voters who love their party and believe in
it's mission should speak out-should re-
affirm in clear and positive form its basic
principles and announce their refusal to
surrender to any political blackmailer or
gang OF political thieves who are preparing
to buy or steal the party emblems and the
party faith"
Yet Mr.. Murphy, after his organization
had adopted, on March 10, those resolutions
Of stern opposition to Mr.. Hearst's social
istic theories" said one OF Mr.. Murphy's
old friends at the Manhattan Club last
night, declares for Hearst And Mr.. Hearst.
after d~enouncing and cartooning Mr..
Murphy and the Sullivans as political
criminals, is now soft sawdering them
kowtowing to them, as IL were!'
Mayor Mcclellan, according to the re-
turns on election night in November last,
in the minds OF political ex perts and mathe-
maticians who discussed the situation, was
elected by the independent voters OF the
city. He was elected, IL was added, because
Of his personal integrity and high indi-
vidual character, and this, too, is what tri-
umphantly reelected Mr.. Jerome District
Attorney OF the county.
Mayor Mcclellan, il was insisted, would
have gone down in defeat except for the
independent electorate, while Mr.. Jerome's
chief asset outside OF his personal char
acter was the opposition Of the bosses, Mr..
Murphy, Mr.. Odell and Mr.. Hearst.
It was predicted by well informed Tam
many men that there will be no truce be-
tween Mayor Mcclellan and Mr.. Murphy;
tina the differences between the two men
were not OF the Mayors seeking and that
IL Mr.. Murphy persists in his attitude OF
~friendliness to Mr.. Hearst, a man whom
Tammany, by Mr.. Murphy's direction, de-
nounced only in March last as a Socialist,
Mr.. Murphy's final end will not be only one
Of deplorable defeat but Of pitiable dis
grace in all Democratic circles.

NO SPLIT IN LABOR PARADE.
Catholic PrOtcctOry Boys Not TO March
n All Il Harmony.

and All Is Harmony.
The parade Of the Central Federated
Union to-day came within a narrow shave
Of being divided into two parades, owing
to the employment Of the Catholic Protec-
tory band by the unions in the Interna-
tional Brotherhood Of Transfers.
Last wear, before the Labor Day parade
started. the union musicians struck because
the Catholic Protectory boys were playin z
for one of the unions. An order was given
TO dismiss the Catholic PrOtectory band
and the parade then started, under the
impression that the order was obeyed,
though as a matter OF fact the band con-
tinued in line until the parade was over.
The Musical Protective Union decided
to keep a sharp lookout this time, and
found that the teamsters had engaged
the Catholic Protectory boys. A strike
of the musicians was then in order, but
the matter was arranged by deciding that
the teamsters, 1000 in number, would
have a parade Of their own.
This was the way the matter stood until
OF the c. F. U. Then Michael Brayer Of
the Cloth S~pongers' Union, h is to be
the grand marshal OF the parade, an
nounced that the Catholic Protectory
bows would not be in line, and that the
parade promises to be the biggest Of the
kind ever held by the Central Federated
Union
The parade ia to start promptly at $40
o'clock from Fifty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue, and march down to Washington
Square. After the parade disbands, a
number Of the unions will 60 to picnics

JOKE WILL COST HIM HIS LIFE
BOstwtck's Groom Played Burglar and the
Waterman shot Him.

MAMARoNECK, N. Y, Sept. 2.-Asthe result
Of a joke Patrick O'Brien, a groom at the
country place OF Albert c. Bostwick, is
dying OF three bullet wounds which he
received at an early hour this morning.
The groom and a couple OF other men, who
had been drinking thought it wcaId be a
fine joke to pretend they we're burglars
and bind and gag Mr.. Bos,wick's Italian
Waterman, whose name is ava Stano.
So they sprang upon him and o~verpowered
him in the darkness near the lodge gate.
They had the Waterman down on the ground
and were trying to force a handkerchief
down his throat when he suddenly drew
his revolver and fired several shots.
The shots not only wounded OBrien
but also struck another Of the jokers and
passed through his arm.
A policeman arrested the Italian and
kept him in custody until Coroner Van
Patten arrived in an automobile and had
him sent to the county Jail. In the mean
while one Of the Bost wick racing autos
was set in motion and took the groom to
the New Rochelle Hospital. Mr.. Bostwick
has given instructions to use every means
possible to try to ave his life, but Mr..
CoddinE said tonight that the tullets had
cut through his lung ard intestines and
that he could not be saved.

WARRINGTON, Sept. Gov. Ides Of the

Of the War Department tina the Philippine
Commission on August 81 passed an act
abolishinR all tonnage and navigation
duties in the islands. The measure became
effective on Saturday. Heretofore the
tonnage duties in the islands have been
regulated by a section Of the Philippine
tariff act which provided for a tax Of six
oents per ton on the entry OF a vessel from

occdinc 80 cents per net ton per annum.
The tariff act, however, authorized the

Ths International policyholders' COM
mittee has in its possession an afidavit
made by a resident Of Jacksonville, Fla,
setting forth that an agent Of the New
York Life Insurance Company has solicited
him to sign a proxy, to be dated by the
aren't after October IS, the earliest date on
which a proxy, under the new laws, may
be executed.
The International committee officers wrote
to Superintendent Of Insurance Otto Kel-
sey some time ago, informing him that
New York Lie agents we're collecting
proxies for use in the coming election in
this a The superintendent referred
the letter to the New York Life and the
officers CT that company denied that any
such thing = being done. Now @. Il.
Scrughem, organization manage OF the
p~olicyholders' committee, has sent this
letter to Mr.. Kelsey:
DEAR SIN: We are again compelled 10
call your attention to the fact tina. the agents
OF the New York Life Insurance Company
are c~anvassing the policyholders throughout
the country and attempting TO secure their
signatures to a blank dated proxy on a printed
form.N these proxies running to Horace II,
Lurton OF Nashville. Tenn. Alba q. r. John
son of Philadelphia and Roland g.. Hazard
of Peacedale. r. I. The particular field OF
activity OF these agents seems TO he in the
South and West, IA the major portion Of our
complaints are being received from those
quarters,
Hon. William s. Jennings of Jacksonville.
Fla, who is in New York city as a proxy for
Gov. Droward attending the meetings OF the
nterna ional policyholders' committee. makes
anldavit to the fact that he was recently
approached by the agent Of the New York
Life Insurance Company at Jacksonville,
Fla. and there was presented to him for his
signature a blank form OF proxy to be voted
at the coming election containing the names
OF the above proxy committee on the admin
istration ticket Of the New York Life Insur
ance Company. which ne was asked to sign
and leave the date blank. This he refused
TO do.
The forms presented by these agents ia
the policyholders are printed alike and seem
TO emanate from some central source.
This Is wilful evasion Of the recently enacted
laws and we insist that these agents be pro-
hibited from canvassinG for proxies before
the date on which proxies can be legally
signed, October lS. 1909.
We understand that there is a bylaw oi
the New York life Insurance Company which
prohibits agents from soliciting proxies
which IL also being disregarded.
IL now becomes perfectly apparent to ne
that the object the insurance companies had
in fling a list Of policyholders which con-
tanned so many THOUSAND incorrect names
and addresses was for the purpose Of pre-
venting communicated with polio yholders
until such time as the agents could solicit
signatures to blank forms Of proxies running
to the administrator ticket"

lCANNON,S PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.

OF Columbia Club.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The Uncle Joe
Cannon Presidential boom has passed the
scrutiny Of the Civil Service Commission.
When the Cannon Club had been fairly or
gained and was under way it occurred to
Of the Government clerks who had
participate in the organization that their
action might come within tire pale OF per
nicious activity" Two designations from
the list OF officers were turned in, accom-
panied by explanations that it was feared
the Civil Service Commission might take
cognizance Of the acts Of the Government
clerks in starting a political movement.
Yet representatives Of the Cannon Club
called on the commission and asked for a
ruling on the hypothetical case. The COM
mission assured the visitors that so long as
the Uncle Joe club refrained from levying
political assessments IL could continue to
do a legitimate boom business in the Dis
trict OF Columbia. where everybody talks.
bat nobody votes.
The Uncle Joe buttons. bearing the le-
gend you, Mr.. Speaker, will be the next
President" we're received yesterday, but 1t
was discovered that the features OF Illinois's
faN or.te son as portrayed by the button
artist make him appear like a boy orator OF
40 plus the familiar classic whlskers: Inc
Cannon boom has nothing to conceal from
the public, not even the age OF its candi-
rate. The buttons were therefore returned
% the manufacturer with instructions to
amend the features Of Uncle Joe so that
they would be more suggestive OF MS years
and experience. The design is very neat.
The button proper Is o as large as a
silver dollar and carries a streamer OF red,
white ana blue that makes it altogether a
very attractive campaign souvenir.

Special CaoTs Despatch 20 THE SUN.
PARIS, Sept. 2.-To-day the law providing
for a weekly day Of rest went into effect in
France. 1t made no difference in the aspect
OF this city. Most Of the stores which are
usually open on Sunday were open to-day.
The restaurants and hotels we're also open
as usual. Vendors tried to sell copies Of
the, law in some Of the busiest streets. but
there were few buyers. In some quarters
where the stores were closed the employees
gathered and demanded pay for the day.
When this was not forthcoming they re-
viled their employers, but there was no
trouble.
Five hundred bakers vent on strike at
Rouen, demanding a day Of rest with pay.
The police were called out and a com
missary was struck in a brawl.
The real test of the law will probably
come five weeks hence, as the regulations
under the new law permit OF that muCh
delay by various means.

party is controlled by the trusts anii corpora

Il have reached the conclusion that the

has been steadily borne in upon me for a long
time, as l came closer and closer to q knowl-

SAN Francisco. Sept. 7.-Six hundred
strike breakers arrived to-day over the
Southern route and were distributed to
different car barns of the United Railroads,
where they will be fed and lodged.
Late last evening the Carmen's Union
gave the Geary and California street cable
roads three days Of grace to decide whether
they will pay the full scale demanded or
have their men called out. SO these roads
are still running, but they afford little help

Meanwhile autos, carriages and express
wagons are doing a thriving business and
Market street and other main streets are
lined with pedestrians. The city author-

OLDEST ORGAN IN EXISTENCE.

Winchester, N. r., Has Ancient Mu-
sieai instrument.
The Oldest pipe organ in existence
In this country. and the third one to
make its appearance in America, Is To-
Gated in Winchester. N. H.
The instrument was quilt by Henry
Pratt, a native OF Winchester. who.
like his father, was a carpenter by
trade.
1t CHANGED that In the year 1888. at
10 years of age. he went with his
father to assist in building a church in
Hudson. N. Y. While there he OBJ
tanned draft Of Al organ in that To-
cality. which had been brought over
from England.
This draft Pratt took home with him
and showed 1t to one OF the most
prominent of Winchester's citizens.
Capt. Smith. The captain at once
evinced intense interest, and made
the following proposition to Pratt:
II you will build the organ. / will
give you bushel of rye per day while
you are building 1t. and IL you succeed
In making an acceptable instrument,
will pay you $500 additional"
Pratt began work Immediately, and
one year later, in the summer OF 1889.
he finished the organ. After due con-
sideration 1t was pronounced a sue
cess. and was accepted and paid for
by Capt. Smith, who at once presented
1t to the citizens of Winchester.
It was first used by the Congrega-
tional society. the only denomination
In town holding service at that time
For about sixty years 1t was in con-
slant use by either the Congregation
alists or the Universalists.
The organ has FIVE stops, namely,
principal, stop diapason, open diapa.

pipes are constructed of old growth
pine, of which there used to be large
quantities In the region of Winches-

The keys were formerly of mahog-

In the center Of the natural keys were

Thousand.Year Radium Clock.

The radium clock described some
months ago by the Hon. r. j. Strut is
now manufactured by London chem
ist. 1t consists essentially of small
glass tube in which twelfth of grain
of radium is supported by a rod of
quartz in an exhausted glass vessel,
the lower end of the tube containing
an electroscope of two aluminium films.
Treatment with phosphoric acid rem
ders the surface of the glass conduc-
tive. The positive charge received
from the radium expands the leaves of
the electroscope until they touch the
sides of the tube, when they are dis
charged to earth and the leaves fall to-
gether. This is repeated at intervals
Of one minute, the estimate being that
action will continue several thousand
years.
