DETECTIVES' CASE
T
Gritzmacher Opposes Putting
Joe Day on a Beat in
Uniform.
DAY WOULD BALK ANYWAY
Commissioners Criticised for Alleged
Arbitrary Tactics la Keftising
Postponement Greene Him
self Presides at Hearing.
Testifying before the police oom
mlttee of the Executive Board at the
City Hall last night. Chief of Police
Gritzmacher, answering a question by
Attorney Logan, declared that it was
not in his judgment for the best inter
ests of the service to put Detective Joe
ray on a beat in uniform. The Chief's
Ideas on this matter conflict with the
orders of Commissioners Greene and
Babln. who "suggested" that Day and
three others be ordered into uniforms
and put on patrol duty. The officers
refused to do this, under advice from
counsel, and were again cited to ap
pear for a hearing. Insubordination
and refusal to obey orders were the
charges.
After two hours of taking testimony,
hearing objections by Attorney Logan
and Wolfe, who appeared in the ab
sence of the regular counsel, Ralph E.
Jioody, Commissioners Greene and Sa
bln last night took the case under ad
visement. They steadfastly refused to
postpone the hearing, although Chair
man Greene admitted that he knew be
fore preferring these latest charges
that Mr. Moody .was to leave the city
on a trip to Texas, and would, there
fore, be unable to represent his clients,
whose cause he has championed for
two years, since they were discharged
by the Executive Board.
Chief Gritzmacher, it is declared by
Attorneys Logan and Wolfe, is in con
tempt of court, since he took the stand
last night and testified in the case
wherein Detective Day 1b defendant,
inasmuch as the Chief was enjoined
from doing anything further toward
carrying out the recent order to put
Day and the others in uniform. The
injunction Is still pending in the Cir
cuit Court.
Did It Because lie Had To.
Chief Gritzmaclier's sworn testimony
clearly showed that he is out of i, sym
pathy with the proceedings and with the
orders of the police committee in order
derlng Detectives Day, Reslng, Snow and
Carpenter Into uniform as patrolmen,
and he so stated, in effect, by saying
that he simply obeyed what he regarded
as a direct order to force them to don
the hlue cloth and brass buttons of the
patrolman, "suggested" by the commis
sioners. -The Chief swore that Joe Day
is one of the most competent detectives
In America and a most valuable man as
(uch. but said that, under the written
"suggestions" of the commissioners to
put Day and the others in uniform, he
was obliged to carry out the order.
There was much adverse comment
among the large number of persons at
tending the session last night as to the
manner In which Commissioners Greene
and Sabin overruled the petitions of
counsel for a -postponement of 10 days,
until Mr. Moody could return, and the
fact that Commissioner Greene, the au
thor of the charges, sat as presiding of
ficer at the hearing. That an unfair
advantage was taken of the defendants
seemed to he the general belief, and it
is certain that, if the commissioners re
port In favor of the discharge of the four
officers, the case will be appealed to the
Civil Service Commission.
What Pay Will and Won't Do. .
None of the accused officers except De
tective Day took the stand. He testi
fied to his many years of service in the
department, on direct examination, and
when asked by Commissioner Greene If
he would be willing to report at head
quarters and perform whatever service
might be ordered by the Chief. Day re
plied very emphatically that he would
work only as a detective in plain clothes,
and not In uniform.
"I positively will not work except as a
detective in plain clothes," said Detective
T)ay. "I have served 27 years as a de
tective, and I will not lie to you; I will
tell you right now that I will not stand
to be humiliated."
Detectives Reslng and Carpenter were
present, but did not testify, except that
Mr. Resing said he was very sorry the
case was pushed to a hearing without the
presence of Mr. Moody, who had guarded
tho interests of the four officers for two
years and who alone Is familiar with all
of the details of the case. Reslng said
ho might be willing to work in uniform,
but in the absence of Mr Moody de
clined to commit himself.
Commissioners Greene ana Sabln ex
cused themselves for the arbitrary rulings
and the forcing of the case to a hearing
without the regular attorney for the de
fense present, on the ground that this is
a new case; that it has nothing to do
with the old cases, which have been drag
ping along for two years and that the
Commissioners have no personal feelings
whatever In the matter.
MITCHELL XOT A CANDIDATE
Sior Will Governor Francis of Mis
souri Enter Race.
DENVER. July 9. John H. Mitchell,
ex-presldent of the Mlneworkers, and
David R. Francis, of Missouri, have de
clined to allow their names to be pre
sented before the Democratic Conven
tion as candidates for the Vice-Presidency.
Governor Francis this afternoon noti
fied the Missouri delegation that he la
Rot and will not be a candidate for Vice-'-esldent.
The Massachusetts delegation says
Governor Douglas' name will not be pre
ented for the Vice-Presidency.
Georgia will present the name of Clark
llowell for Vice-President.
John Mitchell today made a 'personal ap
peal to the Alabama delegation not to
present his name to the convention for
the Vice-Presidential nomination. Ala
lama, being the first in the alphabetical
roll of states, could give the Mitchell
movement Impetus by presenting the
mime of tho labor leader in advance of
other candidates. When Mr. Mitchell
heard that the. delegation had planned
such a step he lost no time in trying to
head it off. In discussing the situation at
the Alabama headquarters, Mr. Mitchell
said that, while he would possibly
strengthen the Democrats ticket In some
quarters, he would weaken it In others
and there he advised the delegation to
abandon its plan. Speaking of his per
sonal wishes, he said he had made plans
for the future which meant much to his
family and that he would like to be un
disturbed in carrying out his programme,
particularly as he was greatly averse to
enterlnsr uoon a political c&mnalra.
The Missouri delegation today- called
UNDER ADV
I5EMEN
en ex-Governor David R- Francis
and announced a decision reached today
to put him in nomination for the Vice
Presidency. The Missourians expected to
secure for Mr. Francis the support of
Eastern Democrats because of the fact
that he was a member of the Cleveland
Cabinet.
The Indiana delegation today began
working earnestly among other delega
tions in an effort to arouse sentiment for
John W. Kern for the Vice-Presidential
nomination. His delegation is solidly
behind him and more than a dozen states
have been pledged to support . him in
the event that Judge Gray, of Delaware,
is not available.
A QUESTI0N0F SPELLING.
International Copyright Law Leads
Cs to Old Standard.
New York Mail.
Could any one have foreseen, when the
present international copyright law of
the United States was passed, that It
would tend to overthrow the "American"
orthography and assimilate our spelling
to the cumbersome forms In vogue in
England? That is, that this public
spirited law would in a considerable de
gree dragoon us Americans into spelling
"honor" and "favor" with the "u"?
Surely no one could have predicted it.
Tet that has been the result. Every
year scores of American books are print
ed which have their pages sprinkled with
"humour" and "flavour," and In which
"civilize" is spelled in the last syllable
with an "s" and other words in English
fashion. Any popular novel, written by
an American and dealing with American
subjects and characters, Is as likely as
not to be as Brltannio in Its orthography
as an Oxford prayer book.
Why is this so? It Is easy to explain.
The American law restricts copyright to
books printed from type set within the
limits of the1 United States, while the
British law. has no such restriction of
the right in that country to books printed
there. In other words, a book printed
from type set In America may be copy
righted in Great Britain and elsewhere
in Europe, whereas a HDOok printed from
types set abroad may not be copyrighted
here. Now, the English abhor our Web
sterlan spelling, and will not have It if
they can help it. But many of our books,
and especially a certain class of novels,
are Intended to have a circulation in
Great Britain.
Though the English are so devoted to
their own spelling, they do not care so
much about their compositors. They are
perfectly willing that the books they read
shall be set up in the United States, pro
vided they are properly that is "honour
ably" spelled. Our own publishers do
not care how the books are spelled, pro
vided they get the British sales. So in
our book printing establishments the
order often goes forth. "English spelling"
and the Yankee presses groan with
volumes in the old orthography.
Apparently the American reading public
does not care. "Favour" and "humov-r,"
"plough" and "connexion," do not offend
it. Perhaps it rather likes them. Every
day the people become more accustomed
to them. Already in wedding and social
invitations, the "u" is always employed
In honor." and so forth. It looks very
much as if we were gradually returning,
in spite of spelling reform agitation, to
the old standard. And It Is this patriotio
copyright law that is doing it. Yet, the
reaction would not have taken place if
the decimal-hating, reform-scorning
British public had been more considerate
of its printers than of its prejudices if,
In the words of tho poet, It "loved not
'honour' more."
RUSSIA WANTS A FRIEXD
Would Foster Closer Relations With
American People,
ST. PETERSBURG, July 9. The Ros
sia today publishes a "letter from its1 cor
respondent in the United States, who
urges in strong terms the necessity, par
ticularly for Russia, of a better under
standing between the Russian and the
American peoples, and who proposes a
method by which this highly desired end
can be accomplished.
The correspondent deplores what he
calls the animosity of the American, peo
ple today toward Russia, and says this
is a direct outcome of the persistent ef
forts of the enemies of the Russian em
pire, the Japanese during the late war,
and subsequently Russian political agi
tators who visited the United States and
gave the American people a false and
mystifying Idea of conditions In the em
pire. To remedy this deplorable condi
tion, the correspondent says the Ameri
can people must be Instructed in what
Russia really is. The press is not the
way to do It, nor must the method Tie
tainted by an official connection. Rus
sian society must act by itself unaided.
WATTERSON ADDS HIS PLEA
Vainly Crges Gray to Accept the
Second Place.
WILMINGTON. Del., July 9. Despite
the absolute quality of his refusal to ac
cept a nomination for Vice-Presidency
at the hands of the Democratic National
convention. Judge George Gray continues
to receive communications in reference
to the subject. Answering Inquiries to
day. Judge Gray stated that he had re
ceived no letter from Henry Watterson, of
Louisville, pleading with him to accept
the nomination for Vice-President, as had'
been reported, but that he had received,
last Friday, a telegram from the vet
eran editor urging him to acquiesce In the
proposition.
He replied, as he had replied to the As
sociated Press, that he would "under no
circumstances accept such a nomina
tion should it be made."
This, he says, is still his attitude and
will be unaltered.
Killed in Auto Accident.
OAKLAND, Cal., July 9. Ernest T.
Scribner, of Rockland, Cal., was In
stantly Killed by an automobile acci
dent on the Hayward road, about a
mile southeast of Hayward. at 6
o'clock this morning. Three other per
sons were severely injured and were
removed to the Alameda County In
firmary for surgical treatment. The

Nelson; Major John D. Jeffrey, a re
tired Army officer and well-known
clubman. At last report the patients
were resting easy and there Is no serl.

NEW YORK. July 9. Active work has
begun on the plans for the administration
building of the Lillian Nordica Festival
House to be erected by the singer at
Harmon-on-the-Hudson. This is the first
of the group of the handsome and artistic
buildings that, fostered by the prima

ROME, July 9. The codification of the

Cardinal Gasparri has been working for
the lest year, will be finished some time
in 1908. A copy of the new compilation
will be sent to each bishop in the Cath

that this work of revision will take two
years more. .

against only 10.279 new offices created un
der the Cleveland and McKlnley adminis
trations, which involved an expenditure of
only S6.0OO.O0O.
We denounce this growing increase in
the number of office-holders as not only
unnecessary and wasteful, but also as clear
ly indicating a deliberate purpose on the
part of the administration to keep the Re
publican party in power at public expense
by thus Increasing the number of Its re

corrupt than the open purchase of votes
Economy In Administration.
The Republican Congress, in the session
Just ended, m has made appropriations
amounting to 11,003,000,000, exceeding the
total expense of the past fiscal year by
S0,000,0u0, and leaving a. deflclt of more
than $00,000,000 for the fiscal year, we
denounce the heedless waste of the peo
ple's money which has resuHeri in thi n
palling increase as a shameful violation of
all prudent conditions of government, and
as no less than a crime against the mil
lions of working women and men, from
whose earnings the great proportion of
these colossal sums must be extorted
through, excessive tariff exactions and other
indirect methods.
It Is not surprising that in the face of
this shocking record the Republican plat
form contains no reference to economical
administration or promise thereof in the
future. We demand that a atop be put to
this frightful extravagance and Insist upon
the strictest economy In every department
compatible with frugal and efficient admin
istration. Curb Arbitrary Power of Speaker.
The House of Representatives was de
signed by the fathers of the constitution
to be the popular branch of our Govern
ment, responsive to the publio will. The
House of Representatives, as controlled la
recent years by the Republican party, has
ceased to be a deliberative and legislative
body, responsive to the will of a majority
of its members, but has come under the
absolute domination of the Speaker, who
has entire control of its deliberations and
powers of legislation.
Wo have observed with amazement the
popular branch of our Federal Government
helpless to obtain either the consideration
or enactment of measures desired by a
majority of Its members. Legislative gov
ernment becomes a. failure when one mem
ber, in the person of the Speaker, is more
powerful than the entire body.
We demand that the House of Represen
tatives shall again become a deliberative
body, controlled by a majority of the peo
ple s representatives. and not by the
fapeaker, and we pledge-ourselves to adopt
such rules and regulations to govern the
House of Representatives as to enable a ma
jority of its members to direct its delib
erations and control legislation.

Publicity of Campaign Contributions.
We demand Federal legislation forever ter
minating the partnership which has existed
between corporations of the country and the
Republican party under the expressed or im
F iSd.."re.ment that in return for the con
tribution of great sums of money wherewith
to purchase elections they should be allowed
to continue substantially unmolested In their
efforts to encroach upon the rights of the
people.
..Any ,reasonable doubt as to the existence of
tnis relation has been forever dispelled by the
sworn testimony of witnesses examined in the
insurance investigation in New York and
the open admission, unchallenged by the Re
publican National committee, of a single in
dividual that he himself at the personal re
quest of the Republican candidate for the
Presidency raised over a quarter of a million
dollars to be used in a single state during
the closing- hours of the last campaign.
In order that this practice shall be stopped
for all time, -we demand the passage of a
statute punishing, with imprisonment only,
officers of corporations who shall either con
tribute on behalf of or consent to the con
tribution by a corporation of any money or
thing of value to be used in furthering the
election of a President or Vice-President of
the United States or of any member of the
Congress .thereof.
Denounce Republican Dodging.
We denounce the action of the Republican
party, having complete control of the Federal
Government, for Its failure to pass the bill.
Introduced at the last Congress, to compel
the publication of the names of contributors
and the amounts contributed toward campaign
funds, and point to the evidence of their
Insincerity when they sought by an absolutely
Irrelevant and Impossible amendment to de
feat the passage of the bill. As a further
evidence of their Intention to conduct their
campaign in the coming contest with vast
sums of money wrested from favor-see b icj:
corporation, we call attention to the fact that
the recent Republican National convention at
Chicago refused, when the issue was pre
sented to It, to declare against such practices.
"We pledge the Democratic party to a law
preventing any corporation from contributing
to a campaign fund and any individual from
contributing an amount above a reasonable
minimum and providing for the publication
before election of all ouch contributions.
Oppose a Centralised Government.
We assert our confidence In and admira
tion for the wisdom of the fathers in so
organizing the Federal Government as to
secure rule to the people of each state; and
we pledge ourselves to combat with increas
ing vigilance the efforts of those who are
striving by usurpation to seize the powers
of the people of the state for exploitation
by the Federal Government. Believing,
with Jefferson, in "the support of the state
governments In all of their rights as the
most competent administration for our do
mestla concerns and the surest bulwark
against anti-Republican tendencies and In
the preservation of the general government
in Its whole constitutional vigor as the
sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad," we are opposed to the cen
tralization Implied in the suggestions now
frequently made that the powers of the
general government should be extended by
executive and legislative action and by ju
dicial construction.
There is no twilight zone between the
Nation and the state in which exploiting
Interests can take refuge from both, and
it is as necessary that the Federal Govern
ment shall exercise the powers delegated
to It as it Is that the state governments
shall use the authority reserved to them,
but we insist xthat the Federal remedies
for the regulation of interstate commerce
and for the prevention of private monoply
shall be added to, not substituted for state
remedies.
Revision of Tariff.
We welcome the belated promise of tariff
reform now offered by the Republican partv
in tardy recognition of the righteousness of
the Democratic position on this question; but
the people cannot safely entrust the execution
of this important work to a party which is
so deeply obligated to the highly protected
Interests as is the Republican party. We
call attention to the slpniflcant fact that the
promised relief was postponed until after the
coming election an election to succeed In
which the Republican party must have that
same support of the beneficiaries of the high
protective tariff as it has always heretofore
received from them; and to the further fact
that during years of uninterrupted; power no
action whatever has been taken by the Re
publican Congress to correct the admittedly
existing tariff lnfquities.
We favor immediate revision of the tariff

upon articles competing with such American
manufactures as are sold abroad more cheap

should be made la such other schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tariff to a
revenue basic.
Existing duties have given the manufac
turers of raper a shelter behind which they
have organized combinations to raise the price
of pulp and of paper, thus imposing a tax
upon the spread of knowledge. We demand
the immediate repeal of the tariff on wood
pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs
and that these articles be placed upon the
free list.
'Reform 1b Rankins; System.
The panic of 1907, coming without any le
gitimate excuse, when the Republican party
had for a decade been in complete control
of the Federal Government, furnishes addi
tional proof that it 1 either unwilling or
Incompetent to protect the Interests of the
general public. It has so lined the country
to Wall street that the sins of the specula
tors are visited upon the whole people.
While refusing to rescue the wealth-producers
from spoliation at the hands ol the
stock gamblers and speculators In farm prod
ucts, it has deposited Treasury funds without
interest and without competition in favorite
bejiks. It has used an emergency for which
It is largely responsible as an excuse to
force through Congress a bill changing the
basis of the bank currency and inviting mar
ket manipulation, and has failed to give to
the 15,000.000 depositors of the country pro
tection in their savings.
We believe that Insofar as the needs of
commerce require an emergency currency,
such currency should be issued, controlled
by the Federal Government and loaned- on
adequate security to National and state banks.
We pledge ourselves to legislation under
which National banks shall be required to
establish a guarantee fund for the prompt
payment of the depositors of any insolvent
isauonai Bank under an equitable system
which shall be available, to all banking in
stitutions wishing to use It. ,
Postal Savings Banks.
W'e favor a postal savings bank, if the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured, and that
It be constituted so as to keep the deposited
money in the communities where it Is estab
lished. But we condemn the policy of the
Republican party in providing postal savings
banks under a plan of conduct by which they
will aggregate the deposits of rural com
munities and re-deposit the same, while un
der Government charge, In the banks of V.11
street,- thus depleting1 the circulating Tne
dium of the producing regions and unjustly
favoring the speculative markets.
Improvement of Waterways.
"Water furnishes the cheapest means of
transportation and ths National Government
having the control of navigable waters should
improve them to their fullest capacity, and
we earnestly favor the immediate adoption of
a liberal and comprehensive plan for im
proving every water course in the Union,
which Is Justified by the needs of commerce,
and to secure that end we favor, when prac
ticable, the connection of the Great Lakes,
with navigable rivers and with the Gulf
through the Mississippi River and the navi
gable rivers with each other and the rivers,
bays and sounds of our coasts with each other
by artificial channels, with a view to pro
tecting a system of inland waterways, to be
navigated by vessels of standard draught.
W'e favor the co-ordination of the various
services of the Govemmejit connected with
waterways In one service for the purpose of
aiding In the completion of such a system of
inland waterways; and we favor the creation
of a fund ample for continuous work, which
shall be conducted under the direction of a
commission of experts to be authorised by
law.
Against Ship Subsidies.
We believe In the upbuilding of American
merchant marine without new or additional
burdens upon the people, and without boun
ties from the public treasury.
Railroad Rate Regulation,
We assert the rights of courts to exercise
complete control over interstate commerce
and the right of each state to exercise con
trol over commerce within its borders. We
demand such enlargement of the Interstate
Commerce Commission as may be necessary
to compel railroads to perform their duties as
common carriers and prevent discrimination
and extortion.
We favor the efficient supervision "and the
regulation of railroads engaged in Interstate
commerce. To this end we recommend the
valuation of railroads by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, such valuation to take
into consideration physical value of the prop
erty, the original cost of reproduction and
all elements of value that will render the
valuation made fair and just.
We favor such legislation as will prohibit
the railroads from engaging in business
which brings them Into competition with their
shippers; also legislation which will assure
such reduction in transportation rates as such
conditions will permit, care being' taken to
avoid reduction that would compel a reduc
tion of wages, prevent adequate services or
do Injustice to legitimate investments. We
heartily approve the laws prohibiting the
pass and the rebate and we favor any fur
ther necessary legislation to restrain, cor
rect and prevent euch abuses.
Increased Powers for Commission.
We favor such legislation as will Increase
the power of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, giving to it the initiative with refer
ence to rates and transportation charges put
into effect by the railroad companies, and
permitting the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, on its own initiative, to declare a rate
illegal, as being more than should be charged
for such service. That the present law re
lating thereto is inadequate by reason of the
fact that the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion is without power to fix or investigate a
rate until complaint has been made to it by
the shipper we hold to be evident.
We further declare that all agreements of
traffic or other associations of railroad agents
relating to interstate rates, service or classi
fication, shall be unlawful .unless filed with
and approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. We favor the enactment of a
law giving to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the power to inspect proposed rail
road tariff rates or schedules before they shall
take effect, and If they be found to be un
reasonable to initiate an adjustment thereof.
Protection of American. Citizens.
We- pledge ourselves to insist upon the
Just and lawful protection of our citizens
at home and abroad, and to use all proper
methods to secure for them, whether native
born or naturalized, and without distinc
tion of race or creed, the equal protection
of law and the .enjoyment of all rights
and privileges open to them under our
treaty; and if, under existing treaties, the
right of travel and sojourn is denied to
American citizens, or recognition is with
hold from American passports by any coun
tries on the ground of race or creed, we fa
vor prompt negotiations with the govern
ments of such countries to secure the re
moval of these unjust discriminations.
We demand that all over the world a
duly authenticated passport issued by the
Government of the United States to an
American citizen shall be proof of the
fact that he is an American citizen and
shall entitle him to the treatment due him
as such.
Abuse of Injunctions.
The court of justice are the. bulwark of
our liberties, and we yield to none In our
purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party
has given to the bench a long line of dis
tinguished Judges who have added respect
and confidence, in which this department must
be Jealously maintained. We resent the at
tempt of the Republican party to raise a
false Iebuo respecting the Judiciary. It is an
unjust reflection upon the great body ot our
citizens to assume that they lack respect
for the courts. "
It is the function of the courts to inter-
firet laws which the people create, and if the
awa appear to work economic, social or po
litical Injustice, it Is our duty to change
them. The only basis upon which the in
tegrity of our courts can stand is that of
unswerving justice and protection of life and
property. If judicial processes may be
abused, we should guard them against abuse.
Experience has proven the necessity of a
modification of the present law relating to in
junctions, and we reiterate the pledge of
our National platforms of 1896 and liKH in
favor of the measure which passed the UnUM
States Senate in 1896, but which a Republi
can Congress has ever since refused to enact,
relating to contempts in Federal courts and
providing for trial by Jury in cases of in
direct contempt.
Questions of judicial practice have arisen,
especially In connection with Industrial dis
putes. We deem that parties to all judicial
proceedings should be treated with riglnd im
partiality, and that Injunctions should not
be i&sued in any cases In which injunctions
would not issue if no industrial dispute were
Involved.
Righto of Labor to Unite.
The expanding 'organization of Industry
makes it essential that there should be no
abridgement of the right of wage-earners and
producers to organ l2e for the protection of
wages and the improvement of labor condi
tions to the end that such labor organiza
tions and their members should not be re
garded as illegal combinations in restraint
of trade.
We favor the eight-hour day on all Govern
ment work.
We pledge the Democratic party to the en
actment of a law by Congress as far as the
Federal jurisdiction extends for a general em
ployers llbaility act covering injury to lody
or loss of life of employes.
We pledge the Democratic partr to the
enactment of a law creating a Department
of Labor, represented separately" in the Pres
ident's Cabinet, which department shall in
clude the subject of mines and mining.
Arizona and New Mexico.
The National Democratic party has for
the last 16 years labored for the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico as separate
states of the Federal Union and, recogniz
ing that each possesses every qualification
to successfully maintain separate state gov
ernments. w favor the immediate admis
