Condition of Vice President
Alarms His Physicians.
has ATTACK or HEART DISEASE
Was Induced by Affection Of Kidneys.
Too Weak to Undergo an Operation.
Patient Confined to Bed Most
Of the Time.

Utica, n. Y, Oct. 29.-For the first
time since he was stricken with i'll
ness last spring and was compelled to
abandon his official duties in Wash
ington it is admitted by his physicians
that Vice President James S. sherman
is in an extremely critical condition
and that the outcome cannot at this
time be forecasted.
Shortly before midnight Drs. Peck
and Elsner issued the following state
ment on the vice presidents condition.:
"In answer TO the many inquiries
from all quarters the following state
ment is made:
after consultation In the case Of
Vice President Sherman, the diagnosis
of weakened heart muscles, the result
of overwork. with some kidney involv-
ment is confirmed"
DR.. +. II. Peck, the Sherman family
physician, stated early today that the
vice president was resting more com
fortably than at any time during the
preceding twenty-four hours, but there
was nothing in the doctors statement
to indicate he regarded his patients
condition as measurably improved
since the relapse of a few days ago,
or that strong hope for the ultimate
ranted.
Too Weak For Operation.
Mr. Sherman is confined to his bed
most of the time, though Sunday he
sat up for short period and walked
about the rooms of his home. 1t de-
veloped that DR.. Theodore G. Janeway
of New York was summoned here Sat
urday to consult with DR.. Peck re-
garding Nr. Sherman's condition. 1t is
also stated that the physicians agreed
n surgical operation in the vice presi-
dents case was imperative, but on ac.
count of his weakened condition and
the impossibility of administering an
anaesthetic an operation cannot be per-
formed at present. The operation. it
is believed, is necessary because of the
presence of gallstones. DR.. Elsner OF
Syracuse was at Vice President Sher-
mans bedside last night In consulta-
ton with DR.. Peck, and DIR. Janeway
in New York was brought into the
conference by long distance telephone.
Mr.. Sherman is also suffering from a
heart difficulty, induced by an affec.
tlon Of the kidneys. Two weeks ago
last Friday the vice president regis
tered at his polling place. The effort
sapped his energy. Last Thursday Mr..
Sherman suffered sharp relapse.
All the members of his immediate
family are at the Sherman residence.

GREAT NAVAL REVIEW.

1t is only a coincidence, of course,
that the great naval review was held
in New York harbor at the very time
Europe was being lighted up by the
torch of war. No one, least of all
the United States Government, has
any idea that this country will be
drawn into war, but it Is a satisfac-
ton to know that the Navy, if called
on, would be found ready.
To the hundreds OF thousands who
saw our fighting ships in review 1t
was primarily glorious pageant.
The splendor of the night illumina-
tions, the parades of the blue-jack-
cts, the fine discipline of officers and
men, all contributed to make holi-
day spectacle rarely surpassed, but
overshadowing the pageantry was
the demonstration that the Navy is
trained to the minute" and this as
surance is a real guarantee of peace.
In just a little more than two
years these great fighting ships, and
| others that will then be in commits
sion, will sail out of New York har-
Dor, sweep majestically southwark,
pass through the Panama Canal, and
| in imposing double or triple column
| formation turn their prows north
| W al VI W doolSI III IhO lOI maj OPChlLi ?
Of the Panama-California Exposition
at San Diego; then continue their
course to take a similar part little
later in the San Francisco Exposi-
ton. What the presence OF the
fleet will mean is foreshadowed by
/ the great review which has just TAX
en- place in New York. 1t will be a
sight which will draw people from
all directions and from every land
and no American who has the good
fortune to see it will be able to gaze
on that spectacle without feeling hi!
bosom swell with pride.
The event which is to call fortt
the great naval review of 1915 will
be one of the most significant in al
history. 1t will be the formal open
ing of the Panama Canal, linking to
gether two oceans and giving thu
commerce of the world a short Gu
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
That the whole world is intensely in
terested in the Canals completion
will be evidenced not only by thu
participation of many nations in tn,
twin exposition being prepared t
celebrate the event, but it will b,
further demonstrated by the sending
OF warships from every maritime
country to take part In the naval re
view.

the ironworkers with Ortie McMani-
gal, the confessed dynamiter, and with
the disbursement Of $1,000 per month
to men engaged in dynamiting, was
introduced at the trial in the federal
court, when B. j. Cook, bookkeeper
in the headquarters here from July,
1910, to February, 1911, took the stand
as witness. According to his story,
McManigal visited headquarters on
Aug. 25, 1910, and was in conference
with Ryan for several hours, Ryan
coming out of the room on the occa-
sion and asking If there were any let
ters for McManigal.
Cook also told of a telegram received
from II. W. Legleitner, indicted, of
Pittsburgh, asking Mcnamara If he
could come to headquarters, to which
the latter replied, "Come on; will meet
you"

Jusi as Wedding Was About to Be Per.
formed Nathan Schmidt Begins to
Act Backward and Gets "Cold
Feet"-Charge Of Perjury
Pressed Against Him.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-IIalf an hour
Nathan Schmidt, 1413 South Fourth
street, decided that married life was
not for him. He was held in $1,000
bail for court.
The disappointed iancee, Miss Mary
Sherman, also of 1913 South Fourth
street, accuses Schmidt of obtaining
money by false pretense, breach of
promise and perjury. The hearing
was before Magistrate Hughes, at the
Third aud Dickinson streets police
station.
Wedding guests filled the boarding
houses where Schmidt and his tancee
1--we. and Rabbi Grossman had arrived
to perform the ceremony, when Schmidt
began to grow thoughtful.
81 think maybe better not get mar
ried," he said after a little while. 81
think maybe 1t is not right to marry
My mind, IT has changed. You will
excuse me, please" Schmidt retreated
to the kitchen.
The wedding guests, led by the bride
|
were in vain. II think maybe better
not get married." Schmidt reiterated,
and finally he backed into the yard.
Il think maybe l better not marry"
Schmidt again repeated, as, facing his
fiancee and the guests and still back
ing, he made his way to the gate.
There he turned and slipped into the
alley.
! Abandoning further replies to Miss
Sherman's arguments, he quickened
his pace until it became a run. The
wedding party ran after him. The
men shouted and the women wept.
Gregory, q policeman, heard the COM
motion and saw Schmidt running hard,
his mouth open wide, his breath COM
ing in gasps, his eyes staring. Schmidt
ran plump into his arms.
"a think maybe better not marry"
he managed to say. Gregory warded
off Schmidt's pursuers and took the
man to the police station. The wed
ding party attended the hearing IN a
body.
Schmidt was first accused of dis.
| OrQer1y conduct. de was cleared OF
this and then the bride elect presented
her string of accusations, backing
them up with voluble explanation
Schmidt listened patiently.
Miss Sherman voiced her complaint
at length. She told how she and
Schmidt had been sweethearts in Rus
sia; how she had come here four years
ago, getting work in shirt factory
how she had paid Schmidts passage
across; how she had got him a Job
how she had lent him $500.
"And now he will not marry me,
she ended dismally. II think maybe
l cry" Which she did without further
delay
II think maybe better not marry,
explained Schmidt, still patient.
The charge of perjury agains
Schmidt is based on the allegation tina
although he told immigration official
upon his recent arrival in this countr!
that he was twenty-one he informet
the magistrate that nineteen was hi
age.
