DEATH SENTENCE DETERRENT.
That Is What Dr. B, H. Stone Has Been
Led to Believe.

Burlington July l6. DR.. b. II. Stone,
director Of the state laboratory Of hv-
giene, said yesterday in commenting on
the work of the laboratory that \
marked dropping off in the number of
cases of violence in the state had been
noted since Arthur Bosworth was con
victed of the killing of Mae LaBellc 5nd
sentenced to death by hanging The
laboratory is called on to investigate
many cases where death results from
violence or foul play, and mp to the time
of the Bosworth case the institution was
kept very busy with cases in all parts
of the state. DR.. Stone said that while
the sudden dropping off OF such cases
might be mere coincidence, he was in
clined to think that the verdict in the
Bosworth case had a direct influence on
the conditions of recent months The
business at the laboratory at present IS
very quiet.

ROOSEVELT AT ODDS
WITH SOME OF HIS MEN
Refused to Acquiesce in Plan to Effect
an Agreement With Regular Re-
publican in Any State.

Oyster Bay, July 49, Formation Of
distinct and independent party, and
not the capture of the Republican party,
is the course which Colonel Roosevelt
laid out for himself last night. He
took issue fatty with supporters of his
who have advanced a proposal for ef-
fecting an agreement with the Repub-
lican organization in some states through
which, under certain conditions. the
strength of the Roosevelt following
might be thrown behind President Taft.
The colonel viii have none of it.
"I shall not aequesce," he said.
Col. Roosevelt made it clear that he
had decided upon a thorough going fight
Independent of alliance with either party,
which will put him in position to ap-
peal to Democrats as well as Republi-
cans. In states in which his followers
have control of the Republican organza-
tion he is ready to carry on his cam
paign through that medium, as he would
do through the Democratic party, he
said, if similar situation should de-
velop within that party. But he will
sanction no entangling agreements. NO
compromise" is to be his battle cry,
as it was in the campaign for the Re
pubil1dH iVl
The former president was prompted
to make his position definitely known
by reports that in several states, not
ably Pennsylvania and Maryland,
movement was on foot to have the same
candidates for electors on both the Taft
and Roosevelt tickets, with the agree
ment that the ticket which received the
larger number of votes should obtain the
entire electoral vote of the state af-
fected. William Flynn of Pittsburg and
other Roosevelt leaders in Pennsylvania.
the ex-president heard had announced
themselves as favoring the plan with
the idea that by this method the Roose-
velt and Taft strength would be united
against the Democratic ticket The col
onel said emphatically that there would
be no bargaining of this nature if he
could prevent.
Colonel Roosevelt said he was per-
fectly willing to have the same cleo
tors on both the Republican and the ma
tonal progressive tickets so long as his
supporters did not agree that the entire
electoral vote of state should go to
President Taft if the Republican ticket
should receive the greater number of
votes. Under such conditions any cleo
tors on the Republican ticket who wished
to vote for Roosevelt would be free
to do so.

fore an arbitration commission yesterday

ferences which recently threatened to re-
suit in a strike. that. it was claimed,

conditions for engineers are involved.

brought to bear to have the controversy
arbitrated.

claims chiefly upon two grounds, the
responsibility of the engineers while on
duty and the skill required of an engi-
neer. He pointed out that the engineer
must pass a rigid examination and be
pronounced physically perfect before he
is given charge of an engine.
Insurance statistics showed Mr.. Stone
continued, that the average working life
of a locomotive engineer is only IL years
and seven days, and he added that if a
man has only that much labor to sell he
should be paid more than living wage.
Mr. Stone had not finished outlining his
case when the committee adjourned for
the day.

scented by B. A. Worthington. president
of the Chicago & Alton. o. F. Butterfieh,
