SAM IS VERY UGLY.
Walking Delegate on Trial in New

Walking Delegate on Trial in New
 York for Extortion.
 New York. Oct. H-The trial of Sam Parks, the walking delegate, on a charge of extorting $500 from Louis Schmidt in connection with the Tiffany studios, was resumed today with the examination of talesmen. Parks seemed to be in a par- ticularly ugly mood today. and cursed the newspaper man sitting near him. who was looking closely at him.
 When recess was taken ten jurors had been chosen and the defense had exhaust ed its last perernptory challenge
 As soon as the jury was secured by the acceptance of two more talesmen, As- sistant District Attorney Rand opened the case for the prosecution. He prefaced his remarks to the Jury by saying:
 We might as well understand each other at the beginning and thoroughly un- derstand what and whom We are not trying. We are not here to antagonize the cause of labor unions nor to voice the cause or the rights of labor nor the rights or wrongs of capital. l say this to disabuse your minds of any Idea that Parks. a walking delegate of labor union. is on trial as walking delegate. The term walkirE delegate is by no means a term of reproAch, although some per sons have brought it into disrepute. Parks is here charged with a crime, a statutory one, known as extortion.'
 At the conclusion of Mir. Rand's address. MT. Osborne, for the defense. made two formal motions to dismiss the indictment. Both motions were overruled by Judge Newberger, and tho trial was adjourned until tomorrow.

ATTACK ON C F. MURPHY
HUGH McLAUaHLIN FIGHTING
 TA1G1GANY HALL.
Says Had His Advice Becn Taken, the Kings County Democrats Would Not Have Entered
 the City Convention.

New York. Oct. T.-Hugh Mclaughlin of Brooklyn, today issued another state ment attacking Charles F. Murphy and Tammany Hall In 1t MT. Mclaughlin said that had his advice been taken the Kings County Democrats would not have entered the recent city convention. On this point he said:
 But the younger men about me thought 1t would be more in accordance with pre- cedent to enter the convention and file the protest there, as they did, and ae- quiesced. This did the more readily because, despite the public impression to the contrary. practically surrendered the leadership of the party into the hands of the younger men several years ago. and had considered myself as bearing no re- lation to them other than that of an ad- visor which Is really my position today Had I felt that the duties of leadership were on my shoulders as they used to be. I would never have countenanced in any degree the insolent attitude of the Tam many leader in refusing to even discuss his proposed ticket with the representa- lives of Brooklyn.
 MT Murphy would have learned from me that the Tammany leader who under took to get along without the cooperation of Kings County in the makeup of the ticket would be under the necessity of getting along without the regular Demo- cratic vote of Brooklyn on election day. ;"
