FIVE WOULD DO FOR MAYOR
Committee of 100 Gives Out Advi
sory Lift Republican Organiza
tion Holds Aloof From This
Form of Campaign.
BT LLOTD F. LOKEROAN.
XET YORK. Sept. L (Special.) The
Committee of One Hundred after several
weeks of mysterious "conferences" has
finally coma to the front with toe names
of five members, who. It believes, would
be acceptable candidates for Mayor this
Fall.
And 'William Loeo. Jr.. Collector of
the Port of New York, who was first
mentioned In The Oregonlan. beads the
list.
The others who are marked "O. K."
are Charles A- Moore, Gustav H. Schwab,
Nicholas Murray Butler and Wallace
MacFarlane. The last named is the
only Democrat, while Loeb and Moore
are the only ones who havs a chance
of being accepted by the other fusion
organizations.
Schwab is a steamship agent and not
very well known to the general public.
Butler succeeded Seth Low as president
of Columbia University and that Is
enough to queer him with the men who
believe Low was a most unsatisfactory
executive. MaoFarlane is a "Cleveland
Democrat." and an ex-United States Dis
trict Attorney. He was appointed by
Oovernor Hughe as referee to hear the
charges against Louis Holler, borough
president, aod recommended his removal.
MacFarlane. professionally, is In the
class known as corporation lawyers,
which naturally makes him unpopular
with the mass of the voters. Besides
this, it can be positively stated that
the Republican organization will never
accept him.
Moore a Strong Candidate.
Loeb's qualifications for the office are
well known, but Moore has many ele
ments of atrength.
Charles A. Moore is an Iron manufac
turer and reputed to be worth several
millions of dollars. He was for several
terms president of the exclusive Montauk
Club In Brooklyn, and has been presi
dential elector and delegate to various
National conventions but has heretofore
declined to run for office. Mr. Monre is
a personal friend of Timothy 1 Wood
ruff and that may count against him
with Herbert Parsons, the suave leader
of the New - York County Republicans,
who is secretly opposed to any thine that
Woodruff may want.
The iron manufacturer Is tall, stout
and a good mixer. As he is absolutely
without political experience It is a ques
tion as to what kind of a Mayor ha
would make.
Meat for Other Places Suggested.
The Committee of One Hundred, not
content with suggesting five Mayoralty
candidates, has made public the names
of men who it thinks would properly
All the other important offices.
Tha City Controller holds a position
only second in Importance to that of the
Mayor. It is the patronage of this of
fice, ss administered by Herman A. Meta,
that has kept Senator Patrick H. Me
Carren In power in Brooklyn. As "fit
candidates" the Committee of One Hun
dred recommended Lavaon X. Purdy,
president of the Board of Taxes and As
sessments, and William A. Pendergaat,
Register of Kings County (Brooklyn.)
Purdy Is a Tammany Democrat. Pen
dergaat. classed as a Raupbllcan. is on
the outs with his county organisation,
and is slsted to be turned down this
Fall. Under the circumstances neither
of these men will prove acceptable when
the conferees get together later In the
month. Perhaps even the Committee of
One Hundred does not expect It.
For president of the Board of Alder
men, the One Hundred" offers E. R. L.
Oould, former Deputy City Chamberlain;
Robert Fulton Cutting, until recently
head of the Citizens' Union, and Assem
blyman William M. Bennet, of the Fif
teenth District. Manhattan.
Gould Is a Democrat, who seldom votes
the Democratic ticket. Cutting is classed
as a Republican and only Infrequently
cuts a ballot for his party nominees.
Roth are regarded as political cranks, and
the nomination of either would cause a
howL Bennet Is a district leader, with
a good reputation, at Albany.
The committee of One Hundred thinks
that George McAneny or John Henry
Hammond would make an excellent
President of the Borough of Manhattan.
McAneny Is president of the City Club
and has been a noisy reformer for years.
Hammond was a Republican district
leader, but was voted out of office.
These names are suggested by the com
mittee on nominations of the One Hun
dred, which Is holding almost dally meet
ings In the Fifth Avenue building. Its
membership is made up aa follows:
C. C. Burllngham. lawyer and former
president of the Board of Education;
William A. Coakley. labor leader: John
Davis. Bronx, lawyer: Professor Franklin
H. Gidtlings, of Columbia University;
Raymond V. Ingersoll. lawyer and chair
man of the One Hundred executive com
mittee: Percival Kuehne. " banker, of
Kuehne, Loeb Co.; Arnold B. McStay,
labor leader; Eugene H. Outerbridge.
merchant: Joseph M. Price, secretary of
the One Hundred: William C. Red field,
former Superintendent of PubHo Works,
Brooklyn; E. Piatt Stratton. Engineer, of
Queens.
None of these men has had any ex
perience1 In practical politics, and It Is
generally agreed that their lnital selec
tors do not demonstrate any wonderful
abllty.
In fact outside of Loeb and Moore they
do not seem to have selected any candi
dates who have a chance to land on tha
ballot.
"We have Invited committees from tha
smaller organizations In the fusion move
ment to attend our conference," sayj
Chairman Outerbridge. "By the tenth of
the present month, which will be' at least
20 days before city candidates are named,
we expect to havs a strong anti-Tammany
lineup."
Play Waiting Game.
At the present writing the Republican
organization has shown no desire or in
tention -to participate In fusion candi
dates. Parsons and Woodruff have de
cided to play a waiting gams and con
tent themselves by saying that aa their
organization havs not "authorized" them
to dicker with other bodies, they have no
right to move In the matter.
All the same, they are watching the
-One Hundred" very sharply, and are
pleased to not the Inexperienced move of
' the men who mthey hope to make their
allies. At the proper moment they ex
pect to bowl over these "Impossible can
didates" and bring about tas selection of
men who will aid to strengthen the or
ganization. Ex-Judge Whitman, of the Court of
General Sessions, returned from Europe
the other day. He Is the only candidate
for Mayor who has gone to the trouble
of putting out campaign buttons. Mr.
Whitman wants to be Mayor and is will
ing to say so In no uncertain tones.
"I am mighty glad to be back," he
said, "and I have my fighting togs on.
Certainly I will be a candidate for Mayor
if the people want me. It will be a com
paratively easy matter to elect a fusion
nominee over the Tammany-McClellan
forces. The people are aroused, and any
man who runs against that crooked ring
will be elected."
Mr. Whitman does not believe that
Justice Gaynor will be the Tammany
nominee for Mayor. He declined to com
ment on the Judge's personality, simply
saying. "I do not think he wants to re
tire from the bench."
The return of Whitman has put new
life Into his Mayoralty boom, which is
reallv In a promising condition. Despite
his well recognized independence. Whit
man is highly regarded by the Republican
district leaders, who believe they would
get a "fair deal" from him.
"Of course, he wouldn't suit us. like

FLOOD LOSS IS $100,000
NO LIVES CLAIMED BY NEVADA
CLOT7DBCRST.
Roads Are Washed Out and Mines
Damaged Water Cuts a
Wld Path.
RAWHIDE, Nev.. Sept. 1. It Is now
believed that the cloudburst that de
stroyed over 100 houses in Squattertown,
Just south of Camp, last night, did not
result In any loss of life although the
piles of wreckage strewn along the course
of the flood may conceal the remains of
some unknown victim.
Mrs. Makrey and Mrs. Batteries, with
the latter s two children, who were re
ported missing last night, were found to
day uninjured by the flood.
The property damage Is estimated at
tlOO.OOO and the Priskey Mining Company,
with a loss of J30.000, is the heaviest
loser. The entire equipment at the mine
has been destroyed and the shaft was
filled to the collar with water. The
owners state that a shipment of high
grade ore was carried away and cannot
be recovered.
The automobile road between Rawhide
and Shurz, the railroad point, was
washed out for seven miles and an ex
penditure of JrtX will be required to re
construct It. The wagon roads were con
verted into miles of rocky gulches and
will need extensive repairs.
Tonight the clouds gathered above the
town attain and there Is some fear of a
repetition of the cloudburst. The deluge
last night was unusually severe and ss
the water swept through the camps It
cut a path for Itself 200 feet wide and
from 5 to 20 feet In depth. The chan

AsMstant Director Charlea M. Barnet has

tion by Cuba of the system of collecting

subjects to be discussed.
Senor Nordarse states that It is the de
sire to keep the lottery tickets out of this
country, although until after his talk with
Mr. Hitchcock he said he could not say
what methods would be observed to
guard against attempts to send them
here.

MUST ACCOUNT TO BRITAIN
Reparation for Killing of Meteorol
ogist Demanded of China.
PEKIN.- Sept 1. Sir John Jordan, the
British Minister to China,, without wait
ing for the co-operation of the American
Legation, called on the Foreign Board to
day and demanded reparation and pun
ishment for the killing last June in Kan
Su Province of Hazrah All. a British sub
ject attached to the meteorological expe
dition faken Into China by Lieutenant R.
8. Clark, a former officer of the Amer
ican Army.
Sir John Informed the government that
an Investigation of the occurrence must
be made. The government demurred, but
the Minister was firm. In return, China
asked for reparation for the Chinese
killed In the encounter with the members
of the expedition.
Henry P. Fletcher, American Charge
d' Affaires, will take Independent action.
The apparent lack of co-operation be
tween the British and American legations
Is due to divergent views as to China's
responsibility. Mr. Fletcher, however,
has given assurances that ha will sup
port the British action.

Keel and Rudder Gone Rest of the
Cargo Recovered Tug Tows
Her Into Biter.
MABSHFIEUD. Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.)
Tha steamer Bandon has been saved
from total destruction, but is badly dam
aged and it is hard to tell Just what can
be done with the craft. This morning
the steamer was towed into the river, and
is at tha Bandon dock. That the ship
was saved is regarded as remarkable.
The keel, skag and rudder are gone, and
In the hull there are two big holes and
'many small ones. The craft Is afloat, but
filled with water to tha main rail. Some
of the cargo was wasned overboard, but
part of the lumber will be saved.
TJnUl the cargo is all out It will be dif
ficult to estimate the exact loss.
Through the efforts of Captain Chrlstlan
son. of the gasoline schooner Wllhelmina,
much of the 100 drums of distillate on
board tha Bandon was saved when the
boat was wrecked. When the wind re
ceded and the tids raleed the WUhelmloa
and a tug were able to get a line to the
Bandon and tow her back into the river.
