There is very general opinion about
the hotel Hobbies and Capitol that the
primary plan adopted by the State
democratic con- mittee will fail to meet
the expectations of its advocates and
friends.
The plan first drafted provided for
the raising OF the necessary funds, but
this was stricken ont after the speeches
Of Messrs. Watkins, Of Prince Edward:
Stuart, of Russell, and Gordon Of
Louise.
State Senator Glass was strongly
opposed to the primary plan as present
ed BY tho subcommittee and made an
effort TO have the entire plan go over
to the next State convention. With
the feature for raising the fluids from
the candidates to pay for a primary
eliminated, Mr. Glass accepts the prim-
airy plan.

SCHEME 70 GET DACK TAXES
City Will Pounce on Money 1t
Owes Delinquents.

Communication Concerning the Tax
Question Read at Board Meeting
II City Succeeds in Collecting Ali
That is Due tie Taxes Can Probably
Be Abated for at Least One Year
Get After the Big Fellows, Mr. Col
lector and Gentlemen.
The communication from Collector
Thoms relative to offsetting back taxes
and other bills by claims delinquents
may have against the city, read at the
board of finance last night, is looked
upon as the preliminary step to the
collection Of accounts due the city for
many years as well as the clearing up
Of small bills which some folks didn't
appear to be in much hurry to settle.
III the comptroller carries out the order
anybody employed by the city in any
capacity, the lawyers as well as the
common laborers, cannot collect a cent
in wages until they have squared their
accounts with the comptroller. Many
think it good thing, while others lean
to the opinion that if rigidly enforced
it will work a hardship upon people
who have been paying street and sewer
assessments in small sums, according
to their means. Some pay sewer as
sessments in sums as low as a dollar
a month, and the city attorney has al
ways taken it this way. Ii the new
order, if one might call it new, goes
into effect, man working for the city
and owning a sewer assessment can
get no pay until his account is settled
Probably this is not the intention of
the law, but inasmuch as wages is a
fair offset for such Indebtedness it is
hard to see what the comptroller can
do but hold onto all money he gets be-
longing to people who owe the city any
thing and credited it to their account
until the bill is paid. One thing that
is occasioning good deal of comment
these days is the supreme effort being
made to collect bills due the city for
the past two or three years. while
nothing is said regarding the collection
of accounts that ante-date that period.
If the bills are to be collected. and
they ought to be, it would be nothing
more than fair to commence at the
head of the list.

The MASON NEGRO
Not True That He Has Left For
Parts Unknown.
IS NOW EMPLOYED BY FAMILY

Several Negros Arrested To-Day But
Discharged for Lack of Evidchce--
Mason Confronted by the Pawn
broker, but the Latter Could Not
Recognize Him as the Man Who
Pawned the McPhec Watch.
Boston. Nov 7.-Prompted by tho
finding of the watches OF Agnes Nc
Phee and Clara A. Morton, the two
women who have been murdered in
assault cases in this vicinity, in a
pawn shop here, the police are press
ing with all their energy to place if
possible, the responsibility for the
crimes. The state police, having
brought aboHt the arrest Of Alan c.
Mason Of Boston are accommodating evil
dence to supplement- that upon which
Mason was held last Wednesday on
charge cf numbering Miss Morton. AT
the same tine the Boston police. llav-
ing found the watch not only of Miss
Morton who was killed at Waverly
last Saturday evening, but also that Of
Miss McPhee who was fatally assault
.ed in Someryillc October 8. are probing
for evidence to show whether one per-
son could have been guilty OF both
crimes and also to explain several tnys-
terious. phases Of the two cases. This
far it appears that ono watch was
pawned by negro while the other
was sold by white man. 10 find
these men, the entire police force OF
the city has been at work in vain for
4S hours. Meanwhile. it has been
learned that negro employed by the
Mason family has gone away from the
city and the police cannot ascertain
where he is. It was negro who
pawned the Morton watch.
On the other clue. the pawn broker
who held the McPhee watch went to
Cambrideto-day to have look at
Mason for the purpose Of Identified
tion. as he claimed that the man who
pawned the watch was a white man.
During last night and early to-day
three negros were arrested in connec-
tion with the assault cases They were
examined this forenoon and DISCHARGED
FOR lack Of evidence The negro who
has charge of Mason's house was at
his work as usual this morning all
though the police said that he had gone
away. Joseph Nemser the pawn
broker who had the watches of the
women, failed to-day to pick out A. G.
Mason as the man who pawned the
watch.

The Baroness Is Now in New York,
Visiting Her Father She Also Says
He Did Not Come to the United
States for Wife, But to Learn
American Methods of Farming.
New York, Nov Baroness Won
Muenchhausen, wife Of the Hanover
ian nobleman who has 5ust lost MS
suit in Berlin against two of the mem
bers of the alleged marriage syndl-
cate" is visiting her father in this city.
The baroness declares that her nus
band had no knowledge OF the alleged
aims Of the syndicate when he bor-
Iowed funds from Eissler, one of the
men named in the suit. He was poor
officer in the German army. she con-
tinued, and had run into debt. His
estate, handed down from the great
story teller, was in the hands OF a
cousin and the baron was compelled
to raise funds to support his position in
the army. He did not learn until af-
terWards, she says, that he was in the
hands of an organized band whose op-
erations were alleged to have been
carried on for some time among mem
bers of the German aristocracy. 1t
was true, she admits, that the baron
was engaged at the time to a south
ern girl of great wealth and that after
he came to this country the engage
ment was broken. owing to religious
differences. While in this country the
baron, she explained, learned the OBJ
ject of his creditors and broke off all
communication with them.
Instead of seeking an heiress he
was in the United States to study
American methods of farming and
pursued this object in the west and in
Virginia for some time. While he
was in New York in 1898 the baron
met her father. who invited him to
their home. Their engagement fol-
lowed and the wedding was celebrated
on December /, 1898.
The estate, which is said to be one
of the finest in northern Germany,
was taken from the hands of the bar
on's cousin later and the couple have
since resided there. The baroness
says a syndicate was formed to pros
pect for oil on the lands and afforded
him money with which the baron set
tied his Indebtedness to Eisslte The
baron, she says, compelled the latter
to return notes for S3T5,000 which he
had signed and then Brought the suit
mentioned.
Baroness Muenchhausen's sister,
previous to the formers marriage,
had become the wife of Baron Yon AS
ten and resided in Berlin.
