ALBANY, March ?s.-Tammany leaders
In the Senate are tonight emphatically
repudiatinH Senator Boylan's bill making
the tenure OF the Chief Justice Of the City
Court one year instead OF the full term.
They say 1t cannot pass. Boylan re-
fuses to say anything.
The bill, which was slipped In quietly

advanced, was taken to be the answer OF
Charles +. Murphy and other Tammany
chiefs to the action OF Chief Justice Ed
ward F. O'Dwyer. president of the Demo-
cratic Club. In expeIling Messrs. Murphy.

Boylan himself IL Tammany man and
the Senator from the Fifteenth New York
city Senate district. His bill simply
amends the Civil Code. which now pro-
vides that the City Court Justices desg-
nate one OF their number to act AS Chief
Justice. Usually such Justice has re-
tained the position until the end Of his
term Of ten years.
Justice O'Dwyer was outspoken yester-
day in his belief that Mr.. Murphy and
his associates were already making re-
prisals.
Thomas F. Smith. secretary OF Tam.
many Hail. repudiated the bill for the re-
organization. lie said: "Mr. Murphy
will not meet the petty warfare waged
against him by anything so petty"

COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVE,

There Is considerable activity among
the smaller towns of the state over
commercial clubs. Bantry insists on
the organization of a club of some kind
to attract attention to that section Of
the state. Other towns of that section
of the state have booster clubs and
are making successful efforts in Sc
curing new settlers and new enter
prises.
Flasher is seeking a commercial
club. The Hustler is the name Of the
paper there it is edited by j. K.
Mcleod, one of the most remarkable
editorial boosters of the state. Some
Of his townsmen think Mcleod doesn't
require any assistance in developing
Flasher, but that it is al imposition
to expect one man to do all the work.
The town had a club some years ago
in it's earlier stages but it finally
dropped out of existence.
Flasher is also urging Incorporation,
SO that more improvements can be
made and better fire protection will
be possible.
Hazen, one Of the new Mercer coun-
ty towns on the \. p. extension west
of Stanton, has started to agitate in
corporation. The place has Deer an
inland village for many years as a
rural center. The arrival Of the rail-
road has resulted in the town taking
a rapid growth and the boosters be-
licve the only way the town can be
properly advanced will be through in
strongly in favor of the plan.
Beach is seeking a new flour and
grist mill. Ernest Schauble of Dick
inson has been Canvassing the field
':ndCr the guidance of representatives
the commercial club. who are con-
WINGED the enterprise would be a
profitable investment. Citizens will
donate a site for the mill if the en-
terprise is located here. Mr.. Schauble
is investigating some Montana towns.
The Mouse river loop section of the
state is doing more development work
than most other sections as a result
of the organization of an association
which includes sixteen towns in that
locality. In addition to securing new
settlers through the cooperation Of
t.e 500 and the Great Northern, new
enterprises are being added in many
towns and those which have not in
corporated are planning to do so in
order to more rapidly improve local
conditions. Other sections of the state
are planning the community
tive idea.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Danger Turks in the Boomerang.

Danger |urkS IN rnG EO0f1eTanSs
New York Herald: Then these OPP
position politicians tried new tactics.
Democrats were bitterly arraigned for
having dared contradict themselves.
They had actually had the temerity to
repudiate their party platform when
its utterances were found to conflict
with national honor. Again the coun-
try refused to become excited. In
stead, sensible men Of all parties in"
sisted upon interpreting this self
reputation as evidence Of sanity and
Of common sense.
And now the president and his party
are in the black books of these critics
because, %forsooth, they have failed to
produce u panic! They will plead
guilty. There is no panic and there is
going to be nothing even remotely re-
sembling u panic-save in the breasts
of the CalamitOus Ones when called
upon to give an accounting to their
constituents in the coming congress
Sional elections. Then will these gen.
tlemen be made to understand that
thir 'piftle" politics has been making
democratic votes; hen will they real
ize the dangers that Turk in a boone
rang.

SOME FACT FlcTloNs.
Romances That Actually Happen More
Wonderful Than NoveIists'. Plots.

Wonderful IMAM NoVelistS' FloES'
Pail Mall Gazette: The romances
that actually happen are so many that
we are in a fair way to miss their full
value. Consider the case of Adelaide
M. Brance, the woman whom an up
state lawyer in New York hid in his
offices for three years, with whom he
spent a great deal more time than with
his wife and family, and all this with
out any one in the curious little town
ever once ~-suspecting it! This mystic
rious romance was published only
when the sudden death of n OF the
principals cut it short; yet it is more
improbable than tales of Balzac and OF
Mrs. Wharton with much the same
plot. In the same week that saw pub
licity given to this story four men sat
drinking in a sailors hotel on the New
York river front. They plotted a piece
of night brigandage that tranScends
in sheer effrontery any tale of Chinese
river pirates published between, lurid
covers. On Christmas eve, amid cir
cumstanees that would have distin-
guished a novel by Eugene Sue, they
seized a tug, kidnapped a railway barge,
looting a string of freight cars, turned
the barge adrift and transferred their
plumber to waiting wagons in somno-
lent Brooklyn. What their next move
was nobody knows.
