There was an agreement on the SAD
ent point that there must be a Roose-
welt electoral ticket in November and
a state and Congressional ticket IN
der the same leadership. This was
the unanimous feeling. IL absence of
dissent indicates unanimity.
Mr.. Record agreed that the circum-
stances justified a fight in the pri-
MARY and then a bolt if the Roose-
welt men should fail in the fight. His
position was not attacked. Mr.. Re-
cord made a plausible argument in
behalf of his plan.
Former Senator Everett Colby, who
believes in severing all semblance of
relationship with the Republican
party, was o present to take issue
with the Record idea. Former Gov
ernor Fort told questioners frankly
that his keynote speech as convention
chairman advocated the formation of
a third party now.

LEADERS OF STATE
c. 0. P. SEEKING
TO GUST WHITING
Ex- Governor Murphy Sug.
gested for His Place on
National Committee.

Efforts will be made by the Re-
publican committee in conference al
the Washington today to devise ways
and means Of ousting Borden D..
Whiting as a member of the National
Republican Committee.
Mr.. Whiting was selected as a ma
tional committeeman by the Repub-
licans of this section, and it is
claimed that he has now forfeited his
right to serve, inasmuch as he has
announced himself as in favor of
Roosevelt and against Taft.
1t is thought that when the ap-
peal is made to the national com
mittee by the local organization the
name of former Governor Franklin
Murphy will be substituted. Mr..
Murphy is a personal friend and
staunch supporter of President Taft.
Edward w. Gray was authority for
the statement just before luncheon
was served that United States SEN
ator Frank o. Briggs would remain
as State chairman. There has been
some talk recently of the senator be-
ing ousted from this position, but
Mr.. Gray declared that there was no
truth in the report.
Following the luncheon those pres
ent will take up the question of the
Taft campaign in this section of the
State. Plans will be laid and a gen.
eral procedure decided upon

TEN-YEAR-O[D BOY

WAY INTO STORE
Steals Cigarettes, Cakes and
Soda Water Enough to
Supply Excursion.
BOOTY IS DIVIDED AMONG
YOUTHS OF N~EIGHBORHOOD
Remains of Loot Found in Coal
Bin After Boys
Arrest.

After ~tunnelilg under the rear wall
of the grocery store of Jacob Fisch-
man, at 81 Monroe street, two boys
made their way to the main part of
the store and stole cigarettes, cakes
and soda water enough to supply an
excursion.
The boys were Jerry Tortorello, IS
Monroe street, 10 years old, and
leader of a small gang, and Dewey
Lebridge, of "a Monroe street, 10
years old. Jerry is known as
Tough Guy.
Tunnel Under Wall.
The boys, according to t'isch;nsn,
dug a tunnel under the back shed D;
the store, which allowed them to
come up into a rear room - meeting
with the main store. Fifty packages
of cigarettes, one large can Of cakes
and six bottles of soda water were
stolen. Some of the lot was later
found in the coal bin of the Torto-
relic home and was returned to the
grocer.
Anthony T%ortorello, an older brother
of Tough Guy" Jerry, took the
young chap out in the back lot and
gave him a good licking yesterday
before Plainclothesman Adubato and
John L. Miller tool him with Dewey
to the House of Detention.
The boys entered the store on Sun
day afternoon and carted their booty
over the fence to No. "a in full sight
of a dozen youths in the neighbor-
hood.
Divide the Loot.
There was subsequently a great d.
vision of booty. Many of the lads,
the oldest not over IL, went over to
Ferry street out of vision of home
and there the cigarettes were passed
around. More than twenty-five pack
ages went up in smoke.
Yesterday morning when Fischman
opened his store he discovered his
loss, and an investigation showed the
novel method the intruders had pro-
vided to gain entrance.
The boys in the neighborhood as
sert that the Tortorello lad is the
leader among them and that he was
the only one to enter the store. His
father Is dead, and at present his
mother is at Coney Island. He was
in charge of his older brother.
The boys will be held for the Juve-
nile Court.

TRIES SUICIDE BY
HANGING IN CELL
Prisoner Who Claims He's Gen.
Miles's Nephew Rescued
by Doorman.

His mind apparently unbalanced
by the use of drugs, Harry ChiIds,
So years old. who claims to be a
nephew of General Nelson A. Miles,
attempted suicide today by hanging
from the bars in a cell in the Third
precinct police station. His act. how
ever. was discovered in time, and
he was cut down before he was Sc
riously injured. He said he was
tired of living.
Childs claimed that he had been
hayward since boyhood. For some
time past he has beer b~rooding over
the life he has led.
Found Acting Strangely.
Last night Childs was found acting
SO strangely on the streets that he
was locked up for s~afe-keeping. This
was shortly after midnight. Ten
minutes afterwards Doorman Gre
mems in making his rounds found
Childs hanging from the upper bar
of his cell door. He had taken off his
shirt and twisted it into a rope.
Cutting Childs down Cremens

his prisoner, and after relieving him
of everything with which he might
harm himself placed him in a padded
cell.
Held for Grand Jury.
When arraigned before Judge Hahn
he was held in $500 bail to await
the action of the grand jury. He was
committed in default of bonds.
Childs is well educated and appar-
emily of good family. He told the
police that his father is the propri-
etor of a well-known hotel at Provi-
dence. R. l., and also claimed rela-
tionship with General Miles. He
has no home.
