men who have been interested in the
work of railroad extensions in the state

interests of this city in that connec-
ton believe that there is a strong
possibility of the Northern Pacific con-
structing line into this city which
will traverse the Shields river country.
pass through Meagher county via the
Smith river valley and up into Cas-
cade county through the canyon Of
that river which has been surveyed
upon several occasions both by the
Milwaukee and the Burlington.
The fact that work upon the con-
structlon Of branch of the Northern
Pacific has been commenced out of
Livingston and crews Of graders have
been started from Meyersburg, about
40 miles north of Livingston, ensures
the construction Of the proposed
Shields river line which it is propos-
ed to have ready for operation by Oct.
IS.
The Shields river road, if extended
beyond the proposed terminus in d.
rect line, would directly strike Great
Falls and would pass through an ex-
eellent farming and grazing country.
its entire length, after passing no
Shields river the road would cross the
river near Dorsey and then follow the
valley Of Smith river through Meagher
county to its intersection with the
Missouri river few miles above this
city.

whose body was found In his apartment
on Wednesday, committed suicide because
he was thousands Of dollars short in his
accounts. according 10 Arthur J. Baldwin
one OF the owners Of the hotel
In 1896 Mr.. Baldwin and q brother,
Leonard D. Baldwin. purchased the hotel
from the Mutuas Trust Company and
placed Purdy in charge as manager. Last
Monday, for reasons not made public, they
decided to examine the books of the hotel.
The examination was resumed Tuesday
evening and lasted until one o'clock the
next morning, when PurdE, according to Mr..
Baldwin, admitted that he had taken
thousands OF dollars by falsifying the
books.
After this alleged confession an appoint
ment was made for Purdy to go to tho
lawyers Offices on Wednesday afternoon.

phoned and finally went TO the hotel him

BALLOTS DESTROYED.
Justices Reverse Their Ozrm
Rulings iR Election Cases.

By the action of Justice Gerard and Tus-
tce Dickey yesterday in reversing their
own decisions made earlier IN the week on
contests for places IN the Civic Alliance
Column, it became necessary TO destroy
one hundred thousand ballets already
printed which will retard the work OF
getting out the tickets on time. Mr.. VAL
entine, manager of Martin L. Brown &
Co, who was in court, said that many OF
the ballots for the districts in which the
changes were ordered by tho courts had
been printed, and that It would require
great effort 70 get tho tickets all out by
Election Day working twentyfour hours
a day from now Oh.
Justice Gerard reversed the decision
mado by him on Monday night removing
the names OF Mitchell l. Friend, candidate
for Assemblyman in the S1st Assembly
District; Samuel Marx. candidate for al
derman from the 33d Aldermanic District;
Thomas A. Brennan, candidate for Assem-
blyman from the oath Assembly District,
and Charles Delaney. candidate for alder
man from the 18th Aldermanlc District,
from the ballot under the Civic Alliance
head and emblem. These are Tammany
nominees.
Yesterday lawyers representing Tam
many appeared before Justice Gerard
with affldavits from a number of slgners
TO the nominating petitions in which they
declared their intention of supporting the
Civic Alliance candidates and asked that
the four names be restored TO tho Civic
Alliance column. Lawyers for the Civic
Alliance and the fusionists opposed this
and urged upon the Court the fact that the
Cooper Union Committee of Five had de-
clared that the four men were not the
nominees OF the Civic Alliance. 1t was
contended by the Tammany lawyer that
the Committee OF Five had no such au-
thority. and Justice Gerard sustained that
view OF the case.
In Brooklyn Justice Dickey reversed his
decision Of Wednesday denying to Robert
Watson and Joseph II. Mcmillan a place
in the Civic Alliance column as candidates
respectively, for Assembyman and alder
man. They will now appear on the ballot
under the Civic Alliance emblem.

Otto T. Barnard, Fusion candidate for

at the MONDAY meeting Of the Business

meeting in Sokol Hall, No. 535 East 72d

many or his audience were workingmen,
who had 10 return to work at o'clock. The
candidate again emphasized his stand on
subways and transfers and the eight-hour
law. He said:

4NSWERS TRU4X I'D" !"
Schiefekn Tells Why Justice
Vas Turned DO1Cn.

William ]. 6chieffeiin, chairman OF the
Citizens Union, denied yesterday that the
failure OF tho fusion forces to renominate
Justice Truax for the Supreme Court
bench was ''an oversight or a thoughtless
exercise OF fits powers" as stated in tho
advertisements favoring the reelection Of
the Democratic justice.
THE fusion forces were more keenly de-
slrous than any Tammany convention OF
taking the judiciary out OF politics." said
Mr.. Schieffelin, 'and they deemed It i'm
possible to do so by renominating Judge
TruaX. The material gathered by the
Commission on the Laws Delays in 1903
and published by the Merchants Associa-
ton, shows that in his appointment Of
referees Judge Truax favored members OF
-Tammany Hail. sons of Supreme Court
Judges and those bound to him by personal
or family ties.
Nor IS this all. 1t is q matter OF COM
mon knowledge that the appointment OF
commissioners to condemn property for
city purposes has become one OF the great
coss in tho Tammany patronage machine
The appointment OF these commissioners Is
made In Part III OF the Supreme Court
The Charter Revision Commission, in its
report TO the Legislature this year, stated
inspection of the list OF judges designated
TO sit in this important part since January
:, 1895 discloses the remarkable fact that
few justices have ever been privileged to
occupy this post and to dispense the
patronage attached to il. In cases where,
owing to the absence OF the designated JUS
rice. some other justice sits. it is the
almost invariable practice for the corpora
tion Counsel TO adjourn applications for
the appointment OF commissioners until the
term at which the regularly appointed JUS
tice presides.
Judge Truax has been one Of the small
number OF Tammany judges who have
regularly been appointed to Part III. 1t
