Roosevelt in the hotel lobbies and the
volunteer glee clubs that are carolling
Roosevelt sentiments through mega
phones, have had their effect.
ON top Of this has come a letter
given out by Senator Dixon, ROOse-

Charles Banks a negro delegate from
Mound Bayo, Miss, returned money
given him by Director william Il. Nc

His open challenge to the Taft leaders

1t was from Alabama that the first
threat of a bolt from the Southern

TWAS \ SWEET GOODBYE
TO THE TOWNS CHILDREN

NEW YORK. Special.-A boy went
Into Otto BOchert's confectionery
store in Queen Anne Road. Bogota.
n. J.. Wednesday and found no one
TO serve him. Nor was anybody in
the Bocherts living rooms in the rear
Of the store. 50 the boy called many
more boys and girls and told them
candy could be had for nothing.
Within half hour a large part Of
the stock was gone. What hadn Z
been eaten was in pockets. A police
man got the news. He found that
Bochert and his wife and children
had deserted their home and store.
No one had seen them go. That the
decision had been sudden seemed to
be shown by the fact that a fire was
burning in the stove
1t was suggested at first that the
Bocherts had met with foul play. but
that suspicion vanquished when "A
neighbOr said BOchert had told him
he was planning to return TO Ger
many to live. No records have been
found TO show the cOnfectiOner was
in debt or that there was any reason
for the sudden departure beyond the
desire TO go back TO the fatherland.
