 Bowery Breakdewn.
 With the impending loss of millions of dollars worth of city patronage, the Sullivan clan Is today driven almost to the verge of complete dissolution. ac- cording to the best Bowery sages. In the passing of this most famous of all their political powers New Workers are witnessing spectacle that they could never before believe would come to pass. ss
 While Big Tim" Sullivan is recover ing from serious physical collapse at a Western health resort and "Little Tim" is known to be in little better plight down South. a hungry horde of the rank and file of the Sullivan CO., horts Is preparing to forsake its lead CTS and follow after bosses more pro- ductive of fat jobs. For years this compact political band has held the balance of power in Tammany Hall, where its leaders were able largely to dictate and shape the policy of city and State administrations.
 Today the once powerful Bowery brigade Is rapidly breaking up and for once in its history upper Gotham hopes to have a say in running its gov ernment.
 Loss of Lanan.
 No one can calculate the loss that all the world of Journalism here has sus- tained today through the sudden end ing of the influence of William M Laf- fan. Following the funeral of the quaint little man who moved things nightly from his den in the depths of his newspaper plant. something of spice and spirit seems to have gone from one. end of Park Row to the other.
 Never has New York been swayed more surely by the words of any one man than 1t was by the mysterious presence of Laffan behind the bulwark of his newspaper machine. To every cub and every veteran on the stan Of his paper the personality of It's pub fisher was equally unknown and yet all powerful. Few. of the men he worked though ever saw Laffan and fewer still ever began to be taken into his confidence. Today the newspaper that represented the brain of this mighty little man is staggering on without him, while vacancy is felt in- directly in every editorial room in town.
 Hideous Heap.
 In a few loads of broken lath and plaster the street cleaning department is today removing from the public gaze the sculptured monstrosity that was reared on Longacre Square a few months ago to represent for campaign purposes the city assailed.
 Of all the gigantic farces that Co., than has been compelled to witness in recent years, this gross heaping of stucco Is generally considered to be. the most trying. Why as grotesque a figure should be made to represent New York or who was supposed to. be cast ing mud on her soiIed plaster dress no one ever has been able to discover ex- cept perhaps her political promoters. At any arte the destruction of this hideous heap Is giving to New Workers one real cause for the season of Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON DELEGATION
REFUSES TRIBUTE To
ROOSEVELT POLICIES
Through Efforts Of Whtson, Turner, Post and Happy
Turn Down Boost for Pinchot

Through the efforts of Federal
Judge Whitson of this city, Judge
Turner, Frank T. Post and Cyrus
Happy, an effort to give Pinchot
the benefit of a Washington state
endorsement of the Roosevelt con-
seryation policy failed in a meet
ing of the Washington delegation
to the irrigation congress last
evening.
Judge c. H. Hanford, also on the
federal bench in this state, is
chairman of the delegation. Judge
Hanford's interest in irrigation
arises from the fact that in private
life he is heavily interested in an
irrigation project In the dry terri
tory east of here.
The resolution offered by E. T.
Conan, president of the Exchange
National bank Of this city, en-.
dorsed the Roosevelt policy OF
reclamation and preservation OF
natural resources, and individually
commended Chief Forester Pinchol
and F. H. Newell, head of the
reclamation bureau.
j. j. Browne was primed with
an amendment substituting the
name of Ballinger for both Pinchot
and Newell, this amendment con
densing and presenting the entire
opposition to the Roosevelt idea
Judge Turner, who is attorney fol
an Arizona private irrigation pro
ject which is now fighting the fed
erai reclamation service tooth ant
nail, and who has been particular,
active in the interests of private
projects before the irrigation con
gress, assailed opponents of Bal
linger, dwelling heavily on the ma
jesty of the law and how strict,
Ballinger must observe it, etc.
Frank T.. Post, of this city ant
one of the leading corporation at
torneys of the northwest, was alst
actively engaged in Ballinger's be
half. Post has developed sudder
and acute interest in irrigation
since the necessity for defending
Ba1linger materialized.

Stitch was received with open

ing a stable roll of bills and said
they could all have wine on him
They did. Then came Curley, with
a bill for $50.
1t wasn't wine, but cider. the
soubrettes had been drinking, said
Stitch, and refused to settle. lr
the quarrel that followed Stitch
drew a revolver and sent the SOU
brettes and patrons flying before
he was fatally shot in some un
known manner.
