A ROTHScHlLD IN JAIL.

The richest man in Paris has been
! sentenced to Jail.
He is Baron Henri de RothschllG.
| And
He will remain in Jail but a single
| dag.
The cffense for which this big man
has been fined and sentenced to enc
day in prison Is that Of speeding his
automobile beyond the limits of the
law. It IS the fourth time he has been
arrested for like infraction of the law.
Three times he has been arrested, fined
and sentenced and In each case pardon.
ed. He has been warned by the police
time without number.
In every case the baron has haughtily
refused to obey the law. treating the
officers with contempt.
And now
Sentenced TO SPEND a day in the
prison OF La Santa he is to be accom-
panied by procession of 1.-THE most
beautiful and fashionable women of
Paris earring bouquets Of flowers and
hand embroidered banners and &C.
companled by musicians playing con-
solitory music. They will welcome
him again when he comes out, the
musicians then playing triumphal airs.'
More than that:
Some of these heightened friends of
the baron have applied for permission to
stay inside the prison to cheer him I'D.
But the government is somewhat I'm.
couthly democratic and these kind
friends Will wait outside.
All! the dear MARTYR!
And why should the Baron de Roths-
child be escorted to prison as X he were
a king? Because he is richer than
Croesus?
Not that alone
1t is because, deep down in the hearts
Of these patrician friends, there Is
contempt for the lava contempt like
that shown by Rothschild. They are
birds of a feather.
It is this way
The law ls for the plebeans. We are
above it. What a shame to send an
elegant gentlemen like the dear baron
to common Jail! OF course there may
be danger to the canaille and their
children in speeding ones auto, but
why should these people and their brats
persist In getting in the way of ones
mRchineP
1t Is the Old, old assertion of special
privilege against which the people have
striven since Magma Charta day.
1t is the claiming of a franchise or
peculiar benefit not enjoyed by ala
derOgatlon of the general right.
Of such fabric is the doctrine of the
divine right of kings.
And America. also. has it's privileg- |
ed classes-those who seek exemption |
from the burdens and liabilities which |
fall upon the shoulders of the common |
people. They make no displays of CD. |
position to TIE law such as the friends |
OF Rothschild make. They secure
priority of benefits, not by opposing the |
law, but by means of the law. They |
get their immunity, their preIogatiYes,
by special legislation-a safer method. !
Which is the more dangerous?
While Baron Rothschild goes to Jail |
in his spectacular way-a martyr in the
eyes of his feliows-in the eyes of the
public the law is yindicated.
But when the law gives license what
shall be said?
Nevertheless, the days Of special
privilege are numbered. The people
are slowly coming into their own. It
has been long fight and a hard fight.

SHEEH4N FOR FUSION.
Expects Tammany To Be Defeated
4gmn-Cantor zcith Him.
PRAISE FOR LOW Administrations

John c. Sheehan. leader of the Gree ter New
York Democracy, denied emphaticaily yesterday
the runors Of disanection lack OF harmony
unequivocally announced that the Greater New
York Democracy stands for another fusion
movement. and declared that Borough President
Cantor is in entire harmony with that pro-
gramme. Mr.. Sheehan said: "AH this talk
about the Greater New-York Democracy uniting
with Tammany Hall is pure invention. and with
out the slightest basis OF truth There is not the
remotest possibility of any alliance with Tam
many Hall. The Greater New-York Democracy
will teke the same position next fall as in 1901
1t was organized to oppose Tammany and will
tion is to-day just as determined TO oppose Tam
many as in the past
Borough President Cantor has consistently
fought Tammany Hall for some years. and
know he remains steadfast in his opposition The
organization is unanimously in favor OF another
fusion movement. because are all satisfied
that 1t will result in another defeat for Tam
many. 1t seems TO me that all that is necessary
is for the organizations opposing Tammany Hall
believe will result in the continued exile of Tam
many from the City Hall
'The Fusion administration has been success
full in all respects. and the good results are be-
coming more manifest every day. wish to en-
rhasize this point The Greater New-York
Democracy is for another fusion ticket. and such
a ticket will be swept to victory at the polls

FAIL TO SETTLE STRIKE
Gompers Still Hopes for Speedy
Il 4greement-WOre Men Out.

/ The attempt made by President Gompers and
Vice-President Duncan of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor to settle the local war between
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Amalga-
mated Carpenters Society, by bringing about
a conference between committees of both bodies,
proved a failure yesterday. When the commit
tees Of both unions reconvened at the Ashland
House yesterday morning the subcommittee
appointed the evening before to try and draw up
plan Of settlement agreeable to both sides re-
ported that it failed to come to an agreement on
that point. n the mean time more strikes
were ordered yesterday, and the fight is to con-
unue, though a movement for national ANAL
gamation of the two bodies, which begun
some time ago. has not been abandoned.
After yesterdays conference was over Mr..
Gompers made a statement, in which he said
that when the subcommittee made it's report
the two committees had discussed plans in a
general way without reaching an agreement
He added:
The representatives Of the Brotherhood were will
Of the American Fedsration Of Labor with some
notifications The representatives of the Amalga-
mated Society however rejected the plan outright
This, they said. because the Board Of Building
gained before they could accept the plan; The
proposition they would not agree to that in
volved between the two unions it is desirable that
Ihe stTlke should 5e declared at an end; that the
that the Amalgamated Society withdraw its claim
tor 4 specific percentage of work. all contracts to
be open to members Of both unions indiscriminate
ly. The entire further discussion of the 1t
nlittee OF five of each national union appointed in
accordance with resolution adopted at the last
convention Of the Federation in New Orleans
elected an eleventh man umpire to bring about
sentatives refused the whole plan. They told me-
however that might hear from them by Monday
or Tuesday, as the Board of Building Trades meets
on Monday. This makes me hope that there is still
a chance for settlement. though We failed to
reach one.
Strikes of carpenters were ordered more
buildings by the business agents of the Brother
hood yesterday, especially in the nelghboraood
Of WaIl-st. There procession of several hun
dred new strikers followed the delegates, who
invited every Brotherhood they work
ing TO join in the parade. The invitation. being
4 command, always accepted.
Daniel Featherstone, secretary of the execu-
tive committee Of the Brotherhood, said the
Brotherhood stood ready for arbitration. and
would. in case OF amalgamation. guarantee the
members of the Amalgamated Society the ben
eft they would lose by giving up their national
union.
The George A. Fuller Company's representa-
tIves said yesterday that the Amalgamated So
ciety so far had been able to supply 81 per cent
Of the men needed. The leaders of the Brother
hood said last evening that they would order
strikes on the George A. Fuller Company's jobs
in Boston, Philadelphia. St Louis and Pitts
burg The fight would be continued also against
other contractors who have out of town con-
tracts.
