CHIEF JUSTICE WRITES LETTER
SAYING He Is OUT OF POLL.
TICS FOR ALL TIME.
OPPOSED TO USE OF
NAME IN PRIMARY
With Hughes Out Of II, Contest APP
pears to Have Narrowed Between
Cummins and Roosevelt-OId Guard
of East Alarmed Over Activity Of
Cummins in Pennsylvania.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Justice Hughes
has written another letter dealing with
the presidential situation, which seems
to make it virtually impossible for
politicians longer to treat him as a
presidential possibility or to go after
delegates In his behalf.
1t appears former Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock started a Hughes
movement in Virginia, and in doing
so opposed Congressman Slemp, chair
man of the Virginia republican COM
nlittee, the only republican from that
state.
Mr.. Slemp at once wrote Justice
Hughes about it, Justice Hughes re-
piled in a letter dated Feb. 4, which
was made public last night, which
says:
81 am entirely out of politics and
/ know nothing of the matter to which
you refer. I am totally opposed to the
use of my name IN onrection with
the nomination and to the selection Of
delegates in my interest either direct
~ or indirectly"
Would Check Movement.
While Justice Hughes does not say
he would not accept if nominated, it
is pointed out here tina; this letter,
which he has consented to have pub
lished, will make it uphill work to ad-
vance his candidacy.
1T has been plain here for a week
that If Hughes got out of the race, the
contest will probably lie between Cum
Minis and Roosevelt. Various other de-
velopments have served today to give
prominence to the Cummins movement.
For one thing the decision to open
headquarters in Washington and seek
delegates in eastern and southern
states has caused eastern newspapers
to awaken to the fact the Cummins
movement is gaining ground.
Penrose and Oliver Alarmed.
Moreover, Senator Penrose and SEN
ator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, when they
found out that Senator Cummins
would become active in thsir state,
among others. got much excited. They
conferred and planned on how to head
him off.
They fear that Cunmins. as ma
tive of Pennsylvania. will have strength
in the state and they also fear thai

hostile to the Penrose crowd may get

stances. they decided to get former

HE WORE DRESSES rs YEARS.
Blind Cripple Found Woman's Attire
Nor Comfortable,

Winsted ,Conn.-From an isolated
section Of Mount Washington, in the
Berkshires. comes news of the death
Of John Shaver. town charge, who had
been blind and a cripple since his birth
IS years ago.
He wore women's dresses because he
found them easier to put on and take
off than mems clothes. His limbs were
very small, yet the upper portion OF
his body was well developed. He
crawled about the floor and seemed
perfectly happy, and at night slept in
a small crib about foot high that had
been especially constructed for him.
His mind was active and he could
converse with great accuracy on mat
ters that he had heard talked of. The
affairs of the small town he remem-
bered and could readily talk on with
any one. Any story that he ever heard
he always could repeat, and it seemed
that his mind had developed astonish-
ingly.
At one time a few years ago two New
York women became interested in MS
condition and offered to send him 70
Boston for an operation on his eyes Dut
he refused to 60 saying he had lived al
those years in darkness and would re-
main the same Y0r Rli9 reuiasisssssssSS SyeafA.

Chicago, Feb. 1o.-Stop loss selling
tumbled down prices rapidly today in

however. by leading shorts to collect
profits, led to an excited rebound. The

dictions that shipments from Argen-
tina and Australia would remain light!
