 to Finish,

New York, Jan. 2.-John T. Dooling was named by Mayor McClelland today to succeed John R. Voorhis as presi- dent of the Board of Elections. Ru- dolph Fuller was appointed to suc- ceed Michael J. Dady, and Charles B. Page and William Mcclure were ap- pointed members of the Board of Elec- tions.
 In announcing the appointment of Mir. Dooling, Mayor Mcclellan threw down the gauntlet to Tammany Hall and It's present leader, Charles F. Murphy. He declared that he could not recognize the existing control in Tammany or tolerate any relations with its present leader.
 q have no candidate for the leader ship of Tammany Hall," he said, nor have>I the least desire to involve my- self with the aspirations of anyone who is seeking such leadership. There has been no time when have had such a candidate or sought to control the organization. I should like to have the support of the Democratic organization, because I have always been a believer in party responsibility in administra- tion; but if I cannot have that sup port under conditions which favor clear and efficent government, then am content to do without it.

M,CREA SUCCEEDS CAssArr.
Announces He Will Not Change Policy
 Of RafIroad.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2--James McCrea of Pittsburg, First Vice-President Of the Pennsylvania Lines west of Pitts burg. was today elected President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by the directors of the latter corpora ton to succeed the late A. J. Cassatt.
 After the meeting of the Board of Directors, President McCrea authorized the following statement:
 "The policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad does not depend upon any one man. It continues unchanged from year to year. It will be my purpose to promote, as best can, the same pro- gressive development which was con- ducted so ably under President Cassatt and the presidents who proceeded him.
 The meeting of the board was a spe- cial one for the sole purpose Of elect ing successor to Mir. Cassatt Mir. McCrea had been selected to fill the vacancy at an informal meeting of all the directors after the funeral of MT. Cassatt on Monday.
 So far as can be learned Mir. Cas- satt's position as president of the Penn sylvania lines west of Pittsburg and other companies affiliated with the sys- tenn will not be filled until next week. It is certain, however, that President McCrea will be elected to all the places made vacant by the death of MT. Cas- satt.
 The two men most mentioned for MT. McCrea's place as first vice-president of the Pennsylvania lines are Joseph Wood of Pittsburg. second vice-presi- dent of the Western lines, and Will liam w. Atterbury of Philadelphia.
 The death of Mir. Cassatt and the election of MT. McCrea as his successor wall cause many changes in. the staffs of the executive heads of the com- pany, both in the general offices of the con pany in this city and in Pitts burg.

CRISIS IMMINENT
FISH LOOK FOR STARTLING INDUS
 TRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
Says That Country Is On Verge of Great Financial Reformation Which Will Be Cruel But
 Healthy.

New York, Jan 2-Stuyvesant Fish in statement written for he Journal of Commerce declares a great indus trial crisis is due and there are many indications of it's being imminent.
 Despite the unprecedented output of gold" MT. Fish writes. money is dear the world over and dear because of high prices and activity in trade" Other causes for dear money are foun in the fact that Great Britain has not fully made It's losses in the Boer war; that Japan and Russia, particu- larly the latter have scarcely begun to recover from the effects of their war and that within the past year, there have been tremendous losses of capital due to the calamity in San Francisco and Valparaiso.
 Turning to our own country MT. Fish writes that New York, especially that part of 1t known as Wal street, has absorbed and is absorbing more than its share of the loanable fund.
 Of the stock exchange. MT. Fish says.
 "The New York Stock Exchange has ceased to be a free market, where buy CTS and sellers fix prices through the ebb and flow of demand and supply, and has become the plaything of a few managers of cliques and pools to such an extent that for months past every announcement of increased dividends, of stock distributions and of rights has been met by a fall in prices.
 The Investigating public are, and remain out of the market, not because of ventures in industrials, in electric railways or in suburban real estate; the, speculation in each of which was checked months ago, nor yet because tel brd1 of the more recently pricked bubble in mining shares. but simply because of the distrust which even those poss- essed of ample means to have of the methods of corporate finance now in vogue in New York. That Europe shares this distrust of those methods Is shown by its outcry againet the misuse of American finance bill"
 Writing of the political possibilities, Mir. Fish says that so far as present parties are concerned, no crisis can arise before the presidential contest or 1908. He says further:
 q take it. however, that your in- quiry as to a political crisis, relates to other matters and in that sense a political crisis Is due, and l think. coming on.
 Indeed, it seems to me that we are already embarked on a long needed moral financial reformation, which, like the religious reformation of the middle ages. will through much cruel ty, work out good In the end. To the need of such a reformation, the pub lie are fully awake"
 The election of MT Hughes, MT. Fish says. shows the temper of tho people in this State, and he declares 1t is vastly stronger elsewhere.
 The selection by MT. Hughes of Mir. Keep as superintendent of banks, proves according to MT. Fish, that the Governor recognizes the public demand for moral financial reforms President Roosevelt and his cabinet. he says. are like minded in those respects. We as yet. see but the beginning. Time will work out the end," writes MT. Fish in conclusion

 Effect On Labor.


 Knoxville, Tenn. Jan. 2.--Attorneys for R. B. Oliver and others. railroad contractors, under indictment on the charge of peonage In holding negroes on railroad construction contracts near this city, will petition Attorney Gen. eral Charles J. Bonaparte to dismiss the cases When the trials occurred here last November. Carl Burger was acquitted, but a mistrial was entered as to the other defendants
 The petition to the attorney general, 1t Is said, will set out that If a oonvic- tion results, 1t will tend to make ne- gro labor more insubofdinate to whites; and if the men are convicted 1t may influence some contractors to cruelty to negro laborers. District Attorney J. R. Penland says he will resist any such endeavor.
 The government has twenty negro witnesses in custody here, retaining them to testify, in event of another hearing at the march term of federal court.

President Of Cotton Exchange Says Charges Are Without Foundatien.

 Charges Are Without Foundation.
 New York. Jan 2.--walter c. Hub bard. president of the New York Cotton Exchange. announced today thaS he asked Postmaster General Cortelyou to send him cSnles of any complaints which might have been raaAs to him against the Now York Cotton Ex- change
 This action was taken upon the pub licatfon of reports that an application would be made to the Postmaster Gen. erai in behalf of cotton growing inter- ests in the South for the issuance of a fraud order against tho New York Cot ton Exchange denying 1t the use of the United States mall. President Hub bard first sent telegram to Mir. Cor telyou and then, December 31, wrote to him in part as follows:
 Tt fs deplorable that such assault upon the New York Cotton Exchange, chartered institution of over thirty five years standing, founded by mer- chants of the city; or such implication as to the integrity of its members. should be made under any pretext or for any purpose whatever.
 Cur members are of the best known merchants here, of the trade in the South and abroad. They are proud of the past and of the present of their or- ganizatfon. They are upright business men. They need no defense or apology and they ask the nature of the charges, which are ignorantly made. They will protect themselves and they Indignantly protest against the calumny."
 It was recalled on the exchange to- day that an agitation somewhat simi- lar was stirred up fifteen years ago. At that time committee investigated whether the contracts ought to be changed so as to exclude the delivery of low grade cotton. The committee reported on the proposed change and declared the contract was adopted in order to give the producer an oppor- tunity of securing e satisfactory price for his growing crops and 1t enables him to deliver all merchantable grades. To restrict the delivery to a grade not below middling. it was declared, would do the producer great injury.

 The fact that he made no allusion to this trouble Is deemed significant. as such an allusion would be inter- preted as encouragement to the social ists and republicans and Italy to follow Frances lead in separating church and state.
