Society Of New York City,
RYDER who calls himself the founder oil
the society, said yesterday that he had
called a special meeting OF the society
and had elected a new board or trustees
ousting the Rev. Mr.. Brooks.
Mr.. Brooks was only brought into the
society" said Ryder. because II was
thought ne could get the Rockefellers
Interested. This he did to the extent OF
having the Rockefeller Foundation eS-
anime into the question as whether or
not there was need for society that
would supply artificial legs and arms 10
cripples. The Rockefeller Foundation
reported that there was a need for such
an organization. but that is all the
tributed n cent and the three thousand
dollars with which we paid our expenses
and bought legs and arms for twenty-one
persons was contributed by go persons.

The inclusion of play in the White

CUMMINGS FOR SENATOR.
DEBORAH, May %, 1914

DCSOl may 30, iOlI
Mr.. Editor:-I was honored with
a letter from The Headquarters of
Mr.. Cummins. They do not seem to
be aware of the fact that / have no
politial influence any more, being too
old and having removed to another
county, and even another congress
sional district. If it should make any
difference in the support of the sena-
tor, shall be very glad to state my
reasons for my former opposition to
him, and for my hearty and loyal
support now.
In his last campaign for the nom
ination for Governor, it was against
my comrade Mr.. Perkins whom
admired very much. Some of the
papers and friends of Mr.. Cummins
charged Mr.. Perkins with being a
corporation tool. This I resented.
Then when candidate for senator, it
was against Mr.. Allison, and consid-
cred him one of the greatest men in
the senate. Next he had Major La
cey to oppose him, who was one of
the great old soldiers from Iowa who
made their marks in congress. AS
an old soldier and an old Republican,
without prefix Or suffix to that term,
l supported Major Lacey. In all this
time I was neither ignorant nor in
doubt of Mr.. Cummins's eminent abil-
ity. Now things have changed. Mr.
Cummins has succeeded Mr. Allison
as one of the great leaders in the u.
S. Senate, and of presidential size,
when the time comes for Republi-
can candidate from West Of the Miss
issippi. / think it is time that the
republicans of Iowa come together.
Mr.. Cummins is probably the only
republican in Iowa we could elect to
the great Office of senator this year.
Respectfully,
F. A. ROSSING.
