have insulted a number Of self-re-
specting progressive republicans
who called there recently, by as
much. as telling them that their
suggestions or advice are not need
ed, and that the bunch of political
adventures now running the cam
paign in lieu of the progressives
can get along without them.
When men like Joe Carey and
Marvin Arnold run a campaign sup
posed to be controlled by the pro-
gressives, things are even worse
than they were under the old stand
pat committee. You could always
tell where Dave Ham stood, but
these fellows are everywhere and
nowhere all at the same time. They
have turned the county committee
into a ring adjunct, the only pur-
pose of which is to try to save the
members of the court house push
under fire and elect certain mem
bers of the Bolo club running for
office. The Bolo club as a political
organization is second Tammany
Hall and is no more in sympathy
with progressive ideas of govern
ment than is Joe Cannon with the
election Of Miles Poindexter to the
senate"

HAVE PR0CRESSIvES
LAID DOWN" NOW?

A member Of the republican
county central committee, strong
progressive, who does not care to
have his name used at this time,
charges that the progressives have
"laid down" in the county, and that
the old court house ring and the
Bolo club have seized control Of the
affairs Of tho committee. This
man was elected to membership on
the committee, In one of the city
precincts, by one Of the largest
votes received on the day Of the re-
cent primaries.
There is no doubt about it, the
Poindexter people have laid down
in the control of the county cam
paign and permitted the Pugh
court house ring and the Bolo club
to pick up the reins," said the COM
mitteeman. II don't blame chair
man Kimball for this condition;
simply think that he is too easy
and has allowed the men that
he Is too esay and has allowed the
men that we wrested the control of
the party machinery from in the
primaries to get back into the sad
die. Not only have they grabbed
control of the committee, but they

considered guilty by the commits
sion until he has proven his limo
cence. The police commission is
absolutely controlled by the mayor
and will do his bidding.
Now Sullivan and his friends do
not like this attitude of the mayor
one single little bit, and it Is an
open secret around the city hall to-
day that If Sullivan is found guilty
by the commission he will make a
clean breast of the whole affair,
and come right out with the story
that his bad acts while in office
were done with the full consent of
and under orders from Mayor Pratt
himself.
Sullivan has a 81 years. record in
the police department, and is SO
near to the time when he will be
entitled to his police pension that
he does not propose to have the
benefits of his years of service
taken from him through having to
suffer for acts which he was Or
dere to do by the man In authority
above him.
TRY TO CLEAR PRATT'S SKIRTS
1t Is declared at the city hall to-
day that the mayor, by having Sui
Ivan tried on Tuesday morning, be-
fore the council can act on the reso-
luton introduced last night, hopes
to forestall, by convicting the late
acting chief, any action on the mat
ter by the council.
Pratt, it is said, knows full well
that If the hearing ever gets before
the council he will not be able to
keep his own skirts clean, and will
be so brought into the scandal that
the way will be open for the city's
executive body to remove him from
office. e.
Hence the haste to make Sullivan
the goat before the police commits
sion.
It's a beautiful mixup, right at the
present time, and the city hall
bunch is worse split up over It than
over anything which has occurred
since the Pratt crowd gained con-
troll of city offices.

COMBUSTION

AS the result of spontaneous
combustion caused by the mixing
of chemicals in the rear of the city
dye works yesterday, Herbert
Clapp, an employe, was painfully
burned about the hands, arms and
face and is now lying in agony
fearing lest he be unable to provide
in the future for his widowed
mother. Clapp was handling a
bundle of wooden clothes, which
had previously been treated with
benzine, chloroform, wood alcohol
and other chemicals and had not
been dried sufficiently before being
plunged into tank of pure chemi-
calls. In addition no ammonia had
been used in the chemicals to pre-
vent just what occurred. and when
the clothes were plunged into the
gasoline tank, the latter exploded.

SPARED FOR HIS
FAM|LY'S SAKE

Frank Pasquale. Italian, was
lucky yesterday afternoon in tho
fact that he had wife and little
child in the court room when he
was brought up before Judge Mann
on a charge of having drawn q
revolver on a fellow countryman as
the result of q row over q card
game.
The complaining witness declar-
ed that Pasquale had struck him
and had then pressed the barrel OF
a large and energetic pistol against
his neck. PasQuale gave up the
weapon when taken to the police
station, but denied that he had used
1t. He declared in his defense that
the row arose when his supposed
friend attempted to rob him.
Had 1t not been for the wife and
child, Frank would have been sent
to Jail on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons, but for their sake
Judge Mann released him.

Bit by bit the charter commits
sioners let night tried to hammer
something into the new city charter
that will protect the people in the
granting of and the operation under
public service franchises.
Able legal counsel for the corpor-
ations tried to becloud the issues
with talg of nconstitutionality, i'm
practicability, etc., and fought every
provision that looked like giving
justice to the people. In this work
the corporation representatives
were aided by H. M. Stephens, one
of the two lawyers on the commits
sion. Stephens fought against the
injection of too libertl provisions as
to the control of corporations into
the charter, while John E. Blair, the
other attorney on the commission,
differed with them and insisted that
the strict provisions for the control
of the corporations go In. The labor
representative fought for adequate
control Of franchises and while not
getting what they wanted, secured
some concessions.
As the matter stands. 1t is said
that corporations are satisfied with
the provisions. They are little
more restrictive than under the
present charter, but the difference

his advantage to gain their support.

always worked together. With the
