Subject Discussed by League of Munt-
 sctpalaieG.
 0paaha. Qet The 2 ttsgme Defcre fha ' f.AaRue of American MunicfpaIi- ties today, was the liquor problem as it affected metropolitan cities. It was an Interesting subject and was led by Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee.
 Among the cities represented in the discussion were Milwaukee. Atlanta. New Orleans, Dubuque, and St, Louis No, topic yet brought before the city officials has received closer attention.
 One of the interesting addresses be- fore the League today was that of Mayor W. R.. Joyner, of Atlanta, Ga.. who gave figures from the police court records and from the city treasurer's office concerning the effect of prohi- hilton in his city. They showed a falling off of more than fifty per cent in the arrests for drunkenness and nisdemeanors primarily attributed to drink since the establishment of pro- hibition.
 Mayor David S. Rose. of Milwaukee followed quoting figures to show that the number of arrests in Atlanta at present exceeds those in Milwaukee where beer and liquor are sold. He maid a glowing tribute to the order. iiness of his own city.
 Silas Cook, Mayor of East St. Louis, was elected President. Montreal was selected as the meeting place for 1909.

 National Chairman Mack of the Dem ocratic National Committee. today made an attack on corporation affiliations of George R. sheldon, Treasurer of the Republican committee, charging that Mir. Sheldon was at this time connected with no tless than seventeen financial companies. Mir. Mack made the fol- lowing statement:
 tions of George B. Sheldon. Treasurer of the Republican Committee. for the past ten years, mako interesting read ing, in view of the recent developments in the campaign.
 q wish to recall in this connection that because of these very associations of his. Governor Odell, in 1902, refused to permit the party leaders to put MT. Sheldon in nomination for Lieutenant Governor.
 Governor O'Deil at that time de- clared that he would not accept the re-nomination for head of the State ticket if Sheldon were named as his running mate. But while the Repub- lican party has refused to put up Mir. Sheldon's name for a public office IL has for the identical reasons made him campaign fund collector.
 "Most of the corporations of which Mr. Sheldon Is identified are capital iZed for millions. How much of their stock Is of the liquid variety can be easily ascertaIned. Yet Mir. Roosevelt has defended him and his resignation was not demanded when MT. Du Pont was invited to step down and out.
 MT. Du Pont was only identified with one trust, while Mir. Sheldon is at the present time intimately identi- fled with no less than seventeen prom inent financial concerns
 Opposed to Union Labor.
 One of these, the Bethlehem Steel Company. does not employ union lA- bor and has opposed the organization of it's employees for the past sixteen years.
 MT. Sheldon is a director of that company. He Is also treasurer and director of the North American Com pany, capitalized for s3O.0o0,0OO. a concern known as the Mystery of Wall Street" It is but a few years
