WHITTEMORE, IN STATEMENT
OUT FOR WICKERSHAM
(Cordova Times)

Ed. L. WhittemOre, elected chair
man of the district by the convention,
this morning issued the following
statement regarding the action Of the
convention:
prior to the Seward convention,
held last spring, Lewis Shacklefcrd
in the First division, and many repub-
licans in the other divisions, ley it be
understood that in the interests Of
harmony in the republican party, they
were in favor of the nomination Of
James Wickersham as the republican
candidate.
"This sentiment was fostered care
fully and used by Shackleford as a
means of getting sufficient proxies in
the First division to control that sec
ton.
at is known that the nomination OF
Wickersham was favored in the Sec
ond and Fourth divisions, and had the
proxies held by the delegates from
those sections been voted in accord
with the sentiment of the men who
gave them, Wickersham easily would
have been nominated.
"The sentiment created by the re-
publicans in favor Of Wickersham be-
fore the Seward convention developed
and is favored by the rank and file Of
the republicans, who had demanded
his nomination at the Seward cOnven-
tion.
"The nominating committee ap-
pointed at Seward has failed to lame
candidate, and in answer to the de-
mand of the republicans Of the terri
tory, a demand created by Shackle-
ford and his supporters, the cOnven-
ton at Valdez endorsed the candidacy
Of Wickersham, thus carrying out the
will of the republicans, which the
Seward convention refused to do"

TO BUILD
MILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF HOME FOR WORKMEN

Especial to Gateway by United Pressl
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July lS.-
The war boom has run this towns
population up to the point of over
flowing. There are 1000 families here
without roofs. So the Chamber of
Commerce engineered a private cor
poration, organized with no idea Of
profit, to build a million dollars worth
of model houses for them. The first
work on the homes started here to-
day,
1t is estimated that nearly $4,000
persons have moved here to stay in
the last twelve months. Most of
them were brought to help make
munitions, but a part of the increase
was caused by the establishment of
400 big factories of all kinds in the
last few years, here.
The poorer worlmen felt the pinch
Of the situation first. Landlords
boosted rents when they saw what
was happening, so the first work of
the new corporation is the building
Of 400 two-family houses to rent at
Sl2 to SIS q month.

TIP FOR AMERICAN COCAINE
SELLERS FROM FRANCE

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
PARIS, July 10. - They have as
much trouble with the cocaine traffic
in Paris as they do in New York,
Chicago, Cleveland, San Francisco
and other American cities. The tricks
Sresortcd to by law breaking vendors
of the "snow" are quit as ingenious
as a shrcwd American could pull.
Today the police discovered new
one. Jean Nardin, a pharmacist, hit
upon the happy idea of keeping his
stock of "coke" in safety deposit
boxes at the Credit Lyonnaise. The
police yanked him up quick and he's
just been put in prison and fined $500.
Although the police had been GER
tain for months that Nardin had been
selling "snow" to victims Of the habit,
repeated searching of his store
revealed only minor quantities Of the
drug. Nardin's repeated visits to the
vault in the bank led to his arrest.
In the safety box was found several
hundred dollars worth of cocaine and
Nardin's personal memoirs, which he
is writing as he goes through life.

SOLDIERS CLEANED OUT
 NEW LONDON SALOON
Were Lined Up Three Deep at the
 Bar and the Prop. Was Alone.

A saloonkeeper not far from the Union station in New London hailed with unusual delight Thursday morn ing the news that the probability of war with Mexico Is now much less and that the troops may be sent back at an early date. It appeared later, however, that the cause of his rejoic- ing was not altogether one of con- cern for the soldiers. When the Mass achusetts militia passed through the other day, they had a wait of only a few minutes at the depot Rushing into the saloon with bank notes in their hands, they demanded quarts pints, beer by the dozen and other ar-wholesale orders. The proprie- tor was alone and unable to attend to the rush except in fractional man. ner. The invading army speedily found the location of the goods they desired and helped themselves liberally
 When the bar lined three deep, the proprietor could not even reach the money which the customers strove tc give him. Then came the cry of ''Ai aboard" and the soldiers rushed out leaving the saloon man minus many dollars worth of refreshments That is why he Is glad of the prospect of g speedy return of the troops, particu- larly those from the Bay State, an6 he sincerely trusts they will come via New London. When he hears or theil approach, he plans to engage a large and active force of assistants.

Why Foods Spoil.

In the preservation of food there are many factors to be taken into account but bacteria Is the main one.
 Bacteria are present almost every where in air. in water and in all food exposed to dust and air. Milk is a favorite medium for bacteria and is one fcd that should have special care.
 The consumption of foods contain ing a large number of bacteria even though there may not be any specific disease germs among them, is a men ace to public health. we can protect our food supply from increasing purn- bers of bacteria by having some knowl- edge of the behavior of bacteria. and by knowing how to control their de- velopment- It is of great importance that their growth be checked at the start says M. A. Costello department of home economies, Connecticut Agri- cultural College.
 Precautions should be taken against dust after food is in the home as well as when in market. Foods and dishes should not be left exposed during sweeping, as molds and bacteria are very abundant in the air at this time It is not sufficient however, to cover food during sweeping but there should be means for protecting it all the time from the dust in the air which con- tains bacteria.
 Those foods which may be exposed to air and dust should be thoroughly cleansed before eating. This aplies to such foods as fruits and vegetables.
 Extreme heat destroys most bacteria and for this reason foods that are tc be thoroughly cooked. Raw fods con- tain greater numbers of bacteria Ex- periments have been tried with differ ent foods, cereals, etc. and the num- Der of bacteria in the raw product far exceeds the number in fife cooked pro- duct. Samples of different foods were left uncovered and exposed to the air the number of bacteria found in such fods was much greater than in the same foods covered.
 Therefore in caring for food il should be remembered that three

STATE OUTING IN
 RED MEMS DRESS
Each Chamber of Commerce to. be
 Designated by an Indian Name.

The annual outing of the chambers of commerce of eastern Connecticut, which is to be held at Lake Chargog- gagoggmanchaugagowgamaug, July 13, under the auspices of the Eastern Connecticut Development committee will be an original and unique affair. The outing is to take the form of an Indian pow wow and red men will again disport themselves in full war paint and feathers.
 The outing place is an historic spot and was formerly a conference ground of the ancient Indian. For this reason it was thought appropriate that the outing should be in the nature of an Indian conference and pow wow.
 The Indian idea is to be carried out in many respects. Members of the various chambers of commerce will paint and feathers. Each chamber of commerce will be designated Toy an Indian name.
