NIXON IN THE RACE.
Announces His Candidacy for Mayor
of New York.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Lewis Nixon last
night announced that he is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for may
or. He made public a statement in
which he said: Il am a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for mayor of
the city of New York. This statement
is made with full knowledge of the
uncertainties of the Democratic situa-
ton. / desire to make it clear that l
am willing to make a stand with those
Democrats however small their number
who believe that the Democratic party
of this city should lead and not follow
in the forward march of municipal re-
FORM
Speaking of the municipal campaign.
Mr. Nixon said:
THE battle will be won or lost on To-
cal issues that are old enough to have
gained a permanent hold on the public
mind These issues are police black
mail and that mercenary spirit which
breeds dishonesty in the public service.
To them may be charged all the party's
recent loss of local prestige. The De-
mocracy has not been beaten on these
issues by Republican votes alone by any
means 1t has been beaten chiefly by
Democratic votes.
THE Democratic party of the city has
all the issues in its favor except these
two 1t is easily within its power to
throw off their dead weight when it
makes up its mind to do so. Its right
to dominancy will be restored as soon
as it does There can be no doubt of
the result of any campaign in which the
party explicitly and without equivoca-
ton commits itself to the reforms for
which the city has four times voted in
ten years
Mr. Nixon would say nothing more
about his candidacy.

TRUST DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Views With Disfavor the Santa Fe's
Beet Sugar Work.

Extensive experiments are being
made by the industrial department of
the Santa Fe in the culture of the
sugar beet in various western states.
II is the company's purpose to estab-
fish beet sugar factories at various
points in the west. 1t is said the ex-
.periments are being closely watched by
the sugar trust. which views the plan
with disfavor.
The Santa 1Te has already accomp-
lished much at Rocky Ford, Colo. and
other points and the trust is reported
to have purchased a big plant at Grand
Junction and to be negotiating for sim
liar purchases. The experiments in
question are being carried on near the
cities of Icmporia, Atchison. Hutchin-
onn, Great Bend. Arkansas City and
Independence. The soil in the vicinity
of these cities is said to be especially
adapted to the culture of the sugar
beet and inducements will be offered
by the Santa. Fe road to those who will
agree to settle on the lands and take up
sugar beet culture.

The Chicago Post says that dispute
over the purchase Of Santa Fe stock is
what led to q DISRUPTION OF the alliance
between Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. The Post says:
satisfactory confirmation was OBJ
tanned TODAY of report that the rela-
lions between f. II. Hartman and the
firm Of Kuhn. Loeb & co. have been
broken of as guardedly published in
these dispatches yesterday. The re-
newal of close business relations be-
tween the Hill-Morgan railroad interest
and Mr.. Hartman is the outcome of
the split between Hartman and Kuhn
Loeb.
There are two stories explaining the
rupture in the old Union Pacific party.
One Is that Hartman believes Kuhn
Loeb broke faith with him in a stock
deal. AS this story goes. Mr.. Hartman
started in several months ago to adj
vance Union Pacific in the market and
advised his best friends to participate
with him in its purchase around 81 to
SO. It is said that the stock was offered
so freely as to arouse Mr. Hartmann
suspicious. and that upon investigation
he found the Kuhn-Loeb firm unload
ing long stock upon him and his
friends. The breach caused by this
discovery has been widening and finally
Mr.. Hartman has taken up with the
Hill-Morgan interest, the arch oppon-
ent of the kuhn-Loeb interest.
THE other story Is that Mr. Harri-
man believed the purchase of Atchison
control to be good policy and deter
mined upon it; that Kuhn-Loeb did not
approve the plan and that their dis
agreement over the Atchison matter led
to a parting. 1t appears that recent
purchases of Atchison have been for
Hartman. and that the control of the
Santa F'e rests with the securities COM
pany controlled by Hartman. This
company Ow MS a large amount of Tlli-
nois Central, and It is understood it
will control the Alton and Kansas City
Southern in the near future.
Mr.. Harriman's alliance with the
Hill Morgan interest means. of course.
that the Northern Securities and Erie
properties will be very friendly to the
railroad securities company. The Rock
Island interest also will work hand and
glove with the Hill Morgan Hartman
interest, it is understood"

FEW CATTLE TO BE FED.
Central Kansas Feeders Cannot See a
Margin in It.

Junction City. Kan. Sept 2S.-The
Union Pacific yards were blocked here
several DAYS this week with cars loaded
with wheat Every few days for the
past month this has occurred. In addf-
ton to the grain shipments an almost
unprecedented shipment Of stock is TAX
ing place. For several days this week
over 100 carloads of cattle have passed
through the yards here on their way to
the eastern markets. Seldom have such
big shipments of stock been made
through this place at this season OF the
year.
There is going to be little stock feed
ing for the market this fall and winter
in this part of the state. The fat cattle
are being shipped out. but it is very
noticeable that very few feeders are be-
ing shipped in. Some of the men who
have been the biggest stock feeders in
this part of the state say that the rea-
son that they are not going to feed stock
for the market this season is that the
difference between the price of feeders
and the price of fat cattle is too small,
and that it would be impossible for them
to make a profit on the feeding
