THE WEEKS TALK
 IN NEW YORK CITY Mcclellan Gives Up Hope of the
 White House HEARST WILL RUN AGAIN But VIII Try for Governor First. odell Is Political corpse-De-
 pew a Real Senator at
 Seventy-two.
HEARST WILL RUN AGAIN
BY sEwELL HAecARD.

New York, January S.-(Special) )-The feature of the weeks news in New York was the beginning of Mayor Mcclellan's second term and his new appointments The mayor has fulfilled to the letter in his appointments his ante-election prom ise that he proposed to be mayor of all the people and that he was to be no mans man. He has picked out good clean men to do the eity's work. men who have received the almost unanimous approval of the press and public men generally. The only dissenters are Will Ham Randolph Hearst and William M. Wins the two defeated candidates for mayor.
 Some of the mayors appointees are Tammany men, but they are capable and honest. The others were selected for their efficiency and high standing with the public
 To the post of police commissioner, the hardest job to fill in the city govern ment, he has called Gen. Theodore A. Bingham the former majordomo of the White House. but who despite this train ing is something of a rough and ready picturesque character. Be on the level, jump into the job and do your best" is General Bingham's motto, and New York believes he will succeed in giving the city a clean government.
 Mir. Mcclellan realizes fully that since he has cut loose from Tammahy Hall the plans to make him the democratic nomi- nee for President of the United States are well nigh impossible of fulfillment and in his speech to the board of alder men he declared that within all human probability he would never hold another public office.
 The scheme of C. Francis Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall, was to elect Mcclellan governor of the state, so that he would be the logical democratic can ddate for President. Since Mcclellan has practically parted company with Tam many politicians argue that he could not be elected governor. No democrat has ever been elected without Tammany's support These politicians also contend that the democratic convention will nom mate no man who is unable to carry New York. because without this state the election of a democratic President is most improbable
 Others take the view that Mcclellan by his independent course as mayor of New York has made himself stronger throughout the country. and that he is more than ever likely candidate for President.
 Undoubtedly the mayoralty campaign os w R. Hearst was but forerunner of his candidacy for governor Should be be elected governor he reasons that the next national democratic convention cannot ignore his claims to the presiden- tial nomination. Hearst's race for mayor was made soely to further his higher ambitions and to try to rid the field of his most dangerous competitors for the White House, Mayor Mcclellan. Hearst now contends that he Is a bigger man than if he had been elected mayor, be- cause many persons believed that he was defrauded out of the office. Hence he is so confident that he can be elected governor, the stepping stone to the Presl- dency.

OdeII Buried.

Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., made his last desperate stand to regain the state lead ership in the selection of speaker for the assembly this week He was beaten, overwhelmingly beaten, and his name erased from the political map of New York. These are bad days for bosses. but Odell has the satisfaction of knowing that some day the men who have sue ceeded him will meet his fate. All bosses are thrown out sooner or later.
 Odell came out of the obseurity of the ice and grocery business in Newburg some fourteen years ago as member of the republican state committee He soon won the entire confidence of Sena- tor Platt. the state leader He presented new ideas and plans of campaigns. and most of them proving good. he was soon made chairman of the executive commit tee at the request of Senator Platt He was then sent to Congress, where he served two terms without distinction good or bad. except that he was known as good fellow"
 When the late Charles w Hackett who had been chairman of the state committee for number of years, died. Odel succeeded to the office without op- position. He was the personal choice of Senator Piatt
 cal candidate for governor. and Platt and Odell supported his nomination. In 1900 they succeeded in sidetracking Roosevelt to the candidacy for Vice President, and Odell was nominated for governor with out opposition. When elected he contin- tinued for a time to be good fellow But long before the end of his first term Odell was borrowing in all directions se- cretly undermining Senator Platt and his

controls character An interesting re- port embodying conclusions drawn from the thousands of cases of boys and girls arraigned for misconduct has just been submitted by E. Fellows Jenkins. the chief probation officer of the court. He says:
 Removing a boy or girl from improper environment Is the first step in his or he reclamation The theory that hered- ity has it's influences has not yet been entirely exploded. but that heredity con trols character Is no longer believed to be a fact Perhaps the best proof of the contention that environment has the strongest influence on the development of character is found in the records of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which during thirty years has investigated cases in xolVing the social and moral welfare Of over half a million children Instances of this fact are of every day occurrence.
 ..No less than in the permanent re- moval of children from improper guar dians and their being placed in the con trol of individuals and institutions is the force for good found in their being placed by any court of competent jurisdiction on parole. In three years 33T children arrested for various crimes and convicted at our children's court have been so re- leased in the custody of their parents and guardians. The results have been by no means discouraging. even though they show that 168 per cent of such children have been arrested for recurrent misbe- havior and committed to institutions.
 ssThe more important fact is that S3.2 per cent have profited by the privilege of parole and have not later become wards of the court or prisoners of the police for any cause whatever"

tor, however, intends to continue as chairman of the board of the Vanderbilt lines, which is purely an honorary post
 Why should I retire from the Senate?" MT. Depew asks in response to public clamor. It will be recalled that the Sem ator could not see why he should give up his s25,000 a year retainer from the Equitable Life Assurance society until Paul Morton began his campaign of re- form in the organization. As to this point the Evening Sun says
 ''rhe people demand that MT. Depew resign the senatorship because of the scandal caused by his peculiar relations with the insurance company. They think he stands revealed as man unfit to rep resent the great state of New York as one of its senators at Washington. They have suspicion that if he never earned his salary as counsel to the insurance company he did not do his work con scientiously as Senator, although he never failed to draw compensation for it. in- cluding mileage.
 There's the best of reasons for believ- ing that this suspicion is well founded, and MT. Depew furnishes it himself. He says he will resign his seventy-nine di- rectorshps on April 23, his seventy-sec- ond birthday because "I intend now" he explains. "to do my real work in the Senate" That's what he was sent to Washington to debut then there were the seventy-nine directorships to attend to and the salaries to be raised and the salary to draw in the Equitable"

Opera Without a Chorus.

New York had taste of opera without chorus this week owing to a strike of Herr Conried's lesser singers. The opera was Faust" and the audience seemed to enjoy it sans chorus snoring oboe sang the chorus of women harvesters. Four French horns clustered appropri- ately through the French chorus of men. 1T you shut your eyes and stuffed your ears full of cotton you could hardly tell the difference Necessity may prove the mother of invention. Who knows but that in time an instrument may be as- signed to each vocal part. so that when strikes occur all will be well. The bas- soon and the kettledrum will be fixed symbols. Chorus of Old Men" Chorus of Soldiers" so that the audience will understand, just as in the Eliza bethan drama when placard of London Town" was hung up.
 The singers of the Metropolitan opera chorus are now members of local No IA. Representatives of the union have pre- sented demands for an increase of salary from slo to $25 a week, for better accom- modation on the road. and for other im- provements in their previous condition of servitude.

Startling Doctrine.

Miss l.. Graham Crozier, southern wo- man, in a lecture the other day stirred up hornets nest among the students of sociological conditions by saying that to chloroform poor babies is charity
 q would rather personally administer chloroform to the poor starving children of this city than see them living as they must do in squalor and misery today" she said. 'I do not say this for notoriety or to call attention to myself. I have talked myself hoarse, have lectured l have written countless communications to the authorities and officials without any effect. and if no other remedy is at put an end to the miserable little lives to whom living Is only prolonged agony and utter wretchedness.
 "The dead child is returned to that nature of which it is but one manifesta- ton, and is far more preferable being than if it were breathing the breath of life under it's frightful conditions.
 "Why should those helpless little lives go on? It is only perpetuatng misery. Why should these diseased little bodies that lack food and proper warmth and nourishment suffer longer when the rem edy is at hand? The child lacking food and fuel will later lack physical health. and consequently character and moral ity.
 '.I mean what l say and can prove what I say Those who are cowardly enough to neglect these children now the officials the institutions. the civil and municipal authorities-the public are, of course too cowardly to advocate chloroforming them"

friends to build up political machine of his own. He was renominated in 1902, and after an exciting campaign, in which came the first disclosures of how he mixed politics and business in his own interest he was reelected by scant 5000 plurality
 From the day that he was inaugurated for his second term Benjamin Odell was a changed man. He became arrogant and aggressive. He ceased to burrow like a mole in politics and adopted the meth- ods of a Dooley raider, sledge hammer and axes He ruled the legislature with a rod of iron, but did not neglect his pri- vate business. The governor ceased to confer with Senator Platt and refused every request made by the man who created him in politics and public life. During the session of the legislature no man or corporation could get bill passed without the consent of Odell It was known that he was determined to make the republican party of the state his per sonal property. He continued to deceive Senator Platt until it was too late for the Senator to make a successful fight to retain his leadership
 Then .the President stepped into New York politics. and through Governor Hig- gins Odell was overthrown.

given where boats bearing this supposed ''hoodoo" have been sunk or burned. The Molly Ebert, Ollie Neville. Mary Irwin, Major Anderson burned up and the Mis- sour1 and the Ohio sank. All of these boats were known to local men and ran on the Ohio and Mississippi
 The case of the Mary Irwin also brought out another "hoodoo" of the river men. It Is believed that when the rats desert a ship there is trouble ahead. On sum mel afternoon in 1867 the Molly Irwin tied up at the Cincinnati wharf. Soon after 1t was noticed that the rats were leaving her in droves. Carpenters working about the hold of the boat amused themselves Ly throwing large pieces of wood at the rodents
 The superstitious men on board at once predicted that something was going to happen, and sure enough about the mid dle of the same night, the Mary Irwin, with six other boats, was destroyed by fire, the Major Anderson being one of them
 A cat going on board vessel Is thought bad sigh. The only way to get rid of the hoodoo is to throw the cat by It's tail from the port side of the vessel. Throwing it from the starboard side will have no effect.
 Believers in hoodoos greet with delight
