May Not Consent to be a Candidate.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22-The Pennsvl-
vania friends of William f. Harritv. of
the Democratic national committee. do
not believe that he will consent to have
his name presented in the INDIANAPOLIS
convention as n candidate for the presi-
dency. For that reason they do not look
with favor upon the suggestion made in
Chicago, Washington and New York, that
Mr. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, and Daniel
w. Lawler, of Minnesota, should consti
tute the Democratic z Did standard ticket.
Mr.. Harrity himself declares he is out of
politics and will not discuss the matter
but those of his friends who are support
ing the movement for gold ticket claim
that the strongest ticket that could be
namrd would consist of candidate for
the presidency from one of the northwest
ern states and a candidate for the vice
presidency from one of the southern states
The names of Bragg of Wisconsin, and
Buclner, of Kentucky, or Palmer, of Illi-
nois and Buckncr, of kentucky, are re.
garded by them as particularly strong.

upon the statement that Senator Hill had
told Mr.. Danforth he would support and
work for him (Mr. Bryan He said in
relation to that question 1T is not Sena-

CLAIM OF IMPOSITION MADE
A Case If Almost General Interest
Before Justice Green.
AFFECTS BENEFICIAL SOCIETIES
A Member Of a Society Brings Suit to Re-
cover Sick Benefits and is Met With
a Claim That He was Really
Not Disabled

Justice Green, Of VIM. Penn, has under
consideration a case which is Of almost gen
erl interest and his decision will be- awaited
with much interest The many beneficial
organizations will be especially interested. as
1t Is believed to be the first instance in which
an old complaint has been given publicity.
Ihe case is one in which one Joseph Kaz-
Jinske, of Vim. Penn, sues the St Peter &
St Paul Society, of town, to recover two
weeks sick benefits amounting to $40 The
case was heard before Justice Green last
night and NJ. VI. Burke. ESD, in making
argument before the Justice in behalf of the
society stated that the case was only an
eruption Of what has been source Of annoy-
ance to many organizations in this region for
several years and that he believed some good
would be attained by the suit if it only gave
warning to imposters that the people realized
the crooked work that was going on among
certain classes who seem to Join beneficial
organizations only for the cash they can
drain from it, Mr.. Burke said the St Peter
* st. Paul Society was not trying to avoid
paying the small sum of ten dollars. but
was willing to spend ten times the amount to
squelch the well-tO-do sick man. He said the
society had spent hundreds of dollars in sick
benefits annually and there was reason In
believe that it had been imposed upon and in
the present case it had been discovered that
while drawing benefits the claimant had been
drinking intOxicants in saloons. Mr.. Burke
also stated that the claimant had re-
ceived about 5000 in benefits from the
society, that he was member of two other
organizations and when sick his combined
receipts amounted to more than the man
could earn at his work in the mines if he
worked full time every day in the week. The
attorney intimated that the other societies of
which the claimant was member depended
upon the result of the suit to direct their
course.
The only evidence in the case on the part
of the claimant was his own testimony, in
which he stated that he had been member
of the organization for five years and had
drawn benefits twice. He said he suffered
from 'Amonia" during the last Hines and
upon being cross-eXamined stated that the
certificates Of illness We're not procured from
his regular physician because the physician
was too busy to call and see him at the time.
The plaintiff also stated that once before the
same society refused to pay him Benefits.
Justice Green realizes the interest that has
been aroused by the case and says he will
take his time in considering it.

This position being in direct opposition to
