NEW IDEA MEETING
MARTIN 0 U MOTACCEPT
CHAIRMAN NOMINATION.
Seventh Ward Branch of Body Refuses
to Pledge Itself for ANY
Candidate.

Despite the fact that Alderman Will
lam p. Martin is being actively doomed
by some of his more ardent friends as
the New Idea candidate for chairman
Of the Republican County Committee,
1t was stated in positive terms today
by one of the leading members of the
New Idea element of the party that
BILLY wouldn't take 1t on a silver
platter"
The name of Gardner Colby. president
OF the Republican League for Limited
Franchises and Equal Taxation. Is also
under consideration by the New Idea
people. Whether any candidate for
county chairman should or should not
be put up. Will be discussed tonight at
a meeting Of the general advisory COM
mittee of the New Idea League.
Mr.. Martins and Mr.. colby's names
are the only ones hat have been gem
orally mentioned. though some adj
herents of the element believe L.athrop
Anderson. who had previously been
named for the post. would be the best
candidate. but Mr.. Anderson Will not
permit his name to be used, rs he
thinks he should not consistently ac-
cept a party office of the kind while he
holds his place as president # the
County Board for the Equalization of
Taxes.
Watcher any candidate at all will be
chosen, was said today by al leading
light in the New Idea ranks, to be
doubtful. What the reason was for
not picking a candidate was not given,
but members of the regular wing of the
party claim hat the New Idea ele-
ment has little chance to elect the
chairman and that they realize the fact,
and rather than sustain another defeat
on the point will not put up a candi-
date. But this is the view of the OPP
posing side,
Whether 1t holds good will be shown
by the outcome of tonight's meeting.
Endorsements of Sheriff Frank H.
Sommer for Governor and of the ten
former Assemblymen of the New Idea
faction of the Republican party who
have agreed to stand were made at a
meeting of the Seventh Ward New Idea
branch at Hammelrs Hall, Summit
and Academy streets, last night.
The members of the branch, who are
on the advisory committee of the
county organization of the New Idea
faction, will go to a meeting of that
body in the New Auditorium In Orange
street unpledged to any candidate for
chairman of the Republican County
Committee. Alexander F. Cashin
sought to have the ward branch in
dorse Alderman William P. Martin for
county chairman, but it was decided
by a close vote not to pledge the ward
members to anyone, although the
expressed was strongly in
favor of Mr.. Martin.
John Corby, who had been named as
a committee of one on terms of COM
promise for the primaries, did not at
tend the meeting, and there was no
from him.

IN A TITLE?
COPS STICK EVEN FOR AN
ALDERMAN.
Douglass Didn't Know Bennett and
Meyer and They Resent Way
He Handled Them.

Policeman William Douglass. of the
First Precinct station, aroused the
wrath of two members of Common
Council. AT least last night, in the
crowd at the Presto lunch room fire in
Market street, when he pushed Messrs.
William r. Bennett and Julius A. Meyer,
of the aldermanic body, back with the
rest of the crowd, and, 1T is said. an
alteration followed and Meyer and
Bennett were both given a tap with the
big p~oliceman's nightstick.
In haste and anger, more injured In
pride than physically, the aldermen
ran to the First Precinct station, Alder
man Meyer demanding that Sergeant
Caffrey strip Douglass of his uniform,
which the sergeant refused to do.
The aldermen had been at a meeting
last night and on their way home were
walking up Market street when they
saw the crowd at the fire in the Presto
lunch room. Douglass, on whose post
the fire occurred, was busy keeping The
crowd back when the two city officials
strolled up to the place. Douglass did
not know either of them, and when
they got too near the fire he used force
in pushing them back. AS Douglass
started to move Alderman Bennett
back, the latter grabbed him by the
o protesting with the policeman.
Douglass drew his stick and tapped
Bennett on the wrist with it, so as to
break the alderman's hold.
Bennett told the policeman who he
was and demonstrated with him for
using such force. Douglass told him
= -..-HI - IT. 1.4xv 80 AZ fhA Drnnt-
dent of the United States was trying
to crowd up to the fire without a
badge.
At the station Meyer was the spokes-
man. He insisted that the uniform be
taken off of Policeman Douglass and
that the policeman be not allowed tc
go out on the street again.
Meyer was very angry, indeed, wher
the sergeant refused to do as he re-
quested, saying that Caffrey was II
authority when Captain Ryan was
away. Caffrey told the Alderman thai
it was beyond his power, and he coule
come today and make a complaint t.
Captain Ryan.
Alderman Bennett was seen at thu
Central Railroad station this morning
by an EVENING STAR reporter. H
said that the affair did not AMOUNT t
anything except that the policeman
lost his head.
81 will not make charges against tn
policeman said Alderman Bennett
He might have used a little more car
in pushing the people back, but I'll no
make any further talk about the mat
ter"
Aldermen Bennett admitted that h
did not show his badge or make know
his Identity until after he was pushe'
back with the rest of the crowd. III
said that 1t was at Meyers sugges
ton that they went TO the station
Bennett claims that in the scramble
Meyer was hit in the head by tn
policeman's stick, but he said he di,
not think that Meyer would make an,
fuss about the matter.
Captain Ryan said this morning tina
he had no kick to make about tn
matter either way.

Stephen Salie. an aged negro. who
fought with the Confederates in the
Civil War, has applied to William S..
Mills. a local pension agent, for a PEN
sion of $40 a. month from the Federal

Sallie asserts that he was forced
into the ranks of the rebels, and says
he needs the money to keep body and
soul together for the remainder of life.
He is too old to work and has no one
TO look after him. Squire Mills has
interested himself in the old mans
case, but If aid is secured for him it
will be from some urc other than
the Pension Department at Washing
