SULzER CONDEMNS
RYAN AS ANAN|AS
Says Offer of $4,000 Was
Trap of Murphy to Get
Something On" Him.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-William Sui
Fer, answering the cry of liar hurled
at him by Allen Ryan, son of Thomas
F. Ryan, today in a statement formally
assigned Ryan to full and complete
membership in the Annanias Club.
Murphy and Ryan couldn't use me, ~
said Sulzer, and intimated that Ryan's
giving $4,000 for his campaign was
simply Murphy plan 10 get something
on him"
Il see by the papers that Ryan calls
me a liar" said the former governor.
However, If one will read my statement
in connection with Ryan it will appear
that Ryan substantially corroborated all
l said.
Students of public affairs will won
der whether Ryan was a plant of Muir
phys, and whether Murphy used him to
get something on me for the purpose of
controlling me after l became governor
At all events, Murphy and Ryan under
stood exactly what was being done,
whether 1 did or not and it turned out
that when the time came and 1 refused
TO do what they wanted, they used the
information they had to my disadvan
tage. 1t is the old, old story, and a
lesson to me l shall never forget.
II am done with the Murphys and the
Ryans. They thought they could make
me their tool. but they were mistaken.
William SulZer never was a tool, and
never will be a tool for any man.
Murph yand Ryan are as close as. two
peas in a pod. They understand each
other, and they work together not for
t. general welfare, but for their own
selfish interests. If Mr.. Ryan is wise.
he had better stop lying about me If ne
hopes to elect his candidate, one Ed
Mccall. of Tammany Hall.

| reserve is more clearly shown by Mr..
Simon in his booklet, in a comparison
| between art and music. He further
states: The canvases of Corot and
| Rousseau are full of deep shadows, and
! the pictures of Carriere and Whistler
are seen through behind the veil Of in
distinctness or in the gloom OF twilight
that precedeS the greater darkness.
Many of the works of Turner are i'm
| pressive through the delicacy of color
tints. and the indistinctness of haze and
atmosphere, with outline of figure or
object almost obliterated. Under such
conditions, the essential spirit Of art be-
comes alive and luminous while the me-
dunn remains suggestive.
Carrying out the idea of general fit
ness and the great influence of sur
roundings on musical productions. Mr..
! Simon points out the necessity of sub
dued lighting effects and adjusts the
| lights at the Motet concerts accordingly.
I Since: music makes its impression on
the Imagination through the sense of
hearing. vision often disturbs and in
terferes. The glare OF high lights be-
comes an irritant to the inner vision of
both artist and audience. During the
! concerts of the Motet the theater is in
darkness. while the lights of the stage
are eliminated to such a degree that
motion, form. physiognomy, and dress
become indistinct."
Mr.. Simon's early musical studies were
made under teachers in Boston and New
York He went abroad later and stud
led with Emil Behuke in London, and
also coilaborated with Marchesi in Paris
and with different singing teachers in
Milan. The last twenty summers Mr..
simon has spent abroad, visiting studios.

tions Of different countries.

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.


A number of important cases in which
AleXandrians are interested will come
before the supreme court of appeals
which will meet in Richmond on No
vember 4. They have all been appealed
from the circuit and corporation courts
of this city.
Among the most important will be
that of the contested seat in the city
council, which is at present held by
Julian Y. Williams from the second
ward. Mr.. Williams moved his resi-
dence to Alexandria county two years
ago, and six of the city councilmen in
Stituted quo warranto proceedings
against him to oust him from his posi-
ton. \ jury in the corporation court
brought in a verdict against him, and
Mr.. Williams appealed to the supreme
court.
Two suits growing out of the death of
B. Fleet Board will also be decided by
the supreme court. They were instl-
tuted by the b. F. Board Motor Truck
Company and the Board, Armstrong
Company, of which Mr.. Board was
president, against the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, to re-
cover 5000 on two life insurance pol
icies held by the two concerns. Pay
ment on the policies was refused on
the ground that MIR. Board had COM
mitted suicide, and that the holders OF
the policies had no insurance interest
in he re. Verdicts against the insur-
ance companies were rendered by Jurles
in this city, but a writ of error was
granted by the supreme court.
Another case which will be finally set
tied is that of Mrs. Alice McManamin
and husband against the Southern Rail-
way Company for $3.50 damages, said
to have resulted from the establishment
of a coal chute near the PLAINTIFFS 8
residence in the West End. The case
has been tried three times. At first
verdict of s1,150 was rendered against
the railway company. This was set
aside by the supreme court. On the
second trial the jury was unable to
agree. and the third time the attorneys
for the company demurred to the evil
dence and the jury was instructed to
bring in verdict for Mrs. McMenamin;
Judge J. B. T. Thornton, of the circuit
court, sustained the demurrer. but the
supreme court granted a rehearing.
