Oh Henry always retained the
whimsical sense of numor which
made him quickly famous. One time
he called on the cashier Of a New
York publishing house, after vainly
writing several times for check
which had been promised as an adj
vance on his royalties.

'but Mr.. Blank, who signs the
checks, is laid up with sprained

There cannot be representative

the representatives Of the people owe

ing campaign funds, representative
government Is lost. The body of the
republican-fusion members Of the last
legislature were the plant tools OF
their bosses. Never were men more
subservient to those who contributed
and controlled the money which had
elected them. The fusion coalition
decided on who should hold the offic-

should be passed. It gave its orders
and its legislative vassals obeyed.
Without even being consulted, not
even admitted to the conferences

NEW YORK CITY
BANKERS AGREE
THAT REGIONAL BANK OF VAST
SIZE SHOULD BE LOCATED
IN GOTHAM. =

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Tha federal
reserve organization committee today
concluded its hearings in New York,
having devoted three days to- ascer-
tanning the views Of New York bank
ers concerning the task with which
the committee is charged, Of setting
up the regional reserve districts pro-
vided in the new law and selecting the
cities in which the banks are to be
placed The committee, consisting
of Secretary McAdoo, of the treasury
department, and Secretary Houston,
of the department of agriculture, will
proceed tomorrow to Boston.
After the hearings here had been
completed, Secretary McAdoo was
asked whether he had been impress
ed by the arguments advanced almost
unanimously by the New York bank
ers who have appeared in favor OF
the establishment here of a regional
bank of such size that 1t would over
shadow all others. >. .~. =.
Il hope" said the secretary smil-
ingly, chat l am not as green as
look"
Mr.. McAdoo would say nothing
more, further than that the commit
tee had. reached no conclusions.
Those who attended the hearings and
listened to the objections raised by
the committee to the proposal of q
huge New York bank believed the
most probable solution Of the question
in the light of evidence so far ad
duced was the placing Of three oil
four regional banks on or near ths
Atlantic seaboard, instead OF having
one large district centering in New
York and including New England
and part of all Of the middle Atlantic
states.

NASHVILLE, Jan. Sin prepara-
ton for the 1914 gubernatorial and
supreme court campaign, Chairman ].
D. G. Morton, of the state democratic
executive committee, has addressed
to all members of that committee and
to all democratic chairmen through
out the state communication in
which he defines the issues which
shall confront the democratic party
and sounds a warning against affllia-
ton with any interest which would
serve to stultify the party's efforts.
In the opinion of Chairman Nor
ton, the salvation of the democratic
party in Tennessee consists in an I'M
swerving support Of the prohibition
law, a vigorous and concerted war
fare upon the corrupt bosses, and no
modification of the temperance stat
utes, save such as will secure more
speedinly and more effectively the
ends sought by temperance. Setting
municipality bosses, backed by an I'M
lawful liquor traffic, above the COM
monwealth will destroy representative
government, for which the party has
at all times stood, he declares.

to our campaign from any source
which, by control Of the funds, may
seek to direct our politics.
The party must not be used to fur
Their the schemes Of any interest or
Of any combination Of political manip-
ulat0rs.
We must be more than an Office
seeking, patronage distributing organ
zation. Two things must be our aim
to restore representative bovern-
ment and to inaugurate the rule of
law i'm Tennessee.
Many returned to the party in 1912,
served it loyalty and gave it strength;
others promised loyalty, obtained
their price and then betrayed us. To
place our trust in these would gain
us weakness and not strength. They
can make no promises more binding
now than those they made and broke
in 1912. They can give no pledges
more sacred than those they then re-
pudiated. If for success we must de-
pend ON the purchased loyalty of
these, we cannot succeed.
An honest man may trust knave
and be deceived once; who trusts
him twice is fool.
Many will return to us this year
because they believe the democratic
party will give good government to
Tennessee. These we must have. -
The democray of Tennessee and its
every platform pledge is for law en-
forcement and respect for law. 1t
cannot be true to itself, to the body of
its voters and to its pledges except
by standing for good government,
temperance and the elevation OF the
morals of the people.
The question in Tennessee Is not
of the wisdom or unwisdom OF any
law. 1t is, shall law or lawlessness
be supreme? Shall municipal bosses,
backed by an unlawful liquor inter.
est, be more powerful than the com.
mon wealth?
We must insure the people that we
will maintain the prohibition law un
defiance to 1t has ceased, until Its
notification is at an end In every
county in the state. No change
should be considered until this &C
complished, no modification ever
made at the suggestion or in behalf oil
the liquor interest, or the bosses
which 1t has placed in power. When
the present law is changed 1t must
be by the friends of law, and only
modified to secure a measure thai
more effective accomplishes the ends
of temperance.
For the people to trust US on thi.
they must know, and It must be true
that we. our nominees, end those
having In charge our campaigns, vii

NEW TRANSFER
SYSTEM AGAIN
UNDER DEBATE
Board of Works Probes Pro-
posed Bergen, Clifton and
Kinney Changes.

Several proposed changes in the
local streetcar transfer system were
taken up at conference of the men,
bers of the Board of Works this aft
erpoon.
The proposed changes are result
of the new arrangement between the
city and the Public Service regarding
transfers on transfer.
1t has been agreed by the trolley
corporation to give transfers on a
transfer on the Clifton, Bergen and
Kinney lines. The purpose is to per-
nit the passenger ride within the
city limits for one fare, where the
transfer will not be used to make a
return trip.
1t Is planned to use new color
system on transfer on transfer
lines. The color will make it iinlffe-
diately obvious to the conductor the
direction from which the passenger
came.
Bids for the new trolley tunnel be-
meath Milarry Park to the site of
the proposed Park place terminal are
being received today by the Public

o oelock this morning over the merits
of the story told by Miss Sullivan,
the jury found themselves hopelessly
deadloeked. Eight of them. it was

wealth and position TO impress the
girl to her ruin; four believed her an
who guiiely squeezed the
millionaire for money.
One of the jurors admitted, after
they had been discharged by Justice
Gavegan today that at one time the
Jury stood nine TO three for the
girl The jurors, ne said. had even
got down to figures and the gen.
eraI feeling was that s50,o00 would not
be too much for Hoe to pay. Final
decision in the case, however, brought

resented this. the four who stood out
were SO cemented in their resolve

''STRAPHANGERS"
MUST PAY, SAYS
PUBLIC SERVICE

Although Justice Swayze gave a
no seat no fare" decision in a trolley
company case in Trenton yesterday,
John L. O'Toole, publicity agent for
the Public Service Corporation, said
today straphangers hereabouts will
not be permitted to ride free for the
time being at least.
The justice upset the conviction by
a lower court of Calvin Burns, who
was arrested for disorderly conduct
and trespassing after refusing to pay
his fare on a trolley car in Pleasant
Vile Justice Swayze held Burns did
not enter the car with the intention
of defrauding the company.
Mr.. O'Toole said the Public Serv-
ice Railway Company would not at
tempt to learn the bearing of Justice
Swayze's decision on the operations
of its lines until an official copy of
the decision was obtained. Person
ally. he said he was of the opinion
the decision would apply only 20
railroadx not to trolley companies.
But. anyhow, he added, all pas
sengers who are taken on Public
Service cars in the immediate future
will lbe expected to pay their fares
whether they get seats or not

DISAPPEARANCE
REVEALS LARGE
EMbEzZLEMENT
Harry A. Madden, Gone Since
October, Now Accused of TAX
ing 81, 900 from Employer.

Judge Hahn, in the First Criminal
Court today, issued a sarran, for the
arrest of Harry A. Madden, now
missing, but formerly of 50 Colt
street, Irvington, on a charge of en-
bezzlement. Frank Kearny, of the
VreeIand- Kearny Lumber Company,
of Frelinghuysen avenue, accuses
Madden of embezzling at least $4,000
from the firm when employed as its
bookkeeper. A representative of the
lumber company said today Madden's
alleged peculations may reach 100000.
Madden, VINO was formerly en-
ployed in the box office at. the Velo-
drome, and is we'll known in sport
ing circles here, disappeared from
his Irvington home on October IS,
last His wife informed the police of
his absence, and a search was begun,
but no trace of Madden was found.
At that time the members of the
lumber company informed the police
that Madden was a trusted employe
and secuted the idea that any ir-
regularities in his accounts might
have led to his disappearance. Later,
however, the lumber company en-
ployed a firm of expert accountants
to examine it's books, and the audi
tors, it is said, quickly brought to
light evidence that the books had
been juggled.
The work of auditing the books
was completed in the last few days,
and today Mr.. Kearny went before
Judge Hahn and charged Madden
with embezzlement.
