He Joker Found in Pub- licity Law. Election Expenses Act Does Not Make Payments Public. rrimary election expense statements frcm Senators Martin and Swanson, of | Virginia, the first filed under the new publicity law that went into effect on Aug. 19, reached the office of Mr. Ben- nett, the secretary of the senate. In the absence of Mr. Bennett, his office force declined to make them public. Following this declination, a fareful examination of the new publicity law resulted in the startling disclosure that in the act, presumed to be most drastic, there is no requirement for publicity of the individual statements filed by candidates for the senate or! the house of representatives. The law requires the filing of indi- vidual expense statements and pledges of appointmen:s, but it is apparen:ly left to the discretion of the secretary of the senate or the clerk of the house, as the case may be, to decide whether these statements shall be given to the . public. The publicity law of 1910 requires that the expenses of campaign com- mittees “shall be a part of a public record” in the office of the clerk of the , house, “and shall be open to public in- | spection.” { The statements received from Sena- tors Martin and Swanson will be for- | warded to Secretary Bennett in New York. What construction he will place upon the new law is not known. It was generally understood during the | preparation of the new law, amending | the act of 1910, that the amendments were designed to give actual publicity ! to the individual expenses of candi- dates for the senate or the house of representatives. Much surprise was ex- pressed when it was realized that the law was entirely silent on the ques- tion of making these private expense ! statements public. The law requires that expenditures by committees in the election of rep- resentatives shall be a part of the pub- | lic record of the house. Two of the candidates in the Vir. ginia senatorial primaries to be held Sept. 7 have not yet reported thelr expenses to the secretary of the sen- ate and apparently stand in violation of the law. The requirement is that the first expense statement shall be i primary election. | Tuesday was the last day in which | statements cculd be deposited in the mail to comply with the law. No re- ports had been received from Con- gressman Glass and Congressman Jones. who are contestants in the Vir- ginia race against two senators. Fail- ure to file statements within the re- quired time before election if done wilfully. carries with it the penalties of the law of 1910, namely, a fine not exceeding $1000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. South Trimble, cierk of the house of representatives, said he would not feel justified in making public any records of this character in the absence of a specific prohibition in the bill With zeny suggestions coming forth as to what the intent of congress was in passing the law, it is reported that the secretary of the senate will refer the law to the attorney general for an opinion. as to the secretary's duty un- der the enactment. Prank of Nature Revealed In Odd Philadelphia Case. Cooling side by side in a crib at the Chestnut street recreation pier in Philadelphia are Sallie Bonner, who is as white as snow, and her twin sis- ter Marie, who is as black as the ace of spades.

Condemns Life In Flats. “] am convinced that an all-wise God never intended human beings to live in flats,” said Edward R.

While 27 Dead In Train Wreck. Twenty-seven persons are dead, half a dozen more lie at death's door and seventy others crowd hospital wards from Canandaigua to Rochester, ac- Y., of Lehigh Valley train No. 4, eas!- bound, behind two powerful locomo- tives, on a trestle spanning Canandal gua outlet. A ninety-pound rail on the 400-foct bridge, shattered into seventeen pieces and showing defects in manufacture, marked the weak spot, inves:igators say, and explains the cause of the dis- aster. The first car to leave the track was a diner, which was the fourth car in the In leaving the tracks the diner took with it a Pull the ciner remained on the roadbed, the Pullman was hurled down a sixty- foot embankment into the outlet. It was in this car tiat the greatest loss of life occurred Whi.e other cars in the train did not go down the em- bankment their momentum carried them into the rear end of the dimer, causing a considerable loss of life and serious injuries in this car. The scene of the disaster was one of almost indescribable horror. The passsengers of the train run about in a state of panic looking for missing friends or relatives who wer suppos ed to have lost their lives in the wreck. Shrieks of the injured for a time filled the air, while a large num- ber of surgeons and physicians from the surrounding towns were busy dressing the injuries. Priests who were on the train immediately went among the injured and dead and ad- ministered the last rites of the church to those who were still sufficientiy alive to take them. Many are the scenes that struck deep in the vitals | of even the men familiar with the! sight of death A —————— ISS Mob Burns Negro. i A trampled heap of cha:red woud! and ashes in the center of Purcell, Okla., and free and open discussion of | the occurrence wherever two or threc | ' men gather together are the remind. ers of the burning of a man by a mob | of at least 2000 persons. i Men and women, all unmasked, took | part in thus putting to death a megro who had assaulted the wife of a white | farmer and had afterward tried to | burn the farmhouse to conceal his crime. ! It seems doubtful that any official action will be taken by the sheriff | of the county, inasmuch as he and his | men made no effort to stop the work | of the mob while the negro was burn- ing. ‘The man who thus horribly paid for his crime was Peter Carter, thirty. five years old, a negro cook on a din- ing car. He cntered the home of a farmer | named Spragger, one mile south of this place, found Mrs. Spragger, a young woman, there alone and assault. ed her. He then fired the house and escaped, but nearby farmers saw the | smoke from the house and saved Mrs. Spragger, who was unconscious, from | death by fire, although the building was destroyed. Boy Kills Another For Love. George Bellis, aged fourteen years, | was shot and killed by Harvey Os- born, aged fifteen, at Stroudsburg, Pa. The youth then made his escape, and County Detective John M. Decker is scouring the county for him. Both boys were paying attention to a young girl who was staying with the Bellis family. The Osborn boy is re- ported to have said he would shoot the Bellis boy if he would tell some- thing the girl is alleged to have said about him (Osborn). The Bellis family live near Henry- ville. The Bellis boy stood at the top of the stairs and the Osborn boy at the foot of them when Osborn pulled the gun and fired upstairs. As soon as he did so he ran. Osborn is a son of David Osborn and lives with his grandfather, Dim- mick Detsick, whose home is not far away from the scene of the tragedy. Pastor Weds Organist. After he had preached his farewell sermon to the congregation of the Central Lutheran church at Phoenix- ville, Pa. the Rev. Willlam George Brubaker announced his marriage to Miss Vida Pearl Raby. Until last Sun- day Rev. Brubaker was pastor of the church, but he resigned to accept a call from the Holy Trinity Lutheran church, of Camden. Miss Raby was the organist of the church when she first met the Rev. Mr. Brubaker. Upton Sinclair Seeks Divorce. Upton Sinclair, author and Socialist, of Arden's colony, near Wilmington, Del, brought suit against his wife, Mrs. Meta Fuller Sinclair, in New York, for divorce on statutory grounds. Harry Kemp, the young poet, from Lawrence, Kan, is named as co-re- spondent. Mrs. Meta Fuller Sinclair, the wife from whom he is seeking a divorce, told her side of her troubles with her husband.
