Woriman NEW DEAL NEEDED TO WIN & A. ing Cleveland Wing of Party Haa Issued Call for Conference at Sara tops, Flngy Conners Makes Epigrammatic Remark. BY LLOYD P. LOSEROAS. NEW YORK, Ausr. 15. (Special.) The Democratic conference to bo held -in Saratoga next month Is attracting far more attention from the newspapers than it Is from the men whom It de sires to attract. . , ' Them That's out are always trying to get in." is the way State Chairman Flngy Conners puts It. and, although his grammar may be bad. his deduc tions are declared by politicians to be good. ' ... "It Is the same old crowd, declares one Tammany district leader. "They have always been In opposition to the regular organization, and have a nerve to tell us jhow the party should be. run. "The leaders In the movement are Morgan J. O'Brien, Edward M. Shepard, Alton B. Parker, Thomas F. Osborne and William C. Sheehan. Everyone is or has been a bolter. It Is simply a grandstand play to put the old Cleve land gang In power again. Mark my words, the whole movement will 'blow up' before September." O'Brien Close to- Wail Street. Morgan J. O'Brien Is doing most of the talk for the "reformers." He is a former Justice of the Supreme Court, hut resigned to become chief counsel for Thomas F. Ryan. In addition, he is a trustee of the Equitable Life Assur ance Society, which Is owned by Ryan. Political experts say that Judge O'Brien, because of his Wall-street af filiations, is decidedly out of touch with the rank and file of his party. He may not realise it. but as a candidate for of fice he would not be a pacemaker. "The Democratic party In this state," savs Judge O'Brien In a formal state ment, "has been steadily losing ground because it has not taken any positive stand on policies. It has always waited for the Republicans. That policy is ruinous, because it does. not command respect from anyone, and shows that as a party It hasn't the courage of conviction. "It Is our hope that It can be revived by calling this conference and attempt ing to draw up certain positive princi ples far In advance of a state cam paign. We hope to get the men who are not too closely identified with the machine to come together, determine what steps shall be taken, and whrft are the principles upon which the party may be rebuilt." Already representative Democrats from 40 of the 61 counties of the state have signed the call for the state con ference. Those who sign from each county will name tnree oeiegii:a three alternates from each assembly district, which will make the meeting the exact slse of a Democratic state convention. As there are no state of-, fleers to be nominated this year, the re formers will not Interfere with profes sional political gatherings. Lively Time Predicted. "But what do they expect to accom plish, and If they know what they want, how are they going to bring it about'" Is a' Question that Is often atked these days. Charles F- Murphy and Flngy Conners hold the political strings In their hands, and any conces sions that are made will be due to their consent. In the meantime. Mr. Morgan and his frlertds are being fairly deluged with advice, and If the suggestions are adopted, there will be lively doings at Saratoga next month. In Grea(er New York last year only two dally papers supported William Jen nings Bryan, the New York World and the Brooklyn Citizen. Both are heartily In favor of reform Inside the party. Ths World puts It this way: "Here Is the test of the Saratoga con ference. Its sponsors are supposed to seek the scalps of Conners and McCar ren. which is well. But. to drive these men from- place it proposes to use Mur phy, whom greater power makes a greater menace to public decency than either. Do the conferees not know that Murphy will use them Instead? "With the rank and file of Tammany men. any conference calling itself Demo cratic must be In sympathy. " But it is the Independent vote that decides the Issue In New York. The way to win the Independent vote, the way to victory, and the only way. Is to cast off the Murphy. Connersea. McCarrens and McCabes; it is to resent, resist and defeat corrupt boss dictation. Democracy will win by de serving success. It will deserve success by becoming once again democratic." Housecleaning Is Demanded. The .Citizen names no names, but ap parently It agrees that a housecleanlng Is In order. Here are two extracts which show the tenor of its editorial: "It must be plain to students of poli tics that Democratic party leadership has suffered a marked decay in charac ter and Intellect In the last decade. In that same period the, 'Republican party leadership has gained In these respects. "The Citizen cordially indorses the State movement for a regenerated party management. We shall extend to It the same support that we have given to the similar movement In this county which preceded it. We recogniae the deficiency of the State party leadership in character and Intellect, and the need of an appeal to the electorate based upon affirmative policies In line with democratic principles of government." The whole situation In a nutshell Is just this: Certain high-class Democrats, undoubt edly influenced by the best of motives, are anxious to "clean house." Everybody knows that the organization', la a laugh ing stock today, and that the only way to rehabilitate it Is to kick Murphy, Con ners and McCarren out. Speeches or reso lutions, no matter how impressive, will not bring the Independents back Into Una If they are compelled to accept orders from Flngy and Tammany Hall.

Bat tle Is Xow Expected. TACOMA, Aug. 16. Competition be tween the Northern Pacific and the Chi cago. ' Milwaukee A Puget Sound Rail roads for the business of north water front mills reached a climax today when 15 Northern Pacific track laborers, di rected by Division Superintendent Albee, ripped up 30 feet of switch track con nAA,4n , k. Milwaukee's line with the plant of the Tacoma Mill Company, at Old Town. The tearing up of tho track Is said to be an outgrowth of, a dispute between the mill company and the Northern Pa cific as to the ownership of the spur track through the mill property. The damage was repaired durine the afternoon by Milwaukee construction crews, but the Incident Is expected to result to a law suit. The Installation of a ferry from the Milwaukee terminals to the northern Ta coma waterfront recently was regarded as a hostile move on the part of the Mil waukee road, and since then the Northern Pacific has been In a warlike attitude. Two weeks ago the Hill road refused to handle a car of Milwaukee freight to the northern waterfront unless it was trans ferred to a Northern Pacific car. SOLDIERS PRICK CROWD BAYONET CHARGE BY POLISH SHARPSHOOTERS. Riot Call Brings Police, Who Take In Five Militiamen, All Badly Battered by Spectators. CHICAGO. Aug. 15. Twenty persons were injured here tonight, when a com pany of Polish sharpshooters, returning from a picnic, charged a crowd of people with their bayonets. The trouble started when one of the of ficers hit a boy with his sworn when the youngster did not get out of the way quickly enough.

The crowd out numbered the soldiers when the riot be gan, and the captain of the company was the first to retreat. A riot call was .sent for 10 police, and they arrested five of the soldiers all of whom were more or less bruised. None was seriously injured.

'Vnen the mother U sick and must die. why does good God make her leave her babies, her own little ones. In the hands of strangers? Why must . they be helpless and suffering without their mamma? I can stand It no longer, Joseph. I am sick and must die and my children should go with me." , . Mrs Maria Handzel wept her complaint against a problem she could not under stand to her husband In their little home at 2840 South Sawyer street, and early this morning solved It in hef own way. She asphvxiated herself and three youngt-r children. Jimmy and Lottie, twins. 2 years old. and Joe, 4 years old. The tragedy was not disclosed until sunup, when the husband, Joseph Hand sel, a cabinet-maker, arose and found the dead bodies of his wife and children huddled together In the tiny bathroom with the gas streaming through a long tUTne pitiful story of fhe sick mother's struggle and the final -desperate courage with which she made the sacrifice' was revealed In sobbing, tear-halted chapters by the father and four remaining chil dren. The children are Martha, 16; Olga, 12; Johnny, 10. and Charley, 6 years old. They crouched, frightened, in the dark candle-rayed room, where their mother and sister and brothers lay aide by side on the white bier. Saturday night the mother broke down and told her husband she knew death was near, but she could not endure the thought of leaving her babies. Ho soothed her and retired, but when all were asleep, the doomed woman kissed tho others farewell and started In fhe valley of the shadow, taking with her the three little ones PASTOR GIVEN RECEPTION Father Butler, of Corvallls, Is As signed to Spokane.

R VAL TO BE BUILT China to Parallel Japan's Road Through Manchuria. BAD FEELING SMOLDERS Chinese Troops Sent to Chicntoo Following Outbreak of Resent ment at High-Handed Ways , of Japanese Officials. VICTORIA. B. C. Ang. IB. There was much military activity both In Japan and Manchuria when the Empress of India, which arrived yesterday, left Japan, in consequence of Japan's determination to rebuild the Antung-Mukden Railroad. Meanwhile, a further cause of trouble has developed in consequence of China having determined to build a rival line through Manchuria to connect Corea via Chlentao, the Island In the Tumen re-, garding whose ownership China and Ja pan are still involved, with Kilin, on the Chinese section of the Manchurian Rail road. Japan some time ago offered to con oede China's right to Chlentao If the Chi nese government wouia agree to building of this road by Japan, but China herself Is determined upon building this road. The terminal Chinese point of the line will be Hunchun, on the north side of the Tumen, near the Russian frontier, whence the road will be carried to Chlen tao and branches built thence In two di rections, one leading to Niguta. the other northwest to Kilin via Omoso, giving more convenient access to Kilin .and Muk den than that furnished by the Antung Mukden road, over which the two coun tries are in dispute. The reconstruction of the Antung-Mukden Railroad begun by Japan will require two and a half years and will cost $15,000,000. Rails made In Japan will be exclusively used. Further trouble has arisen In Chlentao between the Chinese and Japanese, due to arbitrary actions by Japanese officials. Advices were received in Japan of the dispatch of Chinese troops to Chlentao, and there was clamor that Japanese troops were to be sent. The movement followed the killing of Chang, a Chinese official, by a Japanese military offli-er In a yamen at Chientao. W. Jtf. I, ADD, Presides T. B.
