SUPPORTS DENIAL OF SECRET PACT [Continued From First Page] Jeremiah A, are members. The telegram reads: "The statement made by Mr. Hughes relative to con ference with committee of the Ameri can Independent Conference is abso lutely true. Mr. Hughes saw the com mittee, of which I was a member, made no promises, did not criticise Theodore Roosevelt, and made state ment to the committee that he stood for all American rights." William R. Willcox, Republican na tional chairman, said, in making the telegram public, that it was a volun tary message, unsolicited by the na tional committee. Culls It "A Fiasco" The charge of the Democratic na tional committee contained what pur ported to be a report made by Mr. O'Leary at a session of the conference in Chicago of what occurred at a meet ing between Mr. Hughes and the com mittee headed by O'Leary. The latter was quoted in the report as having said; "Mr. Hughes promised that his future conduct in the speechmaking line would be entirely satisfactory to the interests of the committee." Mr. Willcox to-day characterized the Democratic committee's report as "a llasco" attempt to prove a "hyphenate alliance" on Mr. Hughes - part. "There is r.ot a shred of evidence that Mr. Hughes had charged that O'Leary would make a statement to the Ameri can Independence Conference of prom ises to frame his speech to please the hyphenates," declared Mr. Willcox. Mr. Wilcox said he had no part in arranging for O'Leary to meet Mr. Hughes, hut that if it had been called to his attention he would not have objected. The chairman said he makes r>o effort to keep "any committee of legitimate citizens" away from Mr. Hughes. WONDERFUL TALE OF AN ACTRESS Struggled -with Sickness and Dis couragement; How Relieved. Dayville, Killingly, Conn.—"l shall be glad to have every woman know owhat0 what I know now, after using Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vege table Compound. Although I am only 24 years old, I have doctor told me to give up the stage where I was playing with my husband. I had bearing down pains, my health failed me. and I could not work on tho stage, and wasn't able to tend my baby or even get around myself. I was always downhearted ana discontented with the world, and only lived for the sake of my little girl. The doctor said to move to some quiet little town away from the noisy city, and I might be able to live and feel well, so I went to Day ville in November. At that time I was so sick I could not walk around, and my husband kept house and I stayed in bed. One day in January I read your adver tisement in a newspaper, and I sent for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and started taking it. Within two weeks time I was a different wo man, could get around, and felt so good that it wa3 a pleasure to do my house work. I felt contented and happy, and now am the picture of health, and am tempted to return to the stage. We appreciate my health as the most pre cious thing on earth."—Mrs. H. L. Boas 85. KjlUngly, gonn. HARRISBURG tfjjftl TELEGRAPH FURMAN PRAISES PA. EMPLOYERS Have Co-operated For Enforce ment of Compensation Law as Nowhere Else "Pennsylvania employers have ac cepted the spirit as well as the letter of the workmen's compensation law," Paul N.
