TOWN RECORDS SAY
IT'S ELLEN WILSON
Presidents Daughter Who Weds
To-day Christened with Plain
Name at MiddletOWn.

Middletovn. Conn, May Gust how
the White House bride will sign the
marriage register at Washington after
her wedding tomorrow will be watched
with interest by people here. VIII she
write her name as Eleanor or as
lust plain and simple Ellen? Or will
she escape the difficulty by merely us
ing the initial E.?
According TO the town records here,
Miss Wilson's name is not Eleanor, but
Ellen. As her pet name when baby
was Nell" no one in Middletown re-
members her as Ellen. nor can any
body recollect when she became
Eleanor.
Miss Wilson was born here october
Is. 1880 President Wilson being at
that time head of the Department OF
Economics at Wesleyan University. In
the town records the entry of the birth
gives the babys name as ELLEN Ran
dolph Wilson
The change of name was evidently
not made by the parents in the next
few months, at any rate, for the
record of the babys baptism at the
North Congregational Church, where
she was christened July 20, 1890, gives
the same name, Ellen Randolph VIII

cation he had attended, and that the
mounted men held jobs that he w1iid
not object TO holding himself"
This is the outset OF new admins
tration of the Police Department" said
the Mayor, and We hope to make 1t an
epoch-makng one The policy will be a
square deal to the men of the depart
ment, and We will ask in return square
deal TO the city.
Commissioner Woods is to be the
Commissioner. and no man in the depart
ment need look 10 the Mayor for special
favors
You have a brilliant honor roll. The
list Of men who have given their lives
this year in defence OF life and prop
erty is not short one. II is a great
pity that among the force Of such ex-
cellence and bravery there should be
some who are not fit, but that is always
the case
We want to help the force eliminate
those who are not fit, and we want each
man TO feel as keen a sense Of shame
at the exposure Of the unftness of
of a member"
Commissioner Woods. after attributing
TO General Bingham's teachings all that
he knew about police work, seconded
Mayor Mitchels remarks I'm regard to
the square deal" He said that the i'm
provement of the force must be brought
about by the force purging itself OF its
unfit members.

in the force" said the Commissioner. re-
ferring II was assumed. 10 Whitman and

TAMMANY'S ZEAL

Fraud Unlikely to Upset Result,
SO Whitman Wants a New Law
Probe Goes on To-day.

Samuel Koenig. president of the Repuo-

the unusual situation which has resulted
from the District Attorneys inquiry into
alleged frauds perpetrated at the constr

BILE to reverse the result of an election

LAWYERS are OF the opinion that even II
District Attorney Whitmans inquiry
shows that the slim majority which car
RED the convention question WAS fraudu-
lent there IS no way to rectify the fraud
under the present law because there is
no candidate TO bring an action. IL is
thought that an honest election Woulu
have defeated the constitutional conVen-
ton.

Two measures which Tammany is SAID
10 favor are the redistricting or New

far as racing and betting are concerned.
Fearing that a Republican Assembly next
