Hennessy went still further In his
charges against Mccall He threatened
to have him indicted for a perjurer II
he persisted in his criminal suit.
Early in the day Hennessy accepted
McCall's dare and put his previously
made charges In writing. Mccall. after
receiving the letter. said that they did
not come I'D to his demand. and asked
that Hennessy give him foundation for
suit by affixing his signature to the
newspaper clippings of his speeches.
The charges OF Hennessy and the de-
NAL of them by Mccall brought District
Attorney Whitman into the case. He
issued a subpoena for Hennessy and will
have him examined today before John

MURPHY OPENS UP,
GIVES LIE TO SULzER
Tammany Chief, Stung Into
Speech, Contradicts Story
of Deposed Governor.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, has
broken his characteristic silence on po-
ltical topics, and has issued a long
statement from the Fourteenth street
wigwam in reply to the charges made
by former Governor SulZer against the
chief" His statement, like that of
Edward E. Mccall, the Tammany can
didate for mayor, was a general denial
of the conversations credited to Murphy
at the conferences between the three
men.
Mr. Murphy dwelt upon the fact that
Governor Sulzer was discredited by his
Impeachment, which, in Murphy's opin-
ion, destroyed Suffers integrity.
Coming as they do after Mr.. Sulzer
was convicted for perjury in the high
est court of the State" said Mr.. Muir
ply, by the significant vote of 43 to
Il, fair-minded men and honest men
will question the truth of these
charges"
Murphy admitted the conferences
with Sulzer and Mccall at his own
on February 2, to which Mr.. SplZer re-
ferred. but ne declared that Sulzer lied
about the conversations that took place.
He said he never suggested Ganney,
McManus or other Tammany strong
men, for state offices. The phrase, 1T
will be Gaffney or war" Murphy de-
clared was merely a Sulzer invention.
The Tammany leader denied that he
ever threatened, plotted or planned to
wreck Sulzer's administrat ton, and was
not instrumental in having him i'm
peached. The only man responsible for
the downfall and disgrace of William
Sulzer:" he said, was Goveror Sulzer
himself Murphy asserted that he re-
turned the $4,000 campaign contribution
from the late Anthony n. Brady, and
efn
tribution from Allan Ryan, as Mr.. Sui
ger said he did.

WEAVER To STAY AS
REALTY MEMS HEAD

Despite the recent announcement that
John l.. Weaver. recently elected pres
ident of the Washington Real Estate
Brokers' Association, had resigned the
presidency of the local body, it was
given out this morning that he will
continue in his office and carry out
the plans that have been outlined for
the campaign of this association this
year.
A letter to George Y Worthington
last Friday from Mr.. Weaver stated
that the press of business duties would
prevent his remaining in the office. An
executive meeting was subsequently
held. and Mr.. Weaver was persuaded
to remain for the coming year. 1t Is
said that the organization contemplates
a campaign that will result in a num-
Der of new departures, and will ac-
quaint the public and Congress alike
with situations which have been de-
scribed as the workings of real es-
tate ring
At the monthly and semi-monthly
meetings efforts will be made to Sc
cure as speakers Congressman and men
prominent in official life. in order to
effect a cooperation between the legls-
lative body of the Government and To-
cal realty men. Committees will be cho-
sen to consult with Congress on realty
questions of local import
A membership campaign is now In
progress. Hitherto but 80 of the 225 IL
censed brokers in the District have
been enrolled. Arms & Drury, of 1871
G street, and II. W. Offutt, of George
town, have been admitted to member
ship in the last week.
A quiz will be held at each meeting
to broaden real estate mems Ideas on
estimates on property values in varl-
Gus localities of the city. Authorities
on the several localities of Washington
will be called upon to estimate on
realty values who collectively will edu-
cate the broker on valuations in every
section of the city. 1t has been found
a common fault in the past that real
estate men have devoted too much time
to specialization on particular localities
and have not been familiar with values
generally.
A committee will be selected at the
coming meeting to inquire into the
question of the delays in Municipal
Court proceedings wherein extensions
of time have been given to tenants In
suits filed against them by real estate
men. The sign law will also be taken
up. and an effort to eliminate the pro-
vision that only three signs may be dis
played on a home for rent will be con-
sidered.
The next meeting will be held In
about two weeks. and the luncheon
which was instituted this year will su-
persede the custom of holding a formal
business meeting.

BRINGS BACK TALE
OF NINE CRUELT|ES
Mother Jones Says Conditions
in Colorado Are Worse Than
in West Virginia.

That the miners of Colorado are un-
der "gatling-gun rule" and that con-
dition of political and industrial slavery
exists in the State was made plain to
the members of the Washington Central
Labor Union, at its meeting last night
in the Typographical Temple. A reso-
luton offered by Congressman Edward
Keat!ng, of Colorado, directing the
House Labor Committee to investigate
conditions in the mines of Colorado
was unanimously indorsed.
Congressman Keating said that the
big interests ran things in his State
in a high-handed manner. and that the
miners there found themselves in a con-
dition of political and Industrial slav-
cry.
Mother" Jones, who has just re-
turned from the coal regions of Co.or-
ado, where strikes are now on, said
that the conditions there were worse
than they had been in West Virginia.
Ghe suggestion of Mother Jones that
a mass meeting be held for the presen-
tation of Colorado mine conditions with

and the executive committee was in
