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.

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. This enraged the crowd,
which had gathered to see the soldiers,
and the company was surrounded and an
explanation demanded by the angry
people.
Finally the mother of the boy attacked
the captain with a stick. The captain
then ordered his company, which con
sisted of about 20 men, to charge the
crowd with bayonets. 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.
MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED
Friends Unable to Make Johnson's
Death Mnrder Case.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. Aug. 16. (Special.)
Nothing has developed to throw light
on the mysterious death of R. A. John
son, the young man who was found on
the street Friday night, near his home,
with a bullet in his heart. Members of
the family are confident he was killed
by someone who attempted to hold him
up. The Coroner's verdict is that he com
mitted suicide. Neighbors who heard the
shooting now declare that there was but
one shot, and the pistol found near the
body with one cartridge empty was the
gun which Johnson had borrowed from
his brother to protect, himself against
robbery.
Johnson's health had not been' good.

- Morning by Distracted Hus
band and Father, Suffocated.
CHICAGO. Aug- 16. (Special. '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

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.
