MURPHY CHARGES GRAFT.
Says Independence League sandbags
Candidates.

NEW YORK, October 18.-Charles F.
Murphy, leader Of Tammany Hall. in an
interview today charged that the man.
ayers of the Independent League at the
Gilsey House are holding up candidates
for the cash." The Independence League
headquarters are at the Gilsey House.

dates of the Independence League are hold
ing up the Tammany Hall candidates for
money, or Is 1t being done by the managers
of the candidates OF the independence
League at the Gilsey House?" Mr.. Murphy
was asked.
ST mean the managers. They have a lot
of them up there, but I don't know who
they are. I meant managers, reiterated
Mr. Murphy. and adding, Il think 1t is a
matter which the public is concerned about
and Of which they should be informed"
Mr. Murphy said that the nominations
made by Tammany Hall In this city would
be insisted upon, regardless of any action
taken by the Independence League.
There Is q disposition on the part of
the Hearst managers not to withdraw the
name of Judge Rosalsky. What do you
think of lit" Mr.. Murphy was asked.
''I think that some one got some of his
money" the Tammany leader replied.
Judge Rosalsky was nominated Aor the
supreme court by the republicans and his
candidacy was Endorsed by the Independ-
ence League.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Tho only transaction In the list of bank
stocks at today's meeting Of the stock ex-
change was the sale of ten shares OF Co
lumbia Bank stock at 29S. This was the
bid made for the stock, and as a broker had
an order to sell ten shares he let 1t 30 at
that price. The bid was at once renewed,
but there was no more OF the stock onered
for sale. except the offering at 800 made by
the broker who bought the stock and re-
newed the bid.
a higher bid has been recorded in the
case Of this stock. but the transactions IN
1t are few and far between. In this respect
being much like the majority CT the other
stocks on the bank list.
There Is not much talk just now about
banks or projects connected with banks,
which is quite a contrast from the days
when such interets seemed to occupy most
OF the attention in local financial circles.
No new undertaking of this character
seems to be contemplated. although there
IL some talk at present OF the formation
which will be to supply money to cotton
planters throughout the south at rates that
would make 1t profitable to center good
deal Of the business of financing that crop
In this city.
It Is not known what progress has been
made in maturing such scheme, but 1t
is thought that 1t has not as yet passed the
preliminary stages. The organization OF
another trust company, which was pro-
posed some time ago. 1t is understood has
not been abandoned. The principal mover
in such a. project, It is said. has not given
up the Intention to start such q business,
but for some reason nothing is being done
actively just now in that direction.
Much the same thing can be said about
the plan talked of some time ago to es-
tablish financial institution in the upper
Connecticut avenue region. except 1t Is not
thought that 1t is the purpose to go ahead
with 1t.
There was nothing Of special interest
about the trading at today's meeting OF the
titling it to any special consideration. The
only thing that occurred out Of the ord1-
nary was the offering at Al, by broker
who is not the principal trader in the stock,
Of an option on one thousand shares OF the
common stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
This created enough interest to call from
two brokers bids Of 401z for options ON two
such lots. The broker who offered to sell
the option.s later on, bid 40 for one thou
sand shares, and in the event he secured
such a lot at that price then he would sell
| one Of the bids at half point advance.
However, nothing was done and the fig
ures for the stock remained about the same
as were recorded yesterday.

woman's Relentless War on Man.

Possibly the next work which women
may tae up will be that OF the chauffeur.
Women make better drivers than men.
They learn more quickly and they drive
more carefully though at the same time
It must be confessed that they are more
fearless than men and consequently more
liable to run risks.
A woman chauffeur would make q much
more suitable companion for ladies motor
Ing than a man. but. of course, she would
have her drawbacks. and in cases Of acci-
dent she might not be SO fluent as the male
chauffeur. who usually speaks forcibly on
such occasions.
