Effect on Hearst.
Murphy Very Cheerful.

Boss Murphy, at Tammany Hall, was in
a cheerful mood today. With the blandest
face imaginable he expressed surprise that
Croker should have sent his cablegram
Croker had always been an advocate of
regularity" and all that kind of thing. He
really couldn't understand how Croker
could have said those rude things about
Tammany.
Boss Murphy contended that neither Gro
ker's nor Roosevelt's efforts could have any
effect.
The peoples minds are made up de-
clared Murphy, land cannot be changed"
Pushed for more definite expression, well.
perhaps Croker's cablegram may affect a
few voters. U-m-m."
Some of the Hearst people are furious,
and say that Tammany fixed up a job
with Croker to issue that statement. They
charge that Cookers holdings in stocks
would be threatened by Hearst's election,

but they will not be allowed to handle any
portion of his vast property.
He was very kind-hearted old man and
absolutely honest and upright.

Conference of Hearstites.


1t was understood last night that there
would have to be conference today of the
brainy men who are directing the Hearst
campaign before opening up the line of re-
tort.
Now for the Croker interview, supple
menting his cablegram to McCarren. That
is what will do business in New York. 1t
is license to Tammany to knife Hearst and
really admonition to that effect, much to
the delight of Tammany chieftains, great
and small 1t Is what Murphy could not
say. although appealed to on al sides, but
what Murphy is secretly glad to have said
for him.
Every Tammany politician agreed yester
day that the brief cablegram to McCarren
would be taken by the rank and file of
Tammany as a 'hunch," and today they
are saying that in his elaborated interview
Croker is reaching out for the laboring men
outside of Tammany's organization and
that he ought to be able to swing some of
them.
Ii will be a day or two before the full
effect of the Croker manifesto is felt, but
it is being circulated today as fast as print
ing presses can turn of the material. 1t
will be passed around through the safe,
sure ana secret channels that Tammany
possesses for disseminating desirable in
formation and the boys viii get their in
s:-uctions.
Roots Speech Anticipated.
The republican state committee had an
ticipated Secretary Roots speech. and was
in readiness to take advantage of 1t. Sixty
thousand copies of the special circular
were prepared and shipped upstate. where
they were posted on the street corners
this morning. greeting the voters as they
went to their work. Ten thousand copies
were posted in each of the cities of Buff

tady and Albany. The CIRCULAR is in size
three feet by two feet, printed in type
easily read at distance and beginning
thus:
THE Presidents message to Workingmen."
Secretary Root. in his speech at Utica.
November l. 1895 made the following au-
thor tative statement of the President s
view of Mr. Hearst:
Workingmen do you believe in Presi-
dent Roosevelt? Do you agree with his
policy in pursuing and preventing cor
porate wrongdo!ng? Do you wish that he
may be able to continue that policy with
power and success?
IF you do then help him by your
votes.
I say to you. with the Presidents au-
thority, that he greatly desires the election
of Mr.. Hughes as governor of the state of
New York
Il say to you. with the Presidents au-
thority, that he regards Mr.. Hearst as
wholly unfit to be governor. as an insincare,
self-seeking demagogue. who is trying 20
deceive the wCrkLsmen of New York by
false statements and false promises.
sly to You. with the Presidents au-
thority. that he considers that Mr.. Hearst
election would be an injury and q d.scredft
alike to honest labor and to honest capital.
and serious Injury to the work in which
he is engaged of enforcing just and equal
laws against corporate wrongdoing.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Hearst
stand as far as the poles asunder.'
The circular then quotes what Secretary
Root said about Hearst and Mckinley.
Half million copies are being struck off,
to be posted in Brooklyn and Manhattan
before nightfall.
Politicians of al shades of feeling are
eagerly canvassing the probable effect of
Secretary Roots utterances. The republican
managers, of course, are jubilant and be-
lfeve that 1t will be beneficial 1t Is too
early to get expressions from the rank and
file and 1t will be twenty-four hours before
the sentiment crystallizes.
Effect on Hearst
prominent man in the Hearst councils
gave this opinion this morning:
AT first blush l was afraid the Root
speech would hurt US severely. 1t would
have hurt us if he had confined himself to
using the Presidents name to denounce
Hearst as 'demagogue.' dangerous and
vicious man, and the like; but when he
dragged Mckinley from the grave and he'd
him up as the victim of Hearst, he eXhib-
tied a spirit of rancor and virulence which
will weaken his criticism of Hearst in the
other directions l believe the speech will
be reactionary and in the end will make
votes for u.s.

Special From STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK, November with over
whelming crash two blows have fallen upon
which can hardly be estimated now
Cookers interview and Roosevelt's denun-
citation have almost paralyzed the Hearst
outfit. OF the two, politicians believe that
the Croker cablegram can be depended upon
10 produce quickest and most appreciate
results in the way of change of votes. That
was practical stroke, the effect of which
will be prodigious.
The politicians say that the Roosevelt de-
nunciation-for the public mind goes be-
yond Secretary Root and grasps the Roose-
welt equation-should precipitate the uncer-
tain, floating, hesitating political sentiment
that was known to be wavering between
Hearst and Hughes; swayed day to-
ward Hearst by the cartoons and rabid ed-
torials, and another way next day by judg-
ment and environment. 1t is confidently
believed that among the masses who rolled
up that smashing vote for Roosevelt in 1904
his words spoken through Secretary Root
will exert powerful influence hostile to
Hearst.
The greatest interest is manifested in
Hearsts retort For the moment, as sta ted,
the Hearst managers were dumfounded and
COMPOUNDED. They were looking for con-
servative and polite criticism from Secre-
tary Root. perhaps in line with an address
which might be made TO the appellate
division, and had prepared for it, as l wired
day before yesterday. by being ready to nail
Secretary Root to the cross corpora
ton lawyer. Hearst's even ng paper here
anticipated the speech yesterday with an
editorial scoring Roots alleged connection
with trusts attorney.
But the Hearst managers apparently were
not prepared for the be-whsl1ered, hairy
chested, Manifested, hobnailed- booted at
tack that assailed Hearst. They had not a
word to say last night. although they had
advance proof of the Utica speech. The
morning edition of Hearsts journals did
not have one word of reply to Roosevelt s
criticism of Hearst, but only came back
with more abuse for the opponents counsel,
not once referring to the merits of the

WOODLAND COL0R|NG'
LOOK CLOSELY AND BEAUTY
 WILL GLADDEN. THE EYE.
Even the Winter Woods Arc Vivid and Give Delightful Contrast Must Not Force Natures
 Hand

The wood Is quiet; slight rustlings
 among the undergrowth and occasion
 al quick bird-calls alone break the
 silence. It is late winter, and in the
 still air and warm sunshine trees stand as if expectant. waiting for the spring. At first, as we enter, all seems bare and gray; the trees are
 leafless and the grass is brown. Yet
 let us wait and watch; the grayness is but seeming, and under the touch of sunrays a hundred unexpected glories spring into sight. The sun strikes upon gaunt tree trunks of oak and beech, and behold they are no longer gray, but green a soft, distinct green of moss or lichen or mold, which clothes them even to the smaller branches, and which, were the trees in full leaf, would assuredly be hidden or pass unnoticed.
 Against this soft background stands a clump of young Spanish chestnuts, each branch and twig deep red- brown, yet, where the sunlight falls, touched with bluish tinge. Cleaning in splendid contrast to this somber richness are those few leaves of golden brown which still hang in dejected clusters from the branches. On either side of the woodland path touches of vivid color appear-a wild rose bush with its few remaining berries glow ing orange red, a patch of green moss, of golden or gray white lichen, shin- ing from among dead grass. Some bramble leaves against the light have turned deep crimson, while others are green and green and brown, as if no hand of winter had touched them; yet, elsewhere, the dark earth, sod- den with heavy rains, the glittering hoar-frost still lingering in shady places on leaf and twig, give evidence that the hand has been no light one
 All around stretches carpet of magic colors, fallen leaves, golden or dull brown, or, yet again, glowing like furnished copper or tinged with dark purplish hue. Among the oaks are sundry frs, their shape, boldly de- fined, and the dark greenness of their needle clusters increased by contrast with their surroundings. Over the tree stumps and amid the moss and leaves the hardy ivy wanders-that

, "What is that following us?" asked Bucks.
 "It's the fast mail" said Halkett Guilford turned livid and caught at the hand-rail.
 "S-s-say- are you sure of that" he gasped.
 "Of course: it was an hour and 35 minutes late and we are on its time."
 'Then we can't stop unless some- body throws us on siding!" quavered the receiver, who had small spirit in a large body. ''I told M'Tosh to give the mail orders to make up her lost time or I'd fire the engineer-tol him to cut out all the stops this side of Agua Caliente!"
 That's what you get for your infer nal meddling!" snapped Halkett. In catastrophe moments many barriers go down; difference to superior officers among the earliest.
 But the master spirit of the juntc was still cool and collected.
 ''This is no time to quarrel" he said. 'The thing to be done is to stop this train without getting ourselves ripped open by that fellow behind the headlight yonder. The stop-signals prove that Hawk and the others are doing their best, but we must do ours. What do you say. Halkett?''
 There is only one thing" replied the superintendent; we've got to make the Irishman run ahead fast enough and far enough to give US room to stop or take siding"
 The governor planned 1t in few curt sentences. Was there a weapon to be had? Danforth, the private sec retary, reused from his nap in the wicker chair, was able to produce a serviceable revolver. Two minutes later, the sleep still tingling in his nerves to augment another tingling less pleasurable, the secretary had spanned the terrible gap separating the car from the engine and was making his way over the coal, futtering his handkerchief in token of his peaceful intentions.
 He was charged with a message to Callahan, mandatory in it's first form, and bribe-promising in its second; and he was covered from the forward vestibule of the private car by re- volver in the hands of resolute and determined state executive.
 ''One of them's comin' ahead over the coal" warned James Shovel; and Callahan found his hammer.
 Run ahead an take a siding, is ut?" he shouted, glaring down on the mes- senger. q have me ardhers firm bet ther men than thim that sint you. Go back an tell thim so."

 Danforth went painfully and care fully back with this defiance, and while he was bridging the nerve-try- ing gap. another station with the stop board down and red lights frantically swinging was passed with a roar and a whistle shriek.
 "Fwhat are they doing now?" called Callahan to his fireman.
 They've gone inside again." was the reply.

small variety, the leaves of which are red and brown, with yellow veinings; while the larger kind, rampant among the higher branches, forms masses of glossy green, from which the sum- light is reflected with a clear white ness.
 At the edge of the wood stand some graceful silver birches, warm with color, their bare, slender branches rus set and purple, their slim trunks white and gleaming. Near by are some leathery larches, pale and dead, as if no warmth of spring could bring forth again one touch of green. A wondrous contrast! We turn to look again, and, as we leave the woods behind, note afresh the softness of the winter sky, blue without the depth of summer heaven; white clouds here, and there a grayer mass betokening coming rain, and, traced against the bright ness, the clear-cut outline of each branch of bush and tree.
 We have watched and waited; has our patience been in vain, or has nature raised the veil before our eyes and shown herself in grave, sweet mood, with garb of richness? Is not the very depth and conferences of this woodland coloring full of a quality which, because 1t must be sought for. satisfies; or must we wait till spring colors. by their very insistence. arrest our attention, or till the glory of sum- mer is everywhere present. Nay, rather let us watch again, for if we cannot by our patience force natures hand, the veil win ever hang between her face and ours, and we shall lack for ever the power to see beyond.

POLICE-LAWYER COMBINE.
Combination for Collection of Graft in
New York Cour-s.

NEW YORK. November 24.-When Police
Commissioner Bingham cleaned out the en-
tire police squad of the West Side court
last week it became known that 1t was be-
cause the police there had formed an alli-
ance with a political faction and were in
the habit of steering certain lawyers upon
prisoners with the supposed ioea of divid-
ing the fees. A few days later it came out
in a case before Magistrate Cornell that
a policeman in a station house had slipped
the cards of two lawyers to a prisoner and
had assured him that either one had suf-
fcieut influence to secure a discharge for
$50.
The police court lawyers have thrived In
the last three or four years as they never
have before. The increase In the number Of
police cases does not tally proportionately
with the prosperity OF these attorneys.
Five or six years ago there were nalf a
dozen lawyers in and around each police
court of Importance, all making only a fair
living. Now there are ten or telve and
some of them make as much as $4,000 a
year. system has been in vogue In re-
cent years whereby these lawyers have in
creased in numbers and In profits. and the
key to the system has been cooperation
with the police.
come to him. The police court lawyers used
to do that very thing, but such antiquated
methods nowadays would result In starva-
ton. The day of the deal has arrived. The
system requires new methods, and the DO
lice court lawyers almost to a man bow
to the rules. These rules require that the
fee for defending a prisoner must be di-
vided with the policeman who GEES that the
proper lawyer gets a case. Fishing for
clients In police courts Is now reduced al
most to an exact science. The basic princi-
pie Is that every person who is unfortu-
nate enough to have money and get in
trouble In the police court must be made to
disgorge. The lawyers throw out their
lines. The police watch the lines, and when
they get bite and hook fish the lawyer
Is sent for to pull up the hook and set the
fish free.
