THOMAS LYNCH

Fhe first of the "signers" of the Declaration of Independence to die was Thomas Lynch, who was also the youngest of the men who affixed their signatures to that famous document. Lynch was born in Prince George parish, s. G., 167 years ago today Aug. 5, 1749. He was only twenty-six when the Congress declared the inde- pendence of the colonies. III health compelled him to leave Congress soon afterwards. and near the close of 1779 he embarked on a vessel intending to go to Europe for the benefit of his health. The ship on which he sailed was never heard of afterwards, and the fate of the youngest of the "sign- CTS" remains a mystery. It. is SUD- posed. of course, that the ship sunk and that Lynch and al on board were drowned, but there were rumors that it was blown out of it's course in a storm and wrecked on lonely island of the West Indies, and that some of the passengers and crew were saved. Thomas Lynch was educated in Eng land, and was the son of a wealthy South Carolina planter.

HUGHES SUPPORT
 RELATED, LEADER
 OF ''CAUSE" SAYS
Miss Constance Drexel Saws He Didn't Vote For the
 Women in 1915.

New York, Aug. 5-Miss Constance Drexel of Philadelphia, who until re- gently was a Red Cross nurse at the front in France, called at the Demo- cratic national committee headquar- ters yesterday and gave out a state ment warning women not to take too seriously what she termed Judge Hughes eleventh hour advocacy of the Susan B. Anthony amendment" Miss DrexeI was recently converted to wom- an suffrage, she said, by what she had observed in war-ridden Europe.
 T am a member of the Congrega- tional Union for Women's Suffrage and firm believer in the proposed Federal Amendment to the Constitution" she said. ''I listened with rapt attention to MT. Hughes statements on the sub- ject, both in his notification speech and in his remarks on Tuesday at the Hotel Astor. When MT. Hughes was speaking as leader of his party he gave absolutely no support or any hope of support for a Federal amend ment, but only gave his indorsement before a group of women. It is also a fact that the records show that MT. Hughes did not vote on the suffrage issue when he had the opportunity in 1915.
 "On the Federal Amendment MT. Hughes has absolutely no backing from his party, and if elected it is a question as to how much his personal influence could be relied upon. MT. Wilson made a specitl trip to New Jer- sey to vote for woman suffrage, and has repeatedly expressed himself in favor of the principle. There appar- ently is no hope that political expe- diency would cause him to change his mind before election, but Mr. Wilson has several times indicated that he did change his mind when convinced by justice and by reason.
 Regardless of any such expecta- tions, it would seem to me at the present time that there is little choice between the two candidates on that particular issue. To me a woman, the great consideration in this cam .paign, is as to who is best able to keep America out of the war and to rem der the greatest service in the cause of peace."
 Investigators at the Democratic neaQQudII6TS voting record and this statement was made:
 "At the Board of Elections in the Municipal building in New York it was said that the last time Judge Hughes voted was when he was governor or New York He then voted from the Hotel Astor in the Twenty-seventn Assembly District. The record or that district was examined for verlh- cation and his name does not appear as a registered voter last year. NOT did he vote in the twentieth election district where his son, Charles D.. Hughes, Jr., voted. Nor did he vote from his previous home address in West End avenue. President Wilson made a special trip from Washington to Princeton In the fall of 1915 to register and another to vote for the proposed suffrage amendment to the New Jersey Consd- tution."

ADMIRAL BADGER
 63 ON SUNDAY

Rear Admiral Charles Johnston Badger, member of the United States Navy General Board and former com mander in chief of the Uncle Sam's Atlantic armada, will be sixty-three on Sunday, as he, was born on August 6, 1858. Although he was placed on the retired list, under the operation of the age limit, a year ago, Admiral Badger still holds rank as one of the foremost naval authorities of America.
 Admiral Badger is native of Rockville, Md, and is the son of a naval officer, Oscar Charles Badger, who served throughout the Mexican and civil wars and retired in 1885 with the rank of commodore, which corresponds to that of rear-admiral in the present navy. President Grant appointed the future commander of the Atlantic fleet to the Annapolis na- val academy in 1869, and he graduat- ed in 1873 His first service was on the Narragansett in the survey of the Gulf of California. In 18766 he was sent to the Asiatic station returning in 1879 to take up various routine du- ties until in 1884 he was appointed executive officer of the Alert, one of she vessels of the Greeley relief ex- petition. Upon his return from the frozen north1and he was sent to the tropics with the expeditionary force dispatched to the isthmus of Panama. ,kfter several years more at the Asiat- su station he returned to service on
 Inc Atlantic seaboard and served on ,he xUucinnati during the Spanist, war HA was promoted to 1907. whsa he was made superintendent cf aas Uuited States Naval Academy ler awe years.
 As d rear-admiral and commander of :a,N Atlantic fleet, he took nine of his battleships for a 5000 mile cruise to the Mediterranean, and later com u1anded the fleet at the occupation of Vera Cruz.
 Admiral Badger was one of the of- flcers called upon to testify before the House Naval Committee some months ago. On that occasion he said he did not consider war between the Uni tod States and Great Britain as even a remote possibility. but intimated that in his opinion the United States
 should have bigger and better na- " than any other country except Britain. The United States, he ad- mftted, did not have the same neces- sity for a great navy that England has, but he added that eventually, if America was to reach out for its share of the world trade, a powerful fleet might be essential in dealing with anybody who stood in the way Aol a1o

WHO CAUSED THE THIRD AVENUE STRIKE?

STRIKE ON the Third trolley to tie up the transportation Greater New York Recently tue New York papers have been full of advertisements signed Dy managers of the several New York railway systems asserting that the trouble between transportation lines and
 employees IS due to the interference of aliens by which IS that the trolley workers desire be by the officers agents of their unions
 One reading these advertisements might suppose that the stockholders of the New railway system had submitted to gross injustice
 The facts have however been investigated by the Public Service commission which reports that the blame the strike upon President Frederick w. Whdge of Third avenue system who agreed to arbate matters with the poyes and then went away Europe utterly ignoring his promise.
 Says the Public Service Commission speaking thronob Chairman Straus:-

 The finding of the commission contains another important declaration The railroads corporations regardless of the attitude of their officers do not deny the right trolley workers to organize
 Nor by the right to organize do the workers clos a sop nor right with the essentials of pr management but do demand the right be represented committees duly raised to represent the whole number the men on strike.1
 The commission continues without waiting for plete findings upon evidence recommend that both sides together is apparent there substantial diff ferencs between them which justify the continuance of the condons that exist And believe if they take the attsr in tho spirit in which the commission recommends they certainly arrive at speedy satisfactory conclusion
 seems therefore that trolley workers have equity up haar in hxf poyer that these employers have pracced what be regarded attempt to deceive the public
 The Public Service Commission of New beginning 4o justify right to exist It has probably saved New York from vast and costly interruption of business.
