When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration>the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: "What would
you have done" They forget that 1t
Is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead of crying
"What would you have done?" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tration Ind induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all In the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudlate them after
he entered Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not flatterer, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes Is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him:
"What would you do?" they are un-
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. It was then that he first said
"publlc office shall not be q private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..
Wilson: Hughes means what he
says" So it Is that the campaign Is
really a contest Of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

defendants favor in the assumpsit ac-
ton which w. s. Russel, Carlisle,
brought agains congressman A. r.
Rupley to recover $500 for an II L"

a sealed verdict.
Mr.. Russell claimed the 5000 was
due from Mr.. Rupley on an unpaid
Il o u. Mr.. Rupley admitted having
given the note. but said he offered it
in return for a $500 advance on his
fee to be paid conditionally upon his
putting through some stock deals for
Mr.. Russell. The stock deals were put
through successfully. the eX-congress-
man contended, and he supposed he
was to keep the $500 and that the

destroyed. He forgot all about the
note until Mr.. Russell began his suit
just one day before the expiration of

Trial of the action which grew out
of Catherine Marshall's claim to the
possession of about $4,000 worth of

The firemen were at work on the

flames in the basement, and an
alarm was sent in from Box 342,

First Fire Discovered
by RailrOaders in
Shimmell Building

The fire at the Shimmell building
started in the rear basement in a wood
pile. Entrance was gained through a
small trap door leading to the coal
bin. The door which was not locked
was found open. The woodpile adj
joins the coal bins. The flames burn
ed through to small shed covered
with tar paper in which was stored
finished lumber.
The flames were first discovered by
employees in the Philadelphia and

Box No. GA, Sixteenth and Berryhill
streets at 2:10 q. M. When the fire.
men arrived the rear of the building
was in flames. Four streams of water
were directed to the basement and
two streams sent through the building
to prevent the spread of the flames.
There was considerable smoke and
the firemen had stubborn blaze TO
fight. They worked for two hours be-
fore it was under control.
The fire burned through a portion
of the floor above but gained little
headway. The firemen flooded the
basement in their efforts to drown
out the fire in the woodpile. This cut
off the steam heat plant from serv-
ice, and extinguished the fire in the
boilers. The Shimmell building is
fireproof structure, and very little
smoke reached the second floor.
number of window glasses were
broken leading to the basement and
on the first floor. When William ID.
Fritz, the janitor arrived he made
an examination of all the doors and
found them locked. The only OPEN
ing was at the rear trapdoor on
which there were no locks After
the water had been pumped out. the
coalpile was examined. and foot
marks were discovered, indicating
that the firebug entered by way of
the trapdoor to the coalpile. and
after starting the fire returned
through the trapdoor, climbing back
over the coa1pile.
The damage here was small, and is
estimated at between s40O and $500.
IT was fonnd that the steam heat
