NEW YORK, November 12.-Old-time
Tammany politicians said today that the
split in the organization is rapidly growing
to serious proportions There is no longer
any concealment of the fact that a fight
is on to GUST Charles F. Murphy from the
leadership. 1t is also known that Mr.. Muir.
ply is SO confident of retaining his leader
ship and becoming state leader of the party
as we'll. that he will probably attempt to put
out of the executive committee at the re-
organization in December every district
leader who Is openly opposed TO him.
The friends Of Richard Croker IN the or.
ganization, 1t was made known today, will
take sides openly with Mayor Mcclellan in
the fight against Murphy. Mr.. Croker. 10
is known. is taking lively interest in tho
situation and Is kept posted on every move
made. He feels very bitter toward Murphy
because of certain actions OF the present
leader during the last two years. One Of
Mr. Cookers friends said today:
Croker is a man who never forgets and
rarely forgives when he feels that he has
been wronged. There are two men in this
city whom Mr.. Croker will never forget or
forgive They are Ex-Sheriff James O'Br1en
and Bourke Cochran. O'Brien was the prin-
cipal witness against Croker when he was
tried for murder Cochran turned against
croker and said many harsh things about
him because the then Tammany leader
would not send him to the United States
Senate.
Croker Used Strong Terms.
Murphy has taken UP both O. Brien and
Cochran. He has made the latter grand
sachem of the Tammany Society, as well as
chief spokesman for the organization, and
has sent him back to congress. O. Brien "a
now warm favorite In the wigwam, and
during the recent campaign he was daily
visitor at democratic headquarters.
II happen to know that Mr.. Croker has
recently expressed himself IN pretty strong
language to some OF his friends from this
city who visited him at his home He re-
CARDS the action of Murphy in putting
O'Brien and Cochran to the front in Tam
many as personal affront and insult It
need not surprise any one If Croker should
shortly return to this city and take per-
sonal charge Of the fight against Murphy
Maurice Featherson. who is mentioned
as the probable successor OF Murphy as
leader, was political protege of Croker
He was one of Cookers favorite district
leaders. and from the big chief Featherson
learned to keep silence in politics. There
Is no doubt but what he has the moral
support of Mr.. Croker and all of the lat
ter's friends in the present contest"

EVANSVILLE. Ind, November IA. c.
Holloway. a locomotive fireman on the L.

hero by his brother trainmen.
Last evening at Swebrel. KY. at the risk
of his own life, and with the heavy freight
train clipping off forty miles an hour or
better, Holloway scudded out along the
running board, slid down the pilot of the
engine and lifted from the path of the
laundering locomotive baby girl not more
than three years old.
With the engine then shuddering and jar
ring from a full reverse the fireman main
tanned his hold on the pilot and his grasp
upon the baby girl until the train had been
brought to full stop. The child was re-
stored to her parents few minutes later
with hardly mark to tell of her miracu-
lous escape from death save the grimy
marks left on her little white dress to show
where the fireman grasped her.

THE DIVORCE TANGLE

Hasty conclusions should not be
reached concerning the decision just
rendered by the United States supreme
court in a divorce case. Not until the
full text Of the decision has been thor
oughly digested by the ablest lawyers
will its import be fully understood by
the public.
Meantime it may be taken for granted
that the direful effect, as now assumed
hastily by many people, will not be
realized at least not to the extent APP
pretended. 1t is quite improbable, any
way that the decision will make thou
sands Of bigamists and more thousands
Of illegitimate children, extending back
for generations. There is hardly a
doubt, however. that it will end, or at
least curtail, the free-and-easy divorce
methods that have become notorious in
several states.
But the decision In question surely
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-19

will arouse public sentiment through
out the United States In favor of push
ing at once the long delayed proposition
for uniform divorce law. Only by a
vigorous stirring Of public opinion can
that desideratum be reached. If the
matter were within the purview OF
congress It might be considered during
the present session, but 1T can be man
aged by state legislation only. That
makes the question a most difficult one
to deal with because of the wide var
lance of divorce laws in the forty-five
states.
| There are no two states, in fact, which
have exactly the same divorce laws.
The causes deemed legally sufficient
to warrant a divorce range all the way
from no divorce ground whatever to
merely trivial complaints South Car
olina represents one extreme, denying
divorce for any cause. South Dakota
is at the other end of the line, with
divorce laws constructed on the plan
of the cheap clothing outfit-"Largs
enough for the largest man and small
enough for the smallest boy
1t Is hoped that the governors Of all
the states will now take up the sub
ject of a uniform American divorce
law and pave the way for its practical
accomplishment.

DEATH AND RUIN
IN AWFUL FORM
\REIGN In CITY

Death and ruin in its most awful
forms reigns in San Francisco.
The cries of the dying men, women
and children mingled with the roar Of
the flames that are razing the heart of
the city create condition that is in
describable.
Above the terrifying sound OF the
seething furnace can be heard the
agonized cries of the hundreds Of help
less victims.
All efforts to check the certain awful
death and destruction are useless. The
entire city is shrouded in darkness and
the people are crying for water.
Following the terrific shock at 5:16
o'clock yesterday morning which sealed
the fate of San Francisco, the streets
all over the city became surging mass
of people. Prayers mingled with the
curses of madmen' could be heard for
miles. No calamity in history has ever
equaled the awful catastrophe.
Into the very center of the awful
death and ruin rushed thousands Of
crazed citizens. Piercing cries for help
followed the awful roar of the huge
buildings as the latter toppled over like
house of cards.
Regardless of the fate that was des-
tined to overtake them the people ran
like stampeding cattle into the heart

House of Representatives. Washing
ington, D. c., April 12.--Editor Herald,
Los Angeles. CAL:
Dear Sir-My attention has been
called to an editorial in your issue of
April 2, 1905. You have been entirely
mishformed as to the purpose of my
bill. Instead of wanting to sell the
product of convict labor outside of the
state In which it is manufactured. my
bill proposes to limit the sale of such
goods to the state wherein they are
made.
I understand that California has be-
come the dumping ground for a large
number of classes of convict-made
goods-goods that are thrown into di-
rect competition with the products Of
free labor. 1t is to prevent this sort
of thing that I introduced my bill. of
which I inclose herewith copy for
your own information.
VIII you please do me the Justice OF
explaining the nature of my bill in
your paper? JULIUS KAHN.
