Malaria has gripped the city in the last four months as never before, according to the Health AND Department physicians, but it is not of a viru lent type. There was only one death in the two weeks ended September 12, and that case was sald to have been contracted in the South, where the disease assumes far more dangerous proportions.

“It is more than likely that the mosquitoes were responsible,” said Dr. C. F. Bolduan, one of the bacteriologists of the Health Depart ment, yesterday. “I have heard from numerous physicians in this borough, in The Bronx and in Westchester about it. The cases are seidom reported because the ditease is of such a mild type. There is hardly a physician in the whole city who has not several patients under treatment.”

Dr. Bouldan made an inspection of the Cro ton watershed recently, and heard the same story of malaria from the physicians In that section. Typhoid cases were few, and the nui sances, once so prevalent, had been done away with almost entirely. One typhoid case was found An Croton Falls, another in Mount Kisco, and another in Yorktown. Their history showed that they had been brought into the watershed. It was while investigating these that the ma laria complaint came out. Had the season heen exceptionally wet the disease might be traced to that as a cause, but investigation showed that mosquitoes were the real carriers of the germ. The Department of Health will plan a cam paign against the insect so that the malaria in fliction may not be repeated next year.

EVANS ON PENSIONS. Rear Admiral Favors Higher Ones for Civil War Veterans. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 19.—*“Fighting Bob" Evans, the retired rear admiral of the United States navy. came out to-day as an advocate of higher pensions for Civil War veterans. He made a characteristic speech at the unveiling of a monu ment to the 156th New York Volunteer Regiment at Highland, opposite this city, in the course of which he said: Be good to those cld men who fought in the great war th2t our Union might be saved. Don't rive them any more $12 a month bounties. If you are going tc starve the men who all but gave up their lives for you it would be better to do it at once and not prolong the process day by day and year by year. as you have been doing.

Don’t expect a speech from me, as speechmak ing is not my trade. Although not a native of the Empira State, T am an American at heart and soul, which gives me the right to be with vou here at the unveiling of this monument. In honor ing your dead you honor yourselves. In the future, when war comes, as it surely will, the nation must be defended by its vouth. 71 hope war will not come in my time, but if it does all the gray heads you see here wili be ready to fight again if they are needed. These white heads did not die, because in many cases the bullets were not merciful enough te kiil them.

Tt iz the fashion now for certain men to call vou murderers and robbers, but it is a wicked slander. You are the same boys in blue that you were back in "61. The boys in blue are the same gallant, clean. hard hitters in every war. I saw them in the Civil War, in the picnic in Cuba and in the Philippines, and IT sav to you that there are no bet ter men than those in the blue coats. They are in the navy, too, and 1 just took a lot of them through the Strait of Mage<ilan.. It was the talk that some body would hurt us wnen we got on the other side. They didn’t hurt us a bit, and; if they had, I would have felt sorry for the other fellow.’

War must come, but keep it away as long as you can. There are no greater advocates of peace than the officers of the 2rmy and navy. They know that the only way to keep peace is by having both army and navy so strong that other nations and men will fear to attack us. There is ne danger to the liber ties ‘of the people in this poliey. i If vou give us battleships emough 1 assure yo that we will keep the peace, if we have to fight for 1t UNVEIL PENNSYLVANIA MONUMENT Forty-fourth Anniversary of a Battle at Winchester Observed. Winchester, Va., Sept. 159.—A granite monument was unveiled in the National Cemetery in this city to-day in memory of Pennsyvivania soldiers who fell in battle in and around Winchester during the ‘ivil War. The occasion was the forty-fourth an niversary of the battle of Winchester. Many prom inent Pennsvivanians were present, including Gov ernor Stuart and his staff, Colonel J. M. Schoon maker, of Pittsburg: General John W. Schall, of Allentown; (olonel Lewis T. Moore, of Philadel phia, and officers of the monument association.

Addresses were made by the Rev. Dr. J. H.

MARDI GRAS ENDS WITH BIG CROWD.

Confetti Clogs Car Tracks and B. R. T. Has to Put Sweepers on to Keep Trafic Moving. A record crowd, numbering, according to police estimates, more than seven hundred thousand per sons, flocked to Coney Island vesterday to take part in the last night's fun of the Mardi Gras and to witness the children’s parade’ in the afternoon. About sixty small children, who became separated from their guides in the course of the parade, were taken to the Coney Island police station and placed in charge of the matron, Mrs. Duffy, who was kept busy all the afternoon restoring the Jost voungsters to their distracted parents. Six hundred policemen, in charge of Deputy «Commissioner Baker. Inspectors Flood and O’Brien, and Captain Thomas Kelly, kept the crowd in order.

Only one arrest for disorder was made during the evening. The prisoner was Charles D. Foster, forty vears old, a broker, living in Camden, N. J. Foster is accused of annoying women on Surf avenue. Hundreds of bushels of confetti collected in the roadway along Surf avenue clogged the car tracks and frequently caught fire from the motors of the cars. A force of men was put to work by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company sweeping the tracks and extinguishing the frequent small fires. The restaurants along Surf avenue were nearly swamped with the crowds of customers that stormed their doors.

MALARIA GRIPS CITY. “NIGHT RIDING” CONDEMNED. TAFT ANSWERS BRYAN SPEAKS ON PHILIPPINES. Says Democratic Policy Would Be Disastrous to the Islands. i a discussion of the Philippine question, which he declared to be an issue in the campaign be cause of the position taken in the Democratic platform, and answered the recent criticisms of Mr. Bryan with reference to the rallroad fran chises and friars’ lands sale. the Sinton Hotel. His remarks were confined to

“The Democratic party,” he said, “has de 'clared in its platform that as soon as a stable government is established in the islands we should leave them. A stable government is es tablished, so that this is equivalent to a reso i lution in favor of immediate withdrawal.” He reviewed the alternatives presented to the United States with reference to the Philippines at the close of the Spanish war, and asserted that there was no other course but to assume the responsibility. ‘““And,” he added, “Mr. Bryan and his followers were responsible for the cost and suffering and loss of life on both sides which arose during an unnecessary year of war.” PHILIPPINE RAILROAD FRANCHISES. On the subject of railway franchises in the Islands which has been critically referred to by Mr. Bryan recently, Mr. Taft said: The greatest need in the material development of the islands is the construction of railways. Under the organic act of 1902 Congress gave us authority to grant railway franchises, but, try as we would, we were not able to enlist capitalists in the enterprise except in the construction of two small lines, branches of the old road. In 1905 Congress passed a law enabling us to guar antee the interest on the bonds of any new rail way to the extent of 4 per cent for thirty years, the amounts paid to be a second lien on the railroad payable after thirty years. By this means we have secured the constructicn of one hundred miles of railroad in each of the three islands of Negros, Cebu and Panay. In Luzon we secured the construction of four hundred miles of additional railway without any guar antee. It was secured in this wise: The Manila Dagupan road had been built under a Spanish franchise creating a partnership in the railroad between the government and the company, and having among its many terms a guarantee of a fixed income to the company during the life of the franchise, for eighty-eight years. Under the advice of the Attorney General of the United States that the provisions of the charter, and especially the guarantee, were not binding on the United States, the military government, before I became Governor, had declined to pay the income when demanded and repudiated the obligations of the charter. This left the fran chise in a most indeterminate condition. In’ subsequent negotiations we secured a contract with fhe company to construct four hundred additional miles in Luzon under a perpetual franchise by bringing the old railroad under the same franchise. ‘All the railroad franchises authorized by the present government in the Philippines are perpetual, just as they are in this country. They all contain the provision, however, that they are subject to amendment to or repeal by Congress. This arrangement was greatly for the public benesfit. This is the part of my record in the Philip pines to which I suppose Mr. Bryan means to call my atiention. He. speaks of the Benguet railroad franchise. There is no Benguet rail road. 1 wish there waa. 1 presume hs refers to the Manila Dagupan Railroad franchise. Tt was fully discussed in an elaborate report I made to Congress in 1966. It was approved by the President and the Cabinet after full consid eration. Mr. Bryan is the first person, so far as I know, to question its wisdom or propriety.

FRIARS' LAND PURCHASE. Next we bought the friars’ lands and paid $7.000,000 for then. This was done to save a new insurrection by the sixty thousand tenants on the lands, who refused to pay rent to the friars. The friars had good title to the lands, hut they had become unpeopular with the peo ple, and the tenants refused to recognize their title, claiming the Aguinaldo government had passed a law nationalizing these lands, and that therefore they would not recognize the friars as their lawful owners. The purchase rid the gov ernment of the necessity of enforcing at the in stance of the friars judgments in the courts for the ejection of sixty thousand tenants, thus averting a new war. I" i i And not only in the matter of friars’ lands, but in the matter of many charitable trusts, we have effected a compromise by which the Church takes over some charitable trusts and we take over others. All the Church questions are set tled, well settled and fairly settled. Meantime, the influence of the Catholic Church in the Philippines for good has been increased by the substitution of an American hierarchy for the Spanish hierarchy. Episcopal, Methodist, Pres byterian and Baptist churches have been estab lished there, and a great improvement has come over the islands with respect to religion and morality after the demoralization of four years’ war and desolation. In an interview I said that even the Indepen distas—that is, those in favor of immediate in dependence in the islands—prefer Republican victory to Mr. Bryan's promises. Mr. Bryan now responds with a cable from Alberto Bar retto, denying this on behalf of certain authori ties in the Independista party. TI relied for my statement on a conversation T had last month with Sefior Quezon, who is the leader of the Independistas in the National Assembly, in which he told me that although the Indepen distas liked Mr. Brvan's platform they preferred my election as a friend of the Filipino to Mr. Bryan's promises. This statement Sefior Que zon subsequently repeated in a. published inter view. There is evidently a difference of opinion among tre Independistas.

Mr. Taft referred to the helpful work of the churches in the islands, particularly in view of the religious nature of the natives. BRYAN'S PLAN FOR INDEPENDENCE. He then took up Mr. Bryan's assertion that the Republican party had adopted his policy with reference to the islands. “Mr. Bryan's method of giving them inde pendence,” he sald. ‘was to release them at once, immediately after the treaty of Paris, and let them make the best way they could, through bloody faction and chaos, to decent self-government; and his further method was to interfere as much as possible by agitation in this country and vehement denunciation of our policy with the efforts which we were making to bring tranquillity and peace to the islands. We have always contended that the immediate In dependence which Mr. Bryan wishes to give to the Philippines would result in the utmost misery to the inhabitants of the islands.

“I submit there is not the slightest resem blance between our policy and that which Mr. Bryan proposes,” Mr. Taft said in conclusion. «Hence I say, my fellow citizens and neighbors, that one of the great reasons for keeping Mr. Rryan out of the Presidency and his party out of the control of Congress is that they are pledged to abandon the islands, to adopt the policy of scuttle, to rid this government of the burden which it has assumed with respect to this peopie and to withhold the spread of civil ization in that part of the Orient.”

i DEWEY’S TWELVE YEAR PORT WINE. The most strengthening Wine we make. H. T. Dewey Sons Co, 138 Fulton St, New York, -—ddvt, NREWEY’'S TWELVE YEAR PORT WINE [By Talegraph to The Tribune.] Cincinnati, Sept. 19.—Mr. Taft to-night ad SIX SAVED FROM OCEAN A WEEK OF SUFFERING. Fire in a Bucket Seen—Men Swim to Luckenbaclh’s Boat. San Juan, P. R., Sept. 19.—Captain J. B. Mor ‘ris and five seamen of the schooner Mary B. Judge, fromi Mobile for San Juan, were rescued in the early morning hours last Thursday by the steamer Julia Luckenbach, after a thrilling experience in the hurricane. The Luckenbach, under command of Captain W. J. Connell, ar rived here from New York to-day, having on board the schooner’s crew. dressed an enthusiastic gathering of the citi zens of Norwood, OHio, in the assembly room of The Mary B. Judge left Mobile for San Juan on August 8 with a cargo of lumber. She was due here the early part of September, but was delayed by calms in the early part of the voyage. She ran into a gale on September 19, and on the following day it had developed into a hurricane. The schooner’s masts were car ried away and she was absolutely helpless. The heavy seas opened her seams and she soon filled. The captain and his crew lashed them selves to the top of the poop, which was the only part of the vessel above water. All they had succeeded in saving was a little hardtack and a gallon of fresh water. The water was exhgusted in twenty-four hours, and the hardtack was doled out one to each man daily. On the 16th the men caught two gallons of rain, and when rescued at 1 a. m. on Thursday they still had a gallon left and eight pleces of hardtack. They had almost abandoned hope, realizing that their position was not in the regular course of vessels, but nevertheless a strict lookout was kept, the men taking turns at the watch although almost exhausted. Their hands and feet were badly swollen. The light of the Luckenbach was seen at 11:40 on Wednesday night. It looked like a tiny star in the far distance, but soon was made out to be a ship's light. With some matches and a few splinters chipped from the rail a fire was started in a tin bucket, and this was kept burning as long as the stock of matches held out. The Luckenbach was one hundred miles off her course, having taken that direction to avoid the hurricane. Thomas Haley, chief officer, sighted the little fire on the schooner several miles away and bore down. The sea was very rough, but volunteers, headed by the second mate, William A. Steele, were not wanting, and soon a lifeboat was launched. Coming close to where the men of the schoon er were huddled together, it was found impossi ble to bring the boat near enough to the wreck age to take them off, and, one by one, under orders from Steele, they leaped from the schoon er Into the sea and were dragged aboard. The rescued men were Bernard Russell, Alfred Har ris. Herbert Strand, Leon Freeman, Daniel Jack son and Captain Morris. The mate of the schooner, George McCoy, was swept overboard on September 15 and drowned. The rescue took place in latitude 26 degrees 18 minutes north, longitude 71 degrees 27 minutes west. TOWN MAY BE WIPED OUT Overdue Steamer Brings News of Disaster at St. Matthew. W. I. The first news of a disastar on phe island of Ina gua, In the West Indies, in which the town of St. Matthew may have been destroyed, reached here vesterday afternoon with the arrival of the steamer -Sibiria, of the Hamburg-American Line, four days overdue from Jamaica, after a terrific fight with the sea. St. Matthew is a tewn of about six or seven hundred inhabitants. On the 13th the Sibiria went close to the island while the West Indian storm was at its height. According to William Volimar, the chief officer, who is corroborated by other offi cers of the ship, they saw roofs of frame houses lifted high into the air. The officers say they saw many houses go down like pasteboard before the fury of the gale, while combers added to the mis chief of the wind “We had followed our usual method of taking on laborers at Inagua,” said Mr. Vollmar. “on our way down from New York, to have them handle bananas at the various West Indian ports we touch further south. It is customary on our way back for us to put the men off in small boats near Ina gua, and they then row to shore. On this occa gicn we couldn't trust any small boat in the high seas which were raging. Accordingly, we raised the flags of the code to indicate that we would keep the men aboard. bring them up to New York and leave them at Inagua later. There is a signal station on the shore, Mr. Sargent, the American consul, acting as our agent. We received no an swer. and the suppesition is that the station was destroyed. “It is probable that all the inhabitants living in the shacks along the shore fled to the interior. It was impossible for us to make out just how many hecuses had been destroyed, but a long continued duration of the storm near that section could result in a destruction of the entire property along the coast.” The Sibiria haa about thirty of the Inaguan laborers aboard. They were put to work at repalr ing damage which the storm inflicted on the steamer, and when she reached port yesterday no damage was apparent, although things had been pretty well smashed up during the trip. The men are all negroes. as are most of the inhabitants of Inagua, which is one of the Bahama group. The Stbirla sighted the Elder-Dempster steamer Port Henderson, a passenger liner, which had left Kingston at about the same time as the Sibiria, on September 11. In the morning of the following day the Port Henderson was still in sight. which indi cated that her troubles were not little. She is bound to Southampton, England. The Sibiria’'s fourteen passengers were a well scared lot. The after cabin was fiooded, as also was the dining room. The 25,000 bunches of ba nanas arrived in good condition. FAST PASSENGER TRAIN DITCHED. Engineer Killed, Fireman Hurt, but Pas sengers Escaped. Richmond. Va., Sept. 12.—A fast passenger train of the Chesapeake Ohio Rallread, from Newport News, bound for this city, was derailed to-day near l.anexa, near here. J. R. Chalkley, the en gineer, was killed, and the fireman, named Wake ly, severely injured. Several passengers were bad ly shaken up, but none seriously injured. The en gine turned over. Chalkley was forty-five years old, and had been in the employ of the road for thirty years. The cause of the accident is unknown. VATLUABLE VIOLIN STOLEN. John Hall, alias Willlam Wilson, of Ne. 555 At lantic avenue, was arrested late last night by four detectives from the Brooklyn detective bureau, charged wiih robbing Mics Norma Sautter, a mem her of the Olive Mead Quartet, living at Na. 101 St. Felix street, of a violin valued at $1,000 and five stage gowns. In connection with the theft the detectives also arrested Mamie Abott, of No. 280 Smith street, who, they say, received the stolen property. The violin had been sold to a musician’ for $5. The de tectives are looking for him and expect to recover ‘the instrument. PLANTERS 65C. BUNGALOE TEA 35C. LB. Cost that to grew It—-Advt Member of Yonkers Mob Shot At tacking Officer. Patrolman W. A. Kruppenbacher, of the Yon kers Police Department, was set upon and beaten as he attempted to quell a fight In a saloon in Main street, near the Yonkers rall road station, last night. He drew his revolver and, turning on his assailants, shot one of them, injuring him so badly that he dled later. Kruppenbacher was on duty at the railroad station, which was crowded with people return ing from an evening in New York, when his at tention was called to the fight. He entered the saloon and attempted to drive the fighters into the street. J They put aside their differences and turned on him. He was being badly beaten, despite assistance offered by a number of commuters, when he drew his gun and fired. The man, whose name was unknown, fell with a bullet in his groin, and was taken to St. Joseph's Hos pital. An hour after being taken to the hospital the man died without having regained comnscious ness. He was identified later as Annis Ander son, of No. 138 Webster avenue. Missing Fruiters at Jamaica—The Beacon’s Rough Trip. Kingston. Jamaica, Sept. 13.—Advices received here say that the last of the overdue fruit steamers, the Brewster, from Boston, and the Beacon, from Baltimore, have arrived safely at Port Antonio. Both were considerably battered by the hurricane, but are seaworthy and passed through the storm without injury to any one. The Beacon's fires were extinguished by the flooding of the ship by the high seas, and she was at the mercy of the gale for forty-eight hours. After the steamer got under headway again she sighted at the east end of Bird Rock a wrecked three-masted schooner. The Beacon signalled to her, but there was no answer, the schooner apparently Being deserted. The name of the vessel was not ascertained, but Is be lieved to be the William J. Lermond, which sailed from Philadelphia on August 22 with a cargo of 1.200 tons of coal for the Jamaican government. The steamer Vera, which has just arrived at Port Antonio, reports the Norwegian fruit steamer Yumuri, from Baltimore September 4, hard on the roeks at the end of Castle Island. Relief is being organized here to aid the resi cents of Turks and Caicos islands who suffered severely in the recent hurricane. Reports re ceived here state that greater damage has been done than was at first indicated. A public meet ing held here last night raised $1,000. Tele grams from Grank Turk say that relief is im perative and that timber is mest urgently re quired. The steamer Boston will sail from here on Monday with provisions for the sufferers. Georgia Legislature Passes Measure Doing Away with System. Atlanta. Sept. 19.—The extra session of the General Assembly finished fits work and ad journed sine die this afternoon after agreeing upon a bill which it is believed will effect the abolition of the convict lease system. The bill leaves any convicts not taken by counties on a pro rata distribution, not taken by municipal ities at $100 a year, or not needed on the state farm or other state institution to be disposed of at the discretion of the Governor and the Prison Commission. It is believed that this will end the lease system definitely on March 31, 1909. The main point of difference between the houses has been as to the disposition of those “oyers.” This morning the Senate unexpectedly receded from its position on the convict legis lation before it, and passed the measure abol ishing the convict lease system practically as it came from the House of Representatives. Baldwin Dirigible Balloon Tried Without Mishap. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 19.—The Baldwin dirigible war balloon made another ascent at the military tournament grounds in South St. Joseph this after noon, arising at 5:08 and desconding at 5:27.

Battle Creek, Mich, Sept. 19.—Minister Wu, who is spending a few days at the Battle Creek Sanatorium, said. to-day that he had no fear over the rumor that he is in danger of being recalled to China for being indiscreet. He said: When 1 was approached by a New York re porter, who told me that a Chinese-American alliance had been discussed by a Hong Kong editor. 1 replied, “That Is a very interesting subject”—surely a cautious, discreet reply. The story was distorted so-as to convey the im pression that I had committed myself and my government on the subject, and favored such an alliance. on the ground that it would be a means of thwarting the Japanese aggression in China. But it is absurd to say that my govern ment belleved that I had been indiscreet. BOMB FOR DEMOCRATS. Monnett Wants More Light on That $300 000. By Telegraph to The Tribune.) Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 19.—Former Attorney General Frank S.

He said: “Governor Haskell of Oklahoma will have to resign as custcdian of the funds of the na ional committee or there will be serious trou ble in the committee.

The facts were learned about 6 o'clock this evening, and a little later copies of two letters written by Sen ator Foraker were given out at his office. The first, addressed to John Hays Hammond, as president of the League of Republican Clubs, merely says, “I herewith inclose a selfexpiana tory letter that I have just sent to Judge Taft.™ The Inclosed letter is as follows: My Dear Judge Taft. I have read in the newspapers that some of your friends, and possibly you. are in doubt as to the propriety of my speaking with you at Music Hall next Tuesday night. I have con cluded not to be at the meeting. 1 take this action, not because I deem the answers I have made to Mr. Hearst's charges insufficient, nor because of any lack of loyalty to your cause, but only because I do not wish to do anything that might injure the cause or embarrass you per sonally. J. B. FORAKER. Senator Foraker said in giving out the corre spondence that his action was entirely volun tary and that he had received no direct com munication from Mr. Taft regarding the sifua tion. CALLS MADE BY SENATOR CRANE. The Foraker letters were given out at tha close of a day which was notable for the calls auspices of the national or the stats committes. of Senator Crane on Mr. Taft and Senator For aker, alternately, and while no information is given regarding the method by which Senator Foraker was led to write the letters it is re garded as certain that Mr. Taft refrained from making public the decision he reached yester day, with a view to conveying that decision to Mr. Foraker through the Massachusetts Sena tor. whose arrival to-day was expected and whose friendship for Mr. Foraker is well known. Senator Crane reached Cincinnati this morn ing, and fmmediately called on Mr. Taft. Next he went to Senator Foraker's office, and a It tle later he took luncheon at the Binton Hotsl with Senator Foraker, his son Benson Foraker and Senator Dick. After luncheon Mr. Crane returned to Senator Foraker's offics, and from there went to Mr. Taft's home, whers he re mained until called for by Senator Dick. He, then returned to Senator Foraker's office, and little later the Foraker letters were made publie. The Information that Mr. Taft decided yep« terday, as soon as he sew Mr. Foraker's first Tew ply to Mr. Hearst, not to appear on the same platform with the Senator on Tuesday evening is taken on all sides to indicate that the Sena~ tor will not participate in the Taft and It is regarded as doubtful if Mr. Foral will be asked to address any audience under While the differences between Mr. Taft and Senator Foraker have for a long time been fun damental, their personal relations have not been. strained, and when the national committee con sidered it advisable that Mr. Taft receive the overtures which Mr. Foraker was prepared to make. and for which he asked nothing except that he be permitted to declare his regularity and support the ticket, Mr. Taft made no ob jection, although his instructions whenever he referred to the subject were that there must be nothing in the nature of a “deal” between the national committee and the Senator, and no de viation from the absolute support of the Roose velit policies, which Mr. Foraker has criticised. Many of those who knew Mr. Taft and the Sen ator were skeptical from the first as to the length of time the two could maintain harmony, but so complete was dr. Foraker's acceptance of Mr. Taft as his leader that for a time it looked as if it might be possible for the entente to last through the campaign. MR. TAFT NEUTRAL ON SENATORSHIP. Whatever opinicn may be heid as to the legal ity of the course pursued by the Senator, it has been so contrary to Mr. Taft's views of what is proper that anything further in the way of an entente is thought to be impessible. Mr. Taft will probably not seek to influence the people of Ohio in their decision as to whether or not Mr. Foraker shouiC be returned to the Senate. He said long before his nomination that the respon sit {lity for choosing a Senator belonged to them alone, but it is practically certain that he wil make no arrangements for suppert from the Senator in his campaign for the Presidency. just as he received none In the contest for the nomi natoin. Mr. Taft spent the day at the home of his brother. Charles P. Taft, preparing some of the speeches he is to deliver on his coming trip, for which the arrangements are being actively pushed. The Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill wilh accompany Mr. Taft on this trip and deliver some addresses. It is probable that some other speaker will be chosen to accompany Mr. Taft all or part of the way. Dr. Hill reached Cin~ cinnati this evening. Practically the entire headquarters staff, fn cluding Arthur I. Vorys, will accompany Mr. Taft. and Dr. Richardson, a Washington throat specialist, will go along to give such service as may be made pecessary by the continuous speak ing which will be demanded of the candidate. Colonel Daniel Ramsdell, sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, will be in charge of the Taft spe cial train. There is a great demand from news papers who desire to send special correspondents on the trip, and the indications are that thers will be a sufficient party, including the corre spondents, to fill at least two Pullman sleepers, FORAKER RETURNED IT. 850 000 Archbold Draft Figured in Unsuccessful Newspaper Deal. Cincinnati Sept. 12.—As part of the purchase money in an unsuccessful deal for the ownership of “The Ohlo State Journal,” at Columbus. the draft for 30.000 mentioned In the Johm D. Arch bold letter made public last night In St. Louis by William R. Hearst, was received by Senator Fore aker, and cn the failure of the attempt to buy that paper the draft was returned and the inci dent forgotten, according to a statement given to The Assoclated Press by the Senator here to-day. Mr. Foraker declares that no one at any time ever pald him a cent or even suggested any such pay ment in consideration of anything he might do as a public man. The statement follows: J The production by Mr. Hearst of the letter of Mr. Archbold to me dated January 29, 1902, ring to a certificate of deposit inclosed for and expressing the that the transaction be safely gga d lustrates how ate the memery Appearantes ceive.

I L Annual Fall Sale of Exchanged ORCHESTRELLES A Magnificent Collection of Modern Instruments at Greatly Reduced Prices. OOK over this splendid list of instruments. If you know anything at all about the es ig 35 iG Lig

wr Orchestrelle, the question will not be, Can afford to buy one of those?” but, “Can afford to let this opportunity pass by?” Do not let any prejudice against used instruments restrain you from attending this sale. Orchestrelles are not like other instruments. Their tone actually improves instead of deteriorating with use. The Orchestrelle depends largely on the acoustic properties of wood for its tone. Violins and other 4 instruments which do the same do not lose value because of use. ZN Every instrument in this sale has been put into the very best possible condition, 7 both inside and out. These Orchestrelles look like new, and play as satisfactorily as when they were new. They did not come back to us because they were unsatisfactory in any respect. They Were Exchanged for the Solo Orchestrelle. Be This is a new “two-manual” Orchestrelle. It takes its name from the wonderful new cevice which enables its performer to select any tone he desires to play the air or solo of a composition. He can play the accompaniment on other tones which are softer and which contrast.

Anyone Can Play the Orchestrelle. Some of the greatest musicians of the world own Orchestrelles, yet anyone can play this wonderful instrument. All of the music with which you are now familiar you can play on the Orchestrelle. Its powers of orchestra tion and its many beautiful tones give edded beauty to the simplest piece. In addition you can play “overtures,” great orchestral “symphonies,” “offer tories,” ‘masses, cantatas —anything and everything you hear in the opera house, concert-hall or church.

He Says Senator Foraker’s State ment Is the Exact Truth. John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Company, said yesterday, when the statement of Senator For aker about tha $0,000 draft was called to his at tention, “That is exactly so; it is the truth.” “T had about forgotten the incident,” said Mr. Archbold, “when it was recalled to my mind by the publication of the story. As I recall it now, Senator Foraker thought that he could consum mate the deal for the purchase of ‘The Ohio State Journal,” and I sent him the draft for $0,000 as a temporary loan until he could finance the under taking. The negotiations fell through, and the Sen ator returned the $0,000 draft intact. That is the whole truth in the matter and really all there is $y it PRICE BILLS WERE KILLED. i Measures in Ohio Legislature to Which Standard 0il Ohiected. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 19.—The Price bills, re ferred to in the correspondence between John D. Archbold and Senator Foraker, were killed by the Ohio I.egislature. The author of the measures distasteful to the Standard Oil Company was Aaron A. Price, of Athens County, who was the defegted candidate of Mr. Foraker for Speaker of the House in the Foraker-Hanna fight for con trol of the organization. The Price bills referred to were House bills 463 to 500 of that session. Section 9, which was the same in the two bills, was what the Standard ob jected to. No. 469 sought to require all corpora tions to report annuzlly to the Secretary of State, and the ninth item which they were to be required to report was a list of all stockholders, the num ber of shares held by each and the postoffice ad dress of all shareholders. No. 50 sought to require only foreign corporations to do this. The journal of the House of Representatives of 1200 shows that Price bill No. 469 was reported from the Judiciary Committees with a recommendation for passage. When it came up on the calendar a few days later it was referred to Price as a select committee of one. On April 11, 190, Price reported back a sub stitute, with the provision for reporting stock holders dropped out. The substitute passed the House, but was never acted on by the Senate, so did not become a law. Price bill No. 5 was re ported for passage from the Judiciary Committee of the House on March 14, 190, weeks before the Legislature adjourned, but it died on the calendar, for the journal makes mo record of it after being reported from the committee. HUGHES TO TAKE FORAKER'S PLACE. Senator Not to Speak at Camp Taft Mass Meetino Governor Hughes has been substituted for Sena tor Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, as the principal speaker at the Republican mass meeting at Camp Taft, 125th street and Third avenue, on the night of October 1. The understanding at pressnt is that Senator Foraker will not be at the meeting.

The change in the programme was a direct re sult of the publicity given by William R. Hearst to correspondence between John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Company, and Senator Foraker, in which it appeared that Mr. Foraker acted as counsel for the Standard Oil Company, but it can not at present be called a cancellation of Senator Foraker’'s engagement here. It was learned that another diplomatic shift had been made, with the understanding that Senator Foraker should be bilied to speak the following night at the same place, with Leslie M. Shaw, ex Secretary of the Treasury. Whether the change was made with the knowledge of the Ohio Senator could not be learned. The feeling at national headquarters is that Sen ator Foraker will cancel his engagement to speak at the convention of the National League of Re publican Clubs in Cincinnati on Tuesday, and that this will mean that he will not take further part in the campaign, TRIPS FOR MR. SHERMAN. Tours of Illinois, Indiana and West ern States Planned. "Chicago, Sept. 19.—Senator Dixon, at Republican national headquarters, announced to-day that James 8. Sherman, Vice-Presidential candidate, after opening the Western campaign with a speech in Chicago, under the auspices of the Hamilton Club, on September 28, would take a three-day trip through Illinois on a special train, making ten minute speeches from the car platform at points not scheduled for set addresses, and would com plete the trip by addressing an audience at the Rock Island Exposition on the afternoon of Octo ber 2. On October 3 Mr. Sherman will speak at Evans ville, Ind., and will then make a tour over part of the lHoosier State. later in the campaign Mr. Sherman will visit states west of the Mississippi. Congressman Nicholas Longworth will accompany Mr. Sherman on the trip through Illinois.

Busy Answering Congratulatory Letters from the West. Governor Hughes co ferred yesterday at the Hotel Astor with Chairman Hitchcock of the Re publican National Committee; Herbert Parsons, president of the Republican County Committee; Charles A. Moore, of the American Protective Tariff League; Willlam R. Wilicex, president of the Public Service Commission; Lafayette B. Gleason, secretary of the Republican State Committee; John Hutchinson, director of the speakers’ bureau of the state committee; Samuel 8. Koenig, candidate for Secretary of State, and Senator Agnew. The Gov= ernor reached town at noon and returned to Al bany last evening. Since the renomination of Governer Hughes he has received many thousands of letters from the West, the Middle West, and even from Pacific Coast states, congratulating him not enly upon his ‘renomination, but also upon his Youngstown (Ohio) speech. The Governor's secretary, Robert H. Ful ler, and his military secretary, Colonel George Cur tis Treadwell, have been busy trying to reply to these communications, but Colonel Treadwell says the number is growing hourly. Governor Hughes will speak for the national committee on September 28, 25 and 20 in Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia. On October 1, as already announced, he will be the principal speaker at the meeting at Camp Taft, and the remainder of the week will be given to speaking in this city. The following week, beginning on Monday, October 5, the Governor will give to speaking in the Middle West, probably making one speech in Kansas. He plans to be back in New York on October 12. Mr. Taft will be here on October 28 for the big meeting in Madison Square Garden, at which Gov ernor Hughes also will speak. On October 28 Gov ernor Hughes and Mr. Taft will speak in Syracuse, on October 30 in Rochester and the next night in Buffalo. Ex-Secretary Shaw and ex-Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, have offered their ser vices to the national committee. Chairman Hitchcock, who leaves here this after noon for Chicago, expects to be back on Wednes day morning. Congressman Arthur IL. Bates, of Meadville, Penn., said yesterday at headquarters that his state was good for 300,000 majority on the national tick et. “We never were in better shape for a cam paign,” he added.

The late campaigns in Eastern states were the subject of inquiries at the Republican national headquarters yesterday, and Mr. Hitelicock said the delay had been intentional. He called attention to rr var ref Wl agree the fact that the New Jersey state convention had not been held and that the conventions in other states were late this year because of primary elec tions. Chairmen of Republican finance committees were appointed yesterday as follows: yest Virginia, C. W. Dillon, of Fayetteville; Virginia, I. N. Nicho las, of Norfolk; North Carolina, Thomas S. Rollins, of Asheville; South Carolina, L. W. C. Blalock, of Goldville; Kentucky, Willlam D. Cochran, of Mays ville. According to gossip in Republican circles, all the Republican Congressmen, Messrs. Parsons, Olcott and Bennet, will be renominated. Senator Agnew will be renominated. Ex-Assemblyman Alexander Brough will be nominated in the place of Senator Martin Saxe, and ex-Assemblyman Josiah T. New comb in the place of Senator Alfred R. Page George Henry Payne is slated for the Assembly nomination in the 35th District. There is some talk of nominating James E. March for Congress in the Sth District, where the Democratic plurality is overwhelming. All the Republican Assemblymen will be renominated, and it is the present intention to renominate Surrogate Charles H. Beckett. The speakers’ bureau at county committee head quarters will open to-day under the direction of John Bovle. ir. CALLS H UGHES UNFAIR.

McCarren Now Demands Democrats for Judicial Nominations.

Senator McCarren, in a statement issued vester day, accused Governor Hughes of unfairness in making judicial appointments, and declared for the nomination of Democratic judiciary candidates in Kings. McCarren will control the convention, and it is probable that a Republican will not be named, as had been planned, and that Isaac M. Kapper, attorney for McCarren in his trouble with Murphy, will get one of the nominations. Justice Stapleton, a Democrat, would be his log feal running mate. Although he has made no pub lic statement regarding the nominations, there is every indication that the justice will refuse to run on the Democratic ticket unless the judicial con vention also names the Republican justice, Abel 8S. Blackmar. In that event it is likely that Samuel S. Whitehouse will be nominated as Kapper’'s run ning mate. Justices Blackmar and Stapleton will be nominated by the Republicans. Senator Mec Carren's statement follows: The sentiment of our organization, so far as I can find it expressed through the leaders, is al most unanimously in favor of the nomination of two Democrats for the Supreme Court vacancies. When Judge Bartlett was elected to the Court of Appeals, we felt that Governor Hughes should have appointed a Democrat, inasmuch as the Democrats were in the majority in the judicial district. He saw fit to appoint a Republican, against whose confirmation the Democrats in the Senate voted unanimously with one exception. At the time I took occasion to call attention to the unfairness of Governor Hughes and to pro test against the confirmation of Justice Black mar. My position has not changed 1 believe in all fairness that we are entitled to the two places in question, and, from a bi-partisan stan point, there can be no doubt about the justness of our claim. If two Democratic Supreme Court judges were to die to-morrow and Governor Hughes saw fit to appoint a Republican and a Democrat, there would be no justness in the claim that we should indorse the Republican because Governor Hughes saw fit to appoint him. The question with which we have to deal is analogous to that, and because two Democratic va cancies occurred in Governor Hughes's time, and he saw fit to appoint a Republican for one of them, there is no reason why we should approve his actions. It is our desire to preserve the non olitical character of the judiciary and in insist ng on a fair representation we think we are keep

Calls Democratic Opponent in Missouri “Re ceiver of Stolen Nomination.” Ry Telegran™ to Tha Trikiine 1 [By Telegraph to The Tribune Springfield, Mo., Sept. 19. —Attorney General Had ley. the Republican nominee for Governor, opened his state campaign here to-day. He declared his Democratic opponent, Mr. Cowherd, ‘receiver of a stolen nomination,” and called upon Cowherd to name the men who subscribed £5,000 which Lawler P. Daly, chairman of the St. Louis Democratic Central Committee, says he knows was used in Cowherd’s interest in St. Louis at the primary elec tion. Hadley charged that the public service corpora tions of St. Louis and the lawless saloon element gave material! aid to Cowherd's candidacy and were supporting him. “I,” continued Hadley, ‘“‘de clare unrelenting opposition to the lawless saloon keeper who seeks to nominate and elect our pub lic officials.” Hadley asserted that he had forced the oil com panies to obey the laws, saving Missouri $600,000 a year, and that he had reduced the premiums paid to fire insurance companies by $300,000 a year, and forced the railroads to obey tha 2-cent fare law. WALDO NOT SEEKING RENOMINATION. Says Opposition to Him Is Due to His Sup port of Hughes and His Measures. Representative George E.

The feeling against him is said to be bitter among the Republicans in the district since the March primaries, when he made a fight in the 19th Assem bly District against Naval Officer J. H. Kracke, the leader, who won. In his statement of vesterday Mr. Waldo attrib uted his withdrawal to the opposition of the organi zation leaders, who resented his support of Geov ernor Hughes and direct nominations. Richard Young will probably be the candidate for Waldo's place.

“Whatever of opposition to my renomination may exist with the organization leaders has arisen prin cipally from the active part I took in the cam paign for direct nominations and in support of Governor Hughes,” said Mr. Waldo. “In view of the attitude of the Kings County delegation toward Governor Hughes at the last national and state conventions, and of the opposition of the Kings County Republican organization to legislation reec ommended by Governor Hughes for direct nomina tion, my actions seem to have been justified.” Mr. Waldo announces his intention to support Taft and Sherman.

That Bryan has consented to speak under McCarren auspices shows that the national committee purposes to recogniz> him. al though the state committee since the Carnegie Hall convention in the spring has insisted on recognizing George V. 8.

Borough President Coler of Brooklyn saw Chairman Mack vesterday in an attempt to get him to sidetrack Senater McCarren, but he got no satisfaction. Senator MeCarren announced vesterday that Lewis Stuyvesant Chanier., Democratic candidate for Governor, would also be in the Bryan party on the Brooklyn tour. The biggest meeting will be held in the Clermont Rink. There will be at least three other meetings, on2 probably in the new Academy of Music. z Concerning his talk with Mr. Bryan, Senator McCarren said yesterday: “I told Mr. Bryan that I was positive that he would carry Brooklyn by a large majority. 1 am confident of that.

Ld BONAPARTE TO BRYAN. Replies Sharply to Charge of Leac ing Trust Magnates Free. Baltimore, Sept. i3.—Attorney General Bonaparte, who was in Baitimorc to-day, made a sharp answer to the charge which William Jennings Bryan has been repeating frequently of late, that the present administration had not squared its performances with its promises by putting some trust magnate in jail. i “From the time I became Aftorney General to the present,” said Mr. Bonaparte, “it has heen the earnest desire of the President, as well as my own, to do that very thing in a proper case. 1 have beer compelled, however, to advise against such a prosecution in every instance suggested bDe cause 1 did not believe it would be successful, and I did not wish to give the defendant the benefit of an uamerited whitewash. “In the case of nearly all the great trusts, the combinations and consolidations to whieh individ nals prominent in their management were parties,” he went on, “as such, tock place from ten to twen ty vears ago, and even if they occurred after the enactment of the Sherman anti-trust law, had long since been barred by limitations when I assumed fv present office. You will remember that with respect to crimes against the United States the period of limitations is only three years. “In our report upon the postal frauds,” Mr. Bonaparte continued, “‘Holimes2 Conrad and 1 suggested that this period ought to be lengthened, and the President so recommended: but the Con gress took no action on tne subject It is, of course. true that officers of corporaticns can be held responsible criminally for corporate acts in which they are proved beyond a reazonable doubt to have individually participated; but while it is comparatively easy io prove the act of the cor poration. it is usually very difficuit. often alto gether impossible, to obtain legal evidence to con viet individual officers as participants. “While, therefore,” said Mr. Bonaparte, “I am well aware that certain newspapers and other pur veyors to the public of what Speaker Cannon calls ‘wind and ink’ have been crying out loudly for some trust magnate to be put behind the bars, I have always found this advice to be of the same character as that generally given by bystanders to the smaller boy in a street fight, namely, ‘Go in and win! which, as Dickens wisely remarks, is an excellent thing to do when one can do it, hut not an especially good thing to try to do when one can't.”

Mr. Bonaparte said that the government prose cuticn of the Standard Oil Company, the coal car ryving railroads and the powder trust and the work of his office in defence of the commodities clause of the Hepburn act were being pushed vigorously. anciv

STILL. FOR FREE SILVER. Columbus (Ohio) Man Has Some Correspondence with Bryan. {By Teiegraph to The Tribune.’ Chicago, Sept. 19.—Does W. J. Bryan still be lieve in the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 17? James B. Ross, of Columbus, Ohio, had the curiosity to seek an answer to the question. He wrote to Mr. Bryan last March. and in reply received a letter in May. Mr. Ross refuses to make Mr. Brayn’'s letter public, as it was marked “personal.” Mr. Bryan has since refused to per mit the letter to be made public. His reply, however, is revealed in a second letter written to Mr. Bryan under date of June 24. The sec ond letter begins as follows:

Columbus. Ohio, June 24, 1908. My Dear Sir: iI am in receipt of your es teemed favor of May 12, in reply to my letter to you of March 23 last, wherein vou state that your argument in 1886 in support of free coin age of gold and silver at the ratic of 16 to 1 was sound, and that if conditions were the same now as then it would be an issue, and that you would support it with the same energy you did then. In answer thereto I beg leave to submit

the following. Then foliowed Captain Ross's own views on the money question. He closed by saying: While vou admit that the silver question is removed from politics, yet you maintain that were the conditions now as they were then it would be an issue, and you would support it with the same energy 2s vou did then, therehHy maintaining error, for if your argument twelve vears ago rested on a false basis time cannot cure the error. You were then and are now the leader of oae of the great political parties, and if you have been wrong for the jast twelve years on such a vital question, affecting our government and our people, you may advocate many other questions equally detrimental to our people, [By Telegraph to The Tribune.?

iw w 8 FARLEY A SURPRISE Nominee for State Engineer Claimed as McCarren Man.

Philip F. Farley, the young candidate for State Engineer on the Democratic ticket, whe was Sprung on Senator McCarren by his opponents in Hinge County at the state convention, was the centre of attraction at the latter end of a vaude ville entertainment cf the Kings County Demo erotic Club in Breokivyn last night, one of the features of which was the indorsement of the state and national tickets.

Farley reached the club laie, in tow of James S. Regan, the McCarren leader of ihe 5th Assembly District, who says that the candidate has always heen with the MeCarren organization and voted for it at the recent primaries. This will be a sur prize to many who believe Farley to be un anti McCarren man because he was nominated by one ot tho insurgent leaders. Senator MeCarren did know who he was when he was nominated. Regan said that if elected, Farley would act with the regular MeCarrer organization. The candidate was first introduced to Controller Metz, presiTent of the club, who was presiding, and then to the assembled members of the club, ‘who: gave him a cordial reception. Senator McCarren, who made a speech in which he devoted most of his time to criticising President Roosevelt's policies, had departed to meet another engagement wien Mr. Farley arrived. Among those at the smoker were Samuel 8. Whitehouse and Commissioner Bassett, of the Public Service Commission. Controller Metz sald the directors of the club throught the *stag,” which had already been ar ranged, would be a good time not only to indorse the ticket but also ‘“‘to express our loyalty and the high regard we feel for our leader—Senator McCarren.” The Senator was loudly cheered.

“He's the whitest, squarest pclitician I ever knew,” said the Controller. “With all the investi gations that have taken place they have never found him guilty of any dereliction cf duty. When to-day we hear of all sorts of people who accept retainers from corporations we are proud to say that no one has ever proved that he has been mixed up in this sort of thing.

“We fully appreciate the stand you have taken, Senator, and we are with veu in the fight you have made against the dictation of outside organiza tions.”

A resolution was passed indorsing the national end state tickets and pledging to the candidates “unswerving allegiance and support.” In speak ing on the resolution, Senator McCarren referred to his talk with Mr. Bryan on Friday. “I am vio lating no confidence,” he said, “when I say to you that T told him the Democrats of Kings County were opposed to the policies of President Roosevelt. 1 believe they are the issue.”

i

H The Senator sald it did not seem necessary this year to pass resolutions of support. “We have quite a different state of things this year.” he added, “than the one that confronted us two years ago. Now we have no candidate who is threatening the organization with disruption. This condition, I am happy to say, has been removed. We are in a condition of unity.

“With reference to local conditions, 1 believe we have settled for all time the question as to whether or not we shall tolerate foreign interfer ence. We have decided we are competent to rule

ourselves. “T'nless the gentlemen who are conducting the

forlorn hope against us are in a much more be nighted condition than I suspect, I believe they will soon desist in their efforts.”

The Senator said that the outlook for Democratic success in Kings had not been so bright in years. “I am glad to say,” he declared, “that those who have been following the leadership of the man who is trying te defeat both our national and state tickets .1ave had their eyes opened. The only vo cation of that man is to satisfy his desire for re venge.'’

HEAEST ON HASKELL. Renews His Charges Against Bryan's Treasurer.

Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 19.—William R. Hearst and Thomas L. Hisgen, the Presidential candidate of the Independence party, addressed a well filled nouse at a local theatre to-night. Mr. Hearst was the first speaker. He plunged right into his charges against Governor C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma, say ing that he would not allow the Attorney General of Oklahoma to secure an Injunction against a subsidiary corporaticn of the Standard Oil Com pany.

Mr. Hearst also read a letter alleged to have been written by Representative Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and addressed “My Dear Mr. A.” in which the writer stated that the corporations had a strong friend in “Senator B.”” Mr. Hearst read another letter purporting te have been writ ten by John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Com pany, to Mr. Sibley, saying: ‘‘We are anxious to have a talk with Senator Bailey.”

Mr. Hearst left here on a late train for New York, where he will attend the sessions of the state convention of the Independence party, to be held in Cooper Union September 24, Mr. Hearst in his speech here cited the reeent action of Governor Haskell in annuiling an action brought by the Attorney General of Oklahoma te enjoin the Prairie Oil and Gas Company from lay ing pipe lines. Mr. Hearst said the company is a Standard Oil coneern.

GOVERNOR HASKELL'S DENIAL Says There Is No Truth in Hearst Standard 0il Charges. Chicage, Sept. 19.—In the face of the assertion of Mr. Hearst at St. Iouls that an affidavit signed hy F. S. Monnett, ex-Attorney General of Ohio, identi fied Governor C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma as hav ing been a party to alleged Standard Oil negotia tions, Governor Haskell to-day declared that the statements were absolutely false. “The sssertion that IT had anything to do with the Standard Oi! Company is absolutaly false,” said Governor Haskell. “On the day the affidavits are said to have been signed, September 12, 1908, Mr. Monnett was in Oklahoma City, and on that day made a speech, in which he exonerated me from all connection with the Standard Oil matter. It is unbelievabie that any man would make such a speech and on the same day sign an affidavit stating the contrary thing. There is no truth in the charges.” GLAD CHAIRMAN HAS RESIGNED. Mr. Hearst Gives His Opinion of Men Who Leave His Partv.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19.— William Randolph Hearst, in a dispatch to E. E. Clapp. national committec man from Georgia for the Independence party, de clared that he was glad to hear of the resignation of the chairman of the State Executive Committee of the party, Bernard Suttler, and closed with these words:

“J am as proud of the kind of men that leave the party as I am of the kind who stand nobly by the party. This is a fight to the end.”

CRAVES KILLS A “CANARD.” John Temple Graves, candidate for VicePresi dent on ithe Independence party ticket, vesterday made public two telegrams from Atlanta to combat what he calls the campaign canard that Yancey Carter, Independence party candidate for Governor of Georgia, would not support the national ticket. One telegram is from Mr, (Carter, in which he expresses regret at the friction between the na tional and local committees of the Independence party, but declares that he intends to support the national ticket. The othe~ jelegram, from E. H. Goodhart, jr., expresses his admiration for Will jam Randolph Hearst, and declares that both ('ar cer and the national ticket will have Tiis support.

3UNE., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908 U.S. DISPENSATORY Describes the Principal! ingredicnats Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Contained in Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chroniccatarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity such a catarrh remedy? Let ussce what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or gelden seal The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca tarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of dis eases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory asa tonic. Soalso is cubebs classed asa stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds isanother ingredient of Peruna, an excelient drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysen tery, and in intermittent diseases asa substitute for quinine. 0il of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimu lant and dinretic. Itactson thestom ach and intestinal tract. It acts asa stimulant on the genito-urinary mem branes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys.

F. C.MARRIN ARRESTED CHASE OF 13 YEARS ENDS. “Judge Franklin Stone” Charged S S with Part in Gigantic Swindles. C. MARRIN ARRESTED "HAASE OF 13 YEARS ENDS. “Judge Franklin Stone” Chargea with Part in Gigantic Swindles. A chase lasting more than thirteen years end ed last night in the arrest of Franklin C. Marrin, a lawyer, who is charged specifically with the forgery of a mortgage for $4,000 on the property upon which the Jefferson Club house of Brook I¥n now stands, but who is eredited by District Attorney John F. Clarke of Brooklyn with being invelved in swindling schemes which netted millions to the promoters.

Marrin, the District Attorney savs, was en trusted with $70,000 by Mrs. Caroline Barry, who died a recluse in the basement of her home on Greene avenue, Brooklyn, last vear. Instead of placing the money in bonds as directed he is charged with appropriating the sum, giving forged bonds and mortgages to the widow. When Mrs. Barry began to grow suspicious Marrin disappeared. He was indicted, and the long chase began.

Marrin was heard from some time later in Philadelphia, where he was mixed up in the Story Cotton Company, which, it was said, made nearly $3,000,000) in a swindling operation. With the exposure Marrin disappeared from Phila delphia. He was indicted for using the mails for fraudulent purposes and the government Se cret Service men got on his trail. He next turned up in Paris, France, where, District Attorney Clarke says, he was in a big champagne scheme which netted him consid erable money. Arrangements were being made to bring about his arrest in Paris, when he dis appeared from that place, and word next came that he was in Canada. This was about a year and a half ago. He was heard from next in Philadelphia, but left there before the Brooklyn detectives arrived.

It was in Philadelphia that he assumed the name of Judge Franklin Stone, District Attor ney Clarke says, and was making money fast in a new scheme. When the detectives looked for Judge Franklin Stone they were shown an aged, white haired man, and decided they were on a false trail. District Attorney Clarke says the Philadelphia authorities played a hcax on the Brocklyn detectives by producing the wrong man. In Buffalo the federal authorities seized Mar rin on a charge of fraudulent use of the mails. He was taken to Philadelphia, and last Febru ary was found guilty and sentenced to serve four years in prison. He took an appea! and was released on bail. Then cnce more he dis appeared. Mrs. Barry obtained a judgment against Mar rin for $34,000. Marrin heard of her death and petitioned to have the judgment set aside. This was to have been heard to-morrow before Jus tice Stapleton. Last night, as Marrin sat with some friends in a saloon at Sixth avenue and 42d street, Dis trict Ajtorney Clarke and Detective Jeremiah Murphy, of Inspector Miceffenty s staff, entered the place.

“Hello, Frank,” said Clarke. don’t you?”

“Oh, yes: “You know me,

I know you, Mr. Clarke,” returned i Marrin, without budging from his seat. “How are things over in Brooklyn?” ““Abcut the same,” returned Clark. “We have

i a warrant for vou, Frank, and must ask you to step across the bridges with us.”

“All right,” answered Marrin, and, after ex cusing himself to his friends, he arose and went with Clarke and the detective to Police Head

quarters. District Attorney that Marrin was visiting in New York and knew

as ('larke savs that he learned he was a*friend of a saloonkeeper at 42d street and Sixth avenue, and through that his detec-

id, tives found their man. Marrin was locked up in Brooklyn last night, He gave his home as in Philadelphia. The Dis trict Attornev says he had planned to “hang out his shingie” as lawyer in the bluilding on Sixth avenue a part of which is occupied by the saloon in which he was arrested.

Spinners Not Inclined To Be Idle in Hard Winter. COTTON STRIKE LIKELY A COMPROMISE POSSIBLE. Spinners Not Inclined To Be Idle in Hard Winter. [Special by French Cable to The Tribune. A TE Ty YY eres RE ae aw London, Sept. 19.—While a great strike is impending in the Lancashire cotton trades, the resources of conciliation have not yet been ex hausted The operatives at first decided to offer strenuous resistance to a reduction in wages of 5 per cent after January. and then reversed their action, 27 per cent of the spinners em ployed forcing the remainder to continue at work. The demand of the cardroom amalgamation for a fortnight's respite for a second ballot was unwisely refused by the employers, and this commits this branch of ihe trade unionists to &n immediate strike. The action of any single amalgamation binds the whole body of cotton workmen. The cardroom operatives can paralyze the whole trade if they persist in demanding a strike. but with considerable force the spin ners are disinclined to face extremities during what threatens t® be a strenuous winter. A compromise will probably be speedily effected, even if there be a temporary lockout The sudden slump in shipbuilding, following the calamitous labor disputes, is a warning of what may happen to the cotton industry if the peacemakers fail. These labor movements, when times are unusually hard, have imparted great §mportance te Winston Churchill's proposals for the establishment of a permanent arbitration court on the lines of the Hague tribunal. A court of this sort could easily settle the con troversy now pending in the cotton trade, The trade unionists prefer, however, to deal directly with a practical politician like Mr. Churchill, because their voting power in general elections $s formidable. They are not prepared to accept special panel of available chairmen and are far from committing themselves to compulsory arbitration on the lines followed in New Zealand for the iast fourteen wvears. L°'N.F. MANY MILLS TO CLOSE TO-MORROW.

Manchester, Sept. 12.—The wage dispute between the employers and the cotton operatives has not reached a settlement, ana it is now certain that a majority of the mills will not open next Monday. The card combers are still in consultation, but no communication has vet passed between them and the employers’ federztion. ROBERT GOELET BUYS OLD CHATEAU.

WRONG FOOD London Theatre Managers Depict Scenes in Fashionable Life. RT A TT TE By RE mB So SR Ns Sle vb London, Sept. 19.—The managers of the Lon don theatres are acting on the theory that their audiences find entertainment in glimpses of wealth and luxury. Nearly all the new plays deal with the pleasures and temptations of fash jonable life, and since business is much better than it was during the spring and summer the managers seem well advised in giving the pref erence to riches and shutting out poverty from the stage. Sir Arthur Collins is following the same line at Drury Lane, after surrendering the theatre for several! years to emotional melo drama. Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton have joined hands in portraying Mayfair marriages and have provided a suitable environment for high life, with glimpses of Rumpeimayer’s tea rooms, a Stately country house, pheasant cov erts, a splendid landed estate and other acces sories of gilded existence. Even Albert Chevalier, who has recently im personated a workhouse lodger with effective realism, now takes an upward flight as Lord Adolphus Villiers. The dramatists are careful not to soar above the heads of the people in the galleries, for they introduce a mixed lot of music hall favorites, racetrack speculators and resent ful servants. Americans are crowding homeward on the steamers, yet new faces are constantly seen at the hotels and theatres. Joseph Leiter has come ‘up from his country house. Dr. W. W. Keen, of Philadelphia, is sailing to-day after a long holiday of eighteen months. E. R. Kennedy is on the Baltic with a large party of Americans. Dr. Warner, of Boston, ig here for a brief visit. Andrew Carnegie will be in New York early in Qctober. There is gossip about a wedding early next week which wili interest Americans. It will require a special license from the Archbishop of Canterbury and will be a secret affair, with youthful bride and bridegroom. Boswell receives long deferred honors at Lichfield to-day, where a statue is unveiled by Dr. Robertson Nicoll, the substitute chosen at the last moment owing to the unfortunate end ing of Churton Collins's career. I NF TRANSMUTING ELEMENTS Experts Believe Power of Radium Is Vastly Overestimaled. {Copyrigat, 190%, DY The 1TI0UnNe AStotiatiull. i London, Sept. 19.—The opinion of chemists re specting the sensational accounts of the trans mutation of elements through radium is forcibly expressed by experts in to-day's “Times.” They consider that the powers of radium have been vastly overrated and that the changes effected by it in other bodies are the products of un bridled fancy rather than chemical action. Ex periments conducted with radium are enormous ly expensive, and the investigators are inclined to justify them by premature forecasts of the conversion of copper into lithium and of silver into gold. But these guesses at random have not been substantiated by any decisive results. Honest workers like Professor Ramsay and Professor Rutherford admit that the hopes entertained by them during the last two years have not yet been justified by positive achievement. They are weary of making contradictions of sensa tional stories constantly appearing in the press, although they are not vet convinced that Lord Kelvin was right in holding to the atomic theory and declaring that scientific miracles were im poegible.

The men who led the mob attacked Don José with a stone, whereupon Domingo Cal dana, bookkeeper at the ranch, killed the leader with a rifie. The mob then charged the house with stones and guns, and the family barricaded them selves and defended the place, telephoning to Lerdo for troops. Four hours later troops arrived there on a special train, and the mob fled. Five wound ed men were captured and placed in jail, and Don José and his family wera escorted to Torreon.

General Tremeau's Skill Slates Him for Commander-in-Chief. [Special by French Cable to The Tribune. rConvright 1908 by The Tribune Association, RAAT A a I Ta a ey Paris, Sept. 19.—The French military maneu vres, which terminated yesterday, in the opinion of the foreign officers wro attended them, show that the efficiency of the army has attained a higher point than ever. The most significant lesson of the manceuvres is the admirable man ner in which the commanders of ‘the armies and of the army corps have undergone the se vere tests arranged for them by General La croix, commander in chief and director of the manceuvres. It to-day is an open secret that General Tremeau, by the remarkable skill, prompt decision and rapidity of movement he displayed in leading his army, is universally admitted to be the ablest of all the French commanders, and has been selected to succeed General Lacroix as generalissimo when the lat ter is retired by the age limit, in 1909. It is noted that of the seven generals who took leading parts in the manceuvres on the Loire no fewer than six—Lacroix, Millet, Bazaine, Hayter, Blancq and Roydot—will be retired within four months. General Tremeau is a man of great physical activity, and alttpugh one of the senior members of the superior war council is one of the voungest in point of years. He has the full confidence of the army. Foreign officers who have followed the manceuvres admit that this has been a signal triumph for the French foot soldier, whose marching powers far exceed those of any other infantry in Kurope. At the German mancuvres in Alsace-Lorraine last week the foreign attachés estimated the loss from footsoreness at nearly 20 per cent, while in the French mancuvres it was under 2 per cent. "The 31st Regiment of the line in four suc cessive days marched twenty-five miles a day, and the halts were occupied largely in digging, yet out of the total of 2,100 only seven men had to be sent to hospital. The 76th Regiment, brigaded with it, worked equally hard, and had only five men in hospital out of an effective force of 2,227 men. The troops were fed splendidly, and the new fleld cooking stove proved highly successful. Colonel Cousin, commanding the 76th Infantry Regiment, issued to each man daily an extra ration of thirty Jumps of sugar. The foreign observers also state that there was not the slightest trace dur ing the manceuvres of slackness of discipline, about which so much has been written. There is nothing of the rigid automaton in the French army, but the morale is admirable. The feeling permeates all ranks that every one is a soldier and comrade, working for a common end. Owing to the reforms carried out by General Picquart, the Minister of War, the French in fantry soldier, hitherto carrying the heaviest weight of any soldier in.Europe, has had the weight of his marching baggage and utensils diminished by seven pounds a man. C.LB THE FON IS WRECKED. Passengers, Including Officers Wives, Camp on Christmas Island. Victoria, B. C., Sept. 12.—Cable advices from Fanning Island say that the steamer Hon, which left San Francisco on July 8 for Auckland by way of Apia and was long overdue, was carried on Christmas Island by strong currents setting in shore, and became a total wreck. The ship's com pany, fifty in.all, took to the beats and landed at a small settlement facing the lagoon, all safe. There were four women and two children, in cluding wives of officers of the United States bat tieship fleet, who took passage to join their hus bands in Australia. All are camping on Christmas Island awaiting rescue. The Alon is fast on the coral island, partly full of water and wrecked beyond hope of salvage, but the five hundred bags of mail aboard have been saved. The cargo included salmon, two million feet of redwood and some gasolene engines. One of these was fitted in a ship's boat to take Captain Downie, the second officer, and two engineers to Fanning Island, lying 140 miles northwest, to send news of the disaster by cable. Some of the salmon and general merchandise was recovered and taken ashore with the ship's boat and a stock of water procured, the supply on Christmas Island being poor. Captain Downie had a difficult time reaching Fanning Island. The engine fitted in the ship's boat refused to work, and the boat was rowed back’ to Christmas Island, where it was refitted. After a long trip the captain reached Fanning Island vesterday morning. The boat's crew was treated kindly by the staf? of the Fanning Island cable station. The steamer Manuka, of the Canadian-Ausiralian Line. fortunately, is to make a call at Fanning Island to land supplies on her present voyage, and je due on Tuesday next. It is expected that she will call at Christmas Island and take off the Aon castaways, who will be landed at Sydney by the Manuka. Meanwhile, the survivors have plenty of food and water, and there is shelter for the wom “en in the houses of a working camp of some pearl fishermen employed by a British company.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 10.—The percentage of mortality of cholera cases has increased, and is now over 50 per cent. Between four hundred and five hundred new cases were reported to day. The figures do not show any material in crease from those for the previous twenty-four hours. Premier Stolypin, accompanied by the Prefect of St. Petersburg, General Dracheffski, last night visited several of the cholera hospitals in the city. He fearlessly entered the cholera wards and questioned the patients with regard to the treatment they were receiving. The action of the Premier has created a most favorable im pression.

Unshaken confidence prevails here and at Le Mans that the invention of the Wright brothers is far and away ahead of anything of the kind yet devised. The utmost sympathy with the Wrights is expressed. None of the French ex perts think for a moment that the sad accident will affect in any way the development of aerial navigation. The feeling in France is voiced by M. Vuil laume, who says that this is another instance of the inexorable law that every victory of man over nature has to be marked by a loss of life. «XB VIEWS OF FRENCH EXPERTS.

Paris, Sept. 19.—The “Revue 4d Aviation” pub lishes to-day a series of expert opinions concern ing the work of various French and foreign aero planes. The writers unanimously admit the pres ent superiority in this field of the Wright broth ers, principally on account of the double propellers they use, but they agree that the Wright machine is too cumbersome and large. They insist that the machine of the future must, in the first place, Jeave the ground by its own power alone, and, sec ond, be automatically stable, thus permitting any one who has enough knowledge of equilibrium to ride a bicycle to handle it.

The Aerial Experiment Association had recently discussed the danger of such an apparatus as that used by Wright, and had decided that the dupli cate shafts employed on it were wrong in princi ple, that two propellers on the same shaft were better. Had the Wright machine had its pro pellers on one shaft, the accident could not have happened. 1f one of the propellers broke the other would carry the machine forward at greatly re duced speed, instead of causing it to swerve.

Dr. Bell paid a tribute to Lieutenant Selfridge’'s knowledge of aeronautics, which, he thought, was more complete than that of any other man in America.

CONTINENTAL VISITORS. Political and Club Life Stagnani— Cabinet Changes Rumored. [Special by French Cable to The Tribune.] (Copyright, 1905, by The 1Trioune Association. London, Sept. 19.—London is overcrowded with foreign visitors. The Franco-British exhibition has continued to attract throngs of sightseers from France, Italy and Germany and helped to make the capital more cosmopolitan than ever. French patronage has boen more generous than British patronage was at the time of the Paris exposition, when 1 franc admission tickets went begging for 23 centimes. The shilling en trance fees are not clipped at the turnstiles of Shepherd's Bush, and every evening seems a féte night, pulsating with pleasurable excite ment. There is a babel of foreign tongues every night in the Soho restaurants, and Piccadilly is a masquerade of racial types. Yet with the unusual bustle in the streets and show places the capital is singularly stagnant and stale. There are neither royalties nor min isters in sight, and the ¢lubs are so drowsy that nothing is talked about except General Luard’s suicide as the explicable sequel to the mysteri ous murder of his wife at Seven Oaks. Rumors that Lord Morley will retire from the India Office in October and that Premier Asquith will be forced to reorganize his Cabinet as soon as Parliament reassembles are idle whispers, scarcely requiring contradiction. Mr. Asquith has many social engagements in Scotland, and there is a feeling among the radicals that he is allowing the smart set to take up too much of his time when the party needs inspiring lead ership. Herbert Gladstone is held responsible for the mismanagement of the Eucharistic procession, and there are fresh rumors that he will take a peerage and that a sound lawyer will be found for the Home Office. The weather in Scotland has been unusually disagreeable, and the shooting season has hung fire. There have been no record bags of grouse or partridge, and the entertaining has been re stricted to a few great estates. Even the pres ence of the King has failed to restore the pres tige of shooting on the Northern moors. The American Ambassador's restful holiday at Wrest Park is highly beneficial to his health, but he remains in close touch with the business of the embassy. Sir Thomas Barlow has vetoed T.ord Strathcona’s journey across the Atlantic for the gathering of the Canadian Manufactur ers’ Association. Dr. Jameson is starting to-day for South Africa, where he expects to attend an important conference at Durban, which will give a powerful impulse to the movement for a closer union of the various states in the confed eration destined to fall under Dutch control

ENP WILL. MEET IN QUEBEC. Parliamentary Union Accepts In vitation—Hill's Luncheon. BRerlin. Sept. 18.—The Interparliamentary Union, which is now in session here, has accepted the invi tation extended from (‘anada to meet in Quebec in 1309. The permanent organization of the union is to be ‘maintained by a pald secretary at Berne, Switzer land, until such time as the Carnegie peace palace at The Hague is ready. The British delegation an ncunced to-day that the British government would contribute $1.0 a year to the union. Following this statement the delegates from most of the other parliaments represented promised to seek similar subventions from their respective governments. All the resalntions pending before the union were referred this afternooa to permanent committees, after which the session was adjourned. The dele gates dined together to-night. They will be received to-morrow by Crown Prince Frederick William on behalf of the Emperor. ‘Ambassador Hill gave a luncheon to-day to the American delegates and a number of other promi nent Americans who are at present in Berlin. Thomas J. O'Brien, the American Ambassador to Japan, spoke of the admirable relations existing be tween Japan and the United States: Richard Bar tholdt, head of the American delegation to the union, and Lemuel P. Padgett, of Pennsylvania, on the results of the union's work; Rear Admiral Charles 8. Cotton, U. 8. N., on the army and navy as the best guarantee of peace, and Nicholas Mur ray Butler, president of Columbia University, on the growing spirit of good will in the world. DAM AT ASSOUAN FEARED. Cope Whitehouse Points Out That Whole Nile Valley Is Threatened. The fact that Egypt is in grave danger just now of a Nile flood that threatens the great Assonan dam and the cities below it was pointed out in The Tribune last Thursday, and yesterday Cope “Whitehouse, who for more than twenty-five years has made a study of the irrization problem of Egypt, discussed the reasons for the warning re cently issued by the Governor of Khartoum. One featurs of the danger this year is the huge dam that was built to store up water for irrigation. Some engineers have expressed doubts as to whether the dam at Assouan could withstand the force of an unusually full Nile. The last great flood was In 1884, four years before the construc tion of the dam was begun. Since then the valley has been favored by comparatively low floods. Now the experts have pointed out that should the dam give way tha result would be infinitely worse than any flood in the days when tha river was not harnessed. The backed up water would sweep away cities and villages and almost literally “wipe out’ Egypt from Assouan to the Mediterranean.

Mr. Whitehouse referred to a recent number of “The Engineer" (ILondon). in which a report from Cairo was that the Nile on August 24 reached the highest point in sixteen vears, but at that time seemed ‘to have stopped rising at the right mo ment, just when there was danger of its getting beyond control.” This, according to the records of great floods, was In itself an ominous situation, for if the Nile begins to fall too soon the fall often is succeeded by a much greater rise. That is the fear this vear, and Mr. Whitehouse pointed out that the ordinary maximum at Assouan is on Sep tember 25, but may be even. furtaer delayed when the monsoon is late. “In 1882, when Egypt was Swept by a great ficod,™ said Mr. Whitehouse, “there were two maxima, one on September 4 and the other on September 27. This is dependent on the September rains in Abys sinia and if they are very heavy an ordinary flood passes Assuan at the end of the month. The three great floods of the last thirty years were in 1878, 1882 and 1834 In the last year the maximum was reached at Cairo on October 27, sixteen days later than in the two other vears of disaster. “To understand the peculiar danger this year of a great flood the construction of the Assuan dam must be taken into consideration. It is calculated to form a reservoir that holds a mijliard of cubic meters of water. The dam Is plerced by 180 siuices to let out the water, since there is a roadway on top of the dam. With the water spurting out of these sluices under pressure of a mighty flood it is little wonder that eminent engineers have feared for the strain on the structure, especially since they have doubts as to thé security of the foundation. The rock on which it is built is hard only en the surface and beneath is pliable. The proposed rals ing of the height of the dam by seven meters to in crease the capacity of the reservoir is because the reservoir does not hold the water as it was expected to do during the dry season. That, I be Heve, is because of the nature of the bottom, whieh may be honeycombed by subterranean channels.’

Strenuous Measures Necessary to Protect the Work. whe melancholy more RIB I Dr a i ok age Ba jp connection with dock 4, according to ex ports. This will not be a surprise to those «ho heve followed the work, but will be a of extreme regret to those who are in qerested in the well-being of the yard The contractors, the williams Engineering and Con gruction Company, are facing a problem which aageered and knocked out some ambitions per sons ten years ago. Just as it stands new, the sron channel sheet piling on both sides of the excevation for a hundred feet from the head of the dock is in 2 wabbly condition, and the walls of the big hole show a decided tendency to come together dock 3 in the o Inn at an early date. The earth on the east side outside the piling has begun to cave in. menacing the foundations of a small build ing pelonging to the steam engineering depart ment, while on the west side there are grave #ogrs that additional protection will be required py the big brick building No. 131, one of the largest of the construction and repair depart ment's shops and storehouses, as the ground close to its foundations shows signs of settling. This building rests on piles, and when the earth support starts to go they may save it but it does not seem possible to do so if the movement gssumes any magnitude. With great rows of iron beams forming the outer line of piling driven in bodily toward the centre of the dock from eight to fourteen inches on one side and almost as much on the other, with steady streams of water flowing into the cavity from both sides as well as the head end, with wooden sheet piling, now admittedly too ghort and too light, driven to a depth utterly inadequate to keep out the flowing mass of quicksand underiving the whole earth formation of the site. with not more than fifty men at work where there should be two hundred, and with steady pumping failing to keep the excavation in angthing like a condition of dryness, it seems gs if the department of wards and docks had another elephant on its hands, while the con tractors, unless they are able to withstand the processes of destruction, which are now becom ing malevelently active, stand to lose a large qu of money. The loss to the government is si a matter to be reckoned with, as the ser ties of the dock will be sorely needed before jong. The present contractors succeeded the George B Spearin Company about six months ago, and considerable “jacking up” from the department has been necessary to get the work as far along as it is, and now there is every indication that the opposition of nature to the work outlined is too serious to be overcome, except at the hands of men skilled in handling just such emergen gies. It is understood that a conference will be held in Washington this week regarding the dock. as the attention of Secretary Metcalf hes been calied to the danger to the yard build ings as weil as to the delay in the work. COMMANDER HALL'S CASE. The detachment of Commander Reynold T. Hall from the bureau of steam engineering and his assignment back to Newport News is the subject of considerable comment among those “in the know” zt the yard, and the bulk of it is distinctly favorable to the commander. There Were rumors that the change was made owing 10 excess of expenditures on the machinery of the new collier, the Vestal, but there is an un @ercurrent of opinion that the woodpile conceals &n entirely different African. In connection with the Vestal it may be remembered that the original estimate ~f the cost of her machinery Was 3450,000 for labor and material, while on &pril 1 of thiz year the total amount expended 208 required amounted to over half az million, the &ifference being approximately $85,000, a ge part of which is accounted for by in dreased cost of labor due to a 10 per cent ana in the wages of mechanics not long ago, Tecent additions to the off time of the men, Which now includes 2 fifteen days’ vacation with nay, ang other causes.

WRIGHT HOLDS HIS OWN Improvin g, but Not Out of Danger Military” Funeral for Selfridge. history of the construction Rrooklyn navy vard stands Washington. Sept. 18.—Orville Wright showed signs of improvement to-day at the Fort Meyer Hospital. and while the doctors say he is not en tirely out of danger. his condition is satisfactory. Miss Katherine Wright visited her brother twice to-day and several army officers and friends of the injured man were permitted to see him. Lieutenant Selfridge will have a military funeral, probably on Thursday. His father left San Fran cisco for Washingten to-day, and until his arrival the body will remain in the receiving vault at the Arlington National Cemetery, where burial will probably be made. Telegrams of condolence from all over the world have been received at the War Department. Captain Bailey, the surgeon who has been m charge of the Fort Myer hospital, said to-day: “Mr. Wright is resting easy. He is suffering from the natural reaction of such injuries as he received on Thursday. His pulse is above normal, and his temperature is aiso a little high. but he is deing very satisfactorily. I cannot say that he is out of danger, as it is always possible, when a person receives a severe injury such as his, that a compli cation might set in.” Lieutenant Creecy, of the marine corps, who saw Mr. Wright to-day, said: “His eyes are bright. and he lcoks a great deal better than I expected to find him. Of course, no one mentioned ‘aero plane’ to him. He seems to be in good spirits, but is a little tired, and his injuries are quite painful. I think he knows now that Lieutenant Selfridge is dead. although no one has asked him or endeavored to learn whether he really knows about it. It is presumed that he learned of Lieutenant Selfridge’s death from some letter in his mail, which he was permitted to read to-day.” The splint or Mr. Wright's leg will ba adjusted again to-morrow morning. His sister is the guest of the signal corps while in this city and has re ceived every facility for assisting her brother. It probably be two or three months before Mr. Wright will be able to leave the hospital. Miss Wright saw the wrecked mackine to-day and showed familiarity with its intricate parts and the cause of the accident. Major Journier, the French military attaché, called at the hospital to-day, and Colonel De Bode, military attaché of the Russian embassy, sent a telegram to the chief signzl officer. M. des Portes de la Fosse, chargé d'affaires of the French Em bassy, called on Acting Secretary Adee to-day and left on behalf of the French government and him self a note of sympathy on the aeroplane accident. “There is no doubt that the American pecple would applaud a generous rather than a strictly technical attitude on the part of the government toward Orville Wright,” said Secretary Wright on ked for an expression as to what action in view of Thursday's being as the government would take «Mr. Wright's achievements won the ad accident. misfortune the sympathy of the miration and his whole country, but until the War Department has commendation to act on, I cannot say what some re It may be that, should course will be followed. payment, full or partial, be adjudged an act of fairness under the contract, the department would be without power to make it and an act of Con gress would be necessary.” “ITnder no circumstance would Mr. Wright accept any money {rom the government for his machine until he had fulfilled the contract requirements,” the Wright brothers’ busi said Charles R. Flint, hen he learned that such 2

ness representative. w proposition was heing discussed. “Orville Wright is thinking only of getting well, and is not making any plans for the future just yet. The Wrights have several aeroplanes at Dayton, Ohio, and Iam sure they will make an effort to fulfil their con tract with the government as soon as possible. I presume they could get an extension of time if they asked for it. If Orville Wright is not fully recov the time Wilbur completes his tests in ible that the elder brother will come back to this country to make the official trials before the army board. I do not say that 11 be done, as Orville Wright may ling the contract him ered by France. it is poss this certainly wi feel a special pride in fulfil 3” manent Frank P.

The starting apparatus {for the aeroplane on the drill grounds was taken down this morning and stored in the shed, and the telephone line which had been laid to Alexandria, Va., in anticipation of Wright's speed trial, was taken up. At the official investigation of the aeroplane accl gent made at Fort Myer yesterday by the Signal Corps, what is believed to be the correct theory of the cause of the accident was brought out. Lieutenant Sweet, of the vy, who assisted the board at the inquiry, gave the following version, which is believed to be the belief of the board: Through the numerous long Mr. right at Fort Myer there developed an excep tional strain on one of the brackets of the upper strut of the rudder, to which a guy wire was at tached. It is quite possible that the continued tendency to become vertical, there by decreasing the support and making further con trol of the aeroplane impossible. The accident does not reflect any discredit on the Wright A Buia varhitneg and 8 one that wotlld probably not happen again in a grea many years. werrn PARTY ASKS REPRESENTATION.

A mist: den fmpression Seems to prevail in some quarters of the scope of a recent decision of the federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circait in an action brought against the South Carolina Dispensary Commission. The state dispensary, after a career of fifteen years more or less clouded by scandal, was disestab lished by the Legislature, and a commission was appointed to wind up its affairs. The Legislature voted a sum of $150,000 to be used in liquidating all claims against the liquor monopoly. In closing up the business a dispute arose with a distilling company in Cincinnati, which Lad furnished whiskeys, and when the commission turned down the claims of the com pany that concern, fearing that the commission might turn the unexpended balance of the $150. ©00 back Into the state treasury, brought a suit in the federal court to forestall such action. Judge Pritchard granted an injunction and ap pointed receivers for the dispensary fund. The ftate of South Carolina, through its Attorney General, contested this order and took an appeal to the federal Cirenit Court for the Fourth Cir cuit. Meanwhile the state Supreme Court had ordered the Dispensary Commission to pay the fund back into the state treasury. The case seems to have been argued by the Attorney General of South Carolina on the the sory that the suit was a suit against a state, and therefore deharred by the eleventh amendment to the federal Constitution. When the Court of Appeals beld unanimously that Judge Pritchard was right in intervening to protect the creditor and to prevent the turning back of the unex pended part of the fund into the stite treas ury. South Carolina felt aggrieved and seemed to think that Calbounism had been once more affronted. But the Circuit Court did not try to upset the doctrine that the state, as such, is unsuable. It was admitted on all bands that if the fund had been turned back into the state treasury before the Cincinnati company brought action there could have been no recovery through the federal courts. But the court held that the commission created to wind up the dispensary was in no sense a part of the ordi nary machinery of state government and that it was not exempt from actions brought under the federal jurisdiciion. It decided, in fact, that the state was not really a party to the suir, The money had heen voted out of the treasury for the purpese of paying certain obligatioes. jt. therefore, constituted a trust subject to the just claims of creditors of the dispensary, and the trustor had no right to step in and defeat “a legal adjustisent of those claims by pleading its own exemption from similar legal processes. ox oN EC YATE PATTY TRTRUNE. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908. The decision does not mean that a state can not set up a liguor monopoly if it desires to do so. Neither does it mean that a state can be sued by citizens of another state. It simply makes the point that the commission appointed to pay the dispensary’s debts was not so malu festly discharging a state function as to be eu titled to immunity from legal action on behalf of an alien creditor. PIOFICIORIAN ORATORY. Mr. Bryan appeared at gerious disaavan tage at Carnegie Hall on Friday evening Dbe cause he tried to make good the promises of his agents that he would not “throw a scare into Wall Street.” He dwelt as little as possible, therefore, on what he would do if elected Presi dent, taking refuge in academic and scattering eriticism of what he called the “dangerous ten dencies of Republicanism.” These tendencies may be open to attack; but Mr. Bryan in at tacking them is handicapped by the fact that his opposition is necessarily Pickwickian, since he does not himself propose anything in the way of legislation which really conflicts with those tendencies. His brief against them Is that of an advocate who has much more often given his services to the other side.

According to Mr. Bryan, there are five evil Republican tendencies. The first is overex penditure. Mr. Bryan favors economy and re trenchment. But he never Says distinctly where he will begin to retrench. He complains vaguely of the cost of militarism. But the Denver platform, on which he stands, does not demand a reduction of the size of the army or the navy or of the pay of the officers and men in the two services. It does not promise to ‘stop the construction of battleships or to cut ERE ———_n— ne TN ct tt thn i th A ttf te ef tr Ph rom, tg A et, it rd Et service by the pensions of those on the pension list. It does not attack the enlargement of the civil the creation of bodies of officials charged with carrying out the provisions of the ‘railroad regulation, pure food, meat inspection, irrigation and forestry laws. On the contrary, it demands the ereation of a new executive department—a Department of Tabor—and if Mr. Bryan's schemes of government regulation of production and government operation of the railroads are put into practice, the number of federal employes—"tax eaters,” as he calls them—will be easily quadrupled. Yet Mr. Bryan is theoretically for governmental re trenchment. The second tendency which he opposes is the use of a President's influence to secure the nomination of a successor. But this is no more a Republican tendency than a Democratic one. Jefferson, Madison and Jackson took @a hand jn nominating candidates to succeed them. Moreover, such nominations are not final. They have to be approved by the people, just as a self-made nomination like Mr. Bryan's last one has to be. Another tendency which he deplores is “im perialism.” Mr. Bryan tried to do something with this issue in 1900, when he went up and down the country proclaiming that Caesarism and the Man on Horseback were at hand. Yet he had to contend with the embarrassing fact that our present method of governing the over sea dependencies is an exact copy of Jefferson’s method for governing the Territory of Loulisi ana. If Mr. Bryan's theory is the correct one, we ought to turn the Philippines and Porto Rico loose at once. But neither he nor the Democratic party now seriously proposes such a programme. It is amusing to hear Mr. Bryan accuse the Republican party of fostering centralization. He has such an abhorrence of centralization that he wants to compel all the banks to unite in a trust te guarantee one another's deposits, and is about the only conspicuous public man in America to advocate government ownership and operation of ail the instrumentalities of inter state commerce. As 2 centralizer Mr. Bryan is leagues ahead of the father of centralization— Alexander Hamilton. Finally the Democratic candidate for Presi dent deprecates the deplorable tendency of the Republican party to encourage socialism. He says he believes in free competition. Yet he denies the right of any producer to control more than a certain part of the cutput in his line of production. He wants to compel the strong banks to pay the losses incurred “by their weaker associates, and he declares not only that unchecked private conduct of the railroads is a failure, but that private ownership regulated in the public interest must also fail and be suc ceeded hy state proprietorship. Mr. Bryan is an accomplished talker, and it is interesting, if not always instructive, to listen to him. Some day he may accept “The World's” suggestion and deliver an address to disprove his parental relation to Bryanism. DTIIISTA'Y PRISON ERA. It is an anomalous fact, and not a little discouraging, that the constitutional era in Rus sia has become also-an era of wholesale im prisonments. The world has heard from time to time through the press of numerous arrests and also of executions for political offences, but has generally supposed that these reports were so numerous because of the increased freedom of news transmission in that country. It was not that there were more arrests than before, but simply that the world was hearing of them, instead of their being kept behind the impenetrable veil of bureaucratic secrecy. It would be grateful to be assured that such wus the case, but unhappily that appears to be im possible. The fact Is, according to reports which are not refuted, that the number of ar rests has greatly increased and now far sur passes that in the old ddys of autocratic and bureaucratic repression. Thus a writer in the St. Petersburg review, “Obrazovanie,” declares that while the- prisons of Russia are officially reckoned to have room for a grand aggregate of 100,000 persons, there are now no fewer than 170,000 crowded into them. In “The Crosses” prison at St. Peters burg political prisoners were down to a few vears ago seldom séen, but now half of the prison is given up to them. In the prison ot Kieff there is room for 690, but 2,000 are now actually confined, and at Odessa, with room for only R804, there are 1,610 prisoners. They can not all be crowded into cells, but are herded in the corridors and elsewhere, where they sleep in heaps on the floors. Owing to this abom inable overcrowding, diseases of various kinds are prevalent, and there have been actual epi demics in more than sixty-five prisons. The cause of this overcrowding of the prisons is attributable to the vast increase in the num ber of arrests for political reasons, and this latter increase in turn is due to several causes. One is the multiplication of penalties of im prisonment. Thus in old times the censor simn ply suppressed an offending newspaper, and that was the end of the case, while now the members of the staff are arrested and thrown into jail. Again, thousands of men are now sent to prison for terms of months or years, instead of being exiled to Siberia, as formerly. Many are also now arrdsted “on suspicion” or for causes which are not made known to them and of which they are ignorant. Finally, labor agitation has come to be regarded as a political offence, and strikers are sent to jail in droves. Of course, there has been, largely because of the revolution and the establishment of the con stitutional era, a great increase in the number and variety of those who may be regarded as “political offenders.” Far more people are now reading aud writing and talking about political affairs. In former years political prisoners were chiefly students. Now students are the minority, while workingmen and professional men, peasants and lawyers, sailors and ‘doctors, cab drivers and editors, moujiks and members of the Douma are all herded in the jails t1o gether by thousands. And in this circumstance

NIW.VORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908. there is relief from the discouragement whish, as we have said, the great number of impris onments might at first sight cause. It Is mani fest that the spirit of political freedom is ex tending throughout the whole nation, among all classes snd conditions of the people, and that “political offenders”—if all whose polities differs from that of the bureaucrats are te be thus con sidered—are becoming so numerous that it will be physically impossible to arrest and imprison them all, and so the campaign of arrest and im prisonment must soon break down and be aban doned because of its own exaggerated magni tude. Burke did not know the method of fram ing an indictment against a whole people, and the Russian government will find it impossible to provide prison room for the whole nation. Senator Foraker affirms that the sum of $50,000 which, as appears from the second batch of letters made public by Mr. Hearst, was sent to him by Mr. Archbold, of the Standard O:l Company, was borrowed by him for a friend in the course of a business transaction, that the plan feil through and that the money was there ‘upon returned. This statement, if’ unrefuted— and it has already been confirmed by Mr. Arch bold—must relieve the Senator of the sinister Faanigions which were inevitably suggested by the fact of the remittance and by Mr. Archbold’s i subsequent denunciation, in a letter to Mr. For ‘aker. of a bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas. There are, we hope, few persgns who do not wish to believe that Senator Foraker has thus acquitte d himself of a particular accusation which inv olved the propriety of his conduet and his veracity. Nevertheless, it seems to uns that a just public judgment of the hitherto unknown relations which admittedly existed between him and the Standard Oil Company would contin ually embarrass his appearance in the campaign Las an_ advocate either of Mr. Taft's election to ‘the Presidency or his own re-clection to the Senate. So much seems clear, but when Democrats assert that these disclosures have inflicted irrep arable injury on their opponents in Ohio and elsewhere they make themselves ridiculous. It is notorious that Senator Foraker has not been |in touch or sympathy with Republican prin ciples and policies for several years, and that he strenuously opposed the nomination of Mr. Taft. ‘At the beginning of the campaign it was assumed as a matter of course that he would have no part in it, but it is not unnatural that, prior to the discovery of these unsuspected rela tions, the Republican managers should have been willing to yield to his earnest desire to be enlisted in the contest. They must now con fess that they lack the gift of divination, but that is hardly a criminal deficiency.

At one of the institutions in this city where dependent children are cared for a scene was enacted a few days ago which reflected credit on the managers of the asylum and demon strated that the institution atmosphere does not, when properly regulated, injure the little ones who by force of circumstances are compelled to live in it. The Hebrew Sheltering Guardian Society cares for a large number of orphans and half orphans, and those who have the practical care of the children are charged with a double duty, as recently expressed by Mr. Adolph Lewisohn, the president of the Institution, who said: “We “aim not only to feed and clothe the children, “hut to employ every effort to so educate them “that when they go forth from our care they “may elevate the standard of their surround “ings.” One step in that direction has been the estab lishment of a tiny republic in the asylum, where the boys learn not only to obey the laws but to make and administer them. On the oc easton referred to a lad of fourteen, having been convicted of an offence, appeared before a body of judges, all of about the same age as the culprit. The wise judges pronounced the sentence of banishment. There was no doubt as to the lad’s guilt, but on the plea of the widowed mother, who spoke for her boy before his judges, the sentence was modified to “dis franchisement and loss of all rights of citizen ship.” The ilttle republic, with its president and cabinet, its legislative body, its police force and judges, is a source of boyish fun for its citi

zens, but at their play they cultivate respect for the higher authorities, obedience to established law, ambition to rise among thelr fellows and a degree of civie pride which must, in most cases, make itself manifest for good when they become citizens of the larger country. More republics like the one at the Sheltering Guar dian Society, more practical instruction in good citizenship, more cultivation of the qualities which make for manhood and independence among those whose condltion frequently causes them to look upon law as oppression, would make the necessity for Big Brothers’ societies, organized for the purpose of reclaiming way ward boys, less necessary. The boy who leaves the little republic with a clean record, who as private citizen or chief justice of its supreme court has performed his duties faithfully and well, will probably never be enumerated among the “foreign criminals” of New York, and will require no big brother to win him away from vicious habits and influences.

THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF CHEMISTRY In an address before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, lately In ses gion in Dublin, Professor F. S. Kipping dwelt on the difficulty of securing employment for young chemists. A knowledge of chemistry cer tainly ought to be of use in many industries. even where fresh problems are not presented for solution. Nevertheless, few manufacturers in the United Kingdom, according to the speaker, offered places to college graduates who were presumably possessed of the necessary qualifications, and students, seeing so few busi ness opportunities to repay their efforts, were inclined to let chemistry alone. At one time, said Professor Kipping, it had been hoped that manufacturers wenld not only take trained chemists into their employ, but would also pro vide special facilities for investigation, but the expectation had not been realized. Part of the difficulty arose, it was suggested, from a lack of appreciation by the manufact urers of the degree of talent and experience re quired in their service. Yet Professor Kipping believed that something more in the way of preparation might be given by the universities. He would prolong the period of study to five or six years, making it include at least two years of research work, and would have the teachers refrain from recommending for em ployment any one with a shorter or less thor ough training. To encourage the student to take advantage of his opportunities fees should be remitted, as far as possible, and scholarships given to young men of real promise. Suggestions in harmony with those just cited are contained In an address delivered before the Cornell section of the American Chemical So ciety. Its author, Mr. J. F. Teeple, holds that ‘there is a Jarge fund of knowledge of commer cial chemistry which should be acquired by ‘students before they leave a university. In his opinion they should be acquainted with such prosaic but useful commodities as ammonia, _copperas, potash, nitric and sulphuric acids and a dozen other articles in common use in indus try. Information should be supplied concern Bis the action of these substances on wood, metal and other materials with which they may come in contact accidentally or by design. Stu dents should be familiar, too, with the stand ards of specific gravity adopted In the sale of

AM? FORAKER'S POSITION. TIE ROY AND THE LAW. such merchandise. In Mr. Teeple's judgment, also, a practical familiarity with some of the more simple forms of machinery—steam en gines, pumps, shafts and pulleys, for instance— should be possessed by chemists who are look ing for employment. Ira the phiaseology which he employs, it 1's not quite clear whether Mr. Teeple deems it the student's duty to follow up these lines of inquiry spontaneously or the instructor's duty to take the initiative. Perhaps the larger re sponsibility lies with the teacher. In any case the address Is worthy of examination. The same is true of Professor Kipping's, which can be found in “The London Times” of September 4, and which is likely to be republished before lone in this ~ountrv. A Another rainbow!

From The London Daily Mail The four government departments responsible for the working of the old age pensions act— the Postoffice, ocal Government Board, Inland Revenue and Treasury—are working at high pressure preparing for half a million applications for pensions which may be made on and after October 1. Every postmaster and postmistress will within a few days receive full printed instructions as to their new duties. In every postoffice notiees of the conditions of application will be posted. These instructions and notices are drafted. The excisemen who are to be pension officers are nominated. They are, as a rule, the most experienced in the service. They have received a private and confidential book of instructions as to testing the accuracy of statements made on the application forms. Numerous applications have been already made at the postoffices, both personally and by letter, for information regarding pensions. As stated, full information will be posted in all offices in a few days. Upward of 24,000 pastoffices will be weekly paying stations; for them 75,000 books of instructions and over 100,000 bills of directions for the public will be issued, while 1,000,000 books of weekly pension forms are being printed.

gmount of the attention of the fashionazuc TEE fa the week which has just closed, In connec tion with the annual show and Westchester County Fulr at White Plains, constitute one of the prinel pal features of the social programme during the coming fortnight. The annual horse show and county fair at Mineola opens on Thursday, lasting until Saturday. That of the Morristown Field Club will take place on the latter's ground just a week later, while on the following day the North Shere Horse Show Association will have its annual exhibition on the Piping Rock Field at Locust Valley, Long Island. The horse shows at both Mineola and at Piping Rock are exceedingly popu lar with all those who have their country homes on Long Island, especially with those known as the Meadow Brook set, and who are almost without exception members of the Meadow Brook Club. The shows afford a rendezvous for friends and ac quaintances after being scattered during the sum mer at seaside resorts, in the mountains and In Europe, and likewise furnish an occasion of much hospitality, many festive house parties being or ganized in connection with these exhibitions, which constitute the first general gathering in the fall of the Long Island element of New York soclety. Horses, which have occupied a considerable Among those who, as the owners and tenants of places in the district, are more particularly inter ested In the Mineola and Piping Rock horse shows are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, jr., Mr. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, August Belmont, with August Belmont, jr., young Mrs. Belmont and her husband's brothers; Mr. and Mrs. Theodore A. Havemeyer, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, now on their way home from Europe, with Mr. and Mrs. James A. Burden; also Mr. and Mrs. Norman De R. Whitehouse, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Butler Duncan, Mrs. Sidney Dillon Ripley, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Harriman, who have taken the Algernon K. Boyesen place at Westbury for the autumn and winter; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Zabriskie Gray, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pulitzer, Mr. and Mrs. R. Liv ingston Beeckman, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph N.

Vanderbilt, jr., the Assistant Secretary of State and Mrs. Robert Bacon, and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, whe is in mourning. Of the two Long Island horse shows, it Is prob ably that at Piping Rock which stands highest in the favor of the Meadow Brook set, owing to the fact that the entries are restricted to its own sta bles. In fact, the exhibitors are limited to those having places on Long Island. What the White Plalng Horse Show is to the Westchester set, and what the Mineola and Piping Rock exhibitions are to that of the Meadow Brook and Long Island colony, the annual horse show organized by the Morristown Field Club on fits grounds at Morristown will be for those having country houses in the vicinity, and it will be fol lowed just a week after its close by a horse show and race meeting organized by the Whippany River Club, near by. The Whippany River Club occu ples the country seat and the extensive grounds that were formerly the summer home of Eugene Higgins. The members who have charges of the show and of the races are J. Searle Barclay, jr. Henry S. Page, Benjamin Nicoll, Dr. Leslie Ward and Grant B. Schley. George R. Schieffelin, Rich ard A. McCurdy, B. Ogden Chisolm, Woodbury G. Langdon and Henry W. Shoemaker are those who are more particularly interested in the management and success of the Morristown Field Club show, and among the stables representad at both of the shows will be that of H. McK. Twombly, who, with Mrs. Twombly and Miss Ruth Twombly, is return ing from Europe to entertain a series of house parties at Florham, his country place near Madl son, in connection with the two exhibitions.

Fugens Higgins, who Is now over here on his an nual autumn visit to his native land, bas, as ustal, made the trip across the Atlantic on board his large steam yacht, the Varuna, and has brought with him a party of friends. He will remain until the middle of next month, and then return to Eu rope, where he lives most of the year. Cornelius Vanderbilt is likewise sailing for Europs on board his steam yacht North Star, the flagship of the New York Yacht Club. He departs on Sunday next and will be joined on the other side by Mrs. Van derbilt and his children, who are now at Nauheim, and with whom he will spend the winter cruising in the Mediterranean. They will make their head quarters at Cannes, where Mrs. Ogden Goelet has rented a villa, and where she will spend the winter with her father, Richard T. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Delafield are receiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter two days ago at Noroton, Conn. Mrs. Delafield was Miss Winifred Folsom, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Winthrop Folscm. Mr. and Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting and Miss Olivia Cutting have returned to town from their Eure pean trip, and will spend the fall at their country rlace at Oakdale, Long Island. Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who has been abroad with her mother, Mrs. Francis Ormond French, since the middle of July, returned to New York yesterday on the Mauretania. Mr. and Mrs. Wilber A. Bloodgood have returned to their country place at Seabright, N. J., where they will remain for the next few weeks. Early in November they will open their house in East 34th street for the winter.

Belmont, on her return fro FARMERS HELP CITY CHARITY. Children’s Aid Society Adopts New Plan to Make Homes for Bovs. Some of the pressing problems of city workers for social betterment are solved through the co operation of the farmer. It has rendered possible, for example, the great extension of the fresh air movement, which exercises so beneficent an izflu ence upon the lives of tenement mothers and chil dren. It has enabled the Children's Aid Society and kindred charities to place tens of thousands of neglected and destitute children in comfortable country hemes, in which they have grown up to be happy and prosperous members of the com munity. The New York society is about to enter upon a new fleld of placing-out work, which will give the farmer still further opportunity to do his part in the work of child saving. At present the society sends to its farm schoolboys who, it Is hoped, may take kindly to country life, and after their char acteristics have been studied there for a few weeks places them in the homes for which they seem best fitted. In the case of the normal boy who comes under the care of the society, the finding of a good home is comparatively easy; but there are many boys who are backward or unattractive to prospective foster parents by reason of physical and mental defects—defects, however, which may be largely or entirely removed by time and train ing. Such boys, under the new plan, are to be boarded out—of course, under the same careful in spection which characterizes the general placing out work of the society—with farmers who will be paid for the home training given until such time as the boys shall be able to gtart in lifes on more nearly even terms with others. Though it {zs new in this state, the plan has been tried by the Massachusetts Children's Ald Society with such success as to justify the experiment by the New York society.

The Salvation Army, which has conducted a Wonderful work among the unemployed, has been condemned as one of the “most gigantic successful frauds ever carried out under the name of religion.” Mr. John Burns has been mercilessly attacked for protecting taxpayers against hordes of beggars and municipalities, and boroughs have been called upon to provide work for the unemployed whenever it is needed and asked for. A larger pension law is de manded and the crudest socialist schemes are vehemently advocated, and if the question of ways and means is raised at all it is dismissed with the easy-going generalization that the rich have too much money and that it is easy to tighten the screws of direct taxation. The poli ticians have piped with mad haste and ithe trade unionists are dancing merrily, and nobody knows how the money is to be raised for the new heavens and the new earth. INF. The Liberal government has committed i to a wasteful and demoralizing without making any attempt to BE what has been done in Germany and and to'count the cost.

The guilty parties were the soft coal burning locomotives of the New York Central, which pass or the riverbank just below the monu ment: certain sugar and glucose factories on the Jersey shore, as well as miscellaneous sooty fogs from burning forests in Jersey and other hot places.

SCARE ON MAURETANIA GIANT LINER POUNDED. Propeller Breaks in Hurricane— Fososbound at Hook. The big Cunard Line steamer Mauretania. after Re Sar a Tr iT ELL RETR tal rn hr rrr nama ran MLA1VLCAL ML AL PRL JOCOLLILLES YA i TT peller. She went through an experience with wind and wave that put her to a tremendous test, an experience that several passengers declared they would never go through again for fifty times the price of passage. 3 hurricanes the Atlantic has probably ever known, pro The biggest and fastest. 8hip afioat, which has ploughed through real heAvy weather for more than a dozen trips and broken records despite the gale, had on board 1.837 passengers. With the ex ception of a few whe ware go ill that the wrath of the hurricane meant nothing to them, every one aboard was frightened when the steamer trembled and vibrated as if some gig@ntic triphammer were pounding her wThout and within. The pounding lasted only for a minute. but the passengers said it seemed like an hour. The minute of suspense began exactly at noon on Thursday, when the big turbiner dropped into the trough of tie sea between two colosszal combers. It was then that the huge bronze blade on the low pressure propeller aft on the starboard side flew off at the boss and the other twe blades churned in the heavy sea. The pounding and vibrating ceased when the engines were stoppad, and fears were set zt rest.

Every one aboard had some strange experience to relate, but nearly all described the behavior of the vessel practically alike. (Captain Pritchard

i was on the bridga, cool and calm. If he had any fears for the safety of his ship he did not show it to the passerge-s, who rushed uv along the sun deck to the bridge to ask him what the trouble was. He told them that a blade had snapped off the propeller and coolly sent his officers below to as sure the passengers that there was no danger. Within an hour the cylinder of the disabled propeller was dleconnected from the engine, and under two

i

propellers the Mauretania was again under way, riding the seas as she had done before the accident. Captain Pritchard had been through bad weather many times before, but never on such a gigantic vessel as the Mauretania. He once said that he conld do anything under the sun in the way of manceuvring his latest charge, and he proved it on Thursday under the most trying circumstances. 1 Ceupled with the story of the storm every one aboard declared vesterday that Captain Pritchard and his crew were marvels of self-control and dis plaved remarkable discipline. Captain Pritchard went from the Mauretania on her last arrival in Liverpool to the bedside of ‘his dying wife. She expired the dav after he arrived

and he buried her a week ago Friday. The next day ne took the Mauretania out of Liverpool. and

never once througheut the storm passage did he betray his grief. Down in the steerage was Mrs. Rhoda Stevens, wife of Ernest Stevens. the chief steward of the Lamport Heit liner Velasquez. She received a cable message from New York the day the Maure tania sailed to hasten to the bedside of her hus band, who is near death at the Long Island (ol

lege Hospital. Mrs. Stevens tried to get cabin accommodations, but they were all taken, and, rather than. miss an opportunity of seeing her husband alive, took the best she could get, a place in the crowded steerage. Throughout the trip she thought of her husband, and her grief was intense when the Mauretania anchored in-the fog off Sandy Hook on Friday. Being an alien. and coming in the steerage, she would have heen taken to- Ellis Island and kept another whole day sway from her sick husband had not the immigration officials tempered the lew with discretion and let her go at once from the ship to her husband.

Practically all the passengers were anxious to get up to the city, but with only two propellers in use Captain Pritchard and the Sandy Hook pilot would not think of taking the big liner up Am brose Channel through tha fog. Mrs. Alfred GC. Vanderbilt sent a wireless message to this city asking that a tug come down and take her off the steamer, but Captain Pritchard persuaded her to abandon her plan.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Mauretania landed her passengers safely, there was much talk among them—talk that would not down—that thé shaft had become hent and its fast revolutions had cauted the awful pounding as the two remaining blades struck the steel plates of the stern. There were reports, many of the passengers declared, that the coal had been bowled over in the bunkers and that nine firemen had been badly bruised and injured. but all these rumors were denied vesterday by Vernon H. Brown, the local agent of the Cu nard Line. The Mauretania had hardly made fast to her pier when a diver was sent down to make an examina tion of the stern. Mr. Brown said late yesterday afternoon that the diver had made an examination ten feet above and ten below the broken propeller and twenty-five feet forward. and that he reported no damage except the loss of the blade on the after starboard propeller. Mr. Brown said the steel plates were not even scratched, and that the re port of the twisted ehaft vas absolutely false.

“The Mauretania is in perfect condition,” he said. “There is no leakage in the stern, and if she were coaled she could start out for Liverpocl to-morrow and make the trip on two propellers. No ene was hurt in the stokehole as a result of her losing a propeller blade. One stoker struck himself in the jeg with a shovel: another stoker got into a fight and received a punch in the head, and another stoker cut his finger while shaving, and that is ail there is to the so-called aceéidents in the stokehole. The Mauretania will sail a8 usual on Wednesday.”

John W. Gates, who with his wife was a passen= ger on the Mauretania, discussed politics and the storm as the Mauretania was piloted up the Am brose Channel by the pilot boat New York, which led the way through the fog. A straw vote was taken on board when the néws of Mr. Chanler’s nomination was received. Seventy per cent of the votes were in favor of Mr. Taft against Bryan, and 70 per cent were in favor of Chanler against Hughes. Mr. Gates sald he would pot vote for Mr. Hughes and that he knew many Republicans of the same mind. He said he knew Republicans on board the steamer who would vote for Chanler. “It is not bhe ecsuse of his anti-racing fight that 1 refuse to vote for Hughes, sald Mr. Gates, “hut because of the at tack he has made against personal liberty. I know many Republicans who will not vote for Mr. Taft. Mrs. Isaac I.. Rice, who was a passenger, sald that there was much interest abroad in the Anti Noise Society, which she organized. She said that the subject was being taken up in Germany, Eng land and Holland, and that within a year there would be formed an international organization for the prevention of unnecessary noise.

Courtenay. a soprano, who has been long a favorite at the Opéra Comique, Paris, arrived here yesterday on La Savoie. She will begin rehearsals to-morrow of Planquette’s “The Paradise of Mo hammed,” which is to be presented here under the direction of the Messrs. Shubert. The American rights to that piece, the last score written by the author of “The Chimes of Normandy,” were ac quired by the Shuberts a little over a year ago, and a trial performance was given in Philadelphia last spring. Several hundred performances were giver at the Varieties in Paris after the death of the composer. Mille. Courtenay expects that it will be equally popular in this country. This is her first visit to America in a professional capacity. Speaking of her preparations for the play, Mille. Courtenay said: “I spent my time in Paris a the neighborhood just before sailing in making a series of visits to all the people concerned in the production of the operetta abroad. Also, T had to spend much time seeing to my costumes, which are all by Landolff and which I have brought with me on La Savoie. 1 have seen M. Biondeau, the librettist. and discussed the interpretation of the various roles with him, and IT have had similar conferences with Louis Ganne, so intimately concerned in the first production in Paris. Just before sailing I spent two weeks at the country place of Massenet, the composer, whose works are now becoming such favorites with New York operagoers. Massenet kindly went over several new songs written for me to introduce into the piece by Edmond Missa and heartily approved them all. I consider his advice and approval of the greatest importance.” HACKETT HAS NEW FRENCH PLAY. Author of “La Francaise” Tried to Put His Countrv in a Better Licht. James K. Hackett, who will begin his season to morrow night at his own theatre with a revival of “The Prisoner of Zenda,” announced last night that he had procured the rights of a popular French play, called “La Francaise,” and that he would produce it during his engagement at the Hackett. t is by M. Brieux, author of “Les Avaries.” In a recent chat which Mr. Hackett has pre=zerved, the author gave his reasens for writing “La Fran caige.”” “I was sailing from Norway,” he said, ‘when the French Consul of the port climbed up on the ship through the pouring rain. He said he had heard that 1 was one of France's prominent dramatists, and. knowing that I was going back home, he wished to ask me—and there were tears in his eyes when he said it—if T would not visit the Minister of Foreign Affairs and get him to use his influence to have French novelists and dramatists stop malign ing ths Franch nation. He told me that everywhere he went, whenever the words French novel or French play were mentioned. people smiled knowingly and winked, and hs begged me to voice for him the pro test against conditions that caused him to hang his head in shame. I did not go to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but I wrote ‘La Francaise,” hop fng that would produce something of the effect made on me by that poor little patriotic French Consul, who, in the pouring rain, pleading for a purer France.” Mr. Hackett will revive during his engagement many of the romantic dramas in which he has had a nmieasure of success, including “The Crisis” and whe Pride of Jennico.” ee rrRAT AT TRE AMERICAN. The presentation of “Fedora’’ bv tne Apramson Opera Company at the American Theatre last night was a distinet triumph for Mme. Helena Therry, who captured her house in ithe final= of the first act, and repeated this at the end of the second act, winning several curtain calls, and at last having to respond to calls for an encore. The audience was not so large as the merits of the production warranted, put there was plenty of enthusiasm. M. Torre. as Louis i{panoff, shared with Mme. Therry the applause of the evening. The subordi nate parts were all acceptably filled. the two parts assigried to Mile. Strauss being taken by a member of the chorus. The only feature of the evening which was objected to was the loudness of the orchestra in the first aet. “Traviata” on Monday night and “Gioconda’ on Raturday night are the mnoveities on this week's schedule.

ADVOCATES MONSTER AUDITORIUM. Twenty-five hundred persons zprlanded last night when the Rev. G. W. McPherson, at the meeting in the Tent Evangel 57th street and Breadway, said that he was suve the near future would see the erection of a menster auditorium in the heart of the city for evangelistic ma2etings. The Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman was the other speaker. “The need of a large hell to hold more than four thousand peonl- is very great.” said Mr. McPher son. “Although it would cost at least $1.600.000 to build, including §750.000 for the ground and $250,000 for the cheapest kind cf a building, I am confident that there ara enough persons in New York inter. est -d to subsgeribe that amount if a committee of tec men handles the scheme. 1 am agitating ay plan, and 1 know something will come of it.” The Rev. Dr. W ton Merie Smit, of the Central Presbyterian Church, will speak this afternoon at t+ o'clock in the Tent Evangel, and Dr. Chapman will close the rally to-night. {ONG SENTENCE FOR HIGHWAYMAN.

Despite Late Financial Depression Entering Classes Will Be Large. New Haven, Sept. 13 (Special). Important changes in many departments of vals will go into effect with the beginning of the 208th year of the univer sity next Thursday. None is so interesting, how ever, as that in the theological department, which has been the subject of radical innovations for two years. A vear ago courses relating to biology and natural sciences were introduced on the theory that religion is corrobora‘ed and verified by science and hag its base in the natural scienc:s. The coming year will witness the installation of courses in mental science in the school. A number of students of this subje-t in its general sense will give courseé in the school, among them members of the Em manuel Church in Boston and the Rev. George B. Cutten, the former Yale athiete, who, after his ordination as a clergyman, performed extensive experiments in hypnotism, which -he believed was the possible means of regenerating the world and ridding it of evil. A large set of lectures has been arranged for the school aloag these lines for the vear. Keen interest is felt at the possible increase in university membership. Signs have not been want ing that the industrial depression will make it im possible for many students to come to Yale who had laid their plans to attend the university, but the closest prediction which can be made on the basis of the entrance examination papers is that there will be a slight increase in the total students in every department.

i The academic department is the quickest to feel the touch of financial and business reverses, and it Seems sure that the entering class will show a fall ing off In numbers. The class which was graduated in June was comparatively small, however, so that the total number in the department will be larger than ever. The entering class last fall numbered 382. If 350 is recorded this fall the department wiil be open to congratulations. In spite of the prevail ing depression the Sheffield Scientific School will siiow a substantial increase, not only in its enter ing class, but in its total registration. The entering class a vear age numbered 396, outnumbering for the first time in Yale history the entering class in the academic department. This fall it seems likely that it will exceed 409. While business conditions will prevent many from attending the law and medical schools who had planned to go to them. there is apparently a scur rying to register this fall, owing to the statement by both that this is the last vear in which stu

dents can enter the professional schools directly

from high schools. This determination to raise the standard of work in each was announced a year ago, to take effect now. and it is thought that it will lead to larger classes than ever before in each of “he schools. LIVINGSTON —Or Wednesday, Sep B The total registration of Yale was 3,433 last year. The wholesome, steady, although slow, growth of the university makes it probable that about 3,700 students will be enrolled the coming year. Yale welcomas new buildings this fall, although one is still incomplete. The Oliver Memorial Build ing, which was given the Sheffield Scientific School by the parents of Daniel Leet Oliver, of Pittsburg, for recitation purposes, is practically completed, ‘and wili be used the coming wear. This stands on Hillhouse avenue, north of Kirtland Hall 2 Haughton Hall, which was given to the aca demic department by Dr. G. L. McLane, of New York City. in memory of his wife, is being pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. This stands on the ngw campus between Lampson and Fayer weather halls.

In the rear of the gymnasium the new swimming pool, built with part of Andrew Carnegie’'s $40,000 gift, is being completed. This will be ready for use about March 1.

For the first tims in more than a quarter of a century Yale has very regretfully made a change in the dean of her academic departmen:. Professor Henry P. Wright has retired from the chair be cause of advancing age, and Professor Frederick S. Jones, Yale class of "83, and dean of one of the departments in the University of Minnesota, has been chosen in his place. He will assume office next year. i

{By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Marquette, Mich., Sept. 13.—Announcement was made here to-day of the engagement of Miss Abbie Longyear, of Marquette, and Brookline, Mass.. to Alton W. Rcberts, of New York. Miss Longyear is probably Michigan's greatest heiress, but for the last two years she has made her home in Breokline except in the summer, when she stays at one of her father’s country places in the Mich igan woods. Her father is heavily interested in iron and copper mining and country real estate, and is worth several millions. Some two years ago he became ‘nvolved in a quarrel with the city of Marquette because a railroad was allowed to cut across his lawn with a spur track. As a result he spent nearly $250,000 in having his palatial home here moved stone by stone to Brookline, and again set up there exactly as it was here.

TO STUDY CONSUMPTION. Famous Men Will Give Results of Work at Congress. Irom The Tribune Bureau J Washington, Sept. 19% Arrangements are com plete for the gathering on Monday of the greatest wonvention of medica! and hygienic scientists that the worid has ever known. The occasion is the ex hibition and meetings of the International Congress on Tubercuiosis, and among the delegates will be some of the most famous physicians and surgeons of ewery civilized country on the globe, as well as hundreds of philanthropists, students and public men who take an abiding interest in the progress of the battle being waged against humanity's dread ed foe. The exhibition will begin on Monday. but th sessions of the congress are not to start until a week from that day--—September 28. George B. Cortelyon, Secretary of the Treasury, will preside at the meetings as the personal repre sentative of President Roosevelt, and the Executive himself will meet the delegates at the White House during their stay in Washington.

ET NE, IM. EE al My Ta the worid has ever known. The occasion is the ex hibition and meetings of the International Congress on Tubercuiosis, and among the delegates will be some of the most famous physicians and surgeons of ewery civilized country on the globe, as well as hundreds of philanthropists, students and public men who take an abiding interest in the progress of the battle being waged against humanity's dread ®d foe. The exhibition will begin on Monday. but th sessions of the congress are not to start until a week from that day--September 28. George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury, will preside at the meetings as the personal repre "sentative of President Roosevelt, and the Executive himself will meet the delegates at the White House during their stay in Washington.

DIVIDED INTO SEVEN SECTIONS. In reality the Tuberculosis Congress is seven conventions rolled into one, for its work is to be divided into seven sections. and each one of these ts of sufficient scope and size to entitle it to world recognition. The sections are:

i 1. Pathology and bacteriology: under the presi dency of Dr. William H. Welch, of Baltimore; secretaries, Dr. Harold Ernst, of Boston, and Dr William Royal Stokes. of Baltimore. 2 (Minieal study and therapy of tuberculosis

hospitals, sanatoria and dispensaries; under the presidency of Dir. vincent Y. Bowditch, of Boston; ‘secretaries. Dr. Bdwin A. Lecke, of Boston; Dr. W. Jarvis Barlow, of Los Angeles, and Dr. Gui nard, of Bligny. France.

3. Surgery and orthopedics: under the presi dency of Dr. Charles H. Mavo, of Rochester. Minn: secretaries, Dr. William D. Haggard. of Nachville. and Dr. Jahn T. Bottomley, of Biston. 4. Tuberculosis in children—etiology, preven tion and treatment: under the presidency of Dr. Abraham Jacobi, New York: secretaries, Dr. Da vid Bovaird. ir. New York, and Dr. I. 8. Church ill. Chicago 5. Hygienic. social, industrial and economic as pects of tuberculosis: under the presidency of Ea ward T. Devine. New York: secretaries, Alexander Wilson, Chicago, and Miss Lillian Brandt, New Cork. 6. Ktate and municipal control of tuberculosis; under the presidency of Surgeon General Walter Wyman. Washington; secretary, Dr. John W. Kerr, Washington. 7. Tuberculosis in animals and its relation to man: under the presidency of Dr. leonard Pear son. Philadelphia; secretary, Dr. John R. Mohler, Washington.

In erder to give the general public an oppor tunity to profit by the exhibition. special davs have heen set apart for various organizations and unorganized laymen as follows: Thursday. September 24, municipal! and govern ment emploves: Saturday, September 26, women's clubs and kindred organizations; Sunday, Septem her 27. fraternal organizations: Sunday, October 4. labor unions: Tuesday, October 6. social nd charity workers; Thursday, October 8 religious workers: Saturday, October 18 school children and teachers. é The exhibits to be shown will be the most com plete and largest ever brought together. The en tire second floor of the great museum building is devoted to the purpose. and the displays will be divided inta three secrions—foreign, T'nited States and state. The most complete foreign exhibits are those presented by Germany and Switzerland. Tn the former is a miniature of the famous Berlin Weorkingmen's Sanatcrium, twenty feet square, showing every building and tree upon the spacious grounds. The exhibit of the UTnited States govern ment is the largest, and comprises the work done by the army. navy. public health and Marine Hos pital service, Agricultural Department and Indian burean. The War Department sanatorinm at Fort Revard and the Navy Department tuberculosis treatment quarters at Fort Lyon are illustratea. and as a convincing and novel form of letting the visitors know just what tuberculosis is doing in 1the world while the exhibition is going on an elec trier flashlight will operate automatically and con tinuously wheneier a hun-an being is killed hy the disease. The fiaches will not, of course, be gov erned by the actual passing into ptornity of tuber enlous patients, hut will be timed according to the statistics gathered by the scientists from ail pos gible sources. The displays of the various states and organizations will be found exceedingly mter esting by every one desirous of gaining informa tion on any phase of the subject,

As it is estimated that juberenlosis kills more men women and children annually than any other known disease Or cause. it i= fair ta presume that the subject is of interest to practically every per eon of thinking age. The mere fact that 7.500.000 persons mow living in the United States will prob ably die of some form of tuberculosis before tnis time pext vear takes the work of the congress out of the purely scientific field and brings it home 10 the people.

St. Paul Directors Also Discuss Electrifica tion of Roads. Milwaukee, Sept. 19. —The St. Paul directors held their annual meeting here to-day, but there was nothing of great importance developed. They discussed the proposed electrification of the Pa cific Coast lines and the establishment of a Pa cific Ocean steamship line connecting Portland and Seattle with the Orient, but definite action was de ferred until the meeting of the executive commit tee of the board, to be held later in the year. The trend of the discussion, it is said, was such as to lead to the inference that these steps had been de cided upon, but that definite announcement was being delaved. Files Answer to Baltimore Ohio Injunc tion Application on Coal Cars. Baltimore, Sept. 13.—The Interstate Commerce Commission filed its answer in the United States Circuit Court to-day to the application made by the Baltimore Ohio Railroad for a preliminary injunction restraining the commission from enfore ing an order regarding the aistribution of coal cars. The point on which the case hinges is the same as that in the Pitcairn Coal Company case, which was decided the other day by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, againstfthe Balti more Ohio. The present case has been set for a hearing naxt Tuesday and Judges Morris. Goff and Pritchard will sit in the local court to hear it at the special request of Attorney General Bonaparte. Attention is called in the Interstate Commerce Commission's answer filed to-day to this recent de cision. It is declared that the commission's’ order was entirely lawful: that it had a perfect right to pass the order under the act giving it its powers, and the court is asked to deny the Baltimore Ohio's application for the injunction. The gas engine has not vet reached a state of development to make it practicable as a means of propelling large vessels, according to Dr. Charles Lucke, professor of mechanical engineering in Columbia University. In talking of the recent ex periments of the British Admiralty with the old ship Rattler, in which two 50-horsepower gas burn ing engines were installed. Dr. Lucke remarked that it showed simply that the British navai authorities consider this a profitable field of investigation. As to the report that the admiralty had ordered a battieship fitted with gas engines, Dr. Lucke said: “The adaptability of stationary gas engines to the propulsion of battleships and liners is entirely pos sible. but it will not come for many years. The experimental stage may begin actively at once, but the reduction to engineering practice I= a develop ment of some time. Approximately, in ten years we will have a ship that might be considered a standard. There is no gas engine mow built that could he thought nearly ready for application to the problem of battleship propulsion. Some design ers believe that they could build one right away, but the fact remains that none has bean made. It means time, money and thought expended in years of experiment.” Regarding the economy of the gas engine, Dr. I.ucke said that the saving in the larger sizes. such as 10,000-horsepower, would be 20 per cent. In the gizes under 1.000-horsepower the saving might be from 75 to 80 per cent The question of fuel, he said. will for some time preclude the use of the larger sizes. and he observed: “The first costs of the gas installation will always be greater than the steam. and this makes competition far less favor able until the gas engine has reached at least a more stable foundation.” i Mineola, Long Island, Sept. 19 —Burglars entered the house of Mrz. Walter R. Stearns at Woodmere here last night and stole $1,000 worth of silverware and a miniature picture of Mrs. Stearns’s son which is valued at 3200.

Philadelphia. Sept. 19.—Practically the entire State of Pennsylvania east of the Allegheny Mountains is suffering from one of the worst drouths in vears. In some parts of the state "no rain has failen in more than two months, and rivers and streams are so low that many indus tries have been interfered with and inisome in stances plants have been shut down for the lack of water. Forest fires are burning in several districts, and some localities report that crops will be entirely ruined unless rain comes soon.

At Shenandoah, in the anthracite coal region, the water supply is so low that farmers are bringing water to the residents in the town in stead of vegetables, as there is more profit in hauling water than in peddling produce. Water =elis at eight cents a gallon, and many are com pelled to walk three and four miles to get a sup ply even at that price. Several coal mines in that region have been closed because of lack of water to run the power plants. At Duncannon, near Harrisburg, the Susque hanna River is lower than it has been in more than one hundred vears. In September, 1874, the river was lower than it had been since 1802, and a stone in the Susquehanna opposite Dun cannon was marked and dated. Yesterday the stone showed that the river is now ten inches Below the mark placed there in 1874. In Philadelphia the Schuylkill River is lower than it has been at any time since 1869, and canalboats are stranded at different points in the river between here and the coal regions. Forest fires which have spread from the rail road tracks to the timber lands are causing much excitement and considerable apprehension about Tobyhanna ard other places on the Po cono Mountains, at the eastern edge of the state. A careful estimate places the area already cov ered by the flames as thirty thousand acres. The loss thus far sustained by various property own ers is great. There are fires of large proportions at Cresco, Moscow, Gouldsboro and near Tobyhanna, and an almost perfect string of fires along what is known as Trout Creek. In much of the region swept there is no valuable timber, but there are some areas where a considerable number of good trees have been damaged. SUFFERING AT WILKES-BARRE. At Wilkes-Barre the Susquehanna River Is three inches lower than it ever was known to be before. The reservoirs of the water com panies are rapidly being depleted, and are get ting no fresh supply, as most of the streams on the mountains are dried up. The hill sections of the city of Wilkes-Barre are supplied with water only twelve hours a day, while on the outskirts much suffering and inconvenience are caused by wells and springs going dry. Conditions are so serious in the neighborhood of Pottsville that the trolley plant of the Potts ville Union Traction Company may at any mo ment lose its supply from the Pottsville Water Company, which is husbanding its stored water at every point. The trolley plant will then de pend for its sole supply on artesian wells and the thin stream of the Schuylkill River, which must be pumped and purified before using. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com pany has for some time heen pumping water from the Schuylkill River, which is very low. Reports from the foothills on the eastern side of the Allegheny Mountains say the drouth is the severest in twenty vears. No rain has fal len for ten weeks, swamps, streams and springs are dried up, and many of the larger streams have became mere rivulets. Trout ana other fish have perished by the thousands. The water supply of Hollidaysburg has been greatly decreased, and all use of water except for domestic purposes has been prohibited. The drouth has blighted every growing thing, not only the products of the fields and gardens, but also those of the forests. and there will be scarcely any chestnuts or hickory nuts, as the leaves are falling from the trees and the nuts have shrivelled up. There will not be one-third a potato crop, and unless rain comes soon the corn will be only half a crop. The Pennsylvania Railroad is pumping water from the Juniata River for its locomotives, and men have heen warned not to drink from the engine tanks, as the Juniata water is Impure. FARMERS GIVE UP SOWING. Practically all the rural sections of tha state are suffering as a result of the dry weather. Wells and streams never before known to have become exhausted have dried up. Farmers in some places have virtually given up ploughing, because the soil is as fine as powder, and are not sowing seed. as the top soil is unable to sprout the grain. There is also much incon venience in providing water for livestock. some farmers being compelled to haul water for miles. Reading reports the Schuylkill River at that point lower than it has been in fifty years, and the Lehigh River is also very low. Prayers for rain will be offered in hundreds of churches throughout the state to-morrow, and it is feared that if the dry season continues much sickness will develop in localities where water is badly needed for flushing purposes.

The State Water Supply Commission iz eclose 1 observing the drouth, and data are now being compiled of the dry period. the rainfall this vear and in previous years, together with studies of the watersheds of various streams and the extent of forest land they drain.

Trouble is threatened in the vicinity of Trout Run. At that place it is believed an incendiary is at work. He has net been caught in the act of setting fires, but blazes have been discovered in places where he is known to have been. The fire wardens have been instructed te shoot his legs in case they catch him in the act of setting a blaze.

At Klackwells a fight is being made under direction of the State Forestry Commission. Aid was sent from Lock Haven to assist in fighting the fires which threaten to reach Renova. This city is shrouded in smoke. A drenching rain is said to be all that can prevent additional fires, as it is practically impossible to fight the flames and made any headway. i

Williamsport, Penn, Sept. 19.—After three days and nights of desperate work by an armv of men the forest fire near Laquin, which threatened to destroy millions of feet of lum her, was placed under control to-day. Another fire is burning north of Laquin, but unless the wind changes it will be kept away from the town of Long Valley, where several buildings were burned vesterday.

Me, Sept. 13.—-The razing of vast sec tions of timber lands by forest fires continued with out noticeable decrease to-day either in the inten gity or volume of the almost a score of distinct fires which burned in as many sections of the state throughout the night and during the fore noon. It was estimated that up to to-day the dam age, including the destruction to wild lands and in incorporated towns, aggregated more than $300,000. The ranks of the fire fighters have been changed often during the last three days, and to-day many persons, aroused by the danger to their home steads, gave up their usual employment to join the fire fighting forces. In most places the werk of subduing the flames had been organized so that the men had an opportunity to recover from the effects of the dense smoke and intense heat. All last night the work was continued, although with diminished numbers, the fires themselves serving to light up the scene for those who endeavored to guench them. The situation had improved somewhat in Han cock county eariv to-day owing to a slight shift of the wind. At Brooksville the fire had not suc ceeded in crossing the brook and meadow which divides the town, and where the fire fighters made a desperste stand. At Surry the drift of the wind was taking the fire past (he village to the north and only a few scattered dwelling houses were in danger. The fire which yesterday threatened the West Hancock settlement turned toward the KElls wdrth-Lamoine road, where few houses are in the danger zone. The most serious aspect to-night was the danger which surrounds the little village of Greenfield, forty miles north of Bangor. The flames entirely surround the town. which comprises some forty dwelling houses, and two fire companies and an engine have gone to the place from Old Town. SENATOR HALE'S HOME IN DANGER. Ellsworth, Me., Sept. 19.—A new forest fire late to-day threatened the homes of United States Sen ator Eugene Hale and Chief Justice L. A. Emery of the Maine Supreme Court, which are surrounded by woods, just outside of Ellsworth. A large force of men were sent to the locality, and to-night it was thought that the property would probably be caved FIRES UNDER CONTROL. Catskill Regions Out of Danger— Grant Cottage Threatened. Albany, Sept. 19-—Colornel William F. Fox, State Superintendent of Forests, who has been in the Catskills directing the fight against the for eat fires. returned here to-night. He reports that all the fires there are now under control New York State is threatened with forest fires which may equal those in 1903, when several lives were lost and millions of dollars worth of proper tv destroved, according to a statement made to day by John K. Ward, counsel to the State Forest, Fish and Game Commission. The forest fires raging in the Adirondacks are spreading rapidly, and if the present drouth upstate continues for a few more weeks, Wr. Ward savs, a serious situa tion is sure to develop. In 1903 the fires extended over one hundred thousand acres of forest lands. An unusually large number of forest fires have occurred within the last few months, due to the dry weather conditions. The fires now burning extend over one thousand acres of land in the Adirondacks and nearly one hundred acres in the Catskills. Appeals for help from the state au thorities are being received daily at the office of the State Forest, Fish and Game Commission. The fires are principally along the Mohawk Malone and the Ottawa railroads, in Hamilton, Herkimer, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and along the Delaware Hudson. in Essex Coun ty. Nearly all are on land covered with brush and from which the lumber has been cut. In only a few places. it is reported. have they reached the timbered state lands. being confined principally to private lands. They are. however, rapidly encroaching on the timbered state lands. The most threatening fires appear to be at Beaver River, partly on private and partly on state lands, in the town of Minerva, Essex (County, near where the Cedar River empties into the Hudson; Pierce field, Nehasane and Kildare. Mr. Ward says the fires generally result from sparks from passing locomotives and the careless nese of hunters in failing to extinguish properly camp fires. He recommends the proper sereening of the smokestacks of the locomotives in the moun tains. Mr. Ward believes that, outside of rain. the only thing that may prevent the present fires from reaching the proportions of some former forest fires is the excellent state fire patrol, establizshed by the State Forest, Fish and Game (‘ommission. Every town in the forest preserve counties is di vided into districts, each of which has a fire war den, who has the power by law to order every able-bodied man and boy to assist in putting out forest fires. The men thus drafted are paid jointly by the stats and towns. The present fires, how ever, are spreading so rapidly that the fire wardens are having difficulty in getting a sufficient number of men. The authorities were advised to-day from Glens Falls of a fire extending from Stony (‘reek down tho west side of the Hudson River. In response to appeals for assistance, Assistant Chief Forester Woodruff telegraphed the nearest fire warden to go to the fire with as many men as possible. Saratoga. N. Y..

Sept. 1% The forest fires back of Stillwater, Sussex County. have assumed such grave proportions that the State Fire Warden has been appealed to for aid. and has directed that the authorities employ all the help needed. The flames have eaten their way over the hun dreds of acres of young timber land, and have de stroved a great deal of valuable old timber. The dry weather and the prolonged drouth have made the woods an easy prey to the flames. Some farm ers have lost stacks of hay and grain and long stretches of fencing. (ame of all kinds is being driven from the for ests, and is taking refuge in the fields and else where. A BEAR MOUNTAIN BURNED OVER. Canaan. Conn.. Sept. 18.—The forest fires which have been burning on the hills for the last three days are still biazing fiercely.

The forest fires raging upstate made themselves evident in New York yesterday, when a dense pall of pungent smoke from the burning woods set many a man coughing. This smoke had been ap parent for two or three days, but vesterday the haze was increased by the sea fog. Last evening at sunset the odor of burning wood was more ap parent than it had been since the wind brought the smoke down to the city in 1862, In Maine, too, fires are raging great sec tions of timber land. A northeast wind, which was expected to bring rain, failed to do so, but sent the vast clouds of smoke down toward city. While the wind at the level of the city was not from the direction cf the forest fires, the smoke was carried by a current at a higher level and then Aropned. WELCOME RAIN IN CHICAGO. Chicago, Sept. 19.—-The first downpour of rain in this city since August 12 started this afternoon.

ELECTRICAL “TRUST” INQUIRY. Department of Justice Says Some Small Con cerns Are Being Investigated. Washington, Sept. 12. When a report that the government was investigating the General Elee tric Company as a trust was brought to tie at tention of the Department of Justice to-day, it was stated that inquiry was being made into the business of certain comparatively small electrical material dealers who are charged with constitut ing a trust. It had been necessary, it was added, to take testimony before the grand jury in New York. No report of the investigation has been made to Attorney General Bonaparte, however, and none is likely to be made for some time. Nothing has been heard from any of the depart ment's subordinates about the General Electric Company being connected with the. case. Regret was expressed at the department that anything should be published on the subject at this time, as, it was declared, no proceedings of any kind may be taken. The inquiry is not finished, and it is feared that a premature publication may im pede its progress. BURNETT AND WIFE LIVED APART. 3 Man Missing from Paris Hotel Once Sued for a Divorce.

Sept. 13. —The mirket for wheat re bounded to-day under the stimulus of reported ex port business and the Russian cholera, closing prices being frem 11z¢ to 1%e over vesterday. Corn. oats and provisions all finished at an advance. The wheat prices were the highest of the crop. At the opening the wheat market gave no prom ise of its higher aspirations, prices being off frac tionally on the heavy arrivals in the Northwest and at Winnipeg and the good weather. Later, however, Canada discovered that her climatic con ditions were unsettied, and Liverpool failed to fol low the decline on this side vesterday. Traders in consequence turned their attention to the export situation and found that it was good. It was re ported that all offerings from the seaboard, Kansas City and Duluth, aggregating 1,300.000 bushels over night. had been taken abroad. Under this stimu lus prices started upward and passed previous high marks. Added bull ferver came from cholera re ports frcm Russia. It was calculated that Germany and the Mediterranean ports might have fo close their wharves to Russian wheat to aveid an epi demic. The Southwest contributed a mite of bull ish news by warning the trade that the drv weath er would restriet the area of winter wheat seeded this fall. Incidentally it was noted that primary receipts for the week broke all previous records by 2,000,000 bushels, but the bears wera unable to make this factor a telling ene. Primary receipts were 2.142.900 bushels, against S37.600a0 bushels a vear ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 200.000 busheis. Local reveipts were 72 cars, with six cars of contract grade, while the aggregate car lots received at Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth were 1.343, against 1.127 last week and 526 a year ago. Fine weather for the maturing erop and more raiding of ithe September delivery depressed corn prices at the outset, but shorts covered on the wheat pulge and the coarser cereal closed firm, with December up 3c. The cash market was firm. Car lots were in good demand and offerings were moderate. The sample market likewize was firm. T.ocal receipts were 202 cars, with 89 of contract grade. The oats market was a quiet affair, overshadowed bv the corn and wheat pits. Prices worked higher in sympathy with the other grains. Dévember clos ing 3sc up. Local receipts were 205 cars. The corn strength and support from packers stimulated the provisions market and closing prices were from Se to The to 2215¢ over vesterday. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat. 36 cars; corn, 321 cars; oats, 231 cars: hogs, 24,600 head.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908.

3 Se SEROE te RRR si HARDER TO SAVE WOMEN a Dummies of Men Eastly Rescued at Schenectady Fender Tests. Although oniv a dozen eof the forty fenders and whee] guards designed to prevent accident and 10ss of life on trolley tracks were tried out in the tests held under the direction of the Public Service Com mission at the General Electric Company plant in Schenectady during last week, the tests have gone far toward proving the efficacy of some of the de vices. llach was subjected to a series of rigorous tests, dummies representing a man, a woman and a boy being placed on the tracks, over which the cars were run at a speed of six and fifteen miles an hour. Some interesting facts were brought out during the tests. In one where the dummy of the man wus picked up by a fender the dress on that of the woman was caught by a corner of the fender and the figure dragged along beside the car. Some devices tossed the adult figures aside, whereas they ran over the dummy of a boy. ne of the devices tested during the week was that of a Brooklvn inventer, John G. Wright. Mr. Wright. who is seventy vears old, says he under took the werk of inventing a wheel guard at the urgent request of his wife. Some time before her death Mrs. Wright was so shocked at reading of the decapitation by a trolley car of a three-vear-ola bey who was crossing the street to meet his father that she urged her hushand to do all he could to invent a protective apparatus which would make such ar accident impossible. Mr. Wright's invention consists of a swinging board carried beneath the front of the car. As soon as the board hits an obstacle the wheel guard, which, when in erdinary position, is about three inches above the rails, drops autematically to the ground, preventing the obstacle from coming into contact with the wheels, Travis H. Whitney, secretary of the Public Ser vice Commission, after spending several days in Schenectady, expressed great pleasure yesterday at ihe progress made, THE MALONEY MARRIAGE. Church May Annul It for “Lack of True Consent.” Philadelphia, Sept. 12.—Among (atholics in this city great interest is being manifested regarding the action of the Church tribunal! at Rome on the question of an annuiment of the marriage of Ar thur Osborne and ielen Maloney, now before it. It is generally considered that the Church will an nul the marriage on the ground of lack of true consent.

“The Catholic Chureh legislates for the conscience of its own subjects.” said a preminent (‘atholie. “Her tribunals never accept the verdict of a civil tribunal as final. But from the testimony taken before the referee who granted a decree of divoree in New York. it appears that Miss Maloney did not give a true consent in the marriage with Osborne. ““1f Helen Maloney consented to marry with the idea that a later performance of a religious cere mony was necessary for the validity of the mar riage, then in the eyes of the Church there was no marriage. There appears to be a lack of true con sent. which is sufficient grounds for the annulment of the marriage. 3 “In the New York proceedings Miss Maloney was asked whether she had intended to be married to Oshorns when she went through the ceremony with him. Her answer was, 'No, if I had consid ered mysal, mar-iel I would have acted entirely differently toward Mr Osberne from the way I did act.’ This statement implies lack of true con i cent on her part. At no time was there any con flict or disagreement between ihe witnesses, Mr. Osborne swore that the only reason for having the ceremony performed was to make the betrothal more binding. In other words, according te the testimony, neithes party considered the civil cere mony before the justice of the peace as a mar riage.” while Miss Maloney 18 LOW wcivilly free to marry Samuel Clarkson, she will not be free in the eyes of the Church until the Church tribunal, which now has the case pefore it for consideration, de crees that she is 2 single weman. If the annuli ment decree is held by the ecclesiastical tribunal to Jeave the girl in the position of a divorced person, Miss Maicney will be subject tor the Cath olis prohibition against contracting another mar itaop wari FEVER DECREASING. in the report of the Health Department for the week ended on September 12 typhoid fever is shown to be on the decrease, and it is expected that the number of cases will soon drop below the hundred mark.

OLD KEEPER TO RESCUE At Once Calms Rebellious Elephant in Bronx Park. The sight of her former keeper. “Dick” Richards, caused Luna, the big female elephant, to forget yesterday afternocn that she had for twenty-four hours terrified Director Hornaday and the keepers at the Bronx Zoological Gardens. Luna, chained by each massive leg and haltered with a section of 3-inch cable, ceased her warlike trumpeting and stretched her trunk toward Richards, with a gentle grunt that probably expressed her pleasure at meeting an old friend.

Prior to Richards’'s arrival at the park Luna was stirring things up, and with the exception of nearly a score of keepers whe remained on guard with forks and combination whips, which have hooks attached, the crowd, which numbered several hun dred, kept at a safe distance. Alice was Luna's name before she became the property of the gardens. Richards called the old name and it changed the animal entirely. Late comers who had not heard of the rumpus she had stirred up asked the bystanders why she was being held to the ground. Richards, who had brought with him several pounds of sugar, began petting her and giving her goed advice as to how to be have. With her ears pricked up, Luna seemed to heed the fatherly advice her former trainer was giving her. Following Richards's arrival, more than a score of keepers, under his supervision, succeeded in getting Luna up. It was evident that she was none too anxious. Again Richards told her it was time she got over her madness. Then she arose as gently as if nothing had been the matter with her. With several cables tied about her legs, and headed by Khartoum, a baby elephant, she went calmly to tha elephant house, where she will be formally intro duced to Gunda. Luna came to the park a week ago yesterday. While at Luna Park she had been as peaceful an elephant as might well be imagined. During her two years at the park she was a friend of children and used to crowds. But the Babel of sounds from the Bronx jungle had her on edge soon after she was put into the antelope inclosure with old Gunda. Although her actions did not suit her keeper, Thuman, vet he decided Friday afternoon to take her out and introduce her to the children, believing that would have some effect on her. She went along very quietly until she reached Puma street, where the big green-eyed cats spat disrespectfully at her and snarled in her face. Suddenly Luna be gan to do things, and the transformation was so quick that it almost took Thuman off his feet. Rushing into the reptile house, she began to break things. There were a number of persons in the place at the time, and that ali escaped practically uninjured was remarkable. Everybody made a break for the doers, several women fainting, while two of them received minor injuries.

Director Hornaday, who appeared much per turbed over the affair, said that the damage done by Luna was trifling, but that it would take some time before it could be repaired. He added that the keepers about the park had succeeded in capturing all the snakes. At a late hour last night it was learned that Luna was again the peaceful animal that she was at Luna Park. It is understood that Richards will remain with her at least a fortnight, until she bg comes accustomed to her surroundings. TAXPAYERS TO EDUCATION BOARD.

Conference Wants to Know About Padded Pavrolls and *‘Boroughizing of the Fund.” i mp————

Foliowing a statement by the bureau of municipal research that the payrolls of the Board of Educa tion were regularly padded, a letter has been sent to the president of the board by the executive committee of the Greater New York Taxpayers’ Conference, asking for information as to certain points in the budget estimate of the Board of Edu cation for 19M. These points include the increase in the cost of repairs, the “boroughizing of sup plies,” and “‘boroughizing the general school fund.”

i

The taxpayers conference also asks: “How could estimates as to cost of material affect proposals vet to be solicited?” It wants to know why, since the charter says “the general school fund shall be raised in a bulk and for the city at large,” this fund has been “‘boroughized.””

The report of the bureau of municipal research declares that the Board of Education, because it knew its salary budget each year would be com pared with that of the vear before, ‘has managed to have a very large salary list on June 30 of each vear.” This is done, the report charges, by adding employes and increasing salaries. “Then.” the Dui reau says, ‘those who make up the budget come before the Board of Estimate with candid eyes and altruistic inflection, and say they are only asking for the amount of money necessary to continue the existing employes.” “Thus,” the bureaw’s report continues, “appropriations described in October as absolutely necessary to prevent departments from going to rack and ruin are found on January 1 big enough for innumerable increases in salary.”

BIG STRIKE CALLED OFF. Louisville Nashville Machinists May Go Back to Werk if Thev Can.

Washington, Sept. 13.—The general strike of ma chinists on the Louisville Nashville Railroad, growing cut of a charge of discrimination in favor of non-union machinists, half a thousand men en gaging in the original walk-out on that system, has been declared off, to take effect on October 1, after almost sixteen months’ duration. i

i James O'Connell, president of the International Association of Machinists, said to-night that the ‘action of the executive beard in calling off the strike was due primarily to industrial conditions ar? the facet that there did not now seem to be reasonable greund for complaint of discrimination.

«Mutual concessions,” he said, “have been mads which makes the continuance of a strike unneces gary. Except about one hundrad, all of the ma chinists who originallw walked out now have other employment. In time things will right themselves on the system, and the outcome will be entirely satisfactory both to the road and to us. The get. tlement of the strike was made by outsilers, friends of both sides in the controversy.’

GASPIPE DEMURRER OVERRULED. Justice Greenbaum Says Company Has Right to Keep Mains Under Streets.

Justice Greenbaum, in Special Term of the Su preme Court, yesterday overruled the demurrer in terposed by the Corporation Counsel in the answer of the Mutual Gas Light Company in the city's suit against itsto compel the removal of certain pipes and mains. The Corporation Counsel! con tends that the gas company had permission to lay pipes and mains in the streets of New York for thirty years dating from April 3¢, 1888. The de fendant company, he holds, having obtained no further permission for the laying of pipes under the streets, they should be removed.

i

i

In answer the company says that it has the written consent of the majerity of the abutting property owners and that the use of the streets by the gas company for a number of years operates as a consent on the part of the city. The Corpora tion Counsel entered a demurrer cn the ground of insufficiency in law.

Justice Greenbaum, in his decision, said:

it appears that the defendant company was in corperated by a speeial act of the Legislature, in which it was provided that no part of the streets of tne city of New York should be dug into, injured or defaced without the consent cf the municipal authorities. The learned Corporation Counsel seem ingly ignores the fact that the powers and rights of the defendant company must be determined in the light of its special charter, and not exciusively by the general laws. We find in the defendant's eiiarter that it has been given the right to dig up and disturb the streets without the consent of tha municipal authorities, if the consent of abutting property owners fias heen secured. If the pialn tiff's contention is correct it would be necessary to hold that the Legislature eontemplataed delegating to the abutting property Owners the legislative powers exclusively vested in the municipal assem bly. The demurrer to the defendant's answer Is

averrliled with costs. pf p— ive ST PAUL DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED.

Crowd Disappoinied al Qul come of Hard Fought Game Sl Polo Grounds. oor. BE ro. By scoring four runs in the tenth inning the Pittsburg Pirates defeated the Giants at the Polo Grounds yesterday by z score of 6 to 2, and got partial revenge for the double defeat on Friday. It wat a disappointing ending, for the local rooters, to a close, hard fought game. The Giants had chances to win in abundance, but it was not their @ay. and the score showed pretty well the merits of the: teams on_the afternoon's play. The New York team: was l'ke the New York crowd that swarmed into the Polo Grounds. The crowd was _&= great one, but not quite as great as on Friday, and the New York team was a good one, but not Quite as good as on Friday. Perhaps there will be some to say that the crowd yesterday was as big as any that ever packed the grounds. Certainly it was a big crowd, and the gates were closed before all who wanted to get in had done so, and there were fans on the field, just #s there had been the day before. But it would Shave been possible to get mors persons in, and offi «cial records would probably show that there were Sess than thirty thousand in the park vesterday sfternoon. Certainly the police had far less to do in preserving order outside than on Friday. The fans seemed to feel that the Giants won the pennant when .iliey, won" that glorious double header. So did the Giants and that was why they Jet a game they should have won long before go to ten innings. The licking may do them a lot of good in view of the coming ‘onslaught by Chicago. Commissioner Bingham decided to let uniformed police handle the situation again, and theréby in creased his popularity with those who go to see game and not a ranning free fight for vantage points that have to be vacated as soon as the players take the field. In the last Pittsburg series the only war the base lines could be cleared was for the players to throw balls up and down six snches from the faces of the fans, and that sort of thing delayed the games as well as spoiling the pleasure of many nervous persons who had pushed to the front. Ames and Crandall dil the pitching for New York. and both wavered when they should have presented a firm front to the encmy.

Baseball plavers are human, and the best of them at times must Te allowed the human weakness of revealing im perfections tuat should make them all the dearer 20 those who laud them to the skies when they are winning. The crowd yesterday saw an exciting game, even if it was not a flawless one, and the real enthusiasts, who know the game, only shrugged their shoulders philosophically when they saw four Pirate runners score in the tenth inning, ®en though the score board showed that Chicago had won the first game from Philadelphia. The second game in the Quaker City was a scoreless tie, ended by darkness after ten innings Jt was a hot and sultry day, and the pall of smok~ that has swept down on the city from the blazing forests of the Catskills and the Adiron dacks hung low over the drooping pennants won in 1904 and 1905, soon to be joined by a tiurd, if the hopes of every New Yorker meet the reali zation that seems almost certain. The first inning found Ames in trouble at once. He gave Thomas three balls, but steadied down and struck the former Quaker out. (Clarke got his base without work, however, and so did Leach. McCormick held Wagner's liner, but Abbatiechio hit hard. and it locked like a run when the hit got away from Ames. Bridwell made a fine stop, how ever, and cut off a run, besides getting the batter at first base. Ames was steady at one moment, even brilliant, ané wild-at the next. In the third inning he let Clarke walk, but Donlin robbed Leach of a hit by a superb running catch, doubling Clarke with a fine throw. Then Ames faced Wagner and made that mighty hitter strike out, to the joy of the crowd. Despite the erratic work of Ames, who was saved more than once by good fielding, the Pirates didn't &et a safe hit off his delivery until the fifth inning, when ILeifield, who was pitching a fine game him self, and really showed better than Ames, sacri ficed Gibson, who had made that first hit. For the first time things looked exciting, but Bridwell got Gibson at third base by a fine play on Thomas's grounder. Signs of coming trouble continued, for in the sixth inning Wagner solved Ames and punched out a nice single. He tried to steal sec ond, but a beautiful throw by Bresnahan to Brid well cut him off. Then the Giants got to work. Ames was out on tap to Leifield, but Tenney beat out a bunt that was almost impossible to field, and, after Herzog had fouled out, Bresnahan, who showed no lassi tude or relaxation in his game, scored Tenney with 2 nice two-bagger. Donlin had a chance to score Bresnahan, which, as it turned out, would have won the game, but he could hit only to Wagner. In the seventh inning the clouds that had been Zathering burst on Ames. Wilson was too fast for Bridwell's throw on a slow hit, and reached third base when Gibson pushed a two-bagger into the crowd. Ames made Leifield fan, but, with two out, Thomas singled, scoring Wilson. Clarke got Aa two-bagger .and Gibson scored, putting the Pirates ahead. In their half the Giants started poorly, for Seymour and Devlin raised long flies, McCormick singled and stole second. Bridwell walked, and McGraw sent Barry in to bat for Ames. He walked, and the bases were full. Ieifield couldn't findithe plate, and tied the score by forcing Mc Cormick home with another pass to Tenney. Crandall showed nicely for two innings, and the «Giants had a great chance to win in the ninth $nning. Bridwell was too fast for a slow hit, and erkle singled. having taken Tenney's place. A decision ended Herzog at first base, and had been called safe the game might well have won, for Bresnahan walked. With the bases Donlin fouled to l.each, who made a reat catch. E ose in the tenth inning Crandall gave Marke a pass, #nd Leach singled. Wagner flied to McCormick, but Abbatiechio singled, scoring Clarke and Leach, and scored himself when Seymour made a mess of Storke's single. Seymour made up for this by holding Storke at third on Wilson's hit, but Stork» scored 2 moment later on Gibson's long flv. The Giants went *out—one, two, three—in their half, and a disappointed crowd went home, slowly 2nd sadly.

Detroit, Sept. 19.—The Yankees may not be able to win pennants themselves, but they got sweet re venge to-day for the time, two years ago, that the Detroit Tigers put them cut of the race after they had beaten the White Sox in what looked like a decisive series. To-day they took the second game from the champions ard enabled Cleveland {io creep up to within two points of the Tigers. The score was 6 to 5, and fine pitching by Manning, who re lieved Warhop, and a good rally in the eighth inning that was helped along by Detroit errors gave Elberfeld’s men the victory. Warhop, the new Indian pitcher, was easy for the champions, and they got five runs off him in as many innings. Then Manning went in, and oniy one Tiger got to first base. Good hitting gave the Yankees a run in each of the first three innings, but Detroit went ahead by falling on Warhop hard in the fifth session and took a two-run lead. Cree, the new outfielder, played a fine game for the Yankees, and his triple in the third inning and scored one run. Mullin pitched well for Detroit, but had poor support. Heavy smoke from the fires that are devastating the Michigan forests hung low over the grounds, and at times it was hard to see the out fielders from the grandstand.

CHICAGO, 7: WASHINGTON 2. CLEVELAND, 6: BOSTON. 5. DUEL OF TURF GIANTS DUEL OF TURF GIANTS RACE WON BY 4 NOD. RACE WON BY 4 NOD. Fair Play Beats King James in Fast. Brilliant Struggle. August Belmont's fair Play beat S, UL Rniaretil s King James a short head in the First Special of $3.00 at Gravesend vesterday, after a bloodting ling drive through the last half mile that brought the big crowd to its feet and set nine out of every ten persons present shouting and cheering fn the wildest enthusiasm. No race this year has aroused a greater show of interest, and no race this year was more deserving of the plaudits of the crowd, as it was one of the gréatest struggles In the his tory of the American tuif. 1t was not only one.of the best races ever run from a spectacular peint of view, but it was one of the fastest races ever decided at a mile and a quarter. [air Play took up 122 pounds to 118 for King James and clipped a full second off the track record of 2:04 2-3, made by Dandelion last year, by running the distance in 2:63 2-5, which was within three-fifths of a second of thé world's record of 2:02 4-5, made by Broomstick, witn 106 pounds up, when he beat Irish Tad a héad In the history making Brighton Handicap of 1904. Fair Play earned the glory of the race and the $2,400 which went to the.winner, but King James ‘earned equal honor, and it may be said that both of the good three-year-olds deserve a prominent place in the thoroughbred Hall of Fame. Consid ering. the weight carried, the time of the race and the manner of its running, no better race has ever been run in this country. Fair Play, which was beaten a neck by the unbeaten Coiin in the Bel ment Stakes, ran second to Celt in the Brooklyn Handicap, third to Ballot in the Suburban, and then won the rich Coney Island Jockey Club Stakes and the historic Realization, has proved his class, courage and consistency beyond question, and in any other year would have been hailed as a cham pion of champions. King James, too, has proved himself a colt far above the ordinary, although his victory in the Annual Champion Stakes on the last Saturday at Sheepshead Bay was his only im portant one this year. Jack Joyner scratched August Belmont's unbeat en Priscillian yesterday and pinned his faith to Fair Play. The other starters were King James, Master Robert—which, with his pull in the weight, ap peared to be about an equal favorite with Fair Play with those who had an opinion to express —and Dandelion. From the far turn home Master Robert and Dmndelion were practically overlooked in the wonderful duel which began’ at that point between Fair Play and King James, for they fought it out, head and head and stride for stride to the last jump, where E. Dugan, riding one of his strongest fin ishes, managed to get Fair Play home in front by the width of a hand. King James had, perhaps, the most to do in the race, as he was called upon to share the brunt of the pacemaking with Dandelion and race the light lv weighted son of Hamburg into submission. That done, he had no breathing space, for Fair Play, which had been cleverly rated by E. Dugan, gave immediate battle. King James ran gamely and true and gave of his best, but Fair Play matched him in courage, stamina and speed, to his lasting credit. ~The fractional times of the race show that there was no loafing at any part and add to the brilliancy of the performance. King James raced to the half in 0:48 2-5, turned the six furlongs in 1:13, was joined at the mile by Fair Play in 1:38, reached the mile and a furlong, head and head with his con queror, in 1:511-5, and was beaten a head on the post for the mile and a quarter in 2:03 2-5. James Rowe's Suffragette took up 122 pounds and won the Junior Champion Handicap of $3,000 in the fast time of 1:09 for the short six furlongs. It was a brilliant performance, and Jimmy Rowe, who bought her out of the Keene dispersal sale a week ago for $3,200, has now more than won her out, as she galloped home in the Willow Handicap on Wednesday. She raced right to the front yester day with such a burst of speed that she had her field reeling and dizzy behind heér in the first quar ter, Mediant being the only one which could keep within striking distance. FitzHerbert might have given her a race, but he was badly interfered with in the first sixteenth, and lost any chance he might have had of winning. The Hitchcock Steeplechase furnished a pretty struggle, Thistledale beating Sanctus a scant half length in a hard drive and making a new track record of 4:43 for the full course. Fifteen lengths back Bayonet beat Coligny a head in another pretty drive for third money. The other winners were Westbury, Bad News and Wallflower, and It may be said in passing that, while there was nothing but oral betting at the track. six quoted favorites won. It was a gray day, or. better, a smoky day, and altogether too hot and sticky to be comfortable, but the biggest crowd of the meeting was in atiendance and more interest and enthusiasm than at any time since the passage of the Agnew-Hart law. Much amusement was caused during the steeple chase when the horse hitched to the runabout of the patrol judge became imbued with a desire to race when the field went by him on the backstretch and tried to join the fray. Mr. Hall was spilled out, and the horse went careering around the in field. There was a distinct element of danger, with a possibility of his racing across the course, but stable hands shooed him about and kept him in the centre of the field until the race was over.

Daniels, of the New York Athletic Club. holder of numerous world's and American swim ming records, made another new mark vesterday, when he wen the National Amateur Athletic Union quarter-inile championship at Travers Isiand, ®c ing the distance in 5 minutes 34 seconds. The former record for that distance in tidal water, which he held himself, was 6 minutes £1-5 seconds, and was made two years ago. J. A. Reilly, the youngster from Townsend Harris Hali High School, who has been winning consistently recently, fin ished forty vards back eof Daniels, with Karl Schmidt. ef the New York Athletic Club, third. All the swimmers took the water at the same time. At the 22-yard mark Daniels was slightly ahead of his nine competitors and using his trud geon and crawl strokes splendidly. At the crack of the pistol for the last lap Daniels increased his speed and crossed the finishing line amid deafening cheers from the big crowd that stayed over from the track games to see the aquatic sports.

The 200-yard handicep swim, which was the other event on the programme, was unusually weil filled, and four heats, with six men in each, had to be decided. W. Guildford Howard, of St. John's Guild, with an allowance of 17 seconds, captured it by a few feet from W. Phinney, an unattached swimmer. The time was 1 minute 72-5 seconds. J.

Miss Marie Wagner and Richard H. Palmer won the New Jersey State lawn tennis championship titles in their respective divisions of the singles vesterday on the courts of the Morristown Field Club, Morristown, N. J. It was a slashing match that Miss Wagner, the Hamilton Grange girl, played, and she threw herself with swveh viger into the game that her opponent. Mrs. George I. Chapman. of the Nyack Ceuntry Club, scored only four games in the two sets, which gave Miss Wagner the championship at 6-3, 6—1. as Migg Alice L. Day defaulted the challenge round. Pos. sessing the remarkable physical powers that make for Miss Sutton’s great game, Miss Wagner de veloped a speed on her drives and smashes which smothered Mrs, Chapman, so that she was forced upon the defensive from beginning to end. To the surprise of the fashionable gallery which assembled about the courts during the aftarnceon, Palmer was forced to his limit by young Neal Stevens, fifty-one gruelling games neing played before Palmer could claim the title by the score of T—5, 46, 12-10, 6-1. Palmer certainly earned his cup. Actually, Stevens played all around him. He compelled short range tactics at the net, and suddenly shifted to deep lobbing. Tt wns the sort of kaleidoscopic racquet which was calculated to break up Palmer's length on his dangerous drives, The title passed to him by the default of Edwin P. Larned, who is absent with the Peary expedi tion to the north. Miss Wagner doubled on her honors by winning the mixed doubles, paired with Frederick Watrous. They defeated Miss Whitney and C. M.

The first mile was run in 4:43. Eddie Carr, the ©1d Xavier plugger, was the first to quit, having had enough at the end of a mile and a half. Then Eisele dropped out, and others began to fall denind.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, T1908. pa i a re a nobiling Lawn Tennis Track and Field Athletics Other Sports FEW CRICKET MATCHES. All-Philadelphia Eleven Easily De feats New Jersey Team. Few games were scheduled yesterday on the cricket field. The championship series of the Metro politan League is finished and only exhibition con tests remain to be decided. The New York Vet erans, thanks to a splendid inning by C. Beling, were enabled to defeat Columbia Oval by a margin of 63 runs. The Veterans went to the bat first and fared rather badly at fhe outset, G. W. Barnes be ing the only one of the first five batsmen tc make any stand. When C. Beling and S. Low became associated, however, a different complexion was put on the game and the two players ran the score up to near the century mark before they were dis posed of. Beling’'s score was 4), Low put together 21 and Barnes corralled 11. The best bowling was done by D. G. Birkeit and G. Shaw, who 100k most of the wickets between them. The totals were: New York Veterans, 102; Columbia Oval, 33. The team representing the New Jersey State Cricket League sustained a crushing defeat at Philadelphia, where they were oposed by the Ali Philadelphia eleven. Several of the players on the home side had made the journey to England with the Gentlemen of Philadelphia team, and the sides was altogether too strong for the visitors. J. L, Evans topped the batting list with a fine inning of 90, but J. B. King ran him close with a hard hit score of &6. The Barbados eleven had an easy time with the Manhattan eleven at Prospect Park. The Barba dos put up a strong defence and were enabled to pass the hundred mark before all were retired. H. Pover was top scerer in an inning of 26, L. Reecs followed with 16, and W. B. Seale added 13. A close game resulted in the meeting of the Man hattan Reserves and the steamship Oceanic's cricketers, the sailors being defeated by four runs. The totals were: Manhattan Reserves, 45; Oceanies, 45. The Oceanics put a second team in the field, and in this game they were successful, beating the Columbia Oval Reserves by twenty-two runs at Williamsbridge. The Manhattan Veterans scored a victory at the expense of the Willlamsbridge Wanderers, winning bv a score of 109 to 76, To meet the demand for orders for E-M-F “30 cars is something that is puzzling the H. J. Koeh ler Sporting Goods Company, on upper Broadway. This company has contracted for eleven thousand of these machines for the demand in this city, with ten adjoining counties and the State of New Jer sey. The Studebaker Brothers Company has con tracted for over six thousand of these cars—one half of the factory output—to be sold in the West and South, while the San Francisco branch agents have given orders for 448.

“Nor was the ‘thousand cars’ condition imposed by the manufacturers,” said Mr. Koehler yester day. “On the contrary, we had to put up a stiff argument to get the desired allotment. The E-M-F Company is desirous of distributing its product equitably among its various representatives, and on a basis of population our quota was less than six hundred cars. We have, however, aiready disposed of over two hundred, and with the waiting list we now have could not see now we could possi bly take care of the demand with less than a thousand. The sensational price of the E-M-F 30’ car has created a demand greater than even we expected.”

The result of the Lozier cars finishing first and sec ond in the recent twenty-four-hour endurance race at Brighton Beach was the cause last week of drawing nearly five thousand persons to the sales rooms where these cars are shown. The salesmen were kept busy answering the numerous questions about the construction of the record-smashing au tomoblles. To show that the cars used in track and

‘road contests are no better than the other Lozier cars shown at the salesrooms, the concern an nounces that they can be bought at the same price as the other cars.

A city cab for touring is a novel proposition, but that it is a practical one for some makes of cab was what was sought to be demonstrated by the W. H. Seaich Company, which supplies the cab service of the Waldorf and other big hotels in New York, when it entered one of its American Locomotive cabs, as a competitor against big tour ing cars, in the two days’ contest on Long Island. A demonstration of long distance efficlency over country roads such as this puts a new phase to the cab competition now in progress. This was the first time, incidentally, that cab ever was seen in any contest. An interesting trip was made recently by Henry J. Lamar, jr., and Dr, W. G. Lee over the Cumber land Mountains in run from Macon, Ga., to Lan ging, Mich., in an Oldsmobile car. At Chattanooga they were directed wrongly and the mistake caused them to travel over three mountains that could pave been avoided had they taken the right path. There were brakes of logs and stone along the Mount Bagle road every twenty or thirty feet. The mountain rises to an angle of forty-five degrees. At Louisville the tourists went over the IL. and In. Pike, which has not been repaired in years end has a road entirely of stone.

SE More Entries Received for Brighton Beach Automobile Meet. Among the latest special prizes announced for the Brighton Beach twenty-four hour automobile race is one of §00 cash from the Warner Instrument Com pany to the driver of the winning car, if it uses throughout the race a Warner autometer. Entries are being sent in fast for the big twenty-four hour event, and now number twelve cars. The latest entries are a Zust and an Acme. As the entries will be limited to sixteen cars, the race will soon be filled. A feature of the Brighton Beach meet will be the arrangement of camps for the various entrants. A special eommittee is in charge of this work. No cars will have special privileges. All will have uniform treatment. The camp will be laid out in regular streets with military precision. The com mittee in charge of these details is composed of Mr. Emise, of the Lozier Motor Car Company; B. R. Hellander, of the Fiat Automobile Company and F. B. Muskovics, of the Allen-Kingston com pany. The appointment of a committee to pass on the eligibility of drivers has met with general appro bation. "The men forming this committees are Jo seph Tracy, Guy Vaughan and A. Campbell, all of whom have world-wide reputations as drivers. These meén know to a dot just what should be ex pected of a driver in any form of contest. Competent chauffeurs will be furnished with a license card, bearing the driver's photograph and a certificate signed by the men on the cammittee. This plan is in general use in France, the govern ment itself issuing the license cards, and any one ariving a ear is obliged to pass a s~arching exam ination to obtain a driver's license. By such a plan as this the possibility of. accidents through careless or incompetent driving will be much les sened. MFARLAND WINS RACE. Trickery Shown Against Clarke in Bicycle Contest at the Garden. Fioyd MacFarland, who was teamed with Hardy Downing. won the two-hour-a-night six-day team bicycle race at Madison Sguare Garden last even ing. Frank Kramer, with Menus Bedell as a part ner, was second, while third place fell to A. J. Clarke, the young Australian rider, who had Iver Lawson as a partner. Had it not been for the trickery shown against Clarke by the other rid ers almost from the start of the race he might have won.

In the tenth hour of the race Kramer and Bedell were a lap behind the six teams that were tied for the lead. In the lively sprint that Kramer started in the eleventh hour he succeeded in catch ing up with the leaders, chiefly owing to the assistance of the Krebs and Veroni team, who alternated in setting the pace for him and his partner. This brought him up to the leaders. The krebs and Veroni team was also a lap be hind the leaders at the time.

in the final mile the six teams that were tied for the lead fought it out. To the majority of the crowd it looked as if Clarke had beaten Kramer by at least half a foot, and when the decision was arnounced giving second honors to Kramer the spectators yelled “Thieves!” and “Robbers!” for some time. Kramer and Mayer had pocketed Clarke so badly that it was out of the question for him to get first honors. The time for the final mile was 2 minutes and 6 4-5 seconds. Four teams which were one lap behind the lead ers battled it out fcr seventh place in another race of a mile. Krebs and Veron] succeeded in coming in first in 2 minutes and 86 2-5 seconds, with Charley Sherwood, who was teamed with Edward Rup precht, second.

The experience gained has been fully utilized in the production of the new car, which is, above all else, neat and substantial in appearance. The running of the Stevens-Duryea cars in the two-day mechanical efficiency test around Long sland was one of the features of the contest. Until Amagansett was reached on the first day of the run the céntestants wers loud in their talk that the going was toQ easy, but for the next thirteen miles to Montauk they had ample reason to change their minds. The route led over deep sand, gver dan gerous bumps, hills and mudholes. The (un on the second day from Montauk to Montauk Point and thence to this city furnished a hard day's test and kept the machines travelling at a fast clip to keep up with the time schedule.

PARKWAY RACES SOON SWEEPSTAKES ON OCT. 10. Vanderbilt Cup Commission An nounces Five Classes. Posters were issued yesterday by the Vanderbilt Cup Commission announcing the cpening of the new Long Island Motor Parkway on October 10 with a mammoth sweepstakes for all classes of cars. The entry blanks describe the event as the “Motor Parkway Sweepstakes,” divided into five classes, as follows: Motor Park Sweepstakes, Meadow Brook Sweep stakes, Garden City Sweepstakes, Jericho Sweep stakes and Nassau Sweepstakes. Each class bears a name well known on historic Long Island. The event, which is over the William XK. Vanderbilt, jr. 1908 cup circuit, takes the place of the Vanderbilt Cup elimination race, which was made impracticable because the limited number of American cars ready by October 10. Mr. Vanderbilt returned home from Europe a few days ago, and when he heard that the parkway was in shape for a big raze on the 10th, while few racing cars of the special Vanderblit type had been completed or could be completed by that time, he suggested that the Vanderbilt Cup Cemmission start a sweepstakes and offer $5,000 in cash or plate prizes. This idea has been carried cut. Since the entry blanks and formal announcements have been issued the engineers on the parkway have reported that the work of construction.is prac tically completed. The largest bridge on the park way, which is at Central Park, was turned over to the cement workers Tuesday, and it is believed that it will be thrown open for use early this week, This bridge connects two long sections of the ce ment highway between Central Park and Beth page. and Central Park and the grandstand. Alt the grandstand stretch is completed and cars have been running over it for some days. There is a little more work to be done between the grandstand and the western end of the parkway, but the bridges over intersecting highways in this section are open, and the finishing touches can be put on in two or three days. This practically com pletes the eleven miles of parkway which form a southern boundary of the 1808 vanderbilt Cup ecir cuit. The grandstand is about half completed. The telephone service has heen installed around the en tire circuit, and racing drivers who have been se lected by the various entrants are preparing to open their headquarters on the parkway about Ociober 1 to get in a week's practice prior to the running of the sweepstakes. In many ways this sweepstakes event will be fully as interesting and spectacular as the Vanderbilt Cup race on the 24th. It is a novel race, fn that cars of all classes are started together, or within thirty seconds of one another, just as the Vander bilt Cup cars are started, and they will gll go over the Vanderbilt Cup circuit of twenty-five miles. The smaller cars, selling for $1,000 or less, will go 100 miles, in four laps; those selling for $1,001 to $2,000 will go six laps, ahout 130 miles; those selling for $2,001 to $3,200 will go eight laps, about 200 miles; these selling for $3,001 to 34.000 will go nine laps, about 225 miles, and those selling for more than $1,000 will go ten laps. or 250 miles— which will be the distance of the Vanderbilt Cup race fourteen days later. The entry fees are so small that t will probably attract many private Small cars will be entered for $0, $2,000 cars for $75. $3.000 cars for $100, $4,000 cars for $125, and cars selling for more than $4.000 for $150. The smallest prize is $1,000, so that the man with a moderate priced car has the opportunity of winning in this race more than he paid for his car. It is prob able that other prizes will be offered for drivers. The entries will close on October 3. and the Will iam K. Vanderbilt, jr, Cup Commission, under the auspices of which the sweepstakes are to be run, reserves the right to refuse entries when it deems a class filled. It is probable that it will allow ten to fifteen cars in a class. As the smaller cars complete their laps they will be run down a chute and off the track. Special score hoards are be ing constructed by the Parkway engineers, and by these the spectators will have the opportunity of keeping close tabs on the winning cars in each event. All the public highways to be used to com plete the Vanderbilt Cup circuit will be ciosed on the 10th, just as they would have been had the elimination race been held on that date. Special deputies will guard the course, and as there is only one railway erossing at grade little danger is expected from. this source. A black signal has been installed at this one grade crossing, sO that racing cars approaching will receive timely warning of danger. There is only one railway crossing on the cement part of the circuit, and this, of course, is erossed by a cement and steel bridge, just as all public highways along the parkway are crossed. 7 Applications for eniries may be made to Jeffer gon De Mont Thompson, chairman of the Vander pilt Cup Commission, No. 437 Fifth avenue. Those desiring reservation of seats and boxes in the grandstand and parking spaces in the grandstand ktretch can aiso apply to Mr. Thompson.

Sept. 19.—Amerfca won the right to chal lenge Australia for the Davis Cup to-day, when William A. Larned and Beals C. Wright won their matches against the British players in the pre liminary round of the competition at the Lonz wood Cricket Club. The home team won by four matches to one. Larned beat J. G. Parke on Thursday in straight sets, while Wright was losing to Ritchie, the Olympic champion. Hackett and Alexander beat tha British pair in doubles yester day. Larned was unsteady at the start to-day and lost the first set of his match before he ran out a victory at three sets to one, While Wright was in worse case and lost two sets ro Parke before he won one, and faced an adverse score of to 4 in the fourth set. He was equal to the emer geney, however, and won finally at 7-5, after which the fifth set was easy. Larned was plainly nervous when his match with Ritchie began, and the Englishman ran out the first set at 6 to 4 before tha American champion found himself. Then Larned steadied down and had no trouble In taking three straight sets and the match by scores of 6—4, 6-2 6-3. The champion played brilliantly and his service made a lot of troubla for Ritchie. Wright was away off his best form when he faced Parke, and it seemed for a time that he was to lose in straight sets, as he had to Ritchie. He lost the first set at 8-10, after a plucky but in effective fight, but was completely overwhelmed in the second, which was scored by the Irish cham pion at 6-3. Then Wright pulled himself together. He seemed to recover much of his usual brilliancy, and broke through Parke's service to win the third set at 6—4. The fourth set was hard fought, and Parke led at 5—4, after outplaying his opponent. Wright

FOREIGN CARS ELIGIBLE. aol Conditions for Vanderbilt Cup Race Explained by Mr. Thom pson. Announcement was made by the Vanderbilt Cup Commission that Clifford B. Brokaw has entered an Isotta car for the Vanderbilt Cup race. This is the second foreign enty so far received, the other being a Mercedes entered by Robert Graves. That the status of the race may be fully under stood by the public and also by owners of foreign cars who wish to enter the event, Jefferson DeMont Thompson, chairman of the commission, has sent out a statement which explains several things hitherto misunderstood on account of the varying announcements in the public press. Mr. Thompson says: “In view of the fact that the race for the selee tion of the American team has been cancelled, and under the deed of gift, a team of ten cars could compete in this race, the commission desires to call the attention of American citizens owning foreign made care and American agents, whether firms or corporations, representing foreign made cars, to the fact that cars of foreign make, irrespective of sell ing price, cylinder capacity or other restrictions, save in weight. are now eligible for competition in the Vanderbilt Cup race.”

providing for a change in the character of the competition for this cup, contemplate a changs in the deed of gift, and the deed of gift has been changed by the donor, William K. Vanderbilt, ire at the request of the association. “The conditions provide simply for a tion by weight with a maximum limit of 264% The commission has also extended the date of entry, without penalization, to October 1, and the entry fee of $1000 will entitle a manufacturer enter one, two or three cars.” CIIMATE AFFECTS CHESS PLAYER. According to reports from the other side, ODN Tarrasch aseribes his lack of success in the cham pionship series at Diisseldorf to the climate. When the first four games of the series, of which Dr Lasker won three, were played the weather was rainy and foggy, and was generally depressing at least to the temperament of the challenger. This was his complaint also at Hastings in 1895, when he said the sea air affected him. After the Dues— seldorf series he expressed the hope that he would regain his form in the higher altitude of Munich. in the first five games at Munich, however, Dr. Tarrasch lost two more and drew three, but in the three games following the challenger scored two to Dr. Lasker's one. According to ths pro gramme originally outlined, the match shauld be played to a finish in Berlin. The record of the series to date stands: Dr. Lasker, 6; Dr. Tarrasch, 2- Arawn. 3.
