An effort to use fire as a political
weapon was made yesterday. In the be-

blaze was started I'm No. Pill Southern
Boulevard, The Bronx, in which building
Wasserman has his real estate Office
Wasserman. who was formerly sergeant

union from placing its candidates on the
ballot.
Mr.. Wasserman's offices are on the
ground floor OF the two story building.
The floor above is occupied by Joseph

What Mccall Says.

After reading Mr.. Mitchels comment on
the delay I'm subway construction work
and the Steinway tunnel matter. Judge
Mccall issued long statement last night
In reply. I'm which he reiterated that the
fusion candidate was persistently trying
10 deceive the public In these matters.
He declared that some one officially con-
ncctcd with the Public Service Commits
sion. apparently. was keeping Mr. Mitchell
posted as To- the determinations or sug
gested movements" OF the commission,
and was giving his opponent tho facts
wrong. The Tammany candidate said
that Mr. Mitchell omitted to say that the
delay in starting work on the Steinway
tunnel contract was caused i'm some
measure by the clearing OF the title TO the
property. which he found "clouded In
several directions when he took Office
"Of course, the motive for concealment, "
said Judge Mccall. "or for refraining
from making known these facts is very
patent. lie thinks II will operate to his
advantage In his candidacy for Mayor to
make this wild sort of statements, and
with what IS a seemingly utter disregard
OF truth or accuracy"
Mr. Mccall declared emphatically. In
contradiction TO Mr.. Mitchel's statement,
that the 10 per cent proposed TO have
been allowed the Interborough company
on the Steinway contract was TO cover
expenditures and obligations growing out
of overhead charges In all such work,
that are invariably allowed, and that IL
did not represent IL profit" to the com
pany. as Mr.. Mitchell would appear 10
have II.
Let this gentleman control his vanity
and egotism from this moment on In the
certain knowledge that / now appraise
him with" said Mr.. Mccall. that he has
given me no challenge up to the present,
but that he simply. In my eyes. is in the
attitude OF a man giving voice TO decep-
tive and untruthful utterances. and am
laying bare. In all their nakedness. the
fact OF their untruth and his deception"

Robert Adamson, campaign manager
for the fusion forces, declared last night
that the figures for the first two days OF
registration were encouraging to the
fusion cause. He said they disposed OF
the notion, from which Tammany has
been trying to extract some comfort that
the Republican leaders are disanected

Tammany districts Only two of the ten
districts south of 18th street, Tammany
stronghold, show an increase.
THE I'd shows an increase of exactly 10

there is falling OFF OF 800, compared win

500
ION the other hand, the Republican 18th
shows a gain Of over 80. the Republican
23d a gain of $500, and, while the gain in
other Republican districts is not so
marked. there is no such loss as is shown
in the Tammany districts. In Brooklyn
there is a total gain over 1909.
These figures effectually dispose OF
the notion, from which Tammany has
been trying to extract comfort. that Re-
publican leaders are disahected | can
say from my own knowledge that Mr..
Koenig, Mr.. Livingston and all of the
other Republican leaders have been work

TO FIGHT STATE CONTROL
.Conservationists to Discuss
Forests and Waterways.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. .

Washington. oct. l2,Activty in the
West in the interest Of state ownership
and control of national forests and water
ways IS causing much concern among
conservationists. and IL is expected that
the principal subject for consideration at
the Fifth National Conservation Congress.
which will convene in Washington on
November ls. will be ways and means for
checking the movement.
The official call for the meeting. which
was given out to-day. openly declares
that the forests and water powers Of the
country are at stake and that the fight
for the protection Of these resources will
soon command the attention of the ma
ton.
One of the arguments presented by the
advocates for federal control Is that pri-
waite interests are seeking valuable con-
cessons which cannot be secured from
the United States Government and that
the state ownership plan Is advocated on
the theory that there will be greater sue
cess in dealing with the individual states.

From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Oct. l2.-Confronted by an
accumulation OF perplexing problems. the
United States Supreme Court will resume
its iabors tomorrow, opening the annual
October term. In accordance with the
custom that has prevailed for many
years. the court will transact no business
on the opening day, but will adjourn 10

to the President. This is the frst time
In several years that the President has
been in Washington at the opening Of the

first experience of this kind The hearing
OF the cases assigned for the opening day
will be begun on Tuesday.
Many knotty legal questions are before
the court although they are probably or
less general Importance than the great
trust and railroad rate questions which
the tribunal disposed Of during the last
two terms. By keeping hard at the task
the court has reduced slightly its bulky
docket, but an avalanche OF cases is In
prospect II is expected many questions
will be propounded regarding the new in
come tax law and the tariff law before
the term closes next summer or, at least,
that there will be many cases arising out
Of. the legislation Of the present Congress
which will be submitted TO It in the fol-
lowing year.
The validity Of the grandfather
clause" Of the Oklahoma constitution is
one of the most important cases that will
be heard by the Supreme Court This

practically all OF the constitutions Of
Southern states designed to eliminate the

cestOrs exercised the rights OF franchise
or citizenship in any foreign government
prior TO 1866. thereby suspending the test
as TO white immigrants. The government
exclude the negro and no dhe else from
the polls. and that. as such. IT is viola
tion of the federal Constitution.
II is expected that the court will hand
down a decision in the intermountain
rate cases. a perplexing problem, which
it has had under advisement since the
last term. The opinion in the Kentucky
railroad rate cases will also probably be
announced soon after the court convenes.
The California and Florida lemon rate
cases will be disposed OF during the pres
ent term. The California lemon rate case
may be affected by the new tariff law, as
the railroads asserted that the increase in
the rate from 81 10 81 IL. which brought
about the litigation, was due to the fact
that the tariff on lemons had been in
creased by the Payne-Aldrich law. II the
railroads follow their earlier policy OF
allowing the lower rate TO enable the Cal
ifornia lemon growers to compete with
foreign producers il is difficult to see why
the still lower duty prescribed by the
present law will not call for a still lower
freight rate.
