' Just before Richard Croker sailed for
: Ireland, there was a conference at the democratic club over which the exleader and the present Tammany chief Charles Murphy, presided. Mr. Er-
langer's name was brought up. It !
said, and was more favorably considered than any other discussed. It was pointed out that he has gone so high in theatrical matters that he is virtu
ally at the top now, and has time to
devote to outside affairs. Might Be Acceptable.
It was even Intimated that an invitation to head the ticket might not take Mr. Erlanger entirely by surprise
or find him unalterably opposed to the honor.
The question of expense would not
enter Into the calculations, as Mr. Er
laager hae amassed a fortune which Is
conservatively estimated at $5,000,000. He Is already a member of the general committee of Tammany Hall and his brother, Michael Erlanger, is a supreme court justice and a staunch Tammany man and was elected by the
biggest plurality on the ticket.' The
Democratic leaders, it it said, consider that he has all the necessary quai ities for a winning leader, v
EXPECT TO BENEFIT
Decision of Interstate Commerce Commission Helps Manufacturers.
IT STOPS UNFAIR RATES
Local manufacturers ezoect to ben
efit by the recent decision of the interstate commerce commission which will tend to put a stop to discriminate rates In favor of Chicago shippers to the west The Rock Island railroad
Is pointed out as the chief offender,
The ruling of the commission prevents
different rates being bestowed on manufacturers in and around Chicago than
those accorded snipers in the Indiana
-gas, belt and this city. -
The railroads have divided the ter
ritory between Chicago v and Cincin
natl. ' The manufacturing plants lo
cated In what was designated Cincinnati territory have been charged high
er, rates west of Chicago than those lo
cated nearer the Windy City in Chica
go territory. It is claimed the rates
charged shippers from the Cincinnati
territory have been unfair and result
in detriment to factories.

PEOPLE WILL LOOK TO THE CITY
ATTORNEY TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS IN DRAWING UP A SUITABLE FRANCHI8E.
Public sentiment is asking: that
there be more light thrown upon the
hot water heating system project. Star chamber sessions have been held with the board of public works and only those deeply Interested have been apprised of such meetings in advance. The city will have to look to the city
attorney for the protection of its in
terests. Attorneys say nothing can be expected from the clause in the proposed franchise which off era to pay a percentage of the net earnings of the system to the city. They say it would be easy to make It appear the plant had no net earnings.
No Report Is Made. A committee of council and the
board of works has been taken to visit
other cities in the state where similar
plants are in operation. Nothing has
been forthcoming as the result of theeo visits in the nature of a report. The
entire affair is shrouded in obscurity. The public has not been given to understand anything in connection with the proposition other than that a fran
chise is sought.

HE REPLIED WHEN ASKED IP HE WOULD STAND FOR ANY HOLD-UP" STATUTE.
Washington, May 14. A revisionist
who had grown restive and impatient under Mr. ' Taft's silence, sent down
from the capitol to the white house
and said:
"Mr. President, practically every
member of the house and senate, organization men and insurgents alike, Is saying these days that you will sign any sort of tariff bill that is sent
to you. whether it is an honest re
vision downward or not."
"Senator Aldrich doesn't think so,"
is the reply the revisionist says he received from the president.
Didn't Get Angry. The revisionist came back to the
capitol and old some of his associates how his news was received: "He didn't get angry. He didn't even look
surprised. He just looked straight at
me with his big. honest gray eyes, and
said, 'Senator Aldrich don't think so
We have interpreted his present si
lence wrongly."
It is this tale and others like it that
have brought into being the new note of optimism which is just beginning to be heard in predictions as to what will be the final form of the tariff law now framing. Senators who have been hand in glove with Mr. Aldrich and largely in his confidence, are now
predicting that notable revisions downward will be made before the new tariff law leaves congress.

Children participating In the fairy play In Dreamland" at the coliseum this evening, and tomorrow afternoon were given a free trolley ride over the entire city last evening, by the Richmond Street and Interurban. Railway company. Two summer cars were loaded to the guards. In the first car a local band played continually and as a result of the noise made by this organisation and the yelling of the children, the show was well advertised. On each end of the cars, red fire was burned.

A WOMAN AFTER HIS JOB
LITTLE TOWN IS NOW DIVIDED INTO FACTIONS, AS TO WHETHER A WOMAN Oft A MAN SHOULD BE APPOINTED.
Local interest is shown in the Up
land school embroglio, which has been
precipitated Dy tne candidacy , oc a
young woman teacher for the superintendence. The trouble was started
wnen waiter Fainter resigned as superintendent. Painter is well known in this city. He was a student at
Earlham college for several years. He resigned a short time ago and in the applications that havo been filed with the town school board ia that of Miss Luna Dickerson. It la all because Hiss Dickerson wants- to be superintendent that the fuss has been raised. The town Is divided in its opinion as to whether or not a woman should be the superintendent. Rather than face the music, which promises to provide a prolonged concert, T. E. Jonee, one of the members of the school board resigned. Jones believes Miss Dickerson is well qualified for the position, but she is a woman and rather than decide as to whether she ought to f have the position he chose to give up his job. Corner Favors Her. Another member of the ' ; board is Bert Korner. He, too, says there Is
tions of the applicant, and If it were not for her sex she would be chose.i
beyond a doubt. And he really feels so bad about It he may decide to over
look the matter of wearing apparel, et
cetera, and decide sho is the proper
person for the place. Since Jones has resigned the contention over the question will become all the more- enlivened. The advocates
of woman's rights will try to select a
member favorable to Miss Dickerson, and those who oppose a woman as superintendent will , be just as active to make their candidate declare he will not tolerate a woman. In the meantime Painter believes it too bad be caused it alL

bers which- have Been put out by. the

partment at "biology, m recognition of
