OSBORN TO QUIT
GUARDIANSHIP
Democratic Leader, 1t Is Said,
Feels He's Ignored in Fed
eral Patronage.

William Church Osborn has decided
TO retire as chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee. He announced
yesterday that under no circumstances
would he be a candidate to succeed
himself as chairman of the new com
mittee to be elected at the primaries
September 2s.
1t was reported that the reason why
Mr., Osborn announced his retirement
from the committee was because word
had been received that James W. Ger
ard would refuse to run for the United
States Senate and that Mr.. Osborn's
friends believed he might be substi-
tuted II II had been previously an
nounced that he was going TO sever his
active connection with the organiza-
ton.
When Mr.. Osborn, who had long been
prominent as ali Independent Demo-
crat, was chosen head of the state COM
mitteo in March to succeed George W.
Palmer, II was with the understanding
that he would have the support of the
Wilson administration. II is known
that Mr.. Osborn has been bitterly dis
appointed in this.
Repeatedly he has been ignored in
matters Of federal patronage in this
state and in not a few cases his rec
concentrations have been spurned. Mr..
Osborn, II is understood, contributed
Is much as $4,000 TO aid in the cleo
ton Of President Wilson. but the ad-
visers Of the President have done all
they could 10 render unsuccessful the
efforts OF the state chairman TO secure
harmony in this state,

eral creditors committee Of the II. Il.
Clahin Company will meet at the Office
OF Rosenberg, Lewis & Ball this after
noon for final action OF the plan OF re-

creditors for their approval.
These plans call for the formation OF

that no head of the new organization
had been decided upon, there was a
strong sentiment in favor of Frederick
{. Juilliard, one of the receivers. His
conduct of the affairs Of the concern
in conjunction with j. b. Martindalc
has made him popular with the cred
Itors.
1t is understood that the entire plan
Of reorganization Of the Clafin Com

MARKET TRADING

Produce Fairs Find Favor
Equally with Grower
and Consumer.

With the season for summer vege-
tables drawing to a close, farmers IN
increasing numbers he coming TO the
new open markets 20 dispose Of their
produce. A larger proportion Of them
are selling at retail than heretofore.
If this continues, the middleman will
be eliminated fom the open markets.
Already the dealers about the Manhat-
tan Bridge market have begun to view
the farmers with hostility. 1t is only
there that they can oppose the farmer
successfully, for the East Side still
prefers the pushcart vender TO the
Long Island farmer.
John Gerbe, farmer from Newtown,
who was selling mixed load at the
Greensboro Bridge market yesterday,
exDlained the situation from the farm

The Greensboro Bridge market is in
a fourishing condition. There are
more than 100 stands beneath its
arches. Prices are low and the quality
Of the produce is excellent. So assured

Vegetable prices advanced all along
the line yesterday. Meat remained the
same at retail, in spite of slight ad
vance in the Wholesale prices. Butter
went up half a cent pound at whole
sale, and eggs a cent pound. Flour
went down a trife at wholesale and
sugar remained the same as last week

New York Man Says Names on
Petition Were Obtained
by Fraud.

Albany. Sept. "a formal protest
against the validity Of the nominating
petitions of Frederick NJ. Davenport, a
Progressive candidate for Governor,
charging that some signatures had
been obtained "by fraud, bribery and
deceit" was filed with the Secretary OF
State to-day by Walter j. Rath2orne,

jeremiah D. Toomey, of Westchester
County, to-day refused the Progr jslve
designation as primary candidate for
Secretary OF State.
Theodore Douglas Robinson, chair
man of the State Committee, laughed
when he heard of Rathborne's charges.
lie said he did not know who he was,
nor did he care, but it was up to him
to prove his allegations if he could.
The declination of Mr.. Toomey fore
shadows a shift in the Progressive
state ticket, Leon Moisseif, who was
named as the candidate for State En-
gineer to have a Jewish representative
on the ticket, is an independent Demo-
crat and has declined to run. It was
impossible to find a Jewish engineer
for that nomination, so it will go TO a
Gentle. Mr.. Toomey has retired in
order that Hebrew may be named
for Secretary of State.

AND DRIVER VICTIMS
John N. Ryan, Badly Hurt, VIII
RecoVer-Couple Found
Locked in Embrace.

Ocean City, N. j., Sept. 9.u-Dr'
Matthew s. Borden, Of New YORK!
whose life had been unusually tuil oil
exciting events and episodes, raced his
high powered automobile into the en-
CINE of Il Reading Railroad freight
train to-day at Palermo, and was
thrown under the wheels and terr'DIy
manglcd. Ito died instantly
With him in death wero Mr.. and
Mrs J. Harvey Wood, of New York, and
the chauffeur, Leo Gultreund' Jonh
Nicholas Ryan, general agent FOR the
Equitable Life Assurance Society," at
l49 Broadway, was unconscious 10
hours, but it is believed he Will re-
cover.
The party was OH the way from
Lakewood to Atlantic City when the ac-
cident occurred. The road over whlch
the machine travelled is an excellent
one for fast time, and DR.. Borden, VINO
had a reputation for speeding, could
not resist temptation. As recently as
July he ran down a patrolman IN
Flushing, Long Island, during dense
fog. The victim died later from his
injuries. -,
Train and automobile approached the
crossing at full speed and apparently
neither slackened pace. The auto
mobile crashed into the locomotive in
front OF the driving wheels and was
wrecked. Wood, who evidently had
seen impending disaster, had thrown
his arms about his young wife. They
we're picked up dead on the station
platform, locked in each others en-
brace. The chauffeur was thrown
about twenty feet. Ryan was lying
limp near the Woods.
The day DR.. Borden's automobile

John Mea he received news that he
would get none of tho estate Of his
millionaire mill owner father, NJ. c. d.
Borden, who. died two years ago, so
long as he remained the husband o.
Mildred Negbauer, TO whom he was
twice married.
When Borden was in Yale as a
member of the class Of '96, back in
1892, he secretly married the daughter
of a New Haven tailor. When the
truth came out his father made such II
protest that the couple agreed to sep.
aratc, and the bride went West and got
a divorce. Later, when he became
established, Borden remarked her,
thereby forfeiting just s2,154I21.
The couple had lived at the Krem-
stadt. Riverside Drive and West 18Th
ST., for four years. They had been
away all summer, the superintendent
said yesterday, but he had expected
them back within few days.
J. Harvey Wood WAS bond salesman
in the employ of Splitter, Roick & Co.,
5 Nassau ST., and lived at COL West
l15th ST. He and the young wife who
was killed with him were married in
July. 1910. She was Miss Modjeska

MILLION DOLLARS
IN GRAIN BILLS
Exchange Rates Go Up, How
ever, on Delayed Buying
Cotton Bills Still Scarce.

One million dollars worth of bills
against grain, il was estimated b.
bankers, changed hands yesterday in
the foreign exchange market. A good
many Of these were absorbed privately
by banks with large foreign debts to
pay, but a large proportion went
through the regular public channels.
Notwithstanding the increased supply
of exchange against gram exports,
however, rates advanced to 4.9875 for
demand and 1926 for cables. There
Was a fair amount Of business in franc
cables at sos for the dollar. Checks
were quoted at q nominal figure Of DOG.
The advance in exchange rates IN
the face of the increased offering Of
grain bills was Rscribed by dealers
largely to the demand for credits on
London that waited until sterling
checks should decline below 500 before
making purchases of exchange. This
demand was supplemented with buying
by some of the banks preparing to fur
nish exchange against their quota Of
new city notes.
Cotton bills in quantity have yet to
make their appearance. Cotton, as one
dealer expressed 1t, has been orb
bin. out" instead Of moving in vol
NlulG
factorily financing exports. The banks
are refusing to buy bills unless they
are drawn against confirmed credits.
international bankers and others in
terested in the payment Of American
debts 10 Europe were not disposed
yesterday to pin too high hopes 10 the
made by a bankers committee
TO the Federal Reserve Board to form
a gold pool OF S15O,OOO,000, plainly as
aerting their disbelief that banks in
districts other than that Of New York
would readily part with gold TO help
what they would consider not even
New York City banks needs, but "Only
the needs Of some spectators in for
eign exchange who had got caught by
the war" They admitted, however,
the contention Of the plans cham
pions, that If Il fairly large amount Of
gold was accumulated the psychology
car effect of the intention TO pay gold
for foreign debts would probably be TO
cut down materially the amount theO-
reticslly necessary TO shin.

BUTCHERS FEAR

Retailer Ayers Packers
Control PriceS-CiteS
Advance in Liver.

Jacob Bloch, q retail butcher, ar
raigned the packers yesterday IN the
food inquiry conducted by William A.
De Ford, Assistant District Attorney,
before Magistrate McAdoo. The pack
ers had absolute control of meat prices
in New York, he said, and If prices
went up, they put them up.
There isn't a butcher in New York
City," said Mr.. Bloch, who couldn't
tell the same story that I do If he
dared But if he did his credit would
be cut. and he would find II difficult to
continue in the butcher business IN
New York
The price Of beef liyer--a meat much
used by the economical and in constant
demand-showed as well as anything
the power of the packers. said Mr..
Bloch Before the packing business
had reached high stage of organiza-
tion a butcher could get beef livers for
about 25 cents apiece. Now they cost
him from 81 2j to 81 90. All that could
be had were out Of cold storage, he
said, and at times the packers assert
ed they had no beef livers.
AT those very times" said Mr..
Bloch, Il have visited their storage
plants in picking out my meat and
When one packer denied possession
of beef livers all did, said Mr.. Bloch
just as when one raised the price on
any kind of meat there was not meat
of that grade TO be found anywhere at

Not content with controlling the sup
ply, the packers had entered the re
tail field in competition with the
butchers. said MIR. Bloch. Practically
the whole of the hotel, restaurant and
steamship trade, as well as that Of
many large boarding houses and hos
pitfalls, was handled by firms which were
in fact merely sales agencies for the
packers, he said
Mr.. Bloch had the following suggcs-
tons to make for cheaper and better
meat: An export duty on all meat, the
opening Of government lands for graz
ing purposes, no female calves to be
killed for q period of from three 70
FIVE years, no calves Of less than 100
pounds to be killed, the appropriation
of 10 per cent of the income tax
to open lands for grazing, packers to
sell only to retailers, government
slaughter houses.
Regarding the last suggestion Mr..
Bloch asserted that 80 per cent Of the
meat bought by the government for
army, navy and other uses was pur-
| chased from the trust"

ferstate Commerce Commission wou!d
soov order a resumption of the hear
;cgs on rate increases and that for the
frst time in many months the pros
meet for a substantial increase was OK
ceedingly bright. ~
How much Of an increase will lie
granted or when it will become erect
I'VE is entirely q matter Of speculauoh'
but with the reversal OF positions by
many Of the more rabid anti-railroau
men and the certainty that large snip
pers who in the past have fought any
increase tooth and nail will be tound

terests when the hearings are resumed
il is felt that the commission. Will be
compelled by mere force OF pubic
opinion 70 make more liberal allow

II is stated that such Senators as
Cummins of Iowa, who has been IN
the front rank of those opposing any
increase in rates and in advocating
anti-railroad legislation, are now IN
favor Of giving tire railroads higher
cOmpensation for tneir services.
The explanation of this reversal OF
front is that the members of Congress
who have been so prominent in their
opposition to the railroads have heard
from home" The influence Of ,he
President has also had its effect. lie
has let it be understood that any move
ment to secure higher rates that took
the proper procedure would have his
entire support, and 1t is understood
that the conference of yesterday was
held st his request after he had thor
oughly canvassed the situation with
persons familiar with the situation in
whom he had every confidence. These
showed conclusively that the railroadl
of the country were facing the most
serious crisis in their history.
Secretary McAdoo and members OF
the Federal Reserve Board take tho
ground that an increase in rates IS
iustifable and necessary.
