SMITH CR|TIC|zES
 POLITICAL RIVALS
Raps Quigley and Bartlett in Pre-Primary Statement

In q final appeal for support at tomorrow primary of the republi- can party. Henry A. Smith, aspirant for the office of mayor, today criti- ciZed both of his rivals, declaring that George A. Quigley cannot fulfili his promise of reduced taxation without Interfering with necessary improvements, and that Donald L.. Bartlett has never introduced an item of beneficial legislation dur ing his six years in the common council
 Smiths statement follows: "Mr. Quigley says and he promises to re- duce taxes if he is elected mayor. desire to say to AIr. Quigley that it is impossible unless he stops all needed Improvements that have been provided in the budget for 1880. l fully agree with Mir. Quigley when he says that there are many properties which are not taxed as they should be, and l believe that a whole lot of property is assessed more than it should be. This can easily be changed, and if l am elected l will sec 10 1t that such remedies as can be carried out for the benefit of the rich and poor alike are invoked.

HE HAS IDEAS. ANYWAY

While the two major Republican candidates are concentrating on taxes and experience, one of the Re publican candidates-H. A. Smith repeatedly comes forward with statements that go further and say more than those mentioned by his colleagues for mayoral nomination honors on this ticket.
 Except for the moment when MT. Smith tried to inject something or other about the prohibition law into the primary contest-manifestly an unnecessary item in a municipal! election-he has not hesitated to grapple with more subjects than his adversaries
 Those with a knowledge Of local conditions obviously agree that Mr, Smith has no chance in the world in gaining the Republican nomination. Only he knows why he is running for the nomination., which if it doesn't leave him trailing behind the other candidates by consid er- able distance will be what reporters usually term a sensational sur prise"
 In yesterdays edition of this news paper he trotted forth quite live ly list of platform blanks. If the other candidates were not so busy trying to show the voters how eX- perienced they were or how they were going to meet the fina ncial sit uation of the city they might have time to think up something along the same lines.
 And when the question is one of experience, it looks to us as if MT. Smith has had plenty of political eX- perience somewhere or other, in Brooklyn or elsewhere. The gentle man even advocates the whipping | post for the suppression of crime, i reminding us once again that we | have favored that salutary method of punishment years ago. We would advise MT. Smith to | keep up his barrage Of ideas. That is what the campaign needs. He has no chance of the nomination, as
 previously stated, but his function seems to be to stand on the side lines and inject something to think about occasionally-something that is different from the talk about eX-
 periences and taxes.

 Rubbish and ashes should be re- moved from every house and store at least once a week, instead Of having a cleanup once a year. This would prevent frequent fires and heavy property damage, as well as reducing insurance rates. I favor new engine house for the west end of the city. with bumper and a company of eight men.
 T am in favor of q referendum to the taxpayers to let them decide by vote whether the policemen and firemen are entitled to an increase in wages. I favor free speech among the police and firemen, in or out of headquarters, and suggest reduc- tion in the price of electricity and gas used both in manufacturing and in private homes.
 If it can be done without inter- fering with the manufacturing ln- dustry l would suggest that the New Haven railroad be compelled to run its tracks underground at Main street. This would improve Main street, preventing congestion and saving lives.
 T have had long experience in water extension. trunk line sewer construction, building of schools, constructing new streets, etc, and can furnish proof of this claim
 Candidate Smith has several let ters of endorsement from men high in the federal government and from two judges of the supreme court of New York. He has promised, if elect ed, to devote his full time to the office.

WATZL INSURANCE
 POLICY IS VO|DED
Suicide Clause in Doctors Pa
 perS Prevents Payment

Vienna, March 27 [Pl - An aCci- dent and suicide insurance policy taken out by Dr. Hermann (ErnsD Watzl of Cleveland for his bigamous bride, Mrs. Mary McGranahan of that city, a few days before he shot her and then himself in hotel here, was said by the insurance company today to be void.
 The company said it would not pay the policy. which was made out to Mrs. Eva Hovarth of Cleveland. mother of Mrs. McGranahan. inas- much as the suicide clause was not operative for two years after issu ance of the policy, and because, be- sides. Watzl procured the policy un- der the false name of Flassak. It was secured on the second day of their arrival here.
 By shooting himself shortly be- fore midnight Sunday, at which time the premiums on his own pol icy of $35.000 expired, Watzl is be- licyed here to have assured collec- tion of the amount by his wife and two daughters in Cleveland.
 Watzl, a prominent chemist. dis appeared last November while cn route from Cleveland, O.. to Phila- delphia, Pa. He shot himself and Mrs. McGranahan, who he had mar ried although neither had a divorce, in hotel room here Sunday.

New York, March 27.-It IS pro- verbal that men and women gain the heights in New York at an al most total sacrifice of human com- panionship. With wealth and honor comes a monastic isolation. One enormously rich man can count only six who nave not used his friendship for them for personal advantage.
 This is the chief reason why sucn fortunes take to private yachts to roam the seven seas or to moated Long Island castles. Ninety per cent of the mail of John D. Rocke- feller and his son and J. P. Morgan consists of charity requests or ask ing personal favors.
 The multi- millionaire, has thus become almost as inaccessible as the monk in his cloister. Even in my time in New York one saw the Eeadlined financiers at the opera, at the play and concerts. And they frequently enjoyed promenades m the park and on the avenue. B IL not any more.
 In the past few years they have acquired the ncurotic remoteness of sanitarium invalids. They arrive at their places of business by secret entrances and are whisked to their offices by private elevators. In other days a single secretary acte1 as a buffer between them and the public.
 Today one must often run the gauntlet of half dozen before reaching the inner sanctum. It is such a tiresome process that few care to endure it. And as fo. reaching such notables on the tele- phone. even the most intima:t friends find such contacts well nigh impossible.
 When they ask over the phone for a big shot they are immediately gwen a private secretary who, be- fore he is told who is at the othtI end of the phone, announces: "Ah. 1bldllN lS liOl III lllt 'ltN. HIS i'c' become a set formula and aVerts embarrassment.
 Then by a process of questioning the secretary learns who is speak ing and if the telephone caller Is considered important enough he is later called up. Multi -mllionaireS do not attend public dinners as 8 rule and their circle of in mates k narrowed to a handful.

South American Group
Proves Strong Feature.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

0pcCIhi OlSphtCn 70 ne OthF.
NEW YORK, October 17-With the
exception of the South American group,
which continued its recovery in marked
fashion, bonds had an irregular trend
today
The market came under the influence
of renewed weakness in stocks and
there was additional forced selling of
secondary and third-grade domestic
descriptions. For the most part high
grade bonds held their levels. Con-
vertibles were off all around.
At the opening the individual feature
was the weakness in General Theaters
Equipment IS, which dropped over
points to a new low This reflected a
decline in the company's stock and
fresh uncertainty as to earnings for the
balance of the year. Other convertibles
to drop were Allegheny SIS, Baltimore &
Ohio AIS, Commercial Investment
Trust las, Philadelphia & Reading Coal
& Iron IS. Chicago & Northwestern
434s, and Warner Brothers Pictures IS.
The arrival of $15,000,00 in gold
from Brazil at time when that
country is plunged in a civil war proved
a reaSsuring factor for Brazilian Bonds.
Rio de Janeira IS ran up over 6 points,
Brazil 612s up l point and Soa Paulo
issues up about point each. Bolivians
also advanced, the rs of 1858 by z
points. and the rs of 1869 by 2 points.
Others to gain were Chile IS, Argen-
tine IS, Peru IS, Buenos Aires IS and
Santa Fe Is.
Other foreign dollar bonds that were
strong included Italy rs, Milan 6las,
Poland 8s and Is, Vienna 6S and War
saw rs. German bonds were fractiOnally
improved.
The new capital market had $2O, OOO,-
900 of Gillette Safety Razor Co. 1O-year
S per cent convertible debentures to
absorb. The debentures are convertible
into common stock of the newly merged
Gillette Auto Strop concern at any time
on the basis of 10 common shares for
each 81 900 debenture. The stock is
currently quoted little over $40. The
bonds were offered at 96.
In the prime domestic section Atchi-
son general As, Frisco A As, Standard
Oil of New Jersey SIS and Duquesne
Light 412s were shade higher, but
there were declines in Pennsylvania
41as, Union Pacific first As, Great
Northern Is and Inland Steel 4hs.
United States Government issues were
strong, Liberty first 4As going to new
high.
