PARKER WEARS HIS
WORKING CLOTHES
Democratic Candidate Gets
Buster Than Ever in New
York City

NEW YORK, Oct IA glance into
Judge Parkers private reception room
at his apartments at the Hotel Seville
reveals political workshop equipped
almost as completely as his library at
Rosemount 1t needs only view of
the stacks of correspondence and inn
posing looking documents to corrob-
crate the report that the Democr: ic
presidential candidate intends spending
a great deal of his time between now
and election day in New York, where
he can keep in close. touch with the
campaign.
That Judge Parker is acquainting
himself with the minutest details of
the canvass in every one of the states
placed by either party in the doubtful
column is evident from his discussions
with campaign managers. Many re-
ports are being made to Judge Parker
by individual workers which do not
pass through the hands of the national
committee and which are given his
personal attention. This work takes
so much of his time that scores of call
ers who have no particular business
with the candidate are unable to find
lllIl uiSCHSdSSu- Little OIL JuQS0 EcT-
ker's correspondence is attended to by
clerks. Every letter that goes out, un-
less it be some formal acknowledgment
of service, is read and signed by the
judge
In this political workshop the candi-
date little resembles the dignified gem
tleman so much photographed. Ere
euently he wears a bobbed off sack
coat, with elbows shiny and thin and
he does not always change to his frock
when visitors are announced. In this
apparel he usually toys nervously with
a pen or pencil while talking to visit
ors, as if anxious to get back to his
work.
This is as the newspaper men found
him today when they were admitted
for daily talk. The candidate will
discuss his personal plans, but not
questions of a political character. He
has made it plain that matters which
might influence the destiny of the CAM
paign should not be answered in an Off
hand manner, as might be the case
where replies are made to question
careleSsly propounded or capable of
more than one interpretation He has
adhered to policy established soon
after his nomination-that of answer
ing formally any questions vitality af-
fecting party interests. Judge Parker
found time today to answer much cor
respondence. His callers were fewer
than on any previous occasion when he
has visited New York.

CITY Rail WAY ATTORNEYS
FILE ANSWER
Hold That the Company Posses
ses the Privilege of Using d Major
ity of the Streets of St. Paul With
out Any Permission From the City
Council

Answering the charge Of the city that
it has no authority to occupy the
streets with its tracks, the street rail-
way company takes the ground that it's
rights really depend upon the special
legislative act Of 1853, in which fran
chise was granted the st. Anthony
Railroad company, and the renewal and
extension of the heretofore unusued
franchise to st. Paul Street Railway
company After the grant this COM
pany became insolvent, and at a pub
lie sale, it is alleged, the st. Paul city
Railway company legally and rightfully
came into possession of all the bust
ness rights of the company that failed.
Claims Old Rights
Included in this was the various acts
of the legislature giving the company
the right to use the streets and the
concurrence therein by city council of
st. Paul. This includes what is known
as ordinance 81, which gave the COM
pany the right to use great majority
of the streets of the city for street rail-
way purposes, known generally as the
omnibus horse car ordinance. 1t is set
out at great length that in 1886 and
1887, while the horse cars were still in
use, the company sought to test the
validity of its rights and proceeded to
construct a line on Pleasant avenue.
This course was resisted by George
A. Nash and others in court. The de-
cision of the district court was against
the company, but when it was taken
to the supreme court this finding was
reversed and the company. adjudged to,
have the right to place tracks on such
streets as it saw fit, excepting only
those mentioned in the acts and ordi-
nances that had been accepted by the
company. By this decision the COM
pany claims that ordinances 81 and 26S,
the latter being amendatory, were up
held in detail and that as the company
has at no time since consented to or
accepted a modification of the fran
chise then held.

The ST Paul City Railway COM
panys answer to the city's case, in
which it is contended that the COM
pany has no right to use the streets,
has been filed in the district court and
holds that the company possesses the
privilege of using a majority Of the
streets in the city without any per-
mission from the city council, and as
serts that the company has in the past
secured decisions from the courts up
holding this position.
A bold stand was taken by Corpora
ton Attorney Michael in his amended
petition asking that the company be
restrained from constructing certain
lines without permission, and the
answer to this takes the very opposite
view, holding that ia reality the city
council and city government has but
little control over the affairs of the
company, and that it is willing to have
the highest courts pass. upon the con-
tentions. The city's position is that
the company has assumed to take pos
session of a large number of streets
without legal authority, and asks that
it be restrained from acting in a like
manner as to certain other thorough
fares that it apparently proposes to oc-
cupy with tracks.
important Points Involved
Involved in this case are two points
of the utmost Importance to the city
and the company. Concededly the most
important is the right granted by the
charter to regulate the fare to be
charged by the company. and, sec
ondly, the right of the city TO impose a
3 per cent tax on the gross earnings of
the company. The latter tax would
amount to from 100000 to $4,000
year, and if the city council should be
adjudged to have the power the regu-
late the fares and should make the
price of a ride cents the income of
the company would be reduced some
100000 a year This is considered
conservative estimate.
The contest in the courts will there
fore be bitter and of long duration.

GRANTS HIM A COIN
Burglar Kindly Allows Aged
Victim Tea Money
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. s.
Grandpa" DeBoer, an aged resident
of the little town of Davis, had call
from a gentlemanly burglar. The old
man was aroused by hearing someone
in his dwelling. A moment later a
stranger appeared before him and in
a gruff and threatening tone of voice
ordered him to instantly hand over his
money. The old man lost no time in
handing over to the robber the sum
of eight dollars, all the money he had
on hand at the time.
While transferring the cash to the
burglar the old man remarked that he
would not have enough money to pur-
chase a supply of tea the next day.
The gentlemanly burglar promptly
handed his victim fifty cents and dis
appeared. The authorities have been
unable to discover any trace of him.

could not live more than few hours

shortly after o'clock this afternoon

succeeding hours the sick man gained
a little rest, though he could not sleep
long at a time.
At 9: 80 o'clock tonight DIR. Magruder
issued a bulletin saying that Mr.. Payne
continued to respond well to the rem
edies administered and there was

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says
Moderate improvement in Midsum-
mer means more than an equivalent
increase at any other season, and the
better trade reported during the past
week is consequently most enc;ur-
aging. Dispatches from all parts OF
the country are by no means uniform,
in some cases the outlook showing no
change, while at few points there
have been setbacks; but on the whole
the progress is unmistakable Two
labor controversies are particularly
harmful, but others have been settled;
the Fall River strike is partially bro
ken and several threatened difficulties
have been averted.
Despite some injury to Spring wheat
the agricultural prospect is very bright
while higher prices promise to nett
tralize the effect of such loss in guam
tity as occurred. Interior buyers have
placed liberal Fall orders in the lead
ing dry goods markets, and confidence
in large Spring trade is becoming
