DOUB
LE CROSS IS
DOOM OF LEAGUE
Hearst Prepared to Throw
Down Independents and
Effect Fusion.
NOMINATIONS NOT LEGAL
Acceptance of Democratic Honors
Would Cause Uproar Jerome
Boom Killed by Tim Sulli
van's Boom for Sulzer.
XEW YORK. Sept. 21.-(Special.) The
Independence League is in a terrible mix
up, and what the final outcome will be
nobofly can predict. Despite the action
of the convention in declaring ?or a
"middle of the road-' ticket, 'William
Randolph Hearst Is as determined as
ever to land the Democratic nomination
and is straining every effort to secure
the coveted honor.
William E. Conners, of Buffalo, who
engineered the petition to the league men
asking them to hold off until fusion could
be arranged. Is not disheartened by the
refusal of the delegates to listen to him,
and he Is working its hard as ever for
Hearst.
.Politicians believe that the simple
minded league men will be given the
"double cross" in case the Democrats
put Hearst at the head of their ticket.
It seems to be lo.t sight of that the
action of the Independence League is ab
solutely without any legal effect. The
only way to get on the ballot Is by peti
tion, and anybody who can secure the
requisite number of signatures Is entitled
to that privilege. Up at the Gllsey House
headquarters nothing has been done to
secure the needed signatures. The ex
planation is that there Is plenty of time,
and "perhaps there may be some changes
later."
Can Ignore Own Nominations.
If Hearst so decides he can entirely
ignore the action of the convention, cir
culate his petitions and nominate the
same men as appear in the Democratic
column of the ballot. Of course this
would create a frightful uproar, but the
league Is In a much excited condition
anyway, and there is bound to be trouble
no matter what is done.
That the league leaders are plotting to
bring about fusion is indicated by the
fact that no effort has been made to
nominate Supreme Court Judges, Con
gressmen, Senators and Assemblymen.
"We will wait to see what the other
parties do. There is no particular need
of haste," Is the only explanation given.
One candidate has already repudiated
the league ticket George A. Fuller, of
Philadelphia, N. Y.. named for State
Treasurer. Mr. Fuller is preshlent of the
State Grange, the farmers' organization,
and objects to its official mixing in poli
tics. It has also been discovered by his
own statement that personally he Is
against Hearst, and how he happened to
be nominated Is a puzzle to the uniniti
ated. Frank Gctman, nominee for State En
gineer and Surveyor, is also talking of
"getting off the ticket, while Dr. Auel, of
Buffalo, chosen for Controller, is being
held on by main force.
What Is Left for Democrats.
This leaves as the only satisfied can
didates Hearst for Governor, Lewis Stuy
vesant Chanler for Lieutenant-Governor,
John Ford for Attorney-General and John
Sibley Whalen for Secretary of State.
All of these except Ford are Democrats,
and are expected to prove satisfactory to
the old party.
"The Democrats ought to be perfectly
happy," declared one league man, "if
they are allowed to select the Controller,
State Treasurer and State Engineer and
Surveyor, especially when all our other
candidates except Ford are good party
men. Besides, we will treat them right
when the time comes to divide up the
patronage."
Charles F. Murphy seems satisfied
with the outlook, and declares every
day or so, "I find there is a great deal
of Hearst sentiment among the voters,
and it Is increasing, inside the organ
ization and outside of it." He de
clines, however, to publicly pledge
himself for the editor.
The Jerome boom has died an tin
pleasant death, the final blow being
the declaration of "Big Tim" Sullivan
for Congressman William Sulzer.
County Democrats, what there are left
of them, minced no words in stating
that Jerome would never do. They
object to his reversal of Roosevelt's
motto, his conduct making It read,
"Words, not deeds." They point to
the fact that there are 31 murderers
awaiting trial in the Tombs, and that
for the last few years, Jerome has been
principally occupied in taking vaca
tions. In fact, the only friend Jerome seems
to have left is Mayor McClellan. Prac
tically all of the "party savers" who
participated In the Albany conference
have been defeated in their counties,
and the boom is a. sadly battered
proposition.
Kind Words for Sulzer.
Sullivan's declaration for Sulzer is
accepted as his way of getting out of
an embarrassing situation. The Sulli
vans have posed as friends of McClel
lan and therefore they could not be
for Hearst, but they are bitterly op
posed to Jerome. Hence "Big Tim's"
announcement, which has not been
taken seriously by anybody except Sul
zer and his district leader. Coroner
Julius Harburger.
When ihe Coroner launched the
boom a week or so ago (think of a
Coroner presiding at a boom presenta
tion ) Charles F. Murphy, laughed
heartily and said:
"Julius has a candidate all to him
self." McClellan announced that he Is still
for Jerome, but made some kind re
marks about Sulzer.
"He would adorn any place for
which he might be chosen," said the
Mayor, warmly.
"Sulzer is considered by many peo
ple to be more radical than Mr.
Hearst." observed one of the Inter
viewers. "It is not fair to compare Congress
man Sulzer with Mr. Hearst," declared
the Mayor. "Mr. Sulzer is a Demo
crat." Doom Prepared for Jerome.
Jerome was much interested in the
action of the Independence League
convention, and one of his assistants
started out to ascertain why Clarence
J. shearn had not been honored with a
nomination.
"Does Hearst mean to leave Shearn
out in the cold? Shouldn't think he
would treat his personal counsel that
wny." he remarked to a League dis
trict leader.
"Shearn isn't frozen out. not on your
life," was the reply. "There's a fine
Job waiting for him."
When pressed for details, he ex
plained. "One of the first things Hearst will
do will be to remove Jerome for gross
Inefficiency in office. And then we
will give his place to Shearn."
This doesn't please the District At
torney at all, and he is talking more
unpleasantly of Hearst every day.
HARRIMAN WANTS ST. PAUL
If I Is Secured Deal for B. & O.
"Will Be Completed.
NEW YORK, 9ept. 21. The World to
day states that negotiations are in prog
ress between E H. Harriman, William
Rockefeller and the Smith estate by which
control of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad may be turned over to the
Union Pa6ifie and Southern Pacific Com-'
panies. Upon the success of their nego
tiations will depend the carrying out of
the deal by which the Baltimore & Ohio
is to become part of the Union Pacific
system. The World says that this state
ment was made yesterday by a high Wall
street authority, who predicted that with
in 60 days the terms of the deal would be
made known.
Santa Fe Shows Karnings.
TOPBKA, Kan., Sept. 21. The Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway today
filed with the State Board of Railroad
Commissioner its report for the last fis
cal year, covering all details of its oper
ation. It shows that the company earned
124, 678.767 on its Kansas business in 1905,
and its total earnings were $47,758,905.
The passenger earnings in Kansas were
$7,311,727, and the freight earnings $17,
008, 7S6. The cost of construction and
equipping the road per mile is shown to
have been $49,339. The total mileage of
the Santa Fe system is 6750, of which
3417 is In Kansas. The road has only 157
miles of iron rails In the state, and of
this amount 142 miles are sidings. Santa
Fe engines burned 1,933,388 tons of coal
during the year.
Cut Rates Increase Business.
NEW HA VEX, Conn.. Sept. 21. An
estimated yearly loss of nearly $750,000
to tne .New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad Company. as a result of
reducing its passenger rate to 2 cents a
mile several months ago. already has
been turned into an actual gain in gross
receipts as compared with other years
tnrougn an increased volume of business.
In addition to the reduction of passenger
rates, the tariff on coal to New England
points also was reduced to a figure which
on the old volume of coal business to
New England points would have resulted
in a yearly loss of $150,000 to the railroad
company. Receipts to date indicate that
not only has this estimated loss been
overcome, but that there will be an.
actual gain over other years.
HOLDS OUT FOR MORE CASH
Castellane May Delay Divorce Till
Wife Pays Debts.
PARIS, Sept. 2L-While no move has
yet been made by the Count's lawyers,
the attorneys for the Countess de Cas
tellane evidently anticipate an attempt
on his part to force a delay In the trial
of the divorce case, which lias been fixed
for October 17. unless the creditors' at
tachment case is previously settled. The
Count is not unwilling to take every ad
vantage of the desire of the Countess and
the Gould family to make sacrifices to
avoid further notoriety and scandal, but
it la still doubtful whether the price is not
too high. It turns out that the bills piled
up Dy tne count s creditors are very nu
merous. While the exact total Is not
known, the amount is authoritatively de-
scrioea as raDuloue.
In spite of the pre-nuptlal settlement,
the French law regards the marriage
partnership as making husband and wife
equally responsible for the household ex
penses and debts. The attachment pro
ceedings, however, do not belong to this
class. They are almost entirely for money
Dorrowea rrom usurers at ruinous rates
and consequently they could be legally
resisted.
The Count has another lever in the dis
position of the children, who under the
law. are French citizens and subject to
military service. He could enter a plea
oerore tne rTench court that if tho chil
dren were given into the custody of the
mot.hey might be taken beyond the
Jurisdiction of France. Such action would
doubtless result in the imposing by the
court of restrictions embarrassing to the
Countess In the future.
If the creditors' attachment Is settled
out of court, the Count is not expected to
make a defense, and it Is believed that
the divorce will be granted October 17.
Otherwise it is anticipated that the Count
will trump up a cause for postponement.
FIVE KILLED IN WRECK
Rear-End Cillislon on High Trestle
at Cut Bank, Mont.
GREAT FALLS. Mont., Sept- 21. A
special to the Tribune from Cut Bank
says:

Latest Wonder In Surgery.
STUTTGART. Sept. 21. Professor
Garre, of Breslau, gave yesterday to the
Congress of National Investigation and
Medicine now in session here, the result
of his experiments in transplanting blood
vessels and organs from one body to an
other. .
Professor Garre described the case of
a 4-year-old boy suffering from cretinism,
who had portions of his mother's thyroid
gland transplanted to his spleen. Th4
child, after nine months. Is developing
normally and can walk and talk. Pro
fessor Garre narrated several experiments
in the transplantation of blood vessels
from one living animal to another. He
also transplanted blood vessels from ani
mals that had been dead for an hour and
a half to live animals.
The professor declared that while It was
impossible to transplant large blood ves
sels from living human beings, that blood
vessels could be taken from freshly am
putated limbs and transplanted to cases
where large tumors had been removed or
where otherwise the tieing up of large
blood vessels , resulted fatally for the
parts of the body fed by them.
Professor Garre described also the
transplanting of kidneys from one animal
to another, the replanted organs perform
ing their functions perfectly.
