DEMOCRATIC LEADER C0NTE8T8 SUIT FOR $20,000 WHICH SUM A PRESS AGENT 18 NOW TRYING TO 8ECURE.

New York', Jan. 10. Assemblyman Lewis Stuyvesant Cbanler, testified yesterday at the ..trial of William F. Clark's suit to recover 120,000 from him for bis services in furthering the Chanler boom for the Democratic presidential nomination in 190S. Chanler said he was drawn into the plan against bis own better judgment and had trouble in restraining William T, Manning, the chief boomer. Mr. Chanler said he first went to soo Manning in August, 1907, as a result of a talk with his brother, WilHam.' "My brother said to me: 'Lewis, I think the time has come for you to make good. You've been hanging iack down there' at Albany doing nothing. Now's the time for you to get busy and get your name in the papers.' Brother Downs Objections. "I told my brother that I thought I lad kept myself pretty well to the front and was satisfied that I was well known. Ho said : 'Now is the time for you to. come out and show what you are made of. There has been a good deal of feeling among the easterners against Bryan and we think now is the right time to crystallze the movement.' "I said I didn't think it would do any good to bring anybody out against Bryan because when the proper time came he would have the delegates. " 'You are not the best judge of that' my brother said. 'These people know more about it than you do.' "Who are they?' I asked. He told me that Manning was one of them and that 910,000 would be enough to start r the campaign. Canpot 8ee Publicity's Good. "I said: 'I don't believe in this publicity business, for I never saw any " good come from it.' He said: 'I know, but you don't understand what Man- ' nlng wants to do. He understands what he wants to do, and knows how he wants to do it. "If he gets you elected It will be a great thing for him as a publicity man." Mr. Chanler said that he raised $5,?' 000 as soon as possible, and gave it to his brother for Manning and later got together $10,000 more as soon as he could raise it. After that Clark told him things were going badly. Mr. Chanler said he had paid all he was going to. "Clark said: 'Then things will bust up,' and I replied: 'All right, let 'em bust!' " FRENCH LOOK FOR POUR SENSATION Dr. Jean Charcot, It Is Believed, Will Discover the South Pole. ABSENT FOR OVER A YEAR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE ANTARCTIC SUMMER HE HAS HAD TIME TO CROSS OVER FROZEN PLATEAU. (American News Service) Paris, Jan. 19. -France ia confidently, expecting in the near future to spring a Polar sensation that will rival the Peary-Cook episodes. Dr. Jean -Charcot, the interpid explorer, who sailed with a French expedition from Rio Janeiro October 22. 1908. Intend ing to penetrate to the South pole, has not been beard from since April 17, 1909, He was then at Deception Is land and since the beginning of the Antarctic summer he has had ample time to dash across the frozen pla teau that lies between that point and the Pole, providing such a thins is possible. The Charcot expedition was the best equipped that ever started for the Antarctic zone. His ship, the Ppurquoi Paz (why not) Is a stronger vessel than the Roosevelt, In which Peary negotiated the North pole, and his party Is composed almost entirely of men experienced in - polar exploration, i - AUDITOR III A SUIT For failure to pay up the interest aiid renew a school fund mortgage, suit was brought today In the circuit court by the county auditor In behalf of the state of Indiana, against Mrs. Laura Ebersole on foreclosure proceedings, demand $375.

Word has been received in this city

to the effect that Walter Henderson, formerly employed In the Second National bank in Richmond, is seriously ill at his home in Oakland, Cal., and is not expected to live. Mr. Henderson moved to California about ten years ago in the hopes that the change in climate would benefit his health. His condition improved at first, but for the past few years his health has generally declined. Several months ago Mr. Henderson de veloped a cancer of the bone and only recently it was necessary to . amputate one of his limbs at the hip in order to save his life. However, although the operation apparently was successful, the shock sustained was such that death is now feared. Mr. Henderson resided in Rich mond for many years. He is married and his wife is now with him in California. His mother and sister reside in this city and are expecting at any moment the sad message which will call them to the western coast. Mr. Henderson is one of the surviv ors of the great San Francisco earthquake in 1907, being in the Golden Gate City at the time of the terrible catastrophe, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives. He narrowly escaped being killed as the building in which he was sleeping at the time of the seismic disturbance was crumbled into ruins, and his fortunate escape from eerious injury or even death was the marvel of all who heard of his thrilling experience. "DOC" GENU GETS THREAT BY MAIL Street Commissioner Won ders If the "Black Hand" Is After Him. HE FIRES STREET WORKER AND AS A RESULT "DOC" GETS A ' SEVERE CALLING AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS BADLY BUTCHERED. An anonymous letter of a threaten ing nature was received yesterday by Street Commissioner D. C. Genn, from some person who is evidently dissatisfied over the discharge of Willis Laflin, a teamster, from the street clean ing department. The letter is signed A Friend to You." The writer is evidently a firm believer in the phonetic form of spelling and the way he butchered the English language was a sin. The letter stated that unless Mr. Genn re-employed Mr. Laflin he must take the "koncuqunses" of his act. The writer says that Mr. Laflin - is not angry at Mr. Genn, but that others are and trouble Is brewing. The letter is treated as a huge joke. No attention will be paid to the matter and no effort will be made to establish the identity of the author. Mr. Genn stated that he thought he knew who was responsible for the missive and was not much alarmed at the threat A BASKET BALL GAME (Palladium Special) Hagerstown, Ind., Jan. 19 A game of basketball between the local H.

MINERS 111 A SCRAP Question of Seating Organizers as Delegates Causes Very Hot Debate. LEWIS TO MAKE DEFENSE (American News Service) Indianapolis, Jan. 19. The factional squabble regarding the question of national organizers being seated as delegates in the convention, consumed today's session of the United Mine Workers.

Industrial and manufacturing concerns are crippled thousands of workmen are Idle and great damage already has resulted throughout Pittsburg's lowlands and in the flood sections of the Turtle Creek, Chartiers and Allegheny Valleys.

The smaller streams and tributaries in the three valleys have overflowed their banks and caused great damage.

The damage will reach way up into

Furs and overcoats were cast aside today, temporarily, for not one doubts that they will be brought into use many more times before the winter is over. However, it is certain that tLo heavy apparel was not needed today. The air was warm and balmy and the sun shone brightly. There was not a cloud visible throughout the day and the delightful weather was the chief topic of conversation everywhere. The mercury outdid itself rolling back to the comfortable mark after visiting in the region of zero for most of the time during the past month, and everybody welcomed the return of the silver liquid, too. That tired feeling infested many persons today. Spring fever has arrived but not "for keeps," for it is far too early for that disease to become generally prevalent in this community. 1 Today was an ideal one for walking and those who are fond of this healthful invigorating exercise were given a nexcellent opportunity to stretch their weary limbs after weeks of close confinement. Many automobiles were removed from storage where they had been placed during the winter and the buzz of the gasoline wagons was plainly audible on the country roads.

ETO MAKE ITS DEBUT On Evening of January 31, Three Sparring Contests Are Billed. i CHARLES OLSON COMING ON EVENING OF JANUARY 24 HE WILL TAKE ON GREAT FRENCH GRAPPLER, DE ROUEN WILL BE GOOD MATCH. Now that the' local police have declared their stand in respect to boxing matches, and stated that they have no objections to bouts being held in this city, providing the sport is clean and not brutal, local lovers of the game have arranged for some interesting bouts to be held in the coliseum on Monday evening, January 31. The pricipal match on that date will be between Kid Clark and Russell Van Home. The bout will be for ten rounds. Both are clever boxers and are about evenly matched. The next event will be a six round bout between Sammy Trott and Kid Griswold, both weighing under 105 pounds. Another curtain raiser to the big bout Young Lane and Lew Shilling will fight it out for four rounds. They are also in the light weight class, weighing 110 pounds each. On the same evening two wrestling matches will also be held. Billy Schober will test bis strength against John Larry while Nick Lewis will grapple with Charles Ole for honors. Olson to Appear Here. Two biz wrestline matches will be held in the Coliseum on Monday even ing, January 24. Charles Olson or Indianapolis, the local favorite, will be nitted asainst Rauel DeRouen. "the rough-house Frenchman." Notwith standing the fact that Olson weighs but 180 pounds and DeRouen tips the scales at 240 pounds, the great handicap in avoirdupois will not prevent the match from being decidedly interesting. It will be a case of cleverness and speed against brute strength, and it is the opinion of. the local followers of the game that Olson will be the victor. The match between Yousef Mahmout, "the terrible Turk," weighing 210 pounds and Stanly Fitzsimons, 200 Dound Australian champion, gives promise to be another hard fought con test, and one that will be Intensely interesting. TO RESCIND DEGREE University of Copenhagen May Withdraw Honor From Dr. Cook. FINAL VERDICT IS GIVEN Copenhagen, Jan. 19. The final verdict on Dr. Cook was passed today by the University of Copenhagen examining committee. Having reviewed the original notes in their entirety the committee confirms the previous opinion that Cook had not proved that he reached the pole. Some members of the consistory still maintain belief in Cook's honesty but brand him false as a scientist and explorer. This degree win likely be rescinded.

Its present organization is as large as any previous chorus which ever represented the city, but Prof. Will Earhart, director, and Geo. Eggemeyer, chairman of the chorus committee, are hopeful that its membership will be increased to more than 200. The orchestra has been practicing regularly e very Sunday afternoon and has mastered several of the difficult numbers to be rendered at the festival. However, it will, continue the regular weekly rehearsals that It may obtain the greatest perfection. The children's chorus has also been organized and started rehearsals. To Get Best Soloists.

Just who these singers will be are not known, but it' was stated this morning that they would be the best Some to whom Prof. Earhart has written are noted vocalists who make their beadquarters in New York City and Chlcago. The cost of putting on the festival will be very great. The budget, at present includes items totaling to an expenditure of $2,500, and it is probable that this amount will be increased a few hundred dollars as incidental expenses arise between now and May 24. As there ate but three concerts to be given the night of May 24, which will be by the chorus ot school children, assisted by the orchestra and the soloists, and the afternoon and evening meetings of May 25, the promoters of the festival will have to be gener ously supported. it II IS JOHN R.
