walk Nuisance.

Mayor Mcclellan to-day signed The
Evening Worlds ordinance abol!shing
the ticket Spectator nuisance.
He vetoed, however, the ordnance
passed at the same time making it
illegal to sell theatre tickets In hotels
At the same time he signed the or
dinance that will sound the farewell to
the ticket Spectator the Mayor vetoed
the Anti-Noise ordinance, which re-
ferred TO fiat wheels on cars,
The Mayor regards the ordinance re-
lating TO the abolition of the sale OF
tickets In hotels ana the provision for
having the price of each ticket plainly
stamped on the face of tie ticket as
unconstitutional.
The veto OF the auti-Ioisc ordinance
about Hat car wheels, loose trucks and
other car noises Was caused through the
failure of the ordinance to include i'm
portant provisions. Notably there was
no provision relating to the carriage of
great pieces of steel, Orders and~othcr
metal through the streets, one OF the
most annoying matchmaking devices,
the Mayor thinks.

out Of the alleged boycott of the Buck

HASKELL HAS oulr7
Washington Hears That Democratic
Treasurer Initiates Foraker.

tVVAouVGV bUulk0ACS W anvil
Washington. Sept. e4.-It is reported
on the authority of man high in
democratic councils that the resigna-
tion of Governor Charles N. Haskell
already is In the hands Of the demo-
cratic national committee, and has
been since he left Chicago several days
ago for Oklahoma.
This same man was authority for
the statement that as early as the
Denver convention certain democratic
leaders of national reputation learned
Governor Haskell had figured in GER
tain corporation matters in the past
which made it inconsistent for. him to
appear as one of the leaders of an anti
corporation campaign.
These men also understood that Gov
ernor Haskell had been close to the
STANDARD OH company, that, while he
lived in Ohio, he was a business asso-
ciate Of Senator Brice, and railroad
promoter in Ohio and New York. These
democratic leaders were concerned.
therefore, when Bryan selected Haskell
for treasurer Of his campaign COM
mittee.
At the first suggestion from Hearst
of the relations of Haskell to Standard
Oil, leaders OF democracy told Bryan
he would find it hard to defend his
treasurer and at the same time Gov
ernor Haskell was advised to place
his resignation at the disposal of the
national committee that 1t might meet
any contingency that, might arise
1t is the understanding of the men
here, who are familiar with the facts,
that Governor Haskell left for his home
in Oklahoma with no intention OF re-
turning to his duties as treasure
Upon the known facts rege
Haskell resignation is based the inser-
esting theory that Mr.. Bryan Will, as
soon as he has read President Roose-
yelt's letter addressed to him today,
announce Mr.. Haskells withdrawal In
8. way to derive as much political ad-
vantage as possible from the situation
which was forced upon him.
