TO ADMIRE BOSS
Murphy's Worst Enemy Admits
That Tammany Leader -Plays
Foxy Politics.
WANTED TO BE MARTYR
Brooklyn Senator Left Without F.l
cuse for Slashing Democratic
Ticket In View of New York
f
Convention's Action.
FT LI.OTD F. LO.VERGAK.
NEW YORK. Sept. 25. (Special.) "New
Tork City will return its usual Demo
rratlc, majority. If the upstate mem do
their duty we will elect our entire ticket.
This is the way CTiarles V. Murphy. Tam
many's leader describes the situation in
the state. It is known that Mr.- Mur
phy's personal views are that the Km pi re
state will remain in the Republican col
umn. But he has so managed thtnres that
no matter what happens the blame will
not attach to him.
"Murphy is playing foxy politics. I
didn't know he had it in him." is a re
mark made by his bitter foe, Patrick F.
McCarren. the other day.
The Tammany boss went to fiochester
thoroughly determined to follow his
knock-down and drag-out politics. He
fully Intended to throw McCarren through
the roof, and name a state ticket of his
own personal friends. And he had the
votes to do it. He also had tbe candidate
former Corporation Counsel "W. B. mil
son. In fact Mr. Ellison was hard at
work preparing his letter of acceptance.
The energetic "Fingy' Conners deliv
ered the first blow at the Murphy plan.
He marshaled the county chairmen, and
one after the other, they held prlv.ate
conference with the Big Chief.
"We don't like McCarren. but do not
expose him to public shame this year,"
was the burden of their cry. "Lt us be
harmonious, and then perhaps we can
win."
Hungry for Patronage.
Tearfully they pointed out that for
years they had been cut off from all pa
tronage, and that they were hungry.
And Murphy listened, but was not greatly
affected. For it is hard to cry over an
other's sorrows. The National commit
teeman Norman E. Mack took a hand in
the game. Speaking for Bryan, he sug
gested that harmony should be the watch
word. Murphy remembering that the
Brooklyn Senator had called him a "mis
erable liar." and a "political fathead"
remarked that it would be impossible to
make any concessions to McCarren.
Whereat Mr. Mack waxed eloquent. He
pointed out that if McCarren was ejected
from the convention, and Taft later car
ried the state, the blame whether right
fully or wrongfully would be placed on
Murphy's shoulders. Mack then men-:
tloned casually that New York has A city
election next year, and ardent Bryan men
might vent their 190S disappointment upon
the head of the 1909 Murphy Mayoralty
candidate.
"It is an unfortunate state of affairs
I know," he added. "But how could it
be prevented. Of course I -know myself
that you have done and will do every
thing you can to bring about Bryan's
election. But the average voters do not
know you as well as I do."
Diplomacy Wins Day.
Mr. Mack was so diplomatic that Mr.
Murphy did not take offense. He was also
so aggressive that the Tammany leader
was profoundly impressed. And as a re
sult, all opposition to the Brooklyn Sena
tor and his delegates was withdrawn.
Murphy even went, further than he was
asked to go. He agreed that the ticket
uliould be made up by the leaders from
the rural sections without any dictation
from him. And the original slate as pre
pared did not contain the name of a
single man from Greater New York.
At the last moment, however, the antl
McCarren men in Brooklyn clamored for
recognition. Murphy saw a chance for
somo more foxy politics, and placed the
name of Phillip Farley on the ticket for
State Engineer and Surveyor.
Farley is a nephew of Archbishop Far
ley, and has not been active In politics,
arid Murphy laughed when he ordered
him named.
"If McCarren cuts the whole ticket, he
kills himself with the voters," he said.
"If his followers slash Farley it will hurt
them at the next primaries. Should Far
Ijy be elected we will have some nice
patronage to use against McCarren."
Murphy despite his yielding "in the in
terests of harmony" demonstrated his
hold on the convention by the platform.
Allan A. Ryan, the Bon of Thomas F.
Ryan was in Rochester most of the time
the platform was in course of construc
tion, and never got far away from the
Tammany boss. His most important
mission was to see that no plank was In
corporated hostile to financial Interests,
particularly an expression favoring an in
ouiry Into Wall street. On this subject
Mr. Ryan had several interviews with
Mr. Murphy.
Some of tost Planks.
Among the suggestions sent to the plat
form committee and lost was one con
demning illegal speculation In Wall street
and demanding an investigation of some
of the practices there. It had many
friends. Also a few enemies among the
leaders who have or are cultivating Wall
street connections. The emasculation of
the platform so that It dodged many live
Issues was due to the direct Influence of
Murphy, his "right bower," Daniel Coha
lan. who has taken Bourke Cockran's
place In the organisation. William F.
Sheehan. ex-lieutenant-governor; Judge
Morgan J. O'Brien and "Fingy" Conners.
Cohalan drafted the document, and
never let It get far away until It had been
put into its fin:il shape. There was a
demand among the delegates for positive
declarations on half a dosen different is
sues, but suggestions sent to the platform
committee were tucked away by Cohalan
and the other leaders, and never saw the
light again.
All of which causes the Tammany men
to boast that they "are in right with
Wall street." and to talk of a record
breaking campaign fund.
The understanding is that the Demo
cratic State Committee, which means
Murphy and Conners (principally Murphy)
expects to have the handling of WOO.WO.
One report, and it comes from pretty good
authority. Is that before Murphy consent
ed to nominate Chanler, the Lieutenant
Governor agreed to turn over the tidy
sum of rX.009 for expenses.
The Governor s salary Is $10,000 a year,
and the term Is two years, but Chanler
is a millionaire, and can readily afford
the financial sacrifice if he desires to
make It.
To Be Financed by Ryan.
That the Democratic campaign will be
heavily financed by the Ryan interests Is
clear to anybody who has followed poll
tics. Ryan owns the Equitable Life In
surance Company. Ex-Judge Morgan J.
O'Brien ia one o the three trustees who
control the stock for Ryan. He was
temporary chairman" of the convention.
Alton B. Parker Is Ryan's lawyer. He j
was unanimously made permanent chair-
a real fight this year." said one active
man at Rochester. William F. Sheehan,
who was also very much in evidence at
the convention is Parker's partner.
"We. will have enough money to make
Tammany man today, "and we will spend
it. too. A good deal of it. however, will
remain in this city, for charity begins at
horns.
"M'urphy is' in an excellent position In
this fight, no matter what the outcome
majt be. If we elect our ticket, the credit
will; be his. because his concession to
haumony will count in his favor.
"Should we lose, which I think will
probably be the outcome, everybody but
Mjirphy will get the blame, and de
servedly. For Murphy allowed the up
state men to dictate the makeup of the.
tfc-ket. and has practically put all the
ir-SDonslbility on them. - They told him
they could win if they had Chanter, and
associate candidates who did not wear the
tllvery of Tammany.
"Murphy gave them their way and the
nominees are all of the npstate men's
selection. Now that they have been al
lowed to dictate, it is up to them to make
good. They have their ticket, and it is
their duty to supply the necessary votes."
McCarren is personally sorry that he
was not made a martyr, as he had con
fidently expecte.. It would have pleased
him to have .ad a chance to slash the
entire Democratic ticket. Now unless he
delivers the votes to Bryan and Chanler
he is more than likely to lose caste.
Which explains why he publicly an
nounces that he and his followers will
support the nominees.
(But he admits to his intimates that
Murphy has painfully surprised him.)

John Touhey, in Brother's Defense.
PORTLAND, f.ept. 15. To the Edi
tor.) I notice Un The Oregonlan this
morning that ttt.ese so-called detectives
of this city subject my brother in con
nection with tt.e murder of Patrolman
Young, on account of this said patrol
man having h d trouble with him and
another younj; man named Lamb. I
will state th;it it is a dirty lie as 'to
my brother htivlng threatened this po
liceman, bectvjse he could not have as
much hatred against Patrolman Young
as he woirJd sigainst the imitation of a
man who bea t both of them unmerci
fully when they got them Inside of the
police station on that Sunday evening,
where they hal both of them hand
cuffed and. perfectly helpless.
I will rJso state that the Municipal
Judge. ncv the District Attorney (Mr.
Cameron).- was on the car and said to
Patrolman Y'oung that he had told him
(meaning the policeman) to arrest the
boys, not' to beat them, or words to
that effect, because the patrolman, like
the mujofrity of the policemen of this
city, wlK n he saw the boys were feel
ing hila:rious (after a day's outing),
drew hts club and hit this sujpect,
Touhey, over the head because he knew
that Uvey were in no condition to de
fend t'.iemselves against one police
man with a club and seven or eight
condru: tors and motormen with switch
hooks and brass controllers.
As ffar as these detectives suspecting
anybody for anything at all, unless
stool pigeons and the like inform them,
that is a big joke. If they suspect
thes: two young men of this crime. It
shov.s what klna of detectives the tax
payers of this city are supporting.

"County" Bill's Failure to Car
ry Disappoints Party
Leaders.
AMENDMENT NOT OFFERED
Republican Plan to Secure Demo
cratic Support Goes Awry and
Situation Seems to Be More
Complicated Than Ever.
INDIANAPOLIS). InU.. Sept. 25. (Spe
cial.) The Republican, leaders are much
disappointed tonight over the failure of
the plans for carrylna through the county
local option bill, Uie mistake having
been made today wiSien the amendment
which was depended upon to bring Demo
cratic .support was rtot offered.
The bill passed to the third reading
without amendment and while this
would appear to . be progress by easy
stages, the leadere believe the situation
has become more complicated. Before
the house convened, this morning, it was
arranged tnat an amendment should be
offered for dual local option. By this
amendment it ras proposed to have the
vote cast on county local option, but if
any township fa the county or ward in
the city voted to be dry It should be dry
though all tha balance of the county
should be wet
This amendment, it was argued,' would
enable some Democrats to vote for the
bill and still be square with their party
platform wlllch demands township - and
ward local option. Had this amendment
been adopted it would have forced the
bill to a joint committee. While It re
quires 61 votes to pass a bill, a con
ference rtfport may be adopted by a
bare majority of those present. The
amendment was lost and the bill was
advanced
WILBUR WRIGHT'S FLIGHT
Traves 22 MUes in France Asked
to Cross Channel.
LE " MANS, France, Sept. 25. Wilbur
Wri;ht. the American aeroplanlst, made
a flJsht at the field of Auvers this morn
ing that lasted for 36 minutes and 14
seconds. He covered 22 miles at an
average height of 45 feet. He came to
the ground because one of the . gasoline
tejjks which had not firmly closed
lcaked. The distance made by Mr.
rlght yesterday when he flew for the
Mlchelin and Aero Club prizes has been
officially recorded at 39.09 meters (a Ut
ile over 24 miles).
' Mr. Wright denied today again that he
had ordered a more powerful motor
for his machine. He is Inclined to
think that 25 miles an hour will
be the maximum aeroplane speed
for some years to come. The friends of
Mr. Wright in France are trying to jjer
suade him to fly across the English
Channel.

wood ' and only three persons riding
therein are known to have got out alive.
Many of the killed were terribly mangled,
some of them being ground to bits.
When the relief train reached the
wreck, the scene was one of a most
heartrending nature. Many volunteers
were engaged in taking the bleeding
forms from underneath the wrecked cars.
The groans of the Injured and dying were
most terrible. On the relief train were
Dr. Watkins and his assistant from Bil
lings and several nurses, and at vPark
City and Laurel a number of other physi
cians got on the train.
Everything possible was furnished the
Injured and everything possible done to
save the lives of those who were dying.
The cold damp, snowy weather Increased
the suffering. The farmers living near
tendered their . services, supplying cloth
ing and blankets, and received many of
the Injured Into their homes.
Freight Train Stealing Time.
Railroad men tonight, while refusing to
be quoted officially or allowing their
names to be used because of the regula

licity as to wrecks, intimate that the
freight train was stealing time, that It
had no orders to proceed to Youngs. Point
and should have waited at Park City,
about six miles from the scene of the
wreck, for the passenger train. This Is
supposed -to explain why the Burlington

past the siding.

Hope to Save Stranded Cruiser.
NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 25. The work
of extricating the United States cruiser
Yankee from her position on Spindle
Rock, where she' struck during a fog
on Wednesday, was centered today In
the construction of a. wooden coffer
dam about the vessel. It Is believed it
will take almost a week to erect the
same, and it may be a week or more
before the vessel Is finally freed.
Should the seas continue smooth dur
ing that time It is anticipated that the
work will progress without serious
danger to the cruiser, but heavy seas
are likely to pound her upon the rocks
and force her abandonment.
