AND LOWVILLE TIMES. H. A. PHILLIPS PUBLISHING COMPANY. LOWVILLE, N. Y., THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1909. SPLIT IN DEMOCRACY. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. Followers of Hearst Issue Call In Op- . , t<i Saratoga Harmony. i Items of Interest from Glorious Lovefeast. j Gotham. L'tica, Aug. 15.—From this county' to-day issues a call in opposition to the Democratic harmony meeting at Sara- toga, and it promises to upset many pl:ins and possibly upset harmony alto- ir.'thff in the Democratic party of the State. Aivordintf to the call a progressive Democratic leathering: will be held at Albany on September 4. Hearst Demo- crats are behind the plans. J. Francis Cvrulpn, ex-Assemblyman James L. D.-mpsey and ex-Assemblyman CbriieK ins Haley of Onaida county, A. H. East- mond of Kings and Harry W. Walker, Thomas Sampey and WiUiam McCrea, of New York are among tho3e who have signed the call, and they invite all who favor a Federal income tax, regardless of political affiliations, to attend. t William Jennigs Bryan, William Ran- dolph Hearst, Robert jtl. LaFollette and Augustus Thomas have been invited to address the meeting. The call is as follows : Dear Sir:—Knowing you to come under the head of a \Progressive you an- cordially invited to attend aga^ther- invr of representatives from all the counties in the State, to be held at Al- bany. September 4, for-the purpose of taking such action as will aid in the adoption of the income tax amendment to the United States Constitution. As it has become known that the object of the leading spirits who will control the conference to be held at Saratoga on September 9,and who have been enemies of the Democratic party since 1895. is really to prevent the adoption of the income tax, it is highly important (indeed a patriotic duty) for the Progressive Democrats and Repub- licans to expose the plot of these people and arouse the interest of the masses. The^principle figdres who will be at the'Saratoga conference are members of the lawyer's trust of New York city, and they organized the lobby that pre- vented the recent session of the Georgia Legislature from adopting the income taxfamendment. They are also extend- ing'their plot to othe/ states. Kindly inform anyone who is sincerely in favor of an income tax that he or she will be welcomed at out Albany meeting'and no further invitation is necessary. SUE FOR INFRINGEMENT. NEW PRIMARY IDEA. MARTINSBURG. Wright* Declare Herring-Curtiss Aero- plane Bought by Aeronautical So- ciety Invade* Their Right*. __ _^ New,York, Aug. 23.—Orville and Wilbur Wright, the aeronauts, to-day entered suit in United States Gircuit Court in New York against the Aero- nautical Society of New York,charging infringement of patents rights on their aeroplane inventions. The Wrights complain that the society procured from the Herring-Curtiss Company and Glenn H. Curtiss flying machines al- leged to infringe the Wrights patents and secured Curitss to give public ex- hibitions for which an admission fee -was charged. The Wrights demand that the infring- ing machine be turned oy.er to them for destruction and in addition ask that the court assess damages for three fold the amount of whatever losses they are _found to have suffered by reason of the infringement and the public exhibition or rental of the infringing machine. A hearing in the suit will probably be early in October. Aeronautic experts to-night generally viewed the suit as in the nature of a test case brought to determine legally whether the Wrights' patents cover effectually all aeroplanes constructed along similar lines to theirs. The Her- ring-Curtiss machine is at present the only American rival of importance in the commercial field, but practically all the experimental heavier-than-air machines which have met with any de- gree of success in the United States have been constructed along lines which apparently the Wrights regard as pre- empted by their patients. MR. TAFT'S GIRTH. , Anti-Fat Physical Instructor i* Doing Remarkable Ihings With the President Beverly, Mass., Aug. 24.—Dr.Charles Barker, the anti-fat physical instruc- tor, has taken just seven inches off the waist line of President Taft. Just how many pounds that represents cannot be told officially, but to the ordinary obser- ver the President does not seem to tip the scales at more\than 308 or 309 pounds. That the President has been able to take off this much weight with- out any diminution in strength speaks well for his splendid health. Jn fact it may even be stated that the President is stronger by 25 per cent, than when he came to Beverly and started doing his \stunt.\ \No one has any idea of the hard physical work the Presdent performs every day of his life,' said a person attached to his household to-day. \Not one man in a thousand would have the perserverance, even if he had' the strength, to go through with what Mr. Taft does. His physical training, you may say, goes on continuously from 8 in the morning until 3 in the after- noon. '^Beginining at 8, he goes through his 'stunts' with Dr Baker, which in- cludes all the regulation gymnasium exercises. These take half an hour. An hour- is given for breakfast. After that it is golf until 3 or 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. During the golf game, the President walks four or five miles up and down hill and swings his arms like a blacksmith; He has a black- smith's muscle now and I'd hate to stand in front of his fist.\ Water Famine Averttd-Cruahing China- ; town—Tim'* Triumph*—Camera ' Clicks—City Camping. New York, August 23.—Nothing short of the recent deluge, that has left its sixth inch of raififall on the soaking] surface of Manhattan Island to-day, could have served to begin to avert the water famine that has for weeks been ; menacing this city. After almost fhree i months of parching heat with less than I half a dozen tiny tries at rain, the j great watersheds that must roll toward j Gotham its millions of gallons each day i have been just beginning to trickle to j the mammoth reservoirs, which for- j merly they flooded. Enough water to ! fill a good sized lake is consumed at the tubs and taps of this metropolis be- tween suprise and nightfall, while «fri- other great flood is required to wash the hundreds of miles of its dusty streets. No stint has as yet been set on the lavish splashing* of New Yorkers but the authorities are beginning to plan to meet the possible plague of drought, if it proves that the slashing storms of this week have not sufficiently soaked this region with a subterranean flood.* To combat the defiant powers of the underworld in Chinatown where another girl has just been boldly slaughtered as Elsie Sigel was, the whole police here is to-day straining every one of its resources. Squads of sleuths are swarming over every square foot of the evil recesses of the quarter in a desper- ate effort to lay hands on the sinister circles of orientals that brought Bow Kim, the Chinese girl, to her bloody end.. While all their attempts to solve the Sigel tragedy have been utterly baffled after Vveeks of vain endeavor, the detectives do not intend that Chinese cunning shall a second time cover up as outrageous and audacious a murder. Even more mysterious and menacing than the intrigues of the Black Hand are the plots of the tongs of Chinatown, the police declare, and the quarter will be all but raked before this search for their secrets is aban- doned. Lost in the inner retreats of the sporting world which he rules, \Big Tim\ Sullivan is to-day making ready to announce his return from the Euro- pean jaunt that has been the talk of Broadway and the Bowery alike for many months. Like the potentates of other realms, this king of the New York underworld has chosen to come in- to port incognito and avoid the noisy welcome that thousands of his hench- men have been planning. The favored few who have been vouched an audience with the all powerful \Big Feller\ re- port that he has come into his own once more, untainted by the splendors of his triumphal tour through Europe. Whenever he comes, or wherever he has been, \Big Tim\ Sullivan is always the pre-eminent power in the politics of this town, and his immediate moves- are being watched with anxiety on this eve of campaigning. Dodging the terrifying shafts of the flashlight, every beast bird and reptile in the great. Bronx Zoo is this_ week being hunted with all the zeal of a Bwano Tumb<o by Ewin Sanborn. snap- shotter extraordinary to this caged ani- mal kingdom. To compile a com- plete collection of pictures about the cages of the menagerie has just been ordained, and the inmates are proving more wary of the Jens than crooks re- I sisting the \mugging\ process for the j rogues gallery. Lion and bird, boacon- strictor and camel, alike are being sub- jected to the searching rays of the San- born flashlight, cunningly contrived to catch their every pose. Monkeys and mankillers are even being induced to look pleasant in this novel hunt for films. In spite of all efforts, however, the wild animals are still proving gun shy of the camera. . High on the wooded Manhattan Island a score of East Sjde boys have to-day pitched a camp in as wild and secluded a spot as ever delighted juvenile Indian scouts. Only an hour's ride from their home in the slums off the Bowery, these hearty lads have selected a site for their tents from which no sign can be seen of the metropolis roaring about them. Strange sights can always be encountered about Gotham ; but none is proving^tranger than this sequester- ed little camp on the Kingsbridge hills, where the boys of the tenements are leading the trapper's life in response to the call of the wild. Mead Justice Devendorf Said to Have Evolved a Flan to Review Convention Acts. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 23.—If as an- nounced Senator Seth Heacock, of Her- kimer county, is to be sponsor in the Senate at the next session of the Legis- lature of a form of direct primary bill it is said to be all news to him. The report has been current for sev- eral days that Senator Heacock would father a measure devised by Justice ; Devendorf, of Herkimer, but to-night i the Senator said there was no authority v for such a statement. He said he had i neither seen the bill nor been asked to I sponsor it, though_he hadrjaceiyfiil in _! quiries in regard to it. j It is said that Justice Devendorf's . measure calls only for a primary that j will review the act of a convention ; which is to be held as at the present! time and is to be preceded by the caucus. The plan suggested is to have an economical kind of a primary by having candidates try their strength only in case of dissatisfaction afte* a conven- tion by referring the matter to the voters of the party. The primaries would not be held in* years when there is no- more than one candidate for nominationi The bill, it appears, goes entirdly away from the direct nomination idea and means rather a review of the deliberations of a convention. NEW PRESIDENT OF COLGATE. President Bryan, of Franklin College, Indiana, Chosen by'the Trustee*. Albany, Aug. 24.—At a special meet- ing of the board of trustees of Colgate University of Hamilton, N. Y., held here lately, Elmer Burritt Bryan of Franklin College, Indiana, was chosen president to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Rev. Dr. George Ed- mands Merrll. President Bryan was born in Ohio on April 23, 1866, and was graduateoVfrom the IndianatlState Normal School in 1889. He received the degree of A. B. at Indiana University* in 1893 and was a graduate student of Harvard and Clarke universities in 1898-1900. He has been president of Franklin College since July 1, 1905. Its also said that while Dr. Bryan has not reached a final decision in the matter, it is believed he will resign from Franklin and accept the presi- dency of Colgate. The report has been current for several months that Presi- dent Taft was considering the appoint- ment of President Bryan as the head of the school system of the Philippine Islands, but recently Dr. Bryan let it be known that he preferred to continue hi al educational work in the United States.

Washington, Aug. 23.—Steps will probably be taken by officials of the post-officje department for a fitting cele- bration in October to commemorate the thirteenth anniversary of the establish* ment of rural free delivery. This ser- vice was started in West Virginia with five routes, running from three differ- ent offices. By the end of the third year 381 routes had been established at an annual expenditure of $150,012. Up to the present time the cost of installation and operation has been about $170,000,000. There are 40,804 carriers, covering 40,919 routes. More than 20,000,000 patrons, are served daily. Illinois has the largest number of rural delivery routes, 2,284. New York, the first state in population, has only 1,841 routes, while Pennsylvania, the second in population, has.2,168. Seven states have more routes than New York. the Canada's Wheat Crop. Winnipeg, A\xg.~23.— The grain of the Canadian Northwest is being harvested and the farmers are speculating as to possible prices, particularly of wheat.\ According to opinions of local grain men another decline is in prospect, but it will be slight, and a fairly good and steady price will be maintained. Satisfaction with existing conditions is general, and if frost and hail keep off until the cutting is- completed the crop will bo a large one. The average estimate of. thet wheat output is over 100,000,000-bushels. —It is a good plan to keep a day's feed mixed just one day ahead. Cut hay and molasses may be relied upon to carry horses through the winter in £ood shape. Tree Killing Disease Destroying Maples. Poughkeepsie, Aug. 25.—-A tree kill- ing disease is destroying the beautiful maples in parks and forests along the Hudson River. Prof. G. H. Shattuck, of Vassar college says that unless quick steps are taken to stop the march of the blight wholesale destruc- tion will be accomplished. The cause of the sudden disease is not known. President Taylor of Vassar college has asked the Government to send forest experts here to investigate. The maple is the only species of tree affected. Decay is first evidenced by the withering of the leaves of a branch. It extends rapidly until the whole> tree is affected and killed. Travelers along the Hudson have noticed recently in the forests where the contagion has spread until it has killed a number of trees. The trees which are affected show gray blotches.indicating the work of some insect. The leaves are a spot- ted brown. The scientists at Vassar college regard the blight as of sufficient importance to call for immediate steps to find and apply a remedy. the finally approved the plans for an over- head crossing at Genesee street of the Central Hudson railroad in Utica, and for new passenger depot, new freight yards and freight house for the same road. These plans have already been approved By the city, \ and were made by the railroad company. \The money for the improvement was set aside by the railroad several years ago and the State has appropriated its share of the overhead crossing. No obstacles are now in the way and it has been an- nounced that the railroad company would let the contract for the overhead crossing on September 15. The work as a whole will involve the expenditure of about $2,000,000 and will now be hastened to conclusion, as the railroad company has suffered severely forwant of room in handling traffic for the Adi- rondack and St. Lawrence river branches which have their terminals in that city. Two lions for Taft. Rome, Aug. 24.—President Taft, Em- peror William and Emperor Franz are each to receive two lions cubs from Pope Pius X. In the Vatican gardens there is a new litter of lion cubs, mothered by the lioness that King Menelik of Abyssinia recently present- ed to the Pope. Requests for the cubs poured in from all sides, but it was decided to-day to give them away in pairs to the heads of nations the mentioned. , ha\ of S_yacus_e, J have bem calling on old Died on the Train.

MRS. LEWIS W. RIGGS. VOLUME 50. No. 41. VIVE OLD MARTINSBURG. Many of Her Son* and Daughters Are Scattered Here and There, Filling Places of Responsibility and Honor. Mr. Editor:—Some recent artices in the Journal and Republican concerning old Martinsburg remind me of the power of the immaterial and the un- worldly in bringing about pubjic im- provements. A tiny hamlet among the ? \ hills has asserted its power. From its ^H.^fZ p\ 1 ': i own people, in three weeks, has been extended from Port, 8pontaneouslygiven nea rlyone hundred dollars for village improvement. At the same time a gift of love and public spirit has come to it from a boy of -yeaEaajrQ, whoJias notfleen its atreete_£ since he was nine years old, Even in great and rich cities those pubjic improvements that beautify and distinguish the place, are the gifts and i evidence of the love and public spirit of some citizen; they are not the work ^ of a mayor and council. The individual does for the city what neither com- mercial eminence nor a long tax roll would possibly achieve. Fair Haven, the little Massachusetts : ; town, has never had commercial <>r business eminence of any kind what- . ever. For years a quiet place of thrift and |he economical adjustment of the ends that should meet, how could one have guessed that Fair Haven would ever become one of the loveliest of : New England villages? How could one have foreseen that one of the boys who .• used to whistle through the little street would in years come back to it and, for . love of his mother's home and the old * place, would spare .neither money nor care in beautifying it. Henry H* v Rogers' name was powerful in the- - financial world, yet he will be forgot- ten there, and the fortune he gathered will long have been scattered, when, the memorial of love with which he : adorned Fair Haven will still remain a ; undimmed memorial to him also. ,^ Many of the zd\ an cements qf general .^ municipal and village administration : are the results of individual-effort for a j; particular and beloved town. So our f* schools and colleges were ~fiTBt/jy and it is to be opend that the State will eventually agricultural high schools radius of fifteen miles, these schools shall be in the little villages, but until the State is inte ligent enough to establish these, they also await the eye of love that; can see the need and plan for the gift to meet the need of the beloved. The adornment of the city. If it is fitting and beautiful, is always individ- : ual. One man, unknown before, Bud- ; denly looms large in the eyes of..men j because he^ loves his city.
