When Baby Has the Group.

When a mother is awakened from
sound, sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best
of health struggling for breath, she
is naturally alarmed. Yet if she can
keep her presence of mind and give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy every
ten minutes until vomiting is pro-
duced, quick relief will follow and
the child will drop to sleep to awak-
en- in the morning IS well as ever.

WIFE GIVES RUSSIAN
A GERMAN SHAMPOO
Armed with Comb, She Shows
Reservist What War Is Like.

When Patrolman Frank Tracy dashed
into a little house at 1903 East l62d
| Street last evening he blinked and
started back before looking again at
the statuesque group that confronted
| him.
In the middle of the room the tall
figure of Victory, clad in-well. just
about as little as the sculptors gener-
ally use-stood over the limp figure OF
a PROSTATE man, brandishing, not a
sword, but "A comb.
"What- er-what is it?" demanded
the policeman.
81 got him at lastl He'll stop his
drinking and fighting now" said Vic
tory.
Frank Pisszyk, a Russian reservist,
has been awaiting the call TO arms.
, Usually he awaits il in a saloon that
sells his favorite vodka. Yesterday
Piaszyk sauntered home in a particu-
larry militant frame of mind.
Two minutes after he entered his
| domicile there was SCATTERING noise,
a crash and moan. Then came Patrol
man Tracy.
"He tore my clothes off, but I'll
teach him not TO drink and fight any
MORE" explained Mrs. Piaszyk. 81 had
/ to use my comb on HIM"
Mrs. Piaszyk will be charged with
assault this morning if her husband is

PRESIDENT MAKER
AT GARY DINNER
R. V. Lindabury, Who Brought
Out" Wilson, Was Fellow
Guest with Roosevelt.

What was Richard V. Lindaburv. the
we'll known New Jersey lawyer, doing
at the Gary dinner, which Colonel
Roosevelt attended, on Friday night!
Nj. Lindabury has handled tho BIZ:
legal work of the United States Steel
CORPORATION. but that wasn't what in
terested the politicians. Occasionally
he takes an interest in politics, and on
one of these occasions he, with four
others, took Woodrow Wilson away
from the seclusion of Princeton and
made a full-fedged politician out OF
him. If il hadn't been for Mr.. Linda
hurry and the rest of this quintet Mr..
Wilson might still be president OF
Princeton.
The story is that in the spring OF
1910 Mr. Lindabury, George Harvey.
James Nugent. Eugene Kinkead and
Robert Hudspeth, Democratic national
committeeman from New Jersey. met
Woodrow Wilson at prearrGnged
luncheon at the Lawyers Club in this
city and offered him the Democratic
nomination for Governor of New Jer-
sey.
Nugent represented Jim Smith, then
IN the hey0ay OF success as DosS'
Kinkead represented Bob Davis. VINO
was almost as strong a boss as Smith,
and Mr.. Lindabury represented well,
his reputation as corporation lawyer
was Just as big then rs it is now. That
Mr.. Wilson accepted the offer and what
followed is a matter of history.
Those who took part in the Gary
dinner were just as insistent yesterday
that it had no political significance,
even if the Colonel was there.

TRAVIS MAKES NEW
OSBORNE CHARGE
Saws Warden Wants Controllers
Assistant Removed from
Prison Work.

Investigation of the books OF j. Ed
,,ard Holla. a State Controllers as
sistant. who is assigned TO Sing Sing
yesterday was followed by the charge
that Warden Osborne was endeayorin9
70 cause Hollas removal because M
knew too much
State Controller Eugene NJ. Travis
who ordered the investigation of Holla''
accounts on request of Warden os'
borne was responsible for the state
ment that the warden was attempting
to cause the removal of Holla.
"Mr. Osborne did not file charges
against Holla, he simply made verba
request that we go over his accounts
said Mr.. Travis. This is being done
by Deputy Controller William Board
man. As yet, | have received no re-
port from Mr.. Boardman. and cant
say what was found in the books
There is every indication, however, thai
Holla knows too much to suit Mr.. Us
borne. and the warden void like tc
have him leave there" ,
Deputy Warden Spencer Miller, speak
ing in behalf of Mr.. Osborne, insisted
that there were no grounds for such
conclusion on the part of Mr.. Travis.
81 will say, as Colonel Roosevelt once
told a reporter under similar circum
stances, that the statement is interest
ing. if true" said the deputy warden
"A new system of accounting is being
inaugurated here, and it is probable
Mr.. Osborne asked that Holla's books
be gone over for that reason. | DOM
think there was any other significance
in the request"
The Westchester Grand Jury, which
is investigating affairs at Sing Sing
will not go TO the penitentiary TINS
morning as had been planned. In
stead. they will hear witnesses who
will be taken 20 them By Warden Os'
borne's representatives,. District At
torney Frederick L. Weeks said las,
night that he thought four or five OF
he warden's witnesses would be heard
during the day.
Governor Whitman, who remained In
New York last night, indicated con-
iderable interest in the Osborne in
vestigation, but refused TO comment or
IL. His questions about the recent de
velopments at White Plains led to the
belief that he would take a hand in
the investigation soon.

"Labor's National Peace Council
stands to-day, as it has always stood
for the peace of America and for the
peace of the world. 1t is sternly OPP
posed to any action on the part Of the
administration which in secrecy leads
or tends to lead this country up to the
very verge Of war with any other coun--

be taken by the State Department tend
ing 10 break off diplomatic relations
with any nation without the full
knowledge and consent OF Congress.
Secretary Lansing's reported action IS
against the spirit of our Constitution
and the traditions of our institutions

"The recent act Of the administra-
tion in initiating war with Mexico
without the action of Congress was A
grave mistake. Congress alone has the
mower 10 declare war, and any action
or the part of the Executive which in
wolves the country in war or makes
war inevitable is not only an invasion
of the rights of Congress but Of the
whole people Of the country, and di-
rect violation Of the provisions of the
Constitution Of the United States.
"There is a growing spirit in the
ranks of the common people Of all civ
ilized countries that war should not be
declared without n referendum TO the
people, and we heartily indorse the
principle. The great lesson taught by
the hasty action Of the rulers and min
listers of the belligerent countries Of
Europe in secretly bringing on the
present war, without the knowledge or
consent of either the parliamcnts or
peoples, is a strong justification TO
warrant our action in making this pro-
test; especially in the light of the
statement published broadcast in fam
ing headlines in the morning papers
of Sunday to the effect that Secretary
Lansing had issued a secret ultimatum
to one of the belligerent powers OF
Europe on the very day following the
of Congress.
