NOT COMMITTED TO LOW.
GROUP ATTACKS SFUSIONISTS AND
 REPUBLICANS.
Declares They Have Deliberately Put Aside .the Principle "That the Busi- ness Affairs of Municipal Corpora- tions should be Managed Upon Their : own meriis"--AiIoges Attempt to Re- pubIicanize the Fusion Movement.

New York. Oct. 1S.-Edward M. Grout, the Tammany candidate for comptroller, made public tonight his letter of acceptance addressed to T. z. T. Grain. chairman of the Democratic city convention. MT. Grout says in part:
 T believe that the business affairs of municipal corporations should be managed upon their own merits Tn this spirit I have managed the affairs of the comptroller's office. I supposed that the Citizens Union genuinely be- lieyed and would practice this doctrine. and was deluded into the belief that the republican party had adopted it as it's guine in municipal affairs. They have deliberately put aside and repudi- ated that doctrine by republicanizing the fusion movement. The party issue has been squarely put into the cam paign by those who profess the con- trary. Until this was revealed was committed to the support of Mayor Low and resented the bitter and preju- diced attacks made upon his personality l by the district attorney. You expected, when you proposed what was then in- l tended as an endorsement and not as lan original alnomination, that would sup pert MT. Low for reelection. You in tended to eliminate the comptroller's office from contest and to leave me free
 to act as my judgment and conscience should dictate.
 l "But I was not committed to the support of Mayor Low in any unreason-
 able sense. had during my term of office publicly criticised the conduct of l the fire commissioner and had objected
 to the expenditure of public money to induce crimes and to the employment of plain clothes men to enforce the Sum- I day excise law. I was the only public official of the city to say word against 5l the increase os the excise tax and the
 increase of the share of the state in that tax. or to protest against the proposed
 repeal of the franchise tax. while the
 mayor in the one case supported the measures and in the other observed si- fence. It is now clear that he was in
 accord with the republican schemes ot I taxation which have of late years been I so hostile to the interests of the city of
 New York and has so steadily and
 greatly increased it's contribution to the
 expenses of state government.
 T have been reproached as traitor
 and as an apostate. A change of opin- j ion when the facts and the circum.
 stances have changed is neither treach.
 cry nor apostacy. Once it became cleai ; to me that this contest had lost it's pre-.
 tense of non-Dartisan discussion ot . local questions. that those who were
 with me had abandoned the only prin.
 ciDle which held us together that tht , fusion party had become sentimentally republican, then inevitably I go witt , the democratic party. It is my formel [ associates who have for saken the prin l ciole upon which we stood. not wht :, dc so."

FIGHT TOR BOTS cUsToDY.
Father Claims Son After Ysar,s Alb.
 sence.

+ < ~ t | Newport, R. T., Oct 1s.- Sheriff Mum ford, of Providence, came here last night with habeas corpus papers from the appellate division of the supreme court in Providence directing him to secure the custody of Charles Halsey
 Bates. the fourteen -year-old son of Dr.. William Bates, of New York, who had
 been stopping here with his stepmother and her mother. Dr. Bates first wife died when the boy was about two years
 old and the doctor married again few
 years ago. The doctor disappeared
 from New York and went abroad, but
 all trace of him was lost in London.
 Since then the boy has lived with his
 stepmother and stepgrandmother. The
 habeas corpus papers, which were serv- ed to-day. were secured by c. Peterson,
 of New York, brother-in-law of the boys mother. and his grandmother, whose home is in Ketcherly, and the
 writ alleges that the boy is being "im- |prisoned and restrained by Ada Bates and E. Seaman (the latter being the boys stepgrandmother). The sheriff took possession of the boy, who will be taken before the court in Providence on Wednesday. &
 The boys stepmother is prostrated tonight and expresses her determina- ton to contest the case in court.

1rALIAN WoMAN,s REVENGE.
shoot. Down Wife of Man Who Had
 Dtspossessed Her.

New York, Oct. 1S.--All the police re- serves of Brooklyn were tonight searching the swamps and heits arouni Bath Beach for Antoinette Delesuotta, voun- Italian woman, who fired two shots at Mrs. Elizabeth Marvin, both of which took effect in the lower part of her body. Mrs. Marvin was taken to the Norwegian hospital in critical condition. At the time the shots were fired Mrs. Marvin was holding baby in her arms. It is thought this saved her life, as the Italian woman did not want to kill the child and fired low. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Margaret Stone. where Mrs. Marvin called to engage Mrs. Stone to do wash ing. Two months ago MT Marvin had dispossessed the Deltamotta woman from a flat he owned. and the Italian believed Mrs. Marvin was responsible for it.
 When Mrs. Marvin entered the house the Deltamotta woman approached her land, drawing revolver from the folds Of her dress, said: Now I'll settle with you. I'll save your child, but you are going to die.'
 She fired twice, aiming below the feet of the baby in Mrs. Marvin's arms, and Mrs. Marvin sank to the floor. The Italian woman then fled.

FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL AIRsHIP.
Dr. August Gre,h of san Francisco
 Sails About.


 San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-Dr. August Greth, who for year past has been working on an airship, to-day surprised the residents of San Francisco by sail ing over their heads for two hours. di- recting his machine almost at will and demonstrating that in many essentials he has solved the problem of aerial navigation. .:--
 Dr. Greth had previously tested his airship by making ascensions with the balloon held captive by long rope, but to-day was the first time that he had gone skyward free. The ascension was made from a lot almost in the heart of the city, and Dr. Greth attempted to encircle a towering newspaper building about a mile eastward, but found the high currents too strong for his power and then turned in an opposite direc- |tion. The winds carried him ocean ward and for a time he hoyered over the vicinity of the Golden Gate, making various successful trials of his steering gear. The currents threatened to take him out over the Pacific and he decided to make a landing on the parade grounds of the Presidio military reser- vation, but made the mistake of letting out too much gas and he landed in the bay about two hundred feet from the shore.
 The crew of the life-saving station rescued the aeronaut and the flying machine, which was little damaged by the unfortunate termination of the voy- age The balloon of Greth is cigar shaped and has capacity of 50,00O feet of gas. with a lifting capacity of 1,SOO te 2, GOO pounds. The car is similar in con tstruction used by Santos-Dumont and iweghs about zoo pounds.
 The engine Is a twelva-horse-power I gasoline motor and the total weigh lcarried skyward, including that of the inventor and 26O pounds of ballast, was
 about 1,6OO pounds. For some inexpli, cable reason the motor would not de Iyelop more than six-horse-po and IDr. Greth found considerable difficulty lin making headway against the cur Trent.

4 GOOD ADDRESS
Delivered by Charles Il. Yatman in Toy
 Auditorium.

Charles n. Yetman. the great Ocean Grove Evangelist, yesterday afternoon in Foy auditorium delivered a magnetic address. He carried his audience through his entire address in the closest communion with his own ideas and the power of his story of the life Christ meant men to live on this earth was felt by every man who heard him speak.
 MT. Yatman chose for his subject Lamb or Tiger" He placed the great trials of every Christian life in the strength to live Christian. die a Christian and stand before the judg- ment seat fearing nothing.
 seThe Tiger or the Lamb" MT. Yatman
 chose as representing the two charac- .eristics of man. The tiger by birth, having all the mate sinfulness. selfish- ness and badness which the flesh is heir to, man must have instilled into him the spirit of the Lamb to overcome the treacherousness of human nature before he can truly live the Christian life he
 may confess.
 Mr. Ya.rian further illustrated his meaning by the grating of a spring from | the pippin tree into the crabapple tree. the crabapple limbs may all be cut off and nothing but the delicious pippin will come from the tree. but if the suckers are allowed to gather around the base Of the tree then pippin will lose it's
 flavor and the fruit will not be what it should be.
 The professed Christian who does not live life such as he should was ap-
 2ealed to as well as the man who has not as yet tried to live Christian life,
 The after-meeting was the largest held I this fall. The soloist of the afternoon Twas Mrs. John Slade Ely. Brigadief
 General Lamb of the Salvation Army
 will be the speaker at the mass meeting lnext Sunday.

DoWIE DIsPLEAsED.
Great New York Audiences Leave After
 Satisfying cnriosity.:

New York, Oct. 1S.--John Alexander Dowie, who calls himself Elijah the Restorer," faced his first New York audiences to-day. and although Madi- son Square Garden was thronged at the afternoon and evening meetings, and thousands were turned away from the doors, he found himself confronted with what he called new experience when thousands, having evidently sat- isfied their curiosity, threw the meet ings into confusion by their sudden ex- odus before the ceremonies had more than fairly begun. Commands to close the doors and prevent exit were un- ayailing and the prophet gave vent to displays of petulancy on finding that it was one thing to gather great New York crowd but quite another affair to command it's interest after the first de- mands of curiosity had been satisfied. The house to house yisitatioHs ny the hosts of Zion and the regular series of crusade meetings will be inaugurated tomorrow. H Y X

LARGE MILITARY CAMP.
aansuvsr. in Kan.a. Begin To-day General Hamilton to Attend.

General Hamilton to Attend.
 Fort Riley. Kansas. Oct. 1S.-The lar gest military camp ever formed in this country in time of peace is now located here on the government reservation. About 12,OOO men are here and by to- morrow morning it is expected the total will be increased to 13.O00.
 The general scope of the manoeuvres, which will commence in full strength tomorrow and continue for a fortnight is the most comprehensive that has yet been arranged, and practically every situation a soldier can be called upon to face in time of war, save the two so eminently disagreeable- danger of death and lack of rations-is comprised in the programme. It is safe to say that, from a sanitary point of view, no better camp was ever designed. Every possible arrangement has been made by Major Baker. chief quartermaster, who has laid miles of water pipe, built bath houses and provided seemingly for everything.
 The troops will be divided into four brigades. of infantry, commanded, re- spectively. by Brigadier- Generals Bell Grant and Barry, of the regular army and Hughes, of the Kansas National Guard. It is expected that there will bt greater number of foreign military at taches in attendance upon the pres- ent series of nnanoeuvres than upon any previous similar occasions. Colone Raspapoff, of the Russian army, ans Colonel Foster and Colonel Birbeck, ot the British army, have been at Fort Riley for two days. Lieutenant- Colo mel Monteverde, of the Spanish army arrived to-day. General Ian Hamilton of the British army, is to arrive late ! ill the week.
 The work for tomorrow will be al attack upon rear guard.

Onered for Finding Missing Son q
 RIiiitonaire Wentz

Bristol. Tenn. Got 1s.-Five days have elapsed since B. L. Wentz. the son of a Philadelphia millionaire, mys- lteriously disappeared in the mountains Of Wise county. Virginia. and notwith- standing that a party of a thousand men has been securing the mountains for four days, no clue has been gained as to what has become of him. Daniel L. Wentz, brother of the missing man. has increased the reward for finding the young man from s5, 900 to s26, 900, provid- ed he shall be returned alive. Should he be found dead the reward will be $5,000.
 The theory is held that he has been murdered as a matter of spite by ma raude.s on the property of the coal company which he represented, but it is not impossible that he is being held by kidnappers for a reward.
