CRITICISES McCARREN
HEARST'S SHARP COMMENT OVER
KINGS COUNTY ISSUE.

CHATHAM. N. T.. October 5.-william
R. Hearst. democratic and independence

tention directed today to a published state
ment by P. H. McCarren. democratic or
ganfzation leader Of Brooklyn. that II Mr..
Hearst persists in having independence
league candidates nominated In Kings coun-
ty there win be plurality Of 5000 against
him In Brooklyn.
The question OF whether Brooklyn goes
$4,000 one way or the other is for the citi-
Gems of Brooklyn to decide and not for Mr..
McCarren to decide said Mr.. Hearst. Il
have the utmost consideration for the
wishes Of the citizens Of Brooklyn. and
none whatever for the wishes of Mr.. Nc
Carren In placing an Independent ticket In
the field in Brooklyn We are doing what We
beieve to be for the best interests OF the
citizens Of Brooklyn. Mr.. McCarren by call
ing himself a democrat does not make him
self democrat. II he should call himself
an honest man 1t would not make him an
honest man. II he should cali his ticket q
good ticket 1t would not make 1t good
ticket. AZ q matter of actual fact the NC
Carren ticket Is VIGOROUSLY UNFIT, ana
should not command the support of honest
democrats or hottest independents.

crat not q corporation democrat, and 1
cannot allow a hired agent of the cor
porations like McCarren to define my oe-
mocracy or dictate unworthy candidates ZOE

Action Of Board Of Trade Directors

According to statements made by direc.
tors Of the Board of Trade there is consid.
cradle misunderstanding of the action OF
the directors at their recent meeting. A
special committee of three had, these direc.
tors say. been appointed to confer with cor.
responding committees of the Business
Mems Association and of the Shippers and
Jobbers Association. and to report back to
the board of directors recommendations
concerning a Washington exhibit at the
jamestown exposition and the proposed
400 900 club
exposition and the 100000 club. and added,
outside of the matters intrusted to It, the
suggestion of consolidation of the Board
of Trade. the Business Mems Association
and the Shippers and Jobbers Associat ton.
Concerning the exposition and the 400, 900
club the views of the boards committee
substantially prevailed with the directors.
The proposed exhibit at jamestown was
approved, and arrangements were made for
promoting 1t at special meeting of the
full Board of Trade. which will be held to-
night.
The feeling concerning the proposed 400
600 club. which all the directors held was
that the question of going ahead and pro-
noting 1t was one that should be left en-
tirely to the individual judgment OF mem
bers Of the Board Of Trade. and that it was
inexpedient for the board of directors, as
such. to participate in the organization.
Concerning the suggested consolidation of
three existing organizations. including the
Board of Trade, 1t was considered that
the matter could not be brought properly
in this way before the directors, the com
mittee's powers not covering it; that
1t involved as necessary preliminary
that the Board of Trade cease to exo: !,
a proposition which the directors them
selves had no power to act upon and no dis
position to suggest to the Board of Trade.
1t was thought that If a majority Of the
Board Of Trade ever determined that their
present organization deserved to die they

Italians stormed the school building in a

Before the riot had been quelled several

For several days physicians of the board

lection of the eyes had spread from the
homes of the Italians in the vicinity of the
school. and the doctors were directed to
make an investigation to learn the cause
and to eXtermnate the disease. Many of
the pupils. upon going to their homes told
their parents that the murder Doctors

Today they decided to make investiga-

warned of the approaching trouble, locked
the doors and windows OF the building and
sent call for assistance to nearby police
station. Before the police had arrived the
women rushed toward the main entrance of
the school building. and finding the way
barred against them. made frantic and de-
termined efforts to batter down the door,
One panel had been smashed when the
vanguard of the police squad appeared
upon the scene and sought to put a sudden
end to the trouble. The women turned upon
the policemen. tore their clothes, scratched
their faces and put them to rout before a

REZANOV

Mastery presentation of
the marvellous career and i'm
mortal love story of the hero,
Rezanov. by Gertrude Ather-
ton, to begin in tomorrow's
; big paper, and will be contin-
ued in The Saturday and Sum
day editions throughout Octo-
Der. -
The average fairly educated
man would probably be forced
to probe the farthest .reeesses
of memory before finding, him
self able to answer the histori-
cal question, WHO IS Reza-.
now"
Yet, but for a train of I'M
foreseen circumstances the
name of 'Rezanov" would be
as familiar to the American
school boy of today as that of
Peter the Great or even Ma
poleon Bonaparte. His name,
a century ago, carried far more
significance along the Califor-
MIA coast and amid the bleak
stretches of Alaska than did
that of either of those better
remembered heroes.
Be sure to read this great
new story.
