John T. Hayes
 Tells His Story

Breaking his silence of twenty two years, John T. Hayes. who in 1900 was sentenced to life inn prisonment for the murder of his sweetheart, Winifred Cook. at last has given the details of the tragedy.
 At the time of the trial, Hayes re- fused to take the stand in his own defense and declined to give any ex- plantation whatever of the shooting. Now. he says. he was carrying the revolver because the girls father had threatened to get" him. The girl took the gun from him at the time, he says. and fearing she would harm herself, Hayes tried to take it from her. It was discharged five times dur ing the, struggle, two of the bullets caused fatal wounds.
 Hayes is now petitioning the Board of Pardons for release from the state prison at Wethersfield. Members of Spanish War Veteran camps in the state have signed petitions requesting that the man be released and prom ising to care for him in this event.

Edward Bellamy once wrote a story and called it Looking Back ward." It was a "best seller" and very successful, which explains the writer's desire to plagiarize the title and call this story Looking Back ward" too.
 What is the use of forecasting to- day a prophecy that an embezzle- ment of a mere sS5,OO0 will throw Bridgeport back seventy-fiEe years? Whats a small sum like that between friends? A shortage in city funds much larger than that was discoV- cred in 1897. after the death of was an unfortunate affair, yet 1t dian set Bridgeport back one minute.
 Those to personally suffer were the bondsmen, who were George Nal lory, Nathaniel Wheeler and ex-May- of Patrick Coughlin. The estates of the two former paid $1O.0O0 each, as both MT. Wheeler and MT. Nal lory were dead before the matter was settled. But ex-Mayor Cough lin one of the finest examples of an cfty's chief executives chair. was forced to mortgage his home to raise his share of the bond. To his ever lasting credit be it said, ex-Mayor Coughlin never murmured or utter ed a word of complaint. He suffer ed his loss in silence.
 The estates of the N1essrs. Mallory and Wheeler were amply able to sus- tain such a loss but to MT. Coughhn it meant little short of actual depr1- walton.
 The city auditor who was to blame for it ali was highly respected and held an enviable position both in so- cial as well as ecclesiastical circles. For many years he was deacon ana treasurer of one of the Congregational

 The dream Of Constantine and the defense of the Holy Sepulchre by the ancient crusaders will furnish the in spiration for the Knights Tenplar. From the tavern of the Goose and Gridiron, the birthplace of the Grand Lodge in Englaand in 1717, the pa geant will pass through the develop ment of Masonry in England, thence into France, with the details sur rounding the French Revolution and Masonic incidents in connection with the unification of Italy under Garl- baldi.

BAD WRECK SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday evening as H. A. Mccoy
was driving along Brown Avenue,
West side in turning into an alley
he met Lloyd Click coming down the
Avenue. Both men were driving at
fair speed and it would seem that
neither saw the other. The cars came
together with terrific impact smash
ing both cars badly. The Mccoy car
sustained the slightest injuries it
seems. The Mccoy car was driven
by Mr.. Mccoy and contained but one
passenger, his little daughter, while
the other car had for it's passenger
Howard Allender the eight year old
son of Rev. Allender. The little fell
low sustained serious injuries about
the head and face and was rushed
with all possible speed to the Davis
Memorial Hospital at Elkins. Sum
day evening he was taken through
here to an eye specialist at Weston.
It is feared that the little fellow
will lose an.eye as result of this
unfortunate accident.

committee every revenue producing
law originates and every such law
affects every living human being in
the United States. It was his plan
that solved the bonus difficulty for
that committee, so far as it was con-
cerned. 1t is the Bowers plan in that
bill which is now enormously called
the McCumber plan since the bill
reached the Senate. He was no less
but not so dramatically responsible
for many schedules in the tariff bill
as it left that committee and passed
the House. The national interests
and West Virginia's interests in this
measure he looked after with scrupul-
Gus care.
The point involved in this is that
for the third time since the State was
formed it has a representative of its
own on the great committee on Ways
and Means. Why lose it?
There is scarcely any danger of it.
Congressman Bowers will be returned
to the job for the very obvious rea-
son that he is the man for it. He
is wholly satisfactory to a majority
of the people whom he represents in
Congress.

HON. GEORGE M. BOWERS

The announcement of Congressman
George NJ. Bowers to succeed himself
is no unexpected development to the
primary campaign. There is every
reason, why he should ask to be con-
tinued, supplied in his official record.
No new man could expect to attain
the high standing and prestige he
has acquired in the lower house of
Congress in anything less than the
time it has taken him. Indeed, even
in that time. He had many years
experience in the executive branch
of the government prior to entering
the legislative branch.
Changing horses in the middle Of
the stream no one will contend is an
expression of high order of sanity.
Nor is switching congressional rep
resentatives every whipstitch advis-
able. In fact, it is a practice that
is the exception not the rule. This
government of ours is in the midst of
unchartered channels just now, it
needs crew on board who are school
ed and experienced.
Congressman Bowers is member
of the powerful committee on Ways
and Means Of the House. In that
