ALARMED BY OHIO NEWS.
Republican Organizer Goes Into Home
of Mckinley to Combat Strong Will
SON Sentiment, Which Threatens TO
Sweep State.

New York, Oct. 3.-Frank VI.
Hitchcock's exact role in the Hughes
campaign again was the subject Of
telegraphic correspondence today. Re-
publican National Chairman Wilcox
handed out a message from Western
Republican Manager A. T. Hert, read
ing:
Stories to the effect that Frank
II. Hitchcock Is .feld marshal and
many other things, and Is doing this
or that. or Is going to this or that, in
the way OF superseding somebody. are
imaginary in basis.

but in western headquarters. He Is
helping in a manner expected from
him. and in matters assigned to him
by Chairman Wilcox in New York,
and by me in Chicago. We are all in
perfect accord in the work that Is be-
ing done"
Mr.. Hitchcock was chairman of the
Republican National c m m e Q
when President Taft swept the coun-
try in 1908. Governor Whitman and
others urged Mr. Hughes to make him
national chairman. Senator Murray
Crane and Boise Penrose protested.
Mr.. Wilcox was chosen. When Mr..
Hughes, on his first Western trip.
found bad spots In Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and other States. IT was insisted
that Mr.. Hitchcock investigate. 1t
was said that the campaign in the
Middle West was tagging and that
leaders were asleep. Mr.. Hughes di-
rected that Hitchcock be sent West
again. He organized the forces where
Mr. Hughes cpoke last. When credit
was given him by the Westerners 1t
was resented here,
Mr.. Hitchcock Is on a third tour of
observation. particularly In Ohio
Alarming reports have reached
Hughes manager from that State.
Figures at national headquarters show
that Hughes is more likely to lose
the home OF Mckinley and Taft than
Indiana. Mr.. Hughes placed Mr.
Hitchcock as the Hughes field man
ager. Manager Hert rushed the mes
sage through to Mr.. Wilcox which
prefaces this story.
Manager WillcM would only say
that Mr.. Hitchcock is only a member
Of the advisory committee. Mr. Hert
says he is helping in manner ex-
pected of him.

LAW IS TOO EASY
ON DRINKING MEN
Judge Rebukcs Drunkard Accused OF
Abusing Wife and DESERVING
Family.

York Pa, Oct 3.-In sentencing
Jesse Smuck to pay to his family the
sum of 81 weekly. Judge Wanner de-
livered scathing rebuke to Smuck,
who Is charged with not only DESERT
ing his family. but also drinking to
excess and abusing his wife while
they lived together. Judge Wanner
told the accused that he was sorry
that such conduct was not made "a
crime and placed on the statute books
in order that it could be dealt with
more properly, adding that in that
case he would have not been lenient
with men of Smuck's type.
While for a man to drink and then
neglect and abuse his family is 4
crime in the eyes of men, it has never
been enacted into a law, nor has a
penalty been provided. A husband
may be Of the most abusive type, but
If he does not inflict bodily injury
on his wife there is no law on the
statute books to deal with the case
in a definite manner
1t was this that the Judge referred
TO when he said he hoped some day
a way would be found to apply the
law more rigidly to the man who
spends his money for rum and then
abuses and mistreats his family.
This Is the largest desertion court
in the history of the county. A list
OF seventy surety cases are up to be
heard before Judges Wanner and
Ross. Thirty-seven are up for de-
sertion. At the present time the court
Is taking care of .87 families whose
husbands are paying weekly sums to
their wives and families ranging from
$3.50 to 81.
When the present court Is ended
this number will be increased 10
about 215. Out OF this number yes-
terday nineteen were turned over to
Probation Officer L. d. Keesey to be
taken care OF.
