NEW YORK LOOKS sAFE.

The New York newspaper polls pro
duced a decided impression upon the
minds OF the politicians and largely ais.
sipated the effects OF long weeks OF
Republican bluster. Even the fake bet
tors have drawn in their horns and
confne their activities TO their own
kind. Real money has no terUrs for
them.
There seems to be no dtubt what
ever that New York is safe for Par
ker All the polls indicate that much.
even in cases where there is no par
tisan wish in that direction. The Her
aid poll. compiled by a shrewd, intel-
ligent and intensely partisan Repub-
lican, comedies a majority to Parker
In Greater New York Of 1873 600 The
politicians who have been dealing with
the Herald postal card system for
years. knowing the predictions of the
compiler. easily discern a vast Demo
cratic movement in the city. BY ap-
plying the usual discounts and addi-
tions they easily see that Parker has
a record majority IN the city, and that
by the same rule the Republicans have
not an overwhelming majority in the
country
u is not the practice OF the outsiders

importance TO these newspaper polls.
but Sew York people have become ac.
,ustomod to using them as bases for
guessing And the Herald poll proves
10 them that Parker has the state well
in hand
Indeed. it is no more than proper
to infer that the Herald itself has been
overcome by its own Investigations.
Il admits after reflection a great Dem
ocratic tidal wave in the greater city
and the possibility Of less strenuous
Republican wave in the rural counties.
The Republicans have already decreas-
ed their estimates. dropping from So
600 and $4,000 plurality TO 25000 which
they would give millions to insure.
And what betting there has been
has turned with the tide and the gam
bIers have come to recognize the real
strength Of Judge Parker. Herrick is
again a favorite and the belief is jus
tilted that Parker will be equally so be
fore the week ends.
This cheering outlook is not confined
to New York city or the state Of
New York. The same conditions which
prevail in the metropolis are found to
exist in the Jersey and Connecticut
suburbs and the inference that the
great Parker wave extends to both
states is fully justified when the sim
ilarity of environment is considered.

ASSAULTS GIRL

j. Nelson PrOwse Meets
Death at Hands of Sister
in-Law, Miss Kate Sendrey
Special Dispatch to IN. Call

HOUSTON, Texas, June u.-Miss
Kate Sendrey. a beautiful girl OF 20,
shortly after midnight this morning
shot and killed her brother-in-law, J..
Nelson Prowse. at his home at Austin.
Miss Sendrey was on a visit to her
sister at the house and the deed was
done in self protection. Prowse. who
was foreman of the Austin Statesman,
returned home shortly before midnight
in a state Of intoxication. Mrs. Prowse
through fear fed and this angered him
to the extent that he threatened to
murder Miss Sendrey and his own
daughter, a little girl OF four. Miss
Sendrey managed to get revolver that
was kept at the house and armed her
self with It, Prowse's violence in
creased until he made an assault upon
her, when she drew the weapon from
her corsage and fired.
The bullet passed through the body
near the navel and caused almost i'm

Sendrey underwent the formalfties of
arrest, but was quickly released upon

EXPLORING EXPEDITION
MUST BE RECALLED
Mrs. Hearst Withdraws Her Support
From the Harvard Egyptolog-
ical Mission.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 11.-Word
has been received from Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, who has been supplying the
funds, that the Harvard EgyptolobicaI
exploring expedition at Girga, under
Professor George Reisner, must be
given up, as she is not able TO
finance the work for the present. This
decision comes as an unexpected blow
to the Harvard authorities, who had
been led to believe that for the next
five years at least the researches might
be carried on, as the outlook at Girga
is so promising. Many American
savants have believed that within the
next half decade Professor Reisner
would rival amy European discoverer
in that field. He has an annual endow-
ment from Mrs. Hearst of S12,0 900, ten
tatively for five years, and Harvard is
not in a position at present to make
up that sum.
An explanation of Mrs. Hearst's sud-
den withdrawal of support is given,
and is to the effect that large mine in
which she is interested must make a
change in the processes Of treating
ores, the expense of the change being
so costly as to preclude dividends for
some time.

Drops Dead.

OMAHA, Nebr., June 11-Mrs. Anto-
Mo Leitner dropped dead of heart fail
ure to-day at the Bohemian Catholic
Church. South Omaha, during the fun
eral services over the remains of her

Lietner had a few minutes before
promised the dead woman's children
that she would be a mother to them.
Her death was the result of grief and
excitement.
Mrs. kramolish was very popular
member OF the Bohemian community
and some 1900 persons were in the
church or crowding around the en-
trance. There was considerable COM

Houses.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Financier
says: The striking features of the Of
fetal statement of the New York Asso-
ciated Banks last week were the high
records for the year for surplus re-
serve and for cash and legal tender;
the surplus holdings were only S4,155, 900
below the May movement AS was ex-
pected, loans were expanded. probably
as the result of new engagements by
commission houses and also of some
syndicate borrowing; the amount of
such expansion was, however, moder-
ate, it being only S5,528, 100. Specie in
creased s5,019,10O, while legal tenders
increased 81, $3.50. 500. The gain in cash
was therefore s6, 4O9, 500, an amount very
closely corresponding to that of 1851,
500. which was estimated on the basis
of the traceable movements of money
for the week. Deposits were increased
$40. .432. 800, which amount was $3,505, 400
below the sum of the increase in loans
and the gain in cash, therefore the
statement did not balance.
The required reserve was increased
s2,60S,O75, deducting which from the
gain in cash left S3,S01,525 as the in
crease in surplus reserve TO $35,562, 400,
the highest of the year. The previous
maximum surplus was 34.203, 700 on
April %. Computed on the basis of de-
posits. less those of s23, 1863. 800 of Gov
ernment funds. the surplus is SAL. 403, $50.
Circulation was increased $500. 900,
making the gain in this item during
the past three weeks 1.607 500. The
statement was made on rising averages
for cash, the S2.697 900 paid by the sub
treasury by the transfer of the pro-
ceeds of japanese gold deposited at
San Francisco counting for only about
$1.O00O00 in the averages. The public
deposits were decreased only S1700, COM
pared with those of the previous week.

PITCHER CASE
TO Be HEARD
Captain Parker to Defend
Lieutenant Accused of
Having Tilted Miss Harold
TAFT STARTS INQUIRY
Army Officer Says Matter
Should Never Have Been
Called to Public Notice
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON,-J June 1.-THE arrival
In the city of Captain John H. Parker,
Twenty eighth Infantry, from the Pre-
sidio, with authority to present the
case of Lieutenant Colonel William L.
Pitcher touching the charge laid against
him of having Tilted Miss Carolina Har-
old. has put a somewhat different face
upon the incident. Whatever may be
done in the matter by the War Depart
ment, if anything, 1t is time to say
that the story sent out to the effect
that a court-martial has been decided
upon was premature. Secretary Taft
has taken no action In the matter fur
ther than to cause an inquiry to be
started. Lieutenant Colonel Pitcher
has been given permission to make his
statement, and following a recital Of
the circumstances attending the break
ing of the engagement made by letter
comes Captain Parker, who will be
given an opportunity to be heard on
Monday.
1t Is said that the department since
receiving the letter of explanation from
Colonel Pitcher may, upon suggestions
that have been made heretofore, leave
the entire matter to the civil courts,
deeming it much too delicate affair to
be gone into by a court-martial. Much
sympathy is expressed for the lady in
the case, who is a clerk in the War
Department, on account Of the pub
licity attained. 1t was first brought to
public notice through the appeal in her
behalf made by Hon. John Humphrey
Small, a member of Congress from
North Carolina, who is relative of
Miss Harold, and who enlisted the
sympathy of Secretary Taft.
Captain Parker declines to make
public Colonel Pitchers defense. He
talked freely of Colonel Pitchers serv-
ices, his character. his standing as
soldier and gentleman, and recounted
his services in cleaning up the city of
Havana as provost marshal, and his
later services in the Philippines. where
he CParker) served with him in Luzon;
of his having pacified a territory great
er in size than the whole Pacific slope,
and in such manner that never has
complaint or criticism appeared to
embarrass him or the administration.
he also spoke OF COlOnel ElICQeT SlliI
more recent services in Alaska, whence
he was sent directly from the Philip
pines.
When the subject of the pitcher
case" was broached all Captain Parker
would say was: IF I were not salts
fed that Colonel Pitcher is free from
any serious blame L would not be in
the case at all. The code of a gentle
man is to take his medicine and keep
his mouth shut. where a woman is con-
cerned. That is what Colonel Pitcher
is doing and l honor him for it. 1t is
a case which should never have been
made public, in my opinion. Motives
of sound public policy should exclude
from public discussion certain sacred
domestic affairs. especially when these
affairs involve deeper tragedies of the
heart and home. This is a case in
which publicity should never have been
invoked in the first place. The decision
