 BRANDEGEE'S LIECTENANTS.
Senator Goes Over Situation With
 HawIey and Kencaly.

Hartford, Dec 22.-Senator F. B. Brandegee, Sheriff Sid E. HawlGy of Fairfield county, and Michael Ken ealy. chairman of the republican state central committee, lunched to- gether yesterday at the Heubliein. There were no formal after dinner speeches, although a few who hap pened to be in the dining room felt drawn to the table occupied by the senator, chairman and sheriff. When the bangs of hunger had been fully relieved and subjects appropriate to the holiday season discussed, th , meeting, which, of course, had no political significance, adjourned and a carriage took the three boomers of the candidacy of Senator Brandegee to succeed himself to the Union sta ton.
 Chairman kenealy came to Hart ford Sunday, while Senator Bran degee and Sheriff Hawley arrived yes terday, and the reunion of those who had been parted so long was most pleasant. Another reunion is looked for at an early date and it is said that Hartford will be visited again in short order, which seems to indicate that there is something the matter with fences hereabouts, which the selectmen have not attended to-

Dalys Got Land for Debt.

New Britain, Dec 22-There is likely to be a bitter sequel in store for several Seymour park lot buyers in the foreclosure suit brought by Frank G. and Dana l.. Vibberts, eX- ecutors of the estate of the late Les ter A. Vibberts, against the l.. J. Co., burn Land and Lumber Co, M. J. Daily & Son of Waterbury. the Indus trial and Manufacturing Co and oth- CTS. NJ. J. Daly & Son, who have been cited in, brought action against the l.. J. Coburn Land and Lumber Co last fall on their claim of $1 $50 against the Coburn Co. The latter was given until October 1 to redeem, but did not do so, and now the prop erty, stands in the name of NJ. J. Daly & Son. w. E. Latham, as ad- ministrator of the Buttrick estate, next brought suit against NJ. J. Daly & Son to foreclose on the property to recover interest of $5,S00 on notes given by the Coburn Co to MT Buttrick and the latter has until Fen- ruary 1 to redeem. The notes given by the l.. J. Coburn Go do not fall due until 1911, so the .administra- tors recourse was to foreclose for the interest. It remains to see what Daly X Son do about redeeming.

THE WAR BEGUN
William J. Bryan Scores Presl- dent Roosevelt and Calls on
 Democrats 10 Fight
ONE BATTLE IS OVER

Uniontown, Pa, Dec. 22.-With "a battle over the war begun as his text, William Jennings Bryan last night announced that the democratic party in his belief must continue it's fight for reforms, the abandonment of which would be both disastrous and dishonorable and said he would not give up the principles for which he has fought nor the fight for their adoption in the national government.
 Mir Bryan spoke at dollar din ner' arranged by prominent demo- crats of the coke regions. Besides the 700 diners, hundreds were seated in the gallery.
 Judge Robert Umble was toast master Former Lieutenant Cover nor John Latta spoke on the dem- ocratic party of Pennsylvania; War ren Worth Bailey, of Johnstown on the democratic press of .Pennsyl- vania;" M. J. Caton of Pittsburg on "our distinguished guests" John l. Arogast on the tariff and labor proposition"
 MT Bryan said in part:
 If there is one state ill which a democrat ought not to lose caste merely because he has been defeated' that state is Pennsylvania. If there is one state in which the democrats are not expected to abandon prin- ciple merely because that principle, embodied in a platform, has failed to win victory, that state is Penn sylvania. For you have gone down to defeat in Pennsylvania with great regularity, no matter how good your platforms.
 The speaker then took up the vari- ous things for which the democratic party has contended during the last 12 years and pointed out the lndl- cations that have come to the demo- cratic position. He said that the re- publican party would not meet the expectations of the people and the voters would find relief only in the application of democratic principles.
 Concerning his continued leader ship of the democratic party, Mr Bryan said that leadership had come to him without effort upon his part, and as long as the party wanted him to continue such leadership he did not feel that he could relinquish it at the behest of those who might be personally interested in such ac- tion upon his part.
 Of the late election, he said MT Taft had been elected through com bination of the financial, commercial and industrial interests of the coun- try and that he would rather remain a private citizen than be president and be subservient to those interests, as Mir Taft must be under the con ditions that elected him. Mir Bryan said that President Roosevelt had degraded his high office by making it the football of party politics dur ing the recent campaign.

Fox Case Saturday.

New Haven, Dec. 22.-Some prog ress was made by the Fox reformers, yesterday, in the matter of perfect ing their evidence for the opening of the election court here next Sat urday before Judges Robinson, of Middletown, and Bennett. of New Haven. The case will be fought wholly on the grounds of constitu- tionality, and it is now apparent that a very bitter contest will he main tained to the end. The whole case will turn upon this point, and which ever side loses will possibly appeal to the supreme court. If the trial should proceed the court must then listen to a merciless discussion of the acts of politicians in this city during the past campaign.

FIRST DEGREE
Grand Jury Today Brought io a Finding Against John
 CavsDsugh
LIFE IN THE BALANCE

At l0:20 o'clock this forenoon John Cavanaugh faced the grand jury in the district court room. The jury reported promptly at 10 o'clock to Judge Bennett in the superior court and for twenty minutes the judge instructed them in the duty that was before them, to ascertain how Mrs Edith French of Union City came by the wounds which resulted in her death in the Waterbury hos pital three weeks ago. The jury com prised the following:
 Terence C. O'Brien, Hans Saro Charles Truman, Henry B. Carter, Waterbury; E. Shepard Gordy, John Larkin. Sr, Derby; Omar w. Platt, Milford; Otto H. Hall Orange; Thomas NJ. Cox, Charles R. Speigel, Frank J. Schellorn, New Haven; Frank II. Daley, Prospect George F. Pardee, Cheshire; Aaron Thompson, Southbury; Thomas F. Williams, An sonia and David Condon, Seymour.
 The following witnesses were ex- amined: Medical Examiner Dr A. A. Crane, Deputy Coroner Walter D. Makepeace; Dr Frank K. Castle, Po- licemen Joseph Mclean and Timothy J. Hickey, William Stanbury, motor man and Raymond Dingwell, con ductor of the car, which brought the woman to town the night she was shot by Cavanaugh
 At half past eleven the eXamina- tiOn of the witnesses was finished and Cavanaugh having been returded to his cell the jury began, its delibera- tiOn. In about ten minutes they sig nailed they were ready to report and in another few minutes they render ed true bill for murder in the first degree against CaVanaugh. The jury were then dismissed.
 Confinement in the jail seems to be healthy for Cavanaugh He has in creased ten pounds since he was re- manded from the city court. He would have been put to plea to-day in all probability but for the absence of his counsel. Attorney Kennedy, who is sick at home, Nothing more will be heard of the case until the February term of the superior court by which time Cavanaugh will have made up his mind whether or not to fight the case. If he does fight, 1t is very likely that his defense will be based on temporary insanity while under the influence of drink.

THE END NOT YET
Plilsbur0 Bribery Cases May leave San Francisco Scan.
 daI iE tbe Shade.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec 22.-FOllow- ing the sensational arrests here last night of seven councilmen and two bankers on charges of alleged cor ruption in conducting the public af- fairs of this city it is intimated to- day that even more startling develop
 hehts Will transpire soon. In the meantime the people of Pittsburg are vastly surprised at the sudden ness or the arrest of the nine men who are well known. During the night and early to-day the nine de- fendants and the attorueys and friends held many conferences for the purpose of discussing the mat ter while the officials of the voters league, who worked up the charges against the defendants, together with prominent attorneys and high municipal officials of the city, also held a meeting at which it is said plahs were perfected for the arrest Of other men alleged to be implicat- ed in the bribery scandal
 According to the best information obtainable to-day 1t is possible the municipal scandal of San Francisco will be insignificant when compared to he alleged grating here. Attorney A. Leo Well, president of the voters league, said today:
 This is the beginning. The end is not yet"
 Following are the men accused: Councilmen William Brend, John F. Klein, J. C. Wasson, T. o. Atkin- son, Jacob SoffeI. w. II. Melaney and Hugh Ferguson. Former President W. w. Ramsey and Former Cashier A. A. Nllsack of the German Nation al bank are also accused.
 Information against all the seven men of the councils charges them with conspiracy, and bribery. An ad- dltlonal information against Brand, WasSon and Klein charges them with bribery and corrupt solicitation. From Brand, Wasson and Klein bail in the sum of S3O,00O each was demanded. The bail of the other four members of councils was fixed at $l 1000 each.
 The information against Ramsey and Nilsack charges them with giv- ing Klein $1 11 ,JGJ as a bribe. Bail demanded for each is 1000. While all the defendants were taken by surprise when arrested last evening each secured the necessary bail which in the aggregate amount ed to $l7S.000.
 All the informatiOns were sworn l to by Tensard De Wolf, secretary of the voters league and formerly political writer on local paper. Robert Wilson, superintendent of the municipal league of Scranton, Pa, is described as the man behind the gun. MT Wilson assisted by corps of private detectives which he brought to this city from Scranton, quietly gathered the evidence against the defendants. The Pittsburg pO- lice were not consulted until yester- day when 1t was desired to make the arrests. Then Mayor Guthrie, Di- rector of Public Safety Lang, Super intendent of Police McQuaide and other city officials met in the public safety building where Mr Wilson. his detectives and member of the voters league laid the evidence before them. lmmediatly Mayor Guthrie ordered the arrests and the private detec- tiyes accompanied by city detectives rounded mp all the defendants
 MT Wilson says the voters league is back of the prosecutions and if is the intention 10 make Pittsburg as clean as Scranton is to-day.

force contracts. His economic phil
osophy is little different from that
OF Herbert Spencer. Land titles would
be based on actual occupancy, very
much in accordance with the single
tax ideal.
The State. according to Mr.. Tucker,
is the very embodiment OF the princi-
pie of invasion and should be spewed
out utterly. Aggression and invasion
are synonymous with government and
will not be tolerated by free people
Anything resembling communism
or state socialism Mr., Tucker rejects
with scorn. Salvation Is to be reached,
not by working for society or pos
terlty, or the glory of God, but by the
development OF each individual by
himself, without help nor hindrance
from others.
Mr.. Tucker does not hold to the
propaganda OF the deed" He would
make his ideal a reality by convert
Ing a sufficient number OF men to his
philosophy to bring about the change
by simply refusing obedience to the
mandates OF the state. He would ig-
more government, rather than oppose
or defy It.
But the economic adjuncts of the
Tucker creed are only incidentals.
Liberty ls.the god of his idolatry, the
beginning and the end of anarchistic
philosophy. This liberty is to be at
tanned, not by bomb or bludgeon,
but by an intellectual and practical
negation of government. Strongest
of all. to those acquainted with only
the common or garden concept of an
archism, is the fact that Mr.. Tucker
has adopted, as the official anarchist
anthem, the poem on Liberty" by
the late secretary of state, John Hay:
Forever in thine eyes. o. Liberty.
Shines that high light whereby the
world is saved
And. though thou slay us. we will
trust In theel"
