BROKERS FIGHT
FOR CURB STOCK
Nose Is Broken in Rush to
Buy Emma Copper
Issue.

Chester Gumpert. a broker, SUI
fered broken nose yesterday after
noon when the trading in Emma copper
issues on the curb was interrupted by
n free fight. Gumpert's assailant, the
head of a curb house caught short OF
the stocks, was not arrested.
The fight, which for a few minutes
assumed the proportions of riot, was
precipitated by the buying for the &C
counts of firms declared TO be in de-
fault OF their contracts. This buying,
done by brokers representing George
Graham Rice, who has the Emma
issues cornered. included transactions
for the account Of two New York Stock
Exchange houses. The amount involved
in the case Of each house was COM
paratively small.
After Gumpert was removed for sur
gical treatment the trading IN the Kicee
stocks was resumed, with several
strong-arm men scattered through the
crowd for the protection of brokers
against the angered shorts.
With these transactions on the curb
market the report became current that
the New York Stock tXchange mao
taken official notice of the charges OF
.bucketing orders made against some
OF its members in connection with
Rice's charges TO the District Attorney.
Assistant District Attorney y. X
Ryttenberg yesterday examined several
ether witnesses on the charges OF con
spiracy and bucketing orders made by
Rice. At the close Of the day he said
several days would be necessary to
complete the investigation. To him
District Attorney Swami gave three
kilograms purporting to have been
signed by John Calderwood, declaring
that the Emma mining companies are
fraudulent. These messages, addressed
to Mr.. Swami, Mayor Mitchell and post
Office Inspector Swain, were sent from
Chicago. A telegram was sent TO that
city instructing Calderwood to appear
before the grand jury with his EVIL
dence, if he has any.

PROSPERITY IN SPOTS,
FAIRBANKS DECLARES
Adversely Elsewhere, He Says,
Due to Democratic Policies.

Eugene, Ore, Oct. 6.-Charles W.
Fairbanks, Republican nominee tor
Vice-President, spoke here to-day on
the policies of the Republican ana
Democratic parties.
Charles L. Hughes stands for the
policies of the Republican party, and
these policies stand for the American
people" said Mr.. Fairbanks. THE
Democratic party is great hcklng
party, to use an Indiana phrase, ana
/ believe il will be kicked out on
November Z.
There is at the present time pros,
perity in spots-a kind OF leopard
prosperity-but in certain sections OF
the country, you know and know,
that there is adversely, and this has
been caused by the adoption Of the
policies of the Democratic party. The
Republican party spreads prosperity
from sea to sea-iike q blanket.
"The sixteen years from the begin
ming of the Mckinley administration
to the end Of the Taft administration
were golden years Of prosperity.
Under the Democratic Underwood law
the industries of the nation began to
furl their sails, and there was not
single part Of the country that did not
feel its effects"

HE AND EDISON
CHAT WITH MCCORMICK
Chairman Invites Them to
Luncheon and Gets Adj
vice on Publicity.

This is 70 announce that Henry Ford
is earnestly backing the candidacy Of
President Wilson and is willing TO do
anything in his power 10 help the cause
Of the President anything but con-
tribute to the campaign fund. II the
Democratic National Committee should
need a few reliable runabouts for light
campaigners: if il should care for
few repairs on the flivvers it now has
in use, or if it should need an orator
who specializes in peace propaganda,
why. Detroit's favorite son is the man
for them.
But what the Democratic National
Committees detectives are searching
the country for just now are a select
few millionaires who are DESTROYS Of
making generous gifts TO the campaign
fund. And that is exactly what Mr..
Ford insists he is not. The reason is
a secret which is being safely guarded
BY the three men who heard it-Thomas
Edison, Vance Mccormick, chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee,
and Mr.. Ford himself.
Ford and Edison See Mccormick.
Mr.. Edison and Mr.. Ford slipped into
New York and over to national head
quarters at just about lunch time. SO
Mr.. Mccormick, who had spent large
sums of other peoples contributions
telegraphing interviews from both men
throughout the country, smiled broadly
,v..tfaA kov +o lip NTH h i'm
at the Biltmore.
ave both are anxious to see Mr.. Will
son reelected, and we want TO know
how we can best help the cause" said
Mr.. Ford, speaking for himself and Mr..
Edison.
"Why, there are many ways" readily
agreed Mr.. Mccormick, drawing paper
from his pocket on which were marked
the sums needed to pay the big bills
that are received at headquarters daily.
Eyes, We might give you some good
ideas on publicity hurriedly added
Mr.. Ford.
"Why, I'm sure we could" said Mr..
Edison. "0nce the people learn the
facts there will be a landslide for the
President"
Contribute Publicity Ideas.
There was considerable more said
about methods of helping the cause,
but Mr.. Ford stuck to the proposition Of
helping on the publicity end of the
work, with the result that Mr.. McCor-
mick took his two visitors back to
headquarters and introduced them to
Robert W. Woollsy, head of that de-
partment
II was pointed out later that tele-
graph tolls and luncheons at the Bilt-
more could not be procured without
cash. but at late hour last night moth
inE had been learned Of any contribu-
tion from Nr. McCormick's visitors.
Throughout the day leaders at ma
tional headquarters received bulletins
from the depths Of Long Island telling
Of the activities Of Samuel Seabury,
who began his campaign for the Gov
ernorship in Nassau County during the
morning. He was described as arous-
ing great enthusiasm by assailing Gov
ernor Whitman as extravaganza and in
competent in practically every village
in the county.
Mr. Seabury spoke from an automo-
bile al practically all Of his meetings.
He will complete his Long Island tour
to-day preparatory to beginning his up
state trip Monday.

the Supreme Court to dismiss the suit
brought in that court by New Mexico
against Secretary Lane, of the Interior
Department, contesting title claimed
by the Federal government to coal

state claims the lands under Federal

DIR. Eva Harding Invited to Ex-
tend Olive Branch.
Friendship League SOlicits
Membership of Kansan.

DIR. Eva Harding. Democratic can
didate for congress, has been invited
to don the robes of peace and assist
other women to extend the olive
branch to the belligerent Japanese.
DIR. Harding today is in receipt of an
invitation to join the International
Woman's Friendship league.
The object of the league is to gain
the recognition of the government.
After this most important detail has
been completed the league will send
fifty representative American women
on friendly mission to Japan, as a
practical evidence of American SINGER
ity to establish peaceful and friendly
relations with Japan and prove to the
japanese women that Japanese tea is
properly appreciated by the women of
America.
A mere incident in the carrying out
of the leagues propaganda will be the
acquiring of a 100000 appropriation
to carry the white robed American
peace champions to foreign shores.
Dr.. Mary Walker, well known suf-
tragist, is president of the league.
This looks to me as about as sem
sible as sending the American fleet
around the world was Dr. Harding's
dry comment this morning.

KEYNOTER BY SENATOR JAMES
IS ONLY STELLAR ATTRACTION
ON DEMOCRAT PROGRAM TODAY

the declaration of principles but that
the relation of the United States with
the southern republic will be covered
in a general way in the plank deal
ing with foreign affairs. This plank
will declare that every nation has a
right to regulate it's own internal af-
fairs.
Want to Please PrOgressives.
Adequate protection for Americans
at home and abroad will be among
the pronouncements and a permanent
peace tribunal will be looked upon
with favor. There will be a prepared
ness plank for defense that will not
only satisfy Democrats but will please
the Progressives, the leaders said.
The platform will contain an unequiv-
ocal expression against war for ag-
grandizement.
IF there is any friction in the reso-
lutions committee it will come over
the equal suffrage question There
are some committeeman who are op-
posed to any reference to the equal
rights questions, some want q deciara-
ton along the lines of the plank in
serted in the Republican platform,
while there are still other committee
men who would favor a federal con-
stitutional amendment giving women
the right to vote. While opinion is
divided there were predictions made
that the Democratic party would go
at least as far as the Republican party
and probably a little further by max
ing a stronger declaration in favor of
the principle of woman suffrage.
The suffragists were quite active
today, they expressed confidence in
getting strong recognition for their
cause. Little was heard today of the
vice presidential booms that are still
in existence. Several of the little
booms have faded away leaving in the
field those of Vice President Marshall,
Governor Major of Missouri. Governor
Morehead of Nebraska and Roger c.
Sullivan of Illinois
Withdrawal Reports Numerous.
1t was reported and denied that
Governor Major would withdraw to-
day. 1t was also said Mr.. Sullivan
would withdraw his candidacy today
at a meeting of the, Illinois delegation.
Some of the enthusiastic friends Of
Governor Glynn talked of starting a
vice presidential boom for him but the
former New York governor would not
listen to it.
The Democratic national committee
will meet for organization next Mon
day. 1t is reported Homer S. Cum
mings of Connecticut, may be elected
national chairman if he is satisfac-
tory to President Wilson. A report was
revived today that President Wilson
may be invited to come here and ad-
dress the convention before it ad-
journs but party leaders said there was
no definite move being made in that
direction.
