Tammany Hall. The Peerless
Leader visited the house and his
coming was the occasion OF an
enthusiastic though informal re-
ception in the room reserved Tor
the reception OF members of the
press on the Democratic side OF
the House.
There is comment insome quar-
ters away from Washington be-
cause there is little written from
here OF Democratic politics but
there is really very little to write.
The Democrats in Congress seem
to be almost unanimously of the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan will be
nominated and the reports which
reach here from the vario u g
states certainly show q remarka..
ble. strength for the great Nebras
kan. Occasionally, of course,
there is talk of some other cnndi-
date. A Minnesotean will talk
enthusiastically of Johnson, or
a New Yorker OF Gray, and be.
cause there is so little doing in
a political way, their interview
ers receive a prominence in the
press to which they are by no
means entitled. There is, obvious
ly, a faction in the Democratic
party whose cry is "Anyone but
Bryan, precisely as in the Re-
publican party there is a faction
whose cry is "Anyone but Taft"
but in both parties it is the same
sort OF q faction, the conserya-
tive, letIwel enough h.alone crowd,
and this seems to be o bad year
for that sort sof. O crowd. The
Democrats tried the conserva.
tive candidate four years ago,
when they accepted Judge Park.
er at the dlctation of the N e W
York Leaders, but they do n O t
seem disposed to report the ex-
pertinent.
For q time it looked as if it
was any mans 8 game in the Re
publican party and certainly the
anti Roosevelt and the anti Taft
faction did include some, of the
loudest shouters in the party.
But as the days go by and they
demonstrate that their capacity
ends in shouting and that they
are not the men who control the
party, or who can capture the
delegates. Senator Foraker still
talks of his showing and Of the
number OF delegates he will have,
but sensible men only listen and
laugh.

The Importance Of the Prohibition E.
~ lectiOu'

lpCtlOu'
Rev. P. L. Murphy. in Catawba
County News. ii
One of the most important elec
tions held for years is the cleo
tion to be held May 26th, on
prohibition. 1t is important be-
cause the suppression Of the IL
quor traffic is important. 1t is
important because the present
status of the temperance cause
is at stake. Lose this election and
the cause is retarded ten years.
1t is trhe that the present condi-
tion of temperance territory is
not to be effected by this election
and it may be true that the sue
cess of the cause ia assured, but
is that a reason why we should
sit down with folded hands and
do nothing? l have seen the Dem
ocratic party in this county in
this county hold the most stenthu-
siastic meetings when there was
positively no danger of the par
ty losing the election, and On the
other hand | have seen the Re-
publican party hold meetings
eqNAMy enthusiastic when there
WAS DO shadow OF q chance for
Ancce Shall we not learn from
|these4Rrties? The following from
the Mfsbyterian Standard is
werthySof consideration.
eLet no one forget thegreatim
portanca of'the Prohibition Eler-
tion. Nearly all of our subscri.
bers are going to vote for it. We
know their principles and their
,, fixed resolves. What we want to
do is to prevail upon every one
to enter energetically upon the
work OF getting somebody else to
do as they are going to do. We
want to see decided enthusiasm
enkindled. 1t is very important
that the majority should be a
very large one, The effect OF the
election will thereby be so much
the more destructive OF the vice
we want to slay in our State"
This is notapartisan question.
1t is moral question, pure and
simple. Let us keep the question
clear in mind. 1t is this: Shall the
manufacture and sale of liquor
be legalized in North Carolina?"
That is the question we are call
ed upon to settle at the polls on
May 26th. All who are in favor
of legalizing it, let them say So.
That is the issue that is dividing
us now. The saloon is the enemy
of the church. There is nothing
in common between them. The
church lifts men up, the saloon
drags them down; the C h u r C h
makes men sober the saloon
makes them drunk; the church
advocates virtue, the saloon fos-
ters vice; the church prepares
mentor q home IN Gods pure
and sinless heaven, the saloon
sends men to an eternal hell Fell
low citizens. that is the question.
Which side are you on? If you
are for legalizing the saloon, say
so; If you oppose it, say so. Don t
dodge the question. Your respon
sibility can not be shifted upon
any other by saying 81 DON t
care how the thing goes" He
that isnot for us is against u.s.

loon on the other. Both claiming

1t was only a chimney fire, but
fact that 1t was in a dwelling at III

struction to impede the passage of the

Company No. 20. which traversed sew
eral blocks of the crowded street.
When the firemen reached the house
they found il an easy task to extin-
guish the flames. There was no dam

Until recently the most difficult task
for the drivers of the fire department

with blockades of huckster wagons,

hair and burned the flesh from her
feet.
The father saved himself and MS
eldest son, 6 years old, after flames a
encircled him, burning off his hair n
his beard.
Fire escapes real and front, were
jammed with tenants. and still others
were pressing forward In an effort to
escape from the smoke-filled house.
The fremen ran up ladders and as
sisted the frightened people to the
ground.
The Chesners had tried to make their
way down the stairs when the fire
escapes were found filed, and it was
in the halls that the two boys lost
their lives.

Frieda Coates, alias Frieda Wagner,

a long wild goose chase today when she
telephoned into police headquarters that
a murder was being perpetrated near
Trowbridge's Hotel, on Frelinghuysen
avenue. Detective Sergeant Farrell
rushed out and held up Doremus &
Doremus's automobile with the request
that he be carried to the scene. Two
cops, Schott and Downing, from the
First Precinct. were rushed out to
make the run by trolley.
At about the second mile the tire
blew off the front wheel of Farrelrs
auto. and he had to wait for a a 7
The patrolmen had better luck, for
they met one of the hearses from

When the blueooats at last arrived
on the scene Frieda met them, all ex-

baldi avenue, where she was sure they
would find Mrs. Rosa Patrolla at her
last gasp.
With a final squirt the officers rushed
bravely to the r~escue-only to be met by

Differences of opinion on the question
of instructions among the delegates
were adjusted previous to the opening
of the convention, the committee on
resolutions having accepted a plank in
which reference was made to h strong
sentiment of many delegates in favor
Of an Endorsement of Secretary Taft as
presidential candidate, but which de-
clared that uncertainty as to whether
a resolution of preference could be car
ried in the convention would be likely
to. lead to a contest which would be
injurious to the welfare of the party.

DINE GONE, WIFE
ACCUSES HUSBAND;
B|FF! THEN COURT
Huber Sorry He Lost His Tenn
per ard Says He'll Be
Good Hereafter.

Judge Herr was called upon today in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court to de-
eide whether a man has the right to
strike his wife three times with the
buckle end" of a leather strap in a
quarrel aver a ten-cent piece. After
listening to the tale of a repentent citi
zen who used the strap, he passed the
case along to the Grand Jury to de-
eide.
The trouble arose, according to the
husband, Joseph Huber. of SO Broome
street, over the gas bill. His wife,
Anna, he said. liked to pay the gas bill,
and always insisted upon that she be-
lieved her constitutional rights. Ac-
cordingly, in the full enjoyment of the
same, she went to the office of the
Public Service Corporation, ~liquidated
the debt and returned home. She then
discovered hat ten cents WAS missing.
She accused me of taking the ten
cents,"f he told the court, and |
wouldn't stand for it. One word
brought on another. and almost before
I knew it, we were in a fracas. I'm
sorry ] struck her, and I'll never lift
my hand against her again, if you'll
let me off this time, judge. I didn't try
to throw her out of a window, as she
charged in the warrant"
Mrs. Huber was not in court. Huber
promised to appear when wanted.

new YORK MAKES
NATIONAL ISSUE
OF PASSA|C SEWER
Secretary of Commission De-
clares Gotham Doesn't Know
Why It's Grumbling.

New York doesn't know why it is
gruinbling. The business men of the
metropolis have taken their grievance
to Congress and are going to make a
national issue of the practise of dump
ing sewage into the streams of the
country, thinking, apparently, that they
will in some tanner, known only to
themselves, check the construction of
the Passaic Valley trunk sewer. AS a
matter of fact, when the sewer is built,
conditions in New York harbor will be
better than they are today"
This statement was made today by
John s. Gibson, secretary of the Pas
sale Valley Sewage Commission, in his
office in the Prudential building. He
said that the repeated assaults of the
New York Chamber of Commerce
wearied him.
The latest move of that organization
is manifested in a campaign under
taken by Edward Hatch, jr., chairman
of the pollution committee of the Mer-
chants Association, against the defile-
ment of State waters, New York bay in
particular, by sewage. Dispatches from
Washington said that Mr.. Hatch was
preparing to make the issue a national
one, with President Roosevelt's permis-
sion. The President is considering the
question.
Mr.. Hatch is quoted as saying that
governmental aid is needed in saving
the lives of $4,000 persons who die an
nually from typhoid fever contracted by
drinking polluted water. He calls at
tention to some 1900, 900, 900 gallons of
filth discharged into New York harbor
every twenty-four hours. The Bronx
valley sewer contributes to the daily
quota, he admits. but New Jersey is
planning, he says, to add to the supply
and should be checked by legislation.
