ERWIN M. JENNINGS IS BEREFT OF WIFE BY HAND OF DEATH
Mabel J. Sanford Jennings Dies in Hospital Follow
 ing Operation.

Following an operation a week ago, Mabel J. Sanford, wife of Erwin M. Jennings, president of the Jennings Bros. Co.,, and the Erwin M. Jennings Co.,, died yesterday at the Roosevelt hospital, New York City, Mrs. Jen- nings' death came as a great shock to the community as it was not gen. orally known that she was ill. While, as the daughter of the late MT. and Mrs. Edwin G. Sanford she was a member of one of the most prominent families of Bridgeport, she was of a home loving disbesitien and devoted her time to her husband and six chill dren rather than te society. That she was only 43 years old and her chill dren are all under 1T years makes her death the sadder. Mrs. Jennings with her husband. had a some at 475 Wash ington avenue in addition to their resi- dence in Greens Earns.
 Mrs. Jennings death follows that of her sister, Mrs. Frank Hurd by only four months. Besides her hus- band, and six children.

 EXTENSION PLAN
Head of Schools Believes Suitable Instructors Have
 Not Been Selected.

New York. Oct. 23-Columbia Uni versity has arranged to extend its ed- ucational advantages to the residents of additional cities, including Stam- ford, Conn.,, Yonkers, and Scranton. It was stated that Bridgeport may be placed on the list but the plans for that city have not been complete.
 In those cities courses will be giv- en under Columbia professors with academic credit where desired. His- tory, English, education, social econo- my and geography are to be included in the courses given at these centers.
 The Columbia University extension courses will not be extended to Bridge port this fall unless the management of Columbia will agree to send to this city their best lecturers and instruc- tors. The management of the uni versity endeavored to place Bridge port on the list as it has been for sev- eral years past with Stamford. Yon- kers and Scranton, but when the list of those were to have charge of the classes here was submitted to Supt. of Schools Samuel J. Slawson, he rais- ed objection. The superintendent does not consider the teachers whom the university proposed to send here as suitable and he promptly told the Columbia management so and insisted that they\ send the best they have or none at all. At present the Colum- bia management has made no answer but at this writing it seems unlikely that the Extension course will be
 to bridgeport.
 The courses were given in the cities mentioned under Columbia professors with ac3demic credit where desired. History, 'English, social economy and geography were included in the courses given at those centers.
 In speaking of the matter today Supt. Slawson said:
 Some time ago we were in com munication with the officials of Co., lumbia about the extension courses and the young men and women they proposed to send here to conduct the courses were only students. We have people right here at home much bet ter qualified than they and we told the Columbia officials so. We told them unless they could send us the very best they have we did not want any one. We will employ only prac- tical people. We have no places for students or theorists and no one can get our money unless they can deliver the goods"

The old adage that the rich man lives to eat and the poor man eats to live may be true, but it is a fact that neither one can enjoy life with a stomach that will not make one happy to eat or the other to eat to live as indigestion will put them on the same plane of misery. Mir. Ringstone says regarding Lax-a-Tone:
 My wife has been troubled with indigestion, gas on her stomach, no appetite, was tired and run down for the past year. She started using Lax alone and much to her surprise is able to eat fried fish, something she has not done for 8 long time, with weight, feels fine and wish to highly endorse Lax-a-Tone for the great good it has done my wife,"

VICTOR MURDOCH,
 PROGRESSIVE, IS FOR MIR. WILSON

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 23-Victor Mur- dock, Progressive, who bolted the con- vention when his party decided to make up" with the Republicans, is off the fence. In a long editorial MT. Murdock's Wichita Eagle comes out for Woodrow Wilson. Since the con- ventions both old parties have exerted efforts to get the former Kansas Con- gressman to join with them, and just before he sailed for China, several weeks ago, he announced he was "on the fence." The announcement today is printed under the caption, Wilson and Capper."
 Capper is the Republican Governor of Kansas. Making it plain that it is no defection to the Democratic Party, the article says that Wilson is more progressive than Hughes, and urges votes for the Democratic nominee, not because he is Democrat, but in spite of the fact that he is Democrat. Hughes, the editorial says, has shown a spirit of mollycoddling on big is- hyphenated Americans.
 LEADER SHIFTS TO WILSON.
 Wheeling, W. va., Oct. 28-Thomas P. Ryan, of Roane County, former member of the State Republican Exc cutive Committee and known as the Republican whip of Roane County for a dozen years, has announced him. self for President Wilson.
 "Yes, Sir, I am going to vote for Wilson," said MT. RyanAi in his law off, flee at Spencer. "I have reason, and a good one.> Woodrow Wilson's Ad- ministration has given to this country more progressive legislation than was ever enacted under any other admins tration in the nations history. voted for Roosevelt in 1912 because his contract with the people called for the enactment of progressive leg islation. Woodrow Wilson has re- deemed the pledges made by the Pro- gressive Party, and shall not repudi- ate the contract to which subscribed in 1e12."
 MT. Ryan predicts that Roane Coun- ty wills give a whopping majority to Wilson. Tom" Ryan, as he is fami- liarly known, is considered the biggest Republican in Roane County, and one of the biggest leaders of the State.
