PARALYSIS FATAL
TO JUDGE BRUMM
Vigorous Opponent of Ballot
Frauds Stricken New
Year's Day
Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 12. Judge
Charles N. Brumm, who wan stricken
wUIi paralysis while visiting friends
New Year's Day, died at Mlnersvllle
last evening. Only the remarkable
physical strength and ruggedness for
which Judge Brumm was noted en
abled him to keep up the struggle
this long, lie had been unconscious
ever since the stroke, although at
times he showed indications of under
standing: conversations directed to
ward him. For the last 4 8 hours he
was kept alive by the use of oxygen.
Judge Brumm served this district
fifteen years in Congress, the odd year
being part of the term of Congress
man George Patterson, who died in
the middle of his term. He served
in the House with President McKlnley,
and when the latter was elected Pres
ident he offered the Schuylkill Con
gressman the position of United States
minister to Belgium. Judge Brumm
refused this tender, as he likewise re
fused the proffer of deputy attorney
general, offered him by President Har
rison.
Judge Brumm was born on June 9,
1 838, and when he became a candidate
for judge in 1908 it was urged against
him tiiat he was too old to be elected
to an office with a ten-year tenure. He
was nominated by the Republicans,
however, and defeated A. W. Schalck,
the Democratic nominee.
Having been several times counted
out by ballot frauds, as he believed,
Judge Brumm particularly detested
this species of crime; and soon after
ascending the bench he publicly de
clared that any one who stuffed a bal
lot box was guilty of a crime against
American sovereignty and should be
declared guilty of treason. His sug
gestion that such culprits should be
branded on the forehead with the let
ter "T" caused much discussion
throughout the country.
In the crusade against ballot crimes
In Schuylkill county which followed
his election, twenty-five prominent
politicians were sent to jail for long
term sentences by Judge Brumm.
Four years ago a vain effort was
made to impeach him, the Legislature
voting unanimously against such a
proposition.

The Telephone Cord
Here the green covering of the "cord" that
connects your Bell Telephone lo the hell-box, has
been pulled back.
Three separate "conductors" are disclosed,
each with its woven covering of silk and linen and
cotton, and inside the tiny wires are plaited
together that the whole may be flexible.
The little copper wires are finer—much finer
♦—than hair and there are many of them.
Think what must happen when the cord is
kinked and snarled into a mass of twists and
knots. The little wires rub against each other
and, m the end, the transmission becomes "raspy"
and'"noisy"—the sound, in telephone parlance, of
fryiri' turnips" on the line.
You can help to safeguard the high quality of
your Bell Service by keeping the cord
kinklesa" always. 1
