conference to promote hi. own poll.
Ileal fortune., and th. Governor, were
ra.lly duped Into becoming a party to

Having raised the ery that the Fed

Uie front of the movement to

re Into th. democratic convention next
rear a. the champion of state rights.
This l a good Issue and a popular
on. in th. South, and If. by ' ' '
adroitly. Governor Harmon can win tb.
support of the South, he will be In a
poimon to make a stronc race for the

move Indicating k.en political fore
sight. If he uas few more trump,
of equal value up hla .leeve. be may
be able to win out over Wilson. Clark

and on whose supposed death she has
collected $5000 ltfe insurance. In an
other company the son' life wa in
sured for 125.000, but the concern re
fused to believe the boy dead, and In
a prison at Auburn. N. Y, found the
man who today greeted Mrs. Klmmel.
"Why. mother, don't you know meT"
the man who claims to be Georce Al

entered the home of a cousin where
the man of mystery has been acknowl
edged as a relative. As he spoke he
stepped forward with arms extended,
but tbe woman recoiled and responded
sharply:
"I'm not so sure about that.
Mai Ia Cross-Examined.
Then she subjected Klmmel to a
cross-examination that went Into de
tails of her son's early life and school
daya In Nlles.
Mrs. Klmmel Is not ready to deny
flatly that the man Is her son, neither
will she admit that his claims are just.
When she saw him in Auburn she waa
emphatlo In her denunciation of his
claims. .
Former acquaintances of the woman's
son are divided as to the identity of
the man.

"I do not want to cheat anyone of
the 125.000 more life Insurance which
my relatives would receive If they

did think I waa dead.

OLD JUNK GASE ENDS
JAKE TVEIXSTEIX LOSES 8CIT
AGAINST 51. BAR.DE SOXS.
Litigation Over $1000 Settlement
Follow in e Arrest of Thieving
Dealer Won by Defendant.
Circuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday
afternoon found for the defendants in
the caae of Jake Welnsteln against M.
Barde tc Sons. Welnsteln had brought
ault to obtain cancellation of three
notes aggregating In face value $500
and the return of $500 cash, declaring
that the money and notes had been
obtained under duress, the agreement
being that the rival Junk dealers were
not to Inettttese criminal proceedings
agatnat him.
The trouble had its inception more
thsn two years ago when Welnsteln
purchased at various times Junk stolen
from the Barde yard by Sam Brutigan.
who was convicted snd sentenced to
Jail for the thefts. Welnsteln said In
his complaint that his rival. In addi
tion to taking away from his place
more Junk than he had purchaaed from
Rrotlgan. insisted that he pay them
$1000 to avoid being criminally proae
cuted himself. Welnsteln alleges that
h. was told that a great deal of the
money he waa supposed to py had
been expended by the Barde in con
nexion with tb deal. Amon thoa

And Baby's Face Broke Out in Red
. Bumps. Spread on Hands and
Arms. Got Worse All the Time.
Mother Says, "I Don't Think Any
thing Else Would Have Cured
Him Expt Cuticura."
"When my first baby was six months old
be broke out on bis bead with little bump.
They wouia ary
up and leave a
rale. Then It
would break out
again and it
spread all over his
head. All the hair
came oat and bis
head was scaly all
over. Then n 1 s
face broke out all
over in red bump,
and it kept spread
ing until it was
on his hands and
arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave
him blood medicine, and had two doctors to
treat him. but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend told
me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In
three days after using tbem he began to
improve. - He began to take long naps and
to stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Kesolvent, two boxes of Oint
ment and three cakes of Soap he was sound
and well, and never had any breaking out of
any kind. His hair came out in little curls
all over his head.. I don't think anything
else would have cured him except Cuticura.
"I have bought Cuticura Ointment and
Soap several times since to use for cuts aod
sores and have never known them to fail to
cure what I put them on. Cuticura Soap is
the best that I hava -ever used for toilet
purposes." (SUrnedl Mrs. F. E. Harmon,

whos. names were ' used in the com
plaint as having received some of It
were District Attorney Cameron. Dep
uty District Attorneys Fitzgerald and
Hennessy, and Detectives Coleman
and Snow.
The trial developed that Welnsteln
Is not ignorant, illiterate and unsophis
ticated as he repreaented himaelf to
be in his complaint, bnt rather a
shrewd buslneas man. Witness after
witness testified that the settlement
hsd been at his solicitation and that
the trouble was adjusted only after he
had sent numerous persons to Inter
cede with the Bardes. In the settle
ment, it developed, allowance waa
made for any Junk over and above
that belonging to them which M. Barde
A Sons took from Welnsteln's yard dur
ing his Incarceration in the Municipal
Jail on a charge of being an accessory
to the thefts of Brutigan. The case
against him was dropped.
Explaining their failure to aocept
Welnsteln's proffered settlement at
once the defendants in yesterday's ac
tion said that their Intention was to
start a civil action against Welnsteln.
