SCHIEREN STILL FOR FULLER.
His Attitude Said to Indicate He Doesn't
Seek Mayoraity Nomination.

It was announced soon after the de-
parture for Europe OF former Mayor Charles
E. Sohieren Of Brooklyn early in the sum-
mer that he had decided to take no further
part in the fractional fight for control Of the
Republican organization In the Tenth
Assembly district. 1t was largely through
Mr.. Sohieren's influence that former Eec-
ton Commissioner r. c. Fuller had sue
ceeled In deposing former Police Com
missioner William E. Philips from the lead
ership of the district and becoming the

especially in view Of the fact that Col.
Michael j. Dady had always been In close
political and personal alliance with the
ex-Polioe Commissioner. Col. Dady had

comfortable berth himself.
Early in the year the Philips forces or
nanized the Lafayette Club and declared
their purpose to regain II possible the
control Of the district from Fuller and his

word has just come from Hamburg.
where Mr.. Schieren ia visiting, that he y
still in active sympathy with Fuller and is
going to give him all the aid in his power
to retain the leadership. The news Of
the ex-Mnyor'e attitude In the factional
fight was communicated in this letter to
MI. Fuller from Charles A. Schieren. Jr.:
"MY DEAR SENATOR: Have just heard
from Charles A. Schieren, who is at pres
ent in Hamburg He writes. to quote his
own words, as follows: I notice clipping
from one Of the papem which stated thai
/ had thrown over Fuller. This Ia not
true. On the contrary, I have urged all
OF my friends to stand by Mr.. Fuller. and
you can make that statement for me, moet
emphatically. expect to arrive home on
the 9Th of September. which is almost two
weeks before the primaries will be held. so
that shall be there in time to take hand
in them"
Fuller and his friends are elated over the
intelligence from Hamburg, but the
Sohieren Mayoralty boomers regard Mr..
Schieren'e action as bad politics in case
he really has any aspirations for the May
orally nomination. Some politicians think
that Mr. Schieren would have remained
neutral in the factional controversy be-
tween the Fullerites and Philipsites II he
had any intention to seek the Mayoralty
nomination.

'oDELL SHIFTS TO ER0EE
FOR ANY OFFICE If NECESSARY
TO REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS.

Comes Out n Last with Pubiic statement
OF His Pesition-Jeromo Himself
Likely Soon to Make Plain That He'll
Net Nun for Mayor-Murphy's Views.
Chairman Odell OF the Republican State
committee, after great deal Of revising
Of opinions, consented yesterday to the
publication as coming from him Of this
statement:
III Jerome seems TO be necessary to the
SUCCESS of the Republican ticket this year.
I, as loyal Republican, will be willing to
do everything possible for the SUCCESS OF
my party
while Mr.. Odel would not be quoted for
moro than this, he gave to those with whom
he talked the impression that his self
abnegation would even 60 90 far as to
sgrce to the nomination OF Mr.. jerome
for Mayor II he could be convinced that
that was the only way Of beating Mayor
Mcclellan.
But while Mr.. Odell ia apparently anx-
ious to 90 on record az being ready to sacri-
Zoe his own wish to have q straight Republic
can named for Mayor, in private the State
chairman makes no pretense Of hiding his
resentment toward Mr. Jerome.
Several times In the last week when Mr.
Odell has been discussing Mr.. Jerome
with his friends the District Attorneys
ears must have tingled.
Not few Republicans were frank enough
yesterday when they heard Of Mr.. Odell's
statement, to say that 1t meant that Mr..
Odell has little hope Of winning the coming
municipal eleotion either with straight
Republican or combination ticket. 1t was
reported last night, also, that Mr.. Odell
knows that his political future depends
upon the outcome Of the election. It Is
known that the leaders Of the Republican
party have all along agreed that no attempt
should be made to disturb Odell In his
ohairmanshp until after this years cleo
ton. Mr.. Odell also realizes how much
the reeult Of the election means to him, and
according to some Republicans 1t Is this
understanding which led him to make
the Jerome II necessary" statement yester-
day.
But II District Attorney Jerome doesn't
change his mind, neither Mr.. Odell nor the
Citizens Union will be able to use him to
defeat Mcclellan. Mr. Jerome is not talk
ing publicly just now, but In private he Is
making some very strong comments on
certain men who think that he will agree
to run for Mayor simply because they wish
him to.
Mr.. Jerome will probably make his posi-
ton clear within a few days. He wants to
be reelected District Attorney. He fully
understands what percentage Of chance
there Ia of defeating Mcclellan this year.
As a candidate for District Attorney, 1t Ia
not improbable, in the opinion Of men who
are close to Charles F. Murphy. that Mr..
Jerome will be Endorsed by the Democrats
and in that event his reelection would be
certain

PAYS HIS WIFE TOO MUCH.

Cop Thinks That He Ought to Have More
Money to Uphold Dignity Of His Job.
Policeman William Smith OF Richmond
Hill went before Justice. Burr in tho SUI
preme Court, Brooklyn, yesterday to plead
for q reduction OF his wife's alimony. The
couple. who were married twenty-three
years ago. have lived apart for several
years and Mrs. Smith has been getting
SO q week, or more than one-third Of his
81, 400 salary. He submitted to the court
that her allowance ought to be cut TO As.
In his petition the cop said In part:
the salary paid to me Is devoted by the
public for the support and maintenance OF
myself a. q patrolman in manner becoming
and fitting the dignity Of my Office and the
necessary equipment for the position. II
is against public policy for any one to in
terfere with the application Of such salary
for any other purposes.
Smith said further that when the court
allowed his wife SO week she had two
daughters to care for. Since then one had
married and the other had . good job.
Justice Burr said there was some force
In the plea and instructed Smith to give his
wiie.s attorney eight days notice Of the
proposed change.

LONDON, Aug. 22.--The Berlin corre-
spondent OF the World says that great ten
sion exists between the courts Of Berlin
and st. James's. or so, at least. the inspired
portion OF the German press declares; and
although 1t Is notorious that Representatives
Of the German press are not received at
court, there Ia no reason to suppose that his
information does not faithfully reflect the
feelings Of tho Hohenzollern family and the
Emperor William. Complaint Is made that
the Emperor has heen repeatly cut by his
royal uncle, King Edward. who ostentA-
tiously avoided the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern during her Mediterranean cruise
and Queen Alexandra left Gibraltar some
hours before the Hohenzollern arrived with
the Kaiser, fresh from his visit to Tangier.
Save to one or two writer's, II does not
OCCUR to Germans that tho British royal
couple may have excellent reasons for
avoiding the friendly protestations Of their
illustrious relative, whose words accord 80
III with his acts.
1t IL accordingly stated that King Edward
owes his nephew a visit in Berlin and that
until that visit has been paid there can be
no question, we are told, Of the restoration
OF friendly relations between Germany and
Great Britain. As a matter Of fact the
German scribes are quite wrong in their
reckoning.
King Edward offered to pay visit to
tho German Emperor in Berlin early In last
year, but the date suggested did not At
In with the dispositions Of the German
court With great courtesy the British
monarch then consented to attend the Kiel
festivities and his presence at the German
naval port last year was regarded by every
one at the time as equivalent to q formal
visit to Berlin. II now 1t is declared that .
visit to Berlin must be paid the declaration
can be made only with the view Of stirring
up popular feeling in Germany against the
British monarch.
The German Empress is further said to
be deeply incensed because Queen Alex
andra has not thought fit to visit her In the
German capital. She thinks that as she
has been an Empress longer than Alexandra
has been Queen 1t IL the duty Of the latter
to take the initiative in the matter Of visits
That is a point which may fitly be left to tact,
but IL is symptomatic OF the attitude Of the
German court that the complaint should
be made.
