Wilkes Barre. Pa, September 49,
Miss Aida Sullivan, now appearing
here with a vaudeville act, and who
declares she is the daughter of big
Tim Sullivan. declared tonight that
she firmly believes that her father was
murdered before being placed on the
railroad track where he was run over
by a freight train.
II am convinced that my father was
given poison before he was hit by the
train" said Miss Sullivan tonight. Il
am certain that an analysis OF his
organs, If IT is not too late now will
show that he was poisoned. AS soon
az | can return TO New York or perhaps
before. ] shall demand that his body
be eNhumcd and an autopsy performed.
Father always feared that some one
was trying to poison him. at least he
did for the last five or six years. Many
tiricS have known him to refuse food
prepared in his own home because he
feared II had ben poisoned
The fact that the Will which has
been offered for probate makes no pro-
vision FOR me should, | think. be
enough 10 convince any one who knew
Big Tim Sullivan that there was
something peculiar about the making
of the will If he signed such a will
as this. nc was not in his right mind.
for every one knows that he would not
leave one Of his own family penniless."

That He Will

Few Days.
LOOMS UP LARGE
AS A CANDIDATE
Provisional President Will
Throw His Strength to Man
Who Supported Him, and
Who Now Seems to Be
Only One in the Field.
Wilson Views known.

Mexico City, September 1s.-Instruc-
tions have been sent by President
Huerta to General Felix Diaz who now
is in Europe, TO return Immediately to
Mexico. 1t is expected that he Will
sail within a few days
This fact is regarded here as ndi-
eating that General Huerta intends to
abide by the pact signed by the Alneri-
can embassy last February to place no
obstacle in the path of General Diaz
in his candidacy for the presidency
1t is considered possible that General
Huerta Will throw his influence to
Diaz. which would practically insure
MS election. The partisans of Diaz
nave not ceased To labor in his behalf
and assert that they have organized
upwards of 5000 clubs throughout the
republic. Up to the present General
Diaz is the only candidate in the field
Catholic Pnrty Names No Candidate.
The Catholic party, which is the only
big organization likely to put forward
a candidate in opposition, held a con-
Nention several weeks ago and adj
1ourned without naming a candidate
Ihe leaders OF that party have called
another convention for next Sunday
IL is no secret that they favor Huerta.
and In the previous convention they
decided to support the President should
he again become candidate. General
Huerta, however, has given no indi-
cation OF such intention.
Much comment has been caused by
the selection by President Huerta OF
Eduardo Tamariz, one of the most
prominent among the younger leaders
OF the Catholic party, for the portfolio
OF Public Instruction in his Cabinet,
vacated by Jose Maria Lozano, who
has been transferred to the Department

the coming elections.
General T-evina, who was selected
by General Hucrta TO head the mill

Washington. September lS.-Presi-
dent Wilson let IL be known to-day
that he takes the view that there was
nothing in General Huerta's message
TO the Mexican congress last Monday
IN any way inconsistent with the in
terpretation adopted by the United
States of the last note transmitted
by Frederico Gamboa, Mexican Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, to John Lind,
the American envoy
The administration considers that
Huerta. having been declared in the
Gamboa note ineligible to succeed
himself as provisional president, will
not be a candidate In the approaching
elections, and the American govern
ment is prepared at any time TO re-
sume the negotiations through Mr.
Lind on this basis.
No announcement was forthcoming
to-day as TO the policy to be pursued
with respect to the presence of Ameri-
can warshiPs in Mexican waters, but
the official view here is that there VIII
be no dispute on the point when the
authorization for their stay on the
Mexican coast expires next month.

Americans. w. 0. Robertson and Morris

INFLUENCE AND EXAMPLE.

Every community ought to exempli-
fly the enterprise and energy of its
most progressive citizens. The wide
awake citizen ought to see the import
ance of devoting a share of his time
to the public service in aid of his COM
munity. .
Public spirit characterizes the mod
ern successful business man. He re-
alizes that he is indebted to the COM
munity in which he has attained his
success and that the best and most
practical method of meeting his obi
CATION to the community is to take
an active interest in community af-
fairs.
Activities of the disreputable ele
ments in any community are in in
verse proportion to the Indifference of
the respectable citizens. The effect
Of good example is salutary ia the
community as well as in the family.
Moreover, when the citizens of wide
influence-the bankers and merchants
take active part in community de-
velopment the less influentiaI are cas-
lily induced to do likewise for they can
be made to see that their aid and in
fluence are important. Though their
sphere of influence is less extensive
their voice and example are potent,
perhaps more so than their more pros
porous neighbors would be in the same
sphere.
No ones interests are too small to
warrant engaging in the work of COM
munity building. The great strength
of the American army is said to be
due to the fact that each soldier Is an
officer. So when each and every cit
izen is working in community build
ing nothing can long retard its prog.
ress.
