GEN. WOOD T.. RS
SECOND CHOICE
FOR PRESIDENCY
Roosevelt Comes First Natural
ly, but Approves Army
Man

Washington, d. c., April 11.-Ma-
Jor General Leonard Wood, U. S. A, is
the dark horse" candidate of Colonel
Roosevelt for the Republican nomina-
tion for President. If the Colonel can
not get the nomination himself, he is
going to try to bring about the nomi-
nation of Major General Wood.
The knowledge that Colonel Roose-
welt had General Wood in mind for the
Presidency reached some of the ia
vorite sons" candidates in the Senate
They said that they did not expect that
the movement for General Wood
would assume very large proportions
They had been advised that Col.RooSe-
Welt felt somewhat doubtful about
his own nomination and about the ad-
Visibility of it. He had stated to sew
eral callers that if he received the
nomination at all it would have to
come without a fight and as a result
of spontaneous demand, because If
there were any division as a result of
his own selection, it probably would
mean defeat.
Hughes Confers With Weeks
In addition to the announcement
of Colonel Roosevelt's second choice,
considerable significance was attach
ed to the fact that Justice Charles Il.
Hughes had a long conference with
Senator John w. Weeks at the home
of the latter in this city yesterday.

BIG WATER CASE
BROUGHT TODAY
HummelStown Citizens Want q
Physical Valuation of
Water Plant

A complaint which may have far
reaching effect was instituted to-day
before the Public Service Commission
by citizens of Hummelstown against
the rates and management of the
Hummelstown Consolidated Water
Company, which has already figured
in proceedings before the State
Board. The complaint was filed by
Olmsted & Stamm and w. II. Earnest
for Samuel b. zerfoss Joseph Burk-
holder, j. Nj. Brightbill ID. c. Rhoads,
Lands Strickler and George w. Kar-
many, of Hummelstown, who contend
that the company's rates were not ac-
companied by the required notice, that
they are unjust and discriminatory.
The company capital is given as $125,-
900 and $225,OOO debt and it is
charged that the securities are in eX-
cess of the value of the plant, that
there is no necessity for the increase,
which will fall mostly on the in
dividual consumers and that there are
large salaries paid. The complaint is
regarded as certain to force physi-
cal valuation.
