released on their personal recog-
nizance In the amount Of $1,000.
II may be Monday afternoon or la
ter before e. R. Schreiter and some
of the IL aldermen for whom blan'
ket warrant, charging conspiracy was
issued Saturday afternoon, are ar
raigned.
While the warrant is issued In blan-
ket form, il will be necessary, II the
aldermen do not come TO court as

or do anything else.
cit will be about noon before ] nm
ish," he said.
However, Aid. Deimel, Walsh, The
isen, Lynch and Ostrowski were on
hand early, not waiting for the SER
vice of the warrants, and arrange
ments were made to have them ar
raigned before Justice Stein.
II others come in during the morn

was not named in the blanket warrant
issued by Justice Jeffries late SatuT-
day afternoon, charging conspiracy.
There are now two charges against
each Of the aldermen, except Skrzyckl
the ffrst nine arrested Defng charged
with conspiracy and accepting bribe,
the other eight being accused OF con-
spiracy and agreeing to accept a
bribe. The prosecutor will make no
definite statement as to what he ex-
poets to do In the case, but legal ex-
perts believe the charge OF agreeing to
accept a bribe against Skrzycki Will be
dropped. The conspiracy charge Is
made under the common law and Is
broader In scope than the specific
charge against Skrzycki.
II is said that II the prosecutor can
not make a conspiracy charge hold
against Skrzycki with the evidence he
has In his possession he cannot con-
vict on the other charge. Skrzycki
has always denied having talked with

By CHAMP CLARK.
Speaker Of the House.

This house passed more bills In the
nature OF constructive legislation than
any house In twenty years. II passed
tarih bills alone that would have say.
&c the American people $500, ,00O, 900 a
year. II passed more bills for the
benefit OF laborers and wage earners
than any other congress that ever
met 1t passed a bill that ameliorates
to great extent conditions OF our
seamen which will have a tendency to
induce the securing of high grade
men. 1t saved several millions !, OF
dollars without crippling the public
service to any degree. II admitted
New Mexico and Arizona into the
union as two states, as ought to have
been done twenty years ago. 1t Is a
great outrage that they were kept OUT
OF the union so long.
We submitted constitutional
amendment for the direct election of
United States senators. We liberal
lied the rules of the house. We pass
ed laws to try to stop undue use of
money In elections. We enacted a
multitude of other good laws, among
them being the Panama canal bill.
President Taft prevented by vetoes
enactment OF all OF our tariff bills. and
prevented us by vetoes from working
many other reforms by, new legisla.
tion on appropriation bills. We had
Q right to pass those bills. He had a
right to veto them The issue Is
made to go before the people. / am
not afraid OF the result.
Our thanks and the gratitude of the
country are due, to the brave, wise
and patriotic Republicans who have
co-operated with us In passing good
bills. The Republicans failed to keep
their promises and came to grief as
they deserved to. We will go before
the people on our record with absolute

N. y SUSPECTS "NABBED"
IN MANY SECTIONS OF U. S.
Officers in Widely Separated
Places Seem To See Them
All at Once

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.--The search
for Gyp the Blood and Lefty Louie,
men wanted for the murder OF Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal, continued to-
day.
While detectives were returning
from Pennsylvania where they dis
covered that an arrested Italian was
not Gyp. to the disgust of the thrifty
local sheriff who had read OF the re-
ward, other detectives were hurrying
to Boston, where a fresh Gyp clue
had been reported. District Attorney
Whitman still believed that he had
Lefty Louie In far western city and
would have him In the Tombs early
this week, but still the police OF other
cities were finding Lefty every now
and then.
With the aldermanic probe starting
Wednesday, the special session of the
supreme court set to begin next week,
and the sitting OF the actual murder
concluded, District Attorney Whitman
today continued his search for police
graft and for Becker bank accounts.

PLEADS FOR SCHOOLS.
Supt. Davidson Says Local Educa-
tIonAI System should Equal Any.

While a firm believer in economy, Dr..
William NJ. Davidson. superintendent Of
schools, yesterday reiterated his theory
that no money should be spared In max
ing the local educational system one of
the best in the country. DR.. Davidson
said that he firmly believes that every
dollar spent On public schools is not an
expense but an investment Unless the
best is put into the educational system,
he says, the best will not be turned out.
Economy must not be confounded
with cheapness, he emphasized. I'VE
want our schools to be run on an eco
nomical basis, but they must not be
cheap. There is a very big difference in
those two things. as you know. We do
not want a half-developed or under-de-
Yeloped school system"
