But. in our o7in- lon Quigley is too well vorsed in the poliuc8I game 70 attempt II again Ius- nov. We doubt that he could collect q handful Of the votes n the convention 10 nominate. Ue doubt that he would get any appreclabIc support. even from New Britain. for several reasons. He IS no favorite with rhe machine in the city. we venture 10 assert He was backed at the polls because there was no alter native at the mayoralty election. We suspect that the regulars here would not hesitate 10 give Tenn their sup port. unless IL appeared that th- district machine was moi back of -im They owe # 10 him anyhow, hat is politics.

 QuigIey knows all this as well as we do, his aspirations are not so great they blind him to the facts. Whereupon the individual more or less versed in the ways of politics will put a construction upon the hint thrown out, that IS In accord with the game as it is played And that is that His Honor wants some one. possibly Geymour's workers to come to him for little swapping of some kind.

 The method of operation of the takers is readily understood by any one who wishes to spend the time watching their auctions. Samples that are superior to the articles actually handed over the counter to the buyer, are first displayed; when the bidding opens certain gentry in the audience, well versed in their Jobs, force the bidding. They are there to make sure that the sellers more than break even on the cost Of the goods and if they can find some one who is anxious 10 get some par ticular object they keep the bidding open until he pays dearly for his avidity. Finally the buyer often dis appointed with his purchase once it Is handed hlm has not the nerve 10 demand that he get what he thinks he paid for and retires from the scene.

CHI ECH STREET RACKETEERS

While New Britain police discuss the methods Of Chicago gangstels. rackcteers flourish on Church street without police interference.
 Bandits of the middle west prefer rum running and bootlegglng as their means O. livelihood but the Church street racketeers seem satis- fed with their racket, which is simply what it's name implies IL IS racket in the old-fashioned sense of a disturbance. not in the modern meaning at all.
 Starting at o'clock In the eve ming and keeping at 1t until neigh bors begin to thlnk an endurance contest is under way. these racket cers gather in front Of almost any lighted building and in loud voices discuss sports and politics.
 Friends pass by in automobiles and loud greetings are called. In some instances these greetings de velop in-o prolonged conversations, the participants remaining on their respective sides Of the street
 Two hotels in the vicinity seem unaware of the dsturbsnce which occurs with almost nightly regulari- ". Frequently guests, garbed in pa iamas. call down to the noisy group and in more or less profane language request that they quiet down.
 During 1arm weather when everyone keeps all available windows open 10 the top and when sleeping IS difficult anyway these racketeers are more annoying than ever. Some rlmes they tire Of standing still so take seat n parked car and talk away until some resident in the nelzhborhood objects Then follows a trade O. abuse that IS refreshing in is lack ot any rules of grammar. Instead of begging pardon for rudely disturbing the ob1ector's slumbers or mut.erlng 10 each other about .cranks" and crabs the racketeers .oclterously. and frequently pro- fanely, invite the house owner TO come outside and have his face mashed in" Or undergo any other form O. punishment which these choice souls evidently regard as due 10 those Hho are so minimizing as 10 vlzh them 10 talk in 2 modulated voice

DRY DOCK HEAD
 DIES SUDDENLY
Edward p. Morse SuCCuInbS as
 He Builds House

Deep Brook, Digby- County, N. s. Aug. 27 [P-Edward P. Morse. who rose from shipsmith to head of s2O.0O0,000 dry dock firm in New York, died suddenly yesterday while supervising construction of his new home here. He was 72 years old.
 He and Mrs. Morse had been here all summer. They were building s250.000 mansion on the shores of Digby Gut. He died before medical aid could be summoned.
 At the time of his death. Mir. Morse was chairman of the board of the United Drydocks company Of New York city. which was formed about IS months ago by a merger of his Morse Drydock and Repair company with five other New York companies. At the organization he became president and continued in that office until few months ago.
 He was a native of Clements port. N. S.. and started his career at Yarmouth, N. S. as forge man in the repairing of sailing vessels. At the age of 19 he moved to Bos- ton but after a short while went to New York. He followed his trade for time with Jones &3 Lewis, concern which repaired sailing ves- sels, and later bought out the firm and converted it into the Dry Dock company. He erected a large plant at the foot of 56th street in Brook lyn.
 Surviving are his wife, two sons, Edward P. Morse, jr., and Roy Morse. and daughter, Mrs. Jessie Bishop.

New York. Aug. 27.-When so- ciety reporters are stumped for the low down on high sitters in the 400" world they do not consult Social Registers or Almanacks de Gotha. They consult Theodore - Theodore of the Ritz, most famous of all head walters and an encyclo- pedia of the elect.
 For more than % years in New York. London. Paris, Berlin and Ccnstantinople he has been humor- ing rich students of gastronomy. He has bestowed his oddly' impcrious bow of obcsiance upon dukes, princes. Wall Street millionaires and other possessors of the earth, in cluding kings.
 Brillat- Savarin declared feeding kings was equivalent to ruling empires. This was the excellent cAaggcration of an excellent cook, hut certainly Theodore has a world of his own over which he rules - amiably, suavely but ever firmly.
 I have been observing Theodore for years, and his art of seating an undesirable behind a palm next to the orchestra bass drum smacks of wizardry He does it so graciously the patron instead Of feeling slight cd is beNitChed. He comes back for more.
 Theodore, 1t strikes me. is at his best at lunch time. When he stands at the portals in gray morning suit with a lapel nosegay of white and eye glass ribbon of black - every inch the aristocrat He suggests the poised eagle, ready to sWoop down and carry something deslrab away.
 But Theodore's swoop is to carry some favored satrap to a select ta- ble and express in oleaginous mur- murs his pleasure and solicitation. Theodore is an old friend, and l have al times tried to puncture his gravity with a little kidding. 1t Can- not be done. He takes his job as seriously as Einsteln.
 When the last light in his cafe is d!mmed at night, Theodore slips into business clothes. leaves his post by 9 private entrance, steps into a pUrring limousine and is whisked away. An hour later he is among his flowers. books and collection of rare paintings at his WestChester estate
