That Is Where Wilson Places Reason For
His Election.

Trenton, n. T., Jan. l4-Governor
Wilson, for whom the majority of the
states in the union yesterday officially
cast their electoral votes for the presi-
dency. proclaimed in speech to the
New Jersey presidential electors that
he interpreted his election as the dis
tinct expression of the progressive inn
pulse Of the country
Il shall not be acting as partisan
when | pick out progressives, and only
progressives, to aid me- the governor
said in analyzing the spirit that he had
said produced his election.
Governor Wilson predicted no divi-
sion in the counsels of the Democratic
party, but foresaw solidarity.
These Democrats he said, ''who
hitherto have been slow to align them
selves with the progressive banner of
the party are everywhere yielding. The
business men of the country, too, are
swinging around to an unselfish and
broader view of their duties to the peo-
pie"
The governor spoke at luncheon Civ
en- for the electors by the Democratic
state committee just before the official
ballot was cast. 1t was the last speech
which he was scheduled to make before
his inauguration.
THE people Of the United States" he
said, have turned their faces in def
mite direction, and any party, any man,
who does not go with them in that
direction, they will reject and they
ought to reject.
II am bidden to interpret as well as
can the purposes of the people of the
United States and to act, so far as my
choice determines the action, only |
through the instrumentality of persons
who also represent that choice. There |
fore ] shall not be acting as parti- |
san when | pick out progressives and |
,nly progressiyes. | shall be acting as
, representative of the people of this
yreat country"

Tabor, the l4-year old adopted daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Il. Tabor of Dustin

way, her skating companion, nearly lost
his life trying to save her last evening

The pond has been frozen for week,
but the warm spell left several arholes,
and just after dusk last night Miss
Tabor and young Bushway skated into
one. A large crowd of children had
skated on the pond after school yester-
day afternoon on the safe ice near the
shore.
Young Bushway, Ia years old. who
had Miss Tabor by the hands, tried to
save her, and as they sank twice she
grabbed hold of him desperately. They
were only about 80 feet from the shore
when the alarm was given, and the other
skaters FASTENED to their assistance.
Marjorie Godbout of Lowell, skater.
on the pond, had a hockey stick and,
crawling out upon the thin ice, showed
the stick toward Bushway and shouted
to him to grab it, Bushway did so as
Miss Tabor sank for the third time and
Godbout pulled him toward the safe ice
and held him until other skaters helped
and dragged Bushway out of the water.
Bushway was overcome by the strug
gle he had in trying to save Miss Tabor
and was helpless when dragged out. He
had swallowed large amount of water,
and it was feared he would suecumb
DIR. L. J. O'Toole had him removed to
his home on Columbus avenue, where he
revived after the physician had worked
over him for an hour. The physician
said last night he would recover.

Master John Gilmartin grappled and
found the body of Miss Tabor an hour
after the drowning. in Is feet of water |
She was a pupil at the Walnut square
school, and young Bushway is in the /
same class at that school.

BUDGED LINER JUST A FOOT.
Then 1t Was Decided To Tighten the
Uranium.

Halifax. N. S., Jan. IA So firm and
fast is the steamer Uranium lodged or
the rocks near Chebucto head where she
ran aground in Sundays fog, that nc
amount of straining by fleet of tugs
pulled her foot towards liberty yes
terday afternoon. After three ineffec-
tua attempts to float her, Captain Eus-
tace decided he would have to tighten
thes hip before she could be extricat.
ed
Of the $50 passengers who were trans
shipped to rescue craft, many left here
for .heir destinations during the day.
The Uranium lies on an almost even
keel with her forward bulkhead stove
in and two more feet of water in il
than she had Sunday night. Captain
Ellstace believes that she viii be pulled
off the rocks and will float when she is
freed. Life belts and preservers lie
heaped on the Uranium's deck, ready for
instant use, for should the wind shift
and the sea run strong, there is dan
ger Nthat she might break in two.
The cargo which Captain Eustaee or
dered removed weighs about 400 toms.
It was while playing good Samari
tan OF the seas that the Uranium came
to grief Captain Eustace said. Bound
from Rotterdam to New York, she
turned out of her way to answer
wireless call for help. The message
came from the steamer Carthagenian;
it said that fire was raging aboard AMI
that the flames were beyond control.
For three days the Uranium CROPPED
through the fog trying to find and sue
cor the burning vessel; then the Cartha-
genian sent word by wireless that the
fire was subdued. The Uranium retraccd
her track, researching the entrance to
Halifax harbor in dense fog. The
Egg Island buoy was sighted, but not
the intervening buoy and without this
to guide her, the Uranium crashed into
I hebucto head light.

WILL TERMINATE ARMIsTIcE.
Commanders Of Allies Forces Are to Re-
ceive Notification.

London, Jan. IA decision definite.
ly to break up the peace conference here
simultaneously with the presentation
TO the Turkish government of the note
from the European powers was reached
to-day by the chiefs of the Balkan al
lies delegation. The allies resolution
will be communicated to Porte in a for.
NAL note.
AT the same time it was decided to in
struct the commanders of the armed
forces of the allies in the field to termi-
nate the armistice, which has been in oper-
alton since December 3. The allies threat
ening note to the Turks will be so
worded that it becomes effective only in
the event of the Ottoman government
refusing to comply with the advice given
1T by the ambassadors of the European
powers. Members of the Balkan league
believe the note declared by the Euro
pean diplomats is so diluted that it re-
qnires mixture of vitalizing tonic, AMI
this they think will be supplied by their
threat to continue hostilitics.
Conflicting reports are current regard
ing conditions in the great fortress at
Adrianople, but it appears that the
Turkish troops and the inhabitants Of
the city are suffering greatly from dis.
ease and the lack Of supplies. They have
been besieged ever since the last
week in October by the Bulgarian troops,
who have since been reinforced by large
bodies of Servians, fresh from their vie
tories ON the other side of the Balkan
peninsula. Before the Tchatalia lines
defending Constantinople, there is a
great army of Bulgarians. Strongly en-
srenched and facing them are large
bodies Of Turkish troops. some of whom
ire remnants of defeated armies, who
led before the advancing Bulgarians and
,thers are fresh troops brought up from
he Turkish provinces in Asia Minor.

GROOMING
HAYES FOR
SENATE
Political Circles Stirred by the Boom
Started for Chief Justice for
Cores Place Too Busy
to Consider Il Now

Muskogee, Okla, Aug 2s-A state
wide boom, launched fog the purpose
of carrying Samuel " Hayes, chief
justice Of the Oklahoma supreme
court, to the seat in the senate now
occupied by Thomas p. Gore, is Great
Ing greater stir in political circles
Just now than anything else on the
horizon.
It is 8 fact well known that a GER
tain group Of Democrats in the state
have been persistent in their efforts
to find a man 10 beat Gore 1t is also
well known that Hayes. besides being
Il lawyer Of more than ordinary abll-
ity Is a shrswd campaigner A Nus
kogee lawyer prominent in politicai
circles, admitted Yesterday that Ls
had been asked by man close to JUS
tice Hayes to not pledge his support
to Gore until he learneS whethe rthe
justice would be a candidate.
Last night, by long distance tele-
phone, Justice Hayes declared that he
could not tell whether he would be a
candidate or not He admitted that
several Democrats had asked him to
run, but said that on account Of a
press Of legal work in the supreme
court he would be unable to consider
the matter for few weeks.
The general impression is that
Hayes would make a strong candidate
and that he would give Gore an inter.
esting race. Hayes has been fre-
qnently mentioned as a congressional
candidate for his district. but has al
ways been content with his position
on the supreme bench.
