Now York Sun Special Service
New York, Sept. 29.-Judge Parker
has emphasized his intention Of taking
active personal charge Of his own cam.
palgn by engaging until after election
day the rooms he is now occupying at
the Hotel Seville. He will come to New
York frequently and if he considers it
last two or three weeks of October and
the first week Of November.
lie is determined that the r4valries
dlssensions, jealousies and chickering's
that have ensued at national headquar-
ters shall cease, and he is determined
that advantages shall not be, lost thru
unproductive points.
The candidate took up again the
question Of western headquarters.
There have been many requests from
the west for the establishmentSof a
place in Indiana or Illinois where they
can 20 for advice and help. Chairman
Iaggart announced day Of two ago
that tina he intended to go west and open
in Indianapolis. Today there was some
doubt about this, altho there is no doubt
that both Taggart and Joseph flaming.
his chief lieutenant, will spend a good
deal Of time in the west between now
and election day.
Taggsart. Taggart hesitates about 90
ing for fear the impression will get
abroad that he has been superseded
here as national chairman. Leaders say
that is farthest from Judge Parker S
mind. He has great regard for Tag
but he Intends to get Indiana If he can,
and he intends that Taggart shall
help--on the ground, and not at long
range.

AUTO RIDE ENDS
ATTACHES CAREER
Briton Who Stirred Up Justice
go, Court Row Will Lose His "
a.. ,,s' Place. .s.s :

Washington, Sept. 2e:-Hugh Quincy,
third secretary Of the British embassy,
probably ended his diplomatic career
when he stirred up a fuss over his ar
rest at Lee, Mass, for violating the
automobile speed law, and claimed the
titled under the law.
The British foreign office never for
gives a blunder, and it is considered
that Mr.. Quincy Numbered badly when
he failed to pay the fine imposed by
Justice Phelps and say nothing.
!, Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the Brit
ish ambassador, and the state depart
ment officials show increasing annoy
ance over the incident and the public
ity that has been given it, and it is
certain that with a suggestion from
the state department, or without it. Mr..
Quincy soon will be sent home: There
setts &c Officials iaof for the recall s FOR the
good reason that none is needed.
Governor Bates telegraphed today
that all Of the papers in the case have
been mailed. They include the auto
mobile, speed law and the. evidence
against Mr.. Quincy. After the papers
have, been gone over they will be for
a statement Of the views Of the state
department.
IF it appears from. the record that
Mr.. Quincy violated the law knowingly
and with the idea, presumably, Of hid
ing behind the exemption to which he
IS entitled, It will be delicately sug-
gested that. he is no longer a welcome
guest. IF it is shown that the young
diplomat merely acted iniudiciously the
papers vii be forwarded without any
comment.
The result in either case will be the
same, and Mr.. Quincy soon will be Civ
en- vacation that will be permanent
so far as Washington is concerned.

cred that former Senator Schaumann,

Helsingfors, Sept. 29.-Former Sena-

2 on suspicion Of having had knowledge
of his sons crime, has been taken to

charge Of treason against him. The
public expects that Schaumann will
make a satisfactory defense.
Eugene Waldemar Schaumann shot M.

fallen. He tried to move, but the at
tempt brought excruciating pain and
he swooned again.
It was not until broad daylight that
a passerby saw Du Four's plight and
summoned help. Two policemen called
q conveyance and took him home, where
Dr.. J. p: .Dewar did everything posi-.
bic for him. AS the direct result Of
the smuggling he had terrible bruises
upon the left side of his head. From
the fall of some forty feet he had suf-
fered dislocated shoulder, two broken
ribs, many. severe cuts and internal in
jurles, which finally caused death.
The place chosen by the highwaymen
for their desperate work is well suited
for the purpose. It is almost utterly
deserted after nightfall and the near
est houses are down at the bottom of
the Lodges, on the flats. The thugs
must have followed Du Four and lain
in wait for him as he returned. It
seems that they threw him over the
ledge with the deliberate intention of
killing him, thus creating the impress
sion that death was accidental.
Joseph Du Four was At years Of age,
and popular among his fellow crafts
men and employers. He was man Of
steady habits and was the mainstay Of
a coy and happy home. A widow, one
daughter and four sons-the oldest son
being 81 years old-survive him. The
funeral will be held Saturday at $3.50
am. from the residence, the interment
being at st. Mary's cemetery.
Reports from the police have made
no note Of the affair in any way.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Sept. 29.-Promises
are held out today that the 1upreme
court will make an order in the election
case tonight or tomorrow. A final de-
understanding is the order will be for
master in chancery to report on the
facts in the case, and when his report
has been made then the court will de-
eide formally whether Robert M. La
Toilette or Samuel Cook can call himself
the "regular''. republican nominee for
the governorship.
This final decision is not likely to
come until some time next week, but
it may be sooner. The supreme court
is expected to hasten the matter as
much as possible.
La Toilette men announce again to-
day that their candidate for governor
will run as an independent if the de-
cision is against him. Some of the
stalwarts" have replied that Cook
Whether this will help or hurt La
Toilette at the polls is a question.

The best information that can be
obtained is that the supreme court
stands two and two on the case as it
is now. Justice Siebecker, the fl IL
member Of the court, withdrew because
he is. brother-inIaspzo Of Governor. La
Follette. How each one of the f1N
stands cannot be stated absolutely.
That two take one view and two an
other is practically certain. =

SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Japanese have again re-

dispatches indicate that sharp

southeast of Mukden. st. Peters
burg hears that the Japanese have
taken Da pass, a strategic position
in the mountain range about forty
five miles southeast of Mukden.
Several other passes are now in
their hands.
Tt is believed in st. Petersburg
that Kuropatkin is withdrawing
his force to the less rugged coun-
try to the northwest of Mukden,
where he may decide to give bat
tie. Japan has amended her con-
scr1ptton regulations in manner
which will increase her available
fighting force by about 100000
men. A new scheme of divisional
organization is also contemplated.

The republican state organization,

Knutep Nelson. The new deal involves
the retirement of Joel p. Heatwole and

of the responsibility, and assumed
charge of the committee rooms.
The great coup, which the friends of
Dunn hail as a master stroke, was ac-
complished yesterday afternoon at a
stormy meeting of the executive com
mittee. Senator Nelson sat in this
meeting and dominated it,. The accu-
sation was plainly made that Heatwole
was "kniing Dunn, and Verify, who
personal representative, was asked to
resign. He refused at first, and not
until after an hours argument did he
yield. He then wrote and signed the

States to answer, charges preferred

Assistant Secretary of State Peirce
today denied emphatically that he had
made any recommendation generating
Goodnow of charges of wrongdoing in
MS official capacity as consul general
at Shanghai. No recommendation will
be made for some time, because Mr..
| Goodnow will come to Washington to
answer new charges made by George
Curtis, who is at the head Of the move
ment to get Goodnow out Of the SER
vice. Peirce said further that Curtis
had not finished the presentation of his
case, but would file more charges later.
In view Of this fact, it was thought
best to have Goodnow here to answer
all accusations in person.
Rushed Into Print.
1t is regretted at the state depart
ment that Curtis has seen fit to rush
into print with his charges, it having
been the understanding between hin,
and Assistant Secretary Peirce that
nothing should be said until the depart
ment should see fit to make them pub
tic, together with it's decision. Curtis
IS to have an interview with Peirce late
this afternoon, when he will be given
an opportunity to tell how it happened
that the story got into print this morn
ing. Meanwhile, he has telephoned tho
department expressing regret. -,
Curtis has come to Washington for
the express purpose of pushing these
charges. It is well understood at the
state department shat he has personal
grievance against Goodnow, who has
dlsbarred him from practice before the
consular court at Shanghai, and for that
reason the department is proceeding
with unusual care. The situation has
been laid before the president and at
his suggestion Goodnow has been
cabled to come to Washington.
1t is the intention Of the govern
mient to close up the matter at the COM
ing investigation and finally dispose Of
all these charges, which have s been
