They are engaged in the sort of thing which used to cause Democratic editors to rave about division of spoils and which brought out caustic remarks from eminent re formers ami publicists before they got into office. The conference is being held by the same four men who made up the pri mary slate for Pennsylvania and took it over to the White House one. even ing last Spring to have Wilson to rub ber stamp it- Incidentally, the "Big Four" slated two of their own number —A. Mitchell Palmer for senator and Vance C. McCormick for governor— thus achieving the goal of years of scheming and conniving and expendi ture of money. The men in conference are Palmer, McCormick, James I. Blakslee, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, and Roland S. Morris, Demo cratic state chairman and the man who put through the platform scheme which was denounced in the. recent meeting of the Democratic State com mittee as "a cheat and a fraud." Quite Frank About It The "Big Four" is quite frank about what it is doing. There is no denial that "plans" for the campaign are be ing made and that the apportionment of offices is part of a plan. The four met last evening when the church bells were ringing and decided how to di vide the offices. They went at it again to-day. They realize that the exi gencies of the campaign in face of business depression and arrogant run ning of a State machine require work on Sunday eve and Monday morn.

Dunn No. I Once Promi nent in Presbyterian Church Circles in This City DESERTED IN NEW HAVEN Now Charges Spouse With Marry ing Southern Woman With out a Divorce Special to The Telegraph Waycross, Ga., June 22. —Two wives of R. A. Dunn, one of whom he mar ried in Harrisburg twelve years ago, met in the office of the sheriff here. They had nothing to say to each other of their marital troubles, each con tenting herself with a stony staro at the other. The prosecution was started by Mrs. Dunn No. 1, who before her marriage was Miss Notie Bena Leltzell, promi nent in Harrisburg church circles, be ing an active worker in Pine Street Presbyterian Church. Her marriage to Dunn, who at that time gave his place of residence as Philadelphia, was performed by the Rev. Isaac N. Bag- Icy in Harrisburg, February 20, 1902. After residing in Harrisburg for a few months Dunn took his wife to New Haven, Conn. About four years later he came to Georgia, leaving his wife behind. Mrs. Dunn asserts that at first. her husband intended her to join him, but that later her clothes, which she hud sent to Savannah pre paratory to coming south, were re turned to New Haven with a curt mes sage that she should stay there. Wife No. 2 before her marriage was Miss Grace Kelly, of Savannah, where she had lived with her husband since their marriage. No. 2 Claims Love The Savannah wife says Dunn loves her and will return to her when he is out of his present trouble. "I love him, too," she said, "and am sorry he has made such a mistake. I have no censure for him, however." The lirst wife says she is afraid of Dunn. She says she thinks if he s%ould meet her nlone some Waycross under taker would have to bury her. It is presumed that Dunn had met and was wooing Miss Kelly at the time he sent word to his first wife not to come to Georgia. Their marriage, however, was recent. Dunn recently accepted a position with a railroad at Waycross, while his wife remained at their Savannah home. She had no in timation that he had ever been mar ried before. Dunn has refused consistently to discuss the matter. Heavy Apple Crop Is Promised This Year By Associated Press Washington, D.

STORES Rifles Cash Drawer of Wolf ley Store; Police Have No Clue to His Identity Harrisburg's "auger burglar" Is still working in Second street. Last night he bored his way into the grocery and produce store of Clar ence N. Wolfley, 226 North Second street, and got away with one dollar In nickels. The money was in a small cash drawer. As at two other places the burglar went to a lot of trouble for the small amount of cash he secured. Entrance was gained by boring a hole in the transom of a rear door. An inch auger was used and four holes were bored. This permitted the removal of a portion of the transom frame, large enough to get a hand through. Getting to the latch fastened on the transom was easy. The thief rifled the cash drawer and made his exit through a rear door which was found open. The burglar bored several holes in the panel of the rear door, but was unable to get to the fastenings. Barrels at the rear of the store enabled the burglar to reach the transom. The police believe It was the same burglar who worked at the McAlister drug store, 1332 North Second street, Wednesday night, and at the Wllhelm drug store Friday night.
