charity toward none.
UTICA, N. Y.. Nov. 1. A hitter de
nunciation of William R. Hearst, whic h,
the speaker .said, hud the full and com
plete Indorsement of President Roose
velt, was iK iiV"ir; J In a public address
liero tonight by Secretary of State
Kllhu Root. At the same time Mr.
Root paid an eloquent, tribute to
Charles K. Hughes and uniiouneed that
lie was authorized to say that the
President greatly desires the election
of Mr. Hughcu as Governor of New
York. '
"I say to you with President Roose
velt's authority," said Mr. Root, "that
ho regards Air. Hearst as wholly unfit
to bo Governor, as an Insincere, self
seeking demagogue, who Is trying to
decelvo the workingmen of New York
by false statements and false prom
ises, and I say to you, with his author
ity, that lie c onsiders that Mr. Hearst's
election would be an injury and a dis
credit alike to honest labor and to
honest capital, and a serious injury to
the work in whic h he is engaged of
enforcing just and equal laws against
corporations' wrongdoings. President
Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst stand as far
as the poles asunder. Listen to what
President Roosevelt said in hia first
message to Congress:
InHumcd Czolgosz to Shoot.
"In speaking of the assassin of Me
Kinley he spoke of him as inflamed
by the reckless utterances of those
who. en the stump and in the public
press, appeal to the dark and evil
r.pirits of greed, envy and sullen hat
red. The wind is sowed by the men
who preach such doctrines and they
cannot escape the respensibility for
the whirlwind that is reaped. This ap
plies alike to the deliberate demagogue,
to Hie exploiter of sensationalism and
to the crude and foolish visionary who,
for whatever reason, apologizes for
tiime or excites aimless discontent."
"I eay by the President's authority
that. In penning these words, with the
horror of President McKlnley's mur
der fresh before him, he had Mr. Hearst
specifically in his mind. And I say,
by his authority, that what he thought
of Mr. Hearst then he thinks of Mr.
Hearst now."
Not Guiltless oT Assassination.
ChnracU rizing Mr. Hearst as a vio
lent and unworthy demagogue and a
persistent office-seeker, Mr. Root de
chited that as a Congressman he had
proved a worthless public servant;
that, while professing to favor an in
dependent judiciary, he had made a
deal with the Tammany leader. Mur
phy, for the nomination of a judiciary
ticket in New York: that, while In
veighing against corporations, his own
corporation management shows the In
sincerity of hia profession; that it is
not calm and lawful redress of wrongs
which he seeks, but the turmoil of in
flamed passions and the terrorism of
revengeful force; that he is guided by
scltlsh motives and that he is "not
guiltless of McKlnley's death."
Mr. Root proceeded:
Hearwt Itangeroua Demagogue.
Mr. Hearst In Just the kind of a dema
gogue I have described. He is Indeed r-n
especially dangerous specimen of tbe clas.
because he is generously rich and owns
n vnpapers of large circulation, and he can
hire many able and active men to speak
ell of him and praise him in speeches and
'n private conversation.
What evidence has Mr. Hearst produced
of hi fitness for this office? Of his pri
vate life I shall not speak further than to
say thut from no community !n this state
ilnes there come ennr'rnliiK him that testi
mony of lifelong neighbors and acquaint
ances lo his private virtues, the excellence
or his morals and the correctness of his
.onduct, which we should like, to have con
cerning the man who ts to be made Gov
ernor of our state.
He is really known to us solely as a young
man, very rich by inheritance, who has be
come the owner of a number of sensational
yellow journals; he has taken in his news
papers the popular side upon all questions
relating to labor and corporations and has
sustained it by much violent denunciation
and many falsehoods, and he has been a
persistent seeker for office on the strength
of taking the popular slue; ne nas pumisnea
whatever he thought would please the work
ing people for the purpose of getting the
labor vote.
Stained With Tammany's (.'rime.
There is, however, affirmative evidence of
Mr. Hearst's unfitness for the great office
of Governor. You will perceive that to the
remedy of corporate wrongs for which he
offers himself two things are necessary.
First, intelligent and well-devised legisla
tion, and, second, the judicial enforcement
of the laws. Underlying both Is political
purity, for without that neither Legislatures
nor courts can be pure.
How stands Mr. Hearst's record as to
political purity? Why, he comes to us cov
ered ell over with the mark of Tammany
and Tammany's leader. Murphy, whom lie
himself has denounced as a scoundrel and
a thief; he conies to us, not answering to
tho call of the people of the state, not as
the highest candidate of the Democratic
party of the state, hut named by his own
procurement, through as shameful a deal
KHhu It out. Secretary of State.
with the boss of Tammany as ever disgraced
the political history of the state. Can
hypocrisy go further than the willing bene
ficiary of Tammany Hall preaching political
purity ?
Neglected Duty in Congress.
How stands his record as a legislator? He
had opportunity to prove his capacity and
sincerity in that Held. Representatives are
sent to Congress to attend to the business,
of the country. Mr. Hearst was sent to
Congress to do that; he had an opportunity
then to show how much sincerity there was
in all the talk of his papers about reforms
and better government.
What did he do? Why, he did nothing.
During the three years that he has beea in
Congress that body has been in session 407
days; there have been 1S5 recorded votes
by yea and nay; he was present and voting
at but :J and present without voting at two.
His voice was heard In that Congress in
those years but once and that but for ten
minutes on a personal question; he
did not even contribute a motion
to - adjourn to the business of Congress.
He la so rich that the $1.",U0U paid hira for
that neglected service may seem of no con
sequence, but no honest poor man would
have thought it right to takp it.
The public knows the character of Mr.
Hearst only by the newspapers he pub
lishes, and God forbid that we should set up
in the high .station of Ctrt tsrnor . of New
York, for the admiration and Imitation of
our children, the man whose character is
reflected in the columns of the New York
Journal and the New York American.
Sows Seeds of Discord.
But the worst of Mr. Hearst is that with
his great wealth, with his great newspapers,
with his army f paid agents, for his own
selfish purposes lie has been day by day and
year by year sowing the seeds of dissension
and strife and hatred throughout our land;
he would array labor against capital and
capital against labor; poverty against wealth
and wealth against poverty, with bitter and
vindictive feeling; he would destroy among
the great mass of out people that kindly
and friendly spirit, that consideration for
the Interests and rights of others, that
brotherhood of citizenship which are essen
tial to the powerful conduct of free popu
lar government; he would destroy that re
spect for law, that love of order. What
public servant honored by the people's trust
nas lie not assailed with vile and vulgar
epithets? What branch of our free govern
ment has he not taught his readers to be
lieve a corrupt agency of oppression?
Incitement to Assassination.
Continuing on this subject, Mr. Root
said:
only once has this method of incendiary
abuse wrought out its natural consequences
in the murder of President McKlnley. For
years, by vile epithets and viler cartoons,
the readers of the Journal were taught to
believe that McKinley was a monster In
human form, whose taking on would be a
service to mankind. . Let me quote some of
these teachings:
"McKinley condones the treacherous mur
der of our bailors at Havana and talks of
his confidence in the honor of Spain. He
plays the coward and shivers whitefaced1 at
the footfall of a processing war. He makes
an international cur of his countrv. He is
an abject, weak, futile, incompetent pol
troon.
"McKlnley, bar one glrthy Princeton per
son who came to be no more or less than a
iving, breathing crime in breeches, is there
fore the most despised and hated creature
in the hemisphere; his name Is hooted; his
ligure is burning in effigy."
l he bullet that pierced Goebel's chest
Cannot be found in all the West;
Good reason : it Is speeding here
To stretch McKlnley on his bier."
And tiiis in April, 1101 ;
"Institutions, like men, will last until thev
die, and. If bad Institutions and bad men can
be got rid of only by killing, then the kill
ing must be done,"
Is No One Left Who Joved McKlnley?
What wonder that the weak and excit
able brain of Ozolgosz answered to such
impulses as these. He never knew Mc
Kinley; he had no real or fancied wrongs
of his own to avenge against McKinley or
aictviniey s government ; lie was answering
tho lesson he had learned that it was a ser
vice to mankind to rid the earth of a mon
ster, and tho foremost of the teachers of
these lessons to him and his kind was and
is William Randolph Hearst and his yellow
journals.
Is there no one left who loved McKinley?
Are there no workingmen in New York who
cannot see with satisfaction honors heaped
upon trie man wno is not guiltless of Mc
Klnley's death? The same kind of teach
ing is being continued now month by month
and day by day by the Hearst journals. Its
legitimate consequences, if continued, must
be other weak dupes playing the role of
Czolgosx; other McKinleys stretched upon
the bier; discord and bloody strife in place
of the reign of peace and order throughout
our fair land. It is not the spirit of Wash
ington and of Lincoln; it is the spirit of
malice for all and charity toward none; it
Is the spirit of the anarchist, of the cora
inr.iist. v-t Kishlnef and of Bialystok.
Mr. Root urged his auditors to return a
niaj. rity of Republicans in the House of
Representatives to work with President
Kouse velt in the next Congress, and said
further;
Hughes Roosevelt's Choice.
Tt e evils which have come with the enor
mous Increase in corporate wealth in re

RUEF'S STOCK IN THEATER
Mystery of $45,000 House- and
Champagne Suppers on Salary
Aggregating $30,000 Heney
Says Case Is Complete.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Nov. l.(Spe
clal.) One million dollars 1s the amount
which Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef have
made in grafting on building permits, ac
cording to evidence In the hands of the
prosecution. Theaters were held up, one
of them for 45 per cent of its stock;
large, retail stores were forced to pay
tribute before they could make altera
tions, and other owners were compelled
to make changes in their buildings, but
the changes . were never satisfactory to
the authorities unless made by a certain
contracting firm.
Case upon case has been discovered to
bear out these charges, until Heney and
Burns are confronted by an embarrass
ment of riches. In all of these cases the
charge will be conspiracy to extort
money. That these charges will stick.
Heney has not the slightest doubt.
He Was a Wise Chinese.
One case s that of a Chinese theater.
The owner, a Mongolian of wealth, was
ordered to make certain changes in the
structure that 1 tmight conform to the or
dinance. It was made plain to the Ce
lestial that it would bo to his advantage
to employ the Deneen Building Company.
He did so. The repairs were made and
the theater a?mwe(T to resume business.
The Chinese was womewhat staggered
when he received a bill of $16,000 for the
work. He was a wise Chinese and he
paid. Architect Tharpe, whose reputa
tion is of the highest, made an examina
tion of the work and reported that it was
worth $4000. The difference is just $12,000.
Rise of Deneen Company.

"A few years ago the Deneen company

concern, however, has thrived since It
has drunk of the bowl of municipal favor.
Heney has hearsay evidence that Mayor
Schmitz had more than a friendly inter
est in the concern. His friends deny that
he was a partner. Be that as it may, the
Mayor and the Deneen company thrived
together.
It was about this time that the Mayor
paid $13,000 for his $S,000 house. The
Deneen company erected the house. The
Mayor was so well satisfied with his bar.
gain that he at once expended $115,000 in
furnisliitiRS.
"The salary of the Mayor is $iiOOO. He
had but liule money when he went into
office. He has been in office five years. .
His total income from his salary has been
KO.OOO. His house represents an outlay
of $45,000. .
Then the Mayor Opened Wine. .
"About the time' that the Mayor and
Deneen .became friends the Mayor , took
to opening champagne. The Mayor's man
sion on . Vallejo street, one of the most
aristocratic sections of the city, faces the
mansion of Mr. Deneen. Next to the
Mayor Is the elegant home of one of the
members of the firm of Hilbert Bros., the
liquor concern in which it has been
charged that the Mayor had an interest.
Near by is the home of Police Commis
sioner Leahy. All these homes were erect
ed by the Deneen Company.
"One venture in which the Deneen Com
pany had no hand was that of a 10-cent
theater located on Market street, near
Powell, and known as the Baldwin, after
the large playhouse which once stood on
the same site. Manager Tiffany, of the
Baldwin, was ordered to close the theater,
as it did not conform with the building
laws. Building Inspector Fitzsimmons re
ported that the building could not possibly
be altered In a manner to make it con
form with the ordinance. Tiffany engages
Abe Ruef as his attorney. The building
was altered at a cost of $10,000, and in no
way conformed with the building ordi
nances, yet it was allowed to run unmo
lested. Ruef received 45 per cent of the
stock, a small portion of this being held
In the name of Mayor Schmitz. For his
interest Ruef claims he paid $;!300. ) The
theater paid him something like $10,000 a
year.
Duffey Goes to Sec Heney.
It has become known positively that
President George F. Duffey, of the Board
of Public Works, visited the offices of
Heney this week. Duffey claims he called
to see Attorney Lerman who has an
office with Heney, on private business.
Lerman is associated with Heney. Duffey
hotly denied the insinuation that he had
betrayed the administration.
"It's a damned lie," he said.
Ruef tonight organized his wing of the
Republican party into a body for his own
defense. Labor leaders are calling for the
expulsion of the officers who have
espoused the cause of Ruef. Labor bodies
continue to pass strong resolutions de
manding that the investigation proceed.

do it, I won't make any objections. We

NEW YORK, Nov. 1. With the close
of the day the storm center of the po
litical action in this state was trans
ferred from the up-state counties to
Greater New York. Until November 6
both Charles E. Hughes and W. R.
Hearst will make their appeals to the
voters of the metropolitan districts. The
programmes arranged for them call for
many speeches daily and their vigorous
and almost unprecedented campaigns will
continue practically to the dawn of elec
tion day. Hearst has already returned
to the city, and Mr. Hughes will arrive
tomorrow morning from Utica, where he
closed his up-state campaign tonight.
Croker Denounces- Jlurphy.
The comments of Richard Croker,
ex-leader of Tammany Hall, upon the
gubernatorial campaign in New York and
the speech of Secretary of State Root
at Utica tonight were the startling In
cidents of the day.
Croker, in an interview in Dublin, Ire
land, criticised severely the action of
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall, in bringing about the nomination
of Hearst at Buffalo, and predicted that
if Hcar-st "is elected and carries out his
He characterized Murphy's action at tho
Buffalo convention as an "astonishing
and unprincipled performance." Croker

Root's Terrific Arraignment.
Root at Utica tonight, with the au
thority of President Roosevelt, assured
his hearers that the President desires the
election of Hughes.
"I say to you," said Root, "that he
WALL,
(the President) regards Mr. Hearst as
wholly unfit to be Governor; that he con
siders Mr. Hearst's election would be an
Injury and a discredit, alike to honest
labor and to honest capital."
Root quod from President Roosevelt's
first message to Congress concerning the
assassination of President McKinley and
concluded with the statement that "what
he thought of Mr. Hearst then he thinks
of Mr. Hearst now."
Greater New York was ablaze with po
litical enthusiasm tonight. The Repub
lican followers held more than 100 meet
ings in as many different places, and
Hearst spoke to 16 different audiences be
tween 6 o'clock and midnight.
Estimates of tho Result.
Estimates are being made by both par
ties as to the probable pluralities of their
respective candidates. National Repub
lican Committeeman W. L. Ward said, at
state headquarters, today:
"Mr. Hughes will be elected by a plu
rality of at least 175,000 in the whole state.
I shall not be at all surprised if his ma

tions of the state. Great Republican gains
are indicated everywhere."
State Chairman Woodruff declined to
give out a forecast, but said that he had
received encouraging reports, especially
from Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk
Counties. .
Charles F. Murphy said today that he
estimated Hearst's plurality in Greater
New York at from SO.OOO to 100,000. Asked
as to the boroughs. Murphy said:
"I don't know about all the boroughs,
but I feel certain that Now York an1
Kings Counties will go strongly for

DANGER OF GREAT SCANDAL
He May Demand an Inquiry Into
Charges and Thus l'orce Her to
Besmirch Highest Names in
1'rancc No Duels Ycl.
PARIS, Nov. 1.h spite of the state
ments made yesterday by Mail re Cruppi
in the opening address of the case of
Countess de Castcllune (who was Anna
Gould, of New York) for divorce from
her husband. Count Hon! do Castcllane,
that there was not the faintest possibility
of a reconciliation, it is by no means cer
tain that the Count has abandoned hope
of such an outcome. His conduct sincu
the suit began appears to have been
based upon the belief that his wife must
yield in the end. This theory will explain
the Count's refusal of liberal offers of a
life income. It is also disclosed that the
Count never ceased writing letters to his
wife, in which he begged for a reconcilia
tion and in which he anathematized tho
American lawyers under whoso, intlucnce
he charged she was actinc
ICiters Show Her Contempt.
Friends of Count Boni say ho was
dumbfounded to learn that the Countess
had allowed the presentation yesterday
of a detailed case. He was so confident
that his wife would surrender that he
did not prepare a defense. It wag only
today that documents, which under
French law must be exchanged, were
transferred to coujiscUurllie. opposition.
These papers amount in the main lo let
ters written to Count Hon! by his wife
and which show tho contempt in which
she held her husband. These letters prob.
ably will necessitate the production of tho
letters which provoked them.
It seems certain today that Count
Boni's defense to the charge of inlldel
ity will be "unproven," and that ho con
sequently will demand an inquiry and
the production of witnesses for the pur
pose of prolonging the case, his idea be
ing to accomplish a reconciliation. This
would extricate the Count from the money
difficulties with which he is beset.
May Smirch Highest Names.
The calling of witnesses is what the
attorneys for the Countess are particu
larly anxious to avoid, as doing so would
drag in some of the highest names in
France. Maitre Cruppi yesterday gave no
clue to the persons referred to as "Mnie.
A," "Mme. B," "Jlmc. ,C" and "lime.
D," except to those persons familiar with
current gossip. If an Inquiry can bo
avoided, the decision probably will not bo
rendered before November III.
Maitre Cruppi expects to sjeak for an
hour and a half Wednesday and the re
mainder of that session of the court will
bo given to Maitre Bonnet, of counsel for
the Count. The court will then adjourn
for a week in order that the public prose
cutor, who under the French law repre
sents the interests of the community, may
have an opportunity to present his con
clusions. After this there will be a de
lay of another week while the court pre.
pares the decision.
The reports that the husbands of two
of the women referred to yesterday havo
challenged Count Bonl to duels are with
out continuation.
Castellane Gets News Suppressed.
PARIS, Nov. 1. As a result of the In
dustrious campaign of Count rie Castcl
lane to prevent the publication of tho
news that the suit for divorce brought
ji gainst him by his wife came up for a
hearing yesterday, rot more than a third
of the newspapers mentioned the fact,
and not a single detail is printed here, the
law making the publication ot divorce
testimony a criminal offen.se.

RICHMOND. Va., Nov. 1. The Presi
dent, Mrs. Roosevelt and Surgeon-General
Rixey. at Pine Knot, got up early this
morning and started on a hunt for wild
turkeys. The President has never potted
a wild turkey and it is his ambition to
add one to his record.
Some of his neighbors, it is reported,
undertook to play a joke on him by turn
ing a flock of domestic turkeys of the
mammoth bronze variety into the woods
and driving tern so that they would fall
a prey to the President's gun. but Mr.
Roosevelt would have none of the domes
