FIGHT THE TIGER
Republicans, Progressives and
Independents Unite.
Nominate John p. Mitchell for
Mayor of New York.

New York, Aug. 1.-Republicans, Pro-
greSSives and independents as repre-
sented by a fusion committee of 107
members, agreed early today upon the
nomination of John Purroy Mitchell,
collector of customs of the port of New
York. as a candidate for mayor. The
regular Democratic candidate, or tina
to be backed by Tammany hall, has
not yet been named but Mayor Gay
nor is understood to be a candidate
for nomination for another term.
The agreement of the fusionists to
put Mitchell forward as their candidate
was not reached until after an all
night struggle during which the COM
mittee took nine ballots, on the first Ot
which Mitchell led by slight margins
over District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man and Borough President George
McAneny, of Manhattan. These We're
the only three candidates considered
and the contest among their adherents
was stubborn.
Mitchell led slightly on every ballot
and on the final vote won the
necessary majority among the SO MEM
bers then present to nominate. He re-
ceiVed 45 votes, Whitman received 80,
the McAneny forces breaking UP and
dividing their strength between the two
leaders. The nomination of Mitchell
was afterwards made unanimous.
Mitchell. elected president of the
board of aldermen on the Democra tic
ticket at the last election. was recently
appointed by President Wilson col
lector of customs at this port. The
preference which the president showed
toward him was used hy his al.
mirers as evidence that the president
would favor him in an anti-Tammany
fight
The platform adopted by the fusion
committee has municipal economy as
its corner stone. Other issues are
,Iass e ~
charter, police reform and a social pro-
gram which includes public health. re-
duction of food costs by the establish
ment of terminal markets in each
borough, establishment of a mum icipal
department of recreation, linsitation of
the height of the new buildings and
extension of trade and vocational
training in the public schools.

BRYAN DENIES IT
Says No Pressure Is Being
Brought to Bear
On the United States by For
eign Countries.

Washington, Aug AFTER a confer
ence with President Wilson today, Sec
retary Bryan declared that the United
States was in no way being pressed for
action in Mexico and issued the follow =
ing statement:
THE statement which appeared in
some of the morning papers to the ef-
feet that European governments are
bringing pressure to bear on the United
States to compel aggressive action in
Mexico, is entirely without foundation
Administra ton officials were pleased
to observe the reports from Mexico
City that a reform element in the Mex
lean chamber of deputies was planning
to submit peace proposals to both fac
tions in the revolution. So far as is
known, the policy of the American & v
ernment will be to await the outcome
of negotiat tions of this character. The
chief difficulty in negotiating peace, it
is admitted by Mexicans of all factions,
is the selection of a non-partisan pro-
visional president.
The suggestion was made today by
some prominent Mexicans here that on
account of the scarcity of men of abil-
ity who had not taken part in the Mex
lean disputes and changing politics 1T
might be expedient to select one of the
veteran diplomats now representing
Mexico in posts abroad. Men of such
character, it was pointed out, had no
political Affiliations and would give tie
situa ton the benefit of their experience
in fields of diplomacy. Senior Corrva-
ubias. at present minister to Russia
and Senor Gilbert CreSpoy Martinez,
were being mentioned.
The house foreign affairs commit
tee today decided to ask Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson to appear and out
line his views on Mexico. The ambas-
sador may meet the committee tomor-
row.
Chairman Flood, setting forth the
views of the administration as he has
obtained them from President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan, made it clear that
the administration was determined not
to recognize the Huerta government
and that Secretary Bryan contemplates
an attempt to get a valid, binding cleo
ton.
That it might proceed Immediately
and intelligently if the necessity for
legislative action should arise, the COM
mittee decided to inform itself ac-
curately as to the conditions in Mex

A DEMOCRAT PAPER.
This Time Reported st. Louis Men
Behind Topeka Project.

Democratic hopes for the estab-
lishment of a daily newspaper in To-
peka We're revived this week by the
visit of w. H. Gregory, a st. Louis
man, to Topeka to look over the sit
uation." Around the state house the
Democrats whisper that Gregory is
backed by D. r. Francis, of the St.
Louis Republic, and that, with the
assistance of Kansas politicians, there
will be plenty of funds available to
launch a Democratic morning paper
in the capital city.
Several times in the last year the
Democrats have tried to put a party
organ in Topeka. Their plans haye
never been very fruitful But now
new hope has come from st. Louis, it
is claimed. and publishing company
with a paid up capital of 100000 is
to be launched in the next so days
According to the plans, as defined
by the administration followers, about
$4,000 is to be invested in a plant
and equipment and the remainder of
the capital, it is claimed, will carry
the publication until it is paying

r. Francis and his newspaper asso-
ciates have agreed to take a financial
interest in the proposed publication.
but that the control of the stock will
be owned by Kansas Democrats who
are willing to help finance the prof.

KISSED COUSIN
Did Geo. AIeXiuS of Kansas in
a N. Y. Street Car.
Her Husband Clipped In
Fight, Police Court.

New York Aug 1.-The unwise ac-
ton of George Alexius, of Kansas, in
a street car in New York city one day
this week was the cause of no small
rumpus, which finally ended in court.
According to reports, George Alexius
has a cousin, Mrs. Albert Waskum
residing in the Gotham city. Before
leaving the Sunflower state he wrote
her of his intention to come to New
York at an early time and seek some
kind of employment.
About three weeks ago he lit in the
big city, obtained a position as a street
car conductor on Thirty-seventh street
but had delayed his visit to Mr. and
Mrs. Waskum. The other day the Was
kums. residing in an apartment near
Central Park west happened to board
Georges car. And here is where the
scene Of trouble commenced.
In the first place Mr.. Waskum had
never met George. Shortly after the
Waskums seated themselves, Conduc-
tor-cousin George recognized his cou-
sin, but she did not recognize him.
Wanting to surprise her he affection
ately planted a bunch of kisses on her
cheek. Then Mrs. Waskum knew it
was her favorite cousin. Hubby sud-
denly turned and saw the kissing bee,
and before an introduction was pos
sible to be made, Waskum nad f1oored
the conductor with his fist. Cousin
George. regaining his feet, proceeded to
beat up" the unknown man" Women
passengers screamed and started to
leave the car. During the melee a
strange man attempted to arbitrate
matters with the combatants and acci-
dentally got black eye. He swore
out warrant for the arrest of the two
men, who were hurried to the police
station. II was then that George and
his cousins husband were formally in
troduced. After an explanation to the
judge how it all happened, the case
WAS dismissed.

superintendent Wilson was elected to
the position which he now holds on ac-
count of the hattering recommends =
tionS of his work that We're given by
prominent educators of the country. He
was not a candidate for the position.
In speaking this afternoon with a
State Journal reporter Superintendent
Wilson said: Il believe in being per-
fectly frank with the public. The
schools belong to the people and they
ought to know what is going on.
Il am we'll pleased with what little
1 have seen of Topeka. 1 like the looks
of the town and the people impress
me as being progressive. The policies
and ideals of the school board looked
attractive to me- L liked the manner in
which the board went about the pro-
curing of a superintendent.
"In another month 1 shall know
more about the Topeka schools than
at the present time.
81 notice that the Topeka newspa-
pers devote much space to educational
subjects, and / have been favorably
impressed with the manner in which
they are edited. 1 have been follow
ing them closely in the last few
weeks
Superintendent Wilson was highly
thought of as an educator in Decatur,
III. This week to show their respect
for him the business men rendered a
banquet in his honor to which l.. M
school board, was invited to attend
and make an address concerning the
Topeka schools.
The first year superintendent Will
son will receive a salary of $4,000 for
his services as head of the Topeka
school, and the second year the
amount will be increased to $4,000.
The former superintendent received
$2,750. Other cities are now paying
high salaries, and the board of educa
ton desired to procure for the posi-
ton 2. man of the highest type as an

Marie Louise Freede, daughter of a
retired millionaire, with a quiet cere-
mony, plans for a brilliant church
wedding having been suddenly
changed.
An attorney who was first ap-
preached by Mrs. Melcher and then
retained by the prince, said today he
had suggested to Mr.. Freede, the
princes father-in-law, a payment OF
five or ten thousand dollars in settle
ment of the woman's claims, but Mrs.
Melcher, through her lawyer, de-
clared she must have not less than
$4,000.
In the meantime, the prince and
his bride are on their wedding trip
but where, no one outside the Freede
family knows. Mr.. Freede vouch-
safed only the information that the
prince and princess were out of the
country.
Inspector ConneII declined to COM
ment today on the case, saying mere
iy that it had been brought to him
for investigation under the federal
law prohibiting the importation of
women.
Mr.. Freede asserted the demands of
the woman had not caused the change
in the announced wedding plans of
the prince and his daughter.
