NO PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION

Chicago, June 8. Midnight - The
Roosevelt and Hughes booms have sub
sided, and the '~'favorite sons are more
hopeful of their chances for nomination.
The belief is growing that there Will
be no union of the parties. Most Of
the progressive leaders have shown un-
willingness to accept any other candi-
date than Roosevelt, and the republi.
cans are not disposed to accept such
terms. Roosevelt himself still refrains
from giving any assurances that he will
support any of the candidates proposed
for the republican nomination. Should
he declare that he would support Hughes
his nomination would be assured. No
nomination is looked for until late Sat.
urday afternoon.

These Tireless Creatures Are Built For
the Strenuous Life.

These Tireless Creatures Are Built For
the. Strenuous Life.
Many interesting facts, the result Of
long study, are given by Mr.. Harold
Iastin, an eminent e~ntomologist, in
his book, Insects, Their Life Histo-
ries and uabits.'
Contrary to popular belief, spiders
are not insects. Insects have six legs,
neither more nor less, and another pc
culiarity of the insect is that it has
wings-sometimes two, more often
four. Spiders have eight lsgs and no
wings; therefore spiders are not in
seets.
Insects have no backboneS and no
skeletons. but skins with a hard, dura-
bic surface called chitin. which makes
up a light shell Of armor that forms
the outside of the body, to the inside
of which the muscles are attached. In.
sects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes in the bod
les called %spiracles. Insects have nei-
their veins ncr arteries; the blood is
pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity, where it
bathes and nourishes the organs. In
seets have wonderful and enviable di-
gestive rgans and feed upon and di-
gest almost any substance from which
noueishment may be extracted.
Because of the way they are built,
insects are particularly fitted for the
strenuous life, and a tired insect is u
thing unknown. They are always busy
travelling, buzzing. biting or seeking
some work to do"

GIRL CASHIER HIT,
ROBBED OF $1,000
Three Thieves Escape from
Union Hill, Losing
Tires from Car

Three men walked into the branch
Office of the Prudential Life Insurance
Company at Union Hill, n. j.. shortly
after noon yesterday. Miss Anna
letter, the assistant cashier, was alone
in the place Through her wicket she
found herself looking into the barrel
of a revolver
Where's the money!" demanded the
man behind the gun.
The girl ran for the telephone. One
of the men, racing around the glass
partition, intercepted her. His fist
shot to her jaw and she fell, uncon-
scious.
Nine thousand dollars had been
taken to the bank half an hour be-
fore, but there was still about $1,000
in the safe. The robbers got this, and
also about $500 more from a drawer OF
Miss letters desk.
Down the stairs rushed the robbers
and into Bergenline Avenue. which is
one of the busiest thoroughfares ii
Northern New Jersey. They jumped
into a Ford car which they had left
at the curb and started away at top
speed. Without slackening they
whirled around the first corner. Both
rear tires went flying from the rims.
No alarm had yet been given, and the
men took time to recover the tires
and throw them into the car before
they ratified away.
The loss of the tires made the ma
chine manageable. Half way to Ho-
boken on the Hackensack Plank Road
it bumped into a rock and was aban-
doned, the men making their way be-
yond on foot. Five suspects were ar
rested later, but all were released on
Miss letters failure to identify them.

N. Y.C. TO ATTACK
ADAMSON LAW
Counsel Says Bill Similar
to Santa FEES Will Be
Filed Next Week

The New York Central will soon join
forces with the Western railroads
which have started suits TO test the
constitutionality of the Adamson Law.
Albert H. Harris. vice -president and
general counsel of the New York Cen
trail. said last night bill would be
filed next week. 1t had been reported
that other Eastern roads would take
similar action, but this could not be
verified yesterday.
At the Erie Offices it was said that
George F. Brownell, e-president and
general solicitor. had gone to Washing
ton. 1t could not be learned whether
his mission was connected with the
Adamson law. Another officer declared,
however, that he had not heard any
such action was considered
Mr.. Harris explained that the New
York Central bill was similar to the
one filed yesterday by the Santa Fe.
The Western road charges that the
Adamson law is unreasonable, is an
arbitrary increase in wages without re-
gard to whether existing wages are too
low and is d violation of the fifth
amendment of the Constitution.
THE New York Central will also
contend" Mr.. Harris asserted. that
the provision in the third section of
the Adamson law, which requires the
railroads 10 pay for eight hours work
what they have heretofore paid for the
standard day, cannot be applied to ex-
listing contracts and schedules under
which the men are now working. We
will charge that the Adsmson law is
unconstitutional for that and other
reasons
The bill probably will be filed in the
United States District Court in New
York.
The Western railroads to oppose the
measure are the Union Pacific, Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific. The defendants
are government officials and labor
leaders"

HIT WITH A FISH,
PASTOR ASSERTS
Mr.. Triplett Says Wife
Also Stabbed Min
with Pin
GBy Telegraph TO The Tribune ]

Trenton, n. j., Nov. 10.-The Rev.
John f. Triplett, pastor of Presbyte-
rian church in Woodbury., n. j., who is
suing his wife for divorce, spent all
day on the witness stand telling his
marital woes. Some of the indignities
described by the clergyman were:
A turpentine bath, received at the
hands of his wife.
A chase through his home. at the con-
clusion of which he was stabbed in the
back with a pin.
An assault committed with a mackerel
which knocked of his eyeglasses.
A kick in the shin which took three
or four months to heal and left a per-
manent scar. There were other like
amenities in which he said Mrs. Trip
lett was on the offensive.
The story of the mackerel hinged
upon demand of Mrs. Triplett for
another helping of fish at breakfast.
Mackerel was scarce that day, and
the Rev. Mr.. Triplett had proceeded to
divide the remaining portion so that
the other members of the family could
each have a share. This, he said, an
gered Mrs. Triplett. who reached across
the table. seized the fish and swstted
her reverend husband across the face.
There was no more fish that day and
the Rev. Triplett was minus his glasses.
The episode of the wounded shin fol-
lowed heated quarrel between the
minister and his wife.
The cause of another serious out
break of temper on the part of Mrs.
Trirlett was attributed by her husband
TO his inability to give her $40 for
which she asked one day, renewing her
demands the next. 1t was at the
breakfast table that Mr.. Triplett ex-
planned his financial inability and
asked his wife why she needed the SO.
She replied, he testified, that So was
to purchase a hair destroyer, with
which she hoped TO eliminate an in
cipient mustache which had appeared
upon her upper lip. The other So was
10 obtain instructions from a Chicago
expert in reducing weight. Mrs. Trip
lett at that time tipped the scales at
178 pounds, and was in great hurry
to reduce.
Admitting his disgust at his wife's
demand, the Rev. Mr.. Triplett said he
sought refuge in flight. He ran up
stairs three steps at time, with his
wife in hot pursuit. The clergyman's
progress was impeded by child's gate
at the head of the stairs, and Mrs.
Triplett seized him BY the coat tails
and punctured him several times with
a pin.
At the close of the session before
Advisory Master c. V d. Joline. the
Rev. Mr. Triplett was subjected to a
REORGANIZATION by ex-Attorney Cen
eral Edmund Wilson, counsel for Mrs.
Triplett. Further testimony will be
taken November 20.

frano's own cousin and a Foley bench
man. Rofrano. in his Office in the Mu-
nicipal Building. actually negotiated
with Robert II. Elder, counsel for La
Sale, to render assistance to the gun

"Mr. Littleton vents his fury on De

would have you believe, are the arch
conspirators in this frame-up against
Rofrano." said Mr.. Brothers. 81 am
proud to say they did their duty well
They never sneaked any witnesses away
from the House Of Detention TO New
ark. In doing their duty they even
searched Mr.. Littleton's Offices to find
Salvatore Curica, the escaped witness
for the people. No wonder he is so
angry at them, Talk about a political
frame-up against the defendant. Why,
this mans defence fairly reeks WITH
politics. II is the cry Of defeated

ecutor.
The charge will probably last all
