Well known money lender. about s15.000OOO will
be distributed in charitable bequests In accord
with the will of Sam" Lewis. who died in

lie, besides which she received outright $4,000 =
900, much of which presumably will go TO her
second husband. Lieutenant Hill. of the Scots
Guards Kings Hospital fund comes in for a
large sum. Besides a specific amount, $780,
900. the hospital gets about s500O.00O out of the
residue Of the estate. About s7OOO.OOO goes to
establishing dwellings for the poor, s55O000 is
devoted to the relief of the Jewish poor and
Jewish hospitals and colleges. and ss75.000 goes
10 other hospitals. while a number Of other char
titles get good legacies.
Lewis was the most famous man in England
in his prOfes SION His transactions We're enor-
nous and his clients were among the highest
personages in the land Lewis was shrewd and
hard. but absolutely honest He used TO say
that his motto Il lend TO the Lord and give
to the poor and II is now declared that his
princely bequests seem to prove the truth of his
assertion.

MIR. HUGHES SATISFIED.
Thinks He Cannot Be Beaten Unless
Republicans Are OUerconfdent.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Amsterdam, y. Y Oct. 13@"I am satisfied
that cannot be beaten, if we not over
confident" This is the opinion OF Charles E.
Hughes, Republican candidate for Governor. ex-
pressed here tonight as he finished his first up
state trip of five days. having spoken at twelve
meetings in eight different counties.
THE most significant feature of the trip" he
said. has been the cordial support personally
assured by old line Democrats 1t is evident
that there is widespread revolt on the part Of
the Democratic party in the interest of decency
and order. have not found indications Of any
serious detection from the Republican ranks and
the outlook is most encouraging.
Our audiences have been earnest and
thoughtful, and their deep attention to the dis
cussion Of the issues Of the campaign has been
most significant The people Of the state are
thinking This bodies no good to those who have
conducted a campaign of tnfammatory appeal.
IT am satisfied that we cannot be beaten If we
are not overconfdept. Disgust with the methods
which we oppose must be met by registering and
voting. We want support not merely at meet
ings. but on registration day and on Election
Day"
Mr.. Hughes has taken hold of his campaign
work with vigor that has surprised even those
who knew his capabilities. He is going back to
newed enthusiasm, inspiration and vigor, which
will be inpressively apparent in the further

THE BIG STICK" PARTY.
Democratic-League Bluff Fails to
Fool VOters IN WeStcheSter.

The Hearst leaders IN Westchester, having found
that the nomination of their candidate is turning
thousands of Democrats away from the support OF
the party have organized what they call the
big Stick party. To deceive the Republican voters
they are trying TO make it appear that President
Roosevelt is behind the movement and that the
new organization is to be composed OF independent
Republicans.
The entire ticket. which they have tndorsed, is
made UP of the Hearst nominees for Supreme
Court justices and legislative and county officers.
The headquarters of the movement is at Yonkers.
MANY who have signed the petition for the inde-
pendent nominations Italians employed the
Yonkers city works under the Democratic city ad-
mtnlstration there. Many independent voters who
are favorable to the candidacy OF the Democratic
nominees for Supreme Court justices the Hearst
Democratic ticket disgusted with this trick
Of the Hearst leaders that they will vote the entire
Republican ticket The ticket will bear the
1.enblem'' of President Roosevelt big stick So
far ali OF the sgners have been Hearst men. Not

FOR CURRENCY REFORM
PRESIDENT TO URGE 1T.
VII Ask Congress for Legislation
Giving Greater Elasticity.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. 7

Washington. Oct. 13-The President in his
annual message to Congress will again urge the
necessity Of adequate legislation designed to add
elasticity to the currency system. He will point
out that despite the fact that there is suf-
fcient volume of currency to meet all ordinary
demands. there is danger in the rigidity OF the
system, which cannot be made to respond to the
constantly changing demands Of the seasons and
of financial exigencies. He will advise Congress
that present the Secretary of the Treasury. at
frequent intervals. finds his ingenuity taxed to
the utternost to regulate the supply to the de-
mand avoiding imitation at one period and con-
traction at another whereas the expedients to
which each administration is compelled to resort
should be made unnecessary by the enactment
of proper legislation.
The President appreciates that legislation Of
so important character may require more time
than will be available at the short session. but
that will not prevent the recommendation. and
it is possible that Congress may appreciate the
necessity and respond to the executives repre-
sentations.
1t has recently been learned that some Of the
more thoughtful and influential members Of
Congress are of the opinion that further neglect
of this important subject will be fraught with
grave danger. While appreciattng the necessity
OF the steps which the Secretary of the Treasury
has taken in the interest of the commercial
prosperity of the country. they cannot regard
them with equanlmity, and they fully realize
that the responsibility rests on Congress be-
cause of its failure pass such legislation as is
obviously required.
Whether the coming session will merely see
a repetition of the fate which met the Aldrich
financial BILL or whether the Senate and House
will act together. 1t is impossible to foretell;
but it is regarded as at least a good sign that
some prominent members of Congress appear
TO be keenly alive to the necessity of some form
of comprehensive financial legislation.
I'VE are constantly walking over a financial
mine" said prominent member Of the Senate
to-day "As long all goes we'll in the busi-
ness world there may be no trouble but let
there come sudden and widespread demand for
currency and the banks would be powerless and
the Secretary of the Treasury might find him.
self unable to relieve the strain, with the re-
suit that the country, despite it's magnificent
prosperity would experience disastrous panic.
1 sincerely trust that the coming session Of
Congress will be able to place on the statutes
law which will remedy the evils which have
long existed and for which the Republican party
will be held responsible should they work
havoc

MAJOR WOODBURY. OUT.
QU4RRELS WITH MAYOR.
Resigns after Refusing to Aloso
Politics IN Department.

John McGaw Woodbury., Street Cleaning Com
missioner in a letter, in which he charges tha.
Mayor Mcclellan and Senator p H. McCarren
tried to inject politics into. his department. re-
signed his Office yesterday Mayor Mcclellan
accepted the resignation and wrote the Com
missioner a letter, saying that the Commissioner
must have misunderstood him, as he himself was
trying to keep the Street Cleaning Department
free from politics.
Commissioner Woodburys resignation was a
big surprise to the politicians, who had idea
that the relations between the Mayor and the
Commissioner were anything but cordial
Senator McCarren's insistence that Division
Superintendent Clarke be removed from the
Brooklyn district together with the Senator's
assurance to the Mayor that with the right kind
OF official at the head of the force in Brooklyn
the anti-Hearst vote could be swollen, furnished
the fundamental reasons for the break between
the Mayor and the Commissioner.
Major Woodbury.. in his letter of resignation
said:

Maintenance of my self-respect demand that I
be relieved of my responsibilities.
The Mayors letter accepting the Commits
sioners resignation follows:

creeping into the Department of Street Cleaning.
I accept your resignation.
Mayor Mcclellan gave out this statement in
explanation:
Senator McCarren informed me that the Depart
nnent of Street Cleaning in the Borough of Brook
lyn was being used for political purposes and
specified active political work the part of certain
employees in the borough. Such complaint

Hoke Smiths Mission to Europe.

HOke Smith, the new governor of
Georgia who will not enter upon the
duties of his office until next June,
proposes to improve a part of the time
between now and then by trip to
Europe in the interests of bringing
desirable immigration from Europe to
his state. He wants to reach the best
class of immigrants across the water
and turn the tide toward Georgia
rather than let it continue to flow into
the great Northern centers. So far
his scheme seems practical enough,
since everybody knows that the fields
and factories of the South are much in
need of such new blood, but in one
respect Mr.. Smiths plan seems little
visionary. He remarks that, in his
opinion, such flow of high class
migrants from Europe will result in
No doubt the wish is father of the
thought in this case, but it would be
interesting to have him explain lust
where the hundreds of thousands of
Georgia negroes are going to. Would
they simply move over the line to
some other Southern state, or would
they come bodily into the North?
They must live somewhere, and the
probability of their going back to the
home Of their ancestors in Africa is
too remote for serious consideration
though not few Southern writer's
have hoped that this might some time
come about No doubt also there are
many thousand of honest and in
dustrious negroes in the South whom
the worst negro hatcr would dislike to
see leave the state. Certainly their
place could not well be filled by any
class of new Corners from Europe.
Mr.. Smiths trip to Europe will doubt
less be a pleasant one and no doubt
he will learn a lot while abroad, but
he will hardly succeed in solving the
immigration problem or the negro
problem as easily as that.
