Mr.. Booths speech at Albany will
not set well with people who expect
truth and frankness
Mr.. Booth's from public men He
Preiicament had promised al
straightforward answer
70 the Albany Democrats question as
to how he secured his timber land.
He took several weeks before at.
tempting a reply and then gave state
ments at variance with the facts as
shown by court records.
In his speech Mr.. Booth said his
company had secured no timber ex-
cepting by honest methods. or words
20 that effect But the records OF the
federal courts show that not less than
five claims involving valuable tim
Der lands were cancelled by the courts
on the ground OF fraud and collusion
between the Booth-Kelly company. of
which the senatorial candidate was
manager, and the entrymen. One OF
these entrymen was an empIoye OF
the company and the others were rel
stives Of Mr.. Booth.
In his Albany address Mr.. Booth
omitted mention Of the most import
ant land case. that regarding the Jor-
dan entry. The claims filed on by
relatives he said were taken for his
relatives benefit not for the benefit
OF the lumber company.
This statement is directly contra
dicted by the ruling Of the United
States court OF appeals. In the rul-
ing caneelling those claims on the
score OF fraud and collision Judge
Gilbert said:
''The theory that r. A. Booth ad-
vanced the costs and expenses and
purchase price for the entries in or
der TO assist his relatives who were
ln poor circumstances. and that he
thereafter advanced money 10 them
for the same reason and took the
deeds as. security lily comports with
certain significant facts that appear
in the record"
The opinion Of the court in this case
was formed after a hearing Of all the
evidence in the case. The court was
"A disinterested body sitting in San
Francisco and that the courts view
OF the case IL correct goes withou:

Game of Chess a Great
Refuge in Time of Stress

Chess is a winter game. and yet
We have been thinking that in times
of excitement, and when popular
emotions are on the rampage, what a
great refuge there is in a game of
chest Then ones thoughts come in
from wandering about the turmoils
of the day and sit down in the cool of
contemplation and happy calm.
Tennyson sings in his Lotus Eat
ers." There is no JOY but calm" But
mankind takes it differently It goes
on the idea that there is no joy but
excitement, hurly, burly. going some
where, and talking forever. All this
depends upon the depth of ones inner
nature. 1.-THE shadows murmur when
the deeps are dumb.
For the deeps of the soul chess is
invented. 1t stops all murmuring. 1t
looks down on the movements Of
the knight and bishop, and even the
queen, with large, calm gaze that
shuts out the flutter and glitter of
the day and beholds in quiet move
ment the grace and beauty of life
If we were king of France or,
what's better. pope of Rome" we
would stop all exciting games that
crowd out reflection and require peo-
pie to play chess, and thus try to
catch onto the quiet reality of things.

Frogs legs are now sold at the best
fish stands in Centre Market. Why
the legs of frogs should be regarded
as fish is not fully explained, but
they have naturally gravitiated to the
places where fish are to be had. one

watercress might be found in the so
ciety of fish soon.

Mexican Refugees Eagerly
Get Their Mail at Vera Cruz

The sacks of mail were crowded into
dark room that had escaped de-
struction and were dumped on a little
iron bedstead that had been saved
The dingy United States bags looked
grimly formidable compared with the
Mexican sacks, fresh in green, yellow
and white colors. For long time no
mail had passed over the border, and
what heartrending messages those
grim mail pouches must convey.
When the first ones were opened
and distributed the refugees who had
returned to the deserted city waited
eagerly in line and eagerly ripped
open the envelopes as they received
their letters. There was a burst of
tears in one corner where a woman
with three little children clinging to
her skirts was reading a penciled note
which announced the death Of the
husband and father.
Across the street stood a young
boy, not over five feet high, wearing
huge cartridge belts and leggings in
tended for a six-foot soldier, with a
letter, evidently from his mother,
which a friend was reading TO him.
He wiped away a tear with the long
sleeve of his dirty uniform and passed
on to report for duty. Here was an

REPORT DEAL BY
COUNTRY BANKS IN
BOARD ELECTION
Philadelphia Hears of Line-Up
Against Its lnsti-
tutions.

PHILADELPHIA, July Some OF
the candidates for membership on
the board of directors of the Federal
Reserve Bank are trying to line up
the country banks against those Of
this city. Word to that effect was re-
ceieed by bankers here yesterday.
These candidates are endeavoring to,
create a belief among the country
bankers that the Philadelphia banks
are seeking by underhand means to
gain control of the board of directors.
They have made an active canvass on
that line. and the vote for nominees
for directors. particularly for class A
OF groups 2 and 8, show that their
canvass has been successful.
The bankers of Philadelphia depre-
cate the arousing of hostility between
the city and the country banks. the
only desire, they say, is to see elected
competent men who are in position
and ready for active service as direc-
tors. That no underhand work has
been done on behalf of the Philadel-
phia candidates for class A directors.
Groups and 3 is clearly indicated,
they declare, by the comparatively
small number of banks which NOM
mated the Philadelphia candidates,
Joseph Wayne. jr., and Joseph
Moore, jr.
Two candidates for director, it is
said, made particularly active can
vases. sending out circulars and even
personally soliciting votes. These

whom is chiefly ascribed the move
ment to line up the county banks
against the city banks, and each got
the largest number of nominations in
his own class. But even the total of
the nominations fall far short of the
whole number of member banks in
each group, and it is believed here
that in the election now in progress
the vote will be quite different from
the nominating vote.
