore, aided the
disposition maryelously.
Mildred was beautiful child" she
said. "but her beauty caused her to
become spoiled. She was headstrong
and stubborn. When she became i'm
bued with the spirit of Absolute Life
she became a different girl She be-
came obedient, docile, sweet. II
wrought great change in her."
Mrs. Bridges declared that her
daughter became a high priestess in
the cult and went to live in the temple
of the Junior Commonwealth with tho
full consent Of both her parents This,
the defense claimed, effectually killed
the states charge of abduction.

CHARLES P. TAFT LINKED
WITH ALASKA LAND CASES
Sensational story Says He Aided Gus-
genhein-Morsan Syndicate To
Secure Lands.

WASHINGTON, July. 7.-Oflcial
circles buzzed today with sensa-
tional story that Charles p. Taft,
brother Of the president. assisted the
Guggenneim- Morgan syndicate in se-
curing from President Taft lands al
legged to hold the only key TO the
Alaskan coal fields.
The story Is the result of an inquiry
made by Miss M. r. Abbott, who as
serted that Richard s. Ryan. represent
ing the Gugenheims. obtained rights
by which the coal fields could be con-
trolled by the Guggenheims because
they would control the only outlet
from the fields. -
She asserted that she found post
script on letter from Richard 3.
Ryan to Richard A. Ballinger, then
secretary Of the interior, dated July
f3, 1910, as follows
, Dear Dick: | went to see the pres
ident the other day about this Con-
troller bay affair. The president
asked me whom | represented. I told
him, according to our agreement that
I represented myC,lf. But that didn't
seem to satisfy hlm. So sent for
Charlie Taft and asked him TO tell
his brothesr who 1t was really repre-.
sented. The president made no fur
ther objection to my claim.
Yours, DICK"
Miss Abbott said that she found the
postscript quoted In the Official files
at the interior department.
Miss Abbott charges that Secretary
OF the Interior Fisher o. KID papers
In the case without investigating the
situation. II is understood the Gug-
genheims had advance information OF
the presidents order opening the lands
to entry and seized them before any
one else had the slightest chance.
The charges made by Miss Abbott
unquestionably will be made a feature
OF the impending congressional In
yestigation which is being demanded
by Senator Poindexter, ,(Rep., Wash. }.

LAURENCE QUITS As
ARMORY MANAGER
Promptly Resigns When Displaced
As Treasurer IAN Enemy's
Work, He Says.

Capt. w. ]. Laurence, OF Co. B., Of
the Detroit Light Guard, has ten
dered his resignation as manager OF
the Light Guarti armory, to take ef-
feet July Is. He will be succeeded by
Maj. John s. Bersey, who was pro-
posed by Capt. Laurence himself.
The captains resignation was ac-
cepted with great reluctance by the
board of directors of the Detroit Ar
mory corporation, which comprises
both the Detroit Light Guard and the
Detroit Light Infantry since the
amalgamation some time ago, In the
adjourned annual meeting, Thursday
night. Friends Of the captain urged
him to remain for the good OF the ar
mory, at least until the extensive ad-
ditions to the building, now under
way, are completed. but Lawrence was
deaf to their pleadings. Even after q
motion had been put, to lay the resig-
nation on the table indefinitely, he In
sisted ON its acceptance and carried
the day. ...-,.......sv 74aA, :,
Capt. Laurence's action Is sequel
to the election OF Capt M. B. Hance,
OF Co. X, OF the Light Infantry bat
talon. to succeed him as treasurer, an
ONCE he has held with honor for more
than six years. Friends Of Laurence
say the election of Hance was brought
about by an enemy of the former to
satisfy q personal grudge Of long
standing, and that the directors rep
resenting the Light Infantry division,
who made Capt. Hance's election pos
sible, did not know they were aiding
In any such scheme.
Capt. Laurence. however, saw the
hand of his enemy In the attempt 10
elect another man and regarded II as
an attempt to cast reflections on his
integrity. whereas there has never
been a more conscientious officer con
nected with the armory. He saw thai
the other side had the votes, 80 ne
turned In and voted for his opponent
But he had already decided on hts
course. Rather than go to the troupie
of explaining to his friends how 4
hapv ened, he decided to send In his
resignation as manager and retire
from any further connection with the
active management Of the armory.
