No Tainted Ads, EIGHTH YEAR, NO. 237. JOHNSON-GRAY IN ALLIANCE; LATEST DENVEHJTOOY INCREDULOUS PERSONS HAVE ONLY TO LEARN THAT FAC TIONS OF EACH HAVE ACTUAL LY HELD A CONFERENCE BY HECTOR H. ELWELL. (Btaff Correspondent Hearst News Service and The Times.) DENER. July 3.—The real tight against Win. J. Bryan for the c ratio presidential nonilrmtinn at national convention, neat week, h.V begun. Word ha* been received from n strong man in the east that Samuel (Jumpers, president of the Amorioau Federation of Labor and the labor people generally, are pitting them selves against Bryan. They fear If liryun is nominated, his erratic qual ities will crop out afresh and condi tions for them will be more unsettled than ever. Further, they figure that with liryun at the head of the ticket, their attempt to get at least one party to adopt a real anti injunclon plank will have fallen flat. Massachusetts Man the Author. The letter containing these declara tions was received by Frederick U. Lynch, (Jov. Johnson's campaign man ager now in Denver, and might'be considered a good bit of press agent work for Johnson, but it is tin* au thentic article ami means so much to them and the man who wrote it that his name is being held secret. It is known, however, thut he is a man standing very high in Massachusetts, being a congressman there. This new situation in the national broil was but one of the many inter esting developments. A. L. Shiffman, the advance guard of the county dem ocracy of Cook county, was busy telling whut Robert K. Burke will do when he gets here; a wire was sent to Judge Geo. Gray, of Delaware, to send nu official statement to Josiah Marvel, his campaign manager, on his position as to his cnndidacy for president or vice president; Thomas K. Grady, the silver-tongued orator of Tammany hall, reached Denver cud took up yuarters with the boom ers of Archibald McNeill, of Connec ticut, who wants to be vice president —a most significant thing, inasmuch as there are a hunch of vice presidential candidates from New York. Talk of Johnson-Gray Alliance. Theodore Knappen and Chas. H. Day. two of Gov. Johnson's chief j boomers, held a secret conference with Josiah Marvel, Judge Gray's man and seemed willing to stand for the story that these two candidates were forming an alliance. Alton B. Parker will be in Denver, shortly, prepared to start something on the anti-injunc tion plank which he does not want, aud which Mr. Bryan does want most strenuously, according to his press agent, Willis J. Abbott. So rnun> more newspaper correspondents to every politician.

Parker had been se lected to present before the Denver convention resolutions upon former Presided Cleveland’s death, the evi dent object of which is to discredit Bryan through a highly colored Inter pretation of Cleveland’s last message to the Democratic party.

Assistant Prose cuting Attorney James A. Robison an nounced that he was satisfied that the shooting of Stewart Dixon in the home of his cousin, Harold Neff, Wednesday afernoon, was purely an accident. "It would be monstrous to believe lhat Harold could be guilty of such a criminal act." he said. both Harold and hls cousin, Russell, were brought to the prosecuting at torney’s office by their respective par ents and both were question as to the tragedy. Russell insisted that Harold said to him after the shot rang out: ’Tve shot him! I’ve shot him!" Harold deuied making any such ex clamation, and Mr. Robison was con vinced that Russell was laboring un der a delusion. The story ofq the two boys agreed in the main, except that Harold de uied having fired the gun or having told Russell thut he did. Russell said he did not think Harol MEN CAN'T FOLLOW PROCCKO* Jl INGS; OUTSIDERS BUTT IN ANP ADD MUCH TO CONFUSION.

Conditions of disorder which hav* gradually come to be the rule In tttfi meetings of the common council bar* reached such a stage as to make soma of the members think of trying to In stltute reforms. It is very rarely that a session Is held where the members in general hear more than a tbrd of the proceedings. This is due to the habit acquired by the aldermen of moving about and conversing, and also to the action of a large number of outsiders who en ter the chamber, call the aldermen to the back of the hall, lobby for mean* urea of various kinds and talk among them Helves. Even with the most per sistent efforts of President Rose, It la impossible to get quiet in the cham ber for more than a minute or so at any time. Only when there is a big debate on does the council center its attention, and it takes a loud voice and deter mination to wake up the assembly then] Rarely are more than half of the aldermen In their proper seata. It Is also a rare meeting when there ar*,., not 20 to 40 outsiders on the floor of the chamber. There Is a constant racket of mow ing about, talking and laughing, and all the time the clerk Is droning out resolutions, ordinances or reports, which only the dozen or so members nearest his desk can hear because of the noise. In the last meeting one res olution was read four times, various aldermen not hearing It each time. "1 can’t tell what Is done here until I read the printed report the next day.” commented Aid. Welbel in a re cent meeting, and Welbel has a cen tral seat. “Conditions are worse than they used to be,” says Aid. Tossy. “It la not the aldermen alone who are to blame for the disorder and lack of attention. City officials and other* granted the privilege of the floor abuse It. We should have stricter at tention.” “It seems to be getting worse,” saya J Aid. Gutman. “If I leave my seat for a moment someone else slips into tt so that he cau hear for a little while, my desk being right opposite the clerk’s. We should have the officer* see that people not entitled to th*‘J floor are kept off and order should b* maintained. There Is no use for moat of the visiting that goes on. By gtt* ting down to business, we could gefT through more quickly and everybody would have a better idea of what haa been doue.’’ WOMAN TAKES LIFE BY INHALING OAS Mrs. Laura G. wife of George P.

"1 am mighty glad to be out of pub lic office.” Contentedly, as he stretched him self at ease In his office chair, Tim othy E. Tarsney, former corporation counsel, made this declaration Tars ney haa been in public life for a gen eration, gaining wide prominence first mm WE \*V TIMOTHY E. TARSNEY as congressman from the Saginaw dis trict. 2uodd years ago. His eight years as corporation counsel ended Tuesday. “I do not believe that a man who wishes to obtain material advance ment can'afford to go into politics— that is. for any length of time." add ed Mr. Tarsney. "The rewards are not great and I know that, personally. I would have made more money by keeping to my own private practice and letting the nation run Itself. "Yet I have enjoyed the work as corporation counsel. I took It first because Mayor Maybury, who had been ray colleague in congress, wanted me to take hold and make over the city’s legal department—build it up. There have been many battles since for the city’s Interest, and they have been worth going through. ‘Anyone who has got any rnouey from the city while I was over there, has been entitled to It. "Few have any conception of the vast amount of work that comes into the corporation counsel’s office. There are damage rases and cases of many ether kinds and opinions as to legal points. One might think that, tu time, all the legal points would be settled but they are always cropping up. one or more a day. and it sometimes takes hours of work to determine a point that will be finally expressed In a simple page of typewriting. "After It Is all through, 1 find a new peace and enjoyment In coming back to my own office and my own business." T. E. Tars»ney Is known as one of the greatest admiralty lawyers in this part of the country and has a law library that is one of the largest In the entire state.

The law governing employment agencies Is being constantly violated by the majority, If not by all of the agencies doing business in Detroit. This is the sraKnient of one of the agency proprietors, who claims that the compensation allowed by ordi nance Is too small to permit of a liv ing for agency proprietors. Application has been made by the agencies for amendment of the oidl uanee but this proposed amendment would not allow of rates as high as are being charged now.

It is a comedy of the Middle Ages, written by Frank Stayton. and the principal parts are In the hands of the couple obviously moat suited for such play—Oscar Asche and hls wife, Lily Brayton When these two, who are never separated, are playing In London, one Is assured of a bright brisk and artistic performance. The story of the play is amusing and full of Incident. Rudolph, a Rhineland noble of the thirteenth cen tury, has had a quarrel with his over lord. Philip, about the customary trib ute of two sacks of grain due to the latter Rudolph refuses to pay the tribute, and declares that for two pins he will go to Philip’s castle and pull hls nose. Philip promptly sends him the two pins and the nose-pulling oper ation Is actually done while Philip sits at wine with hls guests—a bold, swashbuckling crew. For this outrage Philip will not tight Rudolph—that would do him too much honor, and perhaps spill some of the overlord's blood. The enraged Philip devises a punishment that will cover Rudolph with ridicule. He is to be kept a prisoner until sunset the next day, when he will be set free. But first the wretched man must be stripped, painted with honey, and coated with goose feathers and thus sent home on the back of- an ass. There Is a condition under which Rudolph may avoid this Indignity. Philip, who has heard of Rudolph s lovely sister, the laidy Elsa, sends her a message to say that If she will come alone and unattended to hls castle she will save her brother from a “dread ful fate.’’ Rudolph vainly protests against this attempt on hls sisters honor, and declares he will suffer any thing rather than she should be com promised. Meanwhile Elsa has started for PhillpV castle In the disguise of a wandering knight, with a young poet In at»endance as her squire. She In made welcome in Philip's castle, where she betrays her Ignorance of weapons ants martial exercises. Philip tricks her Into betraying her sex by suddenly exclaiming. "A rat!*’ Although, a bold, bluff man. Philip is by no means a bad one. Hls meet- I)HT ItOIT. NKW YORK. E. B. Cadwell Cos.
