HOT FIGHT BETWEEN
 ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS
HOPKINS FOLLOWERS IN
 CENSED AT HEARST MEN.
Latter's Attempt to Get Control of State Central Committee to be Met With Strong Effort to Force an Instructed Delegation on Hearst-Carter Harri- son's Candidate for President.

I
 Springfield, H., June 15-Followers of John P. Hopkins of Chicago, chairman of the Illinois Democratic committee, provoked at an attempt by adherents of Wm. R. Hearst, to secure control of the central committee when the Illinois democratic convention convenes tomor- TOW. may make an attempt to force Mir. Hearst to forego an instructed delega- tion to the national convention.
 The fight for control of the state democratic machinery has placed the complexion of the state ticket in the background for the moment.
 Hearst's adherents purpose. it is said, Ito depose Mr. Hopkins and to place Willard Dunlap, Hearsts Illinois cam paign manager. at the head of the Illi- nois democratic machine At every recent state convention an attempt has been made to depose Chairman Hopkins. but each attempt has failed signally.
 1 At present friends of Hopkins think that Hearst in view of his ennity to Hopkins should be content with an en- Idorsement by the convention, Adher- ents of Hearst. however, believe that they will be able to control the conven- ton at all stages.
 The fight in the open will begin to- morrow, when a temporary chairman is a the party constitution gives the state central committee the right to select a temporary chairman. This constitu- ton and the particular plank in which the Hopkins people take such pride, were written by the men who are now managing the Hearst campaign, when they were in control of the party ma chinery.
 l The writers of the constitution now say that the convention is sovereign in itself and that the plank was not in tended for any such use as that to which the Hopkins adherents now de- sire to put it.
 1 Frank J. Quinn of Peoria is Hopkins choice for temporary chairman.
 Adherents of Mayor Carter H. Har- rison os Chicago are for Congressman Williams of Illinois for president This makes the fight three cornered. Hop kins and Hearst followers now admit that they are not sure how many dele- gates each secured at the primaries on May 6.
 It is not known whom Hopkins wants for president, except that he has oppos- ! ed Hearst.
 The state central committees tonight selected Frank r. Quinn of Peoria as temporary chairman of the convention. If Hopkins' adherents control the con- vention tomorrow Quinn's appoint ment will be made permanent.

CLARKSON IS BARRED

CAN TAKE NO FURTHER PART IN
 COLLEGE GAMES.
Action Taken by the Athletic Commit tee of the University at Meeting Last Night-Clarkson Admits That He signed With the New York Amer ican League Nine on May and Re- ceived Substantial Bonus.

ceived Substantial Bonus.
 Cambridge. Mass, June 13.-Walter Clarkson, captain and pitcher of the Harvard varsity nine, was tonight barred from further participation in college games by vote of the Harvard athletic committee.
 A report was sent out from New York a week ago that Clarkson had signed contract to play with the New York American baseball team for an annual salary of $S,OOO. This report Clarkson denied, but continued state ments from Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and Captain Grifiths, of the New York team, caused the Harvard athletic committee to make an investigation. A meeting of the athletic committee was held at the Harvard Union tonight, continuing from o'clock until 11:S0.
 At this meeting Clarkson denied that he had signed a contract for an annual y in which he said that on May 6 he signed a contract to play ball with the New York American team during the coming season, and that on that day he was paid a considerable sum of money, outside the amount stipulated in his .contract, as an inducement for him to sign the contract at once. By a verbal agreement with Captain Griffiths the Harvard man was not to begin work with the New York team until after the close of the college season.
 Clarkson said 1t was his intention to keep the matter secret until the college season had closed. His last game with Harvard was played against Amherst last Wednesday. He has played con- tinuously with the team this season, and in six games since signing with New York.
 Although the college season is nearly closed, there still remain the two games with Yale or the 23d and 18th, and Clarkson's absence from the team will be severely felt.
 In addition to being the captain of the team Clarkson had for four years been the best pitcher in college. In his four years he lost only five games, three to Princeton and one each to Georgetown and Williams. Coburn, the other leading pitcher, has a good record, but cannot compete with Clark son as a pitcher
 A new captain will be elected by the Harvard nine tomorrow. It is believ- led that Proctor Carr, of Cambridge, the only senior on the nine besides Clark

 ter to Garment Workers.

HARVARD's WORK.
Goes Over the Four-Mile Course in
 2Is45.


 2Is45.
 Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 13-What looks to be the daily routine of the Harvard crews for the remainder of the season was gone over Hate this afternoon, the men rowing two four-mile stretches. Meier was in at No. in the varsity boat when it went over to the starting place for the even ing spin The crew started out over the four miles padding an easy stroke |of 27 to the minute. There was 8 good drive and the boat went smoothly all the way to the bridge. After a short wait the shell was headed upstream, with wind and tide with it. Under these favorable conditions the shell went over the first mile in a little over five minutes, but the men let down on their good work and failed to hang to- Igether thereafter. During the second mile the work was ragged and at the two-mile post the second crew took 1t |up with the varsity, having 8 lead of about half a length. Both crews pulled hard and the fight for the lead over the remainder of the distance was keen one. The second crew hit the stroke up to 3S near the finish and pulled the varsity to 34-stroke. Try as they could, the varsity was unable to over haul the substitutes and finished about six feet astern. Coach Colson gave out the time for the four miles at 21:45, which was the fastest of the year, but |slow for the conditions.
 The varsity four went a half mile this afternoon in 240, with Ober at bow. Word was received to-day from John lBowditch, the substitute that he would probably return to Red Top the latter part of next week, as his attack of measles had not been as severe as ex- Ipected.
 This morning the varsity crew went downstream to the navy yard and rowed from 28 to 30 strokes a minute on the way back. The freshman and four-oar crews were put through light rowing this morning, their energy being
 saved for this evenings work. Consid- erable time was spent this morning ill breaking in Meier, whose work on the port side of the shell was entirely new to him. He mastered the change quick ly, however, and there was no hitch caused by. the shift.

 out First Appealing to Him to Right
 the Unwitting Wrong. Washington, June 1S-General James N. Tyner, who was removed from of flee as assistant attorney general for the postoff1ce department during the investigation of the department and who was recently tried and acquitted by Ia jury, has addressed the following let- ter to President Roosevelt:
 1741 Kenesaw Avenue, N. w.,
 Washington, D. C., June Il. 1904 The President:
 Sir: In November, 1903, on tho strength of certain charges contained in a report by Mir. Bristow, the fourth as- sistant postmaster general, you gave to the press of the country statement to the effect that gross corruption in the department in the care of Assistant At torney General Tyner has gone on for 8 number of years,' and after referring
  Ito me as the chief offender you say that in my case "the corruption took the form of favoring get-rich-quick con- |cerns and similar schemes: in other words, the criminals. whom it was (rny) sworn duty to prosecute, paid (me) for permission to fleece the public unno- Tested"
 After thus giving your official opinion as chief magistrate of the nation as to my guilt, you referred to the fact that there were three indictments pending against me, and you called upon jury to do it's duty"
 No verdict of jury nor sentence of judge could have had such far reaching Tor irremediable consequences for me as this extraordinary official proclamation of guilt by you, and the ordinary ma chinery of justice is probably powerless fully to rectify the injustice done. I'm lmediately upon seeing your charges in the press, addressed you a letter, protesting that on the mere esay-so of MT. Bristow you had no right, without lat least first giving me chance to be heard in my defense or without con- fronting me with the charges or the evidence, thus prematurely and rashly Ito prejudice me and perhaps forever 1 blast the good name and character which for nearly eighty years had en- deavored to establish.
 ! When I wrote this letter had little hope that merciful and just God would spare my life long enough to en- able me to face a jury of my peers, and I wished merely to record what I be- llieved to be a death-bed protest against (fs0ntinued on Fsiffh PapnEl \ N '
