SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-As result Of
the primaries Charles F. Murphy con-
trolls seventeen leaders against ten
controlled by Mayor Mcclellan. The
Sullivans won in the seven districts
where they have always held their
strength, and therefore should they
side with Mayor Mcclellan in the ex-
ecutive committee Murphy will be op-
posed by sixteen
This does not include John F. Ahearn.
leader of the Fourth, and James ]. Mar
tin. leader of the Twenty seventh. both
of whom have been classed as doubtful.
Should they swing with the Mayor and
the Sullivans should also, as the Nc
Clellan forces have reason to believe
they will, Mayor Mcclellan would DOM
mate the executive committee and could
carry out his promise to depose Murphy.
There will be no reorganization of
the executive committee. however, un-
til December, and in the interim, 1t was
pointed out, several of the Murphy lead
ers who were not opposed in the cleo
tions today may swing to the McClei-
jority 1t is predicted Murphy will have
great difficulty in maintaining his hold
on the Tammany executive committee.
But more important, Murphy will not
deliver the delegates from this city to
Hearst, even should he desire to- do So
1se DELEGATES IN ALL.
There are 1s6 delegates to the Buffalo
convention from the entire city-105s
from Manhattan and Bronx. sixty-nine
from Kings. nine from Queens and
three from Richmond. Hearst tried to
capture all Ave boroughs- He got part
of Manhattan and the Bronx Brook
Iyn, Queens and Richmond are against
him. He can only get hfty-seven dele
gates at the outside. and this is un-
certain.
The most important matter Is the
bearing the primaries will have on the
Buffalo convention. but sight will not
be lost of the evidence that is Shown
of the waning strength of Mr.. Murphy.
He must do something to redeem him
self or he will not long continue as the
leader of Tammany.
Told in some detail, the results in
Tammany are thft the sullivans control
without dispute seven districts. and the
Mayor will control at least ten. The
Mayor carried some of the most i'm
portant districts. In the Nineteenth
District, where Mr.. Murphy was doing
all in his power to prevent John II.
O'Brien, fire commissioner, from going
as a delegate to Buffalo. the City Hall
ticket triumphed. Rowell Williams
overthrew Matthew Donohue in the
Seventeenth District, and In the Thir-
tieth Percy Nagle defeated Mr.. Muir
phys candidate for district leader. John
F. Cowan.

MURPHY NEEDS SULLIVAN.

These with the district which the
Mayor already controlled will give him
a foothold in the Tammany executive
committee, which he can use as lew
erage against Mr. Murphy II he so
desires. Only the support of Timothy
D. Sullivan can keep Mr.. Murphy in
power.
The Hearst effort in Brooklyn met
with an Overwhelming defeat. In many
districts Sheriff Flaherty. the Hearst
sheriff, put up tickets for delegates
avowed1y for Hearst Wherever this
was done they were heavily defeated.
Driven to desperation by indications
of defeat in every quarter. the old
political leaders in both political ma
chimes today resorted to the most des-
perate methods of violence and fraud
in nearly every assembly district in
Manhattan and the Bronx.
On the Tammany side blackjacks and
clubsl were most frequently used with
apparent success to subdue the opposi-
ton Among the contests In Tammany
the most bitter was that in the Thir-
tieth between John r. Cowan, the MUIR
ply candidate. and Perciva1 e. Nagle,
the Mcclellan candidate. Nagle was
assaulted and rendered unconscious by
a blow on the head with a blackjack.
When he came to, in addition to scalp
wound which required seven stitches,
it was found that his left wrist had
been fractured and four fingers of his
left hand broken.

In the Thirtieth District. shortly
after the polls opened, an attempt to
assault Ross D. Williams was made in

Animals of Pure Breed Intended 10
Improve Mexican Herds Not
Welcome.

Guthrie, Ok.-The opposition of some
of the Mexican cattlemen to the intro
duction Of high-grade American ami
mails for breeding purposes has resulted
in the cruel multilation by unknown
parties of shipment Of dairy COWS re-
Gently sent to Mexico, according to w:
P. Eager, Of Guthrie. who has been en-
gagged for some time in shipping high
grade cattle into Mexico, under the au-
spices Of the different breeders associa-
lions.
Among the heavy shippers into Meu-
CO recently has been an Illinois firm,
which pays especial attention to dairy
COWS. This firm recently shipped load
OF IS cows, all full-blooded and regis
tered buttermakers. Shortly after the
car crossed the border into Mexico,
some unknown person enterod the car
and cut the teats of 20 of the coWy, ruin
ing them entirely for dairy purposes,
and injuring them 30 that number OF
them will probably die.
The Mexican government has lately
been encouraging the introduction of
better blood into Mexican herds. and
has the cooperation OF the better class
of cattle raisers. Some of them are,
however, suspicious and jealous of the
big business which American firms
have been doing lately. The matter has
been referred to the authorities at

TRADE on MOSQUITOES.
American Society Of Exterminators
Issues "Brief" Of De-
clarations.

New York.-At the convention of the
American Mosquito determination 80
ciety here, President w. ]. Matheson.
OF New York city, said that a large
percentage Of The population Of this
country yearly lose their lives or are
incapacitated by disease from the in
sidious work Of the mosquito. 1.-THE
Mosquito Brief" designed to convey
the layman information regarding
mosquitoes and to form a confession
of faith" of the society, was discussed
and adopted. Some Of its declarations
are:
There are over 100 species OF mos
quitoes in the United States.
Mosquitoes require one to three
weeks to develop from eggs to winged
insects. Some species lay as many as
300 to 400 eggs at time. Only few
mosquitoes live month.
Rigid tests prove that certain species
are the only natural means Of trans
mission Of malaria and yellow fever.
OF the domestic variety the danger
GUS malarial mosquitoes are among
the most generally distributed. They
never seem to travel far-only q few
hundred yards.
Mosquitoes are known to bite more
than once.
Mosquitoes are needless and dan
gerous pest. Their propagation can be
prevented.

DYING is ONLY SLEEP.
'oul Not Violently wrenched from,
Body, Says British Med
ical Journal.

London.-The bishop of London is
taken to task by the British Medical
Journal for some remarks he recently
made protesting to describe how it feels
to die. Indeed, the Journal asks if there
lis any sensation at all.
"Farciful persons" the Journal says,
speaks as it the soul violently
wrenched itself ssunder from the body.
Those. however, who have stood by
many dsathbeds know that most people
pass into the silent land as peacefully as
II they were going to sleep.
Even when grea, pain has been suf-
tered In the last struggle for life, when
death finally claims the victim for his
own he mercifully lulls him into insens-
lbility or Indifference. Whatever fear
Of the unknown there may previously
have been seems to pass away with the
ebbing tide of life.''

JlU JITsU CALLED FAILURE.
Naval Academy at Annapolis Will
Exclude It from Exer-
cises

Annapolis jitsu at the United
States Naval academy has proved fails
ure. One year ago the craze to acquire
a thorough knowledge of the Japanese
art of self-defense was paramount, hue
the result of the matches within the last
six months, in which American wrest-
lers demonstrated that the native art
was superior to the japanese art, leg
and body twist, convinced the cadets
that jill jitsu has been greatly over
rated.
Prof. Yamashita. the jiu jitsu expert
who instructed President Roosevelt in
the art, gave the last of the series of so
lessons covering last season and this to
the midshipmen. His contract has not
been renewed, and neither has he been
successful in making profitable engage
ments for the future. In fact, interest
in his art has died out and he will re-
turn TO Japan. He has received $3a,33a
for each lesson of an hour at the acad-
envy.

They stood away in disdainful aloof-

between them and Baldos.
In broken, jerky sentences Ravone

to give the place wide berth. Now
they were making the best of hard
journey to Serros, where they expected
but little better success. He produced
certain papers of Identification, which
Quinnox examined and approved, much
to Beverly's secret amazement. The
princess and the colonel exchanged
glances and afterward a few words
in suhdued tones. Yetlve looked fur
lively at Beverly and then at Baldos,
as IL to inquire whether these men
were the goat hunters she had come to
know by word of mouth. The two
faces were hopelessly noncommittal.
Suddenly Baldos' horse reared and
began to plunge as If In terror, SO that
the rider kept his seat only by means
Of adept horsemanship. Ravone leaped
forward and at the risk of injury
clutched the plunging steed by the bit.
Together they partially subdued the
animal and Baldos swung to the ground
