but scant courtesy from him. From the way he treated them is judged there will be few independen candidates in the field this fall.
 The local organzation is not putting forth any efforts to enliven the cam paiEn, and the state committee. of wnich William J. Connors of Buffalo is chairman. shows absolutely, no sign of life and the handsomely furnished headquarters in the Hotel Victoria have come to be looked upon as a joke. No Democrats call and no information about the campaign can be obtained there.
 In spite of all these drawbacks Hearst himself has been making won derful progress with the voters upstate. He practically is making d campaign alone. as all the people want to see and hear him. His various trins have disclosed that he Is strong in the fac tory towns and manufacturing centers. and many Republican workingmen who voted for Mckinley and Roosevelt are .schgoing totteoefper-. Ilthatagf rdlua going to cast their ballots for him. There are several spots in rural reg ions, too, where the Republican de- flection to Hearst Is large.
 situation Disturbs Republicans.
 Republicans have become alarmed by tue lltToduS iS lHtO tHtll territory up state, and great cry against overconfidence comes from headquarters. Even Hughes warned his followers against apathy. Then. too, there are numerous factional rights within the party throughout the state that are giving the campaign manaE- CTS something to worry about It IS noticed that many old war horses. h. cluding ex-Governor Odell, are not talk ing much interest in the campaign. It is estimated. however, that their inac- tivitY actually hill nelp Hughes. There is strong feeling on both sides against bosses in this state
 The most telling speeches Hughes makes are those exposing Hearsts own alleged connection with corporations. Hearst started the ball rolling by call ing Hughes d corporation lawyer Hugh cs retorted he was d corporation lawyer, but not in the sense Hearst implied. He produced documents to show the Hearst pdpers were run by corpora tionS. and that he hai sworn off their taxes on the ground that their lidbili- ties were greater than their assets. Hughes also declared these corpora tions were formed to avoid liability in is a holding company for the Hearst companies stock. and that the main of flee of the Star company is in the Com mercial Trust companNs building in Jersey City, the building that houses such trusts as the Standard oil Com pany, sugar trust. and beef trust.

YORK FIGHT
NExT- FEW DAYS WILL DETERMINE ss WINNER.
Problem In One Metr0pelt~--Edi.or .or's Up State Canvass Causes the Republicans Some
 Anxiety,

New York Special to Chicago Tribune.
 The campaign on both sides is now nearing the critical point and before the week is over 1t may be pretty detl- nfteiy settled who will win. Thus far the Republicans claim to have the bet ter of it. Put this does not mean that they consider W. R. Hearst for gov ernor as out of the race. Far from It.. If 1t were not for the complated sys- tenn on the Democratic side in thls city the chances are the betting would be even money instead of two to one of Hughes.
 Hearst's determination to run candi- dates for the senate and assembly and for congress in New York county has raised fresh row among leaders of various districts who consented to sup port Hearst only because they thought their local tickets would not be oppos- ed. As a result of this opposition MT Hearst would lose the borough by To- local candidates in the interest of har- mony.
 Worse situation in Brooklyn.
 The Brooklyn situation, however, seems to grow worse every day. There does not seem chance in the world Of patching up the fight between Hearst and State Senator McCarren. the Kings country Democratic leader, and all ln- dications point to war to the knife. The senator has been quoted as saving Hearst may withdraw some of their 900. Bets of even money are now be- ing made that he will lose in Kings by 10000. It is evident McCarren will leave no stone unturned to beat Hearst in that territory.
 The virtual dismissal of Dr. Wood bury, the street cleaning commisslon- CT, by Mayor Mcclellan indicates the bitterness of the row. When McCar- ren found out that empioyes of the street cleaning department ill Brooklyn were for Hearst he demanded that Su- perintendent Clark who had charge in Kings should be transferred. and that the department should be reorsanlzed in such a manner 1t snouid be against Hearst McCarren's idea was to put one of his own men Tn Clarks place and make political machine of the street cleaning department in Brook lyn which he could use against Hearst Woodbury, however baked. and now he is no longer street cleaning commis- sioner.
 Trouble In Hearst League.
 There Is trouble, too. in the Ind"- pendence league since the rank and file of the organization found it corpo- ration and that no independent nomt- nations can be made without the con- sent of the executive committee. Which is controlled absolutely by Hearst. Many of these members. relying on what Hearst said last fall about Tam many Hall and it's leader. wish to cut loose entirely from Charles F Murphy, Tammany leader. and run indcpe ndent tickets in every district. The commit tee that was sent to wait on Hearst about this phase of the campaign got

FATHER SENDS LNCORRIGLBLE
 SON TO THE COUNTY JAIL

A little tragedy was enacted in the City Court room yesterday morning when Joseph Stroud. barber resid- ine at II East Jefferson Davis Avenue, appeared before Judge W. H. Thomas and had his unruly son. Richard Stroud, i2 years old. committed to the industrial School for Boys at East Lake.
 As . last resort the father took his young son before the court. The little fellow had become uncomfortable and even the best advice of the father were ignored by the boy. Young stroud has lately been implicatd in various kinds of mischief. and the greater part of it no boyish pranks but serious of lenses. Seeing that his son was go- ing the wrong way and being unable to manage him, Mir. Stroud resolved to have the boy sent to the reforma tory.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-10-17

Young Stroud did not relish being sent away and the idea of being con fined in the county jail preparatory to being taken to East Lake was es- pecially abhorrent to him. When taken to jail after being committed by Judge Thomas. young Stroud firmly protest ed against being locked up and i, was only by coercion and force that he was finally placed in cell.
 In his order of committali Judge Thomas says that Richard Stroud. in the opinion of the court. does not att tend the public schools and is guilty of lettering on the streets in idleness. and is in danger of becoming engaged in vice and crime. He. therefore. di- recte6 the Sheriff to take the boy to the East Lake reformatory.
 The boy will be taken to East Lake this week.
