had another interview with Grand vizier
Kiamil Pasha yesterday He declared
emphaticaly that Austria Hungary could
not tolerate the situation caused by the
boycott.
He explained that his proposed absence
from his post was for the purpose of con-
sulting with Baron Won Aerenthal, Austro-
Hungarian Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
concerning the boycott. and he hinted
that his absence might be prolonged un-
less the Porte remedied the situation.
He also intimated that he would not wait
many more days for Q solution OF the
difficulty,

all he could unofiicially and he hoped

The press has adopted more moderate
tone and the situation seems less strained.
VIENNA. Nov. 2a.-Despite the denials
that have been made 1t is certain that the
Austrian Government applied to the
French Government to use It's influence
against the Austrian boycott in Turkey.
The French Ambassador here. however,
declared that France was unable to in
tervene. His Governments reply stated
that IL regarded the boycott not as
political action but as purely economical
question in which it gould not meddle.

Use Fraudulent Checks at the Hofbrau
Arrested for Forgery.
Through the arrest Of two walters in
the Hofbrauhaus, at Thirtieth street and
Broadway, on Saturday evening a system
Of forged restaurant checks was un-
earthed which may have extensive rami-
fications. according to detectives employed
by the Whitney Duplicating Check Com
pany.
The forged checks had been used Appar-
emily to swindle patrons by making them
pay for choice steaks when they got only
the ordinary kind and for three portions
Of a salad when they got but two.
Detectives employed by the Fidelity
Secret Service have been working at the
Hofbrau for over month trying to get
on to the scheme. They found. they all
Iege. that an elaborate system Of duplicate
checks had been devised by some one and
that the checks were sold by the scrub
captain" as the assistant head waiter is
called to the other walters for rs cents
apiece. These checks were generally
used when steaks. salads or vegetables
were ordered.
The detectives engaged In ferreting out
the plan patronzed the restaurant extern
siveiy and noticed that some Of the walters
were fond of suggesting club steaks TO
those who appeared to be struggling over
the menu. When a club steak was or
dered the waiter brought a regular sirloin.

with some of the private sleuths, organized
two little dinner parties on Saturday
evening and when they got their checks
and had paid them with marked money
they pinched William Metz, q waiter, and
Herman Brokop, who they said had been
handing out the bogus checks.
As they started out Metz broke away
from them and dashed through the main
dining room, knocking over a table and
causing great ex element. He was caught
at Twenty ninth street and Sixth avenue.
A charge Of forgery In the third degree
was made against the two men. who we're
arraigned yesterday in the Jefferson
Market court and held for examination
Tomorrow. The detectives were unable
70 find out who was printing the bad
checks. The chsck system used at the
Hofbrau and some of the other Broadway
restaurants is a patented one, which
would make 1t unlawful for any one to
duplicate the checks.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 29.-Comptroller
Herman A. Metz of New York. who is in
Atlanta on business. talked to-day about

ber. he said:

whether that will be successful or what
it would mean. belong to the Kings
county Democratic organization that
Tammany is fighting. Heretofore New
York man has got the Mayors place and a
Brooklyn man the Comptroll ers office.
Now Tammany is wanting to get control
Of the whole city. That means they want
to control the State convention through
New York city.
They can't work II, though. The
Kings county organisation itself is strong
and there are 10000 independent votes
in Brooklyn that nobody can place.
These 90 600 can be depended on against
Tammany. They don't belong to any
party organization. They made Brook
lyn give the Democrats $1,000 majority
in one election. and In the next the ma
jority was about SO, 200 on the Republican
side. ....
'The fight between the Kings county
organization and Tammany Is serious,
Croker is back from Ireland. He may
take hand in it. but don't believe 80.
He's comfortably fixed on his estate in
Ireland and has retired from active
fighting. He has been in New York
only few days, though. and that Is not
sufficient time to judge just what interest
he will take in ths fight. Croker Is a
powerful man. He has a tremendous
personal following that he can swing
without turning a hair. His absence
in Ireland for the past few years has
not altered that at all. His supporters

81 CHINAMEN ESCAPE.
Break From Detention Shed and Flee 10
San Francisco Chinatown.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 2s,-Twenty-
three Chinese escaped from the Pacific
Mail detention sheds early this morning
and all except two got away.
In the big room at the dock where
Chinese immigrants are kept until their
cases are disposed Of in the Federal courts
there were lie Orientals, watched day and
night. Those who escaped removed q
door going into an adjoining hospital
and then sawed their way through the
bars and wire mesh covering window
that led to the roof. After that they
slid down a pipe to the street and made
for Chinatown. They were seen escaping
by Pacific Mail watchman, who gave the
alarm and captured two OF them. II is
evident there was collusion with outsiders,
as some American clothing was found on
the roof Of the shed. On September 0
eleven Chinese got away -four OF whom had
been ordered deported. The Pacific Mail
Company is responsible for any escape
and may be called upon to pay SIC. 500.
Two OF the Chinese who escaped vol
unfairly surrendered themselves at the
Mail dock later. They said they had
been forced to go with the others and that
the ringleaders had planned to kill the

Federal patronage even II Woodruff re-
mained In the race.
Mr. Woodruff did not retire without
impressing upon Mr.. Taft the importanoe
OF the strength behind his candidacy.
He bad tho Endorsement of the nineteen
Kings county legislators to begin with.
He believed that II he Rmained in the
race the fighting lines were to be drawn
between the State organization men with
anti-Roosevelt leanings on one side and
the Federal offioeholders and indepen-
dents who favored Roosevelts candidacy
on the other.
In the event OF suoh an alignment Mr..
Woodruff expected to have the support
OF Odell, William Barnes. Jr., OF Albany.
Frank 3. Black of Troy, Francis Hen
bricks of Syracuse, possibly John Raines
and one or two other leaders. In fact
IL Woodruff had remained in the Sena-
torial race a combination of these bosses
electing Woodruff's successor as chair
man Of the State committee aud obtain
ing control of the organization. With
these State leaders it would have been a
case Of give and take Odell would have
sharpened his knives again and gone out
after Herbert Parsonss scalp in New
York county.
Woodruff refers in his statement to his
belief that 1t would have been fight be-
tween the ST and Federal forces when
he expresaedW desire for harmonious
party action. Woodruff apparently be-
lieves that In he cage of Q showdown he
would ba W. hshap baotSad hxz fha natrnna ON
Of the Compttoller's Office, by that con-
trolled by the Lieutenant-Governor and
John Raines, and by that Of the State
organization
In short, Mr.. Woodruff figured that he
had enough support In sight to kick up
mighty big row and he regards his action
as magnanimous. Mr.. Taft apparently
agrees with him.
The State Chairman will remain here
until Tuesday.

[By Associated Press,l

CAMP ATASCADERO, Oct. 16.-The
most successful wireless work during
the present army maneuvers resulted
today when the semi-permanent sta
ton erected by First Lieutenant Paul
w. Beck, chief signal officer, heard
messages exchanged between Bremen
ton navy yard and some other station

This is the record for long distance
receiving with the field pack set
Bremerton is over 1900 miles distant
and the sets are designed for use over
less than one-twelfth that distance.
When questioned about the remark
able results. Lieutenant Beck stated
they were obtained by simply doubling
the antenna spread, adding fifteen feet
to the height of the mast and ground
ing on a water pipe.
Tonight sending tests are being made.
and it is confidently expected Goat
Island will be reached.
The previous receiving record for
similar apparatus is 100 miles, from
Nantucket to Havana, Cuba, made In
1906 by the signal corps under Captain
George Gibbs. Captain Gibbs still
holds the long distance sending record
for pack sets with 100 miles, from
Camp Columbia, Cuba, to Key West.
If Goat Island is reached then both
the sending and receiving records for
field wireless will come to the Pacific
coast
