her house in the course of an afternoon
automobile ride, to ask after Mrs. Tu-

her husband his secretary, and most es-

Tumulty children.

Jessie Wilson was married to Francis
B. Sayre last November. little Mary
Tumulty was about as keenly interested
in the details of the wedding prepare
tons as was the bride herself. She re-
ceived, at the particular request Of Miss
Wilson, an invitation addressed especially
to her tiny self. And when the hour for
the wedding arrived little Miss Tumulty,

curls IN order, her eyes shining with ex-

A reader of The Day Book writes,
Dear Mister Jim Nance,
I'd thank you if you'd settle now
A little bet FOR me.

won't,
We girls just bet. you will.
Below you'll find our little bet,
Come on now, where's your skill?

piece of poetry about Oshkosh, Wis.,,
and about Will Jeff ever be as big as
Mutt?'")

CONGRESSIONAL PRoBERS TO
DENOUNCE MINE BOSSES
Washington, March 13.-Congres-
sional probers of the Calumet copper
strike indicated today upon their re-
turn to this city that the report will
bitterly denounce the mine owners of
he Michigan peninsula.
Chairman Taylor holly scored
mine owners for their insistent de-
mand that miners give UP their union
cards as the price of peace and for
importing armed guards.
He said the committee plans to
delVe deeper before it makes its re-
port to the House May l. To this end,
it will go over the Calumet-Hecla
1Company's books at Boston,, and lis
ten to the appeal of John Mitchell. d
'It is an un-American proposition
to deny man the right to belong to a
union,' Taylor said. The citizens
alliance is working along the line of
driving the Western Federation of
Miners off the map" So
The subcommittee will recon-
mend to Congress a law prohibiting
agencies from shipping armed guards
from out state to another. Further,
it will ask for regulations bearing on
working conditions in corporations as
vast as the Calumet-Hecla

MACHINE States
Win IN new YORK
GIynn, Democrat. and Whitman,
Republican. Nominated.
Davenport and Sulzer Run Neck and
Neck on Progressive Ticket, Tam
many Candidates Successful.

New York, Sept 29.-So-called "or-
ganization" candidates APPARENTLY
swept the boards in the statewide
primary yesterday for every nomina-
ton except United States senator on
the Republican ticket.
With practically all of the New
York city vote and seventh Of the
upstate vote in early this morning. it
seemed certain that Governor Martin
III. Glynn was the Democratic guber-
material nominee and District Attor-
ney Charles $. Whitman, the Repub-
lican.
Former Governor William Sulzer
and former State Senator Fred
Davenport were running close to-
gether for the Progressive guberna-
torial nomination and both claiming
the victory.
James W. Gerard, ambassador to
Germany. led Franklin ID. Roosevelt
by wide margin for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
while James S. McDonough was third.
The Republican senatorial nomina-
ton was somewhat in doubt. William
NJ Calder piled up a big lead, but
late returns from upstate showed
James w. Wadsworth, Jr., was gain
ing rapidly. cambridge Colby won
an uncontested victory for the Pro-
gressive senatorial nomination.
John A. Hennessy, who headed the
anti-Tammany ticket against Cover
nor Glynn, was gaining in late re-
turns from upstate, but his friend
admitted that he had no chance of
victory
Returns on the congressional con
tests were very incomplete, but those
received Indicated that most Of the
present New York members Of both
parties were renominated.
The Tammany candidates for the
Assembly in New York city appeared
to have won. These included Alfred
z. Smith. the Tammany leader IN the
A Assembly.
The organization candidates for
the State Senate, both Democratic
and Republican, appeared to have
won also. with few exceptions.

ARMIES NEARING BIG CLASH
Hand 10 Hand Battle Espe Wher
Forces Rush-Fight Probably Will
Be Decisive.

London, Sept. 2S.-The Germans
have steadily met assault with
counter-assault until the trenches Of
the opposing armies in France are
only sprinting distance apart. Al
ready there has been some work with
the steel in hand-to-hand conflicts.
but except at a single point where
they forced a passage across the
Meuse, the Germans, half of whose
army is kept busy on the Russian
frontier, had up to last night found il
impossible to break through the hu-
man barrier stretching across
France.
Word from the front describes the
encounters. On one occasion the
French and British held positions
within a quarter of a mile from the
German front, where they were not
in danger from the heavy German
artillery and were sheltered from
the machine guns unless they came
into the open.
French and British on the left wing
have repulsed for days the attacks
Of the Germans who have been
endeavoring to take the allies posi-
tons by assault.
The British. however. did not by
any means bear the whole brunt of
the fighting, for the French troops,
including a division Of the famous
colonial infantry ard the Turcos as
we'll as many battalions of French
regulars and others composed Of
territorial troops, also faced success
fully prolonged attacks, which were
delivered with great ferceness.

After referring TO the Pogroms OF
Russia. the smoking to death OF AL
gerians by France and severe meas
ures adopted in England to punish In
dian mutineers. the diplomat has the
following TO say about the United
States:
And since a large number of Amer
lean papers are siding with Great Brit
ain and France in this affair. viii
permit myself to say that the thought
OF the lynchings which occurred daily
in the United States and the memory
Of the water cures in the Philippines
should make them chary OF attacking
Turkey in accordance with acts OF
savagery committed by her under
provocation compared with which the
economic competition OF an Italian or
the sniping OF Filipino. or even the
outrage Of negro. are as nothing
The Turkish diplomat charged that
England was maneuvering through
diplomacy to get the United States
embroiled In the European fray on the
side OF the allies.
Later A. Rustem Bey gave other in
terviews to the press. commenting
upon subjects OF United States domes-
tic concern. and these were the cause
OF intense annoyance on the part OF
President Wilson.
Through the state department A.
Rustem Bey was courteously asked 10
discontinue his comments.
