The Democrats in Congress do not gen
canoe 20 the defeat Of Senator James K.
Jones al the Arkansas primaries.
Many sincere expressions OF regret are
heard among his associates in Congress.
especially In the Senate. where he is held
In high esteem. His defeat. however. is
attributed 70 local conditions in Arkan-
sas. and the opinion is expressed by many
Democrats that # does reflect political
conditions outside the State. The idea
that it indicates hostility 10 the political
doctrines which Mr. Jones stands for is
rejected upon the assertion that the
Democracy OF Arkansas is almost "a unit
in support Of those doctrines and had
they been Al issue. IL is insisted. he de-
feat OF Mr.. Jones would have been impOs-
sible.
A few Democrats of political shrewd-
ness, however, say that while his defeat
has no relation to national issues his re.
tirement cannot help but have some in
fuence upon the future Of the party.
To Retain Craftsmanship.
Only one Senator today expressed the
belief that Senator Jones would speedily
retire from the Craftsmanship OF the Dem
Oerstie National Committee and the
opinion Of that one was based on the ex-
preston 10 him some time ago BY Scna-
tor Jones of a desire and a purpose 10
retire
In every other quarter the opinion was
expressed that Senator jones would re-
tain ;he Craftsmanship until the meeting
OF the national convention 1904. when "A
new committee and a new chairman would
be selected.

Democratic party which places Senator
Jones like Hon. W. J. Bryan. in an atti-

POLICE REVOLT MAY
BREAK Up SYSTEM. "
Another New York Precinct
Force Takes Action.
Captain Cooney's Men Follow the Ex-

NEW YORK. April Everyone now
believes that the system which has
ruled the police force here for many years
is in danger OF breaking up What in
spired the patrolmen Of Captain Foody's
precinct suddenly to take up the enforce
ment Of the excise law was question
on which some interested persons could
not agree. but the opinion was unanimous
that their action had given the system
q tremendous jolt.
Nest likely the policemen reached their
decision when they saw for themselves
how well the district attorney. whose eye
has been on Captain Foody for some time,
had spread his snares through their pre-
cinet. While Captain Foody's policemen
found eighteen violstcrs Of the excise law
in the precinct, District Attorney Je-
rome's detectives and the Parkhurst men
found sixty-six.
Self-PreseTvation the First Law.
In the system" self preservation is the
first law, and the policemen who ar
raigned the excise violators In court to-
day we're willing 10 admit privately the
stimulating influence Of District Attorney
Jeroms's announcement that he meant 10
hold the patrolmen directly responsible
for the lawbreaking at which they con

EFFECT OF DEFEAT
OF SENATOR JONES

To this extent a few OF the Democrats

actly wat Mr. Jones would have done
would receive greater encouragement aud
fewer difficulties.

Of the best informed men in Congress

said today that he was confident that the
Senator would not now resign the chair
manshin Of the national committee He
said that there would be no reason fos
the resignation. that IL would be two
years before the committee would hold

for some extraordinary reason, that this
meeting would be but a short time before
the national convention. when a new
designation OF the committee by States
would be made the chairman being either
reelected or superseded; and that the
retirement Of the chairman meanwhile
would serve no purpose except TO excite
unnecessary agitation
Views Of Senators.
Senator A. o. Bacon Of Georgia said
that in his opinion the political signih-
canoe Of Senator Jones defeat is purely
local and that the only national consider
alton is the loss 10 the Senate Of one 50
able and experienced As the Senator from
Arkansas. He did not think it would re-
suit In any changes which would not have
come had Mr.. Jenes been elected.
Senator Henry NJ Teller said he did not
think there is any national significance in
the Arkansas primaries. The people Of
Arkansas. ne believes. think as Senator
Jones does on national questions.
Representative J. F ShafrOth OF Col
orado expressed a firm conviction that
Senator Jones would not resign from the
Craftsmanship II the national committee.
When the national convention meets. ne
said. new committee will be organized
ami the selection OF a chairman will be
made in accordance with the platform
then adopted and the views OF the candi-
date for the Presidency then nominated.
There viii be no reason why the defeat
OF Mr.. Jones for reelection TO the Senate
