Mum is the man who was convicted
on a charge Of murder in 1907 and
sentenced by Judge w. S. McClene-
han to be hanged, this sentance later
being reduced to life imprisonment.
One of the striking features in
favor of Mum as brought out at
the board of pardons hearing was
the fact that in addition to having
been a model prisoner in everyway,
Mum has during his confinement IN
Saltwater invented valuable shoe
sewing machine. When Mum first
entered prison a large shoe factory
was in operation and it was because
of this experience that Mum. was
able to bring about his invention.
AS an inmate Of the penal insti-
tuition, Mum was unable to obtain
a patent so he turned over his inven-
ton to the state board of control and
this board secured a patent on the
device. 1t is now installed in large

Loss of Strong Eastern Support Forces G: o. p.
to Change Completely Plan of Fall Campaign

Because of the losses threatened
both in the House and Senate in
Eastern States, Republican managers
are going to make their big drive
to hold these gains and attempt the
ousting of Democratic incumbeuts In
all Of the Western States. This is
the more important, they say. be-
cause in the East there are twenty.
three seats now held by Republicans,
which, after the 1915 or 1913 cleo
tions, or both. were held by Demo
Gratis. These include eight districts in
New York, four in Pennsylvania, four
in New Jersey. three in Massachus-
setts. two in Maryland and one each
in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
The House is the great Republican
concern now. And, if present Repub-
lican plans carry, there will be every
likelihood Of the West dominating the
party's policies after the fall elections.
This, as some Republican leaders
claim. will be fitting rebuke for the
Eastern influences whose defeotions.
they say, may swing many Eastern
districts into the Democratic column

NEW YORK. Aug. 1e,-The new
est development in the existence OF
the Stutz Motor Car Company was its
sale to Charles Schwab today.
Schwab undoubtedly has plans to
develop the property and make I.
dividend payer along with the other
big motor car companies.
When Allan A Ryan, former Stutz
owner, got into difficulties he Of
Bethlehem Steel, but Schwab per-
suaded him to withdraw that resigna-
ton. Schwab was one Of Ryan's
creditors to the extent Of sS05,00o.
Despite the evidences of friend
ship between Ryan and Schwab there
is a strong belief that Ryan may have
nothing further to do with Stutz.
The rise in Stutz on the curb to-
day was based partly on the magic
of the name of Schwab. The next
step probably will be the relisting Of
Stutz stock on the Stock Exchange.
Schwab made an inspection OF the
property several months ago. He was
assisted by engineers of the Stude-
baker company. This does not mean,
however, that Studebaker is to be-
come interested in any way with
Stutz, as Schwab is one of the largest
holders of Studebaker stock.
Schwab denied he was personally
seeking control of Stutz and it is the
opinion Of the street that he is but one
of several bankers interested in the
nurchase.
