OFFERS REASONS AGAINST District Attorney Has Rarely ' Sup ported Democratic Ticket Since 189 2 McClellan's Pre diction Cheering. NEW YORK, Sept. 8. (Special.) Mayor McClellan cams home today, and on Tues lay "William Randolph Hearst will be nominated for Governor by- the Indepen dence League Convention, which is to be held in this city. By the Utter date it Is expected that the political pot will be bubbling briskly. The following Tues Say (September 18), will be devoted to the primaries, and Tuesday, September 25, the state conventions of. the Republicans and Democrats take place. Hearst men are interested In a story that William Jennings Bryan, when he met McClellan in London, promised that he would take the stump for the regular Democratic candidate for Governor. And they don't want him to do that unless the : reKular candidate is Hearst. In an effort to head off Bryan, a care ful Investigation of Jerome's political rec ord has been made, and It is unofficially stated that his record as a "good loyal Democrat" is based on the following ac tion at the polls: Jerome's Changing Allegiance. 1S.3 Voted for Cleveland for President. 1S3 Helped to elect the Republican state ticket (except Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, who held over). Voted against Maynard (Democrat) for Judge 6f the Court of Appeals. 1894 Supported Strong (Republican) for Mayor and Morton (Republican) for Gov ernor. Didn't like Hill or Tammany. 1S96 2o state or city election. ISSb Voted the Palmer and Buckner ' ticket. Opposed Bryan because he was a tree-silver man. 1897 Opposed both the Republican and Democratic candidates for Mayor, Tracy and Van Wyck, and lined up with Beth Low, Citizens' Union nominee. 1S98 Didn't regard Augustus Van Wycki Candidate for Governor, as a good Demo crat. Voted for Roosevelt. 1S!9 No state or city election. ' 1900 Couldn't stand for Bryan for Presl flent or Stanchfleld for Governor." Sup ported McKinley and Roosevelt and Ddell. 1901 Supported Beth Low (this time the tegular Republican nominee for Mayor) and was elected District Attorney on the Bam a ticket. 1902 As a good Democrat he objected to Bird S. Coler. Voted for Odell for Gov ernor. 1903 Supported Beth Low (Republican) for Mayor. Told him he would be de feated, and he was. 1904 Quietly announced that Alton B. Parker was an impossible candidate for President. Voted for Roosevelt, but was In line for Herrlck (Democrat) for Gov ernor. 1905 With five city tickets in the field, Republican, Democratic, Municipal Own ership, Socialist and Prohibitionist, op posed them all. Voted the ticket of the "Jerome Nominators," which only con tained his own name. How Can Bryan Support Him. "If said the Hearst man who prepared this list, "true Democracy consists In opposing the regularly nominated can didates of the party, then Jerome Is the truest true Democrat that ever hap pened. But I don't see how Bryan can come out .and help a man like Jerome who is politically nothing but a com mon scold." Jerome's peculiar political record has not yet been attacked In the newspapers, but it probably will be under discussion before long. When the matter was "put up to" the District Attorney unofficially the other day, he declared that he was with his party "when it wag right." and at no other time. Many old-line Demo crats take exception to the Jerome point of view, for if he is correct. It means that the party has been wrong in city, state and Nation ever since Grover Cleve land ran the last time. And that Is 14 long years ago! McClellan Will Galvanize Boom. Mayor McClellan's arrival is expected to put fresh life Into the Jerome boom, as Fire Commissioner John O'Brien, his former private secretary and present con fidential adviser, has stated that the Mayor means to "fire" summarily every office-holder who does not renounce Mur phy and come out Into the open for Jerome. In the meantime, the primary fights are becoming warmer, and one district leader, State Senator James J. Frawley, hag been arrested on a charge of beat ing two hard-working motormen who are aligned with an opposition faction. The average employe of the Interborough, however, is so overhearing that the Sen ator's exploit has actually gained him votes, for ordinary long-suffering citizens would welcome a campaign every week Jf It had a bruising effect upon the con ductors and motormen with whom they are daily thrown In contact. Encouraging to Hearst. A. cabled interview with McClellan to the effect that the Tammany delegation would not vote as a unit has excited much interest here. The Murphy and Hearst men take it as an acknowledge ment that the Mayor expects to be de feated, and plans to hoia at least a minority of delegates from New York County against Hearst. It is also pointed out that the abolition of the unit rule would be of more benefit to Hearst than to Jerome, for the former could win with one-third of the delegates from New York County, while Jerome's only hope is to have a solid band of "home folks' behind him. The Hearst men are publicly claiming that their man will be nominated re gardless of the action of New York and Kings County, but privately they only expect 70 districts -upstate ana in Queens County, and admit they need six In New York to win. Even if Jerome wins a big victory. Mur phy is certain of a better showing than that In the- 35 assembly districts here, so the Mayor's announcement is naturally a source of joy to the advocates of Wil liam Randolph Hearst. "If the unit rule is not enforced," said one of the Independence League old guard at the Gilsey House today, "no power in the state can prevent Hearst's nomination. Everything looks as If we had the Jerome men on the run." STILL- . STAXDS BY JEROME McClellan Returns Silent About Bryan, but Opposing Ownership. lies McClellan, looking the embodiment of health, arrived today on the American liner St. Paul after a three months' tour In Europe. On the question of the prob able nomination of Mr. Bryan by tne Democrats for the Presidency he would say nothing. "I met Mr. Bryan in London and talked on almost everything save the political situation," he said. Referring to the candidacy of District Attorney Jerome for the gubernatorial nomination, he said: "In an interview cabled from Paris I expressed the opinion that Jerome was not only one of the strongest candidates In the Democracy, but one of the most picturesque and strongest figures now before the people. Since I delivered that opinion I have been on the sea, so can form no opinion as to the present condition of affairs, but I have so far heard nothing that would alter that opinion." On municipal ownership he had this to say: "So far as I have been able to Judge, municipal ownership as it applies to street locomotion is by no means a success in continental cities. In nearly all those places visited by us in Ger many and France the street tramway system was a failure, or nearly so." NEW SUITE FOB CABINET MOODY SOOJT TO ADVANCE TO Sl'PHEME BENCH.

ASHION HAS MORE TROUBLE Suspends Binder Who Denounced New Printing Office Rule. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. The Govern ment Printing Office received another shake-up today, when Ashlon, acting foreman of the bindery, suspended Jacob Hale, a bookbinder and prominent officer of the International Brotherhood of Book binders. It was declared at the printery that dissatisfaction had been found with some of Hale's work. Friends of Hale, how ever, asserted that his suspension was due to a vigorous address made by him last night at a meeting of members of the Bookbinders' Union who are employes of the Government Printing Office, in which they discussed the recent order of the Public Printer requiring binders to produce a greater output ot work. AXIL-IKE DYES ARE BARRED Wilson's Order Against Poison AnJ gers the Candy Men. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. (Special.)

He says that over a-score of years ago Congress passed a Joint resolution, which became a law, recog nizing Webster's unabridged dictionary as the standard for Government spell ing, and that a Supreme Court decision afterward affirmed the act. The records are now being examined. Oil Bothers Warship Engines. WASHINGTON, Sept 8. The Louisiana, designated as the "most modern battle ship," which is now undergoing her "shaking-down" process, has been obliged to steam slowly because oil gets into the boilers and causes trouble. This condition of affairs has afflicted a number Of other vessels, and alterations have been made 'in the machinery to obviate the difficulty.

TO WITHSTAND LYNCHERS Hot Blooded Hondurians Enraged at the Report of Yellow Fever on . Steamer, Threaten Death. Uncle Sam's Warning. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8.-(Speclal. For three weeks a number of the most prominent Americans in Spanish Hon duras with loaded rifles have been stand ing guard day and night over the Ameri can consulate in Ceiba, according to ad vices received here from returning Amer icans. Dr. Robinson, representative of the United States Marine Hospital Corps, gave a diagnosis of a number of suspi cious cases of fever which was unsatis factory to the residents and which re sulted in the quarantine restrictions be ing so tightened that It was almost im possible to leave the city. Dr. Reynolds, the acting Consul, has taken a strong stand in the matter and, after laying in ammunition, announced that if more than five men at one time attempted to pass ehe consulate they would be fired upon. Found Yellow Fever on Steamer. It Is said the trouble was brought about through Dr. Robinson's refusing to give the British steamship Joseph Vaccaro, of the Vaccaro line of New Orleans, a clean bill of health. He declared on the ship's papers that there existed three cases of suspicious fever, which he sub sequently diagnosed as yellow fever. The Government officials and other natives threatened to kill Dr. Robinson if he did not change his diagnosis. The native Board of Health pronounced the cases malaria and denounced him for ruining Ceiba' s commercial relations with the United States. Mr. Woods, the American Consul at Ceiba, is at Washington on his vacation and Dr. Robinson appealed to Dr. Rey nolds, the acting Consul, for protection. The latter communicated with the com mandant, who sarcastically informed Dr. Reynolds that he could not guarantee that Dr. Robinson would not be attacked by the natives, who publicly announced their intention of lynching the American physician. The relations between the Americans headed by Dr. Reynolds and the natives under the leadership of the commandant were strained and they were about to declare war against each other. Americans Guard Consulate. Dr. Reynolds appealed to the Ameri cans living at Ceiba to assemble in the consulate. Every one responded with his rifle. Several thousand rounds of am munition were quickly stored in the con sulate and everything made ready to re sist an attack. The Americans took turns in patrolling the consulate and, when their time expired, went home heavily armed. The wives of the Amer icans were also armed and given posi tive instructions to shoot at the first provocation. Eagle Screams Warning. Dr. Reynolds informed the State De partment at Washington of the conditions at Ceiba. The Honduras Government asked at once his recall on the ground that the Ceiba officials could not protect him and a curt note was sent -to Presi dent Bonilla informing him that the United States would hold his Government responsible for Dr. Reynolds' life. NOT ON PARTY LINES (Continued From Page 1.) question, but up to this time there is no indication that such a bolt will oc cur. Voters of Idaho Intelligent. It Is true, feeling runs high in Idaho; the people are on the qui vive, and It is possible that the campaign may develop something not now foreseen that will change the trend of events and result in the election of a slate not now looked for. Careful study of the situation as it exists at the present time leads to the conclusion that Gooding will be re-elected TOILER WHO HAS HELPED WEST. f). D. Walcott. Director Walcott, of the Geolog- , ical Survey, has done much good work in his department. His ad dress at the National - Irrigation Congress at Boise on ' "Relation of Government Reclamation Work to Private Enterprise" brought out a , fund of information that proved very instructive. Governor, possibly by a reduced major ity, and that Borah will 'succeed Dubois in the Senate. The people of Idaho are a proud. Intel ligent class; they hold sacred the good name of their Btate, and It would be most surprising if they should permit their Governor to go down to defeat simply and solely because he Insists that the men Indicted for the murder of a former Governor of the State shall be brought before the bar of Justice to answer for the crime. Gooding is doing no more than ' any other fair, fearless man would do under the circumstances, ancl he is highly FT J . - ' ' 'n n ' ' 1 lng. It is not untrue to say that he , has placed his life in danger by reason of his attitude in this labor. crisis. Good- lng knows that the eyes of the Nation are upon him and upon the state, and at ARM xae fakki si nis own uie ne nas .aeier mined that the good name of Idaho shall not be stained. The best element in Idaho is solidly with him. " Borah Has Strang Backing. ' The campaign Is now on; the fight will be waged In every section of the state, and each party or each candidate is using the issues which It considers most apt to make votes. As stated above, the Republicans are ignoring the Mor mon question, and the Democrats, while glad to get the votes of the union la bor men, are profoundly silent as to the labor question. The Republicans sidestep Mormonlsm; the Democrats side step the law and order Issue. While this game is going on, William E. Borah is moving ahead fearlessly, and stands to benefit both from the Dubois attack upon the Mormons and from the labor men as well. Though Borah Is to appear as one ot the leading attorneys against the suspected murderers of Steunenberg, he still has the support of the laboring men, as he has always had, and It would take an upheaval of unus ual proportions to prevent his election to the Senate. DWELLS ON PROSPERITY TEXTBOOK ISSUED BV REPUBLI CAN COMMITTEE. Tariff GlvCn Credit for Nation's Prog ress With Staggering- Figures to Back Up Argument. NEW YORK, Sept. 8. (Special.) "Roosevelt and Prosperity" is the key note of the Republican Congressional textbook Issued today by Chairman Sherman of the Congressional Cam paign Committee and which Is Intended as a pocket com panion and guide for the spell binders. The doings of President Roosevelt and the record of prosperity under the Republican administration ran a close race for supremacy in the pages of the new book. They alter nate, first, a dozen pages devoted to the President and his speeches and then a record of prosperity for the past few years which is directly at tributed to this cause. The book de clares: Protectionists ars content to let the pres ent law stand, -without change or amend ment, ao long as present conditions prevail. When there Is a substantial surplus of rev enue: when there is a balance of trade ex ceeding 500,000,000; when every man and woman in the country who wants to work and who is worthy of it can And employ ment at high wages; when we are able to absorb a million immigrants a year without displacing any home labor, when our bank clearings exceed annually $150,000,000,000, three times amount attained in 1S&6 under the Wilson-Gorman tariff, then it. is that protectionists say let well enough alone and leave revision until such a time as the con dition of our finances, commerce and indus try demand. A slight reduction in many of our sched ules would result in the dumping Into our markets of perhaps a billion dollars' worth of manufactures annually more than we now Import. That would mean a resort to one of two things we would have to close our mills or Teduce our wages. The book is chock full of statistics about trade, wages, foreign trade, etc. Pages are taken up with staggering figures, all attributed to the benefi cence of the tariff. Uncle Joe Cannon Is one of the chief contributors to the volume. . Several of w. J. Bryan's utterances are printed as horrible examples of what might be expected if the Demo crats gain control. YIP TIN SAYS CHINESE MONEY KING OPPOSES COOLIE IMMIGRATION. Bis Countrymen Not Anxious to Help Dig- Panama Canal Under Ex isting Restrictions. NEW" YORK. Sept. 8. (Special.) Charles Yip Tin, the Pierpont Morgan of China, is in this country investigat ing the operation of the American lail road systems. He ' is an Americanized Chinaman, who is a financial and politi cal power in China, having reoou.iv been created a Taotal by the Emperor. Speaking of the plan to build the Pan ama canal with Coolie labor, he said today: "It Is easy for your President to say the solution of the labor problem on the Panama canal may be met by the Importation of Chinese cojl.es. It is quite another matter '.o get coolies in any great number t3 work on your great enterprise undr the conilrions named. Neither my government nor my people are anxioiys to furtner this worn. The government realizes that tho coo lies would not receive the same consid eration shown the laborer of other na tionalities and the common people themselves have become thoroughly conversant with all the details of your exclusion laws, of the climatic r-erily of Panama and of the bonding scheme af fecting coolie laborers on the canal. I think. I can sum up their feelings best by saying they will not help buy J10. 000 worth of American prosperity at the expense of Jl worth of Chinese labor and suffering. "If the United States must have a borers' lives to sacrifice why not em ploy a few of the thousands of other foreigners who are admitted to your country at this port every year? We know the value of our labor and intend to keep-it at home as muci as possible.'" BANK RESERVE DEPLETED New York National Concerns Lend Out Their Safety Funds. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.

PRY INTO HIS HOLDINGS Vice-President Farrington Swears Great Northern ' Owns No Iron Mines but That Hill's Money Is Represented, MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 8. (Special.) When James J. Hill appears on the wit ness stand at the coal-rate hearing, which begins September 21 at the of fices of the railroad company in the capital, it is likely he will find him self called upon to tell more about him self and his Great Northern Railroad than pertains to the price of carrying coal from the head of the lakes to points on the Milwaukee Railroad. Ed ward T. Young, Attorney-General, had an executive consultation with mem bers of the State Railroad Commission on the subject of Mr. Hill, his Great Northern Railroad and his Northern Minnesota iron mines and their rela tion to the new Federal law governing railroads. One of the important sections .of the new law is that in which common own ership of mines and railroads carrying ore from such mines is prohibited. In recent years the rumor had got about that James J. Hill is second only to the great steel trust In ownership of Min nesota Iron ore deposits. Saturday Railroad Commissioner C. F. Staples and Mr. Young reviewed the testimony given in the recent rate hearings by R. I. Farrington, second vice-president of the Great Northern. There Mr. Farring ton freely testified that in acquiring its Northern roads the Great Northern had to purchase therewith large iron ore properties and that to make such extensive purchases Mr. Hill used his personal credit in the Eastern money markets. At another point in the evidence Mr. Farrington testified under oath that the Great Northern does not own any iron mines. He admitted, however, that for development of the property in the state Mr. Hill has advanced money; also that, when the Hill iron holdings hav been sold, it has always been part of the contract that all the ore should be carried over Great Northern lines. The question to bo decided by the authorities seems to be whether the new Federal law Is violated by the per sonal holdings of Mr. Hill In iron properties and at the same time a con trolling interest In the Great Northern Railroad. COMING NEARER TOGETHER Progress Toward Lease of Ore Lands to Steel Trust. NEW YORK, Sept. 8. The receipt of the decision handed down yesterday by the Supreme Court of Minnesota In the Virginia Sliver mine, which is regarded as definitely establishing the rights of the Great Northern Railway in the Jease of certain ore lands from the state, caused a report In Wall street today that tho long-delayed agreement between the Great Northern and the United States Steel Cor poration for the lease and operation of the so-called Hill mines in the Lake Su perior district was soon to be announced. The court decision removes one of the obstacles to the proposed agreement for the constitutionality of the law under which the Great Northern had secured leaseholds. The negotiations of the Hill ore hold ings have been pending for nearly three years, and several times have been re ported near a conclusion. To guard against the properties being held Idle by the steel corporation, the Great Northern has contended for a lease based upon the payment of royalty on each ton of ore mined, with a minimum output to be agreed upon. The Hill lands are claimed to be second in value only to those of the Flower Iron Mining Company. Most of the Hill holdings are as yet unexplored and it is said .that any estimates as to their value are mere guesses. The financial district is somewhat puz zled as to just what the deal between the Great Northern and the steel corpora tion will mean when consummated. The annual royalties and profits to the Great Northern from the haul to the Duluth and Superior docks cannot be estimated. In case the steel corporation should not see fit to work the mines to the extent agreed upon, it would be compelled, un der the terms offered, to pay to the rail road company an amount equal to the royalties on the minimum yearly output. This minimum is variously estimated at from 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 gross tons per year. THROW BOMB INTO CAR Lettish Reds Cause Terrible Slaugh ter at Riga. RIGA, Sept. 8. Three policemen were Injured, one fatally, today by a bomb thrown at a street railway car.
