DEATH OF SLAYER
Mrs. Gaimari Says POliti-

1.-THE politician responsible for my

This statement, more a prediction
than a threat, was the sole comment
Mrs. Michael Gaimari would make last
night on the death Of her husband
Tom Foley's Italian leader in the I'd
Assembly District, who was shot three
times in tn. back and killed last Mon
day morning.
No threat was uttered yesterday de-
spite the tensencss of the crowd that
attended the funeral at the Gaimarl
home. at SO Madison Street. For three
DAYS lines of people had filed past the
bier Of the murdered man, and when
the hour for the services approached
Yesterday the streets were black with

Among those who attended the SER

THREE MORE HIT
CAMPBELL PLEA
Hotel Clerks All Deny Baby
Was Born in Grand
Union Hotel.

Mrs. Florence Adele Won Platner
Campbell, widow Of James Campbell,
will appear before a notary public in
st. Louis Monday to reply to attacks
on the parentage of her daughter, Mrs
Lois Ann Campbell Burkham, and give
other testimony bearing on the con-
test to break the will of her husband,
who left an estate inventoried at Sl6,-
1000. This was announced at the
hearing for the taking of depositions
of New York witnesses for the plain
tiffs, held yesterday in the law offices
of Austin, McLanahan & Merritt, 1873
Broadway.
Mrs. Campbell is recovering at the
Hotel Plaza from an operation for ap-
pendcitls.
The announcement of Mrs. Camp
bells counsel came after two rather
fruitless day sessions, at which three
witnesses gave testimony aimed TO OIL
set that of Mrs. Anne Mahoney, OF
New York. one Of Mrs. CampbelPs in
Inmates. The latter had testified to
having visited Mrs. Campbell az the
Grand Union Hotel on March II, 1893,
two hours after the birth of Lois Ann,
the only cnllu OF MI CdHpOell.
William p. Merritt, of East Elmhurst,
Long Island, testified TO having been
chief room clerk at the Grand Union
from 1881 to 1894 and said he had
never known "a baby to be born at the
hotel. In the thirteen years he was
employed there he said he had been
absent from his work for only two
and one-half days. and he said he
would have been informed had child
been born at the hotel.
Besides testifying TO having seen
the mother and babe, Mrs. Mahoney
said the infant was in a crib or cradle,
and that Mrs. Campbell's rooms were
directly over the hotel kitchen, no at
tention having been paid to their loca-
ton, as Mrs. Campbell had been
stricken i'll on the street.
Mr.. Merritt corroborated other hotel
employees, who said on Wednesday that
there was no living room e floor
above and directly over the kitchen.
b. A. Birgc, of 81 -'irst Street, Wee
hawken, \. j., assistant manager Of
the Hotel Belmont and from 1885 to
1906 employed at the Grand Union,
testified that in March, 1898, he was
night room clerk and that to his
knowledge Mrs. Campbell never
stopped at the hotel, nor was there any
child born there.

to sell to Europe in considerable guam
titles. Last year we had about $780,
600 600 to spare. This year we may
have twice as much as that, but those
figures, large as they look on paper,
are only trifies when it comes to the
feeding of nations.
The statistics compiled by the Fed
eral Bureau of Crop Estimates tell a
story which must be heard. Outside
of grain and dairy products our spare
supplies are fractiorally too small for
much consideration. Of the two sta
pies named we can afford to send away
in normal years, about one-ffth what
we produce. And this is a normal
year for US. so far as consumption
goes, even if it be not normal in Eur
ope. America is not going hungry for
the sake of letting Europe test its
cannons in stomach comfort.
Europe is welcome to the surplus of
a bumper grain crop and what there
IS to spare of our dairy products. But
it can expect little more than that.
