Voices reached him from outside,
echoing in through the high. iron
barred window, but they were distant,
the words indistinguishable. AS his
brain cleared he gave no further
thought to his own predicament. only

suspicion from her. 1t was all a con-

gard with terror, half concealed by
struggling hair, the Identification was
nevertheless complete. The very pit
eousness OF expression appealed to
him. She was not a girl easily fright
ened; no mere promiscuous shooting,
however startling. would have brought
that look to her face. He had seer

thing altogether different. What?
Could It be that Gaskins had wronged
the girl, had insulted her, and that
she, In response, had shot him down?
In the darkness of conjecture there
seemed no other adequate explanation.
The two were intimate; the rumor of
an engagement was already circulat-
Ing about the garrison. And the strick-
en- man had ~endeavored to shift the
blame on him. Hamlin could not be-
iieve this was done through any de-
sire to %in1ure; the Lieutenant had no
cause for personal dislike which
would account for such an accusation.
They had only met once, and then
briefly. There was no rivalry between
them, no ~animosity. To be sure. Gas.
kins had been domineering, threaten

RULES ON USE OF
PARTY DESIGNATION
Assistant Attorney General
Suggests Inspection of
Election Records.
fFrom n staff correspondent.1

TRENTON, N. j., July 1S.-Assist-
ant Attorney General Gaskill In an
opinion today says that if it appears
by an inspection of the records of the
last election for members of the
General Assembly that the Progress
sive (RoosevelD party did not poll
the requisite amount of votes to
qualify the party to participate in
the primaries. Those who desire to
proceed under such a designation are
not within a definition of party
under the primary law.
The opinion is written to John ].
Slater, clerk of Passaic county. Mr.
Slater, contended that Progressive
party candidates had no right to use
the word Roosevelt" in their petit
tions as the Chicago convention off,
cially designated its name as the
Progressive party.
In his opinion Mr.. Gaskill says: IF
a party styled as Progressive (Roose-
velt) party did in fact at the last
election for members of the General
Assembly cast the necessary per
centrum, the party under that name
became entitled to participation in the
primary this year. under the same
name, because the party of that name
and by that name became established
as party within the primary act.
"If however, at the last election for
members of the General Assembly
there was no such part y designation
as Progressive CRoosevelt) party or
If there was such a party designation
and 1t did not cast the requisite vote
the group of citizens under that party
name di not acquire right to partiei-
patton in the primary this year.
ut seems to me. therefore, that the
test is not the action of a conven-
ton, national or otherwise, but the
party designation found upon the
records of the last election for mem
bers of the general assembly, and
IL it appears by such inspection that
here was no such party designation
under which the requisite amount of
votes were cast. Those who now de-
sire to proceed under such a designa-
ton are not within the definition OF
a party under the primary laws and
must proceed in the other methods
provided by the statute to place can
didates in nomination"

MEXICAN STATUS
STILL IN DOUBT
U. S. Will Probably Await Out

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Consid-
grafton of the Mexican situation took
much of the time of the President
and the cabinet at regular session
today.
Secretary Bryan had a long confer
ence with the President before the
other members arrived. Although re-
ports are coming in from various
sources the administration Is looking
forward to flrst-hand information
from Ambassador Wilson, on his way
from Mexico City.
1t was again authoritatively stat
ed today that the attitude of the adj
ministration still was unchanged
1t was reiterated that the cabinet
unanimously was in accord with the
President in waiting a return to stable
conditions before extending recogni-
ton. Several officials stated that the
cabinet had from the beginning been
of the opinion that the changing con-
ditions of Mexican politics warranted
1.-The hands OFF, policy for some time
to come.
Secretary Bryan authorized the
statement that he would cancel any
lecture engagement which would con-
fiict with the conferences next week
he and the President will have with
Ambassador Wilson.
Some of the members of the cabi-
net were not inclined to think any
action would be taken following Am
bassador Wilson's conference, and
reiterated the belief that until cleo
lions were held In Mexico and an
appearance of peace was in sight,
formal recognition probably would
be withheld,

EDISONIA CO.'S PIANO
LEASES CAUSE TANGLE

Piano leases made out In duplicate
and triplicate and In some cases
quadriplicate have caused tangle
that Bankruptcy Referee Edwin G.
Adams and host of lawyers cannot
unravel. Several hours were spent
yesterday exchanging suggestions and
considering various plans, but no
definite line of action was agreed
upon and the matter was postponed
for one month.
The leases were made by the Edi-
sonia Company to cover the sale of
pianos on the instalment plan. The
Edisonia Company is charged with
duplicating and duplicating leases
giving them to banking institutions
as security for money loaned. Each
of the institutions holding these leases
claim priority, and the matter has
resolved itself into a merry mixup.
The leases are valued at 100000.
The Union National Bank alone has
over $4,000 worth of the leases and
the priority of these same leases is
disputed by the II, p. Nelson Com
pany, of Chicago, who also hold sim
iliar leases.
Referee Adams suggested that the
collection of the disputed leases be
left to Frank Long, receiver for the
bankrupt Edisonia Company and the
receipts be distributed after the mat
ter of ownership has been established.
