CHARLES l.. TORREY
 DIES EARLY TUESDAY
,,:l.Iv Known Lawyer and Leading Member of Wind
 ham County Bar
w.. III Ten Days--Death Due To
 Pneumonia

Tha citizens of Putnam were little ..anared to learn of the death at an rpsrIv hour Tuesday morning of Charles L. Torrey, one of the most a;delv known men and lawyers of w;ndham County. His death, there sore came as shock to the commu- nitv in which he has been an outstand ;ng figure since his graduation from Vale college and the opening of a law office in Putnam in February, 1891, thirty-seven years ago.
 Mir. Torrey's illness dated back to Saturday, February 10th, when he complained of feeling cold and i'll while at his office. A friend suggest ed that he should go home, but he replied that he had made an engage ment to meet a client and that he did not want to disappoint the man.
 The following day Mir. Torrey re. mained in bed and doctor was sum- moned. It was thought that he had 4 grippe cold and there were symp- toms of typhoid fever. Cultures sent for analysis came back negative, how. ever. Last Saturday night lobar pneumonia developed and it was this disease that was the cause of death.
 Suffers Great Loss
 in the death of Mir. Torrey this city suffers a great loss. He was a man active in public affairs and espe. cially in the educational department of the town. In his death the Wind ham County Bar loses one of it, most prominent figures. For years 1t may safely be said, Mir. Tcrrey has been in every important criminal trial before the Windham County Supe. rior Court and in most of the more prominent civil cases. As he wouif have said himself he had a finger 1T the pie" whenever there was import ant litigation in progress, either al chief counsel, on one side or the other or being retained by younger lawyer in an advisory capacity or as a triei of the case at bar.
 Mr Torrey was a man of unusua

(CoItlnued from Page Onej 1 so devoted his whole life to it. and when it was decided that Italy would engage in the war on the side of the Entente Powers against the Teutonic Allies Count Ca- dorna, then Chief of the General Staff of the Italian Army, was not only the choice of the King and his advisers as the most able mili- tafy genius, but was also so ae- claimed by the people.
 Born September 4, 1850. he was just under sixty-five years of age when Italy declared war on Aus tria in the summer of 1915, giving him the opportunity to apply many years of tactical study to actual warfare on large scale, becoming within a fews months the directing head of an army of 2,000,000 men, which he divided between service on the Austro-Italian frontier and 1 assistance to the English and the French at the Dardanelles.
 One of the most remarkable points of Cadorna's career was the avidity with which throughout his life he had studied the territory along the northern boundary, where the operations against the Austrians were to be carried out. General Cadorna was man of prodigious memory, often startling the other members of his staff by the ease with which he could cnu- merate in precise detail the diff culties and natural advantages of the most obscure routes, paths and passages, especially mong the Alps.

Attractions At Theatres
1.-THE DESIRED WOMAN
 AT COLISEUM, SUNDAY

An extraordinarily fine mirage was one of the sights to which Warner Bros "The Desired Wo- man" company was treated during the filming of desert scenes near Yuma, Arizona.
 As Irene Rich, star, and Michael Curtiz, director, afterward learned, they were fortunate, as the sky it. lusions seldom occur in this re- zion and only under most favor able circumstances The scene which they seemed to see and which persisted for several min utes was identified as the harbor and waterfront of San Diego, sev- s-eral hundred miles west, and on the far side of a mountain range.
 Included in the cast are William Russell, William Collier. Jr., John Milan, Douglas Gerard and Jack Ackroyd. 'sThe Desired Woman" ]" an exciting rhelodrama of desert love, comes to the Coliseum Sun- day night for two-day run.

The Political
PARADE
BY Harry X. Blackmon

Dl marry H. DidChInou
The approaching visit of Herbert
Hoover to his native state of Iowa,
where he will confer with real farm
ers on the subject of farm relief for
two days at Cedar Rapids affords an
interesting contrast to the Democrat
ic policy of asking a hand-picked
list of farm leaders" to come all
the way to New York City to be
photographed with the party candi-
date.
Reports from California indicate
that Mr.. Hoover expects to begin an
extensive speaking campaign in Sep
TENDER. During the campaign he
plans to visit cities in the east, the
middle west and the border states,
comforting at the same time with
leading citizens on national prob
lens.
Senator Curtis also plans to cam
paign extensively, particularly in the
middle west, which he has represent
ed so effectively in Congress for a
third of a century. His first address
will be delivered in New York state.
What m.ght be called a new ver-
sion of "He Who Gets Slapped" has
as its principal Mr.. John j. Raskob
of Delaware, who undertook to hold
jointly the craftsmanship of the fl
nance committee of the General Mo
tors Corporation and the chairman
ship of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
His former business associates
have given him definitely to under
stand that politics ard business do
not mix, SO far as General Motors
is concerned. Following certain in
timations to that effect from high
officials of the company, Mr.. Raskob
.esigned the craftsmanship Of the fl
aance committee.
Rumors that other members of the
General Motors directorate were in
sympathy with Raskob's political
views were answered by a statement
that not one of the Dupont family
which exercises almost a controlling
interest in General Motors, would OPP
pose the candidacy of Herbert Hoo
yer. And now Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.
president Of the General Motors
corporation, adds the coup de grace
With a statement that his company
will not permit its prestige, its or
ganization or its property to be useG
Tor political purposes"
A rising tide of revolt against
domination by Tammany Hall, which
mas assumed the leadership of the
Democratic party in this campaign
S reliably reported to be ~overshadow
ng ever the farm relief question il
he west. Democrats who have To-
yally supported the ticket for years
confronted for the first time will

ore and more to admire in Hoover
md Curtis, according to those il
ouch with the situation.

! lays" says William Loeb, privat
secretary to Theodore Roosevelt
