BllCkMAILERS WORK.
Demand $4,000 From a Wealthy Hotel
Proprietor.

New York, Oct. 24.-Three letters,
each containing a demand for $1,000 un-
der penalty of death or injury to him
self and family for refusal, are reported
to have been received by the proprietor
of a new hotel in Upper Fifth avenue.
Guests of the hostelry, one of the rich
est in the country, were startled last
Wednesday morning by an explosion.
Inquirers were told that the noise was
caused by the bursting of an electric
light globe, but it now develops that
the blackmailers, having failed to carry
out their plan, set off a light charge of
some explosive outside the proprietors s
apartments on the fourth floor of the
hotel.
The present police theory points to
the attempt as the work of some en-
ploye or helpers of the hotel.
Half a dozen detectives have been at
work on the case for some days. When
the second letter was received they dis
guised a man to appear like the hotel
proprietor and had him follow the letter
writer's instructions, dropping a pack
age supposed to contain $1,000 at a
given place. The detectives were
secreted for several hours where they
could observe the neighborhood, but no
one appeared to take the letter and the
next day a fresh threat was received
stating that the ruse was known to the
writer.

STREET CARS COLLIDE
Eighteen Persons Are Injured on a
Massachusetts Line.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 24.-In a
rear end collision between two trolley
cars on the Westboro and Marlboro
street railway two and one-half miles
west of Westboro, eighteen people
were injured. 1t is thought all of the
injured will recover.
Slippery rails are accountable for
the accident. A Worcester Consolidated
street railway car was being sent to
Worcester for repairs and when on
hill the car kicked. Before the motor
man could get control of it, the cat
was running backward down the hill.
At the foot of the hill on a curve it
was met by the regular car from
Marlboro to Worcester, which was
making good speed to climb the hill
The cars crashed together with ter
rife force, demolishing the vestibules
on both cars and ripping every seat
from its fastenings on the Westboro
car, which had twenty passengers
aboard There were no passengers on
the other car. A panic among the pas
sengers followed the crash.
Motorman Mahoney was caught un-
der the controller, which fell upon
him. Motorman Paine jumped and
was injured when he struck the road.
Conductor Malet also jumped.
Several people had limbs broken,
but no one was fatally injured.

CLARK WILL STAY.
of Senator's Retirement From
Politics Denied.


Butte, Mont, Oct. 24.-Concerning
the rumor in New York of Senator w.
A Clark's retirement from politics,
Judge William B. Ford, counsel for
Senator Clark. today said:
There is not word of truth in it.
The rumor probably had its origin in
the fact that Mr.. Clark has sold out
his interest in the Helena Independent
to John S. NJ. Neill, and the Great
Falls Tribune to w. G. Conrad. His
disposition has been to dispose of his
newspaper interests in the state, out
side of Butte, and to put them in the
hands of people living in the COM
munity in which hey are published.
THE selling out of these papers will
not change their policy in the least
they will still continue to advocate and
work for the success of the Democratic
party.
Senator Clark is taking as much in
terest in politics as he ever did, and is
starting tonight on a tour of the state
in the interest of the Dem ocratic ticket
and will deliver many speeches before
his return to Butte"

BRYAN ENTERS OHIO.
After Speaking to a Big Crowd at
Wheeling, w. Va.

Wheeling. W. Va, Oct. 24.-William
J. Bryan spoke to large crowd of peo-
pie, early today in front OF the HoteI
WINDSOR. Mr.. Bryan said that he was
sorry that. he could not make a longer
stay IN West Virginia as in the last
campaign Senator Henry g. Davis had
worked heart and soul for him and
now he was returning the favor. He
said that while the money question was
not the paramount issue this time he
had determined to carry on the fight
against Imperialism and that was what
threatened the people of this country
at this time more than any other one
thlng. He said that Judge Parker
stands for the constitution and govern
ment most adaptable to this age. He
condemned the colonial policy and said
Mr.. Roosevelt stood FOR the enlarge
ment Of the army. 1t had cost the
country $115.000, 900 since the last Re
publican administration and now Mr..
Roosevelt wants it increased to $415,-
00O, ,OOO
Il think it time that the Republicans
are giving US reasons for these in
creased expenditures said Mr. Bryan.
In closing, he referred to the full
dinner pail by saying that when he
reached Ohio he found that Senator
Beveridge had turned the dinner pail
into coffee, pot and that there were
reasons to believe that the coffee pot
would be turned into a water pitcher
at the present rate OF progress Tor the
poor man.
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Wheeling Sun
day afternoon. He departed early to-
day for Bridgeport, O., where after
making a 15 minute speech he left for
Canton, O., anG will make speeches en-
route.
Senator Fairbanks left in his private
car this morning for Ohio points, haY-
ing been in Wheeling since Saturday
afternoon.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied by
Chairman Harry Harber of the Ohio
executive committee who arranged the
itinerary for Mr. Bryan, and who IL
managing the Democratic campaign in
the state. The itinerary as arranged
provides speeches of from five to 30
minutes duration today in 1S towns In
Ohio, including with night meeting
in Hamilton.

TOWNE WON'T HAVE n.
He Declines a Populist Endorsement
for Congress.

New York, ,Oct.24.-Charles A Towne.
the Democratic nominee for congress
in the Fourteenth congressional dis
trict, has sent a letter to the executive
committee of the Peoples party, de-
clining that party's endorsement of
him for congress. Mr.. Towne says II
am Democrat I impugn no mans
motives l recognize every citizens
right to exercise his political functions
according to his own conscience; but 1
am profoundly of the opinion that in
this campaign, the fundamental prin-
ciples Of our republic are at stake and
that a vote for any national ticket 9TH
er than Parker and Davis is at least
half vote in favor of the abandon
ment of the doctrine of our national
life. Under the circumstances I do not
think myself justified in accepting
formal tender of support which applies
discrimination against the balance of
the Democratic ticket in whose success
lies the only hope of defeating the Re
publican party"
1t was officially stated at Tammany
Hall that Representative SuIzer and
Mr.. Laughlin. candidates for congress
have also declined the Populist en-
dOrSe.

ALL DOUBT GONE.
Democrats Declare Parker's Election
Is Assured.

New York Oct ga statement
has been given out by the Democratic
national committee, after a consulta-
ton between Thomas Taggart, chair
man; William F. Sheehan, chairman
of the executive committee, and De-
lancy Nicoll, vice chairman for the
east. 1t says:
I'VE have made no formal state
ment concerning the political situation
before this time because the materials
upon which alone correct judgment
could be formed were not at hand.
Our efforts during the past three
months have been devoted to the task
of organizing and harm onizing the
party in the states hitherto considered
doubtful by reason of former dfssen-
sfons. The work is now finished, and
it fs possible for the first time to
reach a conclusion based upon a sys-
tematc canvass which can never be
satisfactorily made until after organ
lzation is completed and the campaign
has well progressed.
In every state and in all sections
Democrats have buried their differ
ences and are working harmoniously
and enthusiastically for the ticket
Our canvass shows that scarcely any
where is there a trace of the dissen-
sions which for the past eight years
have unhappily divided the party. In
the states of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut Indiana, MARYLAND Della
the western states our organization is
now more complete and effective than
ever before in the history of the party.
Candidates for governor who stand for
the very highest type of citizenship
and represent popular local Democrat
ic issues in all the doubtful states are
greatly aiding the national ticket by
their energetic campaign.
Our canvass shows that we shall
certainly carry by good majorities the
states of New York, New Jersey. Con-
necticut, Maryland, Delaware West
Virginia and Indiana, and that, in ad-
dition to these electoral votes, we shall
have the majority, if not ALL of the
electoral votes of the Rocky mountain
states. 1t is impossible at this juno
ture to predict the outcome in Wis
consin.
Illinois must also be classed in the
doubtful column, for although at this
moment our canvass there is imper-
feet 1t is sufficiently advanced to in
dfcate an unmistakable Republican
detection

FOOTBALL OFFICIALS.
and X. q. Agree-Only 500
Tickets on Sale.

Officials for the K. U.-washburn
game on next Saturday have been Sc
lected. They are James S. Brown, an
old Columbia man, of Kansas City,
Kan, umpire; W. S. Roose of King
fisher. Okla, referee, and Harry Scan
drett of Topeka, head linesman and
t1mekeeper Brown was recommended
by WaShburn, Roose by K U. ROose
is coach of the Kingfisher team.
Manager Leach today placed on sale
at Stansheld's 500 tickets for the big
game. This is all the tickets emitting
the holder TO reserved seats which will
be sold here, unless some are returned
from Lawrence or Washburn. Law
renee has 1000 tickets and Washburn
500. Some of these which are not
taken will probably be on sale later.
The indications are, however, that
tickets will not be very plentiful, and
people who expect to view the game
from one of the grandstands would do
well to buy now. Standing room along
the side lines can probably be obtained
at any time
The interest in the game throughout
those portions of the state visited by
Manager Leach, is reported to be un-
usual, and the low rates made by the
railroads will doubtless result in big
crowds coming to Topeka for the
game. Leach and two special men
whom he has hired started off today to
advertise the game in other towns in
this part of the state.
Several thousand dollars will prob
ably change hands in Topeka on the
result of the Kansas-W -Washburn game.
Betting is very lively a even money.
Both sides are being freely backed for
liberal sums. The game it is believed
will be very closely contested by both
sides, and very few are offering odds,
and even those who do offer odds are
not willing to make it more than 10 to
8. Kansas is probably regarded as the
winner by most of those who are pIac-
ing money.
The local herd of Elks, it is said, are
ready to back Washburn to the limit
of the contingent from Lawrence.
Lawrence money, it is also said, will
be plentiful, and it is reported that
5000 of Kansas money is already in
Topeka, waiting to be covered.
A good many bets have already
been posted on the game at Eagles
cigar store. There is now some money
there which has not been covered. One
bet of $50 and another of $40 on
Washburn and $5 on Kansas have not
been taken.
A telephone message from Lawrence
late this afternoon stated that $50 wo1lId
be sent to Topeka if odds of to 1 could
be secured The Lawrence people will
not be able to get up any money in To-
peka at those odds.
