FROM MILLIONS TO POVERTY.
Former Counsel for the Mormon
Church Loses Fortune.

A San Francisco dispatch says; Col.
Isaac Trumbo, who made a fortune
&C counsel for the mormon church.
and who lived in the Amelia palace
at Salt Lake City after the death of
Brigham Young, was evicted from
his home here the other day for fail
ure to satisfy loan of $1,000 made
II years ago and upon which no in
te1est had been paid. Trumbo came
to this city Is years ago, and was
then worth several million dollars.
He built a magnificent house and en-
tertained lavishly. His art treasures
alone were valued at $250,00O. Lat
er his fortune melted away in bad
mining speculaitons, and for the last
nine months he lived in his former
art palace in poverty. Even the sup
ply OF gas and water was shut off
because Of failure to pay bills.

Entering the campaign on the eve Oh

could ndorse only one Democratic candl-

I'd District OF Queens. who voted against
the charter at the last session.
In the 10Th and 29th districts and In TIE
9Th. 9th and 18th districts Of Kings the
Union made no choice between the oppos-
ing candidates. having received satisfactory
assurances from both sides that they wouio
oppose the charter in case 1t survived the
blow given 1t by the last Legislature In
all the other districts the Union gave It's
Endorsement to the Republican or fusion

Before receiving the Endorsement of the

mo Wrong Thing In Charter"

AS 10 the nominations for the Assem-
bly,. the Mayor said he could only warn
the community to vote for honest men,
He praised the Legislature of last year. in
that it never was even suspected Of being
corrupt and he appealed to the voters to
see that only men were elected VINO would
keep up that record. Mayer Gaynor then
went over to the defence OF the charter
that failed to pass the Legislature, and
said:
Much falsehood has been said and is
being said with regard 10 the proposed
new charter ] never saw such a period OF
falsehood IN any subject The charter was
most carefully rewritten and revised during
the summer when some who are now de-
nouncing IT were travelling at their leisure
through Europe, and gave no nand what
ever in the work, although the whole state
knows that ! publicly called upon every
body to give assistance.
No wrong thing was allowed to creep into
the charter. No political leader tried 10 get
anything into il. Some good" people tried
10 get some bad things into II. but failed,
and they turned around Immediately and
opposed the charter. This was notably
! done ~ two So-called Democratic Sen
ators. and ii is high time that the reasons
which they assigned for not voting for the
charter were made public. II was my wish
10 make the facts public at the time. but
other counsel prevailed. ] have challenged
and | now challenge anybody TO name a
single section or provision i'm the proposed
charter which has any faint Of wrong in IL
whatever. The time of deception must be
now drawing 10 an end.
The alliance Of the Republican party
with William Randolph Hearst was de-
clared by the Mayor as a Notifying thing
| in the present political situation. and he
deprecated this fusion as depriving the Re
! publican party Of its ability to become d
mighty force for good i'm this city. The
Mayor then repeated his accusation con-
corning the alleged purchase Of nomina-
ton for the judiciary in Queens, saying:
One word about the judiciary ticket on
/ the other side Of the river II is charged
/ that one Of the candidates bought his nomi-
nation. He is also the regular nominee OF
the convention Of the Hearst party over
/ there. That party has corrupted our poll
/ ties from the beginning. Mr.. Hearst Is
able to put up vast sums OF money. Such
/ vast expenditures Of money were never
/ known in politics until his advent. II this
Z candidate has bought his nomination from
/ the Hearst leaders over I'm the % District
and from the corrupt leaders In Long
/ Island City that Is no reason why the
honest men on the ticket should be struck
