tai the conviction of success at the
approaching congressional elections is
strong. Every indication that between
now and 1912 the democrats will carry
on organization work as never before.
AS to the comparative dissension
among democrats and republican SEN

success in the congressional elections
of 1910, Bailey of Texas. addressing
the republican side of the senate, said:

no longer any democratic party

IS no longer any democratic party"
Figures and facts stamp the lie in a
striking manner upon such statements.
Here are some Illustrations of the con-
tention there is more dissension in the
republican party than in the demo
cratic:
1. When, on March Is, a vote was
taken in the house on rules 90 demo-
Gratis voted with the republicans This
fact was heralded to every village in
the country as showing how badly the
democratic membership of the house
was divided. In the same vote 81 re-
publicans voted with the democrats.
Thirty-one is more than 23, yet the re-
publican press and republican press
associations ignored the split in the
republican ranks almost entirely.
2. More than half of the 90 demo-
Gratis have admitted their mistake, and
will be found in line in the future.
Nearly every one of the 81 republicans
are still out, and their number is in
creasing.
3 In the vote on speaker every
democrat present voted for Champ
Clark. Twelve republicans who were
present voted against Uncle Joe. This

ship subsidy bill by three majority.
This success meant saving to the
government of $3,60O.00O the first year
the measure would have been in effect.
The democrats also succeeded in hav-
ing annual salaries amounting to, $343,-

after they had been added to the bill

COUNCILMEN FAVOR
GRAVITY SYSTEM

The city council is coming back
to the gravity water system grad
ually.
At a meeting of the special wa
ter committee last night the gen.
eral opinion was that the present
we'll and Glover creek scheme will
not do. 1T is a white elephant"
said DR.. Armstrong.
The city has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars for digging
wells and pumping machinery,
with reservoirs, and the results are
not satisfactory, according to the
councilmen.
Another fortune is now to be
squandered on Maplewood springs
to get water for next year If the
present scheme goes through.
Then the city will go for tho
gravity system and settle the wa
ter question.
II am ready to vote for the
gravity system now" said Russell,
this morning.
so am l." said Wilkeson. This
water question is farce the way
it has been handled"
Stewart, Armstrong, Haw-
thorne, Brand, Giblett and Eber-
Iy have also declared their readi-
ness go for the gravity system
without further parleying on the
water question. Three or four
others also, it is believed, are on
the gravity water wagon now,
and clear majority appears to
be in favor of preparing at once
for the gravity system.
The special committee last
night concluded that the city will
be up against it again next sum-
mer, and inclined to the opinion
that the only thing to do is to
spend another 100000 and
bring in Maplewood springs to
tide over until the city can get
the gravity system built.
Whether this will be done or
whether the city will get buy at
once and rush the gravity system
remains to be seen.

underworld. they won't COM

Nevertheless the hall is making
an elaborate plan for repeating,
using one particular man for each
false name. This will necessitate
the intelligent support of the big
criminal gangs, and, as IL to en-
courage the gang leaders to loyal
support, Monk" Eastman, the
most notorious and vicious GRIM
inal gangster in the history of the
East Side, has just been released
from Sing Sing, having been par
doned because of his exemplary
prison conduct" and without con-
sideration of his previous be-
havior."
Every lynx-eyed, ballot-stuffing
villain in New York knows the
significance of the pardoning of
the monkey-faced Eastman, who
was the first general leader of the
lawless East Side gangs. First, a
thief, then a white slave trader on
4 large and cheap scale, Pagan
trainer of pickpockets, this infa-
nous and brutal ruffian led Tam
many's criminal forces in the cam
paign of 1901 and established eff
ficiency of the present gang sys-
TEN.
Monk was arrested many times
for violent offenses, but always
escaped easily-even murder
charge-until, in 1904, he was ar
rested for robbery and shooting at
policemen in one of the most
crowded streets of the city. They
had to send him up for that.
At a former trial it was brought
out that Eastman ran a sort of
bandit bureau where thugs might
De hired for any evil purpose.
Among the present influential
gang leaders on the East Side are
;wo young Italians, calling them
selves Paul and Jim Kelly. They
operate tough saloons at various
times, deal in white slaves, are
frequently arrested, but always
manage to escape. Within week
Paul Kelly was involved in a vi
cious stseet fight.
Last winter the Jimmy Kelly
gang had a ball in Tammany hall
After the dance Kelly and others
of his gang entered saloon,
"Humpty" Jackson, another noto-
rious gang leader, now in Sing
Sing for robbing express wagons.
and members of his gang, also
entered the saloon, and, sore on
Kelly because he was becoming a
|Tammany favorite, drew revolvers
and began firing. Kelly and an
other man were wounded and
Jackson and his men escaped.
Since then there has been fierce
feud between these gangs, and
there have been many shootings
on the East Side, several of the in
jured being innocent bystanders.
