emphatically asserted that the classes
have arrayed themselves against the

vert the workingman to q policy
against which he had always bee n
arrayed until the glittering shekels
of the republican boss were cast be-

viewed the benefits to the common

how faithfully and patiently the peo-
pie had stood BY the Wall street poll

them in the face now compels them
in order to keep their little homes
and families to wrench the powers of

The Gordon company went to

MI. Gordon tried hard last night to get

one of the horses belonging to the Poto-
mac Stone Company, and engaged in haul
ing stone to the site Of the new Methodist
University, was discovered yesterday by
Mr. Rabbit of the Humane Society to be
totally unfit for such heavy work, owing
10 very apparent disabilities. and Mr.. Chas
q. Smith of the firm was charged with
cruelty to animals. and obliged to leave

MI William Zell Is still dangerously ILL
Ora ham l.. Gordon was arrested and held
all night in the station house last night be-
cause of misunderstanding concerning
check for 1926, which had been given by
MN to K. Harris & Co. The check, it is
claimed, was worthless. 1t was one that
Gordon had received from another person
In settlement of an insurance premium and
believed to be good. The matter was salts
factorily explained today. and it appears
that Mr.. Gordon was wholly innocent The
charge against him was rolle prosecuted.
