HAVE YOU A BACK
DRAUGHT IN YOUR
EAR? DON’T SMOKE
SOUTH NORAVALK, CONN., Sept.
28. Ernest Kei n. an inveterate smoker
of Silvermine, near here, has had to
give up all varieties of smoking because
he has a back draught through his
right ear.
This peculiar circumstance is the re
sult of having one of his back teeth
pulled the other day. The root was so
deep that it opened an aperture Into a
canal leading to Mr. Kern’s ear, which
absolutely precludes his drawing on a
cigar or pipe.
All the breath he gets seems to go
the way of the least resistance, and all
drinks with straws in them are barred
on Mr. Kern's diet list.

BATTLING FOR PRINCIPLE;
RESULTS ARE SECONDARY
Governor Highly Pleased Over
Generous Receptions Met in
New England.
Ta'EAA YORK, Sept. 28.—"1 feel that
I have arrived in American politics.”
This was the humorous utterance to.
day of Governor Woodrow Wilson, the
Democratic nominee for the presiden
cy, during short talks he gave reporters
who awoke him at his hotel. After he
had talked to the reporters he went
back to bed, tired but with his long
New England campaign and expecting
to be up late tonight at the dinner to
be given to National Chairman Mc-
Combs. He expected during the after
noon to confer with several national
leaders, but no definite plan for these
talks was made.
Discussing his New England inva
sion, the governor said:
“I feel immensely gratified and en
couraged by my receptions in New
England. I was especially impressed
i with the fact that everywhere great
| crowds with whom I came in contact
land the people whom I met personally
I seemed to take it sot granted that the
I Democratic ticket would be elected,
i That struck me as being remarkable
i significant. The size And enthusiasm of
I the crowds that wanted to hear me
I speak and see me also impressed me
| and it was gratifying to find it so in
| teresting.
i "There can be no doubt that they are
thinking seriously; that they are anx
i ions to find out what I had to say."
"Os course, you feel that the Demo
cratic ticket will win," it was sug-
I gested.
Fighting For
Principle, Says Wilson.
I have not allowed myself to form
any conclusion on the subject,” was
the prompt answer. “It will be the
same tn me whether I win or lose—l
shall keep on fighting for a principle
However, I feel that I have arrived in
American politics. When I was can
didate for governor of New Jersey I
thought 1 had arrived when a stranger
in a campaign crowd slapped me on the
back and exclaimed: 'How are you
I Doc
"I felt sure of it the other day when
a man in overalls called out to me
when I stood on the rear platform of
the private car: 'You're all right
Woody!' ’
Now I know it, for somebody in the*
audience at Bridgeport cried out in the
middle of my speech. 'Say, you're all
right. Kid!’”
The governor and his party enter
tained three women on his private car
"Federal,” from Bridgeport to Stamford
last night. They were Mrs. Homer S.
Cummings, wife of the national com
mitteeman of Connecticut, and two of
her friends. The ladies were scorted
through the car on a sightseeing expe
dition by the governor himself, who
remarked that “ all the car needs is the
tender feminine touch to make it per
fect."
“Looks to me as if it needed the
touch of a feminine broom,” retorted
Mrs. Cummings.
Enthusiastic
J Committees.
Local committees from all over the
towns in which the governor spoke had
been overseeing the car, boarding it
miles In advance of their own towns to
I assure their candidate that he would
got a fitting reception, and scattering
cigar ashes and cigarette butts and
burned matches all over the plush car
pet.
The governor will rest in Seagirt to
morrow. He goes to Atlantic City on
Monday to attend a convention, and on
Tuesday he will attend the Now Jer
sey Democratic convention at Trenton.
Then he will leave in the morning and
board his private car for Denver, Colo.,

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Labor Men’s Mass Meeting
Requests Chief Executive to
Withdraw Troops.
AUGUSTA, GA.. Sept. 28.—"Dwo meti
are dead today and another is in a hos
pital, badly wounded, while two cap-<
tains and fifteen state militiamen ara
under military arrest for court-martial
trial as the result of shootings in the
vicinity of the Augusta-Aiken Railway
and Electric Corporation’s Fifteenth
street power plant early last night. The
men were shot because they crossed a
military dead line.
The city is under martial law, with
Adjutant General William G. Obear, of
the Georgia National who ar
rived this morning from Atlanta, in
command. Colonel O’Leary, of the
First Georgia Infantry, arrived today
from Savannah to assist in handling the
situation. The order for martial law
was issued by Goverhor Joseph M.
Brown last night.
In addition to the four companies of
Augusta troops that have been under
arms since early yesterday morning, a
company arrived this morning from
Waynesboro. Troops today are sta
tioned at the power plant and at the
militia armory.
Alfred Dorn, the first man killed, wa
s.iot through the heart as h- was driv
ing a buggy out Fifteenth street on his
way home from business early last
night.
B. F. Baker, who was with Dorn in
the buggy was shot through a shoulder,
arm and hip. He is seriously wounded,
but is expected to recover.
Bullets Kill i
Autoist; Tear Up Car.
Robert Christie, the other man killed,
died Ina hospital at 3:15 o'clock this
morning, after suffering about eight
hours. He was shot as he was driving
out Fifteenth street In his automobile.
Charles Wilson and wife narrowly
escaped being shot, as they were driv
ing through the street in their auto.
Several bullets tore holes In their car.
Will Caln, attempting to ride through
the street on a motorcycle, was shot at,
one bullet tearing a hole in the handle
bars of his wheel. He was not in
jured.
Captain Jowltt, in charge of the pick
et line, and Captain Henderson, officer
of the day, are the officers under ar
rest. Major Abraham Levy, command*
Ing the Augusta battalion, ordered their
arrest after the shootings were report
ed to him.
At a big labor mass meeting
night a resolution was adopted asking
Governor Brown to withdraw the
troops, claiming that "irresponsible mi
litia’’ had shot down "citizens of Au
gusta while peacefully traveling the
streets.” Governor Brown, however,
considered the situation one demanding
more stringent control and Increased,
instead of withdrawing, the military.
The resolution was telegraphed to the
governor.
Fifteenth street is a well traveled
thoroughfare. The picket lines were es
tablished on the street about 100 yards
from each end of the power plant.
Troops were sent there from the armory
late in the afternoon, after a report be
came current that street railway strik
ers and sympathizers planned to dyna
mite the plant. It was not generally
known that the soldiers were on duty
in that section.
Challenge By Troops
Not Understood.
Dorn and Baker, the first of those
shot, were challenged by the first sen
try they approached. Dorn, it is claim
ed, did not understand the order, and
failed to stop. A sentry then fired in
the air. This frightened Dorn's horse,
which started to run aVay, and the
guards opened fire with fatal effect.
When Christie approached he was
challenged, but did not atop immediate
ly. The first shot fired at him struck
his steering hand and the car rolled
on with the occupant unable to check
it. He received several other wounds.
As Wilson's car approached the dead
line and he was fired on, it is said he
drew his pistol, but was prevented by
his wife from firing on the soldiers.
The news of the shootings spread
rapidly through the city, and great
