DEATH OF OLDEST ATTORNEY Independent Candidates Where Old Party Candidates Favor Bosses , Plan—Chairman Robert E. Gregg of Lewie County in Line. Albany, Aug. 5. Planning* a cam- paign to elc't a majority of the next assembly favorable to a stato-wide di- rect primary law began in earnest here today. The workers were of course the governor's friends, but they represented all shades of political opinion. Promises of ample funds had befen made and the moving spir- its included expert politicians, who knew how to interest and get out the voters. The fact that 18 Democratic staJtf committeemen and 31 county com- mitteemen personally responded to the governor's call for a council of war, whi.e many others sent encouraging letters, had decidewy bracing effect upon the workers. The governor said he would speak-in every county where there was any apparent need for arousing the people. In his judgment the people already are well aroused and the only thing needed is hard work to control the nominations of assemblymen and get out the vote. It was stated that where an anti-state- wide primary man was nominated by the organization of either party, a candidate pledged to support the di- rect primary plan would be named and supported against him. This may he necessary in a nunvDer of counties. Ex-Congressman Theron Akin, In- dependent Republican, in addressing yesterday's meeting, said: \When they talk about impeachment it is time that we had a Cromwell in this state. They'd never impeach me if I were governor of this state—neither Murphy, Barnes or any other gang. But you can't ask a man to fight with a stuffed club. Give (is shooting irons and ones that will repeat. If I were governor I'd send- out and tell them to bring this man's head on a pole and that man's head on a pole, and I'd give no reasons why.\ Eugene P. Scribner of Gloversville said: \I believe the governor is trying to carry out the party pledges in good faith. If the time comes that he does not do this I shall oppose Mm. I • want to say that any assaults made on : him because of his position on this i question will be utterly futile. | Robert E. Gregg, chairman of the Lewis County Democratic County Committee attended the conference and spoke in favor of the governor's hill. VOTES FOR WOMEN. What a Lowville Suffragette Thinks of the Movement. A member of the recently organized suffrage league in Lowville, in speak- ing of the new organization said, \Yes I have joined the local suffrage league for the simple'reason that at the foun- dation the principle of equal suffrage is right. Believing that women who have the intelligence to take a hand in making the laws whereby their property is taxed, their hours of labor regulated and their children educat- ed, how can any woman do otherwise than take a stand for \votes for wo- men?\ The hiking militant suffragette uoes not have the approval of all of us who are in sympathy with equal suffrage. There are many of us who strongly disapprove of their methods, but in this as in every oyier movement, there are drawbacks, handicaps, call them what you will, but it is the same way in the great parties. There are mud throwers and dirty politicians and while the best element in the old par- ties may greatly object to them, nev- ertheless, they have never entirely been ousted from the party lines. So it is with the militants. They are in the movement but that is no reason why women who do not like their attitude, but who believe in equal suf- frage, should sit quietly at home and let a cause that otherwise should suc- ceed do down in defeat. Did you attend the meeting at the court house when Miss Mills, presi- dent of the state organization, spoke? Could you ask for a meeting to be conducted with more dignity? Be- cause one is a believer in suffrage it is not pleasant to be told \You are making a fool of yourself,\ to hear your friends remark \It Is unwoman- ly.\ It is disconcerting to be look- ed at as though you were a crank or a maniac, simply because you believe you rightly should have a voice in making the laws under which you live, and think you can cast as intelli- gent a ballot as the lowest and most degraded of the male sex. All women do not want office. Very few of us are qualified for it and we want to make good. The ballot for women is surely coming and in the not far distant future. It may be that conditions will not be bettered that politics will remain as corrupt as they are today, but we do not think those conditions will prevail. It is not for notoriety but because it is right that we want the ballot and one thing is certain when we have equal suffrage the women will prove a force to be reckoned with. \ ? Shooting Stars.

Goodale of Watertown, Dies, Aged 97 Years. Lawrence J. Goodale, the oldest living attorney in New York state, died at his home, 249 Mullin street, in Watertown, Friday afternoon, follow- ing a long illness. Mr. Goodalu was the dean of the Jefferson county bar and was 97 years old. He was born on the site of the W. VV. Conde hard- ware store in that city. Iiu was admitted to Ihu bar in 1840.

At his home in Boonvillo Sunday morning occurred the deatji of Julius F. Gailluame, one of the oldest, best known and most highly respected reb- idents of that town, after an illness of about two weeks, the result of a stroke. Up to this time he had been in the best of health and at- tended the reunion at Gettysburg. He was a native of Switzerland where he was born in the village of Diesse, Can- ton of Berne, in 1840. When about 10 years old he came with his parents to this country and settled at White Lake. In 1S56 he went to Boon/ille and engaged as an apprentice with E. P. Owens and learned the tailor's trade. Later he was employed with Edward Richards. On the breaking out of the civil war he enlisted in Co. A, 97th N. Y. Volunteers, under Col. Wheelock, being mustered in Septem- ber 23, 1861. He re-enlisted January 3, 1864, and served until mustered out with the regiment at Washington July ly 18, 1865. He then returned to Boon- ville and learned the mason's trade, which he had followed since. He was an enthusiastic G. A. R. man and a valued member of Wheelock Post, No. 97. Surviving him are a brother, David Guilluame of Switzerland, and two sisters, Mrs. Sophia Smith of New Hartford and Mrs. Julia Root of Boonville. ' The funeral was held at the M. E. church, of which he was an attendant, Wednesday afternoon. Surrogate's Court. The following business has been transacted in Surrogate's Court: Estate of Mary A.

The statement was as tuberculosis hosnital. Miss McKech follows: \Ambassador Wilson's resignation has been accepted, to take effect Oc- tober 14th. The part which he felt it his duty to take in tho earlier stages of the revolution in Mexico would make it difficult for him to represent the views of the present administra- tion, in view of the situation which now exists.\ \I am still an 'employee of the De- partment and will be until October 14th,\ said Wilson! At the present time I have no statomoht to make, nor have I made any' plans. I do not wish to criticise my chief for any ac- tion he has taken. Today was the fourth'time that I have presented my resignation to the administration. I did so formally on March 4th, and at thiee other times since then have ur- ged its acceptance. 1 came here to report on conditions in Mexico as I saw them and I have no apologies to make as to my course.\ \I have no information as to the character of the president's proposed plan for the solution of the difficult situation which exists in Mexico,\ the ambassador concluded, \but I am sure that both he and the secretary of state are actuated by the best and most patriotic motives, and have in view only what they deem best for the two countries.\ It is understood that a further state- ment, which will deal with the differ- ences between the ambassador and the administration's plans, will be is- sued later in the day by Secretary Bryan. Inasmuch as Ambassador Wilson has insisted that intervention or recognition of the Huerta govern- ment were the only cures for the Mex- ican trouble, the acceptance of his resignation emphasizes the belief here that the administration does not in- tend considering either of the alter- natives. nie will receive.^' salary of $100 per month.

CHARLES NORRIS TO RESIGN. Well Known Carthage Attorney to Resign to practice Law. The Watertown Times says the ru- mor that Charles E. Norris of Car- thage, first deputy excise commission- er of the state, drawing a salary of $5,000 a year, 'Will resign his position some time in the near future, has been confirmed by some, of his politi- cal friends, who . are' interested An Democratic affairs in Jefferson coun-. ty. While his friends claim that his resignation has been contemplated for some time because of a desire on his part to devote his 'attentions to his law practice, it is reported that the prospective resignation is the re- sult of the warfare now being waged between Sulzer and the Tammany fac- tions of the party. Friends of Mr. Norris assert that he will not resign under fire, even though he has been contemplating filing his resignation for some time. mm CONTRIBUTED CHAIRMAN OF NATIONAL COM- MITTEE GAVE SULZER $500. Schools in New York State Prisons. New York state prisons receive spe- cial attention in a bulletin on \Prison Schools\ just issued by the United States Bureau of Education. The bul- letin describes modern prison prob- lems with special reference to the possibility of reforming convicti j through education. | There are in school daily in the prisons of New York state approxi- mately 1200 men, ranging in age from 18 to 60, according to the bulle- tin. They are classified as, first, the product of city and village street cor- ner gangs; second, incorrigibles from houses of correction and reform schools; third, foreign illiterates. \All these classes are the products of ne- glected childhood,\ says the head teacher at Auburn prison. \The for- eign illiterates are the most numer- ous, over three-fourths of our pupils falling under this head. More than 25 different nationalities • are represent- ed in our city schools. We try to teach these men to\'read and write and speak the English language, and to know something of the customs and law of this country.\ The bulletin points out, in com- mendation of the New York State prison schools, that sessions are held in the day time, when the prisoners are best able to profit by the instruc- tion, instead of at night, as in the ma- jority of penal institutions. Further- more, the New York prison schools generally have small classes, an ad- vantage that is of peculiar value in prison education. \Prison Schools\ is illustrated with pictures of prison class rooms at Au- j llll S here. burn, Clinton and Sing Sing prisons. !

New York, Aug. 6.—William F. Mc- Combs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, contributed $500 to Governor Sulzer's campaign fund last fall. Governor Sulzer did not include it in his sworn statement of campaign contributions, according to testimony adduced today before the joint legislative investigating com- mittee. At a recent meeting the committee brought out the fact that Abram I. Elkus had contributed $500 and Jacob H. Schiff $2,500 to the fund and that neither contribution had appeared in the sworn statement. Mr. McCombs' check was produced by Alexander Gordon, his law partner. It was dated October 9, 1912, made payable to William Sulzer, was drawn on the Guaranty Trust Company of New York and was indorsed with a rubber stamp of Governor Sulzer's signature. Below the governor's name appeared in ink the indorse- ment of L. A. Sarecky, Governor Sul- zer's confidential clerk during the campaign. Other indorsements show- ed that the check had been deposited in the Mutual Alliance Trust Com- pany, where Sarecky kept the cam- paign funds. It was not made clear whether Mr. McCombs' check was an individual contribution or one made in his capa- city as national chairman. Murphy May Testify. Interest in the sessions was aroused by the possibility that both Charles F. iflcation of the present graduated scale of postal rates. One hundred pound rates for short distances either have been left unchanged or slightly reduced; for longer distances they have been lowered; for. 6Q pounds or less all rates have beeri,.,pr,aetically reduced 1 . For packages ,p\'bve than four pounds going more than-200. miles and less than 2,000, the. n§w express, rates are generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 3,000 miles the rates are practically K the same. •. The report and order of the com^, mission prepared by Commissioner John H. Marble, are a virtual affirma- tion of the findings of former Commis- sioner Franklin K. Lane, now Secre- tary of the interior. . • Country Divided Into Blocks. By prescribing the so-called block system, dividing the United States in.-, tp 950 blocks, averaging 2,500 square miles, as originally proposed by Mr. Lane, 900 million different rates now published by the express companies will be reduced to less than than 650,- 000. The general impression in official quarters is that the express compan- ies will attempt to test by legal means the constitutionality of the commis- sion's order. The requirement that a .label shalj be attached to each parcel, is modified to the extent that in case of shipment of perishable property, consisting of two or more packages, the label need be attached to only one package. The express companies had filed statements indicating that the losses of revenue under the proposed 1 rates would be intolerable and argued that the establishment of the parcel post had deprived them of quite 30 per cent of the revenue they formerly received fronv-ria'rcels of 11 pounds or less. They 'conten'de'd that the ex- press business could not survive the losses from both sources. Express Companies Want Benefit. \This is equivalent to saying,\ com- ments Commissioner Marble in his report, \that\inasmuch as shippers have been given the convenience and economy of the parcel post, the ex- press carriers must, on that account, be allowed to charge higher rates than otherwise would be reasonable. That is to say, the commission is called on to take from the shippers of the country all the benefit that they re- ceive from the parcel post and give it to the express companies in the form of higher rates upon the remaining business.\ The new system of rates is not only a simplification of existing rate structures and methods, but in the opinion of rate experts, lay the foun- dation for future practice in all rate revisions. May Use It in Freight Business. While the commission has not con- sidered the practicability of the appli- cation of the block system to the making of freight rates, it is known that the question may be taken up almost at any time. The basis of the classification pre- scribed by the commission is that all | articles of merchandise of ordinary I value are to be carried at first class I or ordinary merchandise rates. Arti- I cles of food and drink with a few ex- ceptions, are second class and are to be carried at 75 per cent of the first class rate.
