SAYS J. HENRY
 MADE PROMISE
WOULD SEVER CONNECTION WITH LOBBY IE' ELECTED
 CHAIRMAN, AL&OP DECLARES.
TELLS OF VOTE IN APRIL
Voted For Roraback Because He Pre- ferred Him to Uilnan-Kenealy
 Combination.

New Britain, Oct. 23.-In letter to the Herald, Senator Joseph w. AIsop, replying to A. J. Sloper, who criticfs- ed him for voting for J. Henry Rora- back as chairman of the Republican state committee, says that Roraback promised him that if he were elected chairman he would sever his alleged connection with the lobby interests. Alsop's letter, in part, follows:
 The second paragraph of his letter seeks to convey the impression that sought secretly to cast my vote for Mir. Roraback. that that motion was defeated and that then I had to vote that 1t was practically my vote which elected Mir. Horaback. In the first place, neither MT. Sloper nor any oth- CT man would know how had voted unless I openly stated myself that I hod voted for MT. Roraback, as the vote was taken by secret ballot. In vote that practically elected MT. Rora- back than it was that of any of the other nineteen members of the com mite mittse who voted for him. The vote back, as I said at the time, for two reasons, the first being that he gave me his promise that if he were elected chairman of the state central conn mittee he would sever completely all his lobby relations: the second being that I had very clear understand Ing, IT MT. ROraOack were elected ana the Ullnan-Kenealy machine defeat ed, that in a short time MT. Roraback would resign and his position would be taken by an entirely different type of man, who would put the affairs of the Republican party in very differ ent light with the public by the mere weight of his name and reputation.
 ber that as a member of the state cen- tral committee, with vote to cast, my choice lay between the U1lman faction of the party, Of which MT. Sloper was Supporter. and tha Me- Lean faction of the party, whose cam didate was Mir. Roraback. Doubtless, had the Angel Gabriel been a candi- date for chairman of the state cen-i tral committee, would have voted for him, but he was not, and I cast my vote. as I have always endeavored to do in politics. for the side which seemed to me to offer the best hope of better things, and MT. Slopers side was not that side, in my Hnind.''

S4OO,OOO YALE
 GIFT TIED UP
INVOLVED IN ESTATE OF A. S. BALDWIN OVER WHICH HEIRS
 ARE FIGHTING.

New York, Oct. 23-To protect be- quests of $400, 900 to Yale University, $50. GOO to Christ Hospital in Jersey City. and $10,0o0 to the Emergency Hospital in Washington, D. C., con- tained in the will of United States Senator John R. McPherson of New Jersey, Surrogate Cohalan has ap- W. Churchill as temporary admfnistra- tors of the estate of the late Aaron Stockholm Baldwin, who was one of the Senators executors.
 The argument which led to the ap- pointment disclosed a complicated tes- tamentary history. Senator McPher- son left about $500, 900 of his estate in tF@st for his wife, Mrs. Edna J. Mo Pnerson, and his young daughter. Both of these beneficiaries died. the daughter before her mother, and in provisions of her husbands will. un- der which Baldwin, who was a Ho- boken politician, received a life inter- est in the estate and by which Yale made the ultimate beneftciaries. Mir. Baldwin's will formally ratified the wishes of. the McPhersons.
 MT. Baldwin himself left an estate of about $100,000, which is the subject of a contest by seven nephews and nieces. He left a life interest in $20,- 900 to one nephew and $10,0O0 to a niece. but gave the rest of his estate. some $70.o00, to unrelated persons Emma V. Wright, one of the object ing nieces, presented to Surrogate Coha1an an affidavit stating that Read G. DilwortF, one of these unre- lated beneficiaries, was the lawyer who drew up the will.
 Miss Wright asked the Surrogate to appoint temporary administrator. This was objected to by counsel for the executors, who feared that this procedure would disturb the vast trusts of which MT. Baldwin was GUS todian. The Surrogate got the con- sent of lawyers appearing for Yale Day and Churchill

THE CODE OF THE MALE

The murder of Rose Buonorno is surrounded by unusual and dramatic incident, but, in the present state of the too common sordid tragedy o the male averaging the infidelity of his mate by taking her life.
 Such murders flow from brutal, instinct in primitive men, which is an inheritance from the aninaa1istic side of life, running back to the time when our ancestors were little superior to the other brutes about them.
 And this instinct to kill for such a cause became confirmed into male code of honor in certain societies In some countries the code still exists, but in most it has perished with the growth of intellect and the spiritual nature in man.
 Othe11o, whom Shakespeare makes a person of much nobility, did not dis dain to smother his wife upon evil dence that a day 1aborer would refuse to accept as warrant for destroying a neighbor's dog suspected of chas- ing chickens.
 Happily, so far as most of. the world is concerned, neither inherited instinct, nor acquired sentiments of false hon or move the great majority of men to the staying of women for offenses against conjugality.
 When an individual is found of a type so ancient, Or code so repre- hensibIe, the best that can be desired for him, and for the society which he injures, is a speedy trial and the early termination of his power to do evil.

Three years later Schrotter of Vienna produced his amorphous phosphorus. by heating ordinary phos- phorus in a gas which it cannot ab- sorb, and the use of matches was thereby rendered less dangerous, and the manufacture less unhealthy.

In early life Andrew and his brother John both loved and were rejected by the daughter of a neigh bor. This caused enmity which prov ed lifelong between the brothers and drove them to the life of hermits.
 E They divided in half Mason.s Island. which they had inherited from their father and there for over fifty years each lived on his own portion without intercourse one with, the other, and having as little as possible to do with the rest of the world.
