in New York Station
Sitting at Counter
NEW YORK, Aug. 4 -Governor Wood
row Wilson came to New York last night
for the first timo since he became the
presidential nominee on the democratic
ticket, but scarcely a half dozen persons
saw him.
After a busy day at Sea Girt the gov
ernor slipped away on a train to New
York,' followed by newspaper corres
pondents. Few persons recognized him
on the way and when he reached the
Pennsylvania station he walked Incon
spicuously to the lunch room, where he
sat perched on a high stool and obtained
over the counter a sandwich and a glass
of buttermilk. He was away In a few
minutes in a taxloab to a local hotel where
he met William F. McCombs, chairman
of the national democratic committee and
conferred with him for 'several , hours.
Tho exact naturo of the governor's In
formal visit at that ' time wasVnot di
vulged. The nominee himself :denfed re
ports of friction, but admitted' that- im
portant announcements of ' the campaign
plans would follow his 'Conference with
Mr. McCombs. - -
; Shortly before midnight Governor Wil
son and McCombs concluded their con
ference. The governor announced that
whllo a treasurer for the national com
rnittce'had been agreed upon his name
will be withheld for a day or two until It
could fee determined whether he would
accept. Henry Morgenthau, a weaJthy
real estate man of this city "will be chair
man of tho finance committee, the gov
ernor said, and Joseph E. Davles of Wis
consin secretary of the national campaign
committee, will be in charge at the Chi
cago headquarters.
SEA GIRT. N. J., Aug. S.-No matter
what any other candidate may do. Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson will not stump
the country in his campaign for the pres
idency and will Indulge In no personal
ities. The governor thus declared him
self today. He will follow a program of
scheduled addresses to be based on calls
from various states. His addresses will
treat of campaign subjects, not persons.
It was suggested that, perhaps, Mr.
Bryan might make a number of speeches
on behalf of the democratic nominee.
"Yes, I hope so," lie replied, "but there
has been no formal program arranged."

GOVERNMENT MUST RETURN
MONEY TO INSURANCE FIRM
TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 4.-Judgo Gross
filed an opinion In United States district
court today In the case of the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance company of New
ark against the United States government
In which he decided that the government
must return to the Insurance "company
$59,600.87 out of a. total of $61,853.98 paid
by the insurance company to the govern
ment under the federal statute Imposing
a tax upon the Income of corporations.
The question at issue was purely one
as to what constituted the net income
.of a mutual life insurance 'company. One
'of the principal items In dispute was so
called dividends. These dividends in the
main were made up of portions of pre
miums paid, by policyholders which were
In" excess of the amount needed to carry
the policies .during the year for, which
the premiums were paid, but which were
set aside to carry the policies when the
insured had become' older and a greater
risk to .the company, without any In-,
crease in the annual premium they were
obliged to carry. . . .
THINKS BULL MOOSE PREYS
ONLY ON SOFT; MUSHY THINGS
WASHINGTON, Aug. -Representative
Mondell of Wyoming introduced a bill
today to appropriate $200,000 ' for the
United States to pay its .share of the
cost of exterminating the "predatory wild
animals" on the forest reserves of the
west.
"Aro you after the bull moose?" lie was
asked.
"No, the bull moose is not a wild or
predatory animal. He only preys on
soft, mushy things in his native lair, and
we do not have such things In our coun
try,", answered Mr. Mondell.
The Wyoming representative explained
that his bill was gunning for timber
wolves, coyotes, mountain Hons and other
wild creatures that kill off sheep. Some
states pay. bounty for their , pelts now
and Mr. Mondell wants the government
to pay its proportion of . the, cost

NEW YORK, Aug. 4. The revelations
of the Rosenthal murder case, pointing
to the existence of a system of police
blnckmuli levied upon Illegal resorts.
prompted a number of leading citizens
to issue a call today for a public mass
meeting at Cooper L'nlon next week to
adopt plans "to make effective the pub
lic demand for the observance of law and
order In this city."
The signers of the call are Jacob H.
Schiff, Eugenlus II. Outerbrldge, Eugene
A. Phllbin, Henry. Moskowitz, Allen Rob
inson and Felix Adlcr. A number of
prominent women,, including Mrs. Rus
sell Sage and Mrs. E. H. Harriman, have
been asked to .become members of the
woman's auxiliary committee.
The call, sent out over the signatures
of this "citizens' committee" to a large
number of prominent men and womon in
all walks of life, says:
"The state of lawlessness now existing
in this city under cover of, which crimes
have been committed with Impunity and
criminals permitted to go unpunished,
has reached a point where public sentl- I
ment demands that the officials charged
with enforcing the laws for the protec
tion and well being of our citizens shall
perform the duties of the!r office In the
full .confidence that such performances
will have strong public support.
"It is proposed that a public meeting be
held at Cooper Union in the near future,
at which prominent speakers will be
heard and plans adopted to make effec
tive the public demand for the observance
of law and order in this city."
Plan Separate Iiiveattaratlon.
A popular subscription to provide funds
for an Investigation, and the employ
ment of. lawyers and detectives is In-
eluded, it is understood, in the plans of
the committee,
While Inspector 'Hughes was absent In
the Catsklll Mountains today directing

Jack", Rose, as having paid protection
money to the police were called to the
criminal court building and examined by
an assistant dlBtricV attorney. . The ex
act nature of the Information they had
to give was not revealed, but it was said
that as a result of tholr examination
further important evidence of police cor
ruption, would be .ready for tho grand
Jury when that body resumes its in
vestigation next week.
The' departure of Inspector Hughes for
the Catskllls led to reports that his de
tectives were close to their quarry and
the attitude at police headquarters to
date In regard to the capture of the men
was one of expectancy.
District Attorney Whitman Intends to
place Lieutenant Becker on trial during
the present month, according to authori
tative sources tonight,. Plans have been
made by the district attorney to prevent
any possible tampering with the tales
men. As soon us the panel is drawn
at least two private detectives will be
assigned to shadow each talesman to
prevent any one attempting, bribery or
intimidation. J. M. Sullivan, attorney for
"Jack" Rose, who with "Bridge" Webber,
has charged that Lieutenant Becker in
stigated the murder of Rosenthal, has
received two death threats. The sender
of the threats indicated that he had no
more use for the attorney of a "squealer"
than he had for the "squealer" himself.
Rose, Webber and Harry Vallon, the
threo gambler-prisoners profess to fear
their lives are "not worthy the pneo
of a button" If the gangmen get a chance
to, kill them for. their confession. Lest I
they be poisoned they, eat only food pre
pared by their own relatives. They ob
ject to being taken from their cells un
less strongly guarded.

Mllwauke round house for food. They
had nothing to give him and when the
man told them who o was, they let little
time elapse after Is departure In Inform

The sheriff was at Lake. Mnnawa and
the police took up the hunt. Night Cap

Bjeovic says ho threw his revolver into
a creek. When captured, he was un
armed. He made no pretense of hiding
his identity and when he appealed far

he was and thus was the cause of his
own capture.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4 Chicago street car
men favor a strlkn by a vote of 8,B:i9 to

granted.
The result of the vote of the men in

the various local unions held a meeting,
at which the situation was discussed. At
this meeting two conferences for Monday

made to settle the dispute peaceably.
The strike vote is not taken as a pros

for an arbitration board, one member to
be chosen by each side and a third mem
ber by the first two.

Parties May Join
to Guard Selves
Against "Moosers"
Republicans are talking of the fcurprlxe
that may be In store for the bull mooHoni J
when the annual ran registration runs
around. They insist that they will sec
to It that tho registrars 0: voters pro
tect the personnel of the two great
parties and compel bull moosers to reg
ister as affiliated with the national pro
gressive party or whatever name the
Roosevelt party Is to take. It Is said
tnat the republicans and tho democrats
are ,lk(;y t0 rit8 ln protecting their
future primaries from being "packed" by
tho "national progressives."
Those who are cinrussmg this matter
hold that since Roosevelt has Kent forth
tho edict that his followers must for
swear allegiance to their old parties if
they wish to cot under the banner of
j his new party, ft follows that theso
voters must not register as still being
affiliated with one or tile other of the old
parties'. Support of the national ticket,
they hold, Is the test of allegiance to a
party and should govern the reglsira
tion.

WASHINGTON. Aug. i.-Congress will
begin tomorow what Is expected to bo
the last fortnight of the present Beaslon.
Adjournment by August 15 or 17. Is con
fidently expected. The postponement of
the Archhald impeachment trial until
December 3 has cleared the decks ot the

lative matters can be pushed to a speedy
finish. , ---'T'-

some of the appropriation bills that are
still tai sue between Uie senate and the
house. Tho determination to abolish the
commerce court and to place a aeven-year
tenure of, office in the civil service law,
has aroused much antagonism which may
be reflected from the Whlto House in a
veto of tho bill appropriating moneyy for
the sular of federal employes.
This contingency has been anticipated
by the leaders of both houses and an
effort is to bo made Monday to complete
the leglslHtive-executlvo-Judlclal appro
priation bill so it may bo sent at once
to the president. In case of an executive
veto it Is believed It can again bo con
sidered, passed and resubmitted to him
in amended form without seriously delay.
Ing plans 'for adjournment.
Action on tariff bills and a reopening of
the two battleship fights in the house
will bo features of this weeks session.
The senate will act on the compromise

ably agree to it aa the house has done.

on the excise lax bill Monday or Tuosdiy
is expected to lesult In nn agreement
that will send that measure also to Presi
dent Taft during the wpek.
, It has been assorted by tho president's
friends in both houses that he will veto
I all of the tariff bills that reach him.
I Such action would be accepted as final
by conifrcfiR and no attempt would bo
made at tills session to repass tho meas
urer. The cliiiiocrats of the house will take
up the battleship question In caucus
again Tuesday. The leaders in tho fight

to ope ship the senate Is expected' to, ac
cept the compromise, although It want
two.
' Many of the most important appropria
tion bills remain to be completed and
the menute has not yet completed half of
the expected debate on the Panama canal
administration bill. Both houses will be
Kin dally sessions at 10 o'clock this weok

for seats In the convention and had do- '
elded one. In that one twelve negroes, '
contesting the seats of twelve white
delegates from Alabama, were ruled out. '
A bitter dispute over the negro-white
delegate question In tne state of Florida
was the cause of the late adjournment
after an animated argument that several
times forced the committee to turn out
the contestants and the newspaper men,
and go Into executive sessions that were
fraucht with wnrdv butting. Thrniivhnnr
the day the committee several times bar
red the doors and went into star cham
ber session, whllo a few "dejected negro
contestants, and weary newspaper men
waited In the hotel corridor outside the
committee room.
The Florida contest resulted from t'.ie
sending of separate delegations by white
and negro conventions. The former sent

This doctrine aroused Considerable op- '
position among northetn member of tha '
committee and the argument ' prolonged
the session.' An attempt was made to
adjourn until tomorrow, but this was op
posed, several committeemen objecting to '
meeting on the Sabbath. Thereupon ad
Jotirnment was taken until Monday at 9
o'clock. By that time Colonel Roosevelt
himself may be on the scene.

inexperienced, rather diffident national
committee. The race question proved a
difficult matter, to adjust ln each of thj
contests which were , heard. Chairman
Dixon, who presided, labored mightily to
present anything llko an open quarrel and
succeeded. t
A score or more of negroes from Ala
bama, Mississippi end Florida besieged
the headquarters of the committee
throughout the day, arguing, pleading or
demanding. The debate during many f
the contests was heated, with negroes
and white men clamoring before tha
chairman's desk.
During the hour ot executive session'
that preceded the adjournment halt a
dozen negroes sat disconsolately on
chairs or on the floor outside the' door
of the committee room. When the com
mitteemen filed from the room, excited,
and perspiring, with the announcement
of the adjournment until Monday, One of
the dusky Florida contestants turned to
another and sadly exclaimed: 1
"Well, I guess we all might jest as well :
start foh home."
"What's that?" demanded the other.'
"You all a-gottln' cold feet already? No,
slree; I'm a-goln' to stay right heah."
The committee likewise .was tired of the
session.
