SAYS LINDENTHAL BRIDGE DESIGNER SUG GESTS TEST OF MODEL. City Officials Admit Estimated Stress of 20,000 Pounds Quebec Bridge Fell Under 18,000 Pounds. Bridge on account of the large Increase In 1Ne weight of material put into the structure over the quantities provided for in the original plans raised no end of a storm in the Bridge Depart ment and among city officials generally. regarding the safety of the Blackwell's Island

Mr. Ingersoll, the chief engineer of tho Bridge Department, asserted that The Tribune's story mas absolutely without foundation, as did the assistant engineers of the department in per sonal charge of the work. James W. Stevenson, the Bridge Commissioner, characterized the gory as utterly absurd. Mayor McClellan face tiously remarked that he expected the Bridge Commissioner 10 let him know when the col lapse was expected, so that he might be present. The engineers of the Bridge Department admit 10d, however, that the maximum stress to which the main compression, or carrying, members of the bridge will be subjected when the structure is completed was estimated at twenty thousand pounds to the square inch. When this admission was made it was pointed out that the Quebec bridge fell under a similar stress of eighteen thousand pounds a square inch. The reply was that the capacity of the main compression mem pers to withstand stress depended upon their de sign, and that these members in the Blackwell's Island Bridge were so designed as to withstand safely the maximum estimated stress of twenty thousand pounds a square inch if that stress was ever put upon them. Gustave Lindenthal, former Bridge Commis sioner, who personally superintended the pitpa ration of the origina! plans for the Blackwell's Island Bridge upon which the contract for the superstructure was awarded, stated in the most positive manner that the design of the main compression members of the Blackwell's Isiand Bridge as erected was inferior to the design of the corresponding members of the ill fated Que bec bridge. He stated, also, that he was strongly of the opinion that if these members of the Rlackwell's Island Bridge were ever subjected to the maximum stress of twenty thousand pounds a square inch there would be grave danger of the structure collapsing.

AGREE WITH MR. LINDENTHAL. The statement made by Mr. Lindenthal re garding the design of the main compression members of the Blackwell's Island Bridge bears out opinions expressed by other competent tridge engineers. if it is true that the main cnmapression members of the Quebec bridge were hetter and more strongly designed, and still fatied under a stress of 18% pounds a square inch. it is difficult to see how the corresponding members of the Blackwell's Island Bridge, if they are, as stated. less strongly designed, can withstand a stress of 2008) pounds a square inch, or 11 per cent more than the stress under hich the Quebec bridge failed. It seems plain to the ordinary lay mind that under such conditions the main compression members of the Blackwell's Island Bridge can unt be expected to sustain a stress of 20,000 pounds a square inch and still be safe. There is, however, a simple and comparatively inexpensive may in which all controversy re garding the safety of the new bridge can be set a1 rest. The same course, suggests Mr. Linden thal, could be followed as was followed in re gpect to the Quebec bridge, only before and not after any possible disaster. A model of the main compression members that may be subjected to thiz maximum stress of twenty thousand pounds 2 square inch of such proportionate size that it might be tested in the largest existing testing mzcrhine in the country could be mace and sub mitted to a test up to the limit of the load it is expacted to sustain.

This would demonstrate satisfacterily whether the Bridge Department has made the misiake of yroviding for a stress upon these members past the point of safety. Such a test, The Tribune is informed, could be made within a single month &nd zt a cost small enough to be insignificant when compared with the cost of the bridge and the zreat importance of the issue. "The Tiibune has been handed a2 lemon this t'me was the remark made by Mr. Stevenson when a Tribune reporter joined the numerous gzthering of nemspaper men that besieged the Bridge (Commissioner's office yesterday morning. “The entire story is absurd, and IT am aston ished that it was printed mlhout first being re ferred to this department for its side of the case. With reference to the financial end of the sub Jeet there had been expended upon the Black wells Island Bridge up to March 1 of this year $14000 ows, of which amount £745,000 was for Pea! estate. The rest represents the amount of Money that went into the bridge proper.”

“le it true that after the fall of the Quebec bridge vour engineers were instructed to go Over the stresses?” the Commissioner was asked. 4 AN INCREASE OF 25 PER CENT. “Yes they did make an investigation, but no Written report was prepared. The result of the investigation was given to the chief engineer eng myself verbally, and that result was that he zetual stresses did not exceed the calculated flresses by more tian 13% per cent.

He received a scalp wound, a possible fracture of the skull and in ternal injuries which may result in his death.

The man was crossing the street when two taxicabs approached, running abreast. One of them struck him and knocked him over in front of the other. Before the second chauffeur could stop his machine the front wheels had passed over the man’s body.

George Kaiser, a driver, of No. 512 West 16th street, was taken from his home later in the night to Bellevue Hospital, with two stab wounds in his chest and another in a shoul der. He said that he had been attacked by ten men in Avenue A, dragged into a doorway and stabbed by one of them. James Daly, a crip pled pedler at the elevated road station, said Kaiser was one of the men who rushed past him immediately after the murder on the “L’ stair way.

Suspicion fell on Kaiser soon after he was taken to the hospital because of his vague de scription of the men who are supposed to have assaulted him. The surgeons under whose charge he was placed in the hospital said that his wounds looked as though they might have been inflicted with an instrument similar to the me used in killing the stranger. Kaiser was later taken to the prison ward of Bellevue. He refuses to talk about himself.

Omaha, May 12 —Twelve persons are known to have been killed and a score injured by a tornado which swept over the northern part of Sarpy County at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The storm, which gained velocity on its way south, started in Omaha about 4:30 o'clock. At Belle vue the college buildings were damaged to the extent of probably $50,000, and several persons were injured.

The heaviest loss of life is reported at Lois: ville, a junction point on the Missouri Pacific and Barlington roads in Cass County. Near the village of Ritchfield, Elmer Leader was killed and his father was seriously injured. Edward Miller, a farmer near Ritchiield, was fatally injured. House of G. D. Sherman, at Port Henry. N.

“THE” ALLEN DEAD CORONER INVESTIGATING. Foul Play Suspected in Fate of Notorious Gambler. CORONER INVESTIGATING. Foul Play Suspected in Fate of Notorious Gambler. #The" death, in ordering an autopsy. He halted the embalming of the body, and early this morning examined the relatives and household of the former poolroom man and gambler. ranted Coroner Harburger, who investigated the Allen's physician, Dr. Hermann Boeker, of No. 102 East 68th street, said his patient died from locomotor staxia, but one of the dead man’s brothers, Martin Van Buren Allen, of No. 250 West 146th street, declared it his belief that Allen was the victim of foul play. The coroner was not apprised of the death until midnight, although Allen died at 10:30 o'clock in the evening. He was informed that Allen had been ili and out of his mind since last Thursday, and since that day had been in the care of a trained nurse, who told the coroner he had found the sick man disturbed both physi cally and mentally, and had been told that Mr. Allen was insane. Allen leaves three brothers—one a half brother—and all were in the house when Coro ner Harburger made his, investigation. They are William Allen, the halfbrother; Martin Van Buren Allen and I'rank Allen. Martin Van B. Allen said that he had been sent for last Tlhairsday, but that persons in the house had told him “The” believed that he (Martin) was trying to poison him and that this so angered him he stayed away. Last night, when he was informed that his brother was dying, Martin hurried downtown. He was emphatic on the subject of foul play.

He told the cororer Theodore had said to at least a dozen people that he believed he had been poisoned.

The coroner also learned that so fearful was Allen that he would be poisoned that he would not take a drink of water without first_seeing some one else take a sip of it.

The coroner interrogated the other brothers, and they both said Allen had been fearful of being poisoned, but this, they said, was due alone to his disordered state of mind.

William Allen, according to the coroner, at first denied that his brother had talked of poison, but when it was suggested that he think again he 1s said to have made the ad mission that what Martin sai was true.

“The” Allen, the “wickedest man in New York,” who defied axe and crowbar and writ for more than fifty years, was seventy-five years old. His career dates back to the palmy days of the Mer cer street precinct, when that place was the “sperting” section of New Yerk. It began in the 60's, when Allen, who had served his country hon orably in the Civil War, returned to New York and set himsell up as the king of gamblers, the sport of sports.

The rccords show that he had been indicted time and time again; that he had been arraigned in the police courts nearly two hundred times; that he had been in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court three times; that he had been in the Court of Appeals twice, and that he had been in the federal courts twice. When he was first taken il}, about two years ago, Allen _went to District Attorney Jerome and told him that he was th¥ough with the gambling busi ness forever. “I would have quit long ago,” he said, “but 1 didn’t feel like backing down under fire. T always thought the Perey-Gray law was un constitutional, and that to fine or imprison me for violating it while other gamblers were being pro tected by the authorities was the rankest kind of injustice. That's why I hung on.” BEGINNING OF GAMBLING CAREER. Allen became a gambler through accidentally meeting a professional who took an interest in him and initiated him into the business. He was born in the old 9h Ward and began to earn his living when he was ten years old. He worked in a butcher shop owned by “Bill” Pool, who was after ward murdered by “Lew” Baker. During the Civil War hie served as lieutenant in the 25th New York Volunteers and was honorably discharged at its close. i

His two brothers, Wesley and Jesse Allen, who were better known as “Wess” and *‘Jess,” were

bright stars of the sporting life in New York some forty-odd years ago, when “The” was known as the wickedest man in town. Besides being known to the police as a gambler, “The” had the reputa tion of being one of the most successful barroom “scrappers’” in New York. Once he got into n fight with an Itallan named Carrera, who tried re peatedly to stab Allen. After a few minutes of rolling on the floor Allen managed to get hold of a heavy mineral water bottle, and with it he knocked the Italian unconscious, after the latter had nearly bitten his nose off.

“Ed” Malloy, “The’'s” partner, was shot and killed by a pistol in the hands of Allen in 1878. The murder indictment, however, was dismissed after Allen told his story in court. Of his Civil War record he used to say: *My war record? I went into the first battle of the Civil War, and remained in the service until the last one was fought. Six months after enlisting 1 was assigned to the secret service. 1 assumed the role of a fugitive from the Confederate States, went to Montreal, had a reward of $0,000 placed on my head, and, to get information for my govern ment, joined the raiders in their attacks on St. Albans, Vt. 1 was captured there by the United States forces and sentenced to he executed the next day. A telegram from Secretary Stanton to Gen eral Schofield, in command of St. Albans, raved me. That, 1 suppose, was the narrowest escape from death 1 ever had. It was Henry Ward Beecher who, by telegram, inforined Stanton of my plight. Beecher was billed to lecture in St. Albans the day of my arrest.”

Alien’s slight figure (he stood 5 feet 6 inches in height) was for the greater part of half a century familiar in Greenwich Village. He was credited with running the West End Club, at No. 8 Sixth avenue, for more than a quarter of a century.

i i ATTACKED BY “BOSS TWEED.

Away back in the old days *“Boss" Tweed at tacked Alien. There may have been a reason for the attack by Tweed and his subordinates, but Allen never ‘‘gave up,” as he put it. This was after the death of Malloy, and Allen dated his “solitary life’” from the hours following his arrest after the killing of Malloy, when he found himself friendless,’ saying: “It's me against the world from new on. On this side of the Jordan River I'll never stand and deliver.”

“The” Allen's wife was a very religious woman, and “The” used to “butt in” on some of her pri vate work among the very poor in the old Green wich Village section. “The” was known to the majority of garretts and basements in the section and his money was always given freely and plenti fully. In his lifetime Le paid the funeral expenses of nearly four hundred persons, men, women and ~hildren. They used to call Sixth avenue at about ith street ‘Rock Hollow.”

Washington, fay 12.—The body of George Clinton, twice Vice-President of the United States and first Governor of the Empire State, of which he was the executive for twenty-one vears. was yesterday exhumed at the old Con gregational Cemetery and transferred to the United States Naval Hospital, where it now lies, awaiting removal to the old Clinton home, at Kingston, N. Y. The body was found to be in a most remarkable state of preservation, in spite

of the fact that it had rested in the leaden coffin

for ninety-six years. The chemicals in the soil had seemingly petrified most of the upper por tions of the Body and head, and even the cloth of the coat and silk of the long stockings seemed to be as strong and substantial as when new. The granite monument which has so long marked the grave in the old cemetery has been taken down, and started on its way to Kingston last night. The coffin will follow within a fort night.

The exhumation was witnessed by Louis F. Ganet, a great-grandnephew of Governor Clin ton; Benjamin M. Brink, of Kingston; Chaplain R. R. Hoes, of the navy; Brigadier Robert M. O'Reilly, surgeon general of the army, and Dr. Marcus Benjamin, one of the leading officials of the Smithsonian Institution and president of the Society of the War of 1812.

After workmen had been engaged for two weeks in removing the monument and its foun dation, and an excavation ten or twelve feet in depth had been made, no trace of the coffin had yet been found. By the use of a pole driven in the earth as a probe, exactly after the method pursued by General Horace Porter in seeking for the body of Paul Jones, and after consider able exploration, the metal box was finally struck, at a depth of nearly twenty feet. The digging was then renewed and finished and the leaden box brought to light. It was immedi ately transferred to the Naval Hospital, where Dr. O'Reilly presided at an autopsy. Measure ments of Governor Clinton's skull were taken and a minute examination of the entire pody was made. The upper portions of the body were found to be in a better state of preserva tion than the lower, but, considering the fact that the body had been in the coffin for nearly a century, all agreed that its lifelike appearance was remarkable.

It is the intention of Governor Clinton's de scendants in New York and New England to make the reburial the great feature of King ston’s Memorial Day exercises. On that day the old town will celebrate its 250th anniver sary, and {it will be a source of the greatest pride to all the citizens to be able at the same time to pay fitting homage to the memory of their most distinguished townsman. If present plans are carried out the body of Gov ernor Clinton will be accompanied to the Union Station in Washington by an imposing military escort,. led by General Bell, chief of staff of the army. In the procession wiil be representatives of patriotic organizations, companies of ma rines and soldiers from the various branches of the service, and a large attendance of govern ment officials and private citizens. President

I Roosevelt has been invited to attend, and if he cannot be present will send a representative. The body will be accompanied from Washington by a guard of honor selected from the patriotic societies and will make the journey from the capital to New York City by train. The rail road company has signified its desire to trans port the coffin as well as the monument to New York free of charge. At New York the coffin will be transferred to A revenue cutter and will probably be escorted up the Judson by several torpedo boats. The transfer from the boat to shore and from shore lo the cemetery at Kingston will be marked by appropriate exercises.

BANK'S LOSS, $1,250,000. Bail of Cashier of Allegheny Na tional Increased to $100 .000). IBy Telegrarh to The Tribune 1 [By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Tener was on Montgomery's bond for $3.00), and it has heen noised about that Montgomery had publicly an nounced that he would commit suicide.

The United States authorities decided to in crease the bail to $100,000, and, after Montgom ery had been “sweated” for four hours and made a signed confession of how he had looted the bank, Tener again signed his bond for S50.04M), and R.

Havana, May 12.—The schooners Emma Smith and General, carrying crews of twenty and seventeen men respectively, have been seized for engaging in tortoise fishing among the keys south of thé Isle of Pines. The Emma Smith was anchored and was readily captured, but the General tried to escape and was not stopped until a revenue cutter shot her amidships, after firing three shots across her bows. The two schooners hail from Nassau, and aboard of them was found all the paraphernalia for tortoise fishing. Hundreds of pounds of tortoise shell also was discovered. It was in this locality that the British schooner Exceed, with a crew of twenty-one men, was captured a few days ago. MR. TAFT LEAVES COLON. The Secretary's Successful Trip as Peacemalker. Colon, May 1l.—Secretary Taft sailed from here at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the Prairie “for Charleston. During his stay om the isthmus, which has lasted six days, the Secretary has had not an idle moment. So many affairs of impor tance had to receive his attention that he was unable to accept any of the many social invita tions extended to him. Secretary Taft's efforts were directed mainly to improvements in the administration of the canal zone, the consideration of the boundary dispute between Panama and Colombia and the relations between Panama, Colombia and the United States. There have been many confer ences in which Secretary Taft, President Ama dor, Foreign Secretary Arias, Mr. Squiers, the American Minister; Senor Arango, the Panaman Minister, and William Nelson Cromwell, the legal adviser of the canal company, have taken part, and while no official statement has been given out relative to much that has been ac complished, it is announced that a satisfactory agreement has been reached. The matter of the boundary line will be taken up by Mr. Taft with President Roosevelt and Secretary Root when he reaches Washington. Havana, May 12.-Governor Magoon to-night an nounced that he had received a dispateh from See retary Taft on Saturday inviting him, in the name of the Panaman administration and people, to go to the isthmus to settle disputes which had arisen. Governor Magoon sent Secretary Taft a message saying that he would give two weeks, beginning June 1, to the consideration of these questions. As yet Governor Magoon has not specified whom he will appoint Governor ad interim, but pre sumahly it will be Major General Barry. The Gov ernor recently received a dispateh from the Secre tary of War iNstructing him net to withdraw the 27th Infantry from Cuba until after the Governor's conference with General Barry.

NEW WAY TO SAVE THE DROWNING. i Surgeon Advocates Cutting Open the Chest and Working Heart by Hand. Hartford, Cenn., May 1Z.—It is believed by Dr. D. F. Sullivan, who, while operating on Nunecio C. Chial at St. Franeis's Hospital on Sunday, as told in The Tribune, twice saved his patient from death by gently grasping the heart and squeezing it in time with its normal pulsations until it beat again of its own accord, that many lives might be saved by this method of artificial respiration. To all ap pearances the man was dead twice, and vet he lived again when the heart was squeezed, sending the blood coursing through the arteries.

Dr. Sullivan thinks that if a person could be operated upon immediately after being taken from the water in many drowning cases life might be conserved. He advocates opening the hody and removing the ribs until the heart is visible and is accessible, in order that the fingers may be in serted to handle it. In many accidents life still lingers long after the person seems to have ceased to breathe.

GOV. HUGHES GRATIFIED. Says Wallace's Election Is “Begin ning of Jind"—Carnegie Happy. Washington, May 1.2.—“It is the beginning of the end,” was the way Governor Hughes of New York characterized the election to-day of Will iam C. Wallace as State Senator to fill the va cancy in the 47th New York District, caused by the death of State Senator G. P. Franchot. The election is regarded here as a triumph for Gov ernor Hughes in his fight against racetrack gambling in the Empire State, and he was the recipient of congratulations on returning to his hotel after the dinner in honor of the Governors at the White House to-night.

“I am gratified at the result,” said the Gov ernor. “It is what I have heen expecting all along.” His face beamed with pleasure as he was pressed to hold an informal reception in the hotel lobby. Andrew Carnegie was one of the first to congratulate the Governor.

“Nothing I could have heard would have pleased me more,” he said. “I knew you would win. I am so happy 1 shall sleep less to-night than usual, and if I were a drinking man I should invite the crowd to have one,” he added, turning to the group of Governors, Senators, Representatives, newspaper men and others who had gathered about Mr. Hughes. “But, of course, all of you would refuse,” added the laird of Skibo with a twinkle.

“It would no doubt surprise you,” said the Governor, “how many of us would accept the in vitation were it given.” “What effect will the passage of the anti gambling bill in the District of Columbia have on the situation in New York?” Governor Hughes was asked. “I do not care to say,” Le replied. ‘You ma¥ draw your own inference. It shows the feeling of the people on this question.” Govegnor Hughes said he would return to Al bany to-morrow night, as his presence is re quired there. IDAHO FOR TAFT.

Victory for Governor's Anti-Game bling Policy Claimed— Light Vote in District. Lockpert, N. Y, May 12 —William C. Wallace (Republican) was elected to-day Senator from the 47th District, receiving a plurality of 24% votes over Henry A. MeMahon, the Democratic candidate. The total vote was: Wallace, 7.601; McMahon, 7,353. This is about two-thirds of the normal vote in the district. The total vote of Niagara County was: Wal lace, 4,982; McMahon, 35,3581; McMahon's plural= ity, 599. The total vote of Orleans County was: Wallace, 2,619; McMahon, 1,772; Wallace's plu= rality, S47.

WILLIAM C. WALLACE, OF NTAGARA FALLS, Who was elected State Senator in the 47th Dis trict yesterday. created by the death of Senator S. P. Franchot. a Republican. An unusual feature of the brief but active campaign that preceded the election was the obliteration of party lines, the real issue being the anti-gambling attitude assumed by Governor Hughes. The newly elected Sem ator will have a seat in the present extra ses ‘ston of the Legislature, and he is éXperted to act with the friends of the Governor when arn other attempt is made to pass the racing bills, which would prohibit public betting at the race tracks in the state. These bills failed of pas sage at the regular session by a tie vote. This vote was taken some time after the death of Senater Franchot, and it was expected that the stand taken by his successor would determine the fate of the bills at the extra sessicn Early in the campaign the Republican candi date was committed to the support of the Gov ernor. while McMahon was generally understood to hold views in eoppesition to those of Mr. Hughes on the matter of racing Accordingly, the outcome to-day is claimed as a victory for the anti-gambling policy of the Governor. While this is true in a sense, the expression at the polls cannot he regarded purely in the light of a gam biing issue. Another factor in the fight was the objection expressed chiefly throughout the farme ing communities to the special election. The election involved eonsiderable expense, and it was frequently threatened that many whe thought this expense unjustified would vote against the Republican candidate without regard to their sentiment on gambling. The return® show that the light vote was due to a great ex tent to the failure of the farmers to go to the polls. In 1906 Franchot polled 11.046 votes, and Fluhrer, Democrat, 10.474 From a party peint of view, McMahon made heavy gains in Niagara County. He carried his home city of Niagara Falls by 498, a normal Democratic vote, and in Lockport received a majority of 362, a decided gain. He carried Niagara County by 33%. The country vote was not polled to nearly its full strength. Similar conditions existed in Orleans County so far as the country vote was concerned. except in thos® districts where the issue had been made tha subject of Sunday sermons in the churches Ia Orleans County. however, the norma! Repub fican plurality was held proportionately. In the few days preceding the election Gove ernor Hughes made a speaking tour of the dis trict, accompanied by Wallace. The Governor addressed several mass meetings in the interests of the Republican candidates, and other meet ings were held at w hich demonstrations in sup port of Wallace were made. The Frohibition vote was an inconsiderable factor. totalling about three hundred. The Prohibition candi date, Hartman, during the campaign announced that he would be satisfied if the Prohibitionists voted for Wallace. The election throughout tha district passed oif quietly, and the use of voting machines in mapy instances made the early de termination of the contest possible.

EE i “HANDWRITING ON W_ ALL”

Albany Considers Wallace's Election Great Hughes Victory. Albany, May 12.—The election of Wallace 1¥ regarded here as a great victory for Governor Hughes. Warm Hughes men have never doubted the result for a moment, though they have recognized that it would be close, because all conditions were against the Governor. They feel now that its effect on the legislative situa= tion here will be salutary. “Governor Hughes remarked in one of his speeches in the district that there would be handwritirg on the wall very soon in this state.” declared one Hughes man. “Mr. Barnes, of Albany County, whe has defled and de~ nounced the Governor, always has declared that the real test of public sentiment was at the bal lot box. I wonder if this handwriting on the wall won't appeal to him a little. It strikes ma that it ought to make the Governor's enemies in the Legislature pause a little before carrying out their dire threats.” Politicians are studying with keen interest the details of the vete in the several districts, and comwpaziag nates as to the effect of the result on By Telegraph to The Tribune.

FOELKER NOT SO WELL Senator's Temperature 101. and He Is in Nervous Condition. Cr Poughkeepsie. N. Y., May 12.—Dr. Murphy stated to-night that Senator Foelker was not so well as he was this morning. His temperature is 101, and he continues in a very nervous state. After seeing the patient early to-day Dr. Murphy said that his temperature was 1084-5, or 1 degree Jower than it was yesterday, when his condition was serious, owing largely to his nervous condition. Senator Foelker slept well last night under the fnfluence of medicine, and was less nervous when the physician saw him this mormag. He was troubled hecause of his inability to attend the opening of the Legislature lust night. ONE CAR BUTTS ANOTHER. Smashes in Its Side and Knocks It OF Track in Rush Hour. An Eighth avenue southbound car smashed into the side of a 14th street eastbound car in the rush hour last night. Both cars, through some misunderstanding, had started at the same time and were unable to avoid a collision. The 14th street car was crowded. the pas sengers being thrown into a heap. but no one was hurt, either on it or on the comparatively empty Eighth avenue car, with the exception of the latter's motorman, James Early. He was cut by flying glass, but refused medical attend ance, and continued on his way after the 14th street car had been removed {from the track by a wrecking crew. The collision knocked the 14th street car off the track, broke in part of its side and smashed several of its windows. The storm vestibule of the Eighth avenue car was splintered. There were no arrests. "VARSITY GIRLS TO PLAY BASEBALL ‘Barnard Students in Training for an Inter necine Contest. The students whe work in the chemical labora tories in Havemeyer Hall, Columbia University, watched for two weeks about twenty-five Bamard £iris in Millbank quadrangle playing some sort of game in which a ball and a piece of wood. three feet long were used. The students’ euriosity in creased daily. The ball that was used looked like a basketball, only it was smaller. The Columbia students learned yesterday that they had been watching the trying out of the candi dates for the Barnard “varsity baseball nine. The Barnard girls will have a game all te themselves next week. when the senior sophomore combination will take the field against the junior freshman nine. Ever since March 15 Dr. Fover, of the depart ment of physical education, has had a squad train ing, part of the time in the gymnasium and lately <n the quadrangle. Nobody knows just who originated the idea of a baseball club, but, at anv rate, one has been or ®anized. The Smithers sisters are the battery for the juniors and freshmen, while Miss Ethel Lever idge will pitch fur the seniors. The game will be played on the tennis courts behind locked gates. The uniforms will be regulation” bloomers, with a large blouse, en the front of which will be the Tyvarsity letters. Miss VV. Gildersleeve, of the Eng ligh department, will act as umpire, but all disputes will be settled by the student council, which will have a special session out on the field. STABS WIFE AND CUTS HIS THROAT. Washington, May 12.—George Hibbard, thirty eight years old, ef No. 67 6th street, Northwest, and employed in one of the government depart ments. stabbed and seriously wounded his wife, Jadu Hibbard, to-night at her home, Na. 41 B strect, Northwest, and then cut his own throat. Mrs. #Hibard is not expected to live. Hibbard, in at tempting to conumit suicide, severed his windpipe. He will probably recover. The Hibbards had been living apart for some time. jf 1 FOR RESTORING WORDS ON COINS. Washington.

Instruments of all stylesand sizes that ANGRY AT GOVERNOR] ANTI-HUGHES MEN TALK. Muttering gs of Men Fearing Im pending Danger, It Is Said. [By Telegraph to The Tribune i Albany, May 12.—Fwll realization -that Governor Hughes intends to stay in the fight against the bosses and special interests who defeated the racing and direct nominations pills until he wins has at last come to the legislators, who have now digested his message of last night® As a result it would be hard to find a more bitter, resentful and malicious number of men than some of the mem vers of both houses to-day. Just two things seem possible to prevent his pres ent defeat on all his programme—surrender by the bosses in an endeavor to avert public indignation and to sidetrack the renomination of Governor Hughes, or a genuine uprising throughout the state which shall beat down the bosses, their allies, the special interests, and their tools in the Legislature now oprosing the Governor. The hatred of the Governor, which found vent in the Assembly in hisses and groans on the day of adjournment, seems puerile in comparison with the vituperation heaped on him by some of the anti Hughes Senators ir private. Many things enter into this feeling, although the ostensible reason for it is the “coercion” used by the Governor in calling the extraordinary session to reconsider leg islation already “considered” at the regular ses sion. Actually this hatred proceeds from resent ment at the audacity of any man who should dare to think of interfering with the divine rights and privileges of legislators and bosses to do what they please, but, more than that, of any man who should instill such ideas—such actual heresies—into the minds of voters. CASSIDY SPEAKS OUT. Publicly this state of mind finds expression in slurs and innuendocs. Senator Owen Cassidy, who gained prominence throughout the state because of the “John and 1” telegraph dispatch, took the lead in that direction to-day. Just as the Senate was about to adjourn he arose and in a venomous voice declared: “I want to give notice now that there will be a most extraordinary session of the Committee on Public Health on July 1 to consider legislaticin of paramount importance.” Cassidy's committee ordi narily holds only three or four meetings a session which amount to anything. The laughter which greeted his fling at the Governor was anything but joyful. Privately the anti-Hughes men do not attempt to put any check on the expression of their feelings. liis personality is reviled, his views ridiculed, his methods criticised, and in a few instances his mo tives impugned. The noticeable fact about all this is that sooner or later whatever politician is doing the talking will get around to the boss issue, when his feelings become bitterest. It is easy to see where the shoe pinches. z “Hughes is destroying the Republican organiza tion in this state,” declared one Senator. “When that condition comes about, it is a question of self reservation, and my idea is that we ought to de stroy Hughes.” “I recognize that Hughes is a strong man, and a brilliant man, and I'm willing to concede that he believes he’s a good and a great man,” said a Re publican Senator who voted to retain racetrack gambling. “But he's one of these fellows who climb up on to a pedestal and then forget that somebody helped em climb. I don't suppose he ever worked at a primary or a district caucus in his life. He certainly has no consideration for the men who have done so, and those are the men who elected him to office. Now he is trying to wipe them out. He's managed his campaign badly, though; he'li never be able to do it, any more than he'll be able to pass these bills he's proposing. His racetrack legislation is unwise: the majority of the people don’t believe in it; they don’t want any change in the primary or ballot laws, and I don’t believe they want a man like Hughes to i around bulldozing their elected representatives.” J BASIS FOR APPREHENSION FELT. Hughes men declare that these sentiments are the mutterings of men made desperate by appre hension of impending danger. There seems no doubt that much of this apprehension has a basis. Everybody here, pro-Hughes or anti-Hughes, real izes the possibility of a great political overthrow in the state election this autumn. Some Republicans are accusing Hughes of disloyalty to party in giving aid and comfort to the Democrats by preaching against bosses and ithe time honored “or ganization methods.” They do not attempt to ren der party service, though, by folliwing the Gov ernor’'s lead in heeding the public's wishes on the important legislation he has recommended, nor do they frequently try to challenge the accuracy of his views on this subject. Certainly, the situation at present does not look propitious for the success of the Governor's pro gramme. In the Assembly there seems to be 10 more intention of passing the public service amend menis or the direct nominations bill than at the regular session. The Senate bids fair to be dead locked on the anti-gambling bills again, while the direct nominations bill is too serious a proposition, now that it has the Governor's fervent support, for that body to toy with it. All the sub-surface tulk indicates the passing of the unimportant meas ures and a sudden adjournment.

The Hughes men, however, believe that even in the two or three weeks necessary to accomplish it a sufficient idea of the danger of such a proceed img will induce the Governor's enemies to abandon it. They feel that such a course would be practi cally equivalent to forcing the Governor to take another vomination. That would give him two years more to carry on his warfare against boss i=m; it would result almost certainly in the po litical destruction of those bosses gnd legislators who now are taking the lead against him. Or ir it did not work out that way, it would leave the way open for a Democratic victory in the fall elec tion.

LL Bills covering practically all the Governor's rec ommendations were introduced to-duy in both houses. Senator Davis and Assemblyman Wagner introduced a measure for the investigation of Wall Street stock speculation by commission. Assem [By Telegraph to The Tribune.

MAY 13, 1908. blyman Wainwright presented the public service TE a 0 8 i law amendments in the lower house. Senator Travis introduced the direct nominations bill. Sen ator Page introduced the primary measure for more complete and absolute identification of voters. Senator Saxe put in the bill for a commission to investigate the nuniber and condition of the unem ployed. Senator McCarren and Assemblyman D. Robinson, of Chemung, introduced “a bill for the government of political parties and to prevent fraudulent and arbitrary methods in the manage ment thereof.” M'CARREN AGREES WITH GOVERNOR. Senator McCarren said that this measure repre sented the ideas of all people in the state who wanted to see proper methods in force in the con duct of state conventions and political affairs gen erally. “I am very glad Governor Hughes has reached a point where I can indorse his ideas on this sub ject,” he said. “I might add that I am convinced that some good can come out of Nazareth.” This measure contains many provisions of di rect bearing on the way in which McCarren was expelled from the Democratic State Committee. It provides that there shall be another election of the Democratic State Committee—that is, of any state committee whose members are chosen by Senate districts—at the next state convention. The chairman of the committee must be a mem ber thereof. No sub-committee or special com mittee of the state committee may go into any county and effect a reorganization of the local partv organization. Delegates elected by the As sembly distriet conventions cannot be challenged save by cemplaint of an elector of the party af fected to the Supreme Court. The determination of the court, or, in the absence of such deter mination, the certificate of the office-s of the Assembly district convention, shall be conclusive. On the strength of these credentials, delegates must be placed on both temporary and permanent convention rolls. It is made a misdemeanor to deny their seats to them. No member may he ex pelled from the state committee save for convic tion of a felony or a violation of this act. No members shall be elected to the state committee save to fill vacancies caused in this fashion. The bill also would do away with the binding of delegates by the unit rule at state conventions. Section 6 of the bill says: Each delegate to a state convention shall be en titled to vote upon any question before the conven- tion or upon the nomination of any candidate in accordance with his own wishes or preference, and regardless of any unit rule which may have been adopted by his associate delegates from the same district or county, or by any political organization of which le may be a member, and for the purpose pi Young each delegate shall have the right to is individual name called and personally respond thereto. Bills and the Governor's message were referred to committees in the Senate to-day. Most of them 80 to Judiciary. A meeting of that committee was called for next Tuesday for a hearing if desired on the bill creating a bureau of mercantile inspec tion in the State Labor Department. The commit tee will sit all the rest of the week for hearings on other bills, Senator Raines gave notice this morning that he expected a quorum present next week, all members of the committees working to be on hand the entire week; and the following week regular sessions would be held each day. In the Assembiy legislative days only will be held until next week. Speaker Wadsworth said to-day that he expected the Assembly to pass the anti-gambling bills as soon as the Governor recommended them. The labor law, the official primary ballot, and probably the routine amendments to the public service com- missions law he thought also would be en i That would leave untouched the direct nomina tions bill and the important amendments to the public service commissions law. Assembly leaders say there is not the slightest disposition to abandon the attitude already taken on those questions. MICHIGAN FOR TAFT.

WANTS NO SECOND PLACE. “Could Not Serve” Even Were He Elected Vice-President. Governor Hughes in a letter to General Stew art I. Woodford, made public yesterday by the general, said that he would not accept a nomina tion for Vice-President. “Even if elected,” says the Governor, “I could not serve.” General Woodford is the president of the Na tiozaal Hughes League, and recently wrote the Governor concerning the possibility of his being nominated for Vice-President Now that it is a forégone conclusion that Secretary Taft will be rominated, persons who want to make sure of a Republican victory in the state next fall have be gun talking about running him for Vice-President, General Woodford became aware of the work that was being done to give the Governor second place

on the ticket, and determined to find out just how the Governor felt about it. The Governor's letter is as follows:

My Dear General Woodford: I find your letter of the Tth inst. awaiting me on my return to Albany. I have not said anything publicly regard ing the Vice-Presidency, as the matter has not been broached to me in a way which seemed to require any action on my part. But I do not de sire to have my silence misinterpreted, and you as a delegate to the convention are entitled to an unequivocal statement. You are entirely right in Your assumption as to my attitude.

I should not care to be thought lacking in ap preciation of the distinction of the office. But for reasons which are controlling and leave no room for discussion and, though I would be deeply sensible of the honor thereby conferred, I should not be able to accept, and would not in any con tingency accept, a nominatien for the VicePresi dency. And even were I elected I could not serve. tee Tr —e: os BE ee ji

Governor Hughés reached here yesterday morn ing at 11:35 o'clock on his way to Washington to attend the President's conference with the Gov ernors. After luncheon at the Hotel Astor he left for Washington.

The Governor's explicit words about the Vice Presidency strengthen the belief among his friends that the trend of things pelitical in this state will force his renomination as Governor.

i In the judgment of local Republicans his ilk sage to the legislature calling for the direct pri- mary law and amendments to the Public Service commissions law, together with the pending strug- gie over the gambling legislation, has started him in a battle that will force his renomination.

H. B. Kingle, manager of the Hughes informa tion bureau, at No. 165 Broadway, said yesterday that the Niagara victory would strengthen the support of Governor Hughes all over the country.

“The news of this triumph of the Hughes idea will serve to show the people of other states what sort of Presidential timber we have in Hughes,” he said. “This is all that my organization is at tempting to do, without prejudice or comparison. When all the people know the Governor as we do, 1 believe the country will have a candidate who works while others run.”

The Hughes information bureau last night sent out through the mails many thousands of leaflets setting forth the Governor's record and ability. The bureau held the circulars back until the result in the Niagara-Orleans district was known. It is the intention to send circulars to some of the Western states.

GIVES UP WORK IN BEHALF OF TAFT.

Robert C. Ogden Ordered to Europe by Phyvsician for Rest and Treatment.

Robert OC. Ogden, who has been in charge of the work of the Taft organization of the State of New York, will sail for Kurope to-day on the Teutonic, going to Nauheim, upon the order of his physician, for rest and treatment. He paid a farewell visit yesterday to Chairman louis CC. Hay at the head quarters of the*organization. i

“With the utmost loyalty to one or two excellent men whose names are mentioned for the nomina tion, Mr. Taft is certainly the logical candidate,” said Mr. Ogden. "We have been greatly encouraged in our work. Much has been accomplished, and it is not our purpose to assume any functions of the regular party organization, but only in a dignitied and respectful way to inform the national conven tion that there is a very large and influential Taft opinion in New York State. i

i “Of course, when the will of the convention is made known we wiil bow (0 its mandates and work as individuals for its nominee. However, we cer tainly hope and expect that Judge Taft will head the ticket.”

Eax-Senator in Sym pathy with Home Rule Democracy Men. [By Telegraph to The Tribune. Albany, May 12.—The temporary executive com mittee appointed at the Ttica conference of the Home Rule Democracy, organized to fight “Fingey” Conners and Charles F. Murphy, met here to-day to effect a permanent organization and form plans for the battle. For the first time it was disclosed that ex-Senator David B. Hi'l was in hearty sym pathy with the movement, was acting as adviser to the committee, and whatever influence he could command would be with the new organization. Before the meeting to-day Senator MeCarren, Charles F. Rattigan, of Auburn, and ex-Judge Sam Beardsley, of Utica. at whose instance the call for the Utica conference was sent out, called on ex-Senator Hill. They were closeted with him for half an hour. None of them would say a word about the visit, nor would Mr. Hill Plans were discussed at the meeting to begin a fight against Conners and Murphy in every Assem bly district in the state. Reports from different counties showed mueh sentiment for a reorganiza tion of party control within party lines. The ex ecutive committee practically decided to create a state committee of 150—one member irom each As sembly district, thus getting the basis of repro sentation as small as possible to get “close to the people.” Considerable objection was raised ou. the score that the body would be unwieldly, and finally the committee determined to have elect ed an executive committee from among the mem bers from each Senate district. which should deo most of the work. This would leave that com mittee one of fifty-one members, just lke the pres ent Democratic State Committee. i Lr ia i i Resolutions were adopieed indorsing the MeCar ren-Robinson bill to prevent “arbitrary =ction” by political parties and committees.

MITCHELL, BRYAN'S RUNNING MATE. FAIRBANKS WILL NOT WITHDRAW ASSAY OFFICE EXTENSION JOIINSON ON POLITICS. SR—— Would Support Bryan and Thinks Nebraskan Would Support Him. Washington, May lZ.—Governor John A. Jehn son of Minnesota arrived in Washington to-day to attend the conference of Governors. On the same train with Governor Johnson were Vice-President Fairbanks and William Jennings Bryan. The two Democratic aspirants for the Presidency met on the train. but they did not, according to Geverner Johnson, discuss polities. Asked his opinion as to the political outlook, Governor Johnson said: “There seems to be a split in the Republican party. which, ne doubt, will injure it consideradiy. Also. the Republican party will be calied upen explain several questions, such as the incipient financial panic which swept the eountry last fall All this taken into consideration, I am convinced that the Demeoeratic party has an excellent chance of success in the approaching campaign.” “Would you support Mr. Bryan if he is nomi nated?” Governor Johnson was asked. “To be sure,” he replied vigorously. “Why net? If the Demeecratie party feels that Mr. Bryan is the man most suited for the Presidency 1 shail gladly aid him in his campaign. will suppert Mr. Bryan er any ether Democrat who is nomi nated. for I want to see the Democracy carry the country. “Jf the people believe that I can zet enough votes for election.

EXPECTS 75 CONTESTS EXPECTR 75 CONTENTS H. S. NEW ON SITUATION. Chairman Lays Plans for Calling National Committee. H. S. NEW ON SITUATION. Chairman Lays Plans for Calling National Committee. estimates that the committee Will be Calliope ta hear and decide not jess than seventy-five man of the National Committee, contests at its meeting preceding the national convention, called for June 1G. The assumption has been expressed in various quarters that as it became increasingly ovident that the nomina tion of Secretary Taft was assured on the first ballot. numerous contests would be dropped, for the reason that however they might be decided they could not affect the ultimate result, and the suggestion has even been made that certain contestants would seck to acquire places on the winning band wagon and give an imitation of hazing been there from the beginning of the campaign. Chairman New regards these assumptions and suzcestions as unfounded, and presents excel lent reasons for his belief. He maintains that where contests have actually been instituted there will, generally speaking; be no withdrawal of the contestants until after a decision by the national committee. This is due to the fact that iocal issues of vital importance to the politicians involved are bound up in almost every contest, 2nd especially is this true of those in the South ern states. For instance, in Tennessee there is no opposition to Secretary Taft, but there is in tense bitterness between the Brownlow and the Landers factions, and the decision of the na tional committee will determine which faction «hall name the national committeeman for the ensuing four years. In practically every in stance of a state contest the selection of the national committeeman is involved, and as the 1acal Republican organization, with the national committeenan as referee, is the dispenser of patronage, it is of vital importance to each fac 1ion to obtain a victory.

Sn. 100. in a less degree, with the district con tests, The winners will, presumably, have the ear of the administration and of the Congress delegation fer four years, and it is hardly to be expected that any delegation will acknowledge s1se1f defeated and “out of the running’ until compelled to do so by the decree of the national organization. Of course, there are some in stances where the opposition to Mr. Taft's nom ination has widely heralded contests which have failed to materialize. The Ist Congress Dis trict of Illinois furnishes an example of this kind. The district convention instructed its delegates to vote for Mr. Taft. Immediately it was announced in the public prints that the con vention was irregular, and that a contest would Le instituted. An examination of the circum ctances attending the convention, however, re vealed the fact that there was not even the flimsiest pretext on which to base a contest, and therefore none has been instituted. But, then, in Illinois the delegation in Congress is so cer tain to be Republican that the question of patronage is not involved to the extent it is in Southern states, where the Congress delegations zre of the opposite political faith.

It is further peinted out that the one remain ing hope of contestants who opposed the instruc tion of Taft delegates, organized rump conven tions and obtained their own election without instructions, is to procure seats in the conven tion and then vote for Secretary Taft. That is the only method open to them whereby they might make a pretence of having sought places on the Taft band wagon from the beginning, but of having opposed the regular Taft delegates be cause of local conditions. Otherwise they must accept political oblivion.

I"nder the call of the national committee con teste must be filed with the committee, in the form of printed briefs from both sides, by May ©7. ten days after the last convention may be held, except in those states where local laws prescribe a later date. As politicans, like other people, are prone 1o procrastinate, this means that the majority of the contests will not reach the committee until late in May—too late to per mit the call for the special meeting to be de erred until that time. Therefore, it will be nec essary for the committee to act on the indica 1inns as presented by the press, and it is from the published reports that Chairman New draws his conclusion that not less than seventy-five contests will be presented for the consideration of the committee. Acting on this information, unless coming events should materially alter the prospects, Mr. New will call the committee +agether on June 1 or 2, presumably the former. 37ic call will be issued from Chicago when the committee on arrangements holds its meeting, beginning on May 15.

WILL VOTE TO-MORROW Success of Cyrrency Bill in House a Mocied Question. From The Tribune Bureau.] Washington, May 12.—The House will vote on the Vreeland currency bill day after to-morrow. This decision was reached by the House leaders at a conference this afternoon, and the Committee on Rules will meet to-morrow to draft a rule by which four hours’ debate will be allowed. Ia order that no miscalculation may be made as to the strength of the forces behind the bill Representative Watson has been hard at work all day admonishing mem bers to be in their seats on Thursday, as a close vote is expected. Both Mr. Vreeland and Mr. Watson said to-day that the bill would pass by a comfortable majority, but some members believe that no more than ten votes one way or the other will decide the measure’'s fate. At an informal conference of the Democrats held in the cloakroom this afternoon it was decided that the minority should oppose the measure, and although this action is in no way binding, it is thought that not more than two Democrats will vote in favor of the bill. With practically the solid Democratic strength cast against the measure, the “insurgent” Republicans assert that twenty-five votes from the majority will be enough to swamp the leaders. Mr. Hayes, of California, says he is certain that the bill will never pass the House. He alleges that he has more than twenty-five votes pledged against it already, with the reasonable assurance of a dozen more. The sixteen members who voted in the minority at last night's Republican conference are said to be unalterable in their opposition to the bill, while at least five others were absent when the vote was taken, who, it is said, will also op pose it.

The method for bringing the measure before the House will be decided by the Rules Committee to morrow. Several plans have been suggested, but the one most likely to be adopted is that all but the enacting clause of the Aldrich bill will be stricken out and the Vreeland measure substituted, s0 that it can be immediately thrown into the con ference with the Senate. It is understood that Senator Aldrich and the Finance Committee of the Senate have no great objection to the bill as it now stands, and Speaker Cannon confidently ex pects that it will come from a conference but slightly changed. Mr. Fowler said to-day that he had *a good fight left in him yet,”” while Mr. Prince, another “insurgent,” expressed the hope that if the bill did pass the House the Democrats in the Senate would talk it to death.

AGREES TO REPORT ON NAVAL BILL. House, by Margin of Twelve Votes, Sends Measure to President. Washington, May 12.—After a debate lasting practically the entire sescion, the House to-day, by a vote of 136 to 124, agreed to the conference report on the naval appropriation bill.

The insertion of uz new provisisn relating to in crease in pay for officers and men of the marine corps and navy drew forth a zood deal of criti cism of the conferrees, who were charged with having taken liberties and with having violated the trust reposed in them by the House. As the conferrees reached a complete agreement the bill now goes to the President. At 504 p. mm. the House recessed until 11:30 a. m. to-morrow.

PUBLISHERS' PRINT PAPER CASE IN. Chairman of Committee Thinks Press Slow to Furnish Information.

Washington, May 12.-—The case of the newspaper publishers has been presented to the special com mittee of the louse investigating the wood pulp and print paper question. When the committee ad journed to-day John Morris, the representative of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, announced that he had finished his statement, but he will be on the stand to-morrrow, as members of the committee desire to question him. The next witnesses to be examined will probably be the paper manufacturers.

Mr. Norrris to-day described the formation of the International Paper Company and said that the cost of the manufacture of paper was greater under the consoiidation than under the individual owner ship of the paper mills.

The recuest of the committee for the contract which “The New York Times" has with the paper company wag denied by the company publishing that newspaper. Chairman Mann iook occasion to say that. while the newspapers were insisting on speedy action by Congress on the question un der investigation, most of the large papers were showing a disinclination to furnish the committee with the necessary information upon which to base any just conclusions. This raised the question in his mind, he said, whether the papers were not satisfied with their present contracts.

NEED NOT AWARD TO LOWEST BIDDERS State Printing Board Can Use Discretion, Savs Justice Fitts.

Albany, May 12.—Justice Fitts, of the Supreme Court. in a decision announced to-day, hinlds that the State Printing Board may use its discretion in awarding contracts. The decision has an impor tant hearing on the power of all public boards in vested with discretion in the awarding of public contracts and their right to award them to other than the lowest bidders.

NEW-YORK DAILY. TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908. URGES STEWART TRIAL CALLS CHARGES TRIVIAL. Rayner Reads Letter from President Evplaiming Action. Washington, May 12.—Senator Rayner addressed Salona at roi Uialilt, AirlsUlla. AFR. Ava M2 read a letter from the President giving reasons for the action that had been taken against Colonel Stewart. The President said Colonel Stewart was “impossible” as a commanding officer, mistreating privates under him, quarrelling with civilians, being contentious and incompetent. against Colonel William F. Stewart, U. 8. A, now The President's letter covers nine typewritten pages, and for the most part is a review of Colone’ Stewart's quarrels with officers under him and with citizens in the neighborhood of posts where he has been assigned. His conduct is condemned by the President in the severest language as unfitting him for any command, particularly for the rank of brigadier general, which the President declares to be Stewart's aim. The President calls Stewart “a nuisance.” The letter also deals with legal questions invelved and with the various matters quoted in part by Mr. Rayner in his running com ment upon the communication. Mr. Rayner declared that the charges were triv jal and had never been furnished to the army offi cer, and said the “punishment” which the Presi dent was meting out to him was unparalleled and in defiance of precedents. Mr. Rayner preceded his remarks by declaring that he had no political purpose in his criticism of what the President had done in the case of Colonel Stewart. “The President has made a mis take,” he said, and added that that was the reason he was endeavoring to lay this matter before the Senate. He reviewed the career of Colonel Stewart and pictured the loneliness of Fort Grant, which, he said, was his “place of punishment.” He read the order by which Colonel Stewart received twenty four hours to retire from the army before his as signment to Fort Grant. Saying a communication had been sent to Colonel Stewart informing him that improvements would be made in the sanitary conditions of Fort.Grant, if he desired, Mr. Rayner added, “The same sort of communication passed to Dreyfus, I think.” THINKS CHARGES FRIVOLOUS. “The charges against Colonel Stewart,” sald Mr. Rayner, ‘‘are frivolous and petty and do not in the slightest degree reflect on his character as a man, his honor as a citizen or his courage as a soldier. One of them Is that he had ‘temperamental in firmities.’ “The President has come to the conclusion that Colonel Stewart is a man who wants to have his own way,” sald Mr. Rayner. Colonel Stewart, he said, had his own ideas about his duty, and did not propose to be interfered with in the performance of his duties. “He hus not,” continued Mr. Rayner, with sar casm, ‘the temperament of the President, that fine system of adjustment that always suggests re straint, calmness and moderation. He thinks Colonel] Stewart should yield, as he, the President, has done on similar occasions. It is known that the President never indulges in forcible and ve hement expressions, either in oral or in written communications; that he is {ree from many of the faults of the race, and that he has given us the most serene and placid Presidential epoch we have ever been blessed with.” Mr. Rayner rcad his letter to the President stat ing his purpose to introduce in the Senate a resc lution demanding an inquiry into the Stewart case, and then read the President's reply, interpolating nis own comments on the President's words as he went along. “As President I do not see how a court of in quiry could be of use,” the President said in his letter, “as I do not see how any court should ex press an opinion which IT could pay more. heed to than the judgment of Wade, Grant, Murray, Duval and Davis, on whose judgment I have acted.” Mr. Rayner paused in the reading to declare that with a single exception these -officers named by the President had been promoted over the head of Colonel Stewart to the positions they now occupy. “CHARGES ALREADY ESTABLISHED.” Continuing, he read from the President's letter that the charges against Colonel Stewart already had been established, and he did not see what more a court of inquiry could do. “This,” exclaimed Mr. Rayner, “is the President's interpretation of his constitutional prerogative. It has never been paralleled in the military records of American his tory. TI challenge the production of a case that is a parallel to it.’ Mr. Rayner declared that the President, as Com mander in Chief of the army, was under the con trol of Congress, and had no right to inflict punish ment. Mr. Ravner discussed from a legal point of view precedents for Congress ordering courts of inquiry particularly the cases of Generai Howard and Admiral Schley. Taking up the point as to what constituted courts of inquiry, the Senator said the authorities were all against the President having the slightest right to punish an officer without a court, and no commanding general had such right. He declared that the President was determined to keep Colonel Stewart in exile for three years, when he would be retired on account of age, and, he added: “The President says to him: ‘Stay there or sur render and retire.’ No such edict was ever con templated in the imperial armies of Central Eu rope.” He declared that abroad army officers lose their identity, but in the United States the Con stitution guarantees every man life, liberty and property unless taken from him by due process of law. EXPERT ON COURTS OF INQUIRY. “Now, what ic a court of inquiry?” the Senator asked, and, answering uis own question, said: I know all about them. I had four months’ ex perience with one (referring to the Sculey court, in which he was counsel for Schley). I am sorry to say it was packed, but it was a court.” He spoke of the Dreyfus case, in France, as having been tried before a court even though witnesses against the officer perjured themselves. Mr. Rayner brought out the fact that (olonel Stewart's wife was the cousin of the late Senator Pinkney Whyte, and the great-granddaughter of William Pinkney, of Maryland. The Senator re viewed again the conditions of Colonel Stewart's exile, and said: “It makes my blood boil to fever heat to hear the President announce such an outrage against any man. If the man is guilty, he should be con victed; if innocent,. he should be acquitted; in any event he should be tried.” In an aside the Sena tor said: “And why is he treated in this manner? Because he got into a quarrel with a plumber. Quarrel with a plumber, indeed. How many quar rels do vou suppose the President Kas had with plumbers and everybody else? Suppose the Presi dent should be sent to a place like that for every quarrel he gets into? Why, this man had imitated the President and he is being punished for it. I suppose he had some advice on the subject. The Attorney General may have whispered into the President's ear that he had no right to inflict pun {shment on this officer. Hardly that, though; for the Attorney Generai and all the rest of his ad visers seem to say to the President just what h3 wants them to say.” At this juncture Senator Foraker offered to Sen ator Rayner a letter which Colonzl Stewart had written to the War Department from Fort Grant, asking for permission to come to Washington and appear in his own defense against the hardships constituted courts of inquiry, the Senator said tne authorities were all against the President having the slightest right to punish an officer without a court, and no commanding general had such right. He declared that the President was determined to keep Colonel Stewart in exile for three years, when he would be retired on account of age, and, he added: “The President says to him: ‘Stay there or sur render and retire.’ No such edict was ever con templated in the imperial armies of Central Eu rope.” He declared that abroad army officers lose their identity, bit in the United States the Con stitution guarantees every man life, liberty and property unless taken from him by due process of law.

Mr. Foraker asked Mr. Rayner if he would be willing to read the letter. “If it is in my favor I will read it,” replied Mr. Rayner. Mr. Bailey suggested to Mr. Rayner that he need have no hesitancy in reading anything on that subject caming from the Senator from Ohio. Mr. Ravner failed to grasp the fact that Mr. Bailey re ferred to the relationship between Mr. Foraker and President Roosevelt, and Mr. Bailey was com pelled to explain, saying: “The Se¢nator from Maryland was so absorbed ‘n his subject that he did not perceive that I had reference only to the well known cordial relations which exist between. the Fresident of the United States and the Senator from Ohio.” OBJECTS TO LEVITY ON MATTER. The laugh which greeted this sally awakened Mr, Rayner to the knowledge that the subject was be ing treated with some levity, which he disap proved. He then read Colonel Stewart's letter from Fort Grant, in which the officer declared that for four months he had had ne companionship except that of a caretaker and a leamsier, the former an TRIBUNE.

Taking up the legal questions involved, Mr. Ray ner said: “The President says he is above the law in thia matter. 1 say that he is mistaken, and that he is subject to every law and regulation (Congress can pass.” He proceeded to quote a large number of authorities in support of this conclusicn. draw ing from them the inference that Colonel Stewart was entitled to a trial, even though in the army. Upon the cohclusion of the reading of the Presi dent's letter Mr. Rayner agreed to call his resolu tion up to-morrow for action by the Senate, Mr. Warren indicating that he desired to have it re ferrad to the Committee on Military Affairs. the Senate to-day on his resolution directing the President to order a court of inquiry into charges The Senate to-day passed the postoffice appro priation bill, carrying amounts aggregating £229, 027,367.

BELIEVE YACHT LOST. Chicago Business Man and (Crew of Seven Were on the Valmore. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.

New London, (c¢nn., May 12.—The schooner vacht Valmore, purchased recently by William Hale Thompscn., a real estate broker of Chi cago, which staried for that city on, Monday evening of last week, is believed to have been lost in the gale of last Wednésday and Thurs day. The Valmore's owner ard George R. Pease, a business man and member of the Chicago Yacht Club, were on board with a crew of seven.

Yachtsmen here have great faith in Captain Maynard Fielding, the Valmore's skipper, a com petent cff-shore mariner, but the Valmore, (hey say, was never intended to withstand a storm off the New England Coast

The Valmore's voyage te Chicagr was to have been coverad in seven weeks. From this harbor a course was to have been steered to Scuth Shoals Light hip, Nantucket, to George's Bank, to Halifax, then through the ‘river and gulf to St. Lawrence and across the Great Lakes. The Valmore was built at Lawley’s five years ago, and al! of her sails with the exception of a new tri-sail jib and fore staysail, are re jorted to have been of the same age. “SEGREGATION OF DEFECTIVES.

Rochester, May 12.—The case of the government against the Standard Oil Company. in which ¢he oil company is charged with receiving rebates from railroads, was put on trial this morning at the openirg of the spring term of the federal court, Judge John R. Hazel, of Buffalo, presiding, and S. Wallace Dempsey, special assistant to the United States Attorney General, conducting the case for the government. James MecMitchell, of Buffalo; John G. Milburn, of New York, and the firm of Harris, Havens, Beach Harris, of this city, are looking after the interests of the oil company.

The case is being tried on indicunents found at Jantestown, and arises over shipments of oil made from Olean to Nutland and Beliows Falls, Vt. The company is indicted on fifty-three counts. T. C. N. Schindler, railroad expert of the Bureau of Corpora tions, and G. N. Crosland, tariff expert of the Pub lic Service Commission, are here to testify in the case.

Mr. Dempsey this afternoon withdrew his motion to consolidate the indictments, and gave notice that he would move for trial on indictment No. 470, which is of forty counts. It is understood that counsel have agreed on certain points, which is ex preted to reduce the length of the trial considerably. The trial will be continued to-morrow morning.

Mr. .Ingersoll, with two of his assistants, re ceived the reporters, and answered all questions put to him. «Authority for the change in plans was ob tained,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “from the Board of Aldermen on December 15, 194. The contract had been awarded in 1903 The original plans were prepared under the direction of Mr. Lin denthal, who was then Commissioner. He left the department after the contract was awarded. Commissioner Best, who succeeded him, decided

to increase the traffic capacity of the bridge. This necessitated a change in the plans.” “When was the first materiai for the super structure delivered?” Mr. Ingersoll was asked. “The first of the steel was delivered in Sep tember, 1904, but this material consisted of the lighter parts. The first shipment of the large {carrying members was delivered in March, 1905.

“Were the revised plans prepared before that i time?” “Yes; the revised plans, with the new stresses carefully figured out, were prepared before a pound of steel for the structure was fabricated. It is true the change in plans was authorized only in December, 1904, but the new plans were prepared before that. In the new plans the live load was increased from 12600 pounds a linear foot to 16.000 a linear foot. The dead load was increased from S4.000.0060 pounds to 105.000.0600 pounds. The capacity of the main compression members was inereased by I5 per cept.”

A request for information as to the increase in the size and eapacity of the lower chord brought out the blue prints of tie revised strain sheets, which showed that both the wind and live load stresses had been reduced when com pared with the maximum strain sheets under which the contract for the superstructure was awarded. These revised strain sheets also bore a stamp indicating that they had been received in the department on March 16, 1906.

“What is the highest stress a pound estimated in the main compression members?” Mr. inger soll was asked. 3 “The highest estimated stress in the main compression members in the revised plans is twenty thousand pounds a square inch.” “But did not the Quebec bridge fall at a stress upon the main compression members of eighteen thousand pounds a square inch?” “It makes all the difference in the world how the main compression members are designed. They could be designed to carry safely a stress of forty thousand pounds a square inch. The main compression members of the Blackaell's Island Bridge are so designed as to sustain a stress of twenty thousand pounds or mere.” Great emphasis was laid by (‘hief Engineer Ingersoll upon the fact that nickel steel had been used to some extent in the erection of i the superstructure, and it was carefully ex "plained that ni-ke' sicel was fully 30 per cent stronger than the ordinary carbon steel used in the Quebec bridge. It is well hnown, how ever, that the strength of nickel steel is tensile and that it could not be used to advantage in the lower or compression members of the bridge. Its use was confined exclusively to the tension or upper members, and has no hearing on the guestion whether or nt the nain com pression members beloy are under too great I

a sShuiess.

Gustave Lindenthal, former Bridge Commis sioner, under whose direction the original plans and strain sheets for the Blackwell's Island Bridge were prepared, was seén by a Tribune reporter and asked about the statement made by Bridge Commissioner Stevenson that the plans and specifications of the bridge were evi

i f dently prepared in a hurry. DISAPPROVES THE CHANGES. “It is not true,” said Mr. Lindenthal, “that the plans and specifications for the Blackwell's Island Bridge were prepared in a hurr} The contract provided for the preparation of thes de tail plans or working drawings for the super structure by the contractors under the direction of the Bridge Department, and the cost for this work was covered in the contract price for the worl. The preparation of these detail working plans can always be much better done by the experienced drafting force employed by bridge contractors, always subject, of course, to th: direction and approval of the city’s engineers in the Fridge Department. “Therefore. the entire success of the design depends upon the skill of the city's engineers without the city being put to the expense of employing a large force of draftsmen, which would have to be dismissed when the work of preparing the working drawings was completed. This is the practice approved by jong experi ence and followed in all important bridge work in this country. In other words, the skill and science for the work must be furnished by the purchaser, and the routine work is left to the contractor under the supervision at all times of the city’s engineering staff.

“1 assume full responsibility for the plans o. the Blackwell's [gland Bridge up to the time 1 left the department. With regard to the revised plans I know nothing except what I saw pub lished recently in the engineering papers, but am free to say that I would never have approved either of an increase in the traffic capacity of the bridge or of the increase in the number of trolley tracks over the structure, because consider the increase which has been made a shameful and unnecessary waste of public money.

Ask for Hlustrated Prices List No Agents anywhere. “In the original contract drawings in Plans 4.345 and 4.356 the form of the main compres sion members designed to be used in the Black well’'s Island Bridge are clearly shown. The plan provides for a cross-section consisting of three vertical leaves stiffened up and strength ened by angles and a cover plate on top. The buckle plate flooring was to be riveted to this cover plate. There was ample provision for diaphragms. The bottom angles were to be strongly laced. This form of main compression member could not possibly fall as did the mem ber of the Quebec bridge. It couid safely be ‘subjected to the high unit stresses provided in the origmal specifications accompanying the eontract for the Blackwell's Island Bridge. It would nave been the contractor's business to prepare his working drawings in accordance with the contract plans.” “In what respect do the main compression rrembers actually used in the structure differ in design from those vou planned?” “The main compression members actually used are 481; inches deep instead of 60 inches deep. as provided in the contract drawings. The actual member consists of four leaves without the rigid cover plate on top. and the lacing is in ferior to the lacing used in the Quebec bridge.” “THERE IS GRAVE DANGER.” “Js there any real danger of the main com pression members actually used in the bridg= failing under the estimated stress of twenty thousand pounds a square inch, givem as the maximum by the engineers of the Bridge De partment?” “7 think there is grave danger.” “In what way could it be demonstrated that this real danger does exist?” “The only convincing way in which that could be done would be by an actual test of a model built upon the exact lines of the main compres sion members used for the structure and sub jecting it to a test equal and exceeding the maximum working stress purposed in the com pleted structure. This could be done at com paratively small cost, and the test could be finished inside a month. Then it would bes proved beyond a shadow of a doubt whether the main compression members used were able to take the load purposed to be put upon them when the bridge is completed. “Not only was the work of preparing the orig inal stress sheets for this bridge not hurried, but the calculations ocenpied over ten months and wer> checked over by two independent sets of computers. It is the@%established practice to verifv the computations in sections as the work ing drawings are being prepared and constantly compared with the data used in the computa tions. This is a part of the duty and work of the bridge engineer. It was neglected in the Quebec bridge, and the grave errors in the as sg 1med weights were discovered too late—that j=. when the bridges was already erected and when the error could not he corrected” “Has the same mistake keen made in regard to the Blackwell's Island bridg~?" 2 “I do net know how or why changes ware made in the original design. bur that sort of tinkering with plans contracted for has certainly not improved the design. but, on the contrary, I tear. has produced an unsafe bridge”

BROOKLYN BANK AGAIN BROOKLYN BANK AGAIN A Ee CIR OT 70 OPEN WITH OLD NAME. “1t Least Plan of International Trust Company Scems A ssured. 70 OPEN WITH OLD NAME. “1t Least Plan of International Trust Company Scems Assu red. "The initial steps were taken yesterday to carry out a plan which provides for the immedi ate reopening of the Brooklyn Bank, the pay ment in full of all the depositors of that bank and the depositors of the Brooklyn vranch of the International Trust Company, and the ac quisition of the Brooklyn Bank by the Interna tional Trust Company through purchase by that company of all the stock of the bank. Under this plan the Brooklyn Bank, the oldest bank ing institution in that borough, will be com pletely reorganized, and will reopen with a capi tal stock of $300,000 and approximately $450,000 surplus. A meetirz of stockholders representing $496, O00 of the capital stock issue of $500,000 of the International Trust Company was held yvester day afternoon in the offices of 8. Stanwood Menken, of the law firm of Philbin, Beekman Menken, to discuss the plan which was origi mated by Mr. Menken and is being put through by him. These stockholders voted unanimously to adopt it, and as they own 70 per cent of the stock of the Brooklyn Bank, all that remains to be done now before it goes into effect is to have stockholders representing 30 per cent of the stock of the Brooklyn Bank approve it and vote j1s adoption. A meeting of these stockholders for this purpose will be held in Mr. Menken's office to-morrow. The capital stock of the Brooklyn Bank is $300,000, of which 70 per cent, or $210,000, is owned by the International Trust Company. Under the provisions of the plan the remaining stock of the Brooklyn Bank, amounting to about £906.000, is to be purchased by the trust company on a deferred payment plan. Mr. Menken has already made arrangements for the immediate resumption of business by the Brooklyn Bank under its old name and not under the name of the International Trust Company, by which it went after its supposed merging with that in stitution last September.

The Brooklyn Bank, or the Brooklyn branch of the International Trust Co::pany (the courts have to decide which is the proper name), closed in the early part of the late panic, owing de positors something over $1,800,600. Mr. Menken said yesterday arrangements had been made to borrow a quarter of a million dollars as soon as the resumption plan was adopted. Therefore, upon reopening the Brooklyn Bank would have, he said, the following amounts of cash to begin business and pay depositors with:

May 12. —Seven mine workers were instantly kiiled and more than a dozen injured this afternoon in an explosion in the Mount Lockout colliery of thc Templ> Coal and Iron Company, at Wyoming, near here. The explosion Secured six hundred feet un derground, and eighteen ‘hundred feet from the shaft up which the miners make their exit. John Kosniith, a miner, left a small “gas feeder” burning in the extreme end of a gangway all of last night, which set fire to the timbers and the coal. Early to-day when the fire boss started into the mine to make his rounds he discovered the fire, which was fought all day. A slight explosion occurred this morning, burn ing four men slightly. A second explosion killed seven of the fire fighters and injured the others this afternoon. The shock of the explosion was felt on the surface and a rescue party was formed, and they were sent into the mine at once to get the men out. They worked until 8:30 o'clock to-night before they were able to bring them all to the surface. POLICE OFFICER MAULED. Alleged Assailants Threaten to Use Influence with McAovou. James Connors, doorman at the new West 20th street station, who lives at No. 1%3 Amsterdam avenue, was set upon and brutally beaten last evening in West 157th street when he attempted to separate two youths who were flghting. His al leged assailants, the police say, sre Paul Euell, a plumber, and his son George, an architect. They were arrested by the reserves from the West 152d street station and locked up, the father charged with assault and the son with felonlous assault. (Conners's teeth were broken, two were knocked out of his head and his face was covered with bruises. He was bleeding from the mouth when seen after the assault. After the prisoners were locked up they threat ened, according to the police, to use their influence with ex-Deputy Police Commissioner Thomas F. McAvoy, Tammany leader of the 23d Assembly District, to settle with Connors if he attempted to push the charges against them. He was advised, it is said by some of the officers of the West 152d street station, to drop the complaint. According to the police, Connors was on his way home when he tried to stop two youths, one said to be a younger son of Paul Euell, from fighting in front of the Maybelle apartment house. The police say that Paul and George Euell then rushed from the building and attacked the officer. Connors showed his badge and said he was an officer, but it is alleged that father and son paid no attention to this. Some one telephoned Police Headquarters that a riot was in progress and word was sent to the West 132d sireet station. STIRS KINGS DRUGGISTS. National Association Pamphlet Fa vors Proprietary Medicines. There was a flurry in the Kings County Pharma ceutical Society when a member announced at yes terday afternoon's meeting that the National Asso ciation of Retall Drugsgists had sent from the headquarters in Chicago samples of a booklet for distribution among th: physicians of New York City which opposes in several important particulars the views of the Brooklyn society. The chief ob jection to it is that it prefers a number of propri etary medicines to preparations described in the T'nited States Pharmacopceia and National For mulary. For several years the druggists of Brooklvr— as in all other parts of New York City nave been doing their best to down the proprietary medicines. The society has been distributing litera ture among the physicians, setting forth the ad vantages which they would derive in prescribing the standard formulas Instead of the secretly made preparations of the patent medicine concerns.

The booklets were sent on with the idea of inter esting the druggists in them, so that they would crder copies for distribution among their medical patrons. There is no belief that the National So ciety has undertaken a campaign to counteract the effects of the propaganda of the local drug gists. As the Kings County organization has no direct connection with the national organization, a resolution was passed instructing Secretary A. I. Hegeman to write the Metropolitan Assoclation of Retail Druggists to use its influence as a mem ber of the national association to prevent the dis tribution of the booklet In New York City, or at any rate in Brooklyn.

Baltimore, Mav 12.—An important mema=" which went to the committee on episcopacy at the session of the Methodist Episcopal Conference to day, proposed that hereafter an election to the office of bishop shall be for a term of twelve years only without re-election. The memorial, which was in the form of a resolution, was presented bY Dr. E. A. Schell, and was as follows. 3 'g he episcopacy am the Merea ay duis hin 3 bi pr have be gotten such a multiplicity of candidates for the position as threatens the consecration and unity of our ministerial ranks; and Whereas, The long continued occupancy of the office seems out of harmony with the spirit of the jtinerancy, and the salary paid the retired seems to be regarded as a estate earned rather than a 05 bo a SIR Sf Bishop is an office in the Church, and not an order, and the occupancy of the office is plainly detached service; therefore Resolved, That hereafter an election to the office of Bishop shall be for a term of twelve years only, without re-election, and that after the completion of tha term he shall become an effective member of the conference from which he was electd. Another resolution asked bishops presiding over annual conferences to prepare an address to be read to all local churches, and to be printed in all official papers on December 15. A resolution by Dr. Coker directed that the journal! of the General Conference be sent to Methodist Eplscopal colleges, theological and edu cational institutions and to Congressional, state and public libraries. Communications wera received from several American Methodist bodies proposing an ecumen ical conference to be held on October 19, 1811, and requesting that a committee of fifteen be appoint ed to provide for the same. A third scumenical missionary conference was also proposed to be held at Edinburgh, Scotland, in June, 1910, for churches of the United States and Canada. Resolutions on tithing requested the committee to devise a plan for tithing to be presented to the church, to become part of its economy, and that an agent be appointed or other means of pres entation be provided. Dr. Boyle presented a resolution affecting state ments in committees derogatory to the bishops or members of the conférence, requesting that thelr attention be called to it, with an opportunity for an explanation or a retraction before the committees. Dr. G. G. logan, a negro minister, offered a resolution calling for a commission to confer with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Afri can Zion Methodist Episcopal Chureh and the Col ored Methodist Episcopal Church for purposes of improved aggressive work and federation of all the negro churches. A committee of fourteen was appointed to investi gate the condition and needs of churches in San Francisco. Dr. Wilson, father of Bishop Wilson and great grandson of the first convert to Methodism in Marvland, and Dr. A. B. Kendig, for fifty-seven vears a minister, were invited to the platform. Bishop Hartzell read his report on Africa, an 'nouncing a gift of 350,000 for new work in Algfers. The report asked for $300,000 for Africa's jubilee for aggressive work. i The press representatives at the conference, through John A. Patten, of Chattanooga, to-day presented Bishop Berry with a bouquet of fifty-two roses, the occasion being the Bishop's fifty-second birthday. With the backing of Governor Hoch of Kansas, Senator Deolliver, of Iowa, and prominent ministers and laymen of the church, the Rev. Dr. W. M, Batch, pastor of Trinity Church, of Lincoln, Neb., is leading a movement to put the Methodist Epis copal Church closer te the laboring men, particu larly those in labor unions.

“The Church should make a direct bid for the laboring men's support,” he said to-day, “and should try to meet and conquer any hostile feeling toward the Church that any laboring men may feel.” Ad Dr. Batch says that his committee will recom mend the creation of a department of labor. He has been working out the details with a special committee, which is composed of Lieutenant Gov ernor Isaac T. Parker, of Wilmington: the Rev. Dr. G. B. Eckman, of New York: the Rev. William T.

Civic and Real Estate Bodies to Send Delegation to Albany. It was decided at a meeting of representatives of civic and real estate bodies of this cify In rhe of fices of the Allied Real Estate Inferests of New York, No. 185 Broadway, yesterday to go to Albany on Friday In the interest of the amendment fo the Elsberg act concerning the construction of transit facilities. The bill will coma before tie Governor for action in the afternoon lie meeting was unanimously in favor of the amendment, which in effect gives private capital the right to acquire franchises for subway and other transit facilities, reserving to the city the power to acquire the rights within fifty years. It also provides that pri vate interests may lease lines constructed by the city for thirty-five years instead of twenty as provided in the original act. When T. B. Ackerson, of the Manufacturers’ As sociation of New York, attempted to get the meet ing to indorse the bill providing for the purchase by the city of the Steinway tunnel theres was im mediate revoit. Mr. Ackerson said that he believed the Steinway purchase was something the inter ests represented at the meeting should favor at the same time as the amendment, but tha differ ence of opinion was almost as one against him. Ex-Senater George W. Brush, the president of the Brooklyn League, was elected chairman of tha meeting, which was named the Transit Conferencs ef 1908. G. Richard Davis was chosen secretary. NEW SUBWAYS WON'T PAY So Says McDonald of ith and Broad wau-Lexincton Avenue Routes. In again expressing his earnestness in forward ing the construction of subways, Controller Meta made public yesterday a letter from John B Me Donald, the contractor for the existing subway. Mr. McDonald is enthusiastic about neither the proposed Fourth avenue routs in Broekiyn nor the Broadway-Lexington avenue route in Manhattan and The Bronx, which have the approval of the Public Service Commission. The Controller says he is working for subways, and that's why he asked Mr. McDonald's opinion as to his views.

The contractor thinks the building of the routes proposed would cost so much they would not Ds able to carry enough passengers to meet the fixed charges. He thinks it would afford much better relief and be far mere practicable for the city to make extensions of the present subway on the East Stde north from 42d street, via Lexington ave nue, Southern Beulevard and Westchester avenus to Pelham Bay Park, thus giving a through line from Pelham Bay Park to the Battery, and on the West Side south from Broadway and &th street through Seventh avenue, Greenwich street and West Broadway, with a terminal under Battery Park. With the constructoin of a short line througl Canal street, connecting with the Brook!ynMan hattan loop, a direct line to the new Pennsylvania, station, he points out, would be afforded to Brook lynites. His objection to the Fourth avenue (Brooklyn) route is that it runs through a too sparsely popu~ lated territory. Ia any case he believes that two tracks will be enough, and that the city could do much better by having another two-track subway in Bedford and Lafayette avenues to Williamsburg Bridge. This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing in Room 3% of The Tribune Building, to receive suggestions as to the location and style of the stations on the proposed Broadway-Lexington avenus subwar.

Possibly there are readers who will more comfertable on having Professor gorne’'s word for it that the development of the plot of 2 novel consists in “the tracing of a sin gle series of events from their causes through their various interactions to their consequences —perhaps we should not be far astray if we said me tracing of trivial and unrecognized causes their infinita and inevitable results.” The to

ger who will allow this to sink in may per hans come 10 feel that his mental processes have heen strengthened. Nevertheless, we are not ab plutelv certain that he will rise from “mere instinctive admiration™ to a higher plane of lit rary enjoyment by following Professor Horne's dee and considering “the novel as a set of tens.” If he wants to make the effort here is he professor's recipe. rit pe?

W. Grey, writing on the race question in that Canadian periodical, “The University Magazine,” has something interesting to say concerning the civilization of English speaking Canada. “Our Canadian civilization,” he de clares, “influenced largely, and in a great meas ure unconsciously, by the presence in our midst of the descendants of seventeenth century French colonists, and still more appreciably by our proximity to the United States, is ceasing, if it has not already ceased, to be ‘Anglo-Saxon’ in any sense in which that epithet can justly be applied: It is departing just as surely, if not so rapidly, as that of our neighbors to the south—wisely or unwisely, for better or for worse—from its British original, and it is enly the presence of the French €lement, strongly attached to the older European ideals, which has retarded, and must continue to retard, the process of development into a new world; that is, into a definitely American civiliza tion. To say so much as this is not, however, to admit that, as a recent visitor appears to fear, such a development must Involve a practical aliena tion from a distant centre of empire, and as similation with, if not into, that of our ‘cousins across the line—which God forefend! But it does mean that, being transplanted to a new soil, and placed in a wholly new environment, it must, if it is to live and grow, develop on lines and under forms widely differing, outwardly, if not essen tially, from those of the parent stem. ¥rench Quebec has come to be the last stronghold on this continent of ideals and traditions, social and, more especially, educational, which are essentially noc iess British than French, no less Protestant than they are Catholic; the traditions and ideals of the churchmen of Virgiria, of Puritan New England. Essentially, since in their ultimate terms_ they may be defined as adherence te two main prin ciples; first, that “the fear of the Lord is the be ginning of wisdom’; and, secondly, that any sys tem which attempts to resolve the child's nature into its component elements, spiritual, mental and physical, and neglects the first and most vitally important of the three, is in no true sense educa tion. Mr. Richard Harding Davis's new story, “Vera the Medium,” will be brought out in book form in June. It is to be supposed that it holds a surprise—at least this is hinted in the foreshad owed “climax of the final séance.” Shakespeare's birthday was celebrated at Stratford this wear in the midst of a mixture of rain and snow. The ceremonies began with the playing of the national anthems of many lands Ly the town band. Then the British na tional anthem was sung by the Stratford school children, done up in mufflers. Then, to a royal fanfare of bugles a score of flags, presented by the nations there represented, were flung to the raw breeze. An address was given at the church, and wreaths were laid upon the poet's tomb. The usual performance was given at the theatre in the evening. “A Midsummer Night's Dream’ was the play. The Shakespeare memorial committee has finally decided to arrange immediately for a competition for a design of an architectural monument, including a statue, to be erected by 1816, the tercentenary of the poet's death. “Whatever sum,” says the committee, “may be subscribed over and above the amount required for the monument will be applied to purposes best calculated te promote the dramatic pres entation and literary appreciation of Shake speare’s work.” The committee adds: We need not reproduce here all the arguments for or against a national theatre as the primary form of the proposed Shakespeare memorial. These arguments were fully considered by the special committee, It may, however, be convenient to state that those who were responsible for the de cision arrived at were largely influenced by the fact that, cussion for many years, no workable scheme for a national theatre in the ordinary sense of the term had been accepted by those able to appreciate the difficulties of the problem. The late Sir Henry Irving estimated that a capital of £1,000,000 would be necessary. The proposal for a national be fraught with so many that the originators of the Shakespeare memorial movement, who had set first among their aims a permanent memorial to serve as the token of a world-wide homage to Shakespeare, came to the unanimous decision that the memorial should be an architectural and symbolical monument, At the same time, in the special committee's report, the idea of a Shakespeare theatre, ‘for the further. ance of dramatic art and literature,” was singled out from the various proposals for further consid eration, as a possible subsidiary project, if the hakespeare Memorial Fund permitted. theatre appeared to Tris plan seems to us unwise—a single me merial upon which efforts may be concentrated would seem most interesting to the general con tributor.

HE ENEW VI'LETS Small Boy at Flower Show Proudly Points to Lilacs. The children of Public School 15, at No. 327 East 4th street, are having a great time to-day looking at what they call “roses and daisies.” The regular spring flower show of the Public Education Assoclation, the National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild and the natural science committee of Nor mal College is being held in the playgrounds of Public School 15 this year. The varieties shown are many, but to most East Side children all flowers are either “roses” or “daisies.” There is one small boy at Public School 15 whose flower vocabulary is larger. While the exhibit was being arranged he led Miss Margaret Knox, the principal, to a big bunch of lilacs. “I know what they are,” he said proudly. “They're vi'lets.” Before the exhibit is ended the children will be better acquainted with tiie flowers and plants. All through to-day and to-morrow the thirty-two hun dred boys and girls of that big school will be going down in relays to see the exhibit and hear some thing about the different plants from the teachers in charge. The exhibit of trees, or rather of branches of trees, is especially complete. There are over thirty varieties, all gathered in this locality. There is the lovely dull red of the copper beech and there are the white maple, the silver maple— more kinds, in fact, than most older people know. One table holds great masses of violets, anemones and bluets-all the dainty spring wild flowers. An other table holds ferns and mosses. Besides these, there is a collection of magnificent hothouse flow ers from the Constable gardens in Mamaroneck. One of these, a feathery pink blossom called the spirea, is said to be a new variety, shown for the first time this year. i How precious these flowers are to the children was shown by one little boy who came to Miss Knox with two flowers, one a single apple blos som and one a small bit of a bunch of lilacs. “I found 'em on the floor,” he said. ‘Please, may I keep em?” This is the twenty-third public school flower show. There is always a spring show, there is an autumn show, and in midwinter there is an ex hibit of evergreens, hollies, deserted bird's nests— everything in the way of nature material to be found at that season. The present show will last two days. For several weeks those in charge of the plan have been preparing for it, writing to friends in the country and asking for contributions. Mrs. Alice Northrup, of the nature material com mittes of the Public Education Association, is in charge of the details of the show.

TO PESTER CANDIDATES. Plans of Self-Supporting Women for Fall Election. The Equality League of Self-Supporting Women opened headquarters on the thirteenth floor of the Reliance Building, No. 32 Union Square, yesterday, and is preparing to make life miserable for every man who tries to get himself elected to the Senate or Assembly this fall. Each district will be organ ized under a captain, and it will be the duty of each captain to harass the candidates in her dis trict. A list of questions to be propounded to these unfortunate men is being prepared, the chief of which will be: Would you, if elected, vote for the submission of the question of woman suffrage to the people? The captain will also see that any in fluential men in the district who favor woman suf frage bring pressure to bear upon the candidates.

In this part of the work the assistance of the trade unions is counted upon, and they will be asked to affiliate with the league, as some have already done, and send delegates to its executive council. Almost every night some union is visited with that end in view. “Qur reception by the unions is quite plctur esque,”” said Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, presi dent of the Equality League, when seen at head quarters yesterday. “They send out a marshal to receive us. Then the men rise and remove their hats as we enter and remain standing till we are seated. When we leave they rise again. The other night at the printers’ union we were kept waiting in the anteroom while they aired out, as they said the air was too thick for us to breathe. Then as we went down the corridor afterward we were foi lowed by a chorus of striking matches.” While this work is going on in the city the state will not be neglected. In July those members of the league who have their vacations at that time will charter a canalboat and combine business with pleasure. Starting from Albany, they will go through the Erie Canal, with the yellow banner flying, and proclaim the gospel of woman suffrage along the way. Previous to this there is to be a trolley car expedition in connection with the cele bration of the sixtieth anniversary c¢f the first woman's rights convention at Seneca Falls. An interesting feature of the trolley car expedition is that its reception in Halvey, a manufacturing cen tre near Syracuse, is being organized by Mrs. Fred erick Hazard, cousin-in-law of Mrs. Barclay Haz ard, the well known anti-suffrage leader.

The city headquarters will be open every day from 10 until 3 o'clock and on Saturday evenings until after the election. EASTERN ART TEACHERS. The annual meeting of the Eastern Art Teachers’ Association will be held in New York City cn Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Denman Ross will give the opening address at 4 o'clock ¢n Thursday, and in the evening there will be an ad dress on “Art as a Public Necessity,” by Hamil ton Wright Mabie. In connection with this meet ing there will be an exhibition of drawing and art teaching, the material having been collected from the elementary and secondary schools throughcut the United States, and is destined for the third international congress for the advancement cof drawing and art teaching to be held in London the first week in August. The Prince «f Wales is the patron of this congress, and many govern ments and organizations have appointed delegates to it. Arrangements have been made whereby delegates can obtain tickets to London at reduced rates, and several parties are being organized for European trips that will include the congress. GIRLS ATHLETIC LEAGUE. The girls’ branch of the Public Schools Athletic League had an interclass athletic meet yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium of Stuyvesant High School, East 15th street and Second avenue. Three schools were represented—Public Schools 13, 15 and 104, In all the exercises the girls were mixed, however, so that at no time was it a contest be tween schools.

There were an exciting ‘‘ball throw,” a ‘‘pass ball,” a ‘shuttle relay,” a ‘potato relay” and an “all up” relay, in each of which three classes took part. The dancing was done by schools. Forty girls in white dresses, with red bands across their shoulders, danced a Hungarian dance, the “Czardas.” Twenty girls, in sensible blue bloomers, danced the “Highland Flihg.” Then all three classes joined in the Swedish “Oxdons.” Among those present were Mrs. James Speyer, Mrs. Egerton IL. Winthrep, Miss Catharine 8. Leverich and Mrs. Luther H. Gulick. directors of the girls’ branch; General George W. Wingate, president of the league; Miss Wingate and Dr. Gulick, secretary of the league. Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, inspector of athletics, led the games. In the contests the girls, as divided, were distin guished by colors—red, white and blue—and the score stood 2 for the white, 18 for the blue and 18 for the red. RECEPTION TO MRS. STORY.

Has Unique Distinction in T+< Rossini Club. Almost forty years old is the Rossini Club, of Portland, Me, pioneer among organizations of amateur women musicians. The first meeting dates back to 1869, and the club was incorporated Febru ary 18, 1870. As to the choice of name it was found that “Rossini” and “St. Cecilia” were the two names mest in favor, put as St. Cecilia was thought to be the patroness of sacred music only the ultimate decision was for Rossini. The club led a quiet, growthful existence, quite unaware of its seniority among such organiza tions until at the Chicago exposition, in 18093, Mrs. Theodore Thomas established the fact while mak ing arrangements for the convention of women's amateur musical clubs. After the visit of dele gates to this convention the modern ideas there received brought about changes in the Rossini Club arrangements—changes which, continued from time to time, have kept the club a thoroughly alert, up to-date body of women. The club meets regularly throughout the season—-and winters are jong in Maine—for a Thursday morning one-hour concert programme, given by club members. There are al ways invited guests at these concerts, which form a distinctive feature in the social life of this wideawake city. Associate and student members also are admitted yearly to membership; the defi nite attitude of the club in fostering music culti vation is aptly expressed in a recent address of its lifelong president, Mrs. Emily Kelley Rand, who said: “If we would lift the world upward and on ward it must be by encouragement rather than hy eriticism.”™”

In effect it pro vides for the issue in an emergency of the famil far Clearing House certificates in the form of banknotes. The amendments agreed upon have safeguarded the formation of the proposed clearing house associations in important partic ulars. They must be made up of banks in a contiguous territory. Not more than one can be formed in a single city, and no bank can be long to more than one clearing house. The main effect of these changes will be to make it im possible for a “chain of banks” under a single ownership to form a clearing house for the pur pose of taking out circulation. One important amendment which The Tribune advocated we are glad to see embodied in the bill-——mamely, the requirement that the banks maintain reserve against their notes. Appar ently—for the summary is not specific on this peint—the reserve required against the notes is the same ss the reserve required against de posits, this is as it should be. A bank's note is 2a promise to pay on demand just exactly as a depositor’s passbook is, except that one is enr rent and the other is personal. They are de mand iiabilities on exactly the same footing, and sound banking requires a reserve against each. This principle has been wisely recog nized. A defect in the bil! which ought to be cor rected when it comes up for passage either in the House or the Senate is the failure to pro vide redemption facilities. Why this has not been done is not clear, inasmuch as the clearing houses to be created under the bill could natu rally and properly serve as the redemption agencies. Circumstances might easily arise un der which the burden upon the Treasury of re deeming a $300,000) issue of banknotes would be full of embarrassment and possibly of danger. If the Treasury were ever again in as weak a condition as it was in after the panic of 1893 the redeeming of a SHKLOKHN issue forced in by a high tax in a period when inter est rates were falling rapidly might be fraught with peril, and the emergency issue, instead of warding off panic, might magnify it. These msoposed notes are banknotes, and it is the

The facts published in The Tribune yesterday morning concerning the large increase in weight put upon the Blackwell's Island bridge, as orig inally contracted for, by the provision for addi tional tracks, followed by the admission of the Bridge Department that the main compression members will have to sustain a stress of twenty thousand pounds to the square inch, whereas the Quebec bridge collapsed under the strain of only eighteen thousand pounds to the square inch, show the necessity for an impartial expert re view of the plans and a test of the structure. The city officials naturally laugh at the idea. Of course, the bridge Is safe! No one expects them to admit that they have buiit a bridge that is unsafe: nor, indeed, is it to be supposed for a minute that they would bulld oue if they knew it. They can and will undoubtedly give profuse assurances that they have made all necessary expert calculations, and that the changes from the original contract have only added to the safety of the bridge. We do them the justice to say that they belleve this. Pos sibly they are right, though competent engineers who have studied the figures of stresses which they rely on have assured us that the structure departs widely from the best and most conser vative practice. But such is human nature that officials who make calculations on their own work are not easily able to see mistakes in these calculations, if mistakes exist.” Therefore, the obviously proper way to settle this question is to seek the advice of entirely disinterested men who will look at the problem from another point of view. It is far better to have a commission of experts such as investigated the Quebec bridge before a disaster than to wait until after a possible disaster in a spirit of official pride and self-satisfaction. In view of the report of the experts on the Quebec disaster, that the unit stresses of that bridge were not so great as those adopted by the Bridge Department of the city of New York, though that bridge fell down with only threa. fourths of its calculated weight, there is cer tainly good ground for an independent review of the plans, especlally as the Bridge Depart ment's present calculations to show safety are based on a large reduction in the estimates for live load made by the original designers under Mr. Lindenthal, and this in the face of a pro vision for largely increased carrying capacity. Certainly such an Independent study of the plans can do no harm. The Tribune has not taken up this subject in any wanton spirit for the purpose of making a newspaper sensation. It has given careful consideration to the fac's in its possession in consultation with able engi neers. If impartial experts can give assurances that no mistake has been made, the city will ba fortunate and the travelling public will feel easy. If, on the other hand, a mistake has been made, it should be discovered before it is too Inte THE TWO-THIRDS AND UNIT RULES. Signs are multiplying that the Democratic voters and the more intelligent Democratic lead ers are weary of submitting to the tyranny of the two-thirds and unit rules. The Republican party rid itself of those obstructive bonds in 1876. The Democratic party is usually a gener ation behind its more progressive rival in polit ical ideas and practice, and it is now about time for the disciples of Jefferson to wake up to the fart that the two-thirds rnle and the unit rule are a scandalous travesty of Jeffersonian princi ples of individual free agency and majority gov ernment. Mr. Rryan in a speech in Brooklyn last year on the anniversary of Jefferson's birth declared that modern Democrats might differ on sixty-seven or more other issues and still be rec ognized one and all as Democrats, but that the Democrat who disputed the principle of majority rule must he forthwith snd forever excommuni cated. Naturally the Nebraska leader looks with little favor on contrivances like the two-thirds and unit rales, which were devised for the ex press purpose of defeating a fair expression of party opinion and of limiting the power of a majority in Democratic national conventions. There are, of course, Democrats who are al wars ready to sacrifice Jeffersonian principle to personsl or sectional interest. In “The Wash ington Post” of Momday the Hon. John Sharp Williams is reported as answering, when asked if he favored the abolition of the two-thirds rule: “Of course not. Jt was established to protect the South.” This answer has the merit of entire frankness. The two-thirds rule was established in 1844 to clinch the hold of the Southern minority on the Democratic party of that day. It was a species of veto on majority rule granted to the South in violation of Demo cratic principle, and Mr. Williams is still sec tionalist enough to want to hold on to an illog ical special privilege. We notice, however, that there are other Democratic Representatives who are desectionalized sufficiently to see that no minority element in the party ought to enjoy exemption from the fundamental rule of demo cratic government. Representatives David A. De Armond, of Missouri; John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, and Robert IL. Henry, Morris Shep pard and H. B. Cooper, of Texas, are quoted in “The Post” as favoring a return to purer de mocracy in convention methods, and there can be no doubt that the more progressive Demo cratic leaders, even at the South, realize that the Democratic party cannot afford much longer to maintain convention ordinances which seek to frustrate a legitimate expression of the will of the majority. As for the unit rule, the Massachusetts con vention last week expressly declined to enforce it on the national delegates chosen by thie voters in the Congress districts. In Pennsylvania com plications have arisen from the fact that the Congress districts, acting as units under the state primary law, elected delegates to Denver 1t the same time that they elected delegates to the state convention. The claim is now set up hy many district delegates that the state cou vention has no power to control their action ither by instructing them or by directing them 0 submit to the unit rule. Says a well known Democratic leader in Philadelphia, Mr. John 1H. Cow. who was elected as a district delegate, re lving to an inquiry addressed to him by “The Philadelphia Record”: Under the law no unit rule adopted by an or ranization can govern the actions of a delegate 0 a national convention, elected at an election 1eld under the laws of the commonwealth. He tands in the same position exactly as any mem yer of the Legislature, and is only governed by he rules of the convention to which he is lected as a member, Other delegates-elect In Pennsylvania have vritten in the same strain. This comes from Ir. A. V. Dively, delegate-elect from the 19th pistrict I belleve that the unit rule is a bad rule. 1 elieve that the delegates ought to vote the sen iments of the people of the various districts nat sent them. In so far as the delegatesat arge are concerned, of course the state conven ion might instruct them, but as to the state onvention instructing the district delegates, or dopting the unit rule by any instructions or esolutions that it may pass, I assume it will ave no effect and will not bind the Congres jonal delegates, From Mr. Dewitt C. Dewitt, of the 14th Dis rict I contend the state conveation has no power yp instruct delegates it does not make. 1 am pposed to the unit rule. It is not Democratio, the unit rule is to be carried out I would sug est that but one delegate be sent from this late 10 the Denver convention. From Mr. C. H. Gregg, of the 22d District I favor an instructed delegation to the Denver onvention in so far as the state convention able to give those instructions. In other ords, 1 mean to say that since the passage of ie act of Assembly of 1806, which is com only known as the uniform primary law, the 3 NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908. state convention can instruct only those dele gates which are elected by the convention; the state convention has no control, for instance, over me, for the reason that my constituents of the 22d Congress District have Instructed me how to vote con the question of Mr. Bryan's can didacy. From Mr. John M. Garman, of the 11th Dis triet: In my judgment, the state convention cannot impose the unit rule, because that convention has no power over the district delegates, not even of ratification of their election. The pri mary election laws of 1906 have been accepted by the Democrats, and the power of the state convention has by those laws been completely overthrown. These letters give evidence of a notable reac tion against the unit rule in a state where that rule has been constantly invoked to give the ma chine managers control of its vote in Democratic national conventions. They indicate the growth of a sentiment which can hardly fall to upset the oid Democratic system of concentrated power and close-corporation government, The election of Mr. William C. Wallace to succeed the late Senator Franchot is a personal triumph for Governor Hughes. Before the Gov ernor made his two days’ campaign of the dis trict a Republican defeat was generally ex pected, but he turned defeat into victory. 1lis brief excursion through the district was prac tically all there was to the campaign, for the Republican organizations of the two counties were inactive, leaving to the Governor himself the burden of electing his supporter. Under the adverse conditions that prevailed the Republican success is remarkable. The district is normally very close, Senator Franchot in a Republican year carrying it by only 750. while Governor Hughes himself had only a plurality of 382 in the counties composing it, Niagara and Orleans.

At this season of the year it is ditficult to get out the Republican strength in the agricultural districts, while the chief towns, where probably a fairly full vote was polled, are strongly Demo cratic. The Republican party in the district is, moreover, badly disorganized by factionalism. A Republican victory, therefore, under these elrenmstances is a demonstration of the hold the Governor Fas upon the people of the state. His visit to the district unified the Republican voters so that they forgot the quarrels of the bosses and would-be bosses In their desire to stand by the Governor. Although it is notoriously dif ficult to stir up interest in a special election with only one office to fill, the voters turned out, as the returns show, in respectable numbers, and although the dispatches say that the vote in the farming regions was very light this circum stance must have been offset by the determina tion of the independent voters in the towns to send a Hughes man to Albany. The citizens of this district had little or no direct personal in terest in the anti-gambling issue. Their only interest in the campaign was a desire to see the Governor's policies triumphant. The election of Mr. Wallace gives the Gov ernor another supporter in the Senate, but un the face of the figures does not alter the pros pects for the passage of the anti-gambling hills. The vote on the measures stood 25 to 25, but the serious illness of Senator Foelker, one of the Governor's supporters, apparently leaves the division still 25 to 25. The moral effect of the victory, however, as a clear demonstration of the Governor's hold upon the people, cannot fail to strengthen his hand. Nor can he himself fail to be impressed with this new evidence of the people's confidence in him and their desire that he should continue in the public service until he is able to carry out his policies. There seems to be a defect in the Jogic of Mr. John B. McDonald's letter demonstrating that subways will not pay, which Controlier Metz puts forth by the way of proving his constant protestation that subway building has no better friend or more enthusiastic ad vocate than himself. Mr. McDonald writes: The Broadway-Lexington avenue line, as planned, will cost for construction, equipment and easements over $127,000,000, and the Fourth avenue-Bensonhurst line, in Brooklyn, more than $44,000,000. These large amounts will be greatly increased if the method of construction and appropriation by sections is adopted. At this enormous cost the lines would not be able to carry enough passengers under any condi tions to meet their fixed charges, and would be come a heavy burden on the city. It us leave the Brooklyn line out of con sideration. The ,Broadway-Lexington avenue jine, then, extending from Pelham Bay Park to the Battery, will cost at least $127,000.,000, and it will be impossible for it to carry pas sengers enough to earn dividends. Mr. Me Donald continues: How much better it would be for the city, rather than involve itself in these huge and ex travagant undertakings, to take a reasonable view of the financial and other conditions con fronting it_ and, so far as Manhattan and The Bronx are concerned, build extensions to its present subway? For the East Side ex tension should be made from 42d street, via Lexington avenue, Southern Boulevard, West chester avenue to Pelham Bay Park. This will give a through line from Pelham Bay Park to the Battery, with Increased facilities at the Grand Central Station. For the West Side extension should be made from Broadway and 46th street south through Seventh avenue, Greenwich street, West Broadway to a terminal under Battery Park. In other words, Mr. McDonald would build the Broadway-Lexington avenue line ghove 421 street, aud below 42d street another line parallel to the proposed Broadway-Lexington avenue route and exactly as long. He sug gests, Instead of the route which could not pay, two sections the greater part of which would correspond exactly with the condemned route and which together would be exactly as long and apparently cost just as much. Why would the routes be profitable which would give two subways to the company which enjoys Mr. McDonald's services, while the other route would be unprofitable? “3S PARLIAMENT IN RUSNSSNIA®Y Comparatively little has recently been heard of the Russian Douma and its doings, or had been until the other day. when attention was called to it by the iusult ,of the Minister of Finance and the not altogether creditable con troversy which ensued. But the Douma is not, therefore, to be accounted a failure. On the contrary, this lack of sensational exploit ation may be regarded as evidence that the Russian parliament has “found itself” and is steadily pursuing a useful course in a busi nesslike manner. It IS less revolutionary and pugnacious than {ts predecessors, but it is more practical and efficlent. It Is a legislative rather than a revolutionary body, and In spite of the bitter animosity which 18 still directed against it Is winnlng general recognition as such. A noteworthy demonstration of its impor tant status was seen not long age in the pains which Mr. Isvolsky took to explain and jus tify. to it his scheme for reforms in Mace donia. If there Is any department of govern mental activity which European ministers consider themselves empowered to conduct without consulting parliament it is that of foreign affairs, and especially such affairs as concerted action of the powers for interven tion in the control of some other state. Yet the Russian Foreign Minister consulted the Douma on every detail of his Macedonian scheme as though he felt constrained to secure its ratification before proceeding to negotia tions with other c¢hancelleries. Again, the government laid before the Douma its plans for completing the Transsiberian railroad on all Russian ground, and sought its sanction for them. And now the Douma purposes to find out how the government built and is manag ing existing railroads before it proceeds with this tremendous new undertaking, and for that THE GOVERNOR'S VICTORY. MR MDONALD'S OPINION. TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908. purpose has appointed an investigating com mittee to look searchingly into the whole rail road administration of the empire. In the face of such facts Mr. Kokovsoff's thanks to God that there is not yet a parliament in Russia recoil upon and stultify himself, and Mr. Stolypin's faint-hearted deprecation of the Douma’s righteous resentment of the insult is a confession of his own weakness rather than a condemnation of the Douma or a vindication of his colleague. Mr. Khomyakoff and the Douma could well afford to be magnanimous, though an inevitable tinge of contempt doubtless marked their condescension in forgiving the offending minister, who is now reported to have confessed that he was in error. For the Douma is, in fact, a parliament, and the remains of the au toeracy cannot get rid of the fact. It was said when the Czar first yielded to the popular de mand for a constiiution that though progress wight be slow things could never again be as they had been. That saying is verified. Prog ress Is slow, but it is sure, and try as hard as they may, the reactionaries can never restore the old order of things. There is at last a parliament in Russia. There will be an extracrdinary meeting of the committee on public health to consider matters of great public interest on July 1.—Senator Cassidy. There will be a regular meeting of the com mittee on political health to consider matters of great personal interest to the Senator on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem har Oklahoma still leads in progressive statesman ship. After turning the State University over to the highminded politicians, the Legislature now undertakes to educate the impious negroes in the village of Taft by teaching them good manners before the three R's. A negro insti tute was to have been founded at Taft by the ald of a state appropriation. But, as some wicked blacks threw stones at a train full of Democratic Solons just to vent their feelings on the “Jim Crow” law, these Solons persuaded their brethren at Guthrie to let the Taft Insti tute go begging. OCklahoma is not going to lose sight of the principle that manners make the —peie. man. “Sweet are the uses of adversity.” The Hon. “Pat” McCarren has now become an antf{-unit rule reformer.

Tammany contemplates selling the historic 14th street hall and finding quart-rs in another section of the city. We fear, however, that the migration will be only another case of ceelum, non anfmum, mutant. The ideas regarding a national sanatorium for consumptives expressed by Frank J. Brand at the Richmond Conference of Charities and Cor rection last week are not without merit. Many persons go from one state to another in the hope that a change of climate may relieve them while in the early stages of tubercuiosis, and with the further expectation of securing light employ ment until their return home. For their main tenance in case of disappointment the authori tiles in the place of their temporary residence should not be held responsible. On the other hand, provision for such persons, no matter how deserving they may be, is not a legitimate func tion of the national government. If, however, an institution for their benafit could be estab lished by private subscription or endowment, all objections would be obviated and a beneficent ge sorvice would he performed.

That they would make their cus toms conform with modern ideas and observe Sun day instead of Saturday as the Sabbath.

These are now in ‘the United States. Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambassador, pre sided at the luncheon. He proposed the healths of King Edward and President Roosevelt in a felicitous speech, and read a telegram from W. Butler Duncan, president of the New York Pll grims. When Mr. Reid proposed the health of Mr. Abbey the guests gave three cheers and sang “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” Introducing Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema, the English artist, Mr. Reid said: “No praise for a great artist can be so good as praise from another great artist.” Sir Laurence spoke of Mr. Abbey as a man who had been one of the foremost illustrators of his time, who had founded a school and who had con tinued in the same way as a painter. Mr. Abbey delivered a modest and humorous address, in which he described some of his experiences when he came te England thirty years ago.

USHER OF THE WHITE ROD OF SCOTLAND. The office of Usher of the White Rod of Scotland was created by King William the Lion of Scotland, who bestowed it upon his natural sen, William de Londonnis, and in that ancient compilation of laws and customs known as the Regiam Majestratum mention is to be found of a certain Thomas le Usser. King Robert 11, by a patent dated 1373, and £till in existence, bestowed the office of the White Rod of Scotland upon Alexander de Cock burn and his heirs, directing him as such to “‘at tend upon the sovereign at parliaments and feasts,” and further decreeing that he should have an “allowance for two men in armor, two arch ers, swordbearers and their families.” Robert II{ gave a Crown charier of confirmation in favor of the said Alexander de Ceckburn, besides bestow ing upon him the baronies of Langtoune, of Bol toune and of Carrodyvne. Mary Queen of Scots, ignoring the hereditary rights of the Cockburns of lLanetoune, in Berwickshire, gave the office to John, firth Earl of ¥leming, while Charlies I, on his accession to the throne, accorded it to James Maxwell, of Innerwick, and went so far as to order the imprisonment of Sir William Cockburn €or having appeared on the opening «f Parliament carrying a white rod before the King without hav ing received authority or summons. In 1681 the Cockburn of the day received from the Crown a confirmation of the office. Put in 1750, as stated ahove, his descendant, the head of the house of Cockburn for the timz being, became bankrupt, ané his Barony of Langtoune and liis hereditary office of 1'sher of the White Rod were sold by erder of the €ourt of Session of Edinburgh for the benefit of his creditors. In 1786 the Cockburns managed to repurchase it, but were obliged again to sell in 17%, the purchaser being on this occasion Sir Archibald Campbell, who is said to have paid 2s much as $60.60 for the office. In 18065 the office zgain came into the market and was bought by Mr William Walker, of Coats, for hie second son, Patrick. This transaction was officially confirmed, end Patrick Walker appeared as Usher of the White Rod at the coronation of George IV in Westminster Abbey, in 1821, and was knighted by the King on that occasion. When he died, with out icsue, the 1 shership purchased for him by his father passed sloag with his estate, by the terms of tis will, to his two sisters, Barbara and Mary Walker, who left money to build the Episcopal Cathedral Church of St. Mary's at Edinburgh, and founded for that ohject the Walker Trust. At Queen Victoria's coronation the claims of their nominee or deputy, Colonel Ainslie, were not al lowed. but at King Edward's coronation, a few years sgn, the nominee of the Walker Trust was more successful. HEREDITARY OFFICES HELD IN TRUST. The judgment of the Court of Claims was as fol lows “On the claim of the Walker trustees 16 ex ercise the office of 1'sher of the White Rod of Scot- land by deputy, the court adjudges the claimants’ right to be present by deputy to be approved by his majesty, to be allowed.” The Walker “trustees submitted for the approval of King Edward on that occasion the name of Sir George Anderson,

REAL HEROINE OF A POPULAR NOVEL. All those who hava read, either in the original or in translation. Pierre Loti's recent work en titled “Les Desenchantées” (“The Disenchanted’), professing to portray the unhappiness of harem life at Corstantinople, will be interested to learn that one of the heroines of that book—one, indeed, oy the two women whose experiences had furnished him with the theme for his romance—is about to be married. The wedding is tc take place at Paris. The bridegroom is a Polish noble of the name of Ladislas Rohozingki, while his fiancée is the daugh ter of the late Nouri Pacha, who was the most able of the Turkish plenipotentiaries at the peace congress at The Hague in 18383, also Under Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Sublime Porte, and who, although a Moslem, was a French nobleman—namely, the Marquis de Blesset de Cha teauneuf. Nouri Bey's father had gone to Turkey from France in connection with same railroad con tracts, and, vielding to the urgent requests of Sul tan Abdul Aziz to enter his service, becam# a con vert to Islam and died in the favor of the Padishah as Rechad Pacha. His son, Nouri, was educated in France, and owing to his charm of manner and his knowledge of the world became in course of time the principal channel through which all ecommuni cations were carried on between the foreign embas sies and legations and the Sublime Porte. Nouri had two daughters, one of them married and the other single. Having too much French blood in their veins to be content with the restrictions of Oriental harem life, they fled from Constantinople, escorted only by their old French governess, and sought refuge in Paris, where, thrown much in con tact with Pierre Loti, the story of their life at Stamboul and their adventures furnished him the theme for his novel “The Digenchanted.” Nouri Bey died a few months ago at Constantinople in such a sudden manner as to convey the impression that he had succumbed to poison administered to him by some of his foes at the Yildiz Kiosk who were jealous of the confidence réeposed in his inteég rity by the Sultan.

BAWDEN AIRS VIEWS. President Dabney Will Take No Immediate Action. Cincinnati, May 12.—Professor H. Heath Bawden, whose resignation as professor of philosophy at the University of Cincinnati has been demanded by President Dabney because of Professor Bawden's private views on marriage and sociology, was at his post as usual to-day, his classes being well at tended. He will not be suspended at present. This is partly due to the fact that the chairman of the board of trustees is ahs«ent from the city for an indefinite time, and partly because President Dabney thinks it will do no particular harm for Professor Bawden to continue with his classes tem porarilv. As Professor Bawden has made a pro test against handing in his resignation, President Dabney says he is disposed to give a fair hearing to the professor.

Professor Bawden to-day gave out a long state ment of his case, including his views on the sub ject of marriage, which were the causes of the de mand for his resignation. After expressing faith in the American public's judgment and willingness to abide by it, he says in substance:

“I believe in freedom of association of the sexes and in marriage based on comradeship. The only limit I would impose on sexual promiscuity wouid be the esthetic ideal of comradeship on the moral cide and the necessary restrictions of stirpiculture on the physical side.”

He approves of marriage, but insists that com radeship rather than love is the essential. He “derogates the finality of marriage and social stigma which attaches to divoree,” and “believes, with Plato, that the state should subsidize ma ternity. “I believe that the individual, and not the family, is the proper unit of political and social organization,” he says. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 12.—Few here knew that Professor H. Heath Bawden was forced to leave Vassar College because of his views on mar riage and sociology, and the dispatch from Cin cinnati telling of the effort to force him out of the University of Cincinnati caused astonishment at vassar. Professor Bawden left Vassar last June, and his departure was generally regretted, espe cially among the students, with whom he was popular. The Vassar class of '06 dedicated their official book, ‘The Vassarion” to Professor Bawden, ‘as an expression of the friendship of the class” and used his portrait for the frontispiece.

Schwerin, May 12.—The Grand Duchy of Mecklen burg-Schwerin ceased to-day to be the only state in Germany without a constitutional government.

Prince Ito Defines Japan's Intentions Tow ard the Hermit Kingdom. F Seoul, May 12. —Prince Ito, Resident General of Corea, said to-day: There has never heen the slightest thought of removing the Emperor or the court; in fact, this is absolutely opposed to my idea of administration. The country has never known independence, but central, provincial and local governments, which for many hundreds of vears have proved inefficient and never have had the confidence of the people, whom they squeezed unmercifully. I am seeking to put Corea in a position to qualify for real In dependence, and assure you in all earnestness that my policy is honestly prompted by my great desire to make all Corea a strong and independent ally of Japan. i

I believe that this is a surely possible achieve ment and that the senseless inferior opposition should cease its propaganda abroad, which is use less because it is conduéted by misrepresentation.

The only achievement of these alleged friends of Corea is to delay progress toward independence. TO REMOVE TROOPS FROM CRETE. Powers Decide to Withdraw Forces Owing to Peace in Island.

Canea, Crete, May 12.—After nearly eleven vears of occupation the four powers that have had in hand the protection of Crete—Great Britain, Russia, France and Italy—have decided that the people of the island, under the administration of the Grecian High Commissioner, Alexander T. A. Zaimis, have settled down sufficiently to justify the withdrawal of the international troops. The soldiery will be removed from the island by degrees.

In 189% Crete was governed by Turkey. In that year an effort was made by a part of the popula tion, aidea by Greek troops, to free the island from Turkish rule and annex it to Greece. This was opposed by the four powers mentioned above, who established a pacfic blockade of the island. In 1898 the powers constituted Crete, with its adjacent islets, an autonomous state under a high commis sioner of the powers, subject to the suzertainty of Turkey, but without tribute. Crete has a mixed nonulation of 325.000. RAILWAY LISES P. R. LAND CASE. Judge Rodey Dismisses Suit of American Comnanv Against Government. San Juan, P.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908. M CARTER THE CHOICE

10 RICH PRIZE AT STAKE. Strong Field to Face Starter for NFO JRE pow iTIm M CARTER THE CHOICE RICH PRIZE AT STAKE. Strong Field to Face Starter for Metropolitan Handicap. McCarter, the winner of the Excelsior Handicap, was the favorite last night for the rich Metro politan Hancicap, at cne mile, which will be the feature of the opening of the spring meeting of the Westchester Racing Association at Belmont Park to-8ay. Jack Atkin, the winner of the Carter Handicap, and now referred to as the Roseben of the South, was fancied by many good judges, #8 was also King Cobalt, a speedy three-year-old, which has made such a good impression in his three races thie vear. Unless sll signe fail, a crowd numbering fully thirty thousand persons will go down to the big park. ike inclosure to see the race decided. Belmont Park never looked more attractive than it aid yesterday morning, and with the promise of bright weather and a close, hard fought race for one of the big turf classics, there is plenty to attract a record breaking crowd. Fifteen horses have been named overnight for the Metropolitan Handicap, and the field is one of the best that has ever gone to the post for the rich prize, which will be worth about $12,000 to the winner. James R. Keene will be represented by Superman and Restigouche, although Ballot and Celt are both eligible. Superman had his public trial for the race on Monday. and, while beaten by Hessian, he ran well enough to indicate that he may give a good account of himself to-day. McCarter, since winning the Excelsior Handicap, has been working to the complete satisfaction of his astute trainer, Tom Welsh. His final work was 2 mile in 1:41, which indicates clearly that he is keyed up to hie best effort. Musgrave, whose con tract has just been bought by the Newcastle Stable, hes been engaged to ride Jack Atkin, but it is just possible that he will have the mount on MeCarter, in which case the chances of the horse will be im proved. Because of penalties Jack Atkin must take up 128 pounds, and under this steadying impost the good son of Sain is not Jooked on with as much favor by close students of form as if he had eight pounds Jess. He is in fine condition, however, and seems to have a natural ability, like Roseben, to handle big weight in almost any company, so he must not be disposed of without due consideration. King Cobalt, with only 101 pounds up, wili not lack for followers. McCarthy will have the mount, and with a fair break the colt is likely to be out $n the van from the start, as there are few horses $n training that can outrun him for a quarter of a mile. There has been some question about his be ing more than a sprinter, but, until tried and found wanting, there is no reason 10 believe that he will not go a distance. His final work for the race was 2 mile in 1:42 3-5, but he did it so smoothly and easily that it was accounted a particularly good move by those who saw it. Salvidere, the champion two-vear-old of 1906 and winner of the Brighton Cup last season, is being whispered around as a good thing” by the rail birds who have watched his long and careful prep aration for the race. It is said that he is as good as he ever was in his life, and, if that is true, he will take a lot of beating. F. R. Hitchcock's Dan delion cannot he taken seriously after his poor race Lehind Superman on Monday. Harry Payne Whitney has named Brookdale Nymph and Baby Wolf, but, while Jack Joyner would net commit himself yesterday, the general impression was that he will depend on Brookdale Nymph, which has been working well since her last start. She is quite likely to have some friends, but. judging from her races this year, will not prove particulariy dangerous. Spooner has heen tried and found wanting this season, while Old Honesty looks outclassed. R. F. Carman’s Rifleman is in well with 107 pounds, but he seems to be an unlucky sort of horse, as he runs fairly good races only to meet defeat time and again. He might furnish a surprise, but his chances do not look particularly bright. Far West worked a mile in 1:43 galloping on Monday morning. and his owner, M. I. Schwartz, seemed confident yesterday that the horse would give a good account of himself, but he, like Blue Book, a fair sort of colt last year, does not seem 10 have better than an outside chance. Don Creole, which is in with a feather on his back, was being whispered around yesterday as a “good thing.” Con Leighton, who has been pointing him for this race for the last four weeks, has been hoping and praying for rain, as the Plaudit colt has a particular liking for a soft, muddy track. His final work for the race over the Gravesend course was one mile in 1:42 3-3, the first six furlongs in 1-14. He is said to have had a heavy boy up, and for that reason may take some bealing. Garner will have the mount. The Metropolitan Handicap will be run as the third race.

It was perfect baseball weather, and a crowd numbering 15,00 persons turned out to see the first test of strength between the two teams. Timely hitting in the last two innings gave Cleve land the victory.

Joss pitched a fine game for Cleveland, holding the Yankees down to three hits. Bemis was some what off in his play, and made three of the four errors charged against the visitors, but otherwise Joss got good support. Until the last two innings Doyle, who was in the box for the Yankees, pitched well, but when the hits came they counted. In the eighth inning Hinchman started the run getting for Cleveland with a long single to centre, and then Joss practically won his own game with a slashing three-bagger to left field, which allowed Hinchman to cross the plate. In the ninth inning Stovall sent the ball spinning into left field for a two-bagger, reached third on a sacritice by Lajoie and then raced over the plate on a long single by Bemis. In the second inning, after catching Doyle's throw retiring Hinchman at first, Chase with light ning speed threw to Conroy, catching Birmingham off third base. The play was applauded for some minutes. In the third inning Chase caught a puzzling foul by Perring on the run, and in the eighth robbed the same batsman of what seemed to be a safe hit when he hauled down a screaming liner with one hand.

i

A

Ball, in the seventh inning, made a neat stop of Hinchman’'s hot bounder and got it to first in time to catch the runner. In the seventh inning, when Ball made a jumping catch and got Lajoie’'s liner with one hand, the ¢rowd stood up and applauded. Good catches by Keeler and Hemphill were also features of the game. In the seventh inning it looked as if the Yankees would gcore when Chase sent out a two-bagger and got to third on Stahl's long fly. It was the nearest the Yankees got to the plate.

T 15 Pittsburg, May 12—Maddox pitched his first game of the season for Pittsburg to-day, and his poor control and wildness were the chief factors in the New York Giantz winning by a score of 8 to 2 am getting revenge for yesterday's defeat, With the game hopelessly lost, he was taken out of the box in the fifth inning and Young substi tuted. The latter was an tmprovement. In the fourth in. ing Maddox made the fans groan, as one after another Bresnahan, Doyle, ~Bridwell and Shannon walked to first, forcing in ‘a run. On a single by Tenney, Doyle and Brid well tallied. The visitors had taken the lead in the preceding inning, when Tenney sent out a two bagger and then came romping over the plate when Donlin drove the ball almost out of sight for a home run.

The fielding on both sides was sharp and snappy. A catch by Shannon of Becker's fly in the first inning, and a great catch by Wilson of Shannon's fast drive that looked good for a home run in the third inning, were the fielding features. Wiltse, who pitched for the Giants, was in good form, and held the Pirates down to five hits. The first run made by Pittsburg was in the sec ond inning. when Swacina sent out a two-bagger, advanced on Wilson's sacritice and scored on a single by Gibson. In the seventh inning the Pirates made their second run. Gibson was safe on first on Devlin's wild throw, got to third on Becker's hit and came in on Leach’'s fiy. Wagner was unable to play to-day, and may be out of the game for some time as the result of a bad strain. The scare followe RAAEAE OLA CAEL L. ve score follows eh ode. pm Phen ST fbn did NEW YORK.

Gives Up Lawn Tennis Match When Practically Beaten. The lawn tennis tournament on the courts of teh Har)sm Club, 131st street and Seventh avenue, was continued yesterday, all except two matches in the second round being completed. There was one surpritce when Wylia C. Grant faced William H. Connell in the second round. Connell was in good form and Grant was not. His capacities for poor play showed in the first sét, which he lost at 6-1. In the second set Grant braced up, but Connell gave him a fight. The games ran to fall, when Grant withdrew. He sald he would be unable to play to-day if he won the match, and, as the dust on the courts bothered him he decided to retire. Dr. William Rosenbaum won two matches and qualified for the third round. Richard H. Palmer, Henry J. Mollenhauer and M. Burt were the other survivors of the second round. The doubles were drawn last night and will be played to-day. The summary follows: Men's singlez (first round)—H. Bassford won from T. Donohua, by default; Dr. V. Meltzer defeated P. Phelan. 6-2 8-6; W. H. Connell, defeated A. Bassford, Jr. 6-3, 10—8; Wylie C. Grant defeated H. W. Chace, 6—2, 6—1: L. H. Fitch defeated H. W. Robinson, 6—2. 6-3; Dr. William Rosenbaum defeated R. W.

Although there was no change in the boating of the Columbia 'varsity eight vesterday in the first row since the Annapolis race, Rice intimated that there would be a general shake-up before the end of the week. He has not definitely decided on the changes, but it is probable that Keator will be transferred to the second eight and his seat at No. 7 taken by Starbuck, who is now row ing No. 6. J. J. Ryan, it is said, will fill Star buck’'s place. Ryan rowed last year in the second boat. There are also rumors that a change will be made at No. 2, but this seems unlikely, as Jordan, who is at present in that seat, rowed there all last spring until the crews went to Poughkeepsie, when he had to leave for the West. Rice is not disappointed over the outcome of the Annapolis race. “Why, if I had had my men {fn condition on Saturday,” he said, “they would be stale at Poughkeepsie, and that is what we are training for. The poor weather conditions have kept the men from being quite =o far advanced as they were at this time last year, but then when we got up the river last year we were told that the men were stale. I don't believe in get ting my men in the pink of condition for one of these preliminary two-mile races so early in the season.” Yesterday all the heavy men in the boat— Spalding, Dellenbaugh, Von Saltza and Starbuck— wore heavy sweaters while rowing, and when they returned to the boathouse were sent out for a three-mile run. Rice is spending most of his time on the freshmen, who will have a race with the Yale first year men on Lake Whitney on Sat urday. SHUT-OUT FOR THE SUPERBAS. St. Louis Turns the Tables on Brooklyn, Thanks Largely to Lush. St. Louis, May 12.—St. Louis defeated Brooklyn to-day by a score of 2 to 0. All ten hits made by the home players were off McIntyre, who pitched seven innings for the Superbas. Wilhelm took his place in the eighth inning. Lush pitched a fine game for St. Louis. The Latting of Barry and Delehanty was the feature. In the first inning a single by Barry, a fly and a single by Delehanty gave St. Louis one run, while singles by Barry, Charles and Delehanty brought in the second run, in the fifth inning.

Brandt was not disposed to risk of losing Fitz Herbert, which was enter in the Suffolk Stakes at Jamaica yeste seratéhed the son of Ethelbert, so that Ww have amounted to a run-off of his dead Trance in the Elmhurst Stakes on May possible. With Fitz Herbert out of the way. Trance galloped in front all the way and won easily in the fast time of 101-5 She was a hot favorite at odds on, and more than justified the short price. Jack Joyner's Ramble tried to keep pace with her in the first half mile, and by sO doing encompassed his own defeat, and finished outside the money. Erbet, closing resolutely, followed Trance home some ix lengths before Hoyle. It was the last day of the spring meeting of the Moatropolitan Jockey Club, and a big erowd was in attendance. Three favorites won, in Personal, Pris. cilitan and Trance, while E. Dugan kept up his good work by riding two winners. August Belimont's Priscillian, a chestnut gelding by Hastings—St. Priscilla, ran a brilliant race in winning the handicap, at a mile and a sixteenth. He took up 119 pounds, and, making the pace to suit himself, won galloping in the good time of 1:473-5. He is a big, fine locking chestnmt, and a ¢lose analysis of the race, considering the weight he carried and his manner of winning, makes it ap pear as if he was not far behind Hessian. which won in such impressive fashion on Monday. The colt is being trained for August Belmont by Jack Joyner, the owner of Hessian, so that in all prob ability the two horses will not meet for some time at least. Priscillian beat James R. Keene's Pster Quince a head a few days ago in his first start of the sea gon, and was all out to do it, which indicates, after Priscillian’s easy victory yesterday, that Peter Quince is likely to develop into a high ciass colt also. Lad of Langden was heavily played to beat Priscillian, but he gave it up on the far turn after trying to live with the pace. Chantilly was probably the best horse in tha third race, but he lost a lot of ground on the first turn and after coming from far back ran into a pocket at the last sixteenth polé, which forced Lynch to stop riding for a few strides at a critical part of the race. The horse squeezed through in time to earn the place, but Druid, who closed strongly 6a the outside, won by a length. Saylor, the odds-on favorite, tired in the closing strides, after racing neck and neck with Orcagna most of the way. E. Dugan, who is under contract to Harry Payne Whitney this year, had a narrow escape when Say lor fell just after the finish. The boy hardly hit the track before he instinctively jumped to his feet and staggered under the rail, where he lay for a minute as if badly hurt. Jack Jeyner was among the first to reach him, but Dugan declined assist ance, and, to the relief of the ¢rowd in the stand, was soon on his feet, with not even a bruise to show for his ugly looking fall. He insisted upon riding out his engagements, and the crowd ap plauded him for his coolness and nerve. While speaking of Dugan it may be said that he headed the list of winning jockeys for the meet ing, with twenty-five victories to his credit. Not a day passed that he did net ride at least one winner, and those who followed his mounts reaped a rich reward. Notter was second, with twelve victories, while Musgrave followed, with seven. G. Burns and McCarthy had six each, the former's poor standing being due largely to the fact that he was under suspension for the greater part of the meet ing. Englander, who got his license to ride a few days ago, after being under the ban for some time, had his first mount of the year on Never Late in the first event.

I don't Rnow whether this Toledo man has had any correspond ence with the secretary, who is now on his way to New York with Commodore Vanderbilt aboard the flagship North Star, but I think it is doubtful if the club would accept the model unless undisputed proof could be furnished that it was genuine.” BASEBALL NEWS AND NOTES.

STOCK VALUES HEAVY. Realizing Sales and Bear Pressure Hurt Prices—More Gold to Go to Eurove—Money Easy. tha 917 wel Ag is

Declining values in the leading securitics 122 vesterday's stock market were based more on technical conditions than on adverse news de velopments., though traders advanced the poor report of the Erie for the March quarter, the resumption of plans for gold exports and a heavy falling off in shipments of domestic products for the mcnth of April as adequate arguments for a general selling movement. Speculative considerations based on the over bought position of the market naturally sug gested to the careful follower of prices the wis dom of #ssuming a pesition on the short side, especially in such issues as Chesapeake Ohio, St. Paul, Ontario Western, Reading and Union Pacific, which recently have been mov ing under the influence of aggressive bull ma nipulation. Realizing sales in these stocks and in varicus other parts of the list were effective factors in helping the downward movement, and the fact that active distributive selling was going on in the chief speculative favorites was reflected in attempts te cover the sales by the bidding up of some of the cheap priced stocks, notably the Southern Railway shares. On the decline fair support developed, and in the case of the copper stocks and American Smelting marked resistance to bear pressure was re ported, while in the early afternoon the entire market presented improvement over the fore noon level, the movement being encouraged by the cessation of foreign selling, which was de cidedly heavy in the first two hours of trading. There was a material shrinkage in the volume of business as compared with the total opera tions of the prec=ding day. but leading commis sion houses were bullish in their market opin jons and predict2d expansion in speculative and investment dealings, with higher prices ulti mately.

wing y Ko far in the current week the local banks have lost on their operations with the Sub Treasury upward of $5,500,000, the gain by the government being cue to payments by the de positary institutions of funds recailed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In view of the large reserve holdings of the city banks this loss is insignificant, and it will not be reflected in a tightening of money rates; indeed, there is little chanee of a higher price for money until the fall demand in conncction with the harvesting and marketing of the vear’s crops becomes urgent. On Mav 25 the Treasury will withdraw from depositary banks $25,000,000 more of government funds. This transaction will be as easily financed as were the withdrawals of last Satur day, while in the event of further calls from the government upon ihe banks money market con ditions will not be adversely affected. Nor will the resumption of gold exports upset the mone tary situation. Steriing exchawge was strong vesterday, and shipments of the metal to Paris were foreshadowed by the course of the market, which suggested an intermittent flow of gold to Europe, notwithstanding the likelihood of the flotation of American bond issues abroad. In I oe i

Mf Bait oe connection with the position of the foreign ex change market it is interesting to record the fact that in the month of April exports of do mestic products trom this country declined in value to the amount of $20,492,826, comparison being made with the corresponding month a vear ago, with the heaviest loss in the movement of cotton, which showed a falling off in value to the extent of $15,983,689. Exports of bread stuffs declined $4,443,820. ,The demand for con sumption abroad is much lighter than it was a few months ago, and it reflects conditions which in many respects are similar to those prevailing in the United States. J 07g as Though business conditions here are not fa vorable at the moment for merchants, manu facturers and transportation companies, it is encouraging to know the country’s finances are sound and that credit resources of the banks ir all the leading cities are enormous, Great credit facilities based on a tremendous reserve powel will be an lmporiant factor in restoring indus triai prosperity. The railroads of the country need money for improvement purposes, and there is every reason to believe that within the course of the next few months their needs will be sup plied through the medium of the bond market which is showing a rapidly inereasing power of absorption. A resumption of extension and im provement operations by the transportatior companies cannot be longer delayed, and wher it comes it ought to prove a powerful bull stim: ulant for the stock inarket. The public is no in the market to any extent, but brokers repor buying orders from people in various parts o! the country who believe that, notwithstanding the possibility of irregularity and sharp reac. tions from the current level, securities bough at the present range of guotations will sell man: points Ligher a vear hence. It is a good tim. 10 lock up stocks a safe places and to forge the course of the ticker. Many small investor: are doing this, as indicated by the increase jp the holdings of odd share lots in all the prom. inent railrecad and industrial concerns.

GOT N. Y. LIFES MONEY GOT N. Y. LIFES MONEY J. F. KING PERSISTENT. F. KING PERSISTENT. Obtained Contributions of £15,000 to Merchants’ Association.

An examination of the financial records of the New Yerk Life Insurance Company shows that that corporation paid in the neighborhood of $15,00¢ to the Merchants’ Association of New York, pursuant to numerous reguests for gifts to that assaxiation Pr William F. King, at one time its president, who 4s chairman of the Metropolitan committee which has preferred charges against District Attorney Jerome and asked for his removal. The letters of John A. McCall, then president of the New York life, show that the company let to the Merchants’ Association quarters at reduced rates and also that Mr. McCall finally grew weary of Mr. King's constant calls for contributicns. The books of the compény show that in many instances the contri putions to the Merchants’ Association were charged $n such Way as to conceal the purpese for which in number of Mr. King's letiers to Mr. McCall the former based his persistent applications on an alleged =ervice to the insurance company rendered bv the association in advertising the New York 1ife Building by having pictures of it on its sta tionery. In a letter dated June, 1527, to Mr. Mc Cali Mr. King sald: the 1 have been severely criticised for renting the guarters which we have taRern, but 1 have a belief «hat 2 broad gauge policy was essential to our success. 1 believe that our work will result in enormous advertisement to the New York Life, and I *hink that we should be dealt with very liberally ®v that company during the first few months of our existence. 1 trust you will take under con sideration the advisability ef contributing to our fund.

As result of this letter, Mr. McCall, after con ying with the treasurer of the company, agreed that a contribution of $2,500 should be made. This eontribution was entered on the books of the New York Life so that it was not easily possible to find just how the money had been spent. «Summer Days and Nights’ was the title of 2 pamphlet Mr. King had the Merchants’ Association end about which he wrote to Mr. McCall end out, The foliowing is an extract from his

on Juns I3. jetter: pur picture of your building is one of your best advertisements. and 1 trust you will see your way clea~ 1p Send us a cheek. We have not yet re ceived the check, $1.86, for the interest rate. Think iniv jou have overigoked same. When you Eo nalf an hour's time I shail be pleased to call on You he records show that Mr. McCali “0 K'é” Mr. Ring s application for $1.00, and that this amount was charged on the company’s books as “expenses.” Mr. King gave a receipt accordingly. He alsqg sent the following bill:

To s@vertisement n connection with publication of 20.6 copies of “Summer Days and Nights in New York.”

This bill was marked “Correct for $2,560," and «0. K.é¢" by Mr. McCall A check was duly given Mr. King for that amount There is zlso on Hie g lerrer signed by Mr. King and approved by Gus tav H. Schwab, Charles H. Webb, Frank Squier and others connected with the Merchants’ Asso tion, which says among other things:

Upon all this literature has appeared a cut of the New York Life Building, with those words in variably placed thereunder. In addition to that a SIT cut and address have been placed on the veiopes in which all this vast quantity of litera aure has been mailed, which has resulted in practi cally Goubling the amount of advertising for you. his has precteally constituted what we feel 10 be most valuable channel of advertising for your company, one of a character which would be dif $~uit for vour company to duplicate at any price. In recognition of this fact the association received from your company in 1887 $2500, and in 1858 $2.500. nd in 1880 35.060, as donations to carry on the work of he organization, bui considered by us as recom pense for full value received in ihe way of adver ising. Te therefore desire to bring before you officially busimess proposition the advisability of con “inning for tbe year 18% the payment of a similar «um to thet paid in 1889. especially in view of the “act that the work of this association is entirely of a public nature and depends wholly upon voiun ‘tary dues and contributions of public spirited ciu wens. The following is part of 2 jetter from President McCall to Mr. King: We have contributed very liberally toward es wour associaticn. The rent charged has less than it would be to any one else. Our contribution of $10,080 in cash has carried out every pledge that we had in ming or that we make. We cannot £0 on ceniributing as you suggest, because it is not apparent that the merchants of this city have shown thai interest in your Success that they should have In January, 1801, Mr. King again applied to Mr. wMCall for a “kindly contribution.” Evidently he sot it. for there occurs the following in a letter cigned by Mr. King and sent 10 Mr. McCall: er thanks ‘or the $600 check.” id

Fi H 23 i More charges of note swindling were filed yes terday at the District Attorney's office against Charlies Barry and Charles Gundlach, who are under arrest. Deputy Assistant District Attorney Kindleberger, who has charge of the case, said that he expected there would be more arrests in a day or two. From the additional losses reported it seemed likely that the total would reach not less than $500,000. Rarry was photographed and measured for the Rogues’ Gallery and then arraigned in the Tombs police court, where he was held in $3.00 bail to await a further hearing to-morrow. The prisoner said he was a graduate of Chicago and North western universities and also the Illinois Union College of Law and said he was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1885. Among the men he alleged he knew or had been associated in business with were Abner McKinley, brother of President McKinley; John Mave Palmer, son of John M. Palmer, candi date for President in 18%, and Carl Fowler, son of the late Bishop Fowler. He said ne wus first sec retary to the Sanitary District Commission of Chicago, which built the drainage canal, and presi dent of the world's fair commission of the German National Gymnastic Union.

Zabriskie, Murray, Bage Kerr, lawyers, told the District Attorney's office that they had a client whe had lost heavily through the Kentucky Coal, Timber and Land Company, of which Barry was presideni. W. H. Jurney, of Eleventh avenue and sth street, said he had been swindled by John Joseph Campbell, who was sentenced last week, and said that Campbell told him Barry was worth $60,000,000. Harper Morgan, lawyers, said that one of their clients had lost several hundred dol lars on discount commissions through Gundlach. Leroy F. Griffin, of No. 23 Broadway, was called to the District Attorney’s office and examined.

Amos H. Evans appeared as counsel for Barry at the police court hearing, and insisted that his client be tried at once and independent of Gund lach. The case against Gundlach was then taken up. and Preston E. Sherman, president of Sherman Co., toid of his dealings with Gundlach. No new evidence was brought out, and the hearing was adjourned until to-mOITOW. “Sol” Oppenheim, a lawyer, told Mr. Kindle berger that several jewelry merchants in Maiden Lane had loaned to persons with whom Barry and Gundlach were associated $180,900 worth of dia monds., and that some of these merchants had gone inio bankruptcy because they could not dis count the notes. The Southern Railway Company, it was learned yesterday in semi-official quarters, will put out an issue of notes in the near future. The amount and the details have not vet been arranged, but it was understood that the issue would be in the neighbor hood of $16,000,000. It is known that the Southern needs money, as it has considerable floating debt, and it will take close 1o $2,000,000 to meet the equip men trust payments which fall due in June, Au gust, September, Nevember and December. The

ECU 1reins. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908. 13 GLADDENS DEPOSITORS 4 Knickerbocker to Anticipate Two Payments on June 1. The directors of the Knickerbocker Trust Com pany at a meeting yesterday decided to anticipates payment of the next two instalments to deposi tors, which under the resumption agreement were not due until June 26, 198, and September 26, 1308, respectively. These two instalments are for per cent each, and will be placed to the credit of the checking accounts of the depositors on June 1. The aggregate amount of these anticipated payments will be about $2,560,000. The announcement of the anticipated payments was well received in financial circles, where it was wholly unexpected, as it was not thought that the company had been open for business long enough for the directors to take such action. It was said, however, when the Knickerbocker resumed on March 26, that payments would be anticipated if conditions warranted.

Under the terms of the plan of resumption assent ing depositors were to receive 10 per cent of 70 per cent of their deposits on the opening day, and the remainder st intervals covering a period of two and one-half years. The remaining 30 per cent of the deposits, it was provided in the agreement, was to be represented by surplus cer tificates bearing 4 per cent interest, payable semi annually out of the net earnings of the company. These certificates are to be retired out of the net earnings and surplus, provided that in no event the latter is reduced balow $8 000,000. When the company reopened many of the depos itors aliowed the 10 per cent due them under the plan te remain on deposit, and it is not believed that they will withdraw their money on the pres ent occasion. It ig believed that tha condition of the company will warrant it in anticipating further payments as they come along, and that the agree ment with the depositors will be carried out much more rapidly than they had reason to hope for at the time of resumption.

SELL $£15000000 NOTES. Proceeds to Finish Western Pacific Construction Work. The Denver Rio Grande Railroad Company, on behalf of the unfinished Western Pacific, has sold $15,000,000 of three-five wear per cent convertible notes to three locad bankers. As security the Den ver Rio Grande will take second mortgage West ern Pacific bonds at 5.

It is the belief of the Gould interests that this amount of money will be enough to finish the con struction of the Western Pacific and to provide sufficient equipment to start operation on the new road. i The new notes were solé to Blair Co., William Saziomon Co. and William A. Read Co., the tankers who composed the syndicate which in 1805 took the $050,000.000 of Western Pacific J per cent first mortgage bonds. At the time these bonds were solid it was agreed that if the proceeds failed to be sufficient to finish the construction work of the Western Pacific the Denver Rio Grande would raise the additional capital needed.

Aldermen Vote $100,000 to Extend Central Park Water System. The aldermen passed an appropriation yesterday of $100,600 for an extension of the high pressurs water system in Central Park, and took under con sideration a request from Commissioner Smith for another $1,060 for playgrounds. The water ap propriation had been previously approved by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, the Park Commissioner urging the extension as necessary for the watering of plants and flowers and general irrigation. Concerning the $106,000 for playgrounds, Commis sioner Smith said that he aimed mainly by the use of the appropriation to keep a uniferm force in his employ the year round, instead of handing dis charges as Christmas presents to these employes. Alderman Dowling argued that it was the only way to keep the playgrounds open. He digressed to talk about Chelsea Park and why it had not been improved, and Alderman Walsh raised a point of order. Alderman Gunther asked that the whole question go over for a week. Alderman Douli had taken the chair, and said that a post ponement would not help. Alderman Estabrook, Republican, opposed the resolution and it went over. The sum of $5,000 was appropriated for an auto mobile, without public letting, for Deputy Fire Chief Lally, of Brooklyn. When a proposition came up for the appropria tion of $12,000 for the refitting of offices in the old Bast River Bank Building, in Chambers street, for the bureau of licenses, now in the basement of the City Hall, Alderman Dowling urged that the change was desirable, in that it would permit the transferrence of the marriage license bureau from the City Clerk's office to the basement, and away from the main corridor of the City Hall The necessary sixty votes were not obtained. D. H. PLAN RATIFIED. Deed of Trust Will Be Executed to Secure Bond Issue. The stockholders of the Delaware Hudson Com pany at a special meeting yesterday ratified the plan for the execution of a first and refunding mortgage or deed of trust upon some or all of the company’s franchises and properties to secure the proposed new issue of bonds to an amount not to exceed $50,000,000. The new bonds will bear interest not to exceed 4 per cent, will run for at least thir ty-five years and will be redeemable at 105 within a limited time. The bonds to be issued at present are limited to from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000. The proceeds will be used te fund the floating debt of the company and for improvements. The permission of the Public Service Commission will be asked in the near future, and, as soon as this permission is obtained, steps will be taken toward the sale of the bonds. No arrangements to this end have been made by the company.

At the annual meeting of the stockholders, which preceded the special meeting. the retiring board of managers was re-elected. There was no opposi tion. It was announced that there were 5,861 stock hclders of the company, as compared with 3,700 a year ago. ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE GO0D. President of Lackawanna Says It Has Not Fallen OF Much. president of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western Railroad Company, said yesterday that the anthracite coal trade had not suffered so greatly as had been generally supposed from the business depression. He added:

“Fairly heavy demand for anthracite coal throughout April has brought the decrease in sales for the final four months of the year down 1o about 10 per cent, as compared with the same period of last year. Of course, a slackening in the next few months is to be expected, but it is likely that fall transactions will be of gratifying volume." William H. Truesdale, DOMESTIC EXPORTS DECLINE. In the month of April there was a marked Iail ing off in exports of domestic products “from this country, the heaviest loss being reported in ship ments of cotton, which declined from the same month last year iu value mere than $15,000,000.

A. B. Hepburn Looks for Unprece dented Period of Prosperity. A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National Bank, entertained at luncheon yesterday the com mittee representing the National Prosperity Asso ciation, of St. Jouis, that is here to spread the prosperity idea, alter a visit to President Roose velt on Monday. The committee includes E. C. Simmons, of the Simmons Hardware Company, and president of the association; Edward Devoy, president of the St. Louls Chamber of Commerce, and F. J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust Company. They met at the luncheon the mem bers of the executive committee of the New York Chamber of Commerce. The objects of the National Prosperity Associa tion wera discussed at length after the luncheon, and Mr. Simmons explained that he and bis ccl leagues were to seek co-operation in the rapidly growing movement.

Mr. Hepburn said, in reply to a question as to whether he believed natural conditicns favored a return of good times at once: “I certainly do. All prosperity comes from the soil. The crops this vear promise to be remarkably prolific. Let these crops reach the market and let the people under stand that there is no longer any occasion for finan cial worry, and the country will enter upon an un precedented period of prosperity.” As to the possible action of the Chamber of Com merce with regard to the prosperity movement he said: “I am not in a position io state anything with regard to the chamber as yet, as I am only one member. However, I am personally in favor of any movement to improve conditions, and the members of the executive committee of the Cham ber of Commerce wers heartily in accord with the cbjects of the St. Louis committee. “The two committees had a very harmonious ex change of views upon the present and prospective condition and needs of the business affairs of the country. There was general accord in the views of all present as to the desirability of co-operative action on the part of the commercial bodies of the entire country, and the executive committee will submit the matter to the chamber for action in the near future.” The St. Louis committee will go home to-day.
