R eaching the city in the course o f his swing through New E n g land ia be half of the N a tional D e m o cratic tick - * «t, he ran into a dem o n stration that w a s extraordinary in its personal trib ute. Everything else w a s forgotten until the populace had shown the Gov ernor how m u ch it thought of him, as an individual. That m a rk of affection w a s first show n at a. dinner in the Governor’s honor at th e Am erican -House, and it had tum u ltuous expression later When 15,000 m en and women jammed the M echanics Building, the largest hall in Boston, to cheer his denunciation of the R epublican National Adm inistra tion and his praise of John W. Davis, the Dem ocratic standard bearer. A s many more stood in a drizzle m erely to cheer him when h e .appear ed, or to catch a few remarks from an insufficient num b er of amplifiers.

A^sibly affected by the evident sin cerity and warm th of the greeting, the Governor had difficulty in controll in g hi.s emotion. Again and again he asked that his_ thanks foe conveyed to the .M assachusetts delegates w h o vot- ed for him so loyally at the Madison Square Garden convention last sum mer. The crowd shouted back to him that he w ould be their choice for President four years from now. Bands, a parade and rod fire helped along the demon stration. W h en it w as all over the Governor e^xpressed regret th a t he w o u ld be un able to spare m ore tim e from his ov/n cam p a ign to give to the national tick et and its leader, “the greatest D em o - . crat in the country.” Leaders here told him that already he had aw a k e n ed new enthusiasm for the D em o cratic cause in the nation. In his m a in speech of„the night the Governor attacked the policy of sil ence adopted by his opponents and their unw illingness to discuss the m a n y issues he said were now before th e American people.

FIFTH GAMi BEING PLAYED New York, Polo Grounds, Oct. 8 — McGraw and Harris were prepared to train the “Big Berthas” of their pitch- staffs at each other in the fifth game of the world series to gain advantage before the scene shifts to the N a tibhal. Capitol for the six th . game. Both Nehf and Johnson, opponents in tlie first gam e prepared to renew their conflict. The batteries were: W ashington, 'Jbhn-son and Ruel; New York, B e n t ley and Gowdy. First Innings W ashington went out in one,two, three order in the first inning. Liiidstrom hit the first ball for. a single, but w a s out stealing, after Frisch and Young had flied out. Second Inning. W ashington goc tw o m en on bases, and Rev. Sheldon Vandeburg were re- elec^'^ to* thfeir tespectlve' offSees o f stated clerk and treasurer. The chief bu.siness before classis w as the consideration of the vertures -from General Synod. This included m a tters relating to denomination pol icy on th e home and foreign policies. A cnstitutinal am endm ent relating to the retirem ent of professors at the theological sem inaries at the ago of seventy w'as rejected. The “askings” of the Progress Coxmcil for denominational benevol ences for 1^25 provoked considerable discussion. The mat\er was referreil to a special committee of classis for revision. Resolutions were unanimously adopted calling upon the churches to give more prayerful and earnest heed to the religious instruction in home, in school, and in church, in order that the w a v e of crime now in such evi dence may subside. A stirring address w a s delivered by Dr. John Ingham, of N ew York, sec retary of the Progress Council, in which he drew lessons of encourage m ent from .the histocry and tradition of the Reformed Church, and from the present day challenge. The Classis adjourned to m e e t in the ShawangUnk Reformed church in April. i l r NEYYTON PASTOR TALKS TO BROTHER ROTARIANS Rev. Jam es K. Easley, pastor of the M e t h o d c h u r c h of Newton, N.

PROHIBITION AGENT Susquehanna, Oct. l '-—Like the ta bled pitcher w h ich w ent lo the w e ll once too often, Henry Lupton, a resi dent of (Susquehanna of several m o n ths broke into John W. Stead’s m eat market on Main street, once too often, fell into th e hands of Proprie tor Stead, and is now in the county* jail at Montrose aw a iting the action of the Court. Mr. Stead captured Lupton last night at 7,45 a t the point of a revol ver, after he had fired tw ice to fright en him. Lupton, w h o w as taken by surprise ju s t after he had opened the cash register threw up his hands ■and surrendered w ithout a struggle. H e w a s then turned over to Chief Stockholm and placed in the Borough jail. Today he was arraigned before Justice W illiam s, w h o committed him to jaii at M ontrose to aw a it the, tion of the the Court. For the -past two m onths the Stead m eat m a rket on Main .street has been 'burglarized regularly and system a ti cally. Money has been taken three and four tim es a week from the cash register; hams, butter and other goods have also been taken. The burglar never took all the money in the cash register, and cov ered his tracks in such a w a y that Mr. Stead and the em p loyes of the market were com p letely mystified. Last paynig’ht, the cash register was lib b e d df about .$28, and still considerable money w h ich m ight have been taken was ignored. ’ Monday evening, Mr. Stead and Martin K a n e arranged to w a tch the niarket. j Mr. ^tcad w a s to remiain unlil micinight, *when he w as to be relieved by Mr. Kane. , H iding in a hall in th e market, Mr. Stead about 7:45 heard someone a t work on a vdnddw in th e rear of the store. The w indow w a s taken out, and a person entered the market. The figure stole through th e dark ness to the cash register, and open ed it. As the register w a s opened, Mr. :0tead( {fined his revolver stepped into the m arket, switched on the lights, as he did, and called “hands up.” Lupton was at the cash register and he threw both hands up and m a d e no resistance. Covering'^im w ith the revolver, Mr. Stead searched him for firearm s. H e w a s unarmed. Then Mr. Stead turned Lupton ov er to Chief Stockholm, w h o placed him in the lockup. Lupton, w h o is about 50 years old, cam e to Susquehanna several months ago. Hp professed to be a chef, and was alw a y s “looking for w o rk in his line.” He spent m u ch lim e loafing along Main street in the vicinity of ■the Stead m arket. He had no visi ble m eans of support, and how he liv* ed was a mystery. It is no longer a m y stery as he was taking four and five dollars a night from the Stead market, and occasion ally he took goods. Mr. Stead figures that he is out at least $200 by Lupton’s operations. In entering th e market, Lupton showed great skill in rem o v ing.arid replacing a window, so as to cover his tracks. He left no m a rks to show how the store w a s entered.
