MI. Hughes acquired wide renown.
The prominence which his Work in that
enterprise gave his name brought him
a nomination by the Republicans for
mayor OF New York, although he had
made not the slightest eXertion to pro
cure it. Three days after he had been
nominated by acclamation he declined
tie honor.
In 1906 he was elected as governor of
New York and at once commenced the
reforms for which he won fame.

SAVING OLD MANUSCRIPTS.
How Valuable Papers Are Mended
and Mounted For PRESERVING.

There are not fifty persons i'm the
lnited States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing of old man
'lscripts. One of them, says the Uni
vcrsity of Wisconsin Bulletin, may be
found working on the third floor of the
Wisconsin Historical library building
at Madison, n of the six or seven in
stitutions in the country that carry on
such work scientifically.
About a generation or two ago q
priest in the Vatican library at Rome
originated and developed the process
now in use in the taking care of old
papers.
The first thing done in the process Of
preserving the letters is to place them
between wet newspapers under a
weight and leave them for five or six
hours. Ih1S removes the creascS and
the dirt. Then they are put between
wood pulp boards and left twenty-four
hours and then between blotters to
complete the drying process. The next
step is to repair the paper.
The paper of soma of these letters is
so old when received that it falls to
pieces if struck. This is strengthened
by Il layer of Il sort Of TRANSPARENT
cloth, on both sides of the piece of pa
per. Other letters need mendiny along
the edges with parchment paper. To
cover holes Il piece Of paper is glued
V the edges and is left larger than
the hole until dry. 1t is then cut down
to the proper size. and the edges are
sandpapered until smooth. After all
sue repairs are made the letters are
mounted on large white sheets and nre.
pared for binding.

GERMAN ANGRY
At j. 5. CENS0R5
EXPLANATION Is ASKED AS TO
WHY NEWS SENT BY WIRE
LESS WAS WITHHELD.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.-The
German government through Count
Won Bernstorff, it's ambassador here,
today formally asked the United
States to explain why the American
wireless censors at Sayville suppress
ed the official announcement of the
German admiralty of the reported
sinking in the North sea of the Brit
ish cruiser Arabs on February IL.
News reporting the loss of the
Arabs reached the United States from
Berlin via London passing through
the British censorship. On Febru-
ary 12, however, Berlin wireless
direct via Sayville was passed, saying
that another ship in addition to the
Arabs had been sunk in the same en-.
gagement.
At the navy department it Is ad'
mitted that Berlin official dispatches
have been suppressed by the Sayville
censors because they considered them
coming under the inhibition of Sec
retary Daniels orders permitting pas
sage of war dispatches provided no
reference is made to movements or
location of war or other vessels OF
belligerents."
It is explained that this order was
made in the interest Of neutrality.
The question probably will be taken
up by off cials more fully. g ~.
