GRISCoM OPPONENTS QUIET.
No Trouble Expected at Meeting of
Committee Tonight.

| Having failed IN their attempt to incite
opposition to the leadership Of Lloyd C
Griscom. president Of the Republican
/ County Committee, at the secret con-
! ference at the City Club on Monday. II is
not believed that the Gruber-Bennet group
will attempt to make any trouble at the
monthly meeting OF the committee tonight
This meeting, which is to be held at Ell
dorado Hail. Seventh avenue and sd
street is the first since the reorganization
of the committee in September and since
the Republican state convention. One of the
causes of complaint against Mr.. Griscom
on the part of Abraham Gruber and
Congressman William s. Bennett is that he
cid not call any meeting of the Executive
Committee or of the County Committee in
October In not doing this Mr.. Griscom
simply followed the precedent of the year
before, when it was not considered neces-
sary for during the campaign the leader
is in almost daily touch with the district
leaders
There was report last night that either
Mr.. Gruber or Senator Alexander Brough,
who succeeded Congressman Bennett as
leader OF the 18th District. would offer
some sort Of a resolution at the meeting
OF the Executive Committee this afternoon
in an attempt 10 embarass Mr.. Griscom.
but Mr. Gruber declared that he had no
such intention.
CONGRESSMAN Bennett has been told by
some Of his friends that he made a great
mistake in attacking Mr.. Griscom, and il
IS probable that whatever moves may be
made I'm the future will be OF a more
diplomatic character

BAILIFFS PURSUE COUNT"
Camp on the Trail OF De Beau
fort Until He Appears.

Chicago, Nov 16.-FinancIal troubles were
added to-day to the domestic difficulties of
Count John Won Mourik De Beaufort,
when the National City Bank OF Chicago
filed suit against him for S257 which he is
said to have overdrawn. This is the fourth
claim made in the courts against De Beau
fort since his open rupture with NJ H
Killgallon, his rich father-in-law, week
ago.
The banks suit was fled only short
time after a claim had been filed by q
haberdasher for ST. 90 In addition to these
suits have been filed by book publishing
concern, which claims De Beaufort owes
for a number of volumes on etiquette and
a second haberdasher, who asks pay for
number of fancy waistcoats worn by the
count.
De Beaufort avoided process servers in
the first of these actions until yesterday.
when a municipal court batiiff, who camped
outside his door in a downtown hotel for
five hours, managed to reach him.

North Tries to Dodge AK

According to advices from Washing

OF immigration Commissioner Hart II.
North as the first step toward a reor-
ganization of the administration of I'M
migration matters at this port. North
has been booked for the guillotine for
some time, and for several months the
commissioner has been making frantic
efforts to stay the decapitation. In
stead of appealing to the records of
his office, North bombarded Washing
ton with petitions signed by his sub
ordinates on Angel island, by his
friends in Chinatown and by others
less directly interested in the shower
of crumbs that fell from the sahib's
table These petitions are said to have
played an important part in convincing
those in Washington that the immi-
grafton bureau at this port needed a
new head.
North has been under the fire of

George B. Williams, president of the
printing company bearing his name,
was charged with printing the spurious
notes; H. N. Secreest, planter of Tam
pico. Mex, was accused of having the
notes printed, and Richard J. Trumbull,
manager of the Guarantee engraving
company of Chicago, is charged with
having made the plate.
Williams and Trumbull declared that
they thought Secreest was an official
Of the Nicaraguan government and that
the work was legal.
Secreest had been lending money to
Nicaraguans, it is said, but was unable
to get it back because of shortage of
funds. When the government an

some himself.

HOOKWORM FOLLOWS THE
ENTRY OF ALIEN MINERS
Disease Has Been Discovered in
Jackson District

JACKSON, Oct. 22.-The state board
OF health has sent DIR. P. Gum here to
investigate the hookworm.t Several
cases were discovered in this county
during the summer and two miners
were spotted as victims today by Doc
tor Gum.
All those affected are miners and the
introduction of the disease is traced
to the low caste foreigners, who are
employed in the mines. The affection
has been found in the Argonaut, Ken
nedy and Zeila mines at Jackson and
the South Eureka at Sutter creek
The disease is believed to exist in
all the other large mines. where the
same class of men are at work. and
is supposed to have been carried to
Grass Valley and other camps The
Argonaut had the first victim and while
the disease is transmitted through lack
of sanitation underground, the condi-
tions still exist in that mine. Doctor
Gum will spend several days here.

A JACKASS CLUB
Federal Judge Anderson of Pam
anna Libel Fame Reported
Charter Member
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22-Theodore
Roosevelt is figuring in Indianapolis
today, if not as the hero at least as
the leading figure in a sensational Incl
dent. According to story carefully
guarded until today the former presi-
dent at the reception given him by the
Columbia club referred to the Panama
libel case decision given by Federal
Judge A. B. Anderson as "the ruling of
a jackass and a crook.
According to the story told here.
Judge Anderson was one of those who
attended the reception to Roosevelt at
the club. He was presented to the
former president, who had appointed
him to office, and was greeted as cor
daily as any other guest.
Judge Anderson. Judge Anderson
Didn't he try libel case decided in
this cityg' Roosevelt is quoted as hav-
ing asked later. when discussing the
guests. in his usual snappy mode of
expression when aroused.
Il believe he did" replied New.
Then, the story goes. Roosevelt
braced himself and said in voice loud
enough to be heard by several persons:
That was the decision of a jackass
and crook
1t is said that Judge Anderson had
passed out of earshot when the remark
was made and did not hear of it until
the reception was over.
