Might Get Even With MOSQUITO.

An observer in India has found a
small fly of the nudge class with it's
proboscis inserted in the abdomen of
a mosquito, engaged in sucking the
mosquitoes blood. There is comfort,
If not benefit, in this bit of news.
Why can't we import this nudge? The

SUGAR In Diet.

Speaking of the Importance Of
sugar in children's diet, DR.. Woods
Hutchinson says; "It Is not unlikely
that the almost universal and de-
voutly to be thankful for lack of orav-
ing for alcohol In children and In
women is due largely to the sweet
tooth possessed by them and their in
diligence in candy, cakes, fruit. ice
creams and sweetmeats generally"

POLITICS DAY BY DAY

Gov. Dix of New York is motoring
today to Baltimore for the big conven-
ton. He refused before he started to
say anything in regard to the situation
in the democratic party SO far as the
nomination is concerned. In the auto
mobile party. besides Gov. Dix. are
Mrs. Dix, Commander Dekay, Mrs. Z.
II. Jackson, Mr.. and Mrs. George L. w.
Lew. John Dix Coffin and Thompson
Douglas.
The Clark supporters in Baltimore are
taking no chances of a stampede of the
Baltimore convention to William Jennings
Bryan in the event of deadlock. They
are sending emsSarieS to every delegate
to the convention pledged or instructed
for Speaker Clark urging each man to
pledge himself not to vote for Bryan for
the presidential nomination under any
circumstances, it is said. In this way
they hope to forestall any possible bolt
to Bryan. The fact that Charles w.
Bryan. brother of Col. Bryan, is to ar
rive in Baltimore tonight to take charge
of his brothers interests has made the
Clark people all the more active. Friends
of Col. Bryan in Baltimore are saying
that, if the colonel desires the nomina-
ton, he has made mistake in sending
his brother to the convention city so
early, and that the nomination could only
come to him Ion the spur of the mo-
ment.'

"A Dog for Faithfulness' is the title
of touching animal story, written for
our next Sunday Magazine by Virginia

that dog is better friend of his mas
ter than lots OF men. Says she: did you
ever own a dog? Yes. yes, of course,
family pet and all that: but mean real

has in place OF q soul? Did he come to

Representatives Fitzgerald and Cannon
defended the project to enlarge the Capt.
toll grounds by continuing them north
ward to the Union station yesterday aft
ternoon, toward the close of the discus
sion on the sundry civil BILL and Repre-
sentative Sisson of Mississippi severely
criticised the idea. No conclusion was
reached on the item, as the House, sit

Representative Sisson intimated that
there was too much land speculation con-
cerned in the project, and that the real
owners of the property are hiding behind
the trust companies which hold the land
Representative Fitzgerald reminded the
House that the space between the Capt.
toll grounds and the Union station should
be permanently beautified, and that 1t
would be disgraceful to leave that area
full Of tawdry buildings and cheap eat
ing houses.
Il know of no one he said. who ever
visited this city who bedrudges the eX-
penditure for the proper improvements in
this city. There is not a man in Con-

CONVENTION NOTES AND GOSSIP

mise candidates These rumors have moth
ing back of them except the general de-
sire to draw attention away from the one
great accomplishment of the republican
national convention to date-the over
whelming defeat of Roosevelt.
President Tafts strength in the con-
vention has grown from its first moment.
and the acknowledged defeat of Roose-
welt is adding to it hourly. There is no
one who questions Taft's complete con-
troll of the situation, and there is not the
slightest possibility of even a momentary
consideration of compromise candi-
date. There will be no such candidate
THE extended consideration of the con-
tested cases by the committee on creden-
tials is further evidence of the COM
plete control of every phase of the situa-
ton by President Taft. 1t is his wish
that every opportunity for the complete
presentation of these cases should be
given, that the country may know with
out doubt of the absolute lack of founda-
ton for the extravagant charges of rob
berry and fraud which being reiter-
ated by Roosevelt as he disappears in the
oblivion of defeat"

This talk of bolt Is foolish. Col.

Kansas delegation voted today that It
Would not bolt. and there can be no conn.,

cerned.,' the governor said,
Absolutely No Bolt.
Absolutely no bolt, was the declara-
ton of scores OF the delegates and lead
ers of the Roosevelt forces when they left
the night caucus which Col. Roosevelt
addressed briefly.
We've got to do something with Gov
Johnson. exclaimed delegate as he
rushed up to the party leaders. He has
to be called of. He must not bolt"
''Ohr Johnson will be all right" was
the unanimous reply.
IL developed. however, that the Cali
fornia governor had continued his insist
ent demand that all the Roosevelt dele
gates bolt at once. But he failed.
While events Of the last twenty-four
hours have done much to diminish talk of
a third candidate, there still is some COM
promise talk.
IT fails, however. to crystalline. and ap-
parently is largely the expression of
fayorite son aspiration by the mass of the
delegates.
No Compromise for Taftites.
This compromise talk was the text of a
statement given out by William Barnes.
jr.. last night, which stated without
equivocation that the Taft people were
not considering now and would not con-
slider any compromise.
Senator Dixon last night issued a state
ment claiming that the Taft leaders.
Barnes. Penrose. Crane and the other
so-called Taft leaders" had determined
not to nominate Mr.. Taft, and were
"dickering for compromise candidate.
The statement declared that ten in
structed Taft delegates from one state
had offered to vote for Hughes. that
propositions had been made from the
Taft managers to friends of Senator Cum
minis. and that Gov Hadley had been ap-
proa ched with offers to sacrifice Taft IL he
would accept the nomination.
They are looking for a new man., said
Senator Dixon. They have made
martyr out of Roosevelt, and when YOU
make martyr out of a man he wins.
After this year there will be no ma
tional committee" said Col. Roosevelt in
his speech to the delegates last night.
"All states will have preferential pr-
maries. and the people will decide who
they want for their candidate.

WITNESS IN THAW CASE

Received Thousands of Dol.
I lars, She Says, for Use in
Influencing Others.

WHITE PLAINS. y. Y, June 2l.-A
surprise in the Harry X. Thaw hearing
was sprung by the state yesterday after
noon. In the midst of testimony by
Evelyn Thaw contributing to the states
contention that the slayer of Stanford
White is still insane, William T. Jerome,
the leading attorney. for the state. sud
denly called to the witness stand Mrs
Susan Merrill to tell of Thaw's life when
he roOmed at various houses which she
kept in the theatrical district of New
York.
Clarence j. Shearn. attorney for Thaw.
endeavored to discredit the woman's tes-
timony by referring to the fact that she
was committed for perjury when Mr..
Jerome was district attorney for New
York. The pending indictment was dis
missed after she had testified for the
state against Thaw at his trials.
An Unwilling Witness.
Mrs. Merrill was a very unwilling wit
ness. in contrast to her previous appear
ances. She had been kept in hiding in
an anteroom at the courthouse and when
the state decided to produce her she
screamed SO loudly that those who crowd
ed the courtroom upstairs could hear her.
Her hysteria caused a delay Of two min
utes. and when she was escorted TO the
stand she was still protesting that she
could not testify against Thaw.
She admitted that Thaw roomed at her
houses under an assumed name, and had
many girl callers. On three occasions
she said he had whipped girls there. The
unexpected feature Of her testimony came
when a letter which she wrote. to Thaw at
Matteawan last January was introduced.
She said in 1t that four different men had
called upon her and asked IL she was to
testify at the hearing.
Gives Warning to Thaw.
BE smart" she advised Thaw in the
letter. "A man with millions is working
against you. He wants to keep you up
there because he is a friend of Stanford
Whites
Under pressure of Thaw's attorney, the
witness said. she thought the millionaire
name was Col. Clay
She testified that during Thaw's trial
thousands of dollars had been placed in
her hands by one Of Thaw's counsel to
pay more than 200 girls so that they
would not testify against him. She said
she paid one girl $1,000 and another

CURTIS SCHOOL WINS
Earns City Elementary Athletic
Championship.
GAMES ARE BIG SUCCESS
Trophies and Medals Awarded to
Title Holders in Division and
Individual Events.
GAMES ARE BIG SUCCESS

Grammar school boys TO the number of
S36 competed yesterday afternoon in the
first elementary schools championship
games were decided at the National Capt.
tai Horse Show grounds. and eighty nine
schools We're represented.
The city championship was won by
Curtis School, with - points, this school
also being champion Of its division. The
other point winners in the city cham
pionship were Emery School, IA: Force,
IA; Adams. 13 SO; Polk. j.; Pierce, 10;
Hyde, .; Cook, Z; Thompson, 6; Edmonds,
5; Ludlow, ;; Blake, ); Ross, 5. and
Morgan. 4 1-3.
Owing to the fact that the games had
been postponed from last Saturday and a
slight unexplained misunderstanding as
to the time of holding them, the au-
dience that watched the numerous events
was not SO large as had been expected,
although the management, the Play
grounds Association and the Boy Scouts
lose nothing by reason of this, as every
available seat had been sold, even though
all were not occupied.
Some delay in starting the games was
occasioned by the absence of a number
of the officials who were to have acted. it
being necessary to obtain substitutes for
several unable to be in attendance.
In spite of these drawbacks, however,
the games proved an unqualified success,
the fields IN all events, preliminaries,
semi and finals, being large and the
competition keen.
