JUDGE PARKER'S POSITION.
Has No Desire to Hold the Presidency
or Any other Public Office.

PORTLAND. Sept. 2.-In an inter-
view given out last night, Judge Alton
B. Parker. of New York. declared he
has 40 desire ever again to hold public
office, and that in this respect his views
have not changed since his defeat for
the Presidency in 1904. Judge Parker
said:
IT saw in a Boston newspaper of this
morning that Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, said he had verified In New York
the fact that / am possessed of the
conviction that I shall again be nomi-
mated for the Presidency. Nevertheless
1 do not believe that he ever said SO.
In any event. he did not verify any
such fact, nor could he, for it is not
true"
II do not desire ever again to hold
public office. l stated my position on
that subject the day after election in
1904, and l ave not changed my mind.
l shall, however, always be Interested
in any question affecting the public
welfare, and l propose to express my
views whenever it seems to me desir-
able. And it may as well be under
stood that l shall not be deferred in
the slightest degree from doing so by
Misrepresentation"

TASTED TO SEE PRINCE.
swede Went Hungry in New York with
Money Order in Pocket.

NEW YORK, Sept. Am unusual
case came to the attention of the police
Sunday night, when they found Rich
ard Reynolds, a young Swedish black
smith, who came here from Watertown,
N. Y, to see Prince Wilhelm, wander
ing about the streets in a starving con-
dition, despite the fact that he had in
his possession a money order calling
for 5000.
The money order only reached Rey-
mold Sunday morning. in reply to a
request he had sent to his home for
funds. and. as 1t was Sunday, he could
not get 1t cashed. Reynolds, who had
had nothing to eat since Friday, wan
dered about until night, when, nearly
insane from hunger, he appealed to
the police. He was taken to a restau-
ant, where he ate ravenously, and will
be cared for until he can get his order
cashed and start for home.

WELLMAN'S BALLOON PLAN.
French Aeronaut Does Not Believe It Is
Safe for Arctic Exploration.

TRoMSOE, Sept. I'm. Francois, the
French aeronaut who assisted Walter
Wellman in the construction Of his
Arctic exploration balloon, interviewed
at Bergo Harbor today, said he was
invited to take part in the expedition,
but refused, as he doubted the safety
of Mr.. Wellman's plans. 1T was Mr..
Wellman's intention, he explained, to
maintain the lifting power of his gas
by air warmed by a motor and pumped
into a balloon. The motor would be
but a little over three and a half feet
from the balloons body, and there
would be the risk Of the same Kind of
an explosion as in the case of the
Brazilian airship, when the distance
was eight and three-quarter feet.

BOY DIES FROM BEATING
ON SYNAGOGUE STEPS.
Five Youngsters who Had Been Fight
ing Him Arrested on Charges
of Murder.

NEW BRUINS WICK, Sept. Cor
oner Harry C. Bishop, of Perth Amboy,
yesterday directed that a jury be
drawn and that IN inquest be held at
the Court House Tuesday afternoon on
the body of Max Chikinsky. the 11-year-
old boy who died Saturday after a
beating at the hands of five other small
boys. County Physician j. L.. Suydam,
of Jamesburg, and DR.. C. NJ. Slack, Of
this city, yesterday, performed an
autopsy and decided that death had
been caused by conclusion of the brain.
John Barlow, IL; George Holzworth,
10; Charles Harris, II; Joseph Erhart.
II. and Joseph Lout, 10, all n%eighbors
and playmates of the dead boy. are held
in jail without bail on a formal charge
of murder, which was made by Police
man Elias Delaney at the direction of
Prosecutor Berdine. The little boys do
not seem to realize their predicament.
Chikinsky had always been considered
a good fighter among the boys. and ON
various occasions had whipped the boys
who assaulted him Friday night,
the boys claim, but had tackled
them separately. Friday night he
was on his way to an even
ing service at the hlcnnnoHu street
Synagogue when the five boys. 1t is
charged, attacked him. They fought on
the synagogue stone steps. One of h
worshippers saw them as he was going
into the synagogue, but did not pay any
attention to them, believing that it was
only a boyish frolic. As far as the
police know, no one saw the finish of
the fight. 1t is supposed that after
pummeling the youngster the five boys
threw him down the stairs and that the
striking of his head against the stone
steps caused his death.

picked them mp out of the darkness,
They were sixteen very tired young men
and youths who climbed over the side OF
the Kimpland. Captain Gibbs put over
to Clifton. Staten Island, and there landed
them early this morning. Thence they
made their way to the camp, which had
already been established by Others Of their

ter and prepared to the Hook Lieutenant

to make the trip in a launch. The launch
left the cutter about two miles inside the
Hook and darkness settled down almost.
Immediately afterward.
In the darkness the cutter got off Its
course and was caught in the grip of out
going currents. which soon had the boat
beyond Sandy Hook and well out to sea.
Captain Gibbs was taking his tug down
from Scotland Lightship with two barges
in tow when he heard the faint hail:
For Gods sake, take us on board your
boat"
The captain put his tug over in the d.
rection of the voices and soon picked up
the cutter and rescued the men.

GAINES NEW PLAY
DEALS WITH "0LDEST PRO-
FESSl0N ON EARTH"
Revamped christian" Is So Realistic
That 1t May Be Stopped by
the Censor.

Sept. 2.-There is some chance
OF Hall Game getting out of his new play. |
the second edition of THE Christian
produced Saturday night at the Lyceum
Theatre, the best advertisement he ever
succeeded in obtaining in the course of his
strenuous fight for fame. The piece may
pe stopped by the Lord Chamberlain.
Mr.. Calne rewrote The Christian" with
a view to providing a solution of the prob
lens arising out of What Kipling describ-
ed as the oldest profession on earth,'' and
one act particularly is so realistic that
people are wondering how the theatrical
censor came to pass the play.
The London critics are almost unani-
mously of opinion that the piece will ave
a good run unless, as is suggested, the
Lord Chamberlain interferes, and they are
absolutely unanimously of the opinion that
1t is a very bad play We've from the
standpoint of dramatic art.
Mr.. Gaines Sermon" the Daily Mail
says today, missed fire as a sermon, and
thus forfeited its one claim to respect. If
by the means he has adopted Mr.. Game
were in the least likely to cleanse Lon
don of a universally recognized and uni
versally deplored stain or II his play were
even calculated to set on foot some move
ment for reform, one would waive the
lesser considerations of theatrical art and
consider him seriously as a sociological
force, but the plain truth Of the matter
is that the queer procession Of women
ornate, tawdry and drab-instead of send
ing useful shudders of horror through the
audience, merely proved one of the most
entertaining features of the play. 1t was
comic, not tragic, and the most earnest
and impassioned philanthropist, granted a
sense Of humor, would have laughed.
There were many exquisite bits of uncon-
scious humor."
The critic of the Daily News makes an
emphatic protest against social problems
being used as factors in Electrical sensa-
tionalism.
Only by a stretch Of language, according
to the Daily Telegraph, can THE Chris
tian" be called a play at all.
The Daily Mirror says: THE piece is
amateurish and crude, but Mr.. Game has
done what no playwright had the cour-
age to do before except George Bernard
Shaw, and he was stopped by the censor"
AT the production yesterday the pit
cheered the play till it was hoarse. This
is regarded as illuminating.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2.-The mystery at

Upton and party aboard the steam
yacht Erin is a topic of discussion
among yachtsmen here. The Erin re-
manned at Kingstown from Sunday last
until Thursday, when at midnight she
steamed northward, supposedly for
Dublin. She is not at the latter place,
and the belief now is that she has sailed
for New York.
1t is the intention Of Sir Thomas
to challenge at the eleventh hour for
the Americas cup. His friends have
been trying to dissuade him from doing
this, but he has unbounded faith that
he will succeed this time and is making

He will be represented by two boats
