MADE. HIS OWN CHANGE FOR A
CAREER.

Jim lived with us at that time, and
by the time he was seventeen he'd
learned all could teach him, so he
passed his examinations and became
a teacher himself, in Titus District,
north of here, and also in Rockville
School. He was the youngest teacher
we'd ever had in those parts.
AT that time / owned the Middle
town News-S Signal, a weekly country
newspaper, and during vacation Jim
worked on II instead of going back
to his fathers farm. He was devil,
composition, reporter, errand boy and
helped run the old hand press. Then
one night came the train wreck that
really made Jim Cox. The National
Cash Register people were having a
picnic at Woodsdale Island, in Butler
County, and their train was side
tracked here at Middletown. Orders
got mixed somehow and freight
train crashed into the picnic train
and lots of people were killed.
Jim was the first to get to the
wreck, and after he had all the facts.
the list OF dead and the injured, he
got old Bob Todd, the telegraph ope-
rator, out of bed and sent the story
to the CINCINNATI Enquirer and put
clean scoop on every other paper
in Ohio.
What came after that was an offer
OF $50 a week from the Cincinnati
paper. Jim looked on that as a
princely salary and couldn't resist it,
so he went to Cincinnati and learned
&c be first class reporter Paul
Sorg, the tobacco man, took a liking
to him, and when Sorg went to Con-
gress Jim went along as his private
secretary. He stayed in Washington
until 1898, and then bought the Day
ton Daily News with money Sorg lent
him. That was all the help Jim
needed-you see where he is to-day.
Il think that I'm the one who made
a Democrat of Jim Cox" the Post
| master continued, after a moment's
pause. He was born a Republican
for the reason, l suppose, that all the
farmers about Jacksonburg were Re-
publicans. They'd been AbolitloniGts,
you know. ! was a Democrat and
so was my newspaper, and Jim didn't
hear anything from me but Demo-
cratic talk. l argued and reasoned
with him, and his views and the
Democratic idea grew in his heart as
well as in his head. Jim may have
been a Republican when he was
thirteen, but the first vote he cast at
| twenty-one was Democratic. That
change in him always reminds me OF
the story of the fellow no was sell J.
| ing puppies. They were marked 'One
dollar apiece He didn't sell any the

next day. This time they were
marked Three dollars apiece When
some one asked him why they'd gone
up in value, he replied: They've got
their eyes open now"

DOCTOR DECLARES
Tells of Marks on Throat
and Other Evidence
of Struggle.

Benjamin H., Hewitt, Town Prose-
cutor of Stonlngton, Conn, says that
according to DIR. Frank Paine OF
Westerly, r. l., Mrs. Arthur De Cor
dova OF No. 251 West seth Street, was
attacked before she was shot and
killed by her chauffeur Bernard b.
Geissler. DR.. Paine examined Mrs.
De Cordova's body after he had taken
the dying chauffeur to the New Lon
don Hospital. He said there were
finger marks on Mrs. De Cordova's
throat end othev evidences of a vio-
lent struggle.
The ambulance doctors assertion
was denied to-day by DR.. Florizel De
L. Myers, associate professor OF ner-
vous and mental diseases at the Post
Graduate Hospital, and brother-in
law of Mrs. De Cordova. He said he
knew from his own examination OF
the body that there had been no at
tack
Prosecutor Hewitt, in making his
announcement at New London, ad-
mitted the belated statement that
Mrs. De Cordova had been attacked
came as a surprise to him, as he had
been told by other physicians, in
GLIDING the Medical Examiner, that
there were no signs Of a struggle. DIR.
Paine did not make his report until
late yesterday.

BELIEVED MURDER AND SUI
QDE THEORY.
If the story of the attack is true,
Mr.. Hewitt thinks 1t throws more
light on the tragedy. His theory now
Is that Geissler was infatuated with
Mrs. De Cordova, and arranged for
his gasoline supply to run out at a
time when the car was miles from
the hotel. This would account for the
hating of the car in the lonely spot
where it was found.
Geissler, infiamed by the whiskey he
had drunk, according to Mr.. Hewltt'H
belief. then choked Mrs. DE Cord IVA
and later realizing what he had done,
shot her and committed suicide. Mr..
Hewitt said his investigation wds
closed, as the authorities were salts
fed it was murder and suicide and
the motive did not concern them.
In regard to criticism for allowing
the removal of Mrs. De Cordova's
body to New York without the usu al
autopsy, Coroner Brown said at Now
London that rs they had no doubt
concerning the case. an autopsy would
have been Of no benefit to anyone.
Evidence continued to come in indl-
eating that Geissler was infatuat I'd
with Mrs. De Cordova. His wife.
Mrs. Anita Geissler, who brought his
body to New York last night, denied
that he was a religious maniac" and
told more OF her marital troubles.
She said the first trouble with her
husband came after finding several
strands Of blond hair in his pocket. =,

HOW FAR NAY MEREDITH cor

How far may the impulse given
Mr.. Meredith by the democrats at
Des Moines send him?
That he will go to Frisco with the
Iowa delegations an enthusiastic unit
for him and making all the noise pos
sible is sure. But what else will Mr..
Meredith's candidacy have behind it?
Mr.. Bryan has approved Meredith.
| Indeed there is somewhat more than
q strong suspicion that Mr.. Bryan
has tentavely selected Meredith for
| his own special favor. II that is so
there is a strong force ready to re-
| lease for Meredith in the democrat
convention: for none is so blind or
so prejudiced to believe that Bryan
will not be a living force in the COM
ing convention as he has been in all
democrat conventions Size that his
torical gathering in Chicago.
That the president is favorable to the
candidacy of Meredith is a foregone
conclusion. Meredith, lately called to
the cabinet Of a president who insists
that all minds shall go along with his.
would not have permitted his name to
be used as It was in that Des Moines
conference without the direct ap-
proval and permission of Mr.. Will
son. From the character Of the pres
ident and that of the president and
the circumstances that surround
their relations that much seems to be
certain.
Thus it appears on the face OF it
that Meredith stands in a position of
advantage TO gather strength from
opposing factions and offer himself
as a compromise candidate to his
party factions. He has also the ap-
peal Of a successful business career,
that advantage Of having made few
If any enemies. a connection with
farms and farmers which is to be
sougth even more this year than in
ether years. Added to all this he is
of the middle west democracy where
more than any other one section the
battle is to be fought out.
With all these appeals to a con-
vention Of a party which is facing
defeat and will endeavor to put the
best foot forward Meredith stands
an excellent chance to be the DEM
ocrat nominee OF 1920
Winning the election is another
story and one that remains to be told.
But with Wilson and Bryan demo-
Gratis making common cause together
and the forces they could combine
behind Meredith there would be a
fight on hand. If the republican con-
vention should err greatly in its
nomination under the impression
that republicans can elect anybody
this year" the outcome OF that fight
is not an easy prophecy.
