ASK COLONEL To
PERMIT FUSION
REPUBLICANS HOPE TO DE-
FEAT TAMMANY WITH DIS
TRICT ATTORNEY
WHITMAN.

NEW YORK, Feb. mo distinct
ly local political subject is considered
these days of more Importance than
the prospect for fusion among all
Of the anti-Tammany forces for the
municipal campaign next fall. Ex-
President Roosevelt, the chieftain of
the Progressives, in recent state
ment practically insisted that the
Progressives should go it alone.
Many of the intimate followers of
the ex-president, however. believe
that at the proper time he win be
open to argument and 1t Is well known
that there is strong opposition in the
Progressive ranks to the stand taken
by the colonel. A few days ago the
Kings county Republican organiza-
tion adopted resolutions, declaring for
fusion.
Within a day or so after ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Thimothy L. Wood
ruff. head of the Progressives in Kings
county. called on ex-President Roose-
welt and argued for fusion. The ex-
president did not give Mr.. Woodruff
any announcement, but the fact that
he Informed Mr.. Woodruff that the sub
Ject would be taken up later and
threshed out thoroughly has led Mr..
Woodruff. Comptroller William A.
Prendergast, and others favorable to
fusion, to believe that the ex-presi-
dents mind is open to satisfactory
and convincing arguments.
1t is certain that the New York
county Republican organization, hond-
ed by Samuel A. Koenig. Is favorable
to fusion. The majority in that orr
ganization believe that with Charles
8. Whitman as the fusion candidate
for mayor. and Frank .. Moss as the
fusion candidate for district attorney
Of New York county, the Democratic
ticket would be overwhelmingly de-
tcated. - 80 4ye3s7 <, 49,. 50,
1t was the opinion, candidIy ex-
pressed. of eminent Tammany men IL
this fusion is effected the Democratic
city ticket will be overwhelmingly de-
feated next fall.

ABOUT. MONOTYPES

Claiming that the use of their
typesetting machines was being dis
continued by the Times-Dispatch in
violation of contract, suit for an in
junction was filed in the Law and
Equity court Saturday afternoon by
the Lanston Monotype Machine COM
pany against the paper asking that
the use of the machines be continued.
The management of the newspaper
claims that the machines do not an
swer the purpose for which they were
secured, and that while in use the
paper was never out on time. The
company claimed that II the paper
did not come out in time, 1t was
due to Il lack of cooperation on the
part of the employees of the news
paper company.
In awarding a temporary injunc-
ton, Judge Crump amended the plea
by permitting the newspaper to use
other machines pending a settlement
OF the matter by the court.
1t is aikeiy that q reply to this
injunction suit. will be made during
this week. as both parties are anxious
to have an early settlement.

NEW YORK. Feb 2.-Patrolman
Eugene Fox, indicted on "a charge of
having accepted protection money
from George A. Sipp, goes on-trial
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in
the criminal branch of the Supreme
court.
District Attorney whitman is posi-
tive that conviction will be secured.
Mr.. whitman believes that after Fox
has been convicted and faces "a long
sentence. the patrolman will throw
aside his present advisers, and Will
deal directly with the district attor-
ney. 1t is known that the inspector
and police captain who have been
brought into the graft investigation
have been active In Fox's behalf.
The sipp family. George A.. for
merly owner of the Hotel Baltic, who
charges that ne paid protection
money to Fox to be passed higher
up. his son. Howard, and Mrs. Sipp
are In their home under guard of
some of Mr.. Whitman's men. They
are allowed to go to and fro. but
one of Mr.. Whitman's men always
goes with them. They will be the
star witnesses against Fox, and their
evidence will be bolstered up by the
testimony of the mysterious witness
whom Mr.. Whitman found. but
whose Identity has not yet been made
known.
The defense may attempt to put
witnesses on the stand who win offer
testimony discreditable to Sipp's
character.
Assistant District Attorney Frank

recent agitation of the matter has
been of COCA effect tsfltntty in awas~
ening the people to a realization OF
the importance of giving correct re-

Although the stock market last

that the strength was more "techni-
cal" than anything else. The rise in
American can stocks. which was the
leading feature OF the market, was
Mt FIRST adversely criticized as being
supposedly due 20 an ill-timed specu-
lative Union Pacifc-Southern Pacific

The Union Paciflc-Southern Pacific
conferees are probably near an agree
ment involving doubtless a complete
sale Of the Central Pacific lines to the
Union Pacific, with n resale later to
the Southern Pacific of those portions
of the Central Pacific property that
are in competition with the Union Pa
cific.
Although on the surface the Balkan
situation looks very bad, a little an
