The possibility of success pf the op eration is admittedly slight, but t'ashln is supremely confident. He believes that the days are not many before he will see again. Clay remains silent In the Tower, waiting for the supreme court to an swer his prayer for rehearing. He has spoken rarely since condemned. His friends and lawyers say that he is mad. if the court finally decides that Clay must die, his relatives will be asked for his eyes Whether they will consent or not is another contingent on which Cashin’s hopes depend. Clay has been in prison since the spring afternoon when without appar ent cause, he went to the homo of a sister-in-law, in Lee street, and shot his wife down in the hallway of the resi dence. Mrs. Clay had not been living with her husband for some time on ac count of his Irregular habits. At his trial, no defense was made save a plea of insanity. Three alien ists were appointed by Judge Roan, who tried the case. They examined Clay a number of times. Their report to the court was that the man was feigning madness. The jury sentenced him to die. His hanging was fixed for July 23. but an appeal was taken to the supremo court, and execution of the sentence was stay ed until the final ruling could be made. Despite his high hope, Cashin con tinues to sell papers each day at his old stand, at the corner of Whitehall and Alabama streets. His regular pa trons have noticed a new hopefulness in his face, though. There is almost a light in his eyes. For though others mav scoff. Cashin believes that Ije will see.

A workman at one of the "arresting” stations be tween Bull Sluice and Atlanta dropped the strand of wire across the main line of wires. Instantly there was a "short circuit.” The current raced back to the generators at the big plant and not a wheel turned in Atlanta This lasted for seven minutes, accord ing to Milt Saul, of the Georgia Railway and Power company. It was twelve min utes from stop to start, according to a private watch Mr. Saul’s timepiece may have been slow.

Aug. 14.—0 f the Roosevelt-Harriman incident in 1904 ,• and the contribution by the railroad magnate of more than $200,000 to the New York Republican state campaign, still another conflicting version was re corded today when B. B. Odell, former governor of New York, testified before the senate committee investigating campaign expenditures. Odell, who was chairman of the state committee in 1904 and governor from 1901 to 1905, testified that the contri butions, totaling approximately $250,- 000, were collected by the state com mittee outside of a $500,000 contribution * which had been promised by the Re publican national committee. Records were kept of these contributions, but were destroyed at the close of the cam paign. he said. “Was your attention ever called to a letter purporting to have been writ ten by E. H. Harriman to Sidney Web- f ster in 1906, in which Mr. Harriman is said to have stated that in 1904 Presi dent Roosevelt sent a request asking him to come to Washington?” asked Senator Clapp. “I have seen the letter?” "Do you know anything about that request outside of the letter?” "I do." "State what you know.” Harriman Called on T. R. "Along early In October of 1904 I f was requested by Mr. Harriman to lunch with him. I went to his office and during luncheon he showed me a letter from President Roosevelt asking him to come to Washington. We had some conversation as to what the pres ident desired to see Mr. Harriman about, and I said it was my opinion that he wanted to ask about the situa tion in New York and consult about the financial conditions. Mr. Harriman said he did not care to * go, but, after talking the matter over, he said'he would go. I requested Mr. Harriman to visit Mr. Roosevelt, and I requested him to bring to the at tention of Mr. Roosevelt the situation In New York regarding the senatorial campaign. I told him the organization was in favor of the election of Gov ernor Black to succeed Senator Depew, but at the same time they felt kindly toward Senator Depew and would like to see him taken care of. “I suggested that Mr. Harriman ask Mr. Roosevelt if he could not send Mr. * Depew as ambassador to France. Mr. Harriman went to Washington and a few days after I again lunched with him and ascertained what had occurred nt the conference with the president. He said I was right. Promised to Appoint Depew. "The president was anxious about the * financial conditions in New York and he would like to have Mr. Harriman's help. Mr. Harriman said the president told him that if necessary he would do as requested about Depew. Harriman said he was ready to help the national committee. I suggested that’ he wait ’ until the committee had exhausted all other sources. I “Subsequently Mr. Cortelyou came to I my office and told me they were unable to raise the money due the state com mittee. I told him It was a very em barrassing position for me and he asked if I could not help out. I called up Mr. Harriman on the telephone, told him •» the situation and told him that if he desired to help the national committee the time had come. He told me to send Cortelyou and Bliss to his office. Then Mr. Harriman telephoned me that he • had made arrangements and had raised $240,000, which he had turned over to Bliss. Bliss later gave me a check for $200,000 and I gave him a receipt for f this." Odell admitted that representation had been made to Harriman that the finances of the campaign were in a se rious condition, whereas they were not. Do you want to change jobs?
