For Motive Behind
Henning Suit

CHICAGO, July 10.--States Attorney
Wayman today questioned number of
persons believed to have information
bearing on the confession OF sadrs Joss-
'phine HenIiing THAT she had wronged
Clarence s. Funk, general manager Of
the International Harvester company, by
permitting her name to be used In a SUIT
for damages against him by her husband.
John G. Henning, charging alienation of
affections.
One Of the objects Of the questioning
was to ascertain what persons or influ-
ences We're behind the suit against Mr.
Funk, which is now declared to have
been manufactured and baseess of fact
The whereabouts of Henning is still
unknown to the states attorney.
One of the angles on which the prose-
cntor is working Is that Henning long be-
fore the confession declared to a young
woman masseuse that ''she (Mfs. Hem
ning) was mixed up in quarrel between
rich man and a big politician and that
she was getting lot Of easy money by
permitting her name to be used
This phase Of the case is receiving
close attention from the states attorney
Mr.. Funk from the filing Of the Henning
suit has claimed that he was being at
tackled BECAUSE of his testimony in the
Lorimer investigation In which he ac-
cused Edward Hines. Chicago lumbar
man, of soliciting him for contribution
to fund used to aid in the election of
Senator Lorimer

throng of 5000 persons at the laying of
the cornerstone Of the Young Men $
Christian Association building here today,
1t was the democratic nominees first ap-
pearance on the platform since the BaIti-
more convention and the crowl 1heered
him enthusiastically.
The governor was INTRODUCED by John
Wanamaker, former postmaster general,
who referred to him as "Playman and
learned stau man"
The introduction especially the play
man part of II, the governor said, re-
minded him of his favorite limerick,
which he recited thus:
For beauty | am not star;
There are others more handsome by far;
But my face, don't mind 1t,
For I am behind IL;
There are others in front that l Jar.

Patrons Who Violate
Water Boards Order
Will Be Dealt With

Water Commissioner Howell was au-
thorized by the water board yesterday
afternoon to cut of without notice the
water supply of any patron found violat-
ing the orders prohibiting sprinkling ex-
cept between the hours of and o'clock
in the morning.
Before vote was taken on the resolu-
tion comforting this authority Charles R.
Sherman suggested that the statutes be
examined to determine If the board had
such power.
Patrons of the plant who have been
caught by the vigilant water commits
sioners in the act of sprinkling sun
scorched lawns in violation of the rule
may secure water service after it has
been cut off only at the discretion of the
water commissioner.
Residents have been petitioning the
water board to abandon its policy of pro-
hibiting sprinkling in the evenings, but
without effect. Improvement clubs, it is
understood, are seriously considering the
advisability of contesting the enforcement
of the ruling.
Commissioner Howell can promise no
relief until the Florence water main is
completed, which viii not be in time to
relieve the situation this eyar.

In that State.

WASHINGTON, July 10-President Taft
conferred today with Chairman Hilles.
Representative Mckinley. Representative
Burke of South Dakota, vice chairman
of the republican committee and Repre-
sentative Moore of Pennsylvania, secre-
tary, over the question of whether an
elector chosen on the republican ticket
could vote In the electoral college for
Colonel Roosevelt, running on a third
party ticket.
In South Dakota the state convention
already had named Roosevelt men on the
republican ticket. Similar action is ex-
pected in other states. The president and
Mr.. Hilles are expected to concentrate
their attention on this question.
'The cardinal plank in the bull moose
platform" said Representative Burke, is
thou shalt not steal but the first thing
that party did In my state was to steal
the republican electoral vote. The state
committee chose for electors men who
have declared for Roosevelt, but they
will 60 on the republican ticket. If they
are elected under the republican banner
they expect to vote for a man who has
deserted the old party and is making
one of his own. In South Dakota we can
petition and put set of Taft electors In
the field, but in many states this is i'm
possible"
Representative. Anthony Of Kansas told
the president after the conference that
Senator Curtis and other Taft leaders In
Kansas expected to fight to prevent
Roosevelt men being chosen as electors
on Taft ticket In the state primaries
August 6
The Taft men in Kansas have Taft
electors in the field, but in case Roose-
welt men are chosen they know of no
remedy to keep them off the republican
ticket which goes before the voters in

OLD PARTIES ARE DENOUNCED
Mike Harrington Decides to Join in
with Third Party.
SAYS CONDITIONS CHANGED
After Demanding Woodrow Wilson'S
Nomination, He Hears the Call
OF AnOthgr Political Party
and Goes to IT.

In lengthy proclamation to the public,
M. F. Harrington, long prominent as a
populist bellwether, then as democratic
leader, explains why after championing
Woodrow Wilson in the primaries he is
going to quit the democrats and follow
Roosevelt into new third party. He IN
sists that both the Chicago and Balti-
more conventions were dominated by the
special interests" and that the election
of Wilson would produce reactionary
administration. The important parts of
the document are:
I'm view of the fact that ! preferred
Woodrow Wilson to any of the other
democratic candidates seeking the demo-
cratic nomination for president, many
have asked me why I prefer to support
Roosevelt rather than Wilson. have
nothing to say of Governor Wilson ex-
cept kind words. He is an able, honest
man. But when the contest came up last
winter as to whether Harmon or Wilson
should have Nebraska, did not hesitate
TO take Wilson's side of 1t, believing him
to be the more progressive. At that time
1t also seemed that the contest this year
would be straight out between the re-
publican and democratic parties and it
seemed morally certain that Taft would
be the republican nominee 1t was a
question of selecting a democrat to beat
Taft and If the contest was to be be-
tween Taft and democrat, then, In, my
judgment, Wilson was. the proper man
to represent the democrats, and ] have
not changed my opinion in that respect.
Conditions Have Changed.
But during the last few weeks a
totally different condition has arisen. The
dominated by the special interests, al
though the progressive republicans in
that convention clearly represented a
majority of the republican voters of the
United States. And how was 1t In the
democratic national convention? The test
vote came there, as 1t did In the repub-
lican national convention, on temporary
chairman. Mr.. Bryan realized that in all
human probability he would be defeated
If he made the race for temporary chair
man. He realized that majority of the
convention was reactionary. He stated
to the convention that he was willing to
be Inundated by defeat in order to give
chance to the progressive democrats to
express, through him, their belief in the
principles for which he had been con-
tending for sixteen years. In other words,
Bryan himself recognized that after six
teen years of trying to make the dem
ocratic party progressive party, ma
jority was still reactionary

that on the nomination for president also

GRANGE DAY AT LYNDON.
Able List of Speakers Secured Fol
Wednesday, Aug. IA

Farmers and those interested in
Better Vermont" have you made
up your mind to spend August a,
1912, in company with your neigh
bors, at the great Grange Day to be
held at Enterprise Grange, No. 16,
Lyndon, Vermont?
A very fine program has been ar
ranged for this meeting and it is
certainly greatly to the benefit of
all live people within 20 miles Of
Lyndon to be present.
Andrew Elliott the great stock
man from Canada will give talk on
the Morgan horse with illustrations
on a good specimen Of the Morgan
type. Those who heard Mr.. Elliott
at Speedwell during the Farmers In
stitute last winter will surely want
to hear him again, and those who
missed his talk on the draft horse
and dairy COW have an opportunity
again to listen to a man that most
certainly knows what he is talking
about.
Mrs. Lydia Parsons of Forest,
Ontario, will also give an interest
ing talk. Mrs. Parsons is a new
speaker to Vermont, and she comes
here with the highest recommends
tions as to her ability. The subject
she will speak on viii. be published
later.
State Commissioner of Agriculture
Orlando L. Martin, is so well known
to all the farmers and people of
Vermont that he needs no further in
PRODUCTION. You may be sure that
his talk will be most interesting and
instructive.
e. HI. .HaIIett of st. Johnsbury
Center, who is known as the best
market gardener IN northern Yer
mont, is also very well known, and
his talk on vegetable gardening for
the home will be greatly appreciat-
ed by all who hear it.
State Fish and Game Commission
er J. w. Titcomb will present an
other industry of Vermont, that IL
attended to, will add greatly to the
revenue and desirability of Vermont.
Mr.. Titcomb is an able, interesting
speaker.
One of the questions that con-
fronts the farmers today in YER
mont is how to use, when to use,
and what form to us lime. Director
A. r. Merrill of the Lyndon Agri-
cultural School will try to help the
farmers in solving this question.
People of this section of Vermont,
farmers or not, can you afford to let
so valuable a public meeting as this
go by without attending it? I think
not. BY August 14th the rush on
the farm will be over for a while,
you and your family will need a day
off. Pack the lunch basket, hitch
up the horses, take the whole family,
and spend the day at Lyndon.
A day well spent is of great value
