SENATOR p. H. M'CAnnEN. .--'
His condition is extremely critical, and
the doctors say they fear he cannot re-
cover.
Senator McCarren had been very
conspicuous in the political fights now
on, and his loss to the Democrats as q
campaign manager is very serious.
McCarren's lieutenants were shocked
at the suddenness of his attack, and
realizing the Importance of having an
immediate substitute to take up the
leadership Arthur c. Salmon, treasurer
of the Kings county Democratic COM
mittee, issued call for meeting OF
the county executive committee today
to take action on the matter.
Senator McCarren had not been we'll
for three or four days, but had kept
the fact from all but his most intimate
friends. To most of his political as
Sociates he had declared he never felt
better in his life
After attending a meeting of the
Democratic executive committee the
senator was taken very i'll Mt his hotel.
DIR. Bierwirth made quick eXam1na-
ton and diagnosed the trouble as
acute appendicitis. Senator McCarren
then asked that his personal physician,
DR.. Peter Hughes, be sent for. DIR.
Hughes corroborated DR.. Bierwirth's
diagnosis, and the two physicians to-
gether advised that an operation be
performed Immediately.
4 taXicab was called and Senator
McCarren placed inside and driven to
the ST. GATHERINGS hospital. The ply
sicians at the hospital agreed with
those who had previously examined
the senator that an operation was
urgent.
The senator's mother, Mrs. Mary
McCarren, who is now eighty-four
years old, lives in the family home at
81 Berry street, Brooklyn. She has
been ill and failing rapidly for long
time. and the family did not think 1t
advisable to tell her of her sons ILL
ness. An aunt of the senator, Mrs.
Bernard ]. McCann, and his nephews,
David and Edward McCarren, with
| their sister, went to the hospital and
remained there waiting for news.
! Senator McCarren is in his siXty-first
year. He was born on July Is, 1S49.

WOMEN'S CRUSADE
Mrs. Clarence MaCkay Out
Against Militant Methods.
PUTS BAN ON MRS. PANKHURST
Says It Is Not Necessary to Go Out
on Street Corners and Shrek
Out Propaganda to the
Passerby.
PUTS BAN ON MRS. PANKHURST

New York, Oct 14.-Mrs. Clarence
H. Mackay, president of the Equal
Franchise society, announces that she
will refuse to introduce Mrs. Pank-
hurst, the English suffragette, when
the latter appears In Carnegie hall to
advocate an aggressive crusade for
woman suffrage.
Mrs. Mackay at the same time issued
statement defining the purposes and
the position of the Equal Franchise
society, in which she deplores militant
methods and declares that the move
men for franchise for women is not
fight for rights, but merely the log
ical evolution of justice. The state
ment in part says:
I'VE feel that to secure the franchise
for women it is not necessary for us
to initiate methods which are being
used in other countries. We shall
achieve our aim without sensational
ism. l will not indorse the militant
methods. 1t has not seemed necessary
in the past and | DO not think it will
be necessary in the future for us to go
out to the street corners and shrek
out the propaganda to the passerby.
I'VE do not think that as an organ
ization we have right to demand an
| expression of opinion from the candi-
dates at this coming election. We
prefer to leave politics alone until
our sex is sharing the responsibility
main reason for suffrage is community
| of interest between the sexes. 1t is
not in any sense a fight for rights, but
the logical evolution Of justice.
"yt las been repeatedly said to me
by men in public life and men in pri-
vate life that when the women of the
| United States unite in demanding the
vote they will get 1t. And l think that
is perfectly true and that therefore
what Is needed to further the suffrage
cause is to give all sorts and kinds Of
women the opportunity of listening to
speakers who will explain just what
the suffrage will mean to us all.
1--WE have but to plead our cause
without raising our voice to those men
and women who are not with us. We
can always assume that they are not
willfully ignorant of what woman suf-
rage should mean. We want them to
appreciate the fact that throughout
this country the strongest suffragists
are these women who devote their best
energies toward the developing of their
children in order to make them citi-
zens worthy of our great country.
"Among the most recent additions to
our membership are Mrs. William
Schiefilin, Mrs. Milton Barger, Mrs.
Rudolph Schirmer, Mrs. Archibald AL
exander, Mrs. Everett Colby, Mrs.
Richard Stevens, Mrs. Walter May
nard Miss Spence, Mrs. Paul Morton,
Miss Elizabeth Burchenal and Miss
Dorothy Whitney"

JOINS IN ACCUSING GAYNOR.
Assistant District Attorney Says Judge
Aided Race Track Man.

Aided Race Track Men.
New York, Oct. 14.-In signed
statement Assistant District Attorney
Robert H. Elder of Brooklyn corrobo-
rated the charge made by William NJ.
Wins that Justice Gaynor, Democratic
candidate for mayor conspired and
consulted with Senator Patrick Fl.
McCarren and Eugene Wood to nullify
the race track anti-gambling law.
Elder charges that Justice Gaynor
plotted with Wood, a political lobby
ist, and McCarren. political boss and
race track patron, to bring up an 'ar-
ranged or test, case on habeas
corpus writ to be heard before Gay
nor. on which a decision would be
handed down legalizing the laying
down of bets.
That the efforts of Elder and his
assistants to have real case on which
to obtain decision were foiled by the
race track forces is charged by Elder.
who tells in detail of the plottcrs'
struggle to have Gaynor personally
pass upon any arranged" action.
Elder says further that he heard
from two sources. one OF which. he
says, is a public official, that GayDor
had been in conference with McCar-
rem and Wood and that Gaynor's ac-
tions in cases antedating the race track
litigation made Elder suspicious of the
Justices interest in the litigation.

VANDERBILT CONTROL STANDS
Harriman's Place In Central Board
Taken by Hushitt.

New York, Oct. 14.-Three corpora
tions with which E. II. Hartman was
connected as director elected sue
cessors to him. On the Pacific Coast
board John l. Waterbury was chosen.
Mr.. Waterbury is president Of the
Manhattan Trust company, the Chase
National bank, the International Mer-
camille Marine and Louisville and
Nashville.
In Western Union the three new d.
rectors are Alvin w. Krech, Edward
II. Jeffery and Kingdom Gould. Signif-
icant of the extent Of Mr.. Harriman's
personal influence and its passing with
him was the election Of Marvin Hugh
lit as his successor in New York Gen.
tral.
1t was in New York Central that Mr..
Hartman made the most important
extension of his influence in the year
preceding his death, but the election
OF Mr.. Hughitt shows that the Wander
bilts still control the road.

MANY ABANDONED FARMS.
Secretary Wilson Sees Examples OF
Poor Farming In New York State.

Secretary Wilson Sees Examples Of
Poor Farming In New York State.
Utica, N. Y, Oct. 14.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson is making an au-
tomobile tour of New York state for
the purpose Of discovering if possible
why there are so many abandoned
farms In the state and what plan can
be adopted to remedy this condition,
which appears to be alarming.
Secretary Wilson said that in the
trip from Albany to Utica he had nev-
er seen so many examples Of poor
farming. The farms were all right, he
was convinced, but the farmers were
wrong.
at was beautiful country that we
passed through" he said, "but the
farms generally did not show prosper
ity. 1 saw hardly any sheep on the
hillsides. Next to the COW the sheep is
the most profitable domestic animal.
Many of the districts looked depopu-
lated. We saw plenty Of children in
the villages, but few in the rural re-
gions. The country looks deserted. In
fact, interest in agriculture appears to
have declined In New York state to a
great extent"

HOTEL MANS STRANGE DEATH
Mrs. HippoIyte Dubois Says Husband
Committed Suicide.

Hackensack, n. J., Oct. 14.-Hippo-
lyte Dubois, who for several years
conducted a hotel in New York. died
on lonely part of Hudson terrace,
near Fort Lee, under peculiar circum-
stances.
Mrs. Ella Dubois, his wife, was with
him at the time he died, and her at
tempt to escape to New York without
having notified the authorities landed
the woman in the detention room of
the Hackensack Jail.
1t was near midnight when Mrs. Du-
bois stopped an automobile that was
travelling toward the Edgewater ferry
for New York. She asked for ride.
"My husband has just committed
suicide on the roadside" said Mrs. Du-
bois to the autoist, and the latter noti-
fed the Edgewater police when he
reached the ferry.
Policemen Gould and Allison inter-
cepted Mrs. Dubois as she boarded the
ferry and prevailed upon her to return
to the spot where she left her husband.
Sure enough, there lay Dubois dead.
An empty bottle from which Mrs. Du-
bois said he drank lay in the road near
him.
When asked by Coroner Tracey why
she tried to get to New York instead
of returning to the Villa Richard at
Coytesville, where they had been STOP
ping for a week, Mrs. Dubois could
make no satisfactory reply. The
boarding house is not four blocks from
where Dubois was found.

TEN TO FOUR ON JOHNSON.
Even Money That He Will Knock Out
ketchel In Fifteen Rounds.

ketehel In Fifteen Rounds.
San Francisco Oct. 14-Both Jack
Johnson and Stanley Ketchel have fin
ished training for the championship
fight on Saturday afternoon. Johnson
will weigh 1876 pounds in the ring,
which is lighter than he was in the
fight with Burns. Ketchel will weigh
175 pounds.
Some of KetchePs admirers fear he
is carrying too much weight, but Will
lie Britt says Ketchel was never better
in wind than now.
While Ketchel is much stronger than
in his last fight with Papke, Sam Fitz-
patrick, who has kept his eyes open
during the negro's training, said:
"Jack was never in better condition
than now. Yet these people who talk
about short fight are mistaken. John
son is naturally cautious, and he won't
take any chances with such power
full hitter as Ketchel. I should not be
surprised to see the fight go beyond
fifteen rounds, and, though Ketchel is
sure to be cut up, johnson may win
only on points,"
Betting on the fight remains the
same as for the last ten days, 10 to
on the result and even money that
Johnson will knock out Ketchel inside
Of fifteen rounds. Although there are
many who claim to like Ketchers
chances. they do not come up with
their coin.

ATLANTIC CITY'S RIOT.
Justice Trenehard Blames Police and
Calls For Indictments.

Mays Landing, n. j., Oct. 14.-Jus-
tice Thomas Trenchard in his charge
to the grand jury, of which Captain
John L. Young, the Atlantic City finan-
cier and hotel man, is foreman, said:
There can be no excuse for failure
to enforce the law in Atlantic City. A
refusal Of the grand jury to indict all
offenders breeds contempt for the ad-
ministration of justice, which is a fore
runner of anarchy and tends to the de-
struction of civil liberty.
"The prosecutor will present to you
evidence Of gambling in Atlantic City.
Much of it relates to gambling houses
conducted so openly as to be notorious.
He will exhibit to you faro and rou-
lette wheels, chips and other gambling
instruments seized on raiding the
houses; he will show you the actual
money in large sums which the gam
blers were using in their play. Such
evidence will require indictments at
your hands.
"It will also be your duty to investi-
gate riot which occurred in Atlantic
City. There will be evidence tending
to show that state detectives employed
by the prosecution were mobbed on
the public streets by rioters armed
with revolvers and clubs.
''The prosecutors men were pursued
through five city blocks by the mob,
and many shots were fired. The prose.
cutor has evidence that the mob was
melted and led by members of the At.
lantic City police force. The gravity
Sf this charge is apparent.
'If the police of Atlantic City are to
be permitted to drive out officers en-.
gagged in executing state warrants
what is to become of the personal Sc
curity and property of citizens?"

BREED THEATER.
Brother Against Brother, Stirring
Moving Picture of tho War.

One Of the strongest features of the
excellent bill presented at the Breed
theater last evening was the big pic
ture, Brother Against Brother, the
greatest war story ever produced in
motion pictures. This picture abounds
in pathetic scenes, followed by intense
military strategy, and is filed with
thrilling cllmaGes, and carries the
splendid plot Of two brothers fighting
in opposing arnnies. The strenuous
days of the Civil war are correctly re~
produced, as are the exciting days on
the Rappahannock and the fight at
Buckton's Bridge. This is g picture
full of the pathos that grips the heart
and the kind that you will remember.
Another big feature picture is The
Canebreaker's Bride, sensational pic
ture OF the south, with a wonderful
night through the banana groves. Other
attractions are the motion pictures of
The Ringleaders The Jealous Hubby,
The Warden's Nightmare, Hungry
Hanks Hallucination, and the famous
educational picture, Life on a French
Training Ship.
An extensive musical bill is on for
the remainder OF the week and made
a distinct hit at the performance last
evening. Madam Morelle singing the
splendid military song Taps and the
operate duet with Mr. Delaney entitled
companied by handsome set of color
ed slides. This won for the singers a
well nerited encore, when they were
compelled to again sing this haunting
theme. Mr.. Delaney also sings sue
cessfully the song I'll Be Waiting at
the Old Turnstile and the military song
True Blue.

To say that the audiences were
pleased with the fine programme at
the Roderick on Thursday Is putting
It mil6y-if one could judge by the
generous applause at each perform
ance. Every picture was watched with
great interest and close attention. Lost
IN Snow Storm is a magnificent reel,
portraying the adventures of two poor
little children and the wonderful sa-
gacity and almost human intelligence
of the st. Bernard dogs who rescue
them. The Adventures of a Chauffeur
was very interesting, and Stolen for
Spite was very pathetic. There are
several other fine pictures. One of the
features of the evening was the. lee
turette. consisting of a series of photos
of the battleships being shown while
descriptions Of each were read. This
proved to be very entertaining.
