Haywards had two motives for giving
the barbecue, and each operated to stimu-

fiesta. One motive was TO give the cause
of Republlcanism a boost in a vicinity
that usually favors the enemy, the other
was to demonstrate that Haywards is the
natural center of what will be the new
county when Alameda County is divided.
Both purposes were served, and the people

graduating themselves tonight that they
stood hand in hand to play the part of

Poputst RoseIte Says He Has offered
Moneu bY RepssbLicans.


ST. LOUIS. No, Oct. 24.-State Chair
man Roselle OF the Peoples party charges
that four times since the nomination of
the Populist ticket he has been offered
money from Republican sources to use his
influence toward keeping full third party
ticket IN the field. In an interview to-day
Mr.. Roselle is quoted as saying:
"Mr. Jones (nominee for Governor) has
suffered enough abuse and vile insinua-
tions because Of his withdrawal from the
contest for Governor. 1t is time the truth
should be told. Money has been offered
the Populist candidates and the commit
tee repeatedly during the campaign from
Republican sources. If any Populist has
fallen into treachery or has been influenced
to act by money it has been by Republican
money. Not one dollar, not p. edge of
office has been made by Democrats.
Republican money was offered me, and
not only me, but Mr.. Jones, to oppose
electoral fusion with the Democrats and
to keep the State ticket intact" he said.
Republican money was offered Others OF
the Populists Also and l have hot the
slightest hesitation now in saying that
some of it was accepted"
After refusing three offers, Chairman
Roselle says the alleged representatives of
Chairman Filley of the Republican State
Committee made another proposition to
him in the following languages: "'The
moment you file your whole State ticket
at Jefferson City, he said, the s'old man.
(meaning Filley),s will produce for you
$1,000, and / am authorized 10 say that you
can have $4,000 more on which to make a
red hot straight campaign
"This man even went so far as to pro-
duce checks in my presence. My patience
became exhausted. and / said just this, !"
continued Mr.. Roselle. You must go
back to Filley and tell him Tor me to go to
hell. will not say one word or move one
finger to influence the Populist State Com
mittee to aid geldbug for any Office from
governor to constable"
Mr.. Roselle says he was also offered
$1,000 for his influence in keeping Judge
North out of the race for Attorney Gen
eral.
Chairman Filley of the Republican State
Committee was asked in regard to the
charges of bribery al stated by Mr.. Rosele
and said: 1.-The whole thing is barefaced
lie. l had no such representative Idon't
do business IN that illegal way. But I
would not be surprised ii a certain Populist
had some Republican money, if some of
his close friends do not misre present him.
That is all the answer have to make"

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 24-The great
scarcity of deep-sea tonnage has brought
about remarkable condition of affairs in
the shipping trade. The scarcity of ships
has compelled the shippers to turn to the
owners of large schooners to help them
out. Several four-masted schooners have
been chartered for deep-sea voyages. One
of the largest has been chartered to load
on the berth at Baltimore with grain snd
general cargo for Antwerp. Some Medi-

master. There was a guard at the door.
