TWIRLYNG THE CLUB.

The Empire State Democracy gave
It's loaded club" a vicious twirl around
Murphy's head when it decided TO hold
its state convention directly after that
Of the regular or Tammanyized Democ-
racy. It is not to be supposed for a
minute that this convention will be a
ratification meeting over the Tammany
nominations. From previous actions Of
the new organization the convention is
much more likely to vote to fuse with
the Republicans on a state ticket which
would be opposed to Murphy and Tam
manyism.
'Tn imbecility, in greed and in sus'
pected partnership with violence" says
the Empire STATE Democracy, "the
small clique claiming control of the
"party organization has been bound to
"abhorrent criminal forces, to preda-
"tory special interests, to favored cor
"rupt contractors and to INSCRIPTIONS
patronage mongers." This is an accu-
rate though distinctly unaattering por-
trait Of regular" Democracy in this
state at present. 1t brings out with
care and precision all the salient feat
ures of the Murphy regime in state
government. Recognizing this, the men
in the new organization consider it
'true party loyalty" to oppose this
minority control" They have the
high authority of Mr.. William Jen-
nings Bryan for their contention that
the support Of Murphy is a drawback,
If they need any authority other than
their personal experience and obserya.

Will be glad to take the places OF those

death did not remove some employees
WAGES would be reduced by competition,
and all would staryo together. Hence
that catastrophc should be regarded as
public bencfaction and not as calamity.
Every one must die. The time Is OF as

By means of decoy letter, Mrs

her home at Park avenue and Broad
street, living with truckman whom
she claimed to be her husband.
Government inspectors made sever
al futile attempts to nab the woman
here within the past two years. About
nine months ago they were on her
trail here. Somehow she learned OF
their movements and went away for
time. Inspectors returned to
search for her about FIVE months ago
and found she had again disappeared
On the last occasion the officials ar
ranged to have q decoy letter sent to
her home to learn of her where

Special by United Press Wire.

New York, Oct. 1S:-The defense
in the trial of Police Lieutenant
Becker, accused of the murder of
Gambler Rosenthal, suffered a dis
tinct and serious reverse at the out
set of the case today. 1t had de-
pended on former District Attorney
w. T. Jerome to prove that Jack
Roses story of the phone conversa-
ton with Becker Immediately after
the killing was false and that at no
time did Becker tell Rose that 200
police were looking for him. But
Jerome had no personal knowledge
that Rose was the other man on the
wire nor did he recollect the phone
number and all his testimony Was
ruled out OF court by Justice Goff.
The prosecution also scored another
victory when Justice Gef refused to
allow the testimony OF Commission
er Waldo, that Becker had himself
relieved as head OF the strong arm
squad, to be admitted.
