an exceedingly rare one and car
rier with It inch a remarkable op
portunity for the Indies of this sec

much attention.

large stockholder In the American
Tobacco Company, has begun at a
cost of $100,000 two new build

group that he finished December of
1909, snd for the support of which
Institution, he has already given
$200,000 endowment with a neces

the increased needs of the Watts

Mr. Watts has returned from a

one a surgical pavilion precisely of
the same- exterior likeness to the

the second a nurses' home which
Mr. Watts announced In his formal
tender to the city and county medi

The demands upon the Institu

service, have been so great thai
Mr. Watts has been forced to begin
the extension which he hadn't
meant to take up within five years.
When he turned over the hospital,
he prepared a place for the nurses
In the general pavilion. With the
move to the nurses home where
there are thirty nine rooms, the
hospital will have -105 patients'
rooms. Increasing its capacity from
71 to that number.

New York, sept. 21.?The con

and former President Theodore
Roosevelt at New Haven has left
the national political situation prac
tically unchanged but new phases
have been added to the seething
conditions In the republican camps
in New York state. Summed up to
day political experts in this wise,
the net result of the conference is:
Colonel Roosevelt sta^d> befot
the state with the tacit affirmation
of President Taft upon the princi
ples which the progressives ad
vance, the principal feature of
which is the Cobb direct primary
bill.
In return President Taft has the
assurance that while the Sar-itoga
convention will indorse his admin
istration n*' delegates will be pledg
ed to support him In 1912. Whllr
both o? these conditions had been
generally understood as obtaining
the official brand and stories thii
Taft and Roosevelt were hopelessly
