Times' Want Ads. Bring Results

New York, Oct. 19. The most startling development In the present political campaign in this state came when Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, publicly charged that mon

ey had been demanded by representatives of the Independence League in consideration of the withdrawal of their candidates In certain districts, and the subsequent serving upon Murphy of a subpoena to appear before the grand jury in "John Doe" proceeding's and testify as to his charges. The subpoena was issued by District Attorney Jerome after a conference with Judge Otto A. Rosalsrky, of the court of general sessions, who Murphy intimated had given up money for the indorsement of the League. Denial Made by the League. In his statement Murphy charged that certain Independence Leaguemanagers had demanded money for the withdrawal of their candidates in congressional, senatorial and assembly districts where a third ticket had been put in the field. He added, however, that William R. Hearst, the Independence League and Democratic candidate for governor, knew absolutely nothing of what was going on In this connec

tion. The Independence League head

quarters made a positive denial of Murphy's charges, adding that If any one connected with the organization had attempted to "hold up" candidates they would be glad to know of it. Murphy Makes His Meaning Clear. Murphy charged that "the managers

of the Independence League at the

Odsey House are holding up candidates for cash." "Do you mean that the individual candidates of the Independence League are holding up Tammany Hall candidates for money, or Is it being done by the managers of the Independence League at the Gilsey House?" Murphy was asked. "I mean the managers. They have a lot of them up there, but I don't know who they are. I mean the managers," reiterated Murphy. Thinks Some One Got Money. Murphy said that the nominations made by Tammany Hall in this city would be insisted upon regardless of any action taken by the Independence League. "There is n disposition on the part of the Hearst managers not to withdraw the name of Judge Rosalsky. What do you think of it?" Murphy was asked. "I think that some one got some of his money." the Tammany leader replied. Judge Rosalsky was nominated for the court of general sessions by the Republicans, and his candidacy was indorsed by the Independence League.

THINKS IT IS A ROORBACK"

Hearst's OpinioHi of the Charge Made by Leader Mnrphy, Ogdensburg, X. Y., Oct. 10. Th city of Ogdensburg gave an enthusiastic welcome to Hearst. There was n big crowd waiting at the station when the Hearst train arrived, which packed to suffocation the Opera House, where he spoke. As the . procession of carriages passed from the station to the hall the streets were lined with cheering people. Hearst was greeted with continued cheering, while hundreds of flags In the hands of the audience fluttered in greeting. The most striking part of the address was Hearst's demand for a more equal distribution of wealth. With the Ogdensburg meeting ends Hearst's tour of this "north country." Hearst was shown the Associated Tress dispatch setting forth Charles F. .Murphy's statement that certain representatives of the Independence League had demanded money for the withdrawal of the League candidates, and said: "I Imagine Murphy's vague charge is a campaign roorback. If he has any reasons to sustain such a charge it is his duty, as of all American citizens, to administer the most stinging rebuke possible at the polls to the guilty parties. But If he has no s:ch evidence the statement is unworthy of belief and should react on its author. I sincerely hope the grand jury wjll investigate fully so that complete justice may be done and either the guilty disgraced or the innocent vindicated."

VARDAMAN'S DOMINANT ISSUE

i He Declares It la the Negro QuestionCrisis at Hand. Chicago, Oct. 19. Announcement of a carefully planned campaign to secure the repeal of the fifteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States, that which gives the negro equality with the white man as a citizen, was made by Governor James K. VardamanVpf Mississippi, who was in Chicago attending the railway surgeons' contention. Governor Vardaman, who is seeking- election to. the United States senate, declared that'lf he won a membership in the upper house of congress he would make his fight on the floor of that body, believing that he had the support of the entire south. He insisted that a crisis in the relation of the races in the southern states was at hand end the problem of white supremacy or black domination should be settled at once. He iec!.ue 1 that education and civil equality only made the negro more- criminal and animal, and that by abrogating the fifteenth amendment he would be put where he belonged. Xobody denied a difference between white and Chinese or Indians, and there was just as wide a difference between the white and the black. "How soon do you expect this crisis?" "It is nearly due," said Governor Vardarnan. "The matter of white supremacy or black domination in the south is at fever heat and the sooner the north and the west realizes this the better it

will be for the nation."

FIIIE SEA MARKSMEN

rVien on the Maine Do Some Remarkable Shooting at Four Thousand Yards.

TARGET IS TORN TO TATTERS

Practice Was Entirely New to the Men British Sea Terror Dreadnaught's Gun Trials Successful,

Xew York, Oct. 19. The battleship Maine, flagship of Rear Admiral Evans, has reached port from the Massachusetts coast where she engaged In target practice. According to a report that has reached shore through gome of the crew all gunnery records were broken by the Maine's gunners. It is said that twenty-nine out of a possible thirty-nine hits were made in firing a port broadside of 6-inch guns at a target 4.000 yards distant. The target was C0x30 feet and was knocked down, ft is stated, by the thirty-ninth shot. The cuus were In charge of Lieutenant .Williams-, Ensign Leahy and Midshipman Sweeney. New Practice for the Gunner. The practice was new to the gunners of the T'nited States navy. It is known as broadside firing, all the guns on one side of the ship being fired on signal at a target placed not less than 4,000 yards away. 'The first broadside of five shots went wide. The second broadside took from twenty to thirty second to fire; then as the range was found the guns were loaded and fired faster and faster until eight broadsides were fired in 1G0 seconds. World' Record Is Made. A world's record with the Maine's 12-Inch after-turret guns was established for night shooting by Midshipman Bryan McCandless and his gun crew. Out of twelve shots fired while the rays of a searchlight played on a small target (17x2 v feet) placed 4,000 yards away, they made six hits. Lieutenant Roger Williams, at the forward turret guns, also made a record of eleven hits out of sixteen shots. The Missouri's men made eleven out of fifteen shots.

DREADN AUGHT A GREAT SHIP

Provided That with All the Noise She Hits the Mark. Portsmouth, Oct. 19. The successful conclusion of the trials of the British battleship Dreadnaught, the latest exponent of the theory that future wars will be with great battlqshlps, heavy armament and huge guns, will not fail to give intense satisfaction to the British press and public. This is because, for one thing, there have been some anxiety and gloomy prognostications that hte Dreadnaught would not stand the strain of. the tremendous discharge of her great broadside fire, and also because the successful surmounting of her trials disproves completely the rumors that there was scamped and hurried work in the construction of the battleship. Even the eight gun salvo, said by those on board to have been terrifying, produced no serious injury. Xo deck plates buckled, nor was the blast dangerous, although there was some injury to the vessel's lighter fittings-. One reason for this is found In the great length of her guns, which brings the muzzles clear of the ship's side when firing onjthe beam. The discharge of all eight of the Dreadnaught's 10 and 12-inch guns simultaneously represented three tons of metal in projectiles. The roar of this salvo was heard plainly in Portsmouth and all over the Isle of Wight. Officers of the highest rank and experienced in ordnance matters were present. After the tests of the lighter guns had been concluded the Dreadnaught fired her 10 and 12-inch guns, first singly, then in pairs, and Anally all eight of them, composing her broadside, simultaneously. Each gun was loaded with the full service charge of 265 pounds of cordite and an 850-pound projectile. Wreck Incident Is Amusing. Superior, Wis., Oct. 19. The Northern Tacific passenger train from the Twin Cities was wrecked at State Line, twenty-five miles from this city. At that point the Great Xorthern crosses tue Xorthern Pacific and in some unexplained manner a box car was left on the crossing of the Great Xorthern tracks. A tramp asleep in the box car escaped injury, although the car was demolished. I immediately after being awakened the tramp started looking for his hat to the great amusement of the passengers. Child Slakes the Best Bread. Waverly, la., Oct. 19. Bremer county claims to have the youngest bread maker in the state, and as evidence of that fact points to the success of 6-year-old Florence Ormstrom, of Warren township, who has just been awarded the second prize in the fair exhibit for baking the second best loaf of bread in the entire lot submitted. Tnere were many competitors, but Miss Florence's loaf was considered by tne judges to rank but a trifle below tnat which took the blue ribbon.

Humor end Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

HAPPY, THOUGH RICH,

It Is easy to bo happy If the rent is overdue When you own the blo,omlnsr building And the rent's to come to you. Whila the other fellow hustles. Sweating blood and gTowing thin. Tou can climb into your auto, Very likely, for a spin. It Is easy to be happy When your wifs desires a dress If your fortune, though uncertain. Has seven figures, more or less. Tou, can yawn and read your paper And with great complacence say, "Sure; erct twenty when you're getting. Or a dozen anyway." It is easy to be happy If some simple friend you know Who will stake you for a dollar When your coin is running low. Who will come and force it on you And forget about the loan. Who will make you use his money Just as though it were your own. Yes. this thing of being happy Is as simple as a play. If you only have the money. You can seldom lose the way. Oh, they say. you cannot buy it. But if that is really true You can get an imitation That will very nicely do!

"Snch wonderful sunsets!" said the new boarder at the summer resort. "Wonderful sunsets, and Just to think that it is all free." "Free nothing," muttered the old grouch. "Don't you suppose they charge you for this m the board bill?"

No Longer a Luxury. A southern jury told the court it would act no longer unless served baseball bulletins, and the court, recognizing that jurors are entitled to all of the necessities of life, hastened to comply with the demand. This is only one Instance. A Kansas farmer who couldn't keep his harvest hands any other ' way arranged for a score board at the end of the field, In which the big games of the day were reported by Innings. That seemed almost like having all of the comforts of the race track to the men, and they stayed. We may live without poetry, music or art; we may live without embalmed beef if we have a good breakfast food substitute; we may live without automobiles, airships and collar buttons, but modern man cannot live and get anything out of life without the baseball score.

Useless Without Action. Oh, what's the use of money Or goods upon the shelf If when you get a tidy roll You never blow yourself?

Wanted It All Right. "I'd have you know that I have a will of my own, my dear." "I trust It is in my favor, so I won't have to break it," replied his wife.

Like a Free Show. -"Here Is an account of a couple that paid 13 cents to get married." "Bet it will cost them more than that to get out."

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

To be popularly unpopular cultivate a taste for the affairs of your neighbors. Afc marriage certificate is the enly thing that stands between some men and starvation.

"When a man has business downtown nights it Is a pretty good sign that marriage isn't wearing the golden crown of success in that family. Life will be without savor for some people since the baseball season is closed. Success is an example of the arrival of the fittest. Empty headed people are not so objectionable as those who have a head full of old junk. You might as well talk about a deserving thief as to talk about an honest vice. It is a marvel how some people find time to sleep because they feel that the world needs their attention every minute. So many people sympathize with yon In your troubles only to gain your confidence that they may relate their own. If dimples were selling for a dollar a dozen most of c would pay to get id of ours.
