ence with Attorney General McReynolds

agreement will be reached which will
leave the officers of the company free
to put their time and energy into con-

partment under Mr.. McReynolds has
been not to lay down rule of action
for corporations TO follow, but rather
to encourage them to submit their own
suggestion, which might be used as a
basis for reaching agreement. This pro-

Money J0Oed
by Making Your Cough
Syrup at Home


Cough medicines, as a rule, contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of graduated sugar, add
- pint of warm water and stir about
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 21s ounces OF
Pinex fifty cents WORTHY in a pint
bottle, and fill it up with the Sugar
Syrup, you will have as much cough
syrup as you could buy ready made for
$3.50. Take a teaspoonful every one,
two or three hours. 1t keeps perfectly.
You will find it one Of the best cough
syrups you ever used--eyen in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold
usually conquers an ordinary cough in

has good tonic effect, and the taste

Pinex is a most valuable concentra-
ted compound of Norway white pine
extract, rich in guaiacol and other

ration will work in this formula.
This plan for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used in more homes than any other

initiated but never successfully.

IN SECRET
RETREAT
Miss Branch Leaves Month
cello Jail in Auto
mobile
SHE CONFERS
WITH LAWYER
She Plans to Wind Up Her
Affairs and Go West
Soon

Monticello, N. Y, Dec. 30.--Adelaide
NJ. Branch, who for three years lived in
small compartment partitioned off
from the office of Melvin H. Couch and
whose strange relations with the former
district attorney were revealed at the
latter's death a few days ago, is now
reported to be in sanitarisn about ten
miles from this city.
Miss Branch, it is understood, will re-
main in the vicinity of Monticello until
she succeeds in disposing of the $3.50 in
GlIadoId uodn sBq GUS qolqm soSnSlIom
here. She then will go West to visit
her brother, William O. Branch who is
principal of the high school in Palmer,
Iowa.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Sunday morn
in, Sheriff Frank L. Kinnie and Howard
Beechie, one of his deputies, removed
Miss Branch from the hospital room in
the Jail budding. 1t is generally believed
that Miss Branch is now in retreat
for invalids not far from Monticello.
Late Sunday night Miss Branch asked
to see David S. Avery, who intrusted
much of his legal business to Mr.. Couch
Miss Branch asked Mr.. Avery to dispose
of her mortgages and to wind up sew
eral other business matters which might
hold her in Monticello Mr.. Avery said
yesterday:
Il understood she was going 10 leave
the Jail hospital on Saturday. The au-
tomobile which came for her was fur
nished by her half brother, Herbert
Branch of Hartwick, N. Y. She said
that under no circumstances would she
go to live with her half-brother and that
she intended to rest some place for
week or two. She may have gone West
to join her brothr in Iowa"
Both Sheriff kinnie and Mr.. Avery,
the eX-sheriff. were anxious TO shield
Miss Branch from further publicity and
notoriety and at first refused to admit
she had left the prison. 1t was not until
late Sunday afternoon that Sheriff Kin
ME conceded that she had left the hos
pital ward of the prison.
Miss Branch's persistent refusal to ac-
cept tempting vaudeville and newspaper
offers has increased the sympathy which
the citizens of Monticello already enter
tanned for her. She has refused to be
interviewed and in every way has tried
to avoid publicity, which might further
embarrass the widow and daughter of
Mr.. Couch. As recently as Saturday
afternoon, Miss Branch was importuned
by woman representing New York
magazine and the representative of
moving picture company to assist in the
preparation of story of her life and
in the making OF film of her daily
life in her secret retreat in Coueh's
office.

whether it would be safe to hberate
Harry Kendall Thaw on bail resumed
its sessions here yesterday.
A representative OF William I. Je-

his escape last August, and presented
it to the commission.

hold a public hearing next week, on a
day to be named, at which any and all
persons who have anything to present
against the proposition to liberate the
fugitive on bail will be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard, and it is also prob

that time to show the conduct of Thaw
since he has been in custody in this
state.
This hearing will be limited in its
scope to the terms of the rescript, hand
ed down by Judge Aldrich. and viii be
confined to acts, if any, since his COM

Washington, Dec. 30.--Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey, honorary dean of the
Washington College of Law, yesterday
took sharp issue with the suffragettes,
who would use DR.. Anna Howard Shaw's
plan of passive resistance" to the col
lection of the federal income tax.
"Women should remember that they
receive the protection of the govern
ment," Mrs. Mussey said, "and it is
only right that they should contribute
to the support of system of law and
order in which they share the benefits.
In addition, to this reason, the income
tax was enacted by the aid of legisla-
tors from equal suffrage states, and
therefore suffragists should not hinder
its operation"

Judgment Rendered for Plaintiff in Lum-

In city court yesterday Judgment was
rendered in the case of Clement II. Long,
A Middlesex lumberman, against George
H. Smile and Frank r. Whitney, own
ers of a woodot in Middlesex. The
court fixed the damages at Sl95, which
with costs will amount to S202.0T. The
defendants took an appeal, Waldo III.

in the sum of $50. The trouble was
over the alleged failure on the part OF
the defendants to carry out a contract
said to have been made in regard to the
cutting of timber from the above men
toned woodlot Long claims that he
cut and skidded $4,000 feet of logs for
the defendants on which he placed a
price of 81 per thousand feet or S460
for the work performed, $265 of which
has already been paid him. He sued for
the balance due, Sl95. Mr.. Smile said
Mr.. Long had been stopped from cut
ting logs because of alleged discrepancies
in the count OF logs, and asserted that
if Long insisted on judgment he should
appeal. Judge Harvey rendered the
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff, in
order that the defendants might appeal
and get together on some kind OF a
settlement, as Mr.. Long thought this
might be possible.
