NOMINATED IN N. Y;

Progressives Give Davenport
About 2255 Majority.
Gerard Democrats Choice
For Senator = Republican
Outcome in Doubt.

NEW YORK, Sept 2o-The three party
machines apparently were successful i'm
the first popular Statewide primaries
held in New York yesterday according
to latest returns today
The three regular candidates for the
Democratic Republican and Progressive
gubernatorial nominations were named as
expected. They are:
Democrat-Govcrno Martin H. Glynn,
with an estimated plurality of more than
100000 and a probable majority of 5000
over John a. Hcnncssy, the anti-Murphy
candidate.
Republican-District Attorney Charles
$. Whitman, with an estimated plur-
ality of about As 600 or $4,000, margin
that his campaign managers say is sur
prsngly large over Harvey u. Hinman
and Job L. Hedges who ran second and
third respectively.
Prosrcssive-Frcd NJ Davenport,
with a majority of about 22JO over cx-
Governor SuIzer. Tho former executive
was uncontested for the Prohibition
nomination and will be a candidate at
the regular election. Sulzer today re-
fused to admit defeat, saying he would
win IF there is an honest count"
James w. Gerard appears to have won
the Democratic senatorial nomination by
approximately 1l5,OOO with six counties
stll missing. Franklin D. Roosevelt ran
a fair second and James 5. McDonough
third.

by very small margin. Cader's great
strength in Brooklyn and New York, re-
sulting from the regular organization
backing IN those places, is chiefly re-
sponsibie for the closeness of the race.
Bainbndge Colby, Progressive, had no
rival for the Senatorial nomination in
his party.
With returns coming slowly today IL
appears that less than 20 per cent. of
the enrolled voters took advantage OF
the primaries. The Democratic vote. even
IN New York, was not more than 40 per
cent, while the Republican vote was not
more than Une-third of the party en-
rollment.

LOSS OF THE GARTER,
THREAT TO KAISER
BY BRITISH ORDER
Treason to Kni ghth 0 o d
Charged in Effort to De-
prive Austria n Emperor
Also Of Coveted Insignia.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The Kaiser will lose
his garter. Such semiofticlal announce
ment has been made here.
English public opinion will not permit
him to retain the dainty jcweled ribbon
| bestowed upon him by Queen Victoria,
and which carries with it membership in
the Oldest and most exclusive order of
chivalry in the wOrld-thc Most Noble
Grdcr of the Garter.
There is no doubt that the matter of
removing the banners of the Kaiser and
the Crown Prince from the Garter chapel
In Windsor Castle is being considered by
officials. There is no precedent. however
for eXpeling u foreign monarch. High
treason Is the only crime that can justify
expulsion, and the leading authorities
agree that it may be difficult to try one
monarch for treason to another. The
last menber of the order to be ignomini-
ously expelled was John, Duke of Ormond,
a JaCObItc nobleman who saved his neck
by fleeing the country.
Those who insist that the black-eagled
banners in the Garter chapel must be
torn down as unworthy of place among
the historic emhlems hanging over the
knights pews, contend that the Germans
actions at LOuvain, Termonde, Dinant
and elsewhere give ample grounds for
expulsion. They declare the Kaiser Is
surely guilty of treason TO the lofty ideals
Of ChivalTy on which the order Is based
They insist that tho noblest blood of
England, to say nothing of other Euro
pcan monarchs who are members of the
order, cannot continue to regard as a
brother, lover and fellow
to the rules Of the Order-a ruler with
whom they are at war and whom they
hold has broken the laws Of knighthood.
Prince Henry of Prussia and the young
Duke of SaNa- -COburg-Gotha certainly will
almost share the Kaisers fate. Neither
can Emperor Franz Josef we'll be allowed
tC Keep his Garter.
But for the fact that he might be re-
garded as an innocent tool. the Duke of
SaNa-Cohurg-Go Gotha would have short
shrift. Garter -king-of-arms takes a very
grave view of his case. for i'm addition 10

RED LIGHT HIS UND0ING
Policeman Watches lanterns Zig
gag Course, Then Arrest Bearer.

1uto SOulSO, LhGll AIISSJ oedItI.
1t Is generally agreed that there are
lots of honest men in Germantown, but
George Duckit, of Youngstown, Ohio,
who started out to find one early this
morning, la Diogones, had to be sat
isfed with Policeman Kenny, who Is
equal to any emergency.
Kenny saw a red light moving down
Chelten avenue. He noticed that 1t took
a zigzag course and was convinced it
could not be n police patrol. He hid in
the shadow of a building until the light
reached him. Duckie was the bearer,
and as he could give only hazy expla-
nation as to how he got it, the police
man took him and the light to the
Germantown police station
When the prisoner was given hearing
before Magistrate Pennock. it developed
that many other lights in Germantown
were missing. incidentally there came
walls of complaint from a dozen other
prisoners, several declaring that If Duckt
had let the red lights alone last night
they would have been able to reach home
safely.
Duckit disclaimed responsibility for the
disappearance of the other lights The
Magistrate sent him to the House of
Correction for five days.

LIVES OF PHYSICIANS
CUT SHORT BY WORRY
Do Not Live as Long as Men in Other
Callings.

Callings.
little newspaper item, stuck off i'm
one corner OF the page. recently told hov,
doctor had died of apoplexy on the
steps of an elevated railroad station. OF
course, any one might die Of apoplexy:
and yet this cause of death is not as
rare among doctors as in many other
occupations. says the Hygienlc Gazette.
It's a strange thing to say about doc
tors-whose business it Is TO keep other
people well-that as class they are
more subject to Illness than any other
and their expectation of long life Is less
than in most other callings. This pro-
toSsIon has an average of 81 years at
dealh-much too premature in these days
There are several reasons for this:
There Is the anxiety and the RESPONSE
bilities that weigh heavily upon doctors,
VINO are generally men of conscience and
sN mpathy. Then there is the amount
ana the trying nature of most of tho
doctors work-the irregular meals and
the broken rest exposure to the elc-
ments and to infection.
And then there is the scanty pay which
most doctors get for their services. not
to speak of the difficulty of collecting n
great deal of money they have earned:
and when to this is added the fact that
about half Doctors work nowadays Is
done In hospitals and dspensaries for
charity who can wonder at the over
whelming strain 10 which these humane
men are put.
Broken sleep Is one of the most GER
tain causes of the shortened lives of
doctors. What this means can be Judged
by hearing anybody not doctor talk
about how once or twice in his lifetime
he had had his nights rest broken. Pos
sibly he has sat up with the coffin of
dead friend. Maybe he has given a eou-
pie of hours from his rest TO a sick
friend. Or perhaps his wife has needed

Yet such night work Is the common

EXHAUSTED FRENCH TROOPS
CAPTURED HILL BY CHARGE
Regiment Fought 7e Hours and Then
Begged to Finish Work.

PARIS, Sept. 20.
AS an illustration OF the spirit that
anlmates the French regiments the story
is told of an Incident at Soissons, where,
ofter three days incessant fighting, a
single infantry regiment that had as
sauited the enemys position time and
again was compelled to retire. At the
oiose OF the third day, by a bayonet
onarge, they had gained a height which
covered the German position, but the
latter were on neighboring hill, where
tney were busy digging entertainments

colonel to be allowed to finish the work
themselves. Permission was reluctantly
given, and despite their previous 70 hours

eilort, but their pride had been satisfied

SCHOOL CHILDRENS
TRAGEDIES ARE REAL
Funny Little Things That Cause
Childhood Much Sufferinp.

SullunOOd MuCn SUFFERING.
| School is well begun. For several days
| they have gone laughing and quarreling
by-the boys and girls with faces hands
blouses and dresses all clean. Once or
twice they have slipped through back
yards, little hooded. figures taking short
cuts through the autumn rains. There
may be something that Is pathetic, there
Is much that Is joyous about them.
one or two persons have said that It
hlled them with emotion to watch the
children come trooping out of the school
building. Perhaps 1t is because of the
tremendous hope that they represent, all
unconscious, the hope that Is a part of
the parents of every one, perhaps 1t is
Just because they are unconscious of 1t,
that they are little tragic.
The tragedies, which are so much more
interesting, however, because they are
so much more alive, are the funny little
individual tragedies of the children.
Mary Louise has been weeping over her
tragedy for long week. Perhaps she
would not have wept so long II it had
not occurred to her fresh each day.
Josephine is no longer in her ROOM She
would tell you about it the first thing
IL she saw you. Josephine Is not in
her room. and she lives too far away
for evenings and she will just never see
her except on Saturday and there are
so few Saturdays.
Dicky has 4 more common cause for
grief. but it is not entirely unmixed with
happiness. He was a shut-in baby, and
the teacher and her lessons are as moth
ing to him, compared to the things he Is
learning about other boys and girls, who
tease him and make him miserable but
whom he admires above everything
Some of the funniest tragedies are left
at home. Sarah is six and goes to school,
Susan Is only four and stays at home.
Sarah and Susan are aware, not only of
Sarahs superiority but also of Susans
inferority.
Sarah is not content with the pride of
skipping away to school with the big
girls each morning. She insists upon
Susan being her baby when she gets
home. Susan hates being n baby, but
there is nothing else to do, and at any
rate she rejoices that she is not like the
wstful little girl next door who has not
even a sister that can go to school.

After a severe bombardment, the Ger.
mans haveeoccuped Mechlin, about /;
miles south of this city, according to
an official announcement given out today
nv the War Office.
The Germans have been carrying on a
hard bombardment of the forts at Wavre

resumed their march from that place.
The Germans have directed fire of
all their heavy artillery against the
forts of Wavre. st. Catherine and

The city of Alost has suffered con-
siderably from artillery fire. On account
of the German position the Belgian
artillery was compelled to take up
position that allowed shells to drop in
the city. In consequence fire started and
o number of buildings were destroyed.
DAMAGE AT ALOST
Most of the damage at Alost however,
was done by the German artillery which
occupied range of hills south of the
town A correspondent just arriving
from that district says:
Fire did much xdamage in the new
quarter of the city. A church, the col
iege building. the railroad station and a
hospital were all struck by shells early
IN the engagement and set on fire. When
left the bombardment was going on
furiously and smoke was rolling upward

the German guns and compelled the Ger |
mans to retreat.

Cardinals in Rome
Are Preparing For
Election of Pope

Rome, Aug. 25.-In preparation for
the approaching conclave to elect a
successor to Pope Plus Y, the print
ing bureau of the Vatican is getting
out maps which are to be distributed
to. the cardinals, showing each one
where his apartments are to be To-
Gated.
Owing to their feebleness, several of
the cardinals will be permitted to
occupy rooms in the rear of the Sis
tine Chapel. AS they must go to the
chapel twice daily to cast their bal
lots, tfC locations will avoid the neces-
sity of their climbing stairs.
Other cardinals have been notified
that they may celebrate mass in their
own rooms, thus avoiding the fatigue
of going every morning to the Pauline
Chapel. For these cardinals special
small wooden affairs are to be pro-
vided.
The hope is entertained here that
the American cardinals, Farley of
New York, Gibbons of Baltimore. and
O'Connell of Boston will succeed in
reaching Rome in time for the con-
clave. 1t is felt that as they are out
side the influences of the European
war they will be able to bring an i'm
partial view to the election of the
new Pope.
The fifth congregation of cardinals
was held to-day in the consistorial
