MAYORS ALTER EGO.
Two Ladies Call to Identify His Honor
 and Declare ''He's Not the nIan.''

~ l@@--S
 and Declare 'tHe's Not the NIan.s
 As the old colored man once said: Oars peck trouble ah coming his way,'' for some fellow in this city, who is impersonating Mayor studley. For some time his honor has received intimations that some one was dupli- eating him, but the climax was reach- ed yesterday afternoon when two well dressed ladies visited the mayors office and asked Miss Sullivan, the official stenographer, what kind of a looking man his honor is.
 Mayor studley was seated in the out CT office at the time and Miss Sullivan pointed him out. As soon as the wom- en saw him one of them said: That s not the man" and without saying another word they hurried out. In the elevator one of the women was over heard to say: There's Il o resem- blance." .ss ....
 Who the other man is and what his game is is a mystery which his honor would much like to solve.

PRESIDENT UPHOLDS
 SHONTS IN CONTRACT
PANAMA SUBSISTENCE CON- CESSION IS WORTH
 MILLIONS.

Contract May be Abrogated at Will
 of Government-ShOnts' Statement
 Clears Allegations of Unfair Treat ment in Award-shOnts Afirms That
 Privilege Has Been Placed in Able,
 Experienced and Honest Hands-Has
 No Doubt of the Result.
 Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 14.-A con- tract for the hotel and subsistence con- cession on the Panama canal zone, awarded to Jacob E. Market of Omaha, Neb., by President Theodore P. Shonts of the Panama Railroad company, will stand.
 This, in effect. is the decision of Pres ident Roosevelt, who to-day approved a report on the subject made to him by MT. Shonts. 4"
 The contract amounts, in the aggre- gate, to many millions of dollars, but MT. Shonts' report indicates that it may be abrogated at the will of the govern mert, which actually will own the per- manent plant used by Mir. Market in filling the term of his contract.
 The president to-day authorized the publication of a report he had received from MT. Shonts. as president of the Panama Railroad company, regarding the protest recently received by him from Hudgins and Dumas and H, Balfe of New York, against the award of the contract to MT. Markel.
 The protest forwarded to the presi- dent by Hudgins and Dumas and H. Balfe alleged that they had not been accorded fair treatment by President Shonts and that through leak in MT. Shont,s office, MT. Markel had been in- formed of the nature of their proposal and had been enabled thereby to incor- porate in his bid the menu which Hud- gins and Dumas had submitted.
 MT. Shonts' statement clears up these allegations to the satisfaction of the president. He therefore has approved the report, and no further action con- corning the protest probably will bt taken. ..-~
 MT. Shonts' report opened with de- seription of the situation on the isth- mus of Janama in July. The imr1e- diate need for arrangements to feet em- ployes was apparent. Consequently, it was agreed that MT. Shonts would im- .rnediately arrange for granting the privilege and for affording proper re- frigerating plants at Colon and on ships, and that the Panama railroad and not the canal commission should handle the matter It was also decid- ed that the railroad company should furnish and maintain all buildings and plants required by the contractor. :.
 Mir Shonts says he explained to the bidders that he was not an experienced hotel man and asked for suggestions as to conditions in specifications. He says in his report: 5y
 E"In making the award I took into consideration not only the prices but the experience of the bidders, and the organization for the business that they have now. I feel that we have done the very best we could to place the privilege in able, experienced and hon. est hands"

STOCK MARKET HIS RUIN
SWINDLER, IN JAIL FOR FRAUD,
 OFFERS SAME OLD EXCUSE.

Sergeant Denne1ly's Capture of Albert
 Rosenheim at south NorwaIISs Yes-
 terday, is Thought to be Important in
 Landing a Much Wanted Individual,
 who Has FIeeced Whiskey Dealers
 and Others by His Liberal Propo-
 sitions. ..
 In the arrest of Albert S. Rosenheim in South Norwalk yesterday afternoon by Sergeant Dennehy, on a charge of theft, the local police think they have a man in custody who is not only much wanted in this city, but also in several other places. Captain Cowles made the following statement concerning the man last night: %,', -.'.
 Rosenheim is about thirty-five years old, smooth face and rather stockily built. He gives his home as New York city and his address as the Hotel Will lard, West Seventy-sixth street. He came to this city representing himself as salesman for the Empire Distilling company, at 235 Broadway, and with a United States bonded warehouse at Petersburg, Ky.
 On July 26 Rosenheim came to this city and went to Moffat & Roach's, on Crown street, and sold them seven bar rels of whisley at what to them was a most reasonable price, $167.7o. The firm paid him $67.70 and gave him a note for $100 As receipt for the money Ro- senheim gave the firm two regular or der redeemable certificates on the Elm pire company. Later he went to the saloon kept by James Klein in Fair Haven and sold $200 worth of whiskey, giving the same kind of certificates. MT. Klein gave Rosenheim $50 in cash and a note for $150, which note Rosen- helm afterwards discounted.
 As the men did not receive promptly the goods which they had purchased | they wrote to the firm and received re- | plies in which 1t was stated that, while | MT. Rosenheim had at one time been a salesman in the employ of the com l pany he had been discharged and they 1 would not honor any of his transac- 1 tions. The local police were then mo- tiffed and Sergeant Dennehy, tracing the man to South Norwalk, placed him under arrest and then brought him 1 here. On his arrival here it was found that | last May Rosenhelm had stopped at the | Tontine hotel and, it is alleged, had jumped a board bill 'at that time amounting to over SEQ. It was further | learned that the man had worked the same swindling game in South Nor walk, Bridgeport and Seymour. It is believed that he has worked the same game in other cities. He is now held under two bonds of $500 each and has retained Attorney James Sullivan to appear for him.
 Captain Cowles said that the man confessed to having kept the money, Rosenheim said that he had played the stock markets and had been losing as fast as he played until swamped. ! A continuance will be asked this morning until Rosenheim's record can be looked up and member of the | liquor company arrives.
 The bonds which were given by the man appear to be genuine, and if they are it is probable that civil actions will be instituted by the mans victims to recover. The charge of theft now lodg- ed against the man will then undoubt- edly be changed to a more serious | charge.

Discrimination Alleged Against Their Race in Nashville steet Car Lines.

Race in Nashville Steet Car Lines.
 New York, Sept. 14.-That R. 1T. Boyd, president of the Pennsylvania Savings bank, of Nashville, Tenn, has purchased in this city four large auto- mobiles for use on new street auto- mobile line for negroes in that city, was announced to-day. The cehicles are to be used by the Union Transport com pany of Nashville.
 The Rev. MT. c. N. Parrish of Louis- vile, Ky, a Eegro educator and a stockholder in the new company, said:
 "A law granting the conductors of the street railways power of police to remove passengers from any seat in the car, and to arrest whoever refuses, was passed several months ago. It Is word ed to apply both to the blacks and the whites, but it is really directed only against the blacks, and since 1t was passed several negroes have been ar rested for refusing to obey the conduct ors. As a result, the receipts in fares have fallen off $500 a week since the law was passed. The negroes immedi- ately organized a company of their own and began usiEg wagons. They found that they owned among themselves seventy vehicles which they could use for the purpose.
 "The enterprise has prospered, and yesterday I went with Mr. Boyd to purchase four large steam automobiles, which will be run in place of cars. The purpose of the company is to give the negroes of Nashville equal rights with the whites as passengers. OEly God and ourselves know what we have to submit to sometimes. It is not our purpose to exclude the whites, and as automobiles are something of a novel, ty in Nashville, we expect that the whites will patronize our company"

Has Very Disturbing Influence Upon
 That Country's Finance.
 Washington, Sept 14.-The state de- partment. to-day received a communi- cation from Consult General Rodgers, at Shanghai, which sets forth the condi- tion of affairs there commercially growing out of the Chinese boycott. One phase of the movement which is disturbing to all business minds, he says, is the effect it is likely to produce upon the finances of that great center of commerce. There are at the present time in Shanghai warehouses approXi- mately 169,0O0 bales of American piece goods, valued at nearly $S0O0,O00. The question of marketing this commodity and of collecting the money under the present condition and w1vn Manchurla closed, he adds, presents a very serious condition and is apt to cause great dif- f1culty not only to the Chinese mer- chants, but also to the importers.

MAYOR COLLINS DEAD.
BostOn's Executive Passes Away at Hot
 Springs, Va.


 Springs, Va.
 Boston, Sept. 14.-The death of May or Patrick A. Collins at Hot Springs Va, was announced here this afternoon by NJ. J. Curran, secretary to the may. or.
 The mayor had kept to his room for three days suffering from acute gastri- tis, but had not been confined to his bed entirely.
 Patrick Andrew Collins will go dowr as one of the most unique characters in New Englands history. Born in Fer. moy, Ireland, in 1S44, he came to Amer. lea as a boy, and was for eight years a chairmaker in Chersea. He went through Harvard law school and be. came in time 8 lawyer. He was poll. tician from birth. He served many terms in both branches of the Massa- chusetts legislature, then went to the lower house of congress, serving severa' terms. He was prominent in securine the renomination of his old friend Grover Cleveland, in 1892, and was sent later to London as consul general. The appointn1net was somewhat offensive tc Great Britain, for Collins had beer, president of the Land league. But ht was accepted and remained until Me- Kinley became president. Returning to Boston, he was elected mayor ir | 1900, and served continuously since. Ii was almost useless to nominate a can | didate against him.

THAT UNSETTLED QUESTION

The execution last week of Andrews
and Arnold for the murder of Mrs.
Youngblood has brought forth the old
question of whether it is right for the
state to take human life The present
law was enacted because of an appar
ent demand from the people that he
who should wantonly take human life
should with his own life pay the pen
atty.
The question of capital punishment
is one of the greatest gravity and
should be considere apart from the
sentimental factor which always plays
50 important a part in its discussion
Shall we go beyond the old Solo
monte rule of An eye for an eye and
a tooth for tooth and say "a life
for life or shall we confine the
worst criminals within prison walls
and waste on them the moral teaching
which they have not known or know
ing have neglected to appropriate?
There is argument on both sides of
the question but after all the pros and
cons have been discussed it is proba BILE
that the state will continue to say that
he who takes human life must do so
at the risk of losing his own.
