A noble life but written not in any book of

Amongst the list of noted ones
None ever saw her name,
For only her own household knew
The victories she had won,
And none but they could testify.
How well her work was done.

HITS G. O. P. PLATFORM
GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS
HAS OWN PLANKS.
Convention Rejects Candidate for
Governors Proposals for Imml-
grafton and Women's Wage.

Boston, Oct Representative Au-
the state committee, declared at the
end Of a sharp fight in the Republican
state convention that he would run
on a platform of his own. He would
fulfill, he said, his campaign prom
ises to the $4,000 voters that nominal
ed him at the primaries.
When the resolutions committee an
nounced the wording of it's platform
declaration on immigration Mr. Gard
ner declared he would oppose it on
the floor Of the convention. The COM
mitee's report was:
"We believe that some system
should be devised whereby undesira.
BILE aliens should be entirely excluded
and that desirable aliens should be
more carefully distributed throughout
the country"
Mr.. Gardner favored a direct dec
laration in favor of restriction. He
was beaten overwhelmingly in an at
tempt to substitute another plank for
the committees.
The convention also rejected Gard
ner's amendment to the committees
plank favoring the establishment OF
a minimum wage system. Gardner
wished to extend the system to wom-
en- and enlarge the powers Of the
minimum wage committee.
Since candidates for state Offices
had been nominated by direct pri-
maries, the only work of the conven-
ton was to adopt platform.
Without discordant note the Dem
ocratie state convention unanimously
adopted platform prepared by the
resolutions committee and indorsed
the state ticket headed by Lieut.. Gov.
David l. Walsh, which was nominated
in the primaries. A resolution pro-
testing against the appointment Of
men to federal positions without
presidential consultation with state
party leaders was defeated in commit
tee.

HELEN KELLER WARNS
WILSON OF BETRAYAL
Blind Girl Believes President
Will Fail Because of His
Party's Nonsupport.

IF |, without the use of sighJ Or the
slightest sense of sound can appreciate
the beauties OF iarr: and through ,ny
fingers see flowers and sculpture with
exquisite enjoyment. how much more
should enjoy beauty who can see and
'!rar.'
Thus spoke Helen Keller. who by her
wonderful mastery of blindness and
deafness, has made herself one of the
grea: figures of progress in the world
today. She did not write her sentences
nor use her fingers in talking. she
spoke.
When the representative of The Times
called at the home of DR.. Philip S.
Smith. in Cleveland Park today. DR..
Smith net hIri at IN" door and sari
he would find Miss Keller in a minute
or two. Then il WAS discovered thai
Miss Keller was not in thc nou . nor
in the yard which surrounds II.
Was Looking" at Tulips.
To the reporters surprise. no undue
excitement was caused bv the absence
of Miss Keller, but Mrs. Keller, her
mother. who is with her. stated that
she frequently made little excursions
with some companion, and it was
thought that she had gone over to a
neighbor's After a short while Miss
Keller returned.
Il have been enjoying myself look
ing at some tulips which have bloomed
over night" she said in explanation of
her absence.
Il take the most exquisite enjoyment
in flowers" said Miss Keller: Il think
see. / don't know, of course, how much
they can see. but my enjoyment is such
that i don't believe they can see much
more than l can"
Because she has been helped so much
by others. Miss Keller is deeply inter-
ested in the welfare of man. She wants
to see the people enjoying better con-
ditions. The condition of the people. she
believes, is now comparable to her po-
sition before her dear friend and teach
er. Mrs. Macy, took charge of her edu-
cation.
Il want to see a great democracy"
she said. Not a political party, but a
condition. But / am afraid that one
man cannot do it all by himself"
Believes Wilson Great Man.
President Wilson is to my mind a
great man and a sincere man, and he Is
going to do everything in his power to
remedy the present conditions. but his
party will not stand back of him. Men,
bers of it are already falling out on the
tariff question. and soon he will be very
much alone. The trusts are too power
full for one man to cope with, and al
though President Wilson is going to
make the greatest fight of his life. he
will ultimately be beaten"
Miss Keller hears with her fingers.
When a person wishes to ask ques-
tion she places her forefnger dag
onally across his mouth. and from the
motion of the lips tells her what he
is asking. In replying she speaks
just like anybody else. She learned
to speak by feeling the lips and the
muscles of the throat of other per-
sons while they were speaking. and
finally got her own throat and lips to
make the same motions.
Miss Keller will deliver an address
in the Belasco Theater tonight on
The Heart and the Hand She will
speak herself and not through an in
terpreter. and there will be no diff
Guilty in understanding her.

BRYAN IS PROUDEST
HORSEMAN IN CITY
"Rex," His Pet Saddle Animal,
Has Arrived From West to
Astonish Capital.

Secretary of State Bryan is the
proudest horseman in town today. Rex
is here, and. Rex meaning king and
being horse, 1t is inferred both from
his name and the manner in which his
distinguished owner regards him that
he bids fair to become the regal light
OF local horsedom. Rex is q chestnut
sorrel gelding from Nebraska and VIII
make the blooded animals of the East
sit up and notice him.
Secretary Bryan Is not boastful about
his pet. He merely talks of him like
a father who thinks his only Son Is
the only son. Rex will be used first. 1t
is said to take conceit out of Senator
Vardaman of Mississippi. who has been
boasting of a piece of horseflesh from
his State. which the Senator recently
brought to Washington.
There is some talk of getting the two
statesmen together on their steeds for
a mile straightaway race. The Wash
ington Riding and Hunt Club governors,
il is rumored. will hang up a hand
some purse for the winner. AS neither
of the horses are known in this se"
ton Congress is at a loss concerning
odds. The race is merely rumored
however. and no confirmation can be
had from either side.

DR.. CLARKE'S HEIRS LOSE
Decision of Court of Appeals
on Home and Office of
TIE. Waggaman.

The. heirs of DIR. Daniel B. Clarke,
father-in-law of the late Thomas E. Wag-
gaman. may not >take title to premises
917 F. street northwest and $500 o street
northwest. the former Office and home
of Waggaman, under a deed held by
DR.. Clarke to be recorded in the event
the broker failed to pay his father-in-
law a debt of $4,000 due by him.
This is the purport of decision Of
the District Court of Appeals today, rem
dered by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel. in
which the decree of the District Supreme
Court is reversed. The case is remanded
with directions to grant the request of
Fl. Rozier Dulany. trustee in bankruptcy,
representing the general creditors, that
the deed to the two properties be set
aside.
The appellate court holds that the con-
yeyance from Waggaman to DR.. Clarke
operated only as mortgage. and, though
the element of bad faith did not enter
into its execution, it stood, within the
neriod of four months before the bank
ruptcy Of Waggaman. merely as an un-
recorded lien upon the property de-
scribed still in the possession of Wagga-
man. and, as such, constituted in law a
preference in fraud Of other creditors.
Though valid as between the parties, the
court, holds the deed was void as to
creditors and the trustee was the proper
party to bring the action to establish its
fnvalidity.
