HARRITY rs DEPOSED.
Pennsylvania Democrats Say He Is
Not In accord With Party
Principles.

READING, Pa, Aug. 30.-By vote OF
So to 26, the State Democratic Com mittee
adopted resolution declaring vacant the
seat of William F. Harrity of Philadel-
phia in the National Democratic Commit
tee. The committee met in the rooms OF
the Americas Club, by direction of the
executive committee, to consider the
vacancy in the National Committee. The
proceedings were exciting from start to
finish, and at one stage policeman was
called upon by State Chairman Garman
TO eject Timothy O'Leary of PIttsburg,
for interrupung the speakers. O'Leary is
not a mem Der of the committee. State
Chairman Garman presided, except for
short time, when he surrendered the chair
to w. H. Brainton of Lancaster, to speak
upon the resolution, Immediately after
the meeting was called to order, John B.
Keene of Westm oreland offered a resolu-
ton declaring:
That a vacancy has been created and
now exists In the mem bership of the
National Committee by reason of the vol
untary withdrawal from politics and from
participation in the deliberations of the
com mittee of the late incum bent, William
T. Harrity, and that he not being in &C.
cord with the principles of the Demo-
CraLlC party James M Ouliey Oh 1lttS-
burg, who so Loyalty supported Villa ].
Bryan, be and is hereby selected to fill the
vacancy"
Magistrate Charles P. DonneIly of Phila-
delphia said the committee would make
mistake if it adopted this resolution on
the eve of the great battle for Governor.
1t was the duty of the organization, he
said, to bring about a condition of affairs
that meant aggressiveness and harmony
In the party, and the Democracy conld
not go before the populace with the ex-
pectation OF winning victories with
divided party organization. Mr.. Donnell y
denied a right of the State Committee to
create vacancy in the National Com
mittee.
A warm debate followed and then Chair
man Garman, at the request of Mr.. DON
nelly, read the correspondence between
himself and Mr.. Harrity, printed this
morning. Mr.. Garman followed with
long argument in favor of the resolution.
More heated argument followed and he
suggested the reference of the question to
W. J. Bryan. The vote followed with the
result as stated and the action of the State
committee will undoubtedly result in an
exciting time at the State convention.

Prison Authorities I'm
able to Cope With
the "FiendS."
Lack of Proper Discipline Ac-
counts for Crimes at the
Penitentiary.
Convict Tim Whaley Attempts to
Murder a Fellow-Prisoner, Who
Flees for His Life.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL. Aug.
months ago the prison authorities have
permitted few of the escapades of the con-
victs behind the walls of the States big
penitentiary TO become public property.
1t seems strange, but it is nevertheless a
fact, that large number of the convicts
carry knives and dirks concealed on their
persons. So frequent have become the
stabbing ARRAYS at San Quentin that the
general public regards them as a matter
of course.
Last week another cutting scraps was
barely prevented. Tim Whaiey, who Is
serving life sentence for murder, made
vicious assault upon Convict Morris, q
colored man doing time for burglary.
Whaley drew knife and made lunge at
Morris, who lodged the thrust and ran.
The attempt at murder was m ade near the
prison wharf, where the freigh tboats dis
charge their supplies for the penitentiary.
Whaley, In his frenzy at being foiled in
his murderous assault gave chase, and
then followed an exciting race for life.
Morris bent every energy TO keep out of
the way of his assailant, and Whaley,
with the drawn knife clutched in his
hand, pursued his intended victim until
others put stop to the chase. Whaley
was disarmed, but, though he broke a
number of the prison rules, Warden Hale
has not seen fit to punish him.
The prison authorities state that they
do not know how it is that convicts behind
the walls of the penitentiary go about
armed with knives and dirks. That the
men have these dangerous weapons has
been repeatedly shown. During the m utiny
a number OF weapons were found on the
prisoners who were searched, and in a
stabbing affray which occurred a couple of
months ago the two principals drew
weapons, one dirk and the other a razor.
Warden Hale has frequently asserte
that 1t is impossible to break up what is
known as the ''opium ring" Opium is
smuggied into the prison every day, and
the convicts are never in want of the drug.
The most esperate criminals conf 1ed in
San Quentin are the ringleaders in the
traffic which the officials of the prison
seem powerless to break up. Warden
Hale has tried every method he can de-
wise to put a stop to the smuggling, but
the criminal use of the drug goes on with
out hitch, and the convicts have any
quantity of it.
Various schemes are resorted to in order
to smugcle it behind the prison walls
x-convicts have been caught in the act
of burying the drug in the grounds sur
rounding the prison at places where the
convicts doing work in the gardens can
dig it up, hide it on their persons and
carry it into the prison to the leaders of
the opium ring, who deal it out at profit.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Aug. 30.-The
troubles of the Bensous came up before
Superior Judge AngeIlotti to-day on a
motion made by the defendant, County
Auditor and Recorder Charles II. Ben
son, for reduction of alimonv and the
custody of the boy, The reduction was

charges OF grave character against the
Recorder and decree was granted her by
Judge Angellotti. She was given the Gus
tody OF the only child, boy, and $50 a
month alimony. Mrs. Benson removed TO
Santa Cruz with the child and gave music

of her removal was to get the boy out of
his way.
Judge Angellotti, taking into considera.
tion that Mrs. Benson was earning money
in Santa Cruz. reduced the alimony $40,
making it $50 month, and denied the
motion to award the custody of the child
to the father.

Captain of the Colts Spells a Clean
Victory for His 7eam-Cham-

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 3O.-Anson spoiled
a clean victory for his Colts this afternoon by
urging Emsie to call the game at the end of
the eighth. Emslie's refusal to comply with
Anson's request brought forth vile epithet
from the big captain. For this Arson was
fined $25 and put out of the game. Then Ever
EFT and Decker commenced an argument with
Emslie and he assessed them $40 each. With
Arson out of the game the Colts were one
man short, and Emslie pulled his clock and
called the batter up. Ryan endeavored to bat,
but was called from the plate One minute
having expired and no man coming up thu
man who should have faced the pitcher was
declared out and play resumed.
When the trouble arose the score was to

Emslie called the game, the score reverting to
the eighth inning. Sullivan started to pitch,
but three home runs anG two-bagger in two
