SOC|ALIS ARE
ANGEREO BY
REFUSAL
To Let Them Have Local Opera
House For Meeting
ENGAGED IT LAST MAY
Were to Have Speakers Here of Nat
ionaI Reputation for Public
Lectures

The local organization of Socialists
is a good deal upset and not little
angry because of getting notice that
they cannot nire the local opera house
at any price for lectures by speakers
of national reputation, including Hon.
Morris Hillquit and Rose Pastor
Stokes
AS long ago as last May local Soc
ialists engaged the opera house for
the evening of October 16, for these
addresses. Recently they had been
getting ready for the meeting and had
announced their speakers.
Monday night of this week they
were notified that they could not have
the opera house. The reason assign
ed was that it is not leased for public
meetings because of the damage that
such an assemblage does the house
Attention was called to the fact
that the house had been leased for a
meeting in the interest of road build
ing and for other public purposes
other than theatrical attractions but
the local representatives of Henry w.
Putnam, who owns the house, posi-
lively refused to let them have it at
any price, even if the lectures were
made paid affair.
The Socialists took this to mean
that they could not have it because
they were Socialists and will have
their meeting at Morgan park.
Mr.. Putnam's local agents say that
the fact that the mouse was wanted
nv Socialists did NOT nava anvthino
to do with the matter and that they
were simply following out their invar-
liable rule of not letting the house fol-
political gatherings of any kind They
have heretofore refused both political
parties even when the speakers were
to be among the most prominent men
of the state and nation. and had even
refused to allow a governor of Yer
mont to speak there during a political

HEARST NAMED FOR
MAYOR BY HIS
ADMIRERS
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting De-
mands That He Run
HEARST WAS NOT PRESENT
Had Previously Announced That He
Would Support Judge Gaynor
the Tammany Candidate

New York, Oct. Civilian Ran
dolph Hearst, once defeated for may
or of the city by George b. Mcclellan
and later defeated by Charles e.
Hughes for governor of the state, was
nominated for mayor tonight at a
mass meeting of 1000 of his admirers
at Cooper Union. This action was
taken despite his authoritative state
ment last evening that he would not
be candidate. Resolutions were
adopted directing that committee OF
five be appointed TO take steps for
the naming of an entire city county
and borough ticket, which will be
placed in nomination by petition
Tonights meeting was called, ac-
cording to its leaders, with view to
showing Mr.. Hearst that opinion
among the followers in the old hide
pendence league was so strongly in
favor of his running again as to over
ride even his positive declaration
The hopes of the leaders were more
than realized-every seat in the big
hall was filed, and when after half
dozen opening speeches, Mr.. Hearst
was formally nominated. for mayor,
onstration which lasted twenty min
utes.
No indications as to what Mr..
Hearsts attitude would be toward
the action OF the meeting was receiv-
ed before adjournment was taken.
The third party, wr,ch is thus sud
denly projected into New Yolks mum
icipal campaign, viii not DO known as
the independence League, but will
probably bear the title Citizens Par
ty" or some similar designation.
The platform as indicated by the
speakers will express distrusl of the
intentions OF both the Republican and
Democratic parties. which have al
ready nominated full local tickets de-
claring that a silent alliance exists
between Tammany and the local Re
publican government under either an
impossibility. 1t will declare in
strong terms for municipal ownership
of subways, economy OF administra-
tion and adequate school and transit
facilities.

After stating that as nearly as he
could recollect 1t was as early as 1890
that he turned his attention o improv-
ing the steam engine and applying it
to the purpose of propelling boats,
Capt. Morey refers to his first expert
ments on the Connecticut and then
says: Having made sundry improve
ments in the engine | went to New
York and applied the power to a wheel
in the stern, by which the boat was
impelled at the rate of about five mi

Mr.. Stevens and others went with me
in the boat from the Ferry as far as
Greenwich and back, and they ex-
pressed great satisfaction at her per

According to Capt. Morey, Fulton
and Livingston suggested changes in
the arrangement of the machinery
and the paddlewheels, which he effec-
ted Livingston offered him $1,000
for the patent right on the North Riv-
er and to Amboy but he refused it.
In June 1897. at Bordentown on the
Delaware, he built steamboat pro-
PEELED by two wheels, one on each
side. The shaft. he wrote, ran
across the boat, with a crank in the
middle, worked from the beam OF the
engine with shackle bed $50 called

as that now used in the large steam
boats. The boat was openly exhibit

"Dr. B. Allison, writing from Wash

Morey concerning the exhibition at

for want of public funds that we did
not then bring the boat into public
use.
Capt. Morey received patents for
the application of steam TO propel
boats in 1895. 1893 and 1900 The
original (1795) is in possession of the
New Hampshire Historical Society in
Concord On March l6, 1888, the Peo-
and Patriot of Concord printed a list

The boat was sunk between 1920
and 1925. by filling it with stones in
about eighteen feet of water, on a
soft bottom in the midst of very

The sudden GOODNESS exhibited tow /

CHAPTER VII.

DIssEcTs A MANS HEART. Granny Coughs curious request that
 his denunciation of the fair Lydia
 should be kept a secret aroused with in me increased suspicion. Why was he, so feverishly anxious that none should know of his anta-
 gonism toward the woman save my self?
 What could it mean? There was
 mystery in his attitude. And yet when came to reflect the woman dead at Redcliffe Gardens was certainly not
 the woman he had pointed out to me as the Roumanian whose presence in Bucharest had been found undesir- able by his excellency the Minister Soutzo! There was mystery-deep, un- fathomable.
 I looked straight into the big, open face. About his lips was nervous keeping back from me something he wished to tell me. I felt sure. For a long time he smoked on. longed to ask him certain questions had filled him with such resentment. At last, in. order to approach the sub- ject, I asked:
 .Is Garshore still at the Cecil?" sT don't know" he snapped 'The
 fellows movements are no lconcern of mine He didn't play the game with me, and I have no further use for CUTS of that breed" NO, l Quite dSISS Oio AciO~ AAo served you a very scurvy trick"
 And did me out of what was just within my grasp? he declared. IT
 I had had no sconscience could have used that woman as a lever to obtain the concession from Soutzo. But I've
 rSever, to my knowledge, served H
 woman low down trick-and hope Phil I never shall.'
 "Now Garshore has got the conces- sion signed, he'll drop her acquaint- ance I suppose" was my remark.
 "Of course" he laughed. "She, no doubt believes in him. Women are so easily misled by flattery and a lit tie attention. But I admit he acted very cleverly and it only shows the fellows cunning. He got all the de- tails of the business from me and then went to work himself
 You're a little too fond of speak. ing about your own affairs, Granny" said.
 'sPerhaps I am. I'm fond of be- lievinc that every man is made like myself" He laughed, blowing the smoke from his lips.
 "So Gertie is still at Brighton?" l remarked, turning the conversation in to a different channel. "Yes dear little soul She's growing into a charming child" he said, pleasant. contented expression over
 spreading his face. "As you know, Il put her into family-tradespeople they are-living alone at Hove They send her to a very good school and she's getting on capitally- See. she's been showing me today how she can write and draw and the big fellow pulled from his breast pocket a oiece
