TOGETHER AGAIN,
SAYS LONGWORTH
Includes Own Family in
Reunions of Cam
paign

1--WE are getting together in this
campaign-my own family is getting
together. There are no better friends
in the country to-day than our next
President, Charles f. Hughes, and
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t 10 very much
like the campaign Of 1896"
So spoke Representative Nicholas
Longworth, the Colonels son-in-law, in
an address at the first meeting of the
Pioneer Republican Club of the 34th
Assembly District, held in the McKin-
ley Square Casino, 779 East l69th
Street, The Bronx, last night.
you will agree that four more
years of Woodrow Wilson and his sec
tonGl Democratic Congress would be a
calamity" said Mr.. Longworth. 1t is
the duty Of all governments TO protect
their citizens at home and abroad, but
since he entered the White House
Woodrow Wilson has ignored American
rights.
The only good thing the Democrats
have done in the last four years has
been 20 get rid Of Bryan. They have
steered further and further away from
the real issue-America first. The Ad-
mlnistratiOn has placed the industrial
interests of America on a level with
the cheapest Of those in Europe. They
boast of peace and prosperity, but their
peace is a myth and their prosperity
an abnormality."
Mr.. Longworth pointed out that
three other Presidents besides Wilson
proved themselves able TO guide the
nation clear of trouble when great wars
were on abroRd-Polk, Grant and
Roosevelt.
"And Roosevelt" he said, twas more
influential than Car or Mikado, even,
IN debating the terms of peace under
which Japan and Russia have lived in
perfect amity ever since.
But during the Wilson Admins
trstion we have been at war with a
foreign power-with Mexico. 1t has
been a little war, If you please. a
petty war, an ignoble war"
Statistics were quoted to show that
the loss Of life has been greater in
recent troubles with Mexico than that
due to Spanish guns In the Spanish
American War.
"To my mind" he wound up, "the
Wilson policy Of dealing with Mexico
is the blacklist chapter ever written in
American history. If there were no
other issue in this campaign, on that
alone Democracy would deserve sting
ing defeat"
Other speakers were Oscar S. Straus.
Representative William 5. Bennett and
State Controller Eugene Travis. Mr.
Straus attacked the Wilson eight-hour
law.

GIRL DISAPPEARS
ON WAY TO SCHOOL
Brooklyn Police Asked to Search
for Lillian Rather

Lillian Rather, sixteen years old,
of 965 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, one
Of the most studious members Of the
senior class Of the Eastern District
High School. left home for school as
usual Tuesday morning. In the after
noon several Of her schoolmates called
at her home and inquired Of her
mother, Mrs. Herman Rather, the
cause Of her absence.
Mrs. Rather collapsed, and her hus-
band asked the 18th Branch Detective
Bureau yesterday to search for his
daughter. The police are inclined TO
believe the girl may have suffered a
temporary mental relapse from over
study and wandered away.

Claims Ohio by 100000 Up

at is a question only Of the size OF
the Presidents plurality in Ohio. The
estimates as to this run upward from
100000. The Republican campaign IN
that state has collapsed, and the old
machine is split with strife and dissen-
sion. In North Dakota and Kansas the
situation is clarifying, and the local
leaders are absolutely confident that IN
both these states the President will
make sweep. Kansas expects to elect
six Democratic Congressman"
A meeting of the eastern division OF
the Democratic national campaign com
mittee had been held in Mr.. McCor-
m.ck's Office just before his talk on the
situation. Robert S Hudspeth, Of New
Jersey; Francis S. Peabody, OF Illinois;
Hugh c. Wallace, OF Washington;
Simeon NJ. Johnson, Of Ohio; Frederick
r. Lynch, of Minnesota, and W. l..
Saunders, Of New Jersey, were present.
Mr. Mccormick said his great conf
dence in the outcome sprung from the
combined reports of the eastern and
western men on that committee.
Mr. Hughes will return here on the
goth and after resting four days will
speak in Brooklyn on the 25th. He will
spend four days upstate, and then will
swing out TO Ohio and Indiana.

Woman Denies
Jealousy Was Motive in
Killing Army Officer

Macon, Ga, August 26.-While the
county authorities tonight were work
ing on the theory that Mrs H c. Adams
OF Atlanta was prompted by jealousy to
kill Capt Edgar J. Spratling of f COM
pany. Fifth regiment, yesterday at
Camp Harris, the woman continued to
deny that such was the case. She has
thus far refused to give any motive
other than that indicated in her state
ment of yesterday to the effect that
Spratling in the capacity of her physi-
clan in Atlanta had acted wrongly to-
ward her.
Mrs. Maude Monk, former nurse, who
brought out the jealousy feature Of
the case, late last night urged officers
of the Fifth regiment today to search
the effects of Captain Spratling for a
letter which Mrs. Monk stated she had
received from Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Monk
asserted that in this letter Mrs. Adams
had threatened the life of the captain.
Mrs. Adams, in the Jail today, where
she is held without bond, denied that
she had written such letter. Officers
of the regiment would not state what
had been found in the captains prop
erty.
The body of Captain Spratling was
taken to Atlanta early this morning
under military escort and later was
carried to Opelika, Ala, for burial.
Mrs Adams received many callers
at the county Jail during the day, but
thus far her husband, who has been
detained by his work, has not arrived
from Atlanta.
Mrs Adams showed no signs of nerv-
who thus accounted for his eleventh

enough to get it before the Senate as
soon as the revenue bill is enacted.
According to what is believed to be
the plan, the measure will be enacted
just before the adjournment of the ses-
sion.
1t will bear minor amendments, and
will, of course be sent to conference
Inasmuch as the conferees cannot act
during an interregnum, the bill could
not be prepared for the signature of the
President before December. By such
strategy, the President will not be en-
barrassed by the necessity, as he re-
CARDS it, Of attaching a veto. And at
the same time, democrats will be, 1t is
thought probable, the recipients of po-
ltical favor at the hands of the people
who are clamoring for the passage OF
the bill.
The Burnett immigration bill contains a
clause referred to as the "literacy
test" That test requires an immigrant,
before being admitted, to read SEN
tence containing six words in his ma
tive language or dialect. Although the
test does not appear to be so serious,
it has been the cause of three vetoes-
one by Roosevelt, another by Taft, and
still another by Wilson The argument
is made that the bill must be bad mas
much as three Presidents, each so dis
similar from the other in temperament,
have vetoed it. On the other hand, 1t
Is argued that the bill must be merito-
rious inasmuch as two Congresses, and
the House of another Congress have
passed 1t.
The bill is chiefly the product Of Rep
resentative Burnett of Alabama, chair
man of the immigration committee.

1.-TWO enemy aeroplanes were shot down

Bapaume and another by antiaircraft
guns near Zonnebeke, Flanders, while
in aerial engagements one aeroplane was
brought down east of Verdun and one
north of Fresnes in the Woevre
London, August 26.-German troops at
tempted twice to enter the British lines
in front of Bethune, north of Arras, and
German artillery shelled points near
Ypres and Arras, says tonights British
war office communication. On the
Scmme front the Germans bombarded the
Mametz wood and trenches north of the
Delville wood. Fighting continues in the
region of the Mouquet farm.
The statement reads:
1.-THE enemy's artillery boplbarded
Mametz wood about midday today and
our trenches north of the Delville wood
during the afternoon. Around the
Mouquet farm fighting continued today.
In this area and in the trenches south
of Thiepval we have captured one Ger
man officer and sc men of other ranks
during the last "a hours.
1.-TWO hostile attempts, on one of our
saps south of the Bethune-La Bases road
this morning were driven back by our
rifle fire. The enemy shelled Roclin-
court (north of Arras), La Cotoure and
our trenches east of Zillebeke (east OF
Ypres) during the day and there was
also much trench mortar activity on both
sides near the Hohenzollern redoubt. Yes

many enemy gun positions, some of
which were destroyed or otherwise dam

Z lac instead of sc. All union suits,
regardless of length will be 15c. The
price for washing handkerchief will

be washed for 1c instead of lao cent,
and surely 1c is low enough for wash
ing a towel. The same price will pre-
vail for napkins. 1t requires extra

charging.
1.-THE charge for washing a sheet will
be &c instead of Sc. Bed spreads Of all
sorts, whether plain, fringed or col
ored, will be 15c apiece. This is prac-
tically no advance, for fringed and col
ored bed spreads have always been
15c. 1t is true that the plain bed
spreads were washed for 10c, but that
price was entirely too low to handle
them properly. The cost for washing
rags will be 1c instead of lac, and It'll
dirt cheap at that. for the majority of
rags sent in are almost as large as a
sheet and we ought to have &c or &c
apiece for washing them instead of 1c.
Not only has the cost gone up for
the material needed to wash and wrap
your laundry. but the cost of deliver
ing your package has greatly increased.
The prices on harness. feed for horses
and everything else connected with the
delivery system has gone up since the
war started.
"Of course, we expect to hear some
kicks against these slight advances
but If the housekeepers of Birming-
ham will write to some of their friends
in other cities where they are doing as
good laundry work as the Birmingham
laundries are doing, they will quickly
learn that even with this slight ad-
vance in prices we are charging great
deal less for good work than Is
charged elsewhere" -Advertisement.
