3 ALL PARIS ARE -FOR OWNERSHIP But Most of Them in New York Only Talk and Mean Nothing by It. TAMMANY MAY INDORSE IT Tim Sullivan Returns From Glasgow With Visions of Eternal Tam many ControlRepublican Jcfeat Is Assured. v-.t?iv rnnif Rent 8. tSneciaU Muni- cfeal awnership Is certainly going -to cut cMslderablo figure In tne coming cm ewna4Kn. That Is, It will figure in uuk. Tm revise Roosevelt's famous saying, "It will be words, not deeds,, that will count. For to be a municipal Sjwner, you nat urally must have somethlngvmunlcipal to own. And where are they going to get It? Take the gas plants and the traction iin" ov the advocates of the new scheme. If thoy do, however, they are liable to be arrosted for burglary, because the gas companies and the street-car com panies are the proud possessors of ex tremely lonK and well-drawn leases. Byt of course, this docs not make the slightest bit of difference. The Republi cans have agreed to make their light on a municipal ownership platform, the Hearst forces naturally are Joyfully for it, and the Citizens' Union says It Is all right. Jerome's Delphic -Utterance. District Attorney Jerome, taunted as a traitor, says through his friends that "he flrmly believes In municipal ownersmp, bat doos not favor municipal operation excent as a last resort." Which, being exceedingly Incomprehensible to the av erage layman, Is consequently excessively KaHsfaetorv. and Is believed to have strengthened him with the voters. It would surprise no one If Tammany .ferm&lly indorsed municipal ownership, too. It doos not cost anything, and would net mean anything, and would bo a sad blow to the opposition. One Tammany man who Is an ardent advocate of municipal ownership Is Rep- rftsftiitatlvG Timothy D. Sullivan, fresh from a tour of Europe. And he Is really In earnost about It, too. Sullivan is one of the strongest men in the organization, and. It is admitted, could be leader if he wanted to. As It Is, he cenerally has his own way about things. Sullivan's- Idea of Ownership. "This municipal ownership game is one of the finest things in the world," said Sullivan to me the other day. "I don't know exactly how It is expected to carry It out, but the possibilities are simply grand. I got wise to it over in Glasgow. where they have it going In full swing. Municipal ownership controls all the car lines, and tho conductors and motormen have to vote just as thoy are told. If Tammany Hall could put through munlci pal ownership, the reformers could howl nil they pleased, but we would not be beaten In 8,000,000 years. "I don't remember what they call their political parties over there, but the one in p"bwor has got the traction boys all right. Vhy, a conductor don t dare to knock down a fare unless his district leader gives the word, and they vote as they are told. If they don't, they lose their Jobs, and are often convicted of stealing Into the bargain." "I'd like to see municipal ownership put through; and moan to do all I can In the matter." s Mr. Sullivan's frankness has Impressed many Tammany leaders,, and action by the organization in line with his views would surprise no one. Sullivan, by the way, will resign and go lack to the State Senate. He does not like "Washington. A Congressman is a dead one, unless he has boon thore a hundred years," he said. "I was a dead one. But Just watch me load the band at Albany." The municipal ownership crowd, having inducad the Republicans to adopt them, are now Involved in a fight as to who are the real things. Flaherty, Coroner and Musician. Coroner Flaherty, of Brooklyn, is the leader of the anti-Hearst Municipal Leaguors. Mr. Flaherty is a musician by trade, and was elected on the fusion ticket four years ago. Brooklyn Is very proud of him, because the citizens believe ne is the only musician In the United States who is also a Coroner. As to his qualifications as an officeholder, it might be said that Mr. Flaherty is an excellent musician, and can play "Oh, PromlsevMe" on a tromjwne. Mr. Flaherty has been an ordent single-tax man. and Is a radi cal Democrat. The radicals are a little band In New York State who believe in Bryan, and atlll talk of free silver. Hearst League a Myth. "The Hearst Municipal Ownership League is largely a myth," declares the Coroner in the tones he uses in announc ing the verdict of one of his Juries. "There is practically no organization of the sort In existence In ' Manhattan. I unaorsiana ait. -Hearst s inenas nave a large number of signatures of persons ex pressing themselves as favorable to the principle ofmunlclpal ownership, but that is not an organization. In fact, the league is practically made up of some half dozen of Mr. Hearst's employes "In Brooklyn we have a Municipal vjwuarauip league oi over two memoers, fully organized by Assembly districts and a representative county committee. There is nothing, of that sort In Manhattan, though I have asked Mr. Hearst to or ganlze one. Our organization has noxon nection with tho Hoarst movement, which has for a basis the Influence of the Hearst newspapers. "The way "Tor the anti-Tammany forces to win this year Is for the Bryan or radi cal Democrats throughout the city to get together. The friends of Bryan are naturally opposed to McCarren and Mur phy. McClellan and Cram, who. are con trolled by the corporations, andat heart opposed to the idea of municipal owner ship. "The Citizens' union 'is only a shell now, and has.no realforce behind it ex- cept the name. In Brooklyn It la .con trolled In every district except one by the Republicans. It has, however, the ability to raise more money than any of the rest of us, t which gives It Its sole standing; I am not speaking against a complete fusion, hut am telling -what I know to be true.' Flaherty and his organization are not represented In the Fusion conferences. They have applied for admission, but have been told in diplomatic language to run away and play. The parties who are "conferring" on the subject of fusion are the Republicans, Citizens' Union, Municipal Ownership League (as represented by Hearst), and the German-American League, the last named representing, or rather claiming to "represent, 10,000 Independent voters In Brooklyn. Rival German-American Leagues. The head of this last organization Is Bela.TokaJI, This Is his name; the pro nunclatlon is another matter, and he Is a Hungarian. He claims he has a perfect right to represent the "League," for he organized it himself. His enemies say that Is true, and that the "League" con slsts of himself and "another," the other being Henry Hartzhelm, who really Is a German. There Is a German-American Municipal League In Brooklyn also, with 10,000 mem- bers, but they are shut out from the Joy of conference, because the league witn the Hungarian leader won't let them in. whereupon they say that every German In the city will vote against Fusion. The outsiders claim that the gentleman whose name sounds like a brand of rare wine can control at the most eight votes. Mr. Bela Tokaji retorts that his enemies are limited to seven. Conservative Brook lynltes, who never heard of either organ ization before the present campaign, are Inclined to believe what each leader says about the other. Republicans Have No Hope. It looks vers much as If the Republic-" ans had no hope of success, and are per fectly willing to allow the Fuslonlsts to name any ticket and platform they please. Mayor McClellan does not expect to move at the end of the year, and nobody believes that he will be compelled to do so. But the Fuslonlsts are as happy as lit tle children who build sand forts on the beach. It might be mentioned in closing that the political tide seems to be coming in very strong, and the Fusion sand fort was built at low water.

SECRET KEPT W NEWSPAPER MAN EXPIRES IN 3IYSTERIOUS WAY. Doctors Unanimous That It "Was Murder Police Say Apoplexy Caused Injuries. NEW YORK. Sept. S.-Jacob H. Thomp- on, exchange editor of the New York Times, who was found unconscious in his apartments In the St. James Hotel today. died at Flower Hospital tonight without having regained consciousness. Mr. Thompson was fully clothed when found. He was then in a dying condition. There is much of mystery surrounding the case, coroner acnoier expressing the belief that the injuries were the result of a fall after a stroke of apoplexy, while the hospital physicians maintain that mur der was done. r Coroner Scholer was with the Injured man to the end, hoping he xmgnt regain consciousness ana make a statement. The theory of a. crime is concurred in by all the surgeons at the hospital, the entire staff agreeing in the statement that Mr. Thompson had been beaten. There Is, however, no known motive for a mur derous attack upon the editor. . The police, who earlier in theday had held the crime tneory. switched around tonight and agreed with the Coroner as against the opinion held by the doctors. The final police report on the case, record ing the death of Thompson, attributes the ffltnlltv to a full from a KtmVn f inn. Tlexy. Thompson was found unconscious and apparently dying from the effects of a fractured skull, a stab wound and a strangulation. He was even wearing his eye-glasses, one of which was brok en. and had cut his eye. Finger-marks were found on Thompson's neck, the larynx was fractured and there was evi dence that blood had burst from both ears. .

The railway depots at Plzzo, Saular and Enfermlcla had to 'be evacuated, as they were considered unsafe. At Messina a severe shock was experienced. The earthquake centered in Calabria, destroying1 over 25 villages, leaving thousands absolutely destitute, killing upward of 400 and wounding nearly 609. The Province of Calabria is very mountainous and is given over almost ontirely to agriculture. The people there are very poor, but very industrious. King Victor Emmanuel, who is so journing at Vallambrosa, as soon as he learned of the catastrophe, sent $400 for aid of the sufferers and requested the officials to afford every possible aid. Subscriptions for the sufferers have been opened by the newspapers. The ancient crater on the Island of Stromboli is again in active eruption, throwing out lava and stones, and the population of the island is fleeing. The magnitude of the? earthquake Is even greater than was at first supposed. RIggio Is lartly Shrtkcn. RIGGIO. Calabria, Italy, Sept. S. An earthquake -shock was felt here at- 2:44 A.
