SOFTENED THEIR HEARTS
Supreme Court Grants Stay to Pitts
burg Jointist.

The supreme court of Kansas has
heart attuned to the pulse of humanity,
even though the latter be represented
by Pittsburg jointist. The court had
laid its majestic paw upon the persons
of these Pittsburg liquor dealers who
had violated the prohibitory laws and
had all of them who failed to pay their
fines confined in the Shawnee county
Jail But there was one. Pete Comes
key, by name. who failed to pay his
fine and did not deliver his person over
to the sheriff.
Pete came in out of the brush today
and pleaded his cause to the court by
petition. In his prayer he alleged that
he was a poor man and had wife and
baby dependent upon his income of
1925 per day as coal miner for their
daily bread. Pete alleged further that
he had never knowingly violated the
contempt orders of the Hon. court His
appeal would have softened the heart of
tiger.
The court considered the matter and
finally compromised with Pete by
granting him stay of six months un-
der a peace bond in order that he might
provide for his family. At the end of this
time the court expects Pete to serve his
Jail sentence of so days and leave his
family in shape to keep the wolf from
the door while he is in jail.

In the First Two Months of His
Term as Mayor.
TAMMANY HARD HIT.
The Tiger Can No Longer Fat
ten ON the Public.
Days of Gloom Among Big
Chiefs at the Wigwam.

New York, March with two
months of Mayor Gaynor's administra-
tion completed, political stock taking
at Tammany Hall this morning was not
a pleasant business for the followers
of that historic organization.
There has been saving of $4,000
900 a year effected by Mayor Gaynor
since January 1, in the discharge of
men and the reorganization of depart
mentS. The mayor apparently finds
that this sort of exercise agrees with
him, for he ended his second month
by ordering a reorganization of the
force employed on the municipal fer
ries and directing that an entirely new
system be arranged for paying law
yers retained in land condemnation
proceedings. These two moves, it is
estimated, mean the cutting off of
three-quarters of a million dollars of
Tammany patronage.
Mayor Gaynor has three years and
ten months more TO serve.
Already what has been regarded as
the most perfect political machine in
the country is face to face with q
situation that it has not known before.
No Tammany man cares to predict
will be at the expiration of the Gaynor
administration.
Pay roll changes made by the mayor
during the past two months include
the following:
Highway department, 100000; fire
department, 100000; Bronx park de-
partment, $4,000; bureau reorgani-
zation in Bronx, 100000; water de-
partment, $1S5, 900; aqueduct boards.
$300,000; dislnissals by borough off,
cials, 100000 land condemnation de-
partment, 100000; municipal ferry
various small offices, $4,000. Total,
s$2,0OO,00O.

CALLS THEM AGAIN.
Taft Insists on knowing How His
Policies Stand in Congress.

Washington, March 1.-The presi-
dent called another meeting of the
leading Republicans in congress to
arrive at an estimate of legislative
prospects of the various administra-
ton measures now pending in con-
gresS. There were present, Senators
Aldrich and Crane, Speaker Cannon
and Attorney General Wickersham.
There was general discussion of
the situation and it is believed these
men will take steps to make personal
inquiry of the various elements in the
Republican party in congress with a
view to devising means to facilitate
action on these bills.
There may be a further process of
elimination. the idea being to enact
into law such of the administration
bills as seem to arouse the least op-
position in order to clear the way for
action on the more important meas
ureS.

Chicago, March 1.-Chicago clergy
men of many denominations will

1T is NO BLUFF.
A General Strike of Organized
Labor in Philadelphia
Is Certain Unless Present TrOu-
BILE Be Settled.
TO BEGIN SATURDAY.
Director of Public Safety Is
Making Preparations
To Handle the Situation When
the Time Comes.
TO BEGIN SATURDAY.

Philadelphia, March 1.-Determined to
demonstrate it's ability 20 operate its
cars without the assistance of the strik-
| ing motormen and conductors, the Phil
adelphia Rapid Transit company today
again increased the number of cars in
operation on it's various lines. The
company declares that no settlement
involving a recognition of the Garments
union will be considered and it reiter-
ates that arbitration is not needed to
settle the strike.
Both the LABOR leaders and the city
administration are preparing their lines
rector of Public Safety Clay, in an in
terview today said he did not regard
the proposed sympathetic strike as a
bluff" and told of plans for increas-
ing the police force in anticipation Of
further trouble. He said:
Under the act of May 81, 1850, the
mayor has power to draft every able
bodied man in Philadelphia for service
in protecting life and property. He can
swear in special policemen indefinitely.
1 expect to have lists prepared of all
citizens who are of age and fit for such
survice.
I'VE do not mean to call for the ma
tiOnal guard until we have exhausted
every power at our command. 1 have
at my service still 1000 men who were
among the 1000 summoned for special
duty a week ago, VINO can De sworn In
at any moment for police duty in uni
form. We have made arrangements to
add $50 to 200 men to the mounted force
today. They will take the places of the
state police in case they should be
summoned to South Bethlehem, on ac-
count of the strike there getting be-
yond control"
Look to the Council
The labor unions having decided on
a general strike unless the city take
some steps to force the company to
arbitrate, the sessions of select and
common councils on Thursday after
noon are looked forward to with in
terest.
1t is considered almost certain that
some member will bring forth an arbi-
tration resolution, but whether the po-
Iftical organization in control will agree
to take action can not be predicted.
State Senator James McNichol, the Re
publican leader of Philadelphia, and
William S. Ware, who stands next to
him in leadership, are in Florida, hav-
ing left here with a party of friends
before the strike began. 1t is believed
Senator McNichol could end the strike
if he cared to interfere. The several
locals of the Brotherhood of Painters
and Decorators have endorsed the gen.
eral strike order and all painters con-
nected with the organization are in
structed to stop work Saturday morn
ing unless the strike is settled by ar
bitration.
Another death, due to the strike, oc-
CURED late last night, when Benjamin
Gibson, a negro. died in the Douglas
hospital This brings the number cf
dead as a result of the strike up to six.
The eleventh day of the strike opened
wet and foggy, making walking more
disagreeable than ever the street
cars are carrying more passengers than
last week, but the number is far from
normal.
