After the committees had been Sc
iected, some man in the rear Of the
hall said:
"NIr chairman, I understand the Re-
publicans did not decide upon an en-
| blem- j want to know if the rooster
is dead? IF not, let's select him."
Hes not dead" came the reply
from a dozen men from different parts

The motion Of Mr.. SomTner was car
Tied that the city committee be en-
4 powered to Ill vacancies within itself.
c. F. Angell, who had evidently not
attended the primaries, wanted 70

that some improper work had been
used in its selection. In order to give

During the recess II was explained TO
| Mr.. Angel that the precinct conven-
/ ton had selected the men already
named. and that it had been done IN
l . regular way. Thereupon the selec-
tons were confirmed and so reported to
/ the convention, which then adjourned.

SECURITIES OF
LITTLE VALUE
&
Leroy Dresser Shown Up in
Bankruptcy Court.
OFFERED TO PAY TN FULL
ONE OF THE RECEIVERS LAYS
SCHEME BARE.
OFFERED TO PAY IN Full

New York, Oct 16.-The hearing be-
fore Stanley ". Dexter, referee in
bankruptcy, in the case Of Dresser &
Co, was resumed today. The proceed
ings have to do with attempts to es-
tablish the value Of certain securities
deposited in an endeavor to settle the
affairs of Dresser & Co, of which the
firm of D. Leroy Dresser. who is in
VOWED in the pending United States
Shipbuilding company investigation,
was the head. Dresser & Co, q COM
mission firm, went into bankruptcy
and was placed in a receivers hands
in March, 1903, with liabilities of ST.
10000. April Mr.. Dresser offered to
pay creditors in full If the business
was allowed to continue, Offering to
deposit securities Of a guaranteed
value Of $S50.O00 as security.
Not Worth the Amount.
Charles S. Mackenzie, one OF the re-
ceivers. testified that he had learned
for the first time today that the Sc
curities, which had been represented
TO him as standard stocks Of a mar
ket value Of $500 included in reality
stocks and bonds of gold mining and
undeveloped railroad companies, which
were worth less than that amount.
Elmer Afford identified an agreement
signed by him, with other guaranteers,
together with Mr.. Dresser, to turn
over $500 worth of securities, the
agreement guaranteeing them TO be
worth this amount, but he admitted
that the securities deposited were
worth much less He testified that
the purpose was to rehabilitate the
credit of Mr.. Dresser so that he might
become president Of a proposed real
estate CORPORATION
Quimby Had a Plan.
Milton c. Quimby, one Of the pro-
Roters Of the settlement, testified that
Mr.. Dresser was not allowed to know
what stocks had been deposited. Learn
ing Of the financial embarrassment Of
Mr.. Dresser, he said, he had ap-
preached Mr.. Dresser with a plan by
which Mr.. Dresser might be extricated
from his difficulties, proposing to de-
post security for the payment Of Mr..
Dresser's obligations, in return for
which Mr.. Dresser should become pres
ident Of a Staten Island realty com
pany and be given a large block Of
capital stock of $500, 600. Through
Mr.. Dresser's influence the stock was
to be marketed, the proceeds from a
part Of Mr. Dresser's allotment to be
used to redeem the securities depos-
-ited. Mr.. Dresser consented and Mr.
Quimby then Interested Mr.. AIvord and
Timothy Cohalou, acting for them
selves and others, to deposit certain
stocks and bonds as security and to
guarantee a value of $3.50 600 to
them Mr.. Quimby said he himself
did not know positively that the Sc
curities deposited were worth $3.50, 900,
but he thought the real value imma-
terial, relying on the sale Of the stock
of the realty company to raise the
necessary money fOh the satisfaction
Of Mr., Dresser's creditors and the re-
demptiOn Of the securities.

What 1t Meant.

The Germans cannot get rid of the
idea that it is honorable" to bear un-
slightly scars on their faces, telling OF
duels fought. Their emperor recog-
nizes the absurdity of this and fire.
quently tries to put a stop to the
practice, having issued an order on
one occasion directing the punishment
OF any officer duelling without his con-
sent.
Not long afterward, consent was
asked by an officer of high rank, and
graciously granted, on condition that
his majesty should be notified of the
time and place of the meeting.
When the duellists arrived on the
ground they found the emperor there
before them, and seated near a newly
erected gibbet. The challenger asked
the meaning of this, and was
astonished when the emperor gravely
replied:
1T means sir, that l intend to wit
ness your battle until one of you has
killed the other, and then l will hang
the survivor for murder!"

TELEGRAMS In BRIEF.
VENE ZUELAN.

London newspapers now declare
the Monroe doctrine was backed by
Canning at the time it was pro-
mulgated.
President Roosevelt's administra-
ton has a series of difficult problems.
Members of congress are deluged
with protests against his acting as
Venezuelan arbitrator.
British pubic still hopes President
Roosevelt will act as arbitrator, al
though the validity of American OBJ
jections is recognized. More friendly
sentiment is show toward the kaiser.
Germany will allow the Hague
peace court to arbitrate if President
Roosevelt refuses to act and Great
Britain consents. Once announce
ment was made unoffically at Berlin.
The responsibility for quick settle
ment now rests with England.
President Roosevelt's acceptance or
refusal to act as arbitrator hinges on
the restrictions imposed on MIN by
the European powers; anxiety for an
early setDement is increasing be
cause of threatened complications.
The allies already at odds.
In an interview Lopez Baralt,
Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs,
said he had not been informed of a
declaration of war by Great Britain:
Il am greatly surprised at news that
such step has been TAKEN" said
Baralt. II had believed the matter
was approaching settlement"
No confirmation could be obtained
of the report coming from Caracas
that the proposition had been made
to President Castro that all pending
differences between Venezuela and
the Europena governments having
claims against her be submitted to
arbitration of The Hague tribunal.
The president has reached no de-
olson in regard to the invitation OF
the powers that he arbtirate the
Venezuelan matter. 1t is possible
that his decision will not be forth.
coming for several days. Cores
pondence is being exchanged daily
between the state department and the
foreign officers with reference to the
invitation Secretary Hay early to-
day held a brief conference with the
president of Venezuelan situation.
President Castro says Caracas
dispatch, has telegraphed from La
Victoria his acceptance of the pro-
posal to submit all pending diff
ferences to the arbitration of The
Hague tribunal, subject to certain
conditions which include cessation
of the blockade and the return to
Venezuela of the fleet seized by the
allied powers. President Castro's ac-
ceptance has been transmitted to ,Ae
Washington government, from which
the proposal animated.
