through his public utterances and judi

enemy of organized labor; that he Is
the instrument and exponent of capital

which he uphols with ether iniquitous
measures was never intended and never
should be applied to deprive honest in

object to his methods of campaigning

WILL TIE
NO KNOTS
FOR CUPID
Unwilling TO Chance Legal
ity Of Marriages Performed
by an Acting Mayor.

Patrick Fl. Ryan, president of the
Common Council of 1908, who by virtue
of his office as president is acting
Mayor during the Mayors absence,
has made a statement that he will
perform no marriages while acting
Mayor, as there is some doubt in his
mind as to the legality of the proceed
ings.
The law provides that the Mayor
may perform marriages, and the city
charter confers on the acting Mayor
all the powers of the Mayor, the doubt
being whether the law which provides
that only the Mayor shall perform the
ceremony does not exclude the acting
Mayor
Last year President John F. Sinnott
oficiated at many marriages during
the absence of Mayor Haussling, and
during previous administrations the
acting Mayors have married thou
sands of couples.
While the question is not settled, it
would be an interesting court case If
the legality Of marriage performed
by an acting Mayor was questioned.

the case" This woman is said to be
George Dickinson. who lived at 242
West Thirty fourth street, New York,

have been infatuated.
She was with him for two or three
days after the murder She is said
to have received the day after the
crime a gold bracelet belonging to Mrs.

knew his wife had any such ornament.
The Dickenson woman has not been

the Dickinson woman was known in
certain circles in this city and Har-

to bear me out" the chief added, "yet
have every reason to believe Whit

that it win yet be shown that not only
was a second man implicated, but that
a woman who thought she would be
benefited by Mrs. Whitmore's death
played very important part"

Most of Mrs. Whitmores relatives live
