FIX NATIONAL CONVENTION
MEETING PLACE TODAY.
Chicago and Kansas City Continue
Struggle to Get 1t and Denver
Sticks--Counter Claims

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE members
Of the National Republican Committee be-
gan 10 congregate at the Shoreham Hotel
early today ip preparation for the last
session of the present meeting The sole
topic of conversation was the place OF
holding the national convention, which 1t
was generally understood would be de-
termined during the day.
Chicago ana Kansas City were still the
leading candidates. but Denver resolutely
declined to be considered as out of the
running, and many Of the friends of that
city mingled freely with the delegates
urging them to consider the climatic and
other attractions of the Plains City be-
fore deciding to go elsewhere
Mr.. Isowden, on behalf OF Chicago,
claimed thrty-two Of the fifty-four mem
bers for Chicago, while on the other hand
the Kansas City delegation contended tnat
Chicago had only thirteen delegates
pledged, while Kansas City was sure Of no
fewer than twenty-five with long list of
ana uncertain members to draw
from. There were, however. evidences OF
q tendency on the part Of the Eastern and
Southern men towards the Illinois centre,
and it was asserted that that city would
even get some votes from the far West

Reported Thaf Governor Will
Not Interfere in Case
of Di GOVanni.
MUST DIE in TIE CHAIR
Keep Time of lnfliction of Death
Penalty Secret Until He
Pays for Crime With His
Life S. Courage Oozes as
Dread Hour Approaches.

TRENTON, Dec. IA report was
sent to the State prison yesterday that
Governor Stokes had refused to inter-
fere in the execution of Saverio Di
GIOVANNI, who is under sentence of
death. Di GIOVANNI will be the first
victim of the electric chair, and while
the date of the execution has been set,
the man has paid the penalty.
The reason for this is to avoid con-
fusion, and anything else which might
arise by reason of the outside knowl-
edge as to when the execution will take
place Di GIOVANNI was not told of the
Governors action yesterday, but
Father Fish, who is attending to him,
gave him to understand that he should
not build up any hopes on reprieve
or escaping the chair.
Father Fish will remain, with the con-
demned man all night, and will give him
holy communion the morning before ne
goes to the chair. Father Fish will be as
sisted by Father Meyer, who will walk to
the chair with the condemned man.
Di GIOVANNI is losing heart, and it is ex-
peeted that while he win not make any
scene, he will go to the chair In tears.
He De ces his cell all day long and feels
that Keeper Osborne can do him great
deal of good, for he cries and kisses Mr..
Osborne's hand when he enters the cell.
He has lost much flesh since he came to
the prison. and sleeps very little.
Arrangements are completed for the exc
cution. Di GIOVANNI occupies the first cell
in the death house Inc other condemned
prisoners are also in cells in the same
chamber II was the idea of Principal
Keeper Osborne to leave the condemned
men in other parts of the prison until the
first execution would take place, but as
he has arranged everything to be done so
quietly he is of the belief that the whole
affair can be carried out without any OF
the others knowing anything about it. The
executions will take place in the morning
early, and If the condemned man does not
make any outcry the other prisoners will
not be disturbed in the least.

"Uncle Tom" Hansberry is dead. This
was passed around in the section of the
city near Is Eagles street, where Thomas
Hansbery, one of Newark's oldest and
most respected citizens, has resided for
years, and where he was looked upon
as one of the most straightforward,
honest characters, the kind that always

the deceased, who. had he lived until

For many months he had been ailing,

death.
Fifty years ago he was we'll known in

city At that time he was foreman for
the Samuel Fairs Express Company and
was known well by the leather trade in
that district. He worked at this vocation
for forty years and during that time built
up a competence upon which he retired
twenty-five years ago.
He was a man of pronounced ideas of

GUARD GOULD
AFTER LIFE
THREAT
Man Who, Failing to Reach
Millionaire, Said He'd Re.
turn, Suspected as Spy.

NEW YORK, Dec. Howard Could s
bachelor apartment house at III West
Forty-third street, where Mr.. Gould
maintains elegant apartments, is
watched by detectives today as the re-
suit of cranl1's threat to kill the mil
lionaire yesterday afternoon.
A wild-eyed young man stood in front
of the apartment, flourished an ugly
looking clasp-knife, and shouted:
TIN going to kill Howard Gouldl
They can't keep me out!"
He slipped the open knife into his
pocket, ran up the steps and through
the vestibule doors, but then the inner
door opened and the intruder was
thrown down the steps.
'I'll come back here with a gun and
blow off Howard Gould's head" the man
said as he gathered himself together and
started toward Broadway. He said his
name was Thomas Duffy, and that his
wife Is housekeeper of the bachelor apart
ments
Duffy is believed to be the same man
who. on November 20. didn't want to press
a complaint with taking his watch in a
Bowery saloon. He gave the name
Thomas S. Duffee,' a bookkeeper, of
Ill West Forty-thrd street. When told he
would be sent to the House of Detention,
he replied
Send me anywhere but send me where
: can reach Howard Gould or Clarence
Shearn"
The Gould apartment is next to the Army
and Navy Club, and within two minutes
walk from Broadway.

PLAN TO PAY
POLICE EACH
z WEEKS
Ordinance Recommended by
Finance Comm ,ttee Passed
on to Third Reading.

The ordinance of City Counsel Nu-
gent calling for the payment of the
members of the police force every two
weeks instead Of monthly was passed
on. to third reading by the Common
Council last night and will come UP for
final passage at the last meeting of the
present body on December 27.
The recommendation was made some
time ago by the finance committee. The
measure was presented by Alderman
Patrick H. Ryan, Democratic majority
leader, and chairman of that commit
tee.
The semi-monthly payment of the police
will mean a big increase In the work Of
the financial departments. The members
of the Fire Department have been paid
twice a month for some time, but there
have been legal difficulties in the way of
the police ordinance and they were but
recently removed. The change for both
was warmly advocated by all directly in
terested and the merchants of the city
were heartily in sympathy with the plan
Ut was argued that for the man of small
income to be paid but once month was
a hardship.
1t was estimated last night by William
Schmauder. chief clerk of City Treasurer
Albert T, Guenthers Office, that with the
increased number of police checks to be
prepared the payroll of the city will re-
auire 4311 checks for the month of Jan
uary.
There are some $50 men affected by the
ordinance introduced last night. So that
there will be an increase in the number of
checks to that extent, each receiving two
in month where previously he received
but one.
Some idea If the thriving village that
Newark has grown to be may be obtained
when 1t is considered that fors the month
OF November checks from the City
Treasurers office aggregating 1886. .5Ss.45.
There were no doubt some Implications in
that fortune, but II is in the main repre-
sentative Of the vast turnover of funds in
a month in the latter part of the citys
fiscal year The city's financial business
has about doubled in less than decade.
OF the almost 1000 checks that were
issued on the city funds In November ap-
proximately 1900 went to pay principals,
teachers and educational department enl-
ployees. There are not that many indi
viduals in the school administration. In
many cases those receiving pay from the
city are employed in both night and day
schools and SO receive two checks each.

RIOTS
HAVE BEGUN
IN NEVADA

WASHINGTON, Dec lit is feared
here today that rioting has already
begun at Goldfeld, New, where there
are thousands of striking miners, hun
dreds of whom are armed with rifles.
Two detachments of fe5eral troops,
ordered by President Roosevelt to pro-
ceed to Goldfield to hold the striking
miners in check, are now hurrying to
Nevada. These troops consist of 131
men from Fort Mcdowell with a ma
chine gun platoon, and 149 men and a
machine gun platoon from Monterey,
Cal. All troops are to be under Colonel
Reynolds. unless General Funston him
self takes command.
Both General Oliver, Acting Secretary OF
War and Adjutant- General Ainsworth now
realize that the situation calls for drastic
action The only fear is that wreckage
and disaster may begin before the troops
arrive. Governor Sparkss dispatch, given
below, indicates that the miners are al
ready beginning their campaign of law
1essness and that dynamite either had been
or was to be used freely.
Governor Sparks's appeal to the Presi-
dent dated at Carson City, reads:
"At Goldfield, Esmeralda County, State
of Nevada there does now exist domestic
violence ana unlaWlul CVihpih"liohS anu
conspiracies which do now so obstruct and
continue to so obstruct and hinder the exc
cution Of the laws of the State Of Nevada
and now deprive and continue to deprive
the people of said section of the State OF
the rights. privileges immunities and pro-
lection named In tho Constitution of the
United States and the State of Nevada, to
wit: Unlawful dynamiting Of property,
commission of felonies, threats against the
lives and prOperlV of law abiding citizens,
the unlawful possession of arms and am
muniticn and the conhscation of dynamite
with threats of the unlawful use Of the
same by preconcerted actions"

There will be an increase in the price

Kruger. head OF the Gottfried Krueger
Brewing Company, today. 1T viii be
made by brewers as individuals ana

1t is due to the increase in the cost
of the ingredients used in~ the manu-
facture of the amber liquid When the
increase will take effect. or the extent
of it, Mr.. Kruger said he was not
prepared to state, because that was a
matter which concerned the Individual

The matter was talked Of at the
meeting of the State Brewers Associa-
ton yesterday, but as it affects tho
finances of each brewery separately,
concerted action could not be taken
by the association as an organization.

bates allowed to the saloonkeepers,

ACID ORDINANCE CHANGED.
VIII Now Embrace Sale of Poison to
veterinaries.

The ordinance restlictingsthe sale OF car
bolic acid, which was referred to the
finance committee at the November meet
ing of the Common Council and was to
have been brought up last night, was again
laid over.
This was explained by the an
nouncement after the meeting by
several interested Aldermen to the
effect that a new ordinance embracing
the sale OF acid TO veterinary surgeons had
been drafted by Assistant City Counsel
Charles Myers, and would be considered
by the committee prior to its introduction
at the adjourned session of the Council,
December O.
The original ordinance was introduced by
DR.. Joseph Froelleh. Alderman from the
Third Ward, in the first burst Of oratoiy
heard upon the floor Of the new City Hall.
DR.. Froelich's ordinance did not include
the sale of acid to or upon prescription of
veterinary surgeons and on the strength
Of an opinion from the law department,
the ordinance was changed to include such
practitioners.

PnrpOrted Denial Appears
in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. president
Roosevelt will not again be candi-
date. according to a statement he is
reported to have made to Samuel
Watts, of Lewiston. Pa. big Penn
sylvania banker, when Mr.. Watts vis-
tied the White House yesterday Mr.
Watts told the President that the peo-
pie of the keystone State wanted him
for another term. To this. Mr.. Watts
says, the President replied:
'SThat cannot be. 1 cannot serve
beyond my present term. 1 ann
grateful to the American people for
their kindly feeling toward me, hut
somebody else must carry on the
work"
just when the President awiIl let the
country know definitely that he will
stand by his election night announces
ment has not been determined appar-
emily. He will keep silence publicly on
this point, in accordance with an agree
ment with Secretary Taft, until Mr.
Taft returns to Washington. Mr.. Taft
is expected back here before Decem-
Der 20.
The understanding OF well-inforn1ed
circles is that the Presidents expected
announcement will be based on the
action of some Republican State con-
vention in instructing its delegates to
the national convention to vote FOR the
denomination of the President
| Many members of the national commits

he will not again be candidate. and thi

! Presidents denial is not seriously accepted
| by the committeeman is because he didn't
| say word to the committee on the SUBJ
ject. The national committee called yes
terday afternoon, and the tip, went
around that the President was going to
make d definite announcement TO the COM
mittee about the third-term talk. When
he failed to do this the third-termers be-
gan to jubilate again.
This direct statement was no sooner out
than the following apparently inspired an
nouncement was made, presumably from
the White House:
Although several interviews have
been published with recent White
House callers to the effect that Pres-
dent Roosevelt has declared anew that
he will decline another nomination, 1t
is known that the President has made
no such political declaration. 1t Is
pointed out that should he contem-
plate such a statement, he would nat
urally not embody II in a casual con-
versatiop with a caller, to be repeated
or withheld as the caller should elect,
but would make it direct, and this he
has not done.
