COLUMIIUS, O., Jnn. 3. On tho evo of
tho republican caucus the so-called
Forakcr-Hnmia contest over tho organiza
tion of tho Ohio leglslnturo Is an open bat
tle, with nclthor' I'rlco nor McKlnnon ns
lurod of thu thirty-flvo votes for the repub
lican nomination for speaker of tho house.
While McKlnnon and Price. arc claiming
thlrty-scvop vdtos each) their managers,
who "keep "books," uro more, conservative.
Congressman Ulclt, who Is director general
for McKlnnon. nnd tho Hanna faction, said'
"Wo gnlno! two lit tho' declarations of
Hinckley, of Terry and Kleher of Medina
today and we want n couple more."
The I'rlc.o . inen concede McKlnnon only
twenty-nlnb of. -what aro called first, laot
pnd all tho time men. Ilut cbnscrvatlvo on
lookers say "that each bar thirty-three jit
that class nnd that each needs at least two
Wore.
Oeorgo U. Cox, who Is tho director gen
eral for Price, hnld tonight:
"Thero aro stjU sevep doubtful republican
representatives. Wo meed two or three of
them, and the others four or five."
AVnrUliiK I, Ike TroJiin.
While Dick, Cox and others aro after re
cruits, their llqutennnts nre having lively
times In holding their men In line. Mem
bers on both sides aro accompanied by
friends wherovnr thoy go,' even to their
meals and .to bed. Tucro aro sentinels
nbout tho botuln nnd at the depot to seo
that nono set away or into strange com
pany. Koprescntatlvo Willis turned on his
ottcart today and publicly denounced tho
"organized csplonngo on both sides."
Ho afterward attempted to start a movo-
mcnt to drop both i'rlco and McKlnnon and
to tako up a new -man for speaker. Whllo
every possible effort- Is being made tonight
to secure the few remaining doubtful mem
bers, It Is evident that tho most untiring
efforts nro being mado by both aides to hold
their own.
While both Ohio senators havo become
indirectly Involved In 'the contest through
the direct Intorests of their respective fol
lowers. It dnvcl6pcd today that tho lines
nro not strictly drawn between their
frionds. Many raembars concur with
George D. Cox ot Cincinnati In stating that
this fight Is not one for the supremacy of
olthor Korakcr or Hanna In Ohio and that
they nro on equally cordial rclntlons with
both senators. 8omo of Hanna's closest
friends nro for Price nnd some of Fornker's
for McKlnnon for Bpeakcr, for personal,
local or other than factional reasons.
Tho lines are much more distinctly drawn
between what arc known ns tho Cox men
nnd tho Dougherty men. Two years ago
ox-Hoprescntatlvo Harry M. 'Dougherty was
dofented for tho gubernatorial nomination
by Governor Nosh. In that contest Cox
threw his whole strength to Nash, ns ho Is
now doing for Price. McKlnnon was
Dougherty man .then nnd a leader In tho
last legislature, which was controlled In Us
organization by tho Daugherty men.
llmlly TatiKlcd.
Cox, who was then supporting Price for
poakor, tsuys he was pledged to him beforo
the present complications arose'. Whllo
Cox Is friendly with both senators, Daugh
erty is an nvowed opponent of both, nnd
tho locnl feature of tho contest Is the fnct
that Hanna and Daugherty are for tho
inmo man for speaker. Tho entanglement
goes fetlll further with somo in talking
about Koraker nnd Cox being for the same
man for speaker. And tho crossing of
wires extends to ox-Governor Foster, ex
Governor Dushnell. cjc-State Chairman
Kurtz nnd othors, who nro now oo-opcrot
ng with tboso from whom they aro said to
havo been ostrangen in loto years.
Ignoring tho Dougherty clqment entirely
Cox enodavored originally to havo an agree
ment among tho leaders and found no op
position to I'rlco for speaker. After Cox
bod commltteod himself, ho says tho Hanna
men said Prlco would not do. Referring
to his original canvassing and the present
complications, Cox" said ho found Senator
Foraker nt first friendly to McKlnnon, ai
though not pledged, nnd Senntor Hanna
favorablo to Trice, and ut tho time that ho
committed himself both of tho senators ap
proved of Price for speaker. Mr. Cox In
sluts that tho present entanglements nro
temporary only nnd will have no bearing
on futuro politics In the state.
lliiiinn "1 Foniliir AwnUe.
Whllo many conferences at the various
auartura nro being held tonight, all work
ers report to either Dick or Cox. Among
tho congressmen horo in theso final con
foroncfs are Iloldlcr of Clevoluud, Tomp
kins of Columbus, Kylo of Troy and Dick
of Akron,
Conxrosanum Dick today renowed tho
fight In the senato for W. E. Uhl of Clevo
Isnd for chlof olerk nnd Is working for
other places In tho sennto, nlthoiiBh th
contests In tho senato npd for minor places
In tho houso aro nlmost lost lu tho efforts
to namo tho speaker.
Senators Fornkor and Hanna both ro
main continuously In touch by long-dlstanco
telephones wlh their friends here. Whllo
Forakor will havo no opposition for tho
republican nomination for senator, tho
names of Hon. Charles W. linker of Cin
cinnati and Judge A. W. Patrick of Now
Philadelphia will both bo. presented for tho
democratic nonilnntlou for Bcnator, with
tho odds In favor of linker.
Somo ofMho conferences lasted till after
midnight, whou It wns fouud that a strong
tldo had set in during tho night for Mc
Klnnon, whoso managers claimed forty of
tho sixty-eight votes. Whllo theso figures
Tfuro disputed by tho Prlco men, most of
the latter no lougor claimed the nomina
tion. During tho night Kimball, Christ,
Dlncke, Fisher and Nenl, five of tho doubt
ful ohqs, not only pledged thomsclves to
McKlnnon, but they nlso called on General

Soiiicirlint Ulnstlc.
Tho Board ot County Commissioners held
n Htar chamber session yesterday nfternoou
nnd debated tho franchise over tho county
roads asked for by tho Omaha Suburban
Rapid Transit company.
The proceedings wero conducted with tho
utmost secrecy, ns It was. feared that tho
board would bo enjoined If Its purposo bo
camo known. Tho company Is said to bo
backed by u group ot capitalists who aro
represented in Omaha by E. E. Howell,
James A. McShane, J. A. Schcnk nnd C. L.
West, who Is sccretury ot tho company.
Tho franchlso Is of tho blanket variety,
as It gives the company tho right to select
any rood It desires, but provides for tho
filing of surveys of tho proposed lines within
six months of tho granting of tho franchlso.
Work Is to bo commenced within a year of
that tlmo and at least fivo miles ot track Is
to bo completed within two years. The
power Is to bo furnished by overhead wires,
storage batteries or by steam locomotives.
All bridges used by the company, with the
oxcoptlon of thoso over tho Elkhorn river,
aro to bo maintained at tho company's ex
pense. At tho end ot tho franchise period of fifty
years tho county may purchase tho com
pany's property If desired. Tho prlco In
that event Is to bo fixed by a board of flvo
nrbltrntors, two to be chosen by tho county
board, two by tho company nnd tho fifth by
tho district court. The company must give
bond In tho sum of $30,000 to protect tho
county from damaga suits.
Commissioner Ostrom said: "I nm not
In favor of tho franchlso in Its orlglnnl
form. After Investigating the matter care
fully I suggested 11 number of changes that
should bo mado to protect tho county's In
terests moro fully, but even If they nro
mndo I am not certain that I will voto for
tho franchise. In my opinion tho franchise
first submitted, that of tho Elk City peo
plo, comes nearer to what such n frnnchlse
should bo than nny thnt havo been pre
sented since.
"At Friday nftornoon's conferenco with
tho representatives of tho now company
they intimated that some concessions might
bo made. I do not know what they nre,
as 1 left beforo tho closo of tho meeting,
leaving Commissioners Connolly, Hofcldt
and Hoctor still In conference."
Commissioner Harto was also consulted
by tho other members of tho board In
regard to tho matter, but, llko Commis
sioner Ostrom, he loft beforo tho conferenco
with tho representatives of tho company
came to nn end. His position In regard to
the matter Is similar to that hold by Mr,
Ostrom.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3. Tho troubles of the
Everett-Mooro syndicate did not como as
a surprlso to .Wall street bankers, says tho
Press. Dankers hero say that thoso Inter
csted are principally Investors and banks
throughout Michigan, Ohio nnd Indiana
nnd .that only indirectly will eastern finan
ciers feel tho effect of the paceage of the
trolley lines Into tho hands of bankers.
Interest coucons of somo ot the coniptv
nles In tho Everett-Mooro syndlcato were
paid in this cliv yesterday by Kean, Van
Cortlandt & Co., bankers ot this city. At
that offlco it was said that the firm's only
interest In tho syndicate was to act as
fiscal agent for aomo of tho companies
which tho syndlcato controlled; that It had
nono of tho securities.
The syndicate's attempt to build a lino
, parallel to tho Lako Shore, a part of tho
Now York Central system, from Cloveland
to Toledo, led to the rumor that tho Now
York Central mapagement inlendod to buy
out this opposition. It was asserted hero
however, that failuro to sell to tho Lako
Shoro caused tho financial difficulties ot the
Everett-Mooro syndicate managers.
Local Interest was aroueed by tho reports
from Cleveland, becauso Edward W. Moore

It was explained that the syndicate, directly

the bank's management bad considered him
as a man who probably would bring bus!

namo was added to tho directory a year ngo
this month. Ilut Mr. Mooro did nothing
moro than open a small personal accoun
'with tho bank. On account of his absence
from tho city he had even been unablo to at

lierof physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
onty an operation could help mc, and even that only temrmrarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearinK in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally In a New York paper, and ordered your treat,
