the opening OF the Tramp's Lodge a
valuable and efficient form OF municipal
charity, this evening.
This institution maintained by the city
authorities is usually placed In operation

time.
The institution as conducted here in
Providence is a model one and is excelled

country.

MORGAN
SENDS OPEN
letter

Washington. Oct. Ex-senator Morgan Of
Alabama in an open letter TO Secretary
Hay, made public Saturday night, accuses
that official OF drawing an imperfect
treaty with Panama and OF having
'sneaked out" OF negotiations for the
Nicaraguan route. The letter is intended
as reply to the secretary's recent speech
in New York.
After stating that no apology is due
from any senator who voted against the
ratification OF the Hay-Bunau-Varilla
treaty for addressing the secretary
through the press because OF the fact
that the secretary in his speech had
assailed such senators, Senator Morgan
says:
"It is not the sneaking out from
Nicaragua that disturbs the country: ii
is sneaking into Panama, after having
first sneaked un~er the wing Of the
Panama Canal company. TO find an excuse
for an act that the country deplores."
He charges that Minister Silvia Of CO.
lombia refused 10 sign the Hay-Herran
treaty because IL was in violation OF the
laws and constitution of Colombia, and
that DR. Herran was designated as charge
d'affaires TO conclude 1t. Then" the
senator adds. the soft stop and big stick
OF the president were resorted TO. and Dr.
Herran was threatened into compliance"
The letter of Secretary Hay 10 DR.. Her
ran referred 10 in the speech OF Senator
Culberson, Senator Morgan declares, was
"the feather and broke the camers back"
The letter concludes as follows:
Before you .arged the Democratic
senator's with the crime OF not believing
a word they say in their criticism Of
your conduct and that OF the president.
and with the meanness OF being willing
TO partake OF the feast while denouncing
the alleged robbers who prepared 1t.
would 1t not have been more in keeping
with your exalted attitude toward them
that you should have explained your
hasty dealings with Bunau-Varilla, that
you should have cleansed your robes from
the contact with the culprits OF the
Panama Canal company, and should have
delivered the country from the body OF
death that France has so long struggled
TO unload upon the United States?"

II was testified TO by l6 witnesses that
they never authorized anyone 70 sign
nomination papers for the Independent
nominees in ward s.
After number OF witnesses had tesu-
fled TO their names being signed without
authority Judge Tillinghast remarked
This Is pretty high handed work on
some ones part"
Mr.. Devlin in his opening statement OF
the case said he claimed that the city
clerk having certified that 81 names on
the nomination papers were those OF
qualified electors in ward there could
be no going back OF that certification.
Mr.. Devlin called attention OF the court
TO the fact that two names on the papers
We're rejected because the signers. II was
claimed. had affixed their signatures to
the nomination papers OF the socialistic
Labor party's candidate for governor
and also that one name was improperly
rejected because simply the initials were
used.
Justice Tillinghast. Douglas and Blod-
gett asked a number OF questions con-
corning the contention OF Mr.. Devlin as
TO the board OF canvassers and regis
tration being the only body that could
pass upon the qualification of voters.
During the hearing Judge Tillinghast
took occasion TO say that II was we'll un-
derstood that fraud would vitiate any
certifcaton.
This statement was In confirmation OF
City Clerk Clarke's holding that he could
go back OF his certification because OF
fraud charges.
One witness called by Mr.. Baker ad-
mitted that he signed the Devlin pap RS

ed because they had signed nomination

most OF the courts time today Early this
afternoon II was intimated that the Dew
I'm petition would be withdrawn

CLAIMS
225 SEATS

Washington, Oct. 3l.-Chairnan Cow
herd, of the Democratic congressional
committee, yesterday issued a statement
claiming 225 seats in the 59th congress
for the Democratic party. He bases this
prediction on the claimed strength OF the
national ticket in the east and TO local
dissensiops in the Republican ranks In
the middle west.
MI. Cowherd says: "As the situation
stands at present the prospects are that
the Democrats will carry 225 out OF the
$50 districts in the United States. In the
estimates. have included the states OF
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. These are all
doubtful. as matters now stand The
Democratic chances are excellent in two
or three
"Our gains in the east will be due
largely 10 the strength OF the national
ticket. In the middle west they VIII be
due more particularly 10 local dissensions
In the Republican ranks. The hold or.
patronage has bred much trouble IN the
Republican districts and the Democrat.
VIII profit eorrespondingly by reason of
it," "
