WELDING RING
 IS WORKING TO RETURN WILSON
National Calamity Not to Re- Elect Him, Says Exchange
 President.

New York, Oct 10.-Failure to re- elect Woodrow Wilson, according 70 Welding Ring, lifelong Republican until 1912, twice President of the New York Produce Exchange and mem Der of all the important trade bodies of this city, would be a national call amity. "I am working with might and will to bring about the re election of Mir. Wilson" Mr. Ring said today. "I. am for him because he is one of the few men I ever voted for who lived up to all his promises. He has fulfilled every pledge he made before his cleo tion and more. It is honesty and sim cerity that appeals so strongly to all men, especially those who recognize the importance of these virtues in their own business enterprises.
 "I notice the Republicans are try ing to make much capital out of the Eight-Hour law. As matter of fact, just such a law had 70 come. and it is only question of a short while un- til it will be applied to all the trades.
 ~'Mr. Hughes speeches are flat and unconvincing. His campaign has been a negative one from the start. He has had nothing definite to say and those who hear him invariably are disappointed. He spends his time cri- ticizing MT. Wilson, but I notice that when he is asked what he would have done under similar circumstances he invariably dodges the issue. That has been his course all the way through lodging everything vital that is upper most in the thoughts of the people of the country today.
 My candid opinion is that senti- ment is rapidly changing to MT. Will son. Those who were not enthusias- tically for him a few months ago are now avowedly his champions. They recognize that the country is now en- toying the high tide of prosperity. Farms, factories and shops are work ing full time. and the profits that are accruing all bespeak one of the great est administrations this country ever enjoyed"
 MT. Ring is chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the New York Chamber of Commerce and president of the American Exporters Associa- ton. He has been an active member of the Produce Exchange for twenty five years and of the Maritime Ex- change almost as long. He is a di- rector in several banks and promin- ent iii charitable circles.

trolled all the output of aluminium in the United States.
 ''The president of the company un- der oath testified that the minimum power that the scheme would deliver was 500,000 horsepower, and the maximum 100000.
 'This was the most gigantic gift of potential elective power ever made by any civilized government on earth at one time and it was made to five un- known men, who immediately trans ferred it.

PANAMA BUSINESS
 MEN ARE OPPOSING
 EMPLOYERS LIABILITY

Panama, Oct. 10-The employers liability law which has passed the Ma tional Assembly and is in the hands of the president for signature is be- ing vigorously opposed by local busi- ness interests and foreign corporations doing business in the Republic. The latter feel that in event of the act be- coming law it will be applied unequal ly and made means of holding up the outside corporations. The opposi- ton of local interests is based partly on the application of the law to them selves and partly on their general de- sire to have nothing done to discour- age the investment of capital.
 The most objectionable feature, ac- cording to the opposing employers, is the provision of half pay during sick ness incurred while at work. This is believed to be capable of infinite abuse, for the reason that many of the laborers lay off a great deal and lie around their quarters in a condition between plain laziness and a sort of sickness which is the result of hook worm and lack of proper nouris1n,ent. About 70 per cent of the people have the hookworm, according to the re- ports of the Rockefeller Foundation and in some districts over half of the people are chronically infected with malarial fever.
 Another prime objection to the law lies in the procedure outlined for its application. This requires that funds be deposited in the National Treasury to guarantee the payment of liabilities, or that every employee he insured in an insurance company for the purpose to be organized in Panama. Thc for eign corporations profess to believe that the funds they put up will be stolen, and they do not thTnk an in- surance company could be handled economically or even safely, so that flasy. -V@o uld. be liable to- lose all that they invested with one.
 The corporations contend that the law, while excellent in many respects is too far ahead of the economic and sanitary developments of Panama. They claim it has been adopted from laws recently enacted in highly de- veloped countries and is not applica- ble to Panama.

R0FRAN0 TRIAL FOR MURDER IS
 N. '. SENSATION
Not Since Becker Trial Has Such an Action Been
 Staged.

New York, Oct. 1O-Michael A. Ro- franc. lawyer. political opponent of Thomas F. Foley, and former Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner, went to trial yesterday before Justice Weeks in the Criminal Branch of the Su- preme Court on the charge of insti- gating the murder on March 8, 1915, of Michael Gaimari, lieutenant of Fo- ley.
 A special panel of 25O talesmen was on hand when court opened. The day was spent in the selection of jury. Sidney Abenheim, an exporter and im- porter, whose home is/ at 36 West Thirty fifth street was the first juror accepted and will be foreman.
 Joseph Brondini, who was indicted jointly with Rofrano, is scheduled to go to trial after Rofrano. It has been agreed by the District Attorneys of fee and counsel for the prisoners that they be tried separately.
 Assistant District Attorney George Brothers is prosecuting Rofrano, who is defended by Martin W. Littleton.
 Convicts, one of them from the death house, will be brought to New York by the District Attorneys of flee in it's effort to prove it's charge that the lawyer bought the death of Gaimari.
 Not since the trials of Charles B0tker, police lieutenant, executed for inspiring the murder of Herman Ros- entha1, the Tenderloin gambler. have ward politicians and their hench-
 ;&-I ested in a case.
 back several years to a time when Rofrano fostered an ambition for Con- gress and nursed his power in the Second Assembly district so that he was in a position eventually to de- mand of Tom Foley the Congressiona nomination. When Foley refused Ro- franc, by that time leading figure in the district, established an opposi- tion organization.
 From the political feud that ensued developed a tangle of crimes. Gun= stilettos, brickbats and blackjacks were brought into play. And from the series of crimes developed a num- Der of cases that resulted in the des- patch to prison of a dozen persons.
 Murder charges were filed against eleven men. Gaetano Montimagno was convicted of the actual shooting of Gaimari. He is now in the leath house awaiting execution. He will be 6 witness for the State in the Rofrano trial. Albert and John Gaimari were acquitted of the charge of murder. Joseph La Sa1le, Antonio La Sale, Rocco Garniva1e and Frank Fenni- nor are in Sing Sing for their con- "ection with the death plots of the Rofrano-Foley feud. Nicolo Geno was exonerated.
 The others accused of homicide are Rofrano. Salvatore Curica and a man whose name has nct yet been disclos- ed but whose indictment was anncunc- ed last Friday.

BRITISH CLAIM RECORD
 N AVIATION RESCUE

Ismai1ia, Egypt, Oct. 10-British aviators claim a record feat perform ed during the recent raid on the Turk ish aerodrome at Ell Arish. During the raid one of the pilots was forced to land several miles west of Fl Arish his machine having been damaged by shrapnel. While trying to repair his engine, he was discovered bY another British machine, carrying a pilot and an observer, which landed beside him to render assistance. It was found that the damaged machine was past repair and the aviators burned it ito prevent 1t from falling into the hands Of the Turks. The problem then was whether the rescuing aeroplane would be able to carry the three men away. All three climbed in, the rescued man crowding in on top (of the observer. Several attempts were made to get away. but the ground was bad and the load was too heavy. Finally one ofi tho avfators found a stretch or hard ground to which the machine was taken and finally it got into the air with its big load.
 Ninety miles across the desert the three men flew until they reached saf- ety at Kantara. It is claimed that no two passenger machine has ever be- fore flown ninety miles with, three peo- ple aboard and that .he rescue is ore o1 the most unsual since the beginning Of the war.
 The Fl Arish raid also resulted m another unusual feat. The Turks were attacked by the British machine gun fire from height of 200 feet and one British aviator descended to within 100 feet of a Turkish aeroplane which was standing on the ground surround ed by seven or eight mechanics, and dropped a bomb which blew machine and men to pieces. It is said that as a result of this raid the Turkish ar service was completely disorganized for a IT onth.

MAN BUYS QUEER ANIMAL
Looks Like a Rabbit, and Its Hair
Seems to Indicate Crossbread
With Opossum.

Knoxville, Tenn.-Did anyone ever
hear Of half-bread rabbit?
There is one ON exhibition at u
South Gay street store that strongly
resembles what the imagination might
fancy q mongrel rabbit with some
possum blood in it. 1t has the general
form and outline of rabbit but it
has hair like an opossum. Otherwise
it bears no resemblance whatever to
that animal. The hair is also some
what like that of fox squirrels, but
the rabbit" has no "squirrely" ap.
pearance about it.
The animal was purchased by Lloyd
Branson from man on Market
square, 1t is said to have been cap
tured in North Carolina. He paid 50
for the creature just because he de.
sired to find out just what it was
He has hot found out yet. He expects
to have it examined by naturalist.

Fell Before copperhead Was

Georgetown, Ky.-James w. Palmer
shipped load of fat hogs from here
to the Cincinnati market, and when
the car was unloaded it was found
that eight head of the hogs were dead.
Upon examination Of the car a large
cOpperhead snake was found lying
dead on the floor.
When Mr.. Palmer loaded the car
here it contained lot of old bedding,
and Mr.. Palmer put in fresh bedding
without removing what was already
in the car, and the snake was evident
