PUT Up JOB"
FRIENDS CLAIM
Failure of San Franciscan
to Obtain Civil Service
Place Causes Sensation
HIS PERCENTAGE is LOW
Supporters of Expert Ma
chinist Aver He Was Not
Given a Fair Examination
Special Dispatch to IN. Call

BOSTON. July 1O.-A sensation has
been created in customs import cir
cles here by the announcement that
Acting Examiner Of Machinery George
Chatterly of San Francisco had failed
to pass the civil service examination
here for the position of permanent in
spector of imported machinery. His
marks totaled only 27.50 per cent
against u per cent obtained by William
l. Hodges, his chief competitor.
Chatterly was appointed acting ex-
aminer in place of Colonel William W.
Castle, dismissed, having been brought
on from San Francisco for that pur-
pose. He is an expert on cotton ma
chinery, and Appraiser Smelling of
Boston has gone on record as saying
that his services here were invaluable,
But his experience has been mainly
with cotton machinery, while the ex-
animation was conducted principally
on wooden and silk machinery, with
which he is unfamiliar.
Chatterly's friends declare that the
examination was a put UP Job" and
that he should have been examined
on cotton machinery, which comprise
the principal imports here.

ment to-day:
The convention has done its work and done
il we'll There was an utter absence of dicta-
tion. The delegates came here to deliberate
and decide for themselves and they did so.
They were deeply conscious of the seriousness
and the fear which to-day fills the minds OF
the people They desired to present the real
issues which will be decided by the campaign
in such shape as to bring them directly before
the voters. not complicated by dead and set
tied issues The candidates selected and the
platform upon Whlch they stand do this and
ought to meet the approval OF all Democrats
and OF all thoughtful citizens who place the
public good first.
and the incident OF last night will appeal

and manly and at the same time courteous
and respectful stand taken by Judge Parker
on the monetary question and the approval
OF his position the floor of the convention
after full discussion and explanation, should

ministration and prevent any possibility of
question because no reference was made to il
in the platform
The position OF the candidate and the party
IS stronger than If the gold Flank had been
reported by the committee on resolutions and
adopted without discussion. All question as to
the permanency OF the gold standard has been
eliminated in Democratic pol'-ics.
Judge Parker and Senator Davis are well
known to the people. Their lives have been
spent in full view and their character and
conduct have been above reproach. They are
tried men, and their lives show that they can
be trusted in any emergency. Wherever the
highest integrity, best judgment and truesi

ployed by a Chicago agency, has re-
turned to that city after obtaining iden-
tifications of two photographs which
he had in his possession, supposed to be
portraits Of the notorious Montana
bandit and train robber. Harvey Lo-
gan.
Early on the morning OF June
gang held up a Denver and Rio Grands
train near Parachute. Colo. but. after
blowing open two safes and shooting
one railroad employee, they obtained
only $40. A posse Of cowboys was at
once organized and chase was given.
In the chase one of the bandits was
shot from his horse by a cowboy and.
as soon as he fell. was seen to shoot
himself through the head. Pictures
were taken Of the dead man. Believing
the photographs to be those OF Logan.
Spence came here to identity the bandit
through jail officials, where Logan had
been confined more than a year.
Sheriff Fox, from whom Logan es-
capped, positively identified the photo
graphs as those Of Logan. So did Jailer
Thomas Bell. whom Logan held up at
the point Of a pistol while escaping
from Jail.
The outstanding reward for the
bandit is variously estimated at be-
tween s1s,0 900 and $50. 900. 1t Is probable
that the body VIII be exhumed and fur
ther Identification established, as Logan
carried many bullet marks. When he
escaped from the Knoxville Jail he was
under sentence Of twenty years for
having brought into the State and
passed unsigned notes OF the Bank OF
Montana, $4,000 worth Of which he and
his gang obtained in a Great Northern
Express hold-up near Wagner. Mont.

by the Jurist IS

Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.


CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Going the
round in Washington to-day was a
story alleged to reveal the inside facts
about the telegram with which Judge
Parker threw the Democratic conven-
ton into turmoil.
According TO this story August Bel
mont and William F. Sheehan, realiz-
ing that a fatal mistake had been made
in allowing the omission of a gold
plank from the party platform, agreed
that Judge Parker should -counteract
the baneful effect upon business inter-
eSts. This resulted in the drafting OF
a telegram which it is said, was sent
TO Esopus and elected the telegram re-
ported TO have been sent by Judge
Parker to Senator Carmack, fatty de-
clining TO run upon the platform with
out a sound money plank.
Senator Carmack denied having re-
ceived such a telegram, but the Wash
ington version is that he did be-
cause Belmont and Sheehan at once
declared that Judge Parker had over
done the thing and Immediately sent
him another message outlining the
message from Judge Parker which
merely announced his gold standard
views and his willingness to decline
the nomination If these views were
unacceptable to the majority.
The first telegram, it is said was
sent TO Carmack to prevent the sus-
picion that it was a part of a scheme
on the part of the New York dele
gates. Senator Carmack, taken entire
ly by surprise. it is supposed dis
closed its contents to some one before
Belmont and Sheehan, learning how
dangerous their work really was,
fastened to suppress it and arranged
the second message.

of New York was called into the room
and asked to give Judge Parker S
views. He said he could not do so.
TAGGART Is INDORSED.
Colonel Guffey insisted that precedent
demanded that the committee cour-
teously await Judge Parker's opinion
In fact" he said, the resolution
of last night precluded any action until
Chairman Jones issued call for New
York
Senator Bailey of Texas said that the
question should be settled at once 1t
was customary for the committee to
meet Immediately after the adjourn
Pment and elect, and a resolution was
passed last Tuesday to that effect by
the convention.
II guess" he said, that we can have
Judge Parker's views in a few mo-
ments from his friends here if they
care to. give them"
After nearly two hours of debate
Senator Bailey offered as a compromise
that the committee adopt a resolution
indorsing the candidacy of Thomas
Taggart for chairman of the commit
tee. Mack agreed to this and the reso-
luton was adopted.
The committee, therefore, will meet

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-The Democratic
National Committee, new in its make
up, met at $50 o'clock this morning
and again at O'Clock this afternoon,
with the avowed intention, on behalf
of the supporters of Taggart Of Indi-
ana, of organizing by electing him
chairman.
The early morning meeting was not
fully attended and the object aimed at
was not accomplished. 1t was pointed
out by Mack of New York that it
would be discourteous to take any ac-
tion until Parker were consulted. The
Taggart men. while not enough to
elect, suggested that Hill, Sheehan and.
Belmont, the nominees friends, were
still here and adopted a resolution that
they be invited to meet the committee
this afternoon.
When afternoon came there were
three new complications in the way of
electing. Chairman Jones of the old
committee boldly asserted that such
action as contemplated would be un
precedented and, in fact, illegal. 1t
also turned out that at late hour the
convention adopted resolution
authorizing Chairman Jones of the old
committee to call the new committee
together in New York City at such time
as he might suggest.
AlOllSI ODSldCle was lIdI I'LL anu
Sheehan left for New York at noon
and therefore could not attend the
meeting.
JONES BLOCKS PROGRAMME.
Senator James K. Jones, the retiring
chairman of the National Committee,
made this statement:
THE National Convention, by spe-
cific resolution adopted last night,
authorized me, in fact, instructed me,
/ to call the first meeting of the new
committee in New York City. Until
! call it the new committee cannot or
/ ganize and the meetings it has held are
/ unauthorized. Now let me say, forci-
| bly, if need be. that, acting under the
! convention authority, l shall call the
| National Committee to meet in New
York City at such time as Judge Par
! ker shall designate. Before 1 call it
shall consult him. 1t would be an un-
precedented thing for the new COM
mittee to organize without consulta-
! tion with the candidate"
Just after the afternoon session
began, Taggart, who was presiding.
was asked to retire so that he need
not be embarrassed. August Belmont

suit Of political wisdom Parker has
placed himself among the many strik
ing individualities in the public life OF
the United States. From this side Of
the Atlantic we can view the great pO-
litical contest of our kinsmen without
partisanship. 1t is impossible, of course,
that Englishmen should not feel ad
miratiOn for the genius and energy OF
President Roosevelt and respect for the
ascendency of the Republican party,
whose BRILLIANT record in external poll
icy has been set forth by Secretary
Hay at Washington. For the rest, we
are conscious of nothing but a feeling
of satisfaction that the Democratic par
ty has put itself right with it's coun-
trymen and with the world. We are
now assured that. no matter which side
shall be victorious, the Presidency Will
be filled by a statesman Of courage,
candor and high principles.

Message to the Democrats.

Message TO the Democrats.
BUZZARDS BAY, July 10.-Grover
Cleveland is to issue a message to DEM
ocrats. After he has carefully read the
platform and the various speeches
made in the convention and given the
subject due consideration he will give
the country his views on the Demo-
cratic chances for success 1t will be
in the nature of a pronouncement and
it may sound the first rallying call Of
the campaign. He has promised that
the statement will be given out as soon
as he has prepared it, but he will give
no hint Of it's contents.
Whether he will deal with the fact
that the money plank was suppressed
from the platform is not known, but as
he was more interested in this question
than any other feature Of the conven-
tion something bearing directly upon
the money question may therefore be
expected. He expects to leave for
Sandwich, N. H, Tuesday and his
promished statement will probably be
given out before then. pr. Bryant

COMMENT OF LONDON EDITORS.
Congratulate the Democracy on Its Re-
lease From Silver's Shackles.

LONDON, July 11.-Several news
papers this morning print editorials re-
ferring TO the National Democratic
Convention in st. Louis. but most of
them merely recapitulate the events of
the convention. All of them agree
that Judge Parker's personality is in
accordance with the traditions as to
candidates for the Presidency; but. ex-
cept for the expression of general sat
isfaction that silver will not be the
issue of the campaign, there are few
comments showing any particular Brit
ish opinion on the judgment of the dele
gates.
The Standard, however. declares that
Judge Parker's message to Sheehan is
a deed which will give Parker a place
in history. Conceivably it may send
him to the White House. but it will
certainly make him a force to be reclk-
oned on in American politics for some
time to come.
The Standard maintains that there is
not much to choose between the ST.
Louis and Chicago platforms.

His appearance at the convention

absent from the room and in doing so
created no little alarm for his safety.
