ROOT SAID TO BE
WESTERN CHOICE
Justice Hughes Believed to
Have Best Chance for Pres
ident, Writer Finds.
BURTON HELD FORMIDABLE
Wae-ttington Newspaper Mn Says
Progressive Republicans Would
Support "Wilson Rather Than
Vot for Standpatter,
OtEGO.VlAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 14 "Elibu Root is the
man the Republicans prefer it they
thought he could be elected, and Jus
tice Hughes is the one they think would
stand the best chance of election."
In this way does the chief political
-Titer on a Washington newspaper size
up the Republican political outlook in
the West, as he observed sentiment on
a three weeks' trip that took him to
the Rocky Mountains and .back over
most of the Middle and Western States.
H did not gro to the Pacific Coast.
This same writer found the Western
Democracy solidly for President Wilson.
"He is the alpha and omega of his
party," he wrote of President Wilson,
adding "And daily growing . in favor
with Republicans. William J. Bryan
haa farted utterly to make any head
way against the President, if he ever
Intended to."
BnrtBs Next t Hua-bea.
Speaking of ex-Senator Burton, of
Ohio, this writer expresses the opinion
that "Mr. Burton is a formidable can
didate with Justice Hughes eliminated.
He is a positive candidate and in the
race."
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, who
had toured the West earlier in the Sum
mer, was found to have left behind
quite a reputation as a "glad -hand"
artist, and was frequently mentioned
as a man who "looks like a President."
Aside from the local indorsement of
this, that or the other candidate, it ap
pears from this correspondent's dis
patches that there is no crystallization
of sentiment in the Republican ranks
of the West. The Progressives, gener
ally, have gone back to the Republican
party, but with the determination of
fighting within the party for the over
throw of the old stand-pat leaders, and
for the nomination of a moderately
progressive Republican on the National
ticket next year.
Standpatter Opposed Firmly.
There was no evidence of a desire on
the part of the returned Progressives to
insist on the nomination of one of their
number next year. But, he said, the
price of nominating one of the old
stand-pat leaders would be the loss of
the votes of thousands of Progressive
Republicans, who would support Wil
son at the next election in preference
to a died-in-the-wool standpatter.
All through the West were indica
tions of the activity of press agents
of several of the Republican aspirants
for Presidential honors. Others who
have no press agents at work, and
whose names are being favorably con
sidered, are being weighed for their
known worth and in the light of past
public service. And a notable thing
about the observations, as recorded, is
that the men who appear to be strong
est are those who are avowedly not
candidates for the nomination.
' Borah-Hurt on Meeting; Interests.
There has been much speculation
among politicians of late over the con
ference held at Boise a short time ago
between Senator Borah and ex-Senator
Burton. That this conference was one
of the main objects which Mr. Burton
had in going West has become known,
but as to the result or the significance
of the conference, nothing appears to
be known publicly.
That Mr. Burton would like to see the
Idaho Senator chosen to head the Re
publican ticket is kneavn; indeed, it is
known that Mr. Burton more than once
urged Senator Borah to become an ac
tive candidate for the Republican nom
ination. That Senator Borah, In turn, urged
Mr. Burton to get into the race Is said
to'be a fact, and that each of these Re
publican leaders has great respect for
the other Is an open secret in Washing
ton. Importance must have attached to
the conference, for Mr. Burton would
hardly have made so long a trip merely
to visit his friend for a day.
Burton to Stay In Raee.
"Mr. Burton is in the Presidential
race to stay," said one of his friends,
after his return to the East. "There
will be no further announcement of his
candidacy than has already been made.
The public understands that Mr. Burton
Is . actively seeking the Republican
nomination: it is recognized in Ohio,
and that he will be Ohio's first choice
is now practically determined.
Already Mr. Burton has opened politi
cal headquarters in Cleveland. O.. and
it Is probable that he may open head
quarters in Washington or some other
Eastern point early in the coming Win
ter. From now until the Republican
National Convention assembles, Mr.
Bui-ton will work to his utmost for the
nomination: his friends will aid him In
every way possible, and he has, at this
early date, reasonable assurance of sup
port from at least four states outside
Of-Ohio."
hattan, but never rose to the oppor
tunity until Friday. Her sister, Mar
garet Dooley. 69. had had the same un
satisfied yearning. They had read of
the white lights of Broadway, of the
restaurants, the taxlcabs, -the dancing
palaces and all of that. Many years
ago they knew of the Bowery and Its
wickedness. They secretly longed to
take a peep just to see how the other
half lived.
But the perilous cruise on a ferry
boat or journey across Brooklyn bridge
held tbera back.
Every morning at 8 o'clock for many
years they attended mass in' the Church
of St. Martin, in Humboldt street. After
the mass Friday they agreed that "the
devil grappled with them on the church
steps, took possession and led them
into the wicked City of Manhattan."
They wandered through the rain. In
nocent of the fact that wickedness
usually lurks at night, plodding on
and seeking-the sights of which they
had heard. They were exhausted and
bewildered when, at One Hundred and
Fifty-seventh street and Broadway
oh, yes; they found Broadway a poliee-
inan, who saw they were drenched with
the rain and' weary, took charge of
them. -

"GRASS WIDOW RULE" IN
Civil Scrvic Examiners Bar Now All
Applicants of This Type.
WASH1NX5TON. Oct. 15. The rule of
th Postoffice Department that "no
Krass willows need apply" was adhered
to today by the examiners of the Civil
Service Commission In examining ap
plicant.. This is not a new rule, but
It Is being enforced more strongly now
than ever before.
The PcstoflH-e Department has had
a ; regulation lor several years that
barred Irom its civil service roll "mar
Tied women." "Grass widows" are con
sidered married, but "divorced" women-
are not. and therefore are eligible.
Recently the Postoffice Department
and the Civil Service Commission let
up on the grass widows somewhat.
Women who were separated from their
husbands without fsult of their own
and were struggling for a living were
admitted, but the drawing of the line
between those who were grass widows
for cause ami those who were grass
widows by no fault of their own be
came a bone of contention and all
grass A'idows were barred.
SISTERS LOST ON STREET
Aged Brooklyn Pair Never Had Seen
- Great White Way.
NEW YORK. Oct. 14. Mary. Pooler
had lived in Brooklyn all her life of
"h years. Spe had been ambitious to
make the perilous journey to Man-
Diamonds, Servants, Etc., Promised, bnt
Trip Across Continent to Wed
Is All for Xongnt.
NEW YORK, Oat.. 14, Miss Amy
Perkins, a beautiful English woman 35
years old. a graduate of the Boston
Conservatory-of - Music and' an author
ess of note, waited in vain at the rail
road station in Pasadena, Cal., last No
vember fer Robert E. Clarke, supposed
to be a physician of Poughkeepsie, to
claim her aa his bride.
Her romance shattered, - Miss Perk
ins returns to her home at No. 49 East
Thirtieth street. . and her attorney,
James F.- Dillon, has begun an action
to recover J3000 in bonds which she
says she advanced to Clarke. She al
leges ho sold the bonds to the Seaboard
National Bankand the KJngs County
Trust Company, and names them as
defendants with him.
Miss Perkins, who has a comfortable
income from the estate of her parents
in England, says in her complaint she
met Clarke as a physician at her home
last October.
"I was weak and sick," she asserts,
"and Mr. Clarke told me he was single.
"He said he was a specialist, di
recting the preconceived thoughts of
others and controlling their minds in
obedience to his will, and applying an
infallible remedy to each sickness and
disease.
"He represented he was of large
means, with a beautiful home at Pough
keepsie. He represented that he and
I were of the same kind and character;
that each of us was endowed with the
power of communication with the spirit
world and fathoming the unsolved mys
teries of life: that he knew of his own
knowledge by analyzing my mind and
personality that each of us was at
tracted to the other by the unity and
sympathy of the Immutable laws of
Nature and of love, the manifestations
of affinity,, the union of two souls in
one soul-world.
"On October 30 last we agreed to'
marry. He stated it was immaterial
to him where we settled down, whether
in Chicago or Pasadena, as his practice
as a physician was assured.
"He told me that diamonds, 7 a seal
skin coat, an auto, a luxurious home,
and a retinue of servants, flowers, daily
sunshine and the beauty of Pasadena
would be mine as his helpmate. He
confirmed his protestations of love by
giving me a. promissory note for 2500
and making a will giving me all of bis
property."
Miss Perkins - says she gave Clarke
the bonds, and he said he would start
immediately for Pasadena to buy and
furnish their home. She started for
California on November 14. She waited
in Pasadena until December 2 witbout
receiving any word. When she again
met Clarke here, she says, he 'refused
to wed her or return her bonds.
"Instead." she declares, "he assigned
me to a home where 'all hope abandon,
ye who enter here.' The poetry of his
speech 'and the brilliancy of his prom
ises were rainbows of false hope, made
as a cloak to conceal his fraud and Im
position.
Clarke's last address was the Morgan
House, Poughkeepsie. but at that hotel
all knowledge of htm was denied.
CRIME TOLD TO SAVE KIN
Italian, Who Killed Countryman in
December, Prevents Relative's Trial.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 14. To save
a relative who had been arrested for
the crime. Dominlck Dallara admitted
in the Court of Oyer and Terminer that
It was he who shot and killed Vln
cenzo Corbi at Seventh and Water
streets last December. A verdict of
voluntary manslaughter was rendered
by the judge, but Judge McMichaels
deferred sentence pending the outcome
of a- motion for a new trial. Gregorio
Lomanna, who was falsely accused and
has been under $5000 ball since his ar
rest shortly after the killing, now will
be spared the ordeal of facing a jury
on a charge of murder.
The shooting of Corbi followed a
quarrel with Giovanni Renierl, another
relative of Dallara. Corbi was beat
ing Renieri when the latter called for
aid. Dallara responded and Corbi
struck him in the head. Dallara left
the city after the shooting, but gave
himself up about three months later,
when he learned of the arrest of Lo
manna. He had been hiding near
Shenandoah.
CHILDREN GRIEVE FOR PET
Village Pointer, Attacked by Dis
ease, Chloroformed- by Master.
NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y Oct. 15.
The children of Sutton Manor are
mourning the death of. Little Boy, a
painter owned by William M. Harding.
The dog was the pet of the children
for 13 years. When he recently became
a victim of a disease Mr. Harding de
cided to chloroform the dog.
Little Boy was the cause of the or
ganization of the New Rochelle Hu
mane Society. Five years ago, when
Westchester County was quarantined
against rabies, the dog had to wear a
muzzle. He objected so strongly that
Mr. Harding addressed indignation
meetings in New Rochelle and later
organized the humane society, of
which he is the president. The society
has erected fountains in this city.

Belief That - Fruit Ia Damaged Net
Justified, Say Scientists, aa Wild
Berries Are Preferred. "
WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. That
thrushes the group of birds In which
are Included robins and bluebirds do
a great deal of good and very little
harm to agriculture. Is the conclusion
reached by investigators of the United
States Department of Agriculture who
have carefully studied the food habits
of these birds. Altogether there are
within the limits of the United States
11 species of thrushes. Ave of which
are commonly known as robins and
bluebirds.- The other six Include the
Townsend solitaire, the wood. the
veery. the gray-cheek, the olive-back
and the hermit thrushes.
The robbins and bluebirds nest cloaa
to houses, and even the shyest of the
other species are content with the
seclusion of an acre or two of wood
land or swamp. For this -reason the
thrushes are among the best-known
and most carefully protected of native
American birds, and at times their
numbers become so great that It Is
feared they will do much harm to crops
and fruit. The recent Investigations of
the Department of Agriculture, how
ever, show that there is very little
ground for this fear. On the other
hand, they destroy such a vast num
ber of Insects cch year, that It Is
probable that without them many crops
would suffer serious damage.
Of all the thrushes, the robin Is
probably the best known. It has been
frequently accused of destroying fruits
andberriesf but It has now been ascer
tained that this only occurs in regions
that are so thickly settled that there
Is no wild fruit upon which the robin
may subsist. In some years the bird
is a great pest in the olive orchards of
California, but it is probable that they
are driven to the orchards because of
the scarcity of native berries at these
times. Where wild fruit is available.
the birds seem to nrefer this, to tha I
cultivated varieties.
Like the robin, the bluebird Is very
domestic, but unlike the robin. It does
not prey upon any cultivated product
or work any injury whatsoever to the
fruitgrower. During the fruit season,
in fact, five-sixths of its food consists
of insects. It seems, therefore, that
the common practice, of encouraging
the bluebird to nest near houses by
placing convenient boxes in which it
may build. Its home, is thoroughly
Justified.
$5000 DAMAGES SOUGHT
Ex-Servant Sues to Recover for Bite
by Pet Dog".
NEW YORK, Oct 13. Miss Marie
Weber, formerly employed as a maid
servant by Mrs. Anna Walter, of Belle
Harbor, L. I., has begun action against
Mrs. Walter in the Supreme Court, al
leging that a French oulldog owned by
her onetime mistress attacked her Sep
tember 15 at the Walter home. She
seeks to recover S5000. The dog had
bitten a man and a girl before he at
tacked Miss Weber, she asserts, and de
spite his alleged viciousness Mrs.
Walter refused to have him muzzled
in her home.
The attack on Miss Weber is said to
Ishave occurred in a bedroom of the
Walter home, the animal biting her
lower lip and nose, scarring her for
life. She says' she is in constant fear
of hydrophobia.

My Name Is Coffee
I Fool the People
All the people can't be fooled all the time, but
I've been pretty successful in fooling part of them,
although more and more, I am sorry to say, they
are getting wise to my pretensions.
How do I fool them? I'll tell you.
When scientists say I am not a food, I tell the
people that coffee "is a food," and when drunk
"with hot milk," "a meal in itself, we may say."
Then when the court says "coffee is not a food,"
I trim my sails to the breeze and tellthe people
"there is no reason for supposing that coffee pos
sesses any value as a food."
Nevertheless, to keep, them coming, I tell them
it is a "half food," "an encouraging contribution
to human efficiency." And the people some of
them fall for it.
When noted authorities say the caffeine in coffee
"is a poisonous drug" and hinders digestion, I bring for
ward some chaps who say it "is not a poison" ; "it is an
aid, not a hindrance to digestion." This fools some.
But, there's been such a stir against me, especially by
Postum, that I am hard put for arguments, so one of the
latest things I am telling is : ,
"Beware of taking coffee with a lot of cream in it."
It is the cream, I try to make it appear, and not the
drug, caffeine, that makes a combination that "will in
time lead to chronic indigestion and stomach, heart, and
liver troubles." And some believe me I hope.
But I whisper on the side to people who like cream in
their coffee, "Coffee is always improved when cream is
added to it." You see, I get them coming and going.
There's, one safe way with coffee. Quit it, and for a
pleasant, delicious, wholesome, nourishing beverage, use
Instant
Postum
America's pure food-drink.
Made of wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome mo
lasses, Postum is free from caffeine or any harmful sub-'
stance. It points the way to health and comfort and free
dom from coffee troubles.
