NEVER WERE FOR HIM
Parker Denies That Financial Inter
ests Were Won From Him.

New York, Nov. 2s.-Alton B.
Parker, who was the presidential
nominee on the Democrat ticket in
1904, took issue today with the state
ment made yesterday by Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia in so far as
they apply to Mr.. Bankers intima-
ton that the financial interests ever
had intended to support Parker
against Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Barker probably did not weigh
his words carefully enough said Mr..
Parker, when his attention was called
to that part of Mr.. Bankers testimony
before the senate committee on inter-
state commerce in which he said an
eminent financier, now dead, had told
him the money power had decided to
desert Parker and had made a bar
gain with Roosevelt.
There can be no doubt whatever he
added, that the Republican party and
the interests which constituted its leaders
weer always in. opposition to the Demo-
cratic party. But it served their purpose
then to get Mr.. Roosevelt better in lead
ing strings, and to that end they withheld
their checks for a time and talked of hos
tility and undoubtedly spoke occasionally
in friendly terms of the opposing candi-
date
Mr. Roosevelt left town today to spend
the Thanksgiving with his son Quinton
at school in Groton. Mass, and refused
to add anything to his statement of last

BOYCOTT A BUILDER
Nom Union Contractor Denied Shave
at Hoisington.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 29.-What
is man to do who can't shave him
self and can't find a barber who will
shave him ?
But that was the fix Dominic Dond-
linger found himself in at Hoising-
ton- So he came on down to Hutch
inson and got a shave and haircut.
The Hoisington BARRIERS all went on
a strike against Dominic because he
Is non-union man and has been
working crew of nOn-union carpen-
ters building some houses at that rail-
road town.
Hoisington is strenuously in SYM
pathy with labor unions largely be-
cause of the Missouri Pacific shop
men, and when Dominic Dondlinger
and his non-uniOn carpenters came to
town boycott was declared upon
tn en-
Merchants and tradesmen generally
were cautioned not to sell goods or ex-
tend any accommodations of any kind
to the ''scab carpenters" and the bar
Der shops we're advised that it would
be better not to shave nonunion men.
1.-The razor that scrapes a scab will
never scrape me-" was the slogan of
the union men of Hoisington.
So when after a week of hard work,
he settled comfortably down in the
barber chair to get a luxurious shave,
the barber told him that he was sorry,
but he couldn't shave him.
ia lose most of my customers if I
did, he said, apClogetically
Dominick made his way to another
shop, where he was not known, VOW
ing that he'd never patronize the other
again.
Just as the second barber had his
face lathered nicely, there was tap
at the window, the barber was called
outside, whispered conference fol-
lowed and resulted in the barber wip-
ing the lather off Dominick's face.
Sorry, Mister, but the boys say
mustn't do it, and reckon I'd better not"
he explained.
Dominic Dondhnger took the next train
for Hutchinson, with weeks growth of
beard, and he FASTENED to get a shave
and haircut before some one would dis
cover what he had been doing at Hoising-
ton.
Mr.. Dondlinger's home is in Claf1fn,
where most of the non-union carpenters
who were working with his crew at Hois-
ington reside. They had no trouble at
Hoisington excepting this atetmpt at boy
cotting them, attempt which seemed to
be successful tonsorially at least.

BLACKS CAN JOIN IT
Anti-Age Limit League to Admit
Negroes.

Chicago. Nov. 29.-When the first reg
ular meeting of the "Anti-Forty-Ffve
Year Age Limit League" was called to
order in West side hall, there were so
many present that some had to stand up.
Such interest is being shown to prevent
men of this age and over from being re-
fused employment that the officers an
nounced they would find more spacious
quarters.
Members favored an inquiry into the
authority of the city civil service com
nissioners to fix an age limit in the civil
service regulations. They also announced
that there would be no color line
J. H Lawrence, negro from Indian
apolis, who said he was a classmate of
former United States Senator Albert J.
Beveridge at De PAW university, asked
that the league recognize the members
of his race.
You have a great idea behind this
league he said, but it won't be a sue
cess unless you recognize the brotherhood
of man."
Captain w. P. Black, the president, an
nounced that the league had been formed
in the interests of all men willing and
able to work.

LITTLE RED CROSS Cash
Appeal for Money for Chinese Goes
Unheeded.

Washington, Nov. 29.-From all
over the United States there has come
about one hundred dollars in response
to the appeal of the American Red
Cross issued about month ago. for
funds to relieve famine sufferers in
China and to aid in putting Red Cross
societies on Chinese revolutionary bat
tlefieIds. This sum, too insignificant
to be forwarded. is being held by the
Red Cross officials here, with 5000
collected for the same purpose last
summer. It is hoped that the total
will reach at least $1,000, as that has
been the minimum amount usually
handled in such cases.
1t is supposed that the closeness
with which Chinese appeals have fol-
lowed each other is partially RESPONSE
bic for the lack of contributions. It
is suggested. too. that the recent
massacres perpetrated by both Chi
nese ana Manchus have tended to dull
the sympathies of the American peo-

Owing to Bribery Charges.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 29.-District
Attorney John D. F'redericks an
nounced today that a grand jury
would be called in a few days to in
vestigate the alleged attempted bril-
berry in the Mcnamara murder case,
for which Bert H franklin, q form er
United States marshal, is now under
arrest. This Widens the scope of the
investigation to the confines of the
state if the prosecution desires to
carry 1t so far; it's possibilities being
about as extensive as those of the in
vestigation of the Los Angeles Tim es
explosion and the resultant deaths. for
one of which James 3. Mcnamara is
now on trial
The actual summoning of a grand
jury is in the hands of the presiding
judge of the superior court, but it is
customary to act on the recomme nda-
ton of the district attorney. 1t was
said the call might be issued next
Monday.

POLLOCK CONSIDERS.

Judge Pollock today heard arguments
in the injunction suit to prevent the in
crease IN gas rates in Topeka. Argu-
ments were submitted by counsel on
a motion to remand the case to the
Shawnee county courts.
After Judge Dana had approved the
application of attorneys for the gas
company asking for a removal to the
federal court, the gas company filed a
motion to remand the case. 1t was
on this motion that arguments were
presented At the close Of today's near
ing, Judge Pollock ordered the attor-
neyS to submit briefs. These VIII be
fled in a few days
In case Judge Pollock denies the ap-
plication to remand the case TO the
state courts, the question of a raise
in the gas rates will then be presented
on its merits. This hearing may not be
held for sometime and may even be
deferred until the January term OF court
in Kansas City.
Attorneys for the utilities commits
sion this morning urged that the ques-
tion of gas rates in Topeka was
state matter and should not be pre-
scented in the federal courts on the
other hand, attorneys for the gas com
pany insisted that the action was
brought by the utilities commission to
estop an action in the United States
courts, and that the federal tribunals

While these questions are before the
court, the temporary restraining order
issued by Judge Dana is imperative,
and there are now no court orders to
prevent an increase in gas rates pend
ing the hearing on the issues in the
case. It is believed, though, that the
court will take early action on the rate
question and that the gas company
will not attempt to force an increase
in the price of gas before the final
settlement of the issue. Such action
could be prevented by applications for
restraining ord ers and would at once
come to the attention of the court. At
the present time no application has
been made by the utilities commission
demanding temporary restraining or

alleged that New York financier told
MIN In 1904 that the financial interests

made a bargain with them ION the

Mr.. Barker's statement came in the

also that President Roosevelt had
been given the details of the impend-
ing panic in 1907 several months be-
fore it happened, but took no action
to prevent it. He declared that the
Aldrich currency plan was the handi-
work not of former Senator Aldrich,
but of Mr.. Warburton of the bank

of New York, and that a fund of ST.
100000 had been started to insure its
