NEW YORK. Oct NO dead men will

Herbert Parsons. chairman OF the New
York Republican county committee, puts
through the plans which he now has IN
derway.
I've know" said Mr. Parsons today,
that Tammany hall intends fraud. To
meet IL. we have made the most thor
ough preparations ever known TO prevent
Illegal voting There has been popu-
lar impression that about 5000 fraudu-
lent votes are cast at each election. but
DOO0 would be enarer the truth. The
law requiring each voter 10 make his sig
nature has cut down the Illegal vote
wonderfully, but further improvements
are needed.
In the last session of the legislature
Tammany prevented US from perfecting
the Signature law. A deal was made IN
Washington last year. whereby some OF
the upstate Republican members OF the
assembly agreed 20 help Tammany al
Albany IL the Tammany members OF con-
gress would vote with the Republican
organization for the support OF Uncle
Joe Cannon and the house rules"
did State Chairman Woodruff know
Of this deal?-' Mt. Persons was asked

late to prevent IL going through, ne

HON. G. r. HUTCHENS.

Governor Brown has announced the ap-
pointment OF G. r. Hutchens. of Cedar
town. to succeed the late Joseph S. Tur-
ner on the prison commission.
The announcement did not come as 4
surprise Judge Turner's condition had

had a ripe experience at the bar At the
time OF his appointment Mr.. Hutchens
was regarded as one of the strongest can
didates for congress from the Seventh
district He made a good race for con-
gress some years ago. although entering
the campaign at a late date.
COMMISSION NEEDED LAWYER.
The fact that Mr.. Hutchens is lawyer
was one Of the factors which prompted
Governor Brown TO make the appoint
ment Judge Turner was the only lawyer

need OF legal advice.

HUDSON FETE BROKE
RECORD OF CROWDS
Two Million Visitors Saw the Gel
ebration, and transportation
Lines Hauled 15,000,000-Few
Arrests Made and No Accidents.

NEW YORK, Oct. Now that the
New York end of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration is practically closed, several
interesting facts are disclosed. ConserVa-
tive estimates indicate that there were
LOCO 600 persons residing at distant points
who were in the city all of the week
This is shown by the hotel registers and
the increase in boarding house business
On each individual day of the celebra-
ton there was another million which
came to the city from nearby, as shown
by the increase in railroad traffic. This
made at least 100000 visitors in the city
during the week, which is believed to be
the record for any city for any event.
The subway, which was constructed to
carry a maximum of 100000 passengers
daily, carried more than a million every
day during the week. The same figures
applied also to the elevated railroad and
at the end Of the week the two systems
had carried upward of 100000 persons
without a single interruption to the serv-
ice or an accident. This also breaks all
records for the transportation of pas
sengers.
FEW ARRESTS MADE.
A matter of comment has been the few
arrests made during the celebration
which averaged only from 10 to 20 a day.
OF the total number of arrests there were
only 81 on charges or picking pockets
the majority of arrests being for rowdy-
ism in the. crowds. Previous to the cele-
bration the police gathered in all sus.
pected persons and most OF them are sent
TO Blackwells island on charges of va
grancy until the festivities closed. The
assistance of detectives from all the large
cities in the country was of great serv-
ice to the local force. Such adequate ar
rangements were made previously by the
police that few criminals cared to run
the chance of coming here during the cell
ebration.
The emergency hospitals, established
where the crowds were greatest, treated
total of about $50 cases during the
week, nearly all of them being women
who had tainted in the streets. One man
was drowned when a launch was struck
by tug near the battIeship in the early
part of the week

The prison commission met Monday
morning and organized<by the election OF
G. S. Hutchens as chairman to succeed
Hon. Joseph Sidney Turner, whose death
took place last week.
Mr.. Hutchens was placed in nomination
by Capt Wiley Williams and his cleo
ton was unanimous.
Following the organization II was de-
cided to postpone the hearing of the Har-
per case until O'Clock Monday after
noon.
The first case TO come up was that Of
Henry F. Patterson, who was convicted
OF numbering his wife, and who has
served I3 years of a life sentence. Pat
terson was represented by Madison Bell,
who presented a voluimnous petition
signed by citizens of Gainesville, asking
that his sentence he commuted to pres
ent. service. In addition to the fact that
he has a daughter about IA years old who
needs his support. it is alleged he was
convicted on circumstantial evidence and
there is some doubt of his guilt.
The case of DR.. J. NJ. Elliott, of La
Grange, who killed George L. Rivers of
that city, was next taken up. Elliott
was represented by w. D. Mcneil, of La
Grange. and NJ. Z. Moody, of Macon. FL

a number of letters asking for executive
clemency.

cally the whole of Monday morning. The

NO STRIKE is EXPECTED.
Feeling Rife That Miners and Opera
tors Will Agree.

Scranton, Pa, March 24.-t is ex-
pected that when the tri-district con-
vention of anthracite mine workers ad-
journs late this afternoon the delegates
will have decided upon what policy to
pursue in their efforts to get some COP
cessions from their employers. There is
still strong feeling here that no
strike will be declared
During the brief session Of the con-
vention today, a delegate made a plea
for the adoption of more moderate
demands in the interests of peace,
and a resolution from one of the local
unions advocated the continuance of
work without agreement until the men
were better prepared to enforce their
demands. The speech for peace evoked
considerable applause. The resolution
was well received Another resolution
asked only~for recognition of the un-
ion, and to "check off" all resolutions
referred to the committee, which will
define the policy of the anthracite
men
While great secrecy is maintained by
the committee having in charge the
work of defining the policy to be pur-
sued by the anthracite miners in their
negotiations with the operators, the
Associated Press is able to state that
the committee is unanimous against
the extreme measure Of calling q

BEES CURE "oss,FlED MAN."
Old Farm Remedy for Rheumatism
Works Wonders In q Hospital.


New York, March 24.-Contaet with
the business end of a bee, as a cure
for rheumatism, is am old Wrinkle
among the farmers up in Connecticut,
but a new one at Roosevelt hospital,
where it is now being. tried.
The experiment. was proposed by Dr..
Arthur w. Swami, a member of the
hospital staff. Winter drove into his
wards some bad cases of rheumatism
of the gouty species. One man who
had it in acute form could not sleep,
arfd opiates gave him only temporary
relief. besides deanging him other
wise.
There were three chronic cases In
Well-advanced stages, one of them be-
ing so far advanced and involving so
MANY of the joints that the patient
was practically ossified. None of these
case would yield to the usual treat-
ment. Now the man with tine acute
case has returned home, ready TO go
to business again.
One of ,the chronic cases mas also
left the hospital, so much relieved dhat
he thinks he may resume light work,
and the other two cases show daily
Improvement
DR.. Swami then decided that the os-
sified man should be subjected to the
new treatment This patient could not
move. After three bees had done their
deadliest he surprised himself by
Struggling his shoulders. Nothing like
that had happened to him for so long
that he asked the doctors to let a
set of bees tackle his knee pans.

Politician and he had been in Des
measure indorsed by MacVicar should
receive careful attention before he
could support it. A few moments later
Senator Van Law made remar {
which brought Senator Gillilland to
feet again with the question whef :.
VanLaw was willing to trust the 8 s.
ent railroad commission.
"The people of Iowa might b n .tter
satisfied" replied VanLaw. g ter a
few more exchanges the m .sn was
carried and the three bill referred
back to the railroad conn.,. tee with
instructions to report on Thursday
Considerable opposition developed to
the idea of an enlarged railroad COM
mission with authority over city utfli-
ties. 1t is plain that such a bill takes
from cities all control over gas, cleo
trio light, and water companies and
street railways.
The 18th bill, consideration Of
which de )ped yesterdays contro-
versy, simply adds to the powers OF
the present railroad commission SUI
pervision of telegraph and telephone
lines and interurban railways. Opin-
ion seems to be that if any public util-
titles bill passes, it will be along the
lines of the Smith bill and not inter-
fere with present control of city util-
tiles.
The senate railroad committee by
vote of to decided to report the
Smith bill, enlarging powers of rail-
road commissions, by giving them SUI
peryision over telegraph and telephone
lines, and the Van Law bill giving Cit

CLARK LAUDS PAYNE
Minority Leader in House Makes
Speech Opposing Tariff Bill But
Com plimentins Work of Committee
Opponents Mastering Votes.

Washington March, 24.-Interest in
today's tariff discussion in the house
centered In the speech by Clark, of
Missouri, minority leader and ranking
democratic member of the committee
on ways and means. From the outset
Clark's remarks commanded attention
and at times he injected humor into
what he had to say and was frequently
interrupted by applause. For Payne
the minority leader had only words OF
praise, and his remarks in that con-
nection elected applause on both sides,
Payne's power of endurance, he de-
clared, were a marvel. and his nine
hours speech on the tariff had made
him great historical person. Clark
had kind word for every member OF
the committee on ways and means.
1--WE worked like galley slaves in try
ing to ascertain the truth" he added.
He denied the committee had bully
ragged any witnesses, as he said had
been charged, and declared that If any
witness had received an indecent word
in the committee room he had provoked
it by his own acts.
Will Poll the House.
An effort will be made in hope to
secure a record of votes on the sched-
ules which affect hides, bituminous
coal and lumber Republican members
who are opposed to the changes which
the Payne bill makes in these articles
have had several meetings. They be-
lieve the placing of hides on the free
list, the reduction of SO per cent In
duties on lumber, and the reciprocity
provision for free bituminous coal are
not desired by majority of the MEM
bers.
CLARK; good -naturedly remarked that
the democrats had scared Payne at
the last session, into admitting that
there would be tariff revision. But
at the bottom of the movement for re-
vision" was Roosevelt. 1 never had
any delusions about that man. he, said,
amid shouts of laughter "He is gone"
he said, in mock tones of sorrow. Ad-
dressing the republicans, he said:
Some of you hope he will never
come back. But my regret is that he
left at all, because if he had stayed
here, you would been in such a row
within ninety days that you would not
know whether you are republicans or
democrats" Speaking generally, Clark
said that he would not object to a
good stiff revenue tariff on anything
except salt. Il want in this connec-
ton to announce a general principle,
and that is, will not help any living
human to oppress the great masses of
people in this country" All plunderers
looked alike to him, he said. On ac-
count of the attitude he was taking, he
added, he might be retired to private
life. He would prefer not to retire.
"But let the time come sooner or later,
whenever I do go out, intend to de-
part with my mental integrity and my
self respect intact"
