DYING NEWSPAPERMAN
ON DUTY TO THE LAST
FATAI.LV INMl'RED IX WRECK
HE SAYS "CALL I'P MY
PAPER."
Associated Press Distmtchl
New York, June 13.—Gregory T.
Humes of this city, who is reported
to be dyins in the hospital at Stam-
ford, Conn., retained above all else
his sense of news when terribly
crushed yesterday in the wreck
which caused the death of five per-
sons and the injury of about twenty
mtfre on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad near the
Stamford station.
Humes, a reporter on the staff 01
The World, was returning from a
visit to his mother at Pine Orchard,
Conn., and was a passenger in the
Pullman car which was telescoped
by the electric engine of a train be-
hind. When Humes was carried out
of the wreck, suffering from a
crushed pelvis and compound frac-
tures of both ankles, as well as pain-
ful Internal injuries, he liaid to
those who were carrying him:
"Call up my paper right away
and tell them tliero is a wreck hero
—a big story. Toll them I am sorry
I won't he able to work becauso I
am smashed up. Call up my moth-
er, too."
Having done his duty—the first
filing that flashed into his newspa-
per mind—he collapsed and has
been unconscious 'and in a critical
condition ever since.

Tuscola, HI., June 13.-*-"Women
don't want the right to vote," a
privilege gran tea' them in Illinois
last Tuesday, Joseph G. Cannon,
former speaker of the national
house, t.old a Douglas county audi-
ence yesterday.
"1 am not afraid of woman Suf-

to have it in Illinois, It will be a
good time for an awfully handsome
man to run for office."
The former speaker said he was
living on "borrowed time" and that
the speech might be his last, but
the platform from which he spoke
shook with the vehemence of liii
movements when he paid his re-
spects to "some of the political

GOOD ROODS EXPENSIVE;
MUST OE MAINTAINED
Associated Press Ulnpatcbl
Washington, June 1,3,—Increase
in the number and weight of auto-
mobiles and heavy automobile trucks
has prompted the Office of public
roads of the department of agricul-
ture to issue a special pamphlet o
the maintenance of highways. It
recommends the inclusion of heav-
ier and more substantial founda-
tions in road building as a means ot
keeping down the cost of such main-
tenance.
"There is probably no subject iri
which tli0 progressive farmer • is
more deeply interested, says the
road experts in a statement issued
today, "than that of having durable
roads co>ine-ctlng him with his mar-
kets. Good roads, like all other good
things, are expensive to build and of
too much value to be neglected."
The pamphlet does not go into
the work of road construction to anv
extent. Th". experts have confined
their recommendations 'he best
methods for keeping in repair road*
already built.
Associated Pross Dispatch 1
Wlllemstadt, Curacao, June 13."—
Details of tne recent political dis-
turbances in Venezuela, where a
large number of prominent men
were Imprisoned or took to flight
following accusations of conspiracy
against the government, reached
here today.
It is stated that a plot to assasi-
nute President Juan Vicente Gomez
was frustrated by the imprisonment
of Gen, Dslgado Chalbaud and' a
number ot it is friends, The plot
was to have been carried out at the
inauguration of the Venezuelan Au-
tomobile Club a lew weeksc ago.
j 11 announcement 0/ '.lie govern-
in- nt says: *
"'1 he plot was uncovered throug'i
, (Jen. Manuel Corao, who flatly l'e-
I fused to join In the conspiracy.
1 When invited to become a party to
| the plot he started toward Mira-
liores palace to inform tne president
of the danger. O11 his way he was
shot at but escaped injury. The In-,
formation lie gave to the president
• led to the imprisonment of the plot-
ters."
In circles in which Gen. Chalbaud
is well known it. is said there was
110 plot of any kind against Gomez.
The president Isuiteelured. to have
imprisoned Gen."Chalbaud. because
of jealousy aijd fear that he might
becomes "a candidate for the presi-
dency next April.
In connection with the approach-
ing campaign for the presidency
there is much speculation in Ca-
racas. Many believe Gomez will ti j,
to succeed himself, although sucti
action is contrary to the constitu-
tion. if this is impossible he will
endeavor to secure the election of
one of iiis trusted friends. In either
event, it is considered certain that,
some trouble will follow.
Should disorder break out, Gen.
Gomez has a great, many things In
his favor. The army is in splendl".
condition, The ofllcers are loyal Uj
him and tthere is plenty of money
in the government treasury. Besides
these advantages 011 the si.le of the
administration, merchants in Venez-
uela who are at present enjoying
great prosperity, are not inclined to
support any movement which would
interfere with their welfare.
The recent trouble between Pres-
ident Gomez and the federal council
(composed of ten of the best known
military leaders of Venezuela) arose
over an agreement with Franco
which was rejected1 by the council,
although subsequently approved by
congress. President Gomez resented
the opposition of the councillors
and prevailed on congress to pass a
law prvldlng that the substitute or
each councillor might he called upon
to serve even during the presence
in Caracal of the councillor himself.
Several oi' the councillors, scenting
danger to themselves in this move,
took to flight and the,remainder ot
them employed men to guard their
reslden cos.
Hard to Underatand.
"I don't see what makes my wife
play solitaire." "It does seem rather
trivial amusement." "Not only that,
but It. affords her no possible excuse
to stop the game and ask 'What's
trumps?'"
