BARNES PREDICTED 1T

NEW YORK. July 1a.--When the
EepubIican State committee was
meeting last Tuesday at the Republic
can club, William Barnes, Jr., re-
marked that before the. committee Is
due to meet again 1t may be legls-
lated out of existence. The effect OF
the legislation to which Mr.. Barnes
referred would be not only TO clinch
MIR. Barnes personal hold on the Re-
publican organization, but would in
crease Charles f. Murphys power in
the Democratic state organization.
Senator Elon r. Brown. at the pres
ent session of the legislature, intro
duced bill providing for reappor-
t:onment of State committee MEM
bers.
How II Works.
The Brown bill puts representation
In the State committee on parity
with that for the Republican State
convention-that is, it gives to each
assembly district one vote and addi-
tional votes for each thousand, or
major fraction of a thousand votes
cast for governor at the last election.
In other words. an assembly district
which cast 1900 votes would have
three votes in the State committee.
Members of the Republican county
committee, who discussed the Brown
bill today, said that 1t had the ef-
feet of skilful gerrymander in the
interest Of William Barnes and
Charles F. Murphy.
The present Republican State COM
mittee is composed of forty-three
members with vote apiece--one for
each congressional district in the state.
If the Brown bill becomes a law. the
five counties composing New York city
would have 100 votes out of $40 in
the State committee. Granting that
New York, Buffalo, and Syracuse put
themselves in the anti Barnes column.
MIR. Parsons and Mr.. Stimson. who
are leading the fight again Barnes.
would still be shy sixty-nine votes of
a majority in their fight against Mr..
Barnes.
Help Murphy Too.
The effect of the bill would be
equally serviceable, 1t was said to-
day, to Charles F.. Murphy and Tam
many Hall. Mr.. Barnes strength lies
up the State, where the bulk OF the
Republican vote Is. But Mr. Murphy 8
strength Is in New York city. where
ia the bulk OF the Democratic votes

VIRGINIA BEACH. VA, July 10
In the b. Y. p. U. convention at the

day the executive committee recon-
mended a motto for that organization

consisted of the unusual, and at first
sight ridiculous, word "spizzerink-

No. Il isn't slang, because reference
to the new WebSter'a dictionary tells
US that 1t means The overwhelming
will to succeed" The motto created
a good bit OF enthusiasm. and was
unanimously adopted BY the conven-
ton.
The encampment closes today, after
the most successful session In the his

reached, Mezora. thirty-one miles
northeast of the Bulgarian capital.
The Servians are at Izoor. forty-two

Greeks are at Djumaibala, fifty miles
south OF that city.
There are also strong Servian forces
on the Bulgarian frontier, at Egri
Pulaski, sixty miles to the south
west of Sofia. and at Prot, which Is

the situation at Sofia itself, or as to

MAN WHO MADE The PLATES
ENGRAVER ASSERTS PRIEST HAD
HIM CUT COPPER TO THE
PROPER SIZE

] New York, Sept. 1S.--The engraver
who sold Father" Hans Schmidt the
copper plates used in his counterfeit
ing work told the police today that
DIR. Ernest Muret frequently had ac-
companied Schmidt to his shop"
Muret, the bogus dentist, has con-
tended that he knew nothing of the
priests counterfeiting plans The dis
covery Of this engraver, A. G, Hauyer,
and the evidence he gave was consid-
cred most important, but Inspector
Faurot, of the detective bureau, inti-
mated that something bigger was in
prospect
AT the present" said the inspector,
q am investigating report to the
effect that the Father Schmidt re-
ferred to by the Germans died and
the man now in the Tombs simply
impersonated that man. I am not at
liberty at this time to divulge the
source of my information in this re-
gard; but consider it is of such a
nature that thorough investigation is
imperative"
FEauver, the engraver, said that a
man he recognized from photographs
as Schmidt, called at his shop some
time ago with strip Of copper 36
inches long and 12 inches wide.
Schmidt, he said, instructed him to
cut the plates SKA inches, explaining
that he wanted half inch margin on
them.
Hauver said he was aware that the
plates, If cut by schmidt's Instructions
would permit, with narrow margin,
the Photographic engraving Of cur
rency. He became skeptical and in
quired as to what use the plates we're
to be put The priest, he said, evad-
ed the question.
Muret pleaded guilty today to the
charge of having in MS possession a
dangerous weapon. His case was put
over until October 2. Schmidt became
suddenly taciturn today. Hitherto he
seemed glad to answer notes sent to
his cell, although his answers cast no
light on his record.
