Dix Armed with Statement.
Mr. Dlx brought down with him a state
ment signed by John J. O'Brien, president:
Peter 1- Frox. vice-president; Lawrence
McCabe. secretary, and forty-five other!
members of the National Association of j
Machine Printers and Color Mixers of the j
United States, employed by the Standard
Wai' Pap— Company. The statement de- ;
clared that the management of the Stand
ard Wall Paper Company was held in hiS" j
esteem by its employes, and thai th»y re
sented the insinuation that starvation
wages w-re being paid to any of them, it
is also stated that the wages paid to them
■ : a!wavs compared favorably with the
wages* paid employes in other wallpaper
factories." _:, .
After his arrival in town Mr. Dix went
to state headquarters, where he conferred
for three hours with Chairman Huppuch
William J. Ben, of Buffalo; John H.
JlcOboey. of Kings County; John Kelly,
of Troy, ana Rooert N Wood, of Troy.
He left there with Chairman Huppuch
at 4 o'clock. When One state chairman
returneu he refused to say where they had
been or whom they had seen.
It was .;!-ii«-('.. however, that Mr Dlx
was in conference with Charles F. Murphy,
although the greatest effort was made to
keep it quiet. There were various re-
I>orts that they were at Tammany Hall,
at Delmonle©'* and otner places. After
Mr. Dix had left town, however, it was
learned that the conference was held at
the Waldorf.
"At Peace with the Unions."
When Mr. Dix was asked at headquar
ters regarding the labor question he said:
"There is no controversy between labor
and ourselves, and there is no labor trouble
In o*jr mills. At:y one who warts to can
soon find out what the situation is. All
that will be necessary to do is to go to the
employes the : >lyes. They will tell.
Labor is capable of speaking Ear itself and
has competent spokesmen."
Efforts that were made to find Mr. Dix
after the conference with the "boss" of
Tammany Hall were unavailing.
Asked hew Mr. Dix felt about the situa
tion. Chairman Huppuch said he thought
the candidate for Governor was well
pleased. "I think that he would speak
more confidently than he did a week ago."
said the chairman. "At that time he
thought that possibly some of us were over
confident and that it would be well to force
the issue. We have forced tie issue, and
the results are showing every day."
Erie for Dix, Says Mack.
Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, who dropped
into headquarters from Buffalo yesterday
'mcrnlr-g. told Chairman Huppuch that he
expected Erie would give a plurality of at
I least 13.000 to the Democratic ticket. "I
jem looking for a Democratic landslide."
I said he. "You will find that the conditions
! are just reversed from what they were in
1296. Then the Democrats left their party
; for the Republican ticket. This year the
I Republicans are going to vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
"So far as I have been able to observe

Chairman Huppuch said when there was
a strike in the mills of the International
Paper Company several New York news
papers tried to eet the Standard Wall
Paper Company to manufacture print
paper. He said he might make public the
names of one or two of these papers, and
seemed to think it might make a sensa

what way.

REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY
Collisions Reported Near Capital
— Situation Grave.
BiineoF Ayres. Ort. 28.— 1t Is feared here
that the outbreaks in Uruguay will &«.«ume
large proportions. The trouble had us
origin in the struggles between the oppos
ing factions for the Presidency of the re
public. Collisions are reported to have
taken place in the provinces and within
fifty miles of Montevideo, the capital.
Dr. A. Bachini. who resigned ypsterdny
as Foreign Minister at the request o r Presi
dent WMiman. is likely now to become a
candidate for the Presidency.
London. Oct. — A dispatch to "The
Times" from Montevideo, by way of Buenos
Ayres, says .
"The situation in Uruguay Is very grave.
The opponents of Jose Battle y Ordonez's
candidacy for the Presidency are massing
and revolution is feared. The outbreak
has been delayed owing to lack of horses.
"Nevertheless armed revolutionaries ar. 1
gathering on most of the frontiers, the
press is b?ing censored, telegraph wires
have be?n cut by the revolutionaries and
the train service in the republic is disorgan
ized. The population is greatly alarmed,
but the government is active in sending
troops where they are most needed. Sev
eral arrests of Nationalists have been
made at Montevideo and elsewhere.
"The resignation of Foreign Minister
Bachini was requested on account of his
sympathy with the subversive movement,
and his opposition to Senor Battle f Or
donez's election. There is no question that
the government is foisting on the country
a most unpopular candidate, who is an en
emy of progress and financial development.
Hence the uprising."

TALK OF PAKOLE FOR MOESE
Under New L^w He Could Be Lib
erated in 1915.
"Washington, Oct. 2S.— Friends of Charles
W Morse believe they have found a way
for President Taft tn let the convicted New
York banker ou* of the Atlanta peniten
tiary, without actually pardoning him. In
effect, it would be to parole Morse, but that
end would be accomplished by Issuing a
"conditional pardon."
V.'hile the plans of Morse's friends are
not known at the Department of Justice, it
was said that there is nothing to prevent
thi President from issuing a "conditional
pardon." and that in such an event the
federal Board of Parole would be charted
with the responsibility of looking after
Mc>rsr.
Any proposition to parole Morse under
Urn Him >f the law paaawfl at the last
session of Congress, as has i:oen suggested,
is out of the question, say the attorneys.
The law says a federal prisoner may be
paroled alter having served one-third of
his sentence. Morse was sentenced to flf
tet-n vf-ars. and would not be eligible for
pardon under that statute, therefore, until
January. 1915.

WANTS ALIMONY REDUCED
Lawyer and Husband of Ciubwomar;
Says S5 a Week Is Too Much.
Alleging he was unable to pay his wife
$."> a week alimony, Roswell A. Benedict, a
New York lawyer, asked Vice Chancellor
Emery in Newark, yesterday, to issue an
order reducing the amount which he had
been ordered to pay his wife. Marie A.
Benedict. The court reserved decision.
The wife Instituted suit for divorce
against her husband, alleging desertion,
and that suit was heard by Alfrer! S
Stevens, as master. The master recom
menced that Benedict pay his wtf« IS
weekly alimony until the divorce suit was
disposed of. Counsel for Benedict took
exception to this ruling, and ;t was on

The Fun-making
Night of the Year
One can gather scores of friends
and expect to have a splendid time.
but it will not be a real Hallowe'en
unless the spirit of the occasion pre
vails.
This is as simple as can be. The
festive board should be arrayed witi
grinning pumpkins, ridiculous pi<

appropriate sweets for the occasion
to 60c a pound.
