Senator Colby, at New Idea"
Dinner Last Night Hit His Pros
peCtive Boom for Nomination.
SHOULD AIM FOR ASSEMBLY.
Reform Leader Says This Is a Criti-
cal Time i'm the Movement in This
State and Warns the Followers Not
to Make the Mistake of Seeking
for Office and Not Results-Likens
the Movement to minute Men,"

JERSEY CITY, Apr. 26:-There
was a dollar dinner at Grand View
hall in Jersey City last night under
the auspices of the Central Repub-
lican Committee of Hudson county.
More than a thousand followers of
the New Idea" movement were
there. The caterer had to provide two
sittings for them. 1t was the biggest
and most enthusiastic political din
ner ever held in the county.
State Senator Everett Colby, of Es-
sex county, said in part:
This is a critical time in the his
tory of the New Idea movement, and
believe we are going to meet it wise
ly and well. If my judgment does not
fail me we should have no candidate
for governor, but strike for the men,
bers of the assembly on a progressive
and sound platform. We are doing
good and useful work and if we keep
both feet on the ground we shall con-
tinue to do so, but we must avoid the
mistakes other reformers have made,
and one of these mistakes is to seek
Office when office is not absolutely
necessary to accomplish an end. The
goyernorship would subject the re-
form element to all the weaknesses
of political party. My ideal for the
New Idea is not party of political
workers, but a grand party of min
ute men.
Senator Colby being the most con-
spicuous man in the reform move
ment in New Jersey, has been looked
upon as most likely to get nomina-
ton for the governorship, should
enough strength be developed to JUS
tify the seeking of that Office in the
state, and some politicians thought
his speech meant that he wants to put
a damper on his prospective boom
for the present, at least.
Corporation Counsel George L
Record, of Jersey City, said that next

Convicted Mayor Of San Francisco to
Run for Fourth Term.

San Francisco, July 3.-Mayor Eu.
gene Schmitz, who is awaiting sen.
tence under conviction of %extortion,
authorized the Associated Press to say
that he will be a candidate for re-
election to a fourth term, and that
he has already begun the preliminary
work of his campaign. He declared
that he is confident of winning at the
polls, and that nothing will prevent
him from running except the denial
by the appellate and supreme courts
of the appeal he is preparing to make
for a new trial of the charge of which
he stands convicted by a jury in the
superior court.
Another announcement by the mayor
Is that he will bring mandamus pro.

is not forthcoming next Monday, as
promised. Until judgment is passed
the mayor cannot carry his appeal to
the higher courts, and until he has
appealed he has no hope OF gaining ad.
mittance to bail.

CINCINNATI BUILUIN6 FALLS
Fifty-Two Workmen Have Miraculous
Escape from Death.

Cincinnati. July 3.-Fifty.two mel
had a remarkable escape from death
in the collapsine of a four-story bust.
ness block ON Main street, only ten
being injured and none of those dan.
gerously. The accident was caused
by the weakening of foundations by
the excavation being made at the
corner of Ninth and Main streets for
the new ten-story building of the Sec.
opd National bank. The building that
fell was occupied by the office furni-
ture firm of Levy & White. Its outer
wall fell into the excavation, where
the laborers were enjoying their mid.
day meal. Forty laborers were EN-.
ployed on the job and most of them
were seated around the excavation
when the wall fell. In the wrecked
building were a dozen other men,
some OF whom were shot out through
the windows and w%reckage into the
streets. That numbers were not killed
outright seemed little less than mi
raculous. However, the timbers in
falling formed arches, under which the
men were safely housed.

JAPAN HAS NO OBJECTION
Would Not Regard Big Fleet in Pacific
"a Unfriendiy Act.

Washington, July 3.-"No, Japan
would n o regard it as al u~nfriendly
act If the American government saw
fit to increase her naval representation
in her territorial waters on the Pa
cifc coast, or ever IL she sent addi-
tiOnal men-of-war to the Asiatic sta
lion. She would not look upon it as a
menace or regard it with regret"
These were the words of Viscount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the
United States, when his attention vas
called to a published report that the
general board of the navy had recon
mended to the president that the bat
tleships of the American feet be sent
around to the Pacific coast. At the
same time the ambassador expressed
a great deal of interest in the stories
printed and asked II they were true.
He disliked, he said. to appear in the
public prints when there was no rea.
son for II. but he felt at perfect lib
erty to say what he did on this sub
ject.

was at his ranch when the fire &C.
Cured He also swore that Orchard
had told him that but for Governor
S~teunenberg he would be rich and
that he intended to kill S~teunenberg.
Mehilict and Altman, who followed
Malich, also made positive and cir
Cumstantial denials OF all the things
Orchard swOre they did with him.
Attorney f. F. Richardson conducted
the examination.
The cross-examination of all three
witnesses showed a purpose on the
part of the state to further deal with
their testimony when the ease in re-
buttal Is reached. When Orchard is
recalled he will be asked to give his
version OF the alleged use of Petit
bone dope in burning Malich's store
at Globeville.
Another unusual feature was con-
tributed to this unusual crime with its
background of plots and counter.plots,
criminal, industrial and political, by
the appearance as a witness for the
defense of f. l.. Mcfarland. a brother
Of Detective James MCFARLAND, who
worked up the case against Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone and obtained Or
cahrd's confession. This McParland
IS a shoemaker at Manitou and he
came to tell that while he was follow
ing his peaceful craft at Victor during
the strike he was unceremoniously
taken from his last by the militia,
thrust into the bull pen" and then
%deported.
Eugene Englee, formerly attorney
general OF Colorado. swore that Or
chsrd told him OF the loss OF a rich
share in the Hercules mine and of his
intention to kill Steunenberg. Englee
told at great length how the military
authorities at CRIPPLE Greek defed the
processes of the civil courts. how he
was himself deported from Telluride,
where he went as counsel for the fed
Grafton, and how he was later deport-
cd from Cripple Creek the day the
mob destroyed the union store at Gold
field. His entry into extended descrip,
tions and minute details brought many
objections, and finally the judge in
tervened to limit him to the material
facts to save the time of the court
and jury.
The defense also produced Thomas
C.. Foster, now a bartender at Bisbee,
Ariz., who was as a union miner
tried. and acquitted at Cripple Creek

fishes a new worlds record.
w. c. Christie, the only American

chine, had trouble early in the race
and did not figure among the leaders.
Dieppe was crowded with visitors
and fully 100000 people saw the race.
The route was lined by spectators at
