LABOR,S KICK AGAINST HEARST
Broom Makers In Montgomery County De
sorting ms standard.

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Oct. ~11.-Indignant
at what they term q n attempt to pay a por-
ton Of Hearst's campaign expenses out OF
the union funds saved to aid them In times
Of trouble, 1t Is no exaggeration to say hat
hundreds Of un.cn ncsr n Amsterdam who
last week were enthusiastically promoting
the cause Of the Independence League can
didate are to-day announcing their deser-
ton from the Hearst ranks.
This sudden disaffection has been caused
by the action Of Oliver A.. Brewer, who
combines the Office Of secretary-treas-
urer OF the International Union Of Broom
and Whisk Makers With that Of State COM
mitteeman and local boss Of the Hearst
league.
At a secret meeting of the central council
Of the affiliated unions on Thursday night
Brewer forced through q resolution appro-
priating 500 from the general fund to assist
in defraying the election expenses OF Elmer
Howard, who Is running for Member OF
Assembly on the league ticket. This, /, Is
declared, is against the bylaws OF the
central union, which forbids any par
ticipation in politics or expenditure OF
over SIS without q unanimous vote from
all the heads Of the affiliated unions.
Harrison De Gron, State president OF
NAlC II hA1tCAo CAAOhf was OdNERONOA a.
his denunciation Of Brewers action. de
said:
Il have been favorably disposed toward
Mr.. Hearst before this came up. but l want
to say that thisa attempt TO take the savings
Of the wordngmen reserved to supply
their families with bread in times Of strife
TO pay campaign expenses which should
be met out of Mr.. Hearst's own pocket
will cost him hundreds of votes in AM
sterdam. I objected to Brewers PROPOSE
ton some time g TO pay the, expenses
Of organizing the local Hearst club out
of the unions funds, but this latest at
tempt is even more outrageous. II is
against our constitution and bylaws and
you will see a revolt at the next meeting
which will force Mr.. Brewer to take his
resolution back
Even before the action of the secret
meeting leaked out the high handed ways
used by Mr.. Brewer, who claims to be
Hearst's direct representative and who
has run the local campaign while the Demo-
| cratic leaders looked on, had brought the
union men Of Amsterdam into almost open
revolt.
A canvass Of the business districts showed
all but five OF the Democratic merchants
determined to vote for Hughes. In the
mills il was the same story.

DEMOCRATS AGAINST HEARST.
Prominent Leaders In Rome Repudiate
the BunalO Ticket.

ROME, Oct. I7.-Many Democrats in this
town are opposed to Hearst and will
scratch his name. W don't consider him
a Democrat and shall not vote for him.
they say. Registration is above last years.
1t is deduced that old line Democrats will
not shirk voting but that they will cut the
head of the ticket.
OF the Democrats who will permit their
point OF view to be printed the chief are
Howard c. Virgins, who has been Recorder
and City Counsel and who ia supreme regent
Of the Royal Arcanum Of the State; John
f. Wilson, lawyer; s. VI. Stevens, once City
Counsel and president Of the Board OF Edu-
| cation and now president of the Rome
| Club. which is full Of anti-Hearst Demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Virgins said to-day: Il refuse to
support Mr.. Hearst because he does not
represent the Democratic party and is
merely masquerading under its colors.
No greater calamity could befall the party
OF Cleveland and Hill, OF Tllden n Sey-
mOur than the election Of Mr.. Hearst. His
frantic and Inconsistent campaign utter
ances illustrate the sophistry Of the dema-
gogue and not the logic OF the statesman.
He belongs to the type that would engen-
der class preiudices and hatred, create I'M
rest and gladly sacrifice the stability OF our
institutions upon the altar OF his boundless
and inordinate ambition. His election would
constitute a menace to the peace, good
order and material welfare OF the State"
The reasons ex-City Counsel s. NJ. Ste
vens gives, asa Democrat, for boiling Hearst
are:
He's a faker. Ii seems to me he has re-
pudiated his own Democratic nomination,
for he has repudiated Democrats. He fig
ures out What is likely to contribute to at
tract the greatest number of votes, then
cunningly figures on how to catch them,
He is cunning, l admit, but without prin-
oiple, being for anything and everything
that will bring a VOTE
As things stand now in this town OF fac
tories, it is probable that a change Of l5C
votes would decide the town against Hearst

1T ought TO be said that until this informa-

expressing any opinion as to the nnaI out

I regard the evidence produced to me by
the Representatives Of the American as OF
the utmost importance. believe that the
efforts Of all those representing the paper
who have been engaged in this work are
entitled to a high de gree Of credit"

been exposed. the weakness OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions powers would
not have been made known and perhaps the
railroad rate bill would not have been passed
by Congress. at this session at least.

NO ENTHUSIASM FOR HEARST.

Vote for Hughes.

Vote for Hughes.
NIAaARAFALIs,O Oct. IL-The Democratic
Mayor Of this city has followed his character
ization Of Hearst as a "blatherskite and his
declaration that he will not vote for Hearst
for Governor by fling q petition as an in
dependent candidate for reelection. TIE
Democratic organization turned Cutler
down for denomination in spite of the ac-
knowIedged fine record he had made, and
now it will be a three cornered fight locally
with two Democratic candidates and one
Republican in the field. Cutler h not
making his canvass on the direct issue OF
a bolt from Hearst, but 80 plain has he
made his position that his followers will
doubtless take the cue from him and vote
for Hughes.
Within t~wenty-four hours after he had
declared himself against Hearst, Mayor
Cutler had the 500 names necessary on
his petition as an independent candi-
date, and il In admitted even by the most
enthusiastic supporters Of Hearst that
Cutler will be a formidable rival to the
regular Democrationominee A. c. Douglass
who might have declared for Hughes II he
had not been a candidate for Mayor.
Interest here is centred almost wholly
on the local contest. There ia total absence
OF enthusiasm for Hearst among the Demo-
cratic leaders, many of whom, it is well
known, will vote for Hughes. although
they think they canno AFFORD to openly
break from their party. Talks with
many Of them to-day left no doubt that
in their opinion the Hearst boom has all
but collapsed in this corner Of the State,
where it vas confidently predicted that
he would continue TO gain strength until
election day. Careful canvasses by Re-
pubIioans in the big manufacturing plants
have revealed only slight tendency on the
part OF Republican worker to abandon
their party, n such loss as there may be
will be more than Offset, Democrats them
selves admit, by the silent Democratic
vote which will be cast for Hughes. There

FRAUD IN DIAMOND MINES.
Investors Warned by Con-
sui in Brazil


Consul General George E. Anderson in
report to the bureau of manufactures
from Rio Janeiro charges that while some
bona fide Brazilian diamond mines may
result proftably that country is full of
schemes which are either out and out
frauds or which are based upon claims
and facts so slight as to make them little
less than frauds. The report says the
United States and Great Britain, espe-
cially New York, Chicago and London,
are the chief fields of operations for
number of promoters who have never done
any mining and th>t there are number
of so-called mining companies now solicit
ing stock subscriptions in the United
States whose officers are not even certain
where the land they claim as property
lies. The president of diamond mining
company having its offices in New York
wrote the Rio Janeiro consulate asking
how far a city of Brazil, near which his
company claims property, is from a rail-
road. Diamond mining in Brazil is at
tended with great difficulties and while
the reports of mining experts indicate
that diamonds and gold are to be found
in large area there. yet the diamonds
are not found as in South Africa in GER
tain large pockets, but in small pockets
covering many thousand square miles of
territory difficult of access. The report
states that experienced men ir Brazilian
mining fields say that not single mining
company operating in the gold and dia-
mond fields of Brazil has paid dividend.
The consul general adds that it is la
r.lQnfahla foe that q larOa nronorti0n of
Brazilian mining enterprises are frauds
and that there are now men in the United
States with enterprises which represent
nothing more than the money they can
get from the American public.

CLEANLINESS PROVES FATAL.
Makes West Indian Negroes Sus-
ceptible to Pneumnia.

Perfect sanitation and cleanliness are
proving fatal to the West Indian negroes
employed ON the Panama canal. Col.
Gorgas and his assistants find that SAN
itary precautions make them especially
susceptible to pneumonia and other throat
and lung troubles. West Indians are not
accustomed TO an abundance of fresh air
and weIl-ventilated, Clearly quarters. Liv-
ing for generations in small huts where
large families crowd into rooms tightly
closed against the night air, they have
developed lungs with cramped capacity
and especially susceptible TO changes of
temperature. The West Indian laborers
cannot be induced to eat sufficient whole
some food to keep them in good health,
even when supplies are furnished at cost.
Chief Engineer Stevens and other officers
agree that lack Of lung capacity and in
sufficient nourishment, rather than lazi-
ness, are responsible for the small amount
of work done by West Indians. The
negroes are paid only so cents day,
while the white men from Spain and
Cuba get twice that amount and do more
than twice as much work.
