land was president the last time and

largely through that Infamous deal It
is not stretching the Imagination to say
that IN Mr.. Parker Mr.. Belmont. who
is good business man above every.

Belmont is to be treasurer of the dem.
ocratic national committee and as
treasurer, of course, is expected to pull
large and juicy contributions for the
democratic committee out of the Wall
street sharks and corporations.
Belmont Race Track Owner.
Mr.. Belmont is as great a figure in
the gambling business of racing as in
the gambling business of stocks. He
is president of the Jockey club and an
owner of several race tracks. He is
the head of an organization which
takes a hundred dollars a day from the
bookmakers, giving in return permis.

and any other trust wanting advice and

the problem with which they are con.
fronted has been brought forcibly home
to the Jews throughout the entire
country, and the action which is about
to be taken seems to be the only way
in which the condition can he met.
Russian prosecutions have caused a
great influx of Jews to this country
during the last fifteen years, because
the political and economic conditions
OF that country have made life almost
unbearable for them, and the United
States is the only place where they
can find a refuge.
Nine-tenths of these people are pau
pers who expect to grow rich in this
country, for the reason that they have
been given to understand that many Of
the largest industries of the country
are controlled by Jews. They do not
come as pioneers, expecting to make
homes in new land, but as fugitives
from oppression, looking for anything
that may assist them in bettering their
condition. Ninety per cent of these
people usually remain in Ne York
city, going at once to the already over
crowded Jewish tenement district.
Conditions In New York.
In one square mile of the Ghetto
district in New York City there are
now 100000 Jews representing in that
small space population of over four
times as many people as there are in
the city of Des Moines Should the
thousands who are expected this year
be adde's to the numbers already there
the result would be fearful in its con-
sequences and it is to remedy this that
the project now on hand was start
ed
The total immigration of Russian
Jews this year is expected to reach
from $4,000 to 10000 and it is thought
that at least $4,000 of these will
reach the shores of this country with
in the next three months.
The expenses of distributing these
people about the country will be TAX
en- from the Baron Hirsch fund, left by
him to assist in charitable work
among the Jews in the United States
and controlled by the l. O.. B. b.
through it's national organization. This
will be used in covering the expenses
of the immigrants from New York
City to the cities where they are as
signed after which the responsibility
for their welfare will be solely in the
hands of the local societies.

ters. The latest acquisition, Tom Tag
CERT, of Indiana, who is to be chairman
OF the national committee, is the fin
ishing touch. Here they are:
The Line-Up.
Tom Taggert, proprietor of a gamb.
ling resort.
August Belmont, autocrat, trust mag.
nate, cold blooded Wall street financier
race track and race horse owner.
David B. Hill, peanut politician and
spokesman.
Patrick McCarren, ward leader and
legal representative of large gam bling
interests.
Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany,
the most notoriously corrupt political
organization in the world
Bourke Cochran, political turn coat.
This is probably only partial list
but 1t is enough to finish Judge Parker.
The democrats now say that they are
united and nobody denies it. This unit
ed feeling comes from the visit made to
Judge Parker last week by Charles
Murphy who has been the last one to
hold off. Naturally the republicans
welcome that evidence of unity on the
part of the democrats which brings
such man as Mr.. Murphy into the
fold. Mr.. Murphy was finally lured in
by deal suggested by Mr.. Hill where
by Mayor Mcclellan, of New York, a
Tammany man, is to be the democratic
candidate for governor of New York
this fall.

Fairfield, and the family is held in high

Cochran a Turncoat.
W. Bourke Cochran, another oi
Judge Parker's hackers, is probably
the most notorious turncoat in Ameri
can politics. Charges that he accept
ed money from the republicans to
campaign for Mckinley have been pub
lished in number of magazines and
and newspapers and Mr.. Cochran
while Indignantly denying the story
has never taken any legal action. The
point of these charges was that Mr.
Cochran was offered $1,000 night to
talk against the democratic party and
that he took it, Of course on this ac.
count there are many loyal democrats
who do not hesitate to use the term
traitor" when speaking of Mr. Coch
ran and who are much disturbed to
see him occupy a leading position at
Esopus.
Dave Hills Reputation.
David B. Hills position in American
politics is as well known as his name
Few men are his equals as political
tricksters and spoilsmen. His career
while senator from New York was SC
bold that the people finally rose and
overthrew him. For many years he
has been considered politically dead
but with his usual cunning he has only
been lying low. His selection of col
orless man like Judge Parker as a
presidential candidate and his shrewd
manipulation of the Parker boom
which resulted in his nomination is
considered one of the smoothest po
litical tricks in the history of this
country. Of course should Parker be
elected Hill would be the man behind
the throne. That he might be given
some high cabinet Office is more than
likely.
To this clique of men is of course
due the absolute grinding in the dust
of the old Bryan guard. Loyal demo.
Gratis are hoping for the best but have
grave fears that Parker will have to
go down with his friends.

NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Aug. Having been
told that he would die within a very
short time, Samuel L. Dana, the young
bank clerk, found in Central park Fri
day with a bullet wound close to his
heart, admitted yesterday that the
wound was self inflicted.
Yes, fired the shot," said Dana
But no matter why. What's the use
Of making all this thing public any.

would induce him to state why he at.
tempted to take his life
He refused any further information
except to give the name of his parents
and brother who live at Fairfield
la. The young mans father is expect.
ed TO arrive today. His fathers name
is D. G. Dana, of Fairfield, la.
"My opinion is now that he was in
love with a woman who refused to re.
spond to his advances said Coroner
Jackson.
The Shooting.
Shortly after o'clock in the morn.
ing Policeman Andrea of the Central
park squad heard shot from the d.
rection OF the bridge that spans the
lake IN the park. He ran to the spot
ana found there young man who had
passed MIN on the walk only few
minutes before. Andrea saw that the
mans coat was stained with blood.
Have you been shot?" asked the
policeman
Yes" said the man; some one shot
me doWn mere Ways-a man."
The policeman sent for a park am.
bulance in which the young man was
taken to the Presbyterian hospital
There he again said he had been shot
but refused to give any more informa.
ton The wound did not appear To he
serious at first, and while he was still
conscious the man sent the letter to
Mrs. Degnon. A detective learned
that the contents of the note were az
follows: e''

shot this morning and am now in cus.

you make an excuse to my employer9
Call him up and say was called away
Don't give your name. They don't
know me here and never will"
The Mrs. Degnon, to whom the DYING
man sent the note, is believed to have
been connected with his suicide IN
some way, possibly as Coroner Jackson
thinks. She is now under the care Of
a physician, having become hysterfcal
on learning of Dana's death. Mrs
Degnon is said to be member of a
prominent family in Philadelphia. With
her in New York was Mrs. Grace Nos.
ser, an actress.
