OBEGOXIAX. TriURSDATV NOVEMBER 11, 1909. " TITE MORXIXG : 1 " " "" " 1 - . ' 1 JJ.-- on PRESENTS Tl GHAPS H Cowboy Trousers Tendered Senator at Luncheon in Zone of Enemy. STATE'S FARMERS PRAISED Senator Denies Working for the East Alone, but Does Not Name Crit IcsHe Repeats Curren cy Reform Speech. OMAHA, Neb.. Nov. 10. That Senator Aldrirh Is becoming rapidly westemiKO, his friends will be convinced when he re turns to New York and WashinRton. If he wears his new clothes. The principal re cent addition to his Senatorial accoutre ment is a pair of leather chaps" such as cowboys war. They were presented to mm today by ex-Cnited States Senator Mader ton at a noonday luncheon tendered htm by Lather Drake, an Omaha banker. Mr. Aldrlch did not know what to call the trousers, nor did he make explicit promise to wear them. The comng of Senator Aldrlch had been expected with much interest. He had been advised that he would be in the heart of the"enemy's country." He had been preceded here by Congressman Fowler, of New Jersey, who Is represented to have severely criticised what are said to be some of the Rhode Island Senator's ideas. Mr. Aldrich took occasion to refute the idea that his ef forts as a legislator were , purely in the interest of Kastern States, but he did not mention any of his critics by name. Currency Study Needed. At the night meeting in the Commercial Club rooms Senator Aldrlch again went over the work of the Monetary Commis sion and outlined the labor before it, ap pealing to7 bankers .and business men to study the question of currency reform. He dwelt upon the National character of the work, declaring it would be almost, if not quite, impossible to formulate a banking law that would work wholly for the bene fit of any one section. In this connection he spoke of the rapid development of the West, and at the afternoon gathering said: "I made a trip through Southern Kansas in 1S91, and I then gave careful attention to the country. I would not have given 50 cents for the whole territory after I left Kansas City. But. now that country is flourishing like a green bay tree. They told me m Kansas City of a man who came Into a bank about the time of which, I speak and wanted to borrow tWM to put a roof on his barn. The other day this same man came into the bank and said he had a little sum he wanted to invest. The bankers asked. "How much?' Well," he said. 'I think perhaps I can pare 150.000 now.' Farmers Called Capitalists. "Here, in the brief span of a genera on. is a man who- started out by bor rowing $100) to repair his barn, and who has now become a capitalist. And, as nearly as I can make out, every farmer In Kansas and Nebraska and all this terri tory is a capitalist. "This is the capitalistic center of tho country. We shall have to look but for our laurels in the East. We used to loan money to this section. But I expect that soon if we need any repairs to our roofs we shall have to come to Omaha or Kan sas City to get it. "We have 25.000 banks, and soon will have. 50,000. We are going to have the greatest surplus capital of the world in the United States soon, and it- is your duty, as well as mine, to take such steps as you can to perpetuate the prosperity of the country." Senator Aldrlch has received many in vitations to visit other Western cities, but has declined them all. GAYNOR'S PLUMS MYSTERY (Continued Krom First Page.) turns. He was not. After a 6 o'clock din ner he went out unattended for a long walk, and did not return until after 8 o'clock. Two doors from his home he met a neighbor. "Congratulations. Judge," this man said. "'A glorious victory." "Ah, then I am elected." commented the candidate. "Thank you, Mr. Smith," and he walked into his home without a trace of excitement. The place was filled with newspaper men. but he k?pt them waiting for an hour. 'Then he wandered Into the parlor, announced that he would submit a state ment In writing, and vanished again. Since that evening he has said nothing of Importance except that he "will only quarrel with scoundrels" that the news papers grossly libelled him and that he Intends to put a number of "cowardly curs" in Jail, because they have "barked at him." Newspaper Man Stands High. Now he is taking a rest at his country place In St. James, Long Island. If any politicians have been consulted, the gen eral public is unaware of It. Murphy, of Tammany, does not claim that his organization has made any demands. The provisional leaders of terooklyin are re markably silent. The bosses in the other boroughs are too stunned by the result to say a word. In fact, the only person who enjoys confidential relations with the Mayor elect is Rudolph Block, until recently 'Katxenjammer kid editor" of the Hearst publications. Mr. Block Is Gaynor's guest at St. James and seems to be the Warwick of the new administration. Really. It would surprise nobody if the sour-faced Block turned from comic sup plements to municipal politics. In which case we may have Opper or Jlmmle Swlnnerton for Fire Commissioner. Seriously, it Is admitted that Block ran have any office in the gift of the new city executive, and any suggestions he may make will be received with grave attention.. For Guvnor is the kind of man who never can realise that color plate work hardly fits a man for deal ing with civic problems. Whether or not Block will enter the cabinet Is still an open question. His friends advise him not to, declaring that the "lacing" he would receive would make the campaign mudslingtng seem like generous applause. But Block is self-opinionated and Gaynor is obstinate, so we may have some "unrefined vaude ville" io our new city administration right from the start. The general opinion is that Gaynor will completely ignore Tammany. It is thought the Mayor-elect realize he owes nothing, not even gratitude, to the Murpliy organization. He will name Manhattan Democrats to office, of course, but they will hardly be the kind that Tammany can regard as "desirable." McCIcllan Regime Ended. McClellan's cahinet will go out almost to a man. The Tiger will not weep over this, for the bulk of the Commissioners wsre personal apointments and gener ally lined up against the regulars. The only notable exception was Klre Com- ICE KING SEEKS WHIT C. IV. MORSE. BAXKWRECKER, EIGHTS TO BE FREE. " Attorney Declares 15 Years' Sen tence Void for Exceeding Pen alty Provided by Law. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. A petition for a writ of certiorari to have the Supreme Court of the United States review the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Charles W. Morse, the ice king, convicted of misappropriation of funds of the National Bank of North America, was flied today by Martin W. Littleton, counsel for Mr. Morse. Formal presentation of the motion will be made by Mr. Littleton next Monday. Mr. Morse is under sentence of 15 years In the Federal prison at Atlanta. "The freedom allowed to insert in the Indictment several counts." said Little ton, "had been perverted Into a perfect debauchery of pleading." Mr. Littleton declared the sentence was void, because Morse had been sentenced to imprisonment of 15 years on the count, when under the statute he could only be sentenced to a term not exceeding ten years. ROBES WORN BY CROOKS Impersonate Judges and Later Col lect Berlin Court Debts." BERLIN, Nov. 10. A series of odd frauds on the first Provincial Court of Berlin was interrupted today by the ar rest of Lother Luedicke. an ex-court em ploye and two confederates, Willie AVarrnick and Hans Meier. The men are accused of breaking into the courtroom late in the afternoon. By putting on the judicial caps and robes they deoetved the janitors ano so were permitted to go about undisturbed. They examined the records, made notes of the names and addresses of persons owing money to the court, helped them selves to forms and seals, drew up the necessary documents for the collection of these debts and served the same in the pretended capacities of bafliffs. They are known to have been successful in 30 instances. When exposed, they were said to be planning a raid on the Imperial Supreme Court at Lelpsic. STOLEN MONEY IS SOUGHT Murderer Fanning May Have Had $1000 Deposited In Sallna. S A LIN A. Kan.. Nov. 10. Mrs. Fanny M. Mather, of Seattle, Wash., a sister of Mrs. Mary Short, who was murdered In Topeka a few days ago by Fred Fanning, was in Salina today trying to locate $1000. She declared the money was brought here lajst August by Mrs. Minnie English, who is under arrest in connec tion with the murder. Fanning asserting she forced him to commit the crime. Mrs. English and Fanning passed somn time here last Summer, coming a few days after Mrs. Short's money was taken from her by Fanning. Mrs. Mather says she believes tbe money Is on deposit here, but it had not been found when Mrs. Mather left for Topeka. flLES Cl'RKn IX to It DAYS.

Under the present administration, Brooklyn, has only two Commissioners, the heads of the Police and Bridge De partments. Gaynor Is expected to shift the majority over to Brooklyn, particu larly as he is acquainted with few per sons In Manhattan. 1 Police Commissioner Baker will prob ably stay. He has made an excellent record during the short time he has been In ofTlce. particularly in the matter of handling the Hudson-Fulton celebra tion crowds. Friends of Lawson Purdy. head of the Tax Board, say Gaynor "took notice" of Purdy's work on . the Slump, iney nope ne -win do reiainea.j noDDay can ay. iu 104.1, 11 is im possible to get a line on what the new Mayor may do. It is doubtful if even Rudolph Block can tell at the present time. From a Tammany standpoint, the wreck this year is appalling. In sal aries alone the organization will easily lose more than $1,000,000 a year. After January 1 every district leader, except three who are In tbe Legislature and the Board of Aldermen, will be out In the cold. The loss of the Sheriff's office, is one of the hardest blows. The salary and fees of the Sheriff make this job worth .V.000 a year. Then there is an Under SherifT at ISO), a counsel at J6000, 13 deputies at $25o0 and IS assistant dep uties at $1000, besides a number of places in Ludlow street jail. Besides, these are the kind of positions that are appre ciated by the district leaders, for they hold the organization) together. The new Sheriff, John L. Shea, is a Repub lican district leader, who now holds a $ position under the state govern ment. 0 Tammany Loses All Around. The new Register and County Clerk, both Republicans, have considerable val uable patronage Of course, the Tam many men will be promptly ousted, and as these two officials are elected for four years. 1t Is a sad blow. District Attorney-Elect Whitman, is a Republican and will probably clean house as ef fectively as possible. Many good Tam many men hold office under Jerome. There are hundreds of places in the Controller's office, but the Brooklyn Democrats were favored there during the past four years. Met aiding McCar ren to fight Tammany. Therefore. Will lam A. Prendergast, the new Repub lican head, cannot hurt the Murphy clan to any great extent. The Borough. Presidents will be able to oust a number of Tammany men from comfortable berths, and will undoubt edly do so. ' Even the loss of the three Supreme Court Judges hurts Tammany, for each has the appointment of a sec retary at $2500 and a confidential attend ant at $1000. To snm it all up, after January 1, Tam many will have in office only the men -who are protected by civil service, the City Clerk and a few positions In the courts. Their sole hope of anything else Is from Gaynor. and the Mayor-elect has not displayed an great anxiety to cater to Murphy. One of the old leaders puts It this way: ''Well, the organization has gone hun gry before and survived. But hunger for four years means starvation. A lot of people I know of will be compelled to go to work." - Ajid a Tammany politician hates real every-day work. It is so much pleas anter to loaf at the expense'of the tax payers. - CHIEF TURNS MOB BENT ON LYNCHING Angry Cairo Men Try to Reach One Suspected of Kill ing' Girl. PRISONER IS TRANSFERRED Will James, Held for Murder of Miss Pelly, Shifted From City to Coun ty Jail and Is Then Hur ried Out of Town. CAIRO. III., Nov. 10. Will James, alias "The Frog," the negro suspected of. murdering Miss Annie Pelley here Monday night, was taken out of Cairo on the northbound Illinois Central Railroad train at 7:15 o'clock tonight. While the negro has not confessed, the police say they have much evidence against him. A large crowd had gath ered around the County Jail, and it was feared an attempt would be made to lynch James tonight. Information has reached here that Sheriff Davis took James off the train at Dongola. 111., to avoid a mob that had formed at Anna to lynch him. Anna Is the former home of Miss Pelley. Visitors Pour Across Ohio. It Is reported now that the Sher iff will bring- the iiegrro back to Mound City, eight miles above Cairo, and lodge him n the Pulaski County JalL If James Is piit In a Jail in this vicinity the structure is sure to be stormed. Visitors have been arriving from many points across the Ohio River, and thf authorities were warned early that many of these latter were prepared to take a leading: part in any demonstration against the negro. ' Before daylight today Chief of Police Egan was twice called upon to help check crowds of men and boys who had started towards-the jail.. In one case he tore a mask from the face of a. man who appeared to be leading the gathering. He then prevailed upon the others- to dis perse, pleading that the evidence against James was only circumstantial. Police Sweat Suspect. . James, who is known as "Froggie," be cause of his frog-like features, was "sweated" by the police today. Attempts to trace his movements were made and evidence that the police assert tends to show that he was in the vicinity when Miss Pelley was attacked was obtained. It also tended to prove that the blood hounds were on the right scent when they went from the alley where Miss Pelley's body was discovered to several places where James' alleges he had been on the night of the murder.
