SOCIAL HARMONY ALMOST
STILL SLIGHT PALPITATION
ABOUT JAMESTOWN.
Peace Is Re-Established, But the
Method of Its Restoration Not
Quite Satisfactory.

NORFOLK, Va, August 31.-The reported
harmony in the exposition family received
a jar today when both Commissioner Cen
eral Kohlsaat and Director General Barr
declared that a breach of faith had been
committed by some one in the settlement
of the differences. This announcement
caused breeze of apprehension. but It Is
believed that it will all pass over and
things run smoothly.
Both Mr.. Barr and Mr.. Kohlsaat while
admitting that the settlement announced
the resignation of Mr.. Kohlsaat and the
tary had been agreed upon, declare that 1t
was not to have been announced until
today. and that only the announcement Is
sued by the commission, that Mr.. Barr
had no intention of doing more than tighten
the burdens of President Tucker by reliev-
ing him of the social duties, should have
been given out The objection is to the ad-
mitted fact That kohsaat did not resign
until today. and that Mr.. Grundy had only
been agreed on as his successor. The resig-
nation was not rendered last night al
though he agreed that he would do SO
today.
1T was my understanding" said Mr.
Barr today. that nothing was to be pub
lished in the newspapers in addition to the
statement agreed on and the announcement
of Mr.. kohlsaat's intended resignation, and
who his successor should be was premature.
Further than this neither Mr.. Kohlsaat or
Mr.. Barr will talk. 1t Is not expected that
there will be any further trouble in refer
ence to the matter. Mr.. Kohlsaat tendered
his resignation today.

Mayhem Bronson Looks Over the Con-

Worth Adopting.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 31.-Mayhew Bronson,
the millionaire ex-chief Of the Larchmont
fire department. took the opportunity dur
ing a recent trip on the European conti-
nent Of investigating the various fire de-
partments. In Berlin they gave him O
private exhibition of the workings Of the
department. Speaking to The Star cores
pondent, he said:
Il found many Of the departments in
European cities first class in every respect,
particularly in Berlin. where all the latest
scientific devices for the conquest of flres
are in use. I saw one device which think
could with advantage be introduced in
America. It is a telescope ladder worked
by compressed air. 1t occupies less space
than one Of our water towers, and Is erect
ed to a height Of sixty feet in less than
thfrty-six seconds. Only two men are re-
quired to work 1t, whereas with our Amer
lean ladders eight to dozen are required.
Many of the departments go In greatly
for motors but think that in the crowded
condition of American cities and lack of
training on the part Of the people to in
stantly separate at the sound of a fire en-
gine bell. and the stopping of traffic in
stantly at the wave of a pollceman's hand,
as in European cities, the danger to life
by motor propelled engines would be too
great for successful use in America
Mr.. Bronson sailed for New York today
On the steamship st. Louis.

cHIcAGo's NEW WATERWAY.
Opening Of Dam Valves Made the Oc.
casion of a Celebration.

CHICAGO, August 31.-A week from to-
day the project of a waterway from the
lakes to the guilt at least a waterway for
craft of the small species. will no longer
exist as a dream of commercial enthusiasts,
but as an established fact.
The first move toward its practical ex-
istence was made yesterday. when the
valves Of the celebrated butterfly dam.
the inception and construction of which is
original with the engineers of the sanitary
district, were opened, and for the first
time water was allowed to flow from the
drainage canal, which. heretofore, has ter
minated at the "beartrap" dam, where 1t
joins the Desplaines river, into the head
race of the great power plant two miles
below.
The occasion of the opening of the dam
and of the virtual christening OF the boat
canal was in the nature of an event. Trus-
tees Of the drainage board and a number
of guests from Chicago were present. There
were also gathered several hundred people
from Joliet and Lockport to witness the
opening of the dam and the flow of water
down the race.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 81. 1907.
With the return to the city next week OF
George r. Gather republican candidate for
governor the campaign, will open in full
swing. Chairman Parran has already OPEN
ed state headquarters in the Calvert build
ing and with a corps of assistants is buslly
engaged In the preparation of campaign
literature. The campaign gives.svery prom
ise of being most interesting. in view Of the
attiture to be assumed by the large cor
porations. The views Of Mr. Gather on
municipal ownership are well known to the
corporation managers, and they are await
ing his letter of acceptance before taking
any stand. From authoritative source
The Star correspondent has learned that
IL the letter of acceptance to be written by
Mr.. Gather gives any hint Of carrying into
effect his ideas in regard. to curbing the
corporations these interests will band to-
gether and bring into play all the influence
at their command to bring about the de-
feat of Mr.. Gather. Already the heads of
the big corporations have reached a tacit
understanding, and only a word is neces-
sary to set the powerful machinery in mo-
ton. If the fears Of the corporations can
be allayed they will take no interest in the
campaign and allow 1t to be fought out on
principle.
Evening star., 1907-09-01
Will Supply Vast Fund.

If, on the other hand, the republican
candidate adheres to the ideas which he has
promulgated numerous occasions, the
corporations will provide large fund to
encompass the defeat Of Gather. Any
one at all familiar with politics in Mary
land knows that for years past the big cor
porations have practically financed the state
campaigns for the democratic party. 1t has
been an open secret and the corporations
made no bones of it. They regarded the
whole matter as a purely business PROPOSE
ton, and the democratic party naturally
became subservient to their wishes. The
thrusts made at them during the last two
sessions of the legislature were due solely
to the fact that they refused to contribute
any longer the funds for state campaigns.
The corporations discovered that in late
years they not only had to finance the
campaigns but also purchase votes in the
legislature when charters and favors were
wanted.
Hence they withdrew from ante-election
activity. finding 1t cheaper to buy members
of the legislature. Now. however, the cor
porations face another sftuation-one which
they claim Is fraught with peril unless
some assurances shall come from Mr.. Gal
ther and unless that assurance does come
there will be large corruption fund raised
to defeat the republican ticket.

IN THE OLD DOMINION
REPUBLICANS TO CONVENE AT
NORFOLK ON WEDNESDAY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 91.-Another
step In the move to deliver the vote Of vir-
ginia to some one man in the next repub-
lican national convention will be made by
the republicans of the state when they con-
vene next Wednesday In the city Of Nor
folk. 1t is to be meeting Of the state ex-
ecutive committee. consisting OF one men,
ber from each district. The chairman of
the committee is C.-Bascom Slemp, a son
Of Col. Campbell Slemp. the solitary repub-
lican in Congress from this state. 1t is be-
lieved to be the idea Of Chairman Siemp to
get things in a line and to be ready to act
at the psychological moment. Just whom
he favors is not known. but there Is reason
to believe that he Is not inimical to the In
terests Of Leslie M. Shaw. But it may be
that the chairman will align his forces and
await developments. He is a far-sighted
man. this Chairman Siemp, who is accredit-
ed with more sagactty In matters political
than his father.
The ofiiceholding element favors Secretary
Taft if President Roosevelt is out Of the
way. The party here is for Roosevelt, and
1t will have to hear from him in order to
switch to any other candidate OF course,
If the President says Taft, the vote q Vir-
ginia will go to the big man from Ohio"
state Is one thing that worries the leaders.
They may possibly accept Taft, but they
will not stand for Roosevelt. II Roosevelt
Is put into the running the colored voters of
Virginia will line up for Foraker. The con-
test will be for control Of the delegation.
The brother In black will not participate
in the Norfolk meeting That is to be a
lily-white affair.
Chairman Slemp Is an aggressive fighter
He wants to name candidate for every
house and senatorial district In which his
party has a fighting chance. He does not
believe In wasting his ammunition, however
and only In those sections where there Is
discomfort will he consent or suggest that
candidates be placed in the field. This Is
largely in the districts in which the colored
voter is not a factor, but in the white
counties. In this way he would draw out
the white republican vote and the negro vot-
ers would not have a chance to show their
strength He would be able to show that
the republicans had made fight, though
no reference would be made to the fact
that where the constitution had made it
possible for few negroes to vote, the
management of the party had been such
that the few qualified had been afforded no
opportunity for casting their vote for candi-
dates for the general assembly.
Bascom Slemp has ambition to become a
representative, and he is believed to be set
ting his wires to capture the nomination in
the ninth district next year. for 1t is
foregone conclusion that the members Of
that party will not again support the pres
ent representative.
