Fishwife Methods in Chicago

Hurled by Newspapers Supporting
Opposing Tickets-campaisn Grows
Moro strenuous-Both Republicans
and Democrats Will Bolt Ticket.

Chicago March 30.--The fshwife
methods which have become predom-
inant in the local municipal campaign
seem to increase every day. The real
issue at stake, which involves the
method of improving the local trans
portation system, has been almost lost
in the flood of invective, vituperation
and libel suits threatened and actually
begun. Threats OF criminal prosecution
are being hurled back and forth be-
tween Individual politicians, and be-
tween newspaper supporting the rival
candidates such choice epithets as
liar" "perjurer." "thief." CRATER"
and human polecat," are of every day
occurrence.
There has not been the slightest
change in the attitude of the opposing
parties on the actual issues of the cam
paign. They have during the last few
days been discussed less and less,
while republican and democratic
speakers have devoted their time to
proclaiming their party leaders to be
innocent of any wrong doing or evil In
tent and have accused the opposing
party of being all brands of political
bandits, headed by arch pirates of the
deepes- shade of black. Meetings are
held in the interest of both parties
thruout all parts of the city at almost
every hour of the day between noon
and midnight. all af them largely at
tended by enthusiastic partisans
Actual figures on the possible result
are exceedingly difficult to obtain
The city is normally democratic in mu-
nicipal campaigns, but this year there
are strong delegations which have gone
from the republican ranks to Mayor
Dunno, because Of their disinclination
to vote for Busse. On the other hand
there is large sized element in the
democratic ranks which does not APP
prove much that Dunno has accom-
plished, or failed to accomplish. and
these will also bolt the party, ticket.
The actual amount of these desertions
it is impossible to estimate.
The party managers as usual claim
with much emphasis the coming cleo
tion of their candidates. Dunno asserts
he will be returned to office by a plur-
ality of not less than 10000. Republi-
cans claim an equal excess in votes for
BuSse.

opinion when General Darlington. in

ultimatum that all the negro soldiers

charged without honor unless they de-
liyered up the guilty men. Grier con-
Guided that the men wece innocent be-
cause of the effect of this ultimaturn

ion that all the old and tried soldiers
had done everything they could to de-
termine if any of their men were in

VOTE FAvoRs STRIKE
Representative. of Railway Trainnen
and Conductors Say It is Not in
Their Power to Accept Less Than
the Men Have Asked-knapp and
NeiII Offer Services.

Chicago. March 80 Chairman
Knapp. Of the interstate commerce
commission, and Charles P. Ncill. of the
United States labor commission. ar
rived here today from Washington, to
offer their good offices in settling the
dispute between the western railroads
and members of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and Order of Con-
ductors. Representatives of the men.
Grand Chief Morrissey and Chief Con-
ductor Garrettson, were positive in
their assertions before the meeting
commenced, that the men would not
abate anything in their demands. They
declared that 1t was not in their power
to accept less than the men had asked,
for the reason that the membership in
both organizations had voted on the
propositions to be considered in the
meeting. and the vote was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of a strike. unless the
demands of the men are granted.
C. P. Brown, chairman of the board
of managers OF the railroads. was
equally explicit in his assertions that
the railroads could not go further than
they have already gone and that. it is
not possible for them to make greater
concessions than had already been Of
fered. Before entering the meeting,
Chairman Knapp said:
Il cannot say just now what will be
done. My understanding is that both
sides are anxious to avoid a strike and
if such is the disposition, everything will
come out happily. OF course l can tell
more about the situation when we have
once heard statements from both sides.
We shall certainly do everything in
our power while acting in strict JUS
tice for all concerned, to bring about
peaceable adjustment of the diff
Guilty"
Knapp and Neill were first in con-
ference with the members of the board
of general managers, who outlined their
case and explained the situation as it
appears from their viewpoint They
were with the chairman less than an
hour Representatives of the trainmen
and conductors We're then called in.
No Settlement Reached.
Nothing tangible resulted from the
first meering of Knapp and Neill with
the parties to the railroad dispute. Lat
er meetings will be held today but it
is not believed any agreement or set
tlement will be had for several days.
When asked today if he came to Chi
cago at request of President Roosevelt,
Chairman Knapp said he had not, de-
claring ne had neither seen nor COM
municated with the president in regard
to the matter. The trip was imposed
on him by the duties of his office and
he came on that account. he said.

To Call Dr.. Hamilton.

New York, March 30.-From sources
assumed to be authentic it was an
nounced late last night that DR. Allan
McLane Hamilton, alienist, will be
called to testify today before the lun-
acy commission which is to determine
whether Harry K. Thaw is mentally
competent to understand the nature Of
the proceedings in his trial for the kill
ing Of Stanford White and to nationally
advise his counsel. DR. Hamilton/ it
was stated will appear as a witness
at the request Of the commission and
will be the only expert examined The
declaration that DR.. Hamilton would
be called was surprise, as it had
been generally understood that the
commission would not hear any expert
testimony as to the defendants condi-
ton of mind. Dr. Leopold Putzel, one
of the commissioners, it was expected,
would be relied upon to determine any
medical points involved.
1t was DR.. Hannilton's testimony at
the trial that precipitated the request
by the district attorney for lunacy
commission. Originally retained by
the defense, Dr. Hamilton examined
Thaw and was expected to qualify as
a u.
however, his connection with the de-
tense was severed and he was SUBJ
poenaed as a witness for the state He
was not called by the prosecution, but
was eventually summoned to the wit
ness stand by the defense.
Under examination at that time he
testified that Thaw was insane when
he examined him in the Tombs last
summer and he believed him still in
sane. Replying to a question by At
torney Gleason for the defense, DR..
Hamilton said that he believed that the
prisoner was unable TO properly advise
his counsel. District Attorney Jerome
at this point interrupted the witness
and appealed to the conscience OF the
court to consider whether lunacy
csmmission should be appointed.
