THE 3IOKXIXO OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1912. POLICE SCANDAL IS DEATH OF GAYNQR SCENES ATTENDING PRESIDENT TAFT'S NOTIFICATION OF EENOMINATION BY REPUBLIC AN PARTY Murphy Will Not Nominate for Governor Man Who Once Upheld Becker. "HIGH-CLASS" MAN SOUGHT Tammany Chieftain Has Word as to Wood row Wilson's Desires, and, Having Eye on Future, Is Inclined to Yield. BY LlOTD F. LOXEBGAX. XEW YORK. Aug. 0. (Special.) The bullet that killed Herman Rosen thal, the gambler, also Inflicted a death wound upon the political fortunes of William J. Gaynor, and even he real izes now that he cannot and will not be nominated for Governor, despite the fact that Murphy some months ago promised him that he should succeed John A. Dix. It must be said to Murphy's credit that he seldom breaks a promise. In the present only the most fanatical of Gaynor'a friends blame the Tammany Boss for going back on his word. They realize that with Gaynor as standard bearer the state campaign would be fought out on the issue of Tammany Hall and the police system, and the result would be almost certain defeat. Gaynor is now much in the position of the parrot who suddenly awoke to a realization of the fact that he talked too durned much. Gaynor has written too many letters. He bitterly assailed Rosenthal in letters to Waldo and for bade the Police Commissioner to sus pend Lieutenant Becker. In fact, the Mayor woke up only when Becker was indicted at a night session of the grand Jury and locked up without bail. Voter Are Skeptical. The Mayor's friends are going about now declaring that it Is preposterous to say that he had anything to do with the system. This may be true, but they cannot make the ordinary voter believe It. Gaynor has defended the leading lights of the system so vocif erously that many folks are mighty suspicious. "I believe Gaynor is honest," said one Tammany leader today. "In my opinion he has simply been fooled by men i" round him. But it would be Just as sensible for the organization to run .lack Rose or Becker as to place the Mayor on the ticket. Murphy has communicated the sad news to the City Hall. The Mayor has been informed that the best thing for him to do is to squash the boom which was started some time ago, and be glad that he has another year to serve in his present office. Murphy will con trol the state convention, and he does not want to have Gaynor'a name even whispered there. The Tammany Boss has troubles of his own, and he knows the police scandal will be enough of an issue without any loud cheers for the man who made it possible. Under present conditions Murphy Is veering around to Dlx again, and un less there Is another quick shift In plans the Governor will be renomi nated. Still, as the Tammany Boss has already changed his mind twice, an other alteration would not be surpris ing. Brnnrl'a Name Also Recalled. When Murphy prepared his state ticket two years ago, he was in no manner sure of election. That was why he selected Dix. an upstate un known, believing that by so doing he could partially remove the curse of Tammany. With success at th. polls. Murphy brightened up immensely, and the word went out that Dlx" successor would be John A. Bensel, State Kngi neer and Surveyor. Last year the voters took the lower house at Albany and the Board of Aldermen away from Murphy and would have removed other things from his grasp If they had had the power. In consequence. Murphy saw a great light, and the Bensel boom died a sudden death. Dlx has grown unpopular and Murphy, regard ing Gaynor as the best vote-getter in the organization, informed the Mayor that he was to be promoted. Every thing was running along in fine shape when the police department blew up. Vow Gaynor Is a political lost soul, without friends or a future. Murphy s far from being enthusi astic on the subject of Dix. He re gards the Governor as a "weak sis ter" who would like to be an inde pendent but has not got the nerve. At times Dlx has been against Murphy, at other times he has been with him. In fart the Tammany- boss has wasted a great deal of time in making the Governor "act sensibly." But, as Mur phy says to his friends: "What else can we do? At our con vention In Syracuse we mean to point with pride to the work of the Dem ocratic state administration. How can we do that If we turn the head of our ticket down?" Murphy does not explain why he Is interested in appearances now, when, up to a short time ago, he was ready to eliminate Dix, first In favor of Bensel and then for Gaynor. The ex planation is. according to well-informed politicians, that the Governor and the boss have come to terms. Dix promising that If re-elected he will be as good as any humble district leader. Aatl-DIx Men Form Party. The announced Intention of Murphy to stick to Dix has caused a great uproar. Already the Empire State Democrary has been formed with its chief object apparently the scalping of Dix. Its members has organized a "state party." and have served notice on Murphy that conditions call for the selection of a man who is not a Tam many puppet. Furthermore, they are threatening to bolt if Dlx is named. The "Two Toms" of the state ad ministration are also uttering loud and unhappy cries. These individuals are Thomas Conway of Plattsburg, Lieutenant-Governor, and Thomas Carmody of Penn Yann, Attorney-General. Each had hoped to be the next Governor and they are stirring up a lot of trouble wpstate. where their homes are. Mur phy is much more interested In them than in the Empire State Democracy. -H-? regards the latter as a bunch of soreheads and takes comfort in the re flection that they seldom vote the party ticket anyway. Carmody and Conway, however, are old party lead ers, and have followlngs. Should they leave the reservation it would have a considerable effect on the vote. There fore. Murphy is trying to soothe them by telling them that everybody will be renominated, and that "next time" well, who knows? . The "Two Toms" reply that they are apposed on general principle to a "next time." They know what they want and they want It now. and they object most strenuously to remaining in their present Jobs. Murphy's friends believe he will Mick to Dix. for there is really noth ing else to do. He does not truRt Carmady or Conway, believing that either one is ready to head an anti Tammanv revolt if the conditions look promising. So far aa Dlx Is concerned. Murphy is confident that he will be Above, Committee on the Way to the White House: Representative Hatfield, of Maaxachusett, Congratulating President Taft After the Notification tPhotos Copyrla-bted by American Press) Below, at Left, William Sulier, of n York, and Secretary Knox on Their Way ro the White House (Photo by Bain); Right, "Uncle Joe" Cannon, Who Wan Conspicuous at Taft's -otl fleatlon "I nrle Joe" Posed Bspeclally for This Photograph for the Press on the Steps of the White House (Photo Copyrighted by American Press).' able to manage him. He would pre fer a city man, one he could abso lutely rely upon to stay hitched, but conditions are not favorable, and no one knows it better than does the Tammany Boss. Woodrow Wilson has declared that he Is keeping his hands off state fights, but it is an open secret that he is much Interested in conditions here. So far as known, he has not communi cated with Murphy in any shape or manner, but the same cannot be said of his friends. The Wilson "herald is United States Senator O'Gorman, and he has told Murphy that the Presiden tial candidate's advisers would appre ciate a high-class state ticket. O'Gor man Is against Dix, and favors some active upstate Democrat who would in spire confidence. Murphy, while lis tening to the Senator, nas noi inai- cated what he will do, but sends word back to Seagirt that the field is still open. Murphy Would Avoid fr'ignt. Murphy naturally does not want a fight with Wilson. He hopes to land some good Tammany men in Govern ment positions if the Democrats are successful in the National election. On the other hand he Is opposed to placing at Albany a man who will cut his throat, and would far rather see a Republican Governor than an anti- Murphy Democrat. Here is the situation as it sianas i present: Murphy is wining 10 oniise no- row Wilson, and will nominate anyone whom the candidate's friends may sug gest, providing that he has assurances that the organization will be taken care OI. in me iuua i v " v" ttons. Murphy will renominate iix on the plea of party expediency, and do his best to elect- him. Tammany men generally agree wnu their leader, although mey are ir from being pleased with the outlook. They regard Dlx as a weak candidate. but hope he win sup in i.e.."c the split in the Republican party. For as one of them says: "It Is far better to lane a Htv. weak man when you know he will be good to the organization, than it is to have a cinch with a strong chap, who has the knife all ready to cut your throat. Politics is a business; it is not an amusement. And everyone will admit that there Is mighty little amusement In cheering for a cold-blooded individual like John A. Dix.

Ripley, president of the Santa Fe sys tem, makes an emphatic denial of rumors that he soon would resign, which have been agitating subordinate officials for several days. "I am not going to quit." asserted the railroad chief. "I have not been fired. Railroading is my recreation as well as my business, and I shall stay at it as long as I can." ' A throat affection which has trou bled the veteran official for some time probably formed the basis of the rumor. TAR WANTS ACTIO Congress Asked to Provide for Operating Canal. FREE TOLLS LATER ISSUE President Says Differences of Opin ion Should Not Delay Legisla tion on Questions Xot In . Controversy. WASHINGTON, AUg. 6. President Taft today in a special message to Congress urged Immediate enactment of legislation to provide an operating force for the Panama Canal, the gov ernment of the canal zone and the fix ing of maximum tolls. The President indicated that the question of free passage to American ships might- be determined later. "The discussions and differences of opinion which have arisen as to other phases of canal policy," wrote the President, "should not in my opinion be allowed to delay action on these vi tal and pressing subjects." The canal bill, amended, is now be fore the Senate. The Panama Canal bill was taken up by the Senate today. Senator Brande gee declared he proposed to keep it be fore that body continually for final action. Senator Thornton, Louisiana, a Demo crat, In the opening speech, held that the United States had the undoubted right .under the British treaty to ex empt American coastwise trade from the payment of tolls. Senator Jones of Washington also advocated the remission of tolls to American ships. "The United States has assumed all obligations for the neutrality of the canal." said Senator Jones, "and it can hardly be held, therefore, that the equal treatment guaranteed to other nations applies also to this nation." NICARAGUA FEARS SSEIGE (Continued from First Page.) One of the most artlve members of Me brokerage division of the cottonseed prod uct trade is Miss Kathryn Ballou. of Mem phis, tenn.. who is believed to be the only woman broken In the buitneu. hls troops and three machine guns, left the City of Managua. He was Joined by the entire police force and marched to Masaya, about 12 miles to the south. Some of the police have since returned here. The revolution rapidly extended. Gen eral Mena established his headquarters at Masaya and tried to enter into an alliance with the liberals, and espec ially with the followers of the diotator, Zelaya, against whom he fought two years ago. A letter was captured by the gov ernment troops on August 2, which was signed by General Mena and sev eral prominent partisans of Zelaya. It was addressed to certain liberal lead ers of the Province of Leon. The allies captured two boats be longing to the American company which operates the service on the Great Lakes and also seized the American railroad, taking possession of one locomotive and a number of cars. They tore up a portion of the track near Masaya. The trains, however, under American man agement, continued running on their regular schedule to Corinto. Federals Are Victorious. The first engagement between the government troops and the rebels oc curred at Tipltapa, on Lake Managua. The government forces were victorious and held the place. Several wounded men were brought to Managua. It - was reported on August 3 that the rebels were about to attack Rlvas and San Juan del Sur, and the govern ment sent troops from Managua on steamers to San Juan del Sur for tho protection of that port and its customs house. The United States gunboat Annapo lis, which was at Corinto on August S, landed bluejackets and sent them up to the capital. Long Struggle Feared. On the arrival of the American sail ors here they found all quiet and or derly. Business continued during the day, but at night military patrols marched about the streets. Recruiting continued and it was feared If the liberals rose a long strug gle would ensue. American Interests in tho customs house and the National Bank have remained safe. Telegraphic communication with the south is entirely Interrupted, but re mains open to Corinto and Blueflelds. Martial law was proclaimed throughout the republic on August 3. TAXIS ARE CHEAPEST Attempt to Abolish Hotel Buses In Seattle Canses Queer Prices. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 6. (Special.) From the King-street passenger sta tion to hotel at Second avenue and Stewart street. In a taxicab. 25 cents. From the King-Street station to the Arlington Hotel, four blocks nearer, in a hack, because the taxis are "busy" standing in line at the station, $1.60. This Is the scale of prices a recently arriving state official, tried in vain to break through. Eight other hotels could have had the state official as a guest at a 25-cent rate. Investigation reveals that the dis crimination in transportation charges is due to an effort by the taxi owners to force all the hotels of the city to abolish their free buses.
