HARRIMAN IN THE DEAL
pcheme to Raise $10,000,000 Cam
paign Fund Unique Situation
With Wall Street Backing
the Former Radical.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. (Special.)
'William Randolph Hearst's "conserva
: tlve" speech at Jamestown on Labor day
has created great excitement among his
devoted followers.
"In 1905 we worked for municipal own
ership,'' said onn district leader today,
"in 1906 we dropped it and became radi
cal. Now we are conservatives. Will
someone please tell me where we are at?"
At Jamestown Mr. Hearst said: "I have
no patience with the prejudices which ex
ist between alleged classes when the
classes themselves do not really exist.
There Is no reason for hostility between
employer and employee, between capital
ist and wage-earner."
This is In sharp contrast with a favor
ite extract from his speeches last year,
when he said: "The corrupt corporations
purchase from politicians the right to
rob the people, practically securing li
censes to exploit the people."
Changes Front on Capital.
In view of what Hearst has said re
garding Morgan, Ryan. Belmont and
other financiers, his followers were sur
prised when they heard that at James
town he had given vent to this surpris
ingly conservative tribute: '
"The great financial promoters, organ
izers, executives of America are worthy
of recognition and reward.
"They work as hard as any of us, and
their work Is absolutely necessary to the
full production of the riches out of
which are paid here in America the high
est wages in the world. Through many
an anxious day and many a wakeful
night these men have planned and prose
cuted the great enterprises which have
developed the wealth of the nation and
have given employment to millions of
men. Let them have a liberal share of
that wealth as long as that is the incen
tive which stimulates them to useful ac
tivities. Lit them have wealth as long
as it is honestly acquired through enter
prises that benetit the whole community.
The riches they amass and call their
own are seldom spent in extravagance
and luxury upon themselves, but are put
back into new Industries to produce more
wealth and give employment to more
men.
"The true captain of industry Is the
general of our industrial army. He can
, not do without soldiers, and yet, no mat-
tor how well the soldiers tight, the vic
tory depends very largely on the general's
skillful conduct of the campaign. '
llarriman Behind Hearst,
An interesting explanation of the change
of front of the peerless leader, is given by
one man, high in the councils of the In
dependence League.
"Hearst will enter on the next campaign
with the backing of B. H. Harriman and
. Charles Schwab." he said. "The time has
. not arrived to make a formal announce
(inent of the fact but It is so.
"Harriman is thoroughly convinced ihat
j Roosevelt will be renominated. He be
' lleves that Hearst running on a Demo-
cratic ticket with Independent support
I could defeat Roosevelt, If he has a suffi
cient campaign fund.
"This fund Harriman is willing to ra,ise
among his allies in Wall street. He is
also prepared through his Southern Paci
' f ic connections to turn over the Demo
cratic delegates from California, Oregon,
Arizona, Nevada and other Western
states.
"Except in the last fight, the Democracy
was badly handicapped for cash. The
selection of Bryan would undoubtedly
mean another lean bank roll.. At the
proper time this fact will be impressed
upon the Democratic leaders.
Plans $10,000,000 Campaign Fund.
Mr. Hearst and Mr. Harriman have
been friends for a number of years. The
same applies to Mr. Schwab. Both these
financiers are convinced that it would be
a good thing to put Hearst in the White
House."
This probably explains why William R.
Hearst, for the first time in his life, has
paid eloquent tribute to "The Captains of
Industry," who have heretofore been un
mercifully cartooned and scathingly
scored.
A Harrlman-Schwab-Hearst alliance
would undoubtedly cause Interesting com
plications in politics. Harriman is par
ticularly strong with the Odell faction of
the Republican party, and Odell at pres
ent Is engaged in booming Governor
Hughes for President.
A Wall street man, who is well posted
on the subject of campaign contributions,
ventured the prediction today that Harri
man could easily raise a $10,000,000 cam
paign fund if he set his mind to it.
"It would be a funny thing, though,"
ha continued, "to see Wall street passing
CHANGES
ON
around the hat for William Randolph
Hearst. Practically every big man in the
street has been' roasted by the American,
and it would be a bitter pill for them to
contribute for a Hearst fund.
"But it seems to be the rule that the
men who are most ' bitterly attacked by
Hearst one year are his warm supporters
the next.
"Look at Charles F. Murphy and Sena
tor Tom Grady, who were lampooned
in 1903, and boomed Hearst for Governor
in 1906. Last year Pat McCarren was the
goat, but if Rockefeller gives the word,
McCarren would be compelled to cheer
for Hearst. And if you will notice. Rocke
feller has been treated in a kindly man
ner by the Hearst papers of late."
How the labor leaders would enjoy see
ing their leader's campaign "financed"
by what they have been taught to call
"the Plunderbund," is a question.
Making Friends With Everybody.
The whole tenor of Hearst's speech.

however, shows that he has decided to
be a friend of everybody.
"In this country labor is universal and
is universally honored and appreciated."
he said at Jamestown. "In this country
there is no working class, but every man
worthy of the name is a workingman.
"In this country the mechanics work,
the farmers work, the clerks work, the
business men work, the professional men
work, and even the millionaires work."
To sum 1t up, the poor, downtrodden
workingman is no better than the purse
proud millionaire.
Really, it is an awful shock to members
of the League, who for years have been
exclusively interested in "The Rights of
Labor."

James Fades How Plans to Aid
Tramps With His Money Young
Man of Prominent Family.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8. (Special.) James

aim-; to extend to all the large cities in
the United States.
Mr. How is the son of the late James IT.
How. vice-president a. id general manager
of th Wabash Railroad, and grandson of
the great civil engineer, James Buchanan

GATHERING AT SARATOGA
Fifty Thousand Grand Army A'eter
ans Expected at Encampment.
SARATOGA, N. Y.. Sept. 8. Amid
gaily decorated streets, veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic have been
arriving all day for the Forty-first Na
tional encampment, which will be held
here this week. Fifty thousand vet
erans are expected.
This may be the last encampment
held anywhere but in Washington. At
the business session of the organiza
tion a resolution probably will be in
troduced fixing that place as the per
manent meeting place of the organi
zation hereafter. It is also probable
that within a few years the annual
encampment will become only a meet
ing of delegates, for the veterans, it
was stated by Grand Army officials to
night, are becoming too feeble to at
tend the meetings in a body and to
take part in the annual parade.
The encampment programme begins
Tuesday.
Vaccinated by the Thousand.
VIENNA, Sept. 8. There are no
signs of abatement in the smallpox
epidemic. During the last few days,
166.000 persons have been vaccinated.
Public meetings and processions have

Into Public Disfavor.
SHUNNED LY HIS FRIENDS
Broken In Health and Spirit He Now
Pays Penalty for His Eccentric .
Doctrine Alone in Villa
Near Florence.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. (Special.)
Exiled by the contumely of his fellow
men, crushed in health and spirit by
his failure to reform society and re
ligion and cheered only by the minis
tration of the "affinity" for whom he
abandoned his wife and children and
sacrificed public respect, Dr. George D.
Herron, the most noted of modern so
cialists to set the example followed by
the eccentric artist. Ferdinand Pinney
Earle,.!s living in seclusion in a suburb
of Florence, Italy.
George D. Herron married Mary
Everhard, sweetheart of his college
days at Ripon, Wis., in 18S3. The "af
finity" did not enter into their lives
for ten years. Dr. Herron from boy
hood thought and spoke fearlessly. His
socialistic Ideas did not suit his Con
gregational charge at Burlington, and
he resigned to fill a chair of Applied
Christianity in Iowa College, at Grin
nell, endowed especially for his oc
cupancy by Mrs. Caroline itaud, widow
of a Burlington lumber king.
Finds Affinity in His Church.
Mrs. Rand and her one daughter, Car
rie, were members of the Burlington
church and Carrie Rand was a most
enthusiastic student of the icono
clastic minister's socialism. The Rands
followed Herron and his family to Grin
nell and continued to be almost as a
part of the professor's family. Carrie.
Rand went about with Mrs. Herron and
this kept gossip quiet for several years.
The public breach came in 1900, when
Dr. Herron went traveling through
Europe with Mrs. Rand and her daugh
ter and left his family at home. His
resignation from tne college faculty
followed on his return. . Dr. Herron
then went to Chicago, and in January,
1901, lanched "the next social aposto
late," or a school of applied Christian
ity, which should teach religion as
he saw it.
In March, 1901, Mrs. Herron pro
cured her divorce in Tlgona, la.,
charging desertion for five years. The
complaint was suppressed, but friends
of the deserted wife asserted that Mrs.
Herron had been forced by her hus
band to take the step in order that he
might marry Carrie Rand.
Original Marriage Vows.
Dr. Herron and Miss Rand went
through a form of taking each other
for a "companion" which he had pre
pared, and then went to live on a
farm at FumptoWn, N. J., a present
from Mrs. Rand.
Dr. Herron's brilliant career as a
public lecturer ended with his mar
riage to Carrie Rand. He continued
to write of the predicted social revolu
tion, but when he sought to make ad
dresses he was repulsed on every hand,
and even many .of his socialistic
friends abandoned him. A year and a
half ago, Dr. Herron's health having
broken , down under the strain of
criticism, the family went to Italy and
purchased a villa near Florence, which
may be the home of the "companions"
until the end.
At Pumptown it is said that Dr.
Herron will not come home before
next Summer, if at all. It is reported
there are now three babies in the
household, and that Dr. Herron and
Carrie Rand live together in perfect
harmony apd love.
Mother Leaves Them Fortune.
Before their going, "Mrs. Herron's"
mother, Mrs. Rand, died. - The daughter
was left $200,000 and was made trustee
of the residue of the Rand estate, of
which part went to found the Rand
school of socialism in East Nineteenth
street. Dr. Herron was to be its "first
apostle," but it is announced that his
health will not permit.
Dr. Herron's abandoned wife took
her four children and the alimony,
which at the time was said to have
been J60.000, provided by the mother
of Miss Carrie Rand, and herself to a
North Carolina mountain village.

MISTAKE POLICEMAN'S HOME
FOK FK1EXDLY SALOON.
Officer Welcomes Trio With "Gat

for the "Hurry Wagon."
CHICAGO. Sept. 8. (Special.) Three
robbers, who had just held up, beaten
and robbed a victim, fell into the clev
erest sort of trap early this morning.
Mistaking the home of Policeman Wil
liam Orthmann for a friendly saloon,
they beat excitedly upon the side door.
Luckily the officer was at home.
"Let us In quick." they called out, ham
mering upon the door. "Sure, step right
in," said Officer Orthmann, "make your
selves at home." continued the policeman,
who had shifted his artillery into posi
tion. The excited robbers took one look down
the eight-inch barrels of the magazine
guns and wilted. -
"Don't bother to sit down," said the
affable policeman. "Just line up against
the wall there while Mary rings for a
carriage."
"Mary," his wife, called the patrol
wagon, and the trio were landed in
prison. Inasmuch as they were armed,
and the Illinois law provides death pen
alty for hiphway robbery, where the
robber carries deadly -weapons, it will go
hard with the footpads.

FINDS IMPORTANT FOSSILS
Wyoming Professor Makes Remark,
able Discoveries.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 8. (Special.)
W. H. Reed, paleontologist of the Uni
versity of Wyoming, has made several
Important fossil discoveries In "Hell's
Half Acre," 35 miles southwest of Cas
per. Among others is the complete skel
eton of a horse, which was no larger
than an ordinary fox of this age. The
skeleton demonstrates almost conclusive
ly that Wyoming was the birthplace of
the equine race.
Another fossil Is perfect and is a rep
lica of that of the beaver of the present
day. The complete skeleton ot r. dog of
the allgocene tertiary age was dug up,
the size of the animal not having differed
from that of the average dog of the pres
ent, but the long sharp teeth showing
that the ancestor of the modern canines
was a great flesh eater and hunter.
Professor Reed dug from "Hell's Half
Acre" the complete skull of a calf titan
otherium, a monster that was extinct
probably a million years before some of
the oldest fossils hitherto found were
created. The newly-discovered fossils
are to be added to the university mu
