AS MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD
Mr. Zachau Accepts Challenge Issued by Brady O'Neill
and Says There is Not a Word of Truth in the Story
Told by the Latter Asks, Also, if it Were True,
Why O'Neill Has Never Thought Proper to Use it
Before.
The charge made by Brady O'Neill
at the Ashurst meeting Saturduy night
that during the thickest of the state
hood fight in Washington last August
Ralph Cameron was so drunk for four
duys that he was utterly oblivious of
vhat was going on and published in
an evening paper was repeated to Mr.
Cameron at Bisbeo last night
"In view of the fact that I don't
ilrink it seems hardly necessary for
me to deny that statement" was Mr.
Cameron's reply. "But if you think it
should be denied in face of O'Xeill's
challenge you may deny it and make
the deninl as strong as the newspaper-;
nill stand' for." I am not surprised at
any charge which O'Neill might make
In view of the fight he has made
against me all summer, but I am sur-'
prised that he would think that aj
charge of the kind, made the night be
fore election, would be believed.
"If you think a denial is abvisable
under the circumstances make it as
strong as you care to and see Mr.
Zachau (Cameron's secretary) and
others now in Phoenix who were in
AVashington during the statehood
fight."
Mr. Zachau was seen and dictated
the statement published below in
which he does not mince words in his
characterization of Mr. O'Neill'o
charge. Mr. Zachau said:
"An evening imier in its account of
the democratic meeting held Saturday
night reports Brady O'Neill as say
ing: 'He (Ralph Cameron') deserted
the case of Arizona right in the
thickest or the fight and got drunk
and remained in that condition four
days, utterly oblivious to the battle
being waged for the territory he mis
represented." O'Neill i.s also quoted as saying

Gotham Writers Will Act as Hosts
to Wisest Aggregation of

NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Stars of
the lit'ry league are' gathering in
Gotham today to talk shop, exchange
views on how best to make a report
of a ball game unintelligible to any
but a thirty-third degree fan, and
to have a good time generally. New
York sporting writers. including
Damon Runyan. "Old Grant" Rice, and
the best of the "h'ys." will act as
hosts and see that the visitors from
Chicago, Pittsburgh. St. Louis and
other' villages don't become lost in
the great city. Secretary William G.
Wcart of Philadelphia opened head
quurters today for the Baseball
Writers' Association of America,
which is the official title of the
organization of scribes. Regular and

MAYOR 6AYN0R POKES
FUN AT GOVERNORS
Humorously Declares He's In Favor
of the Recall And Also Equal
Suffrage.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. "I welcome
you sis representing a new order of
things in politics the referendum, re
call and woman's suffrage. If a judge
does not do right, I think he should
be recalled. As to women, I hope they
have not got away with you yet."
Thus Mayor Gaynor .poked fun and
applauded the energetic efforts of tlwi
west, in delivering his address of wel
come today to the governors from the
far west, whose special train bore
thein into the metropolis early today.
The mayor lauded the west and south
in the matter of anti-trust legislation
and condemned the laws of New Jes
sey, Pennsylvania ami Ohio, which
permits trusts to hold stock In other;
corporations. He remarked New York j
has an anti-trust law "a full of ad-
jeetives that it Is of no use."

'move he made and every place he vis
ited during those four days. Let Cam
eron or his secretary tell me this is
untrue and see how quickly I can
prove it.'
"I am Mr. Cameron's secretary and
was with him in Washington during
the statehood fight and before it and
since and as closely associated with
him in that long drawn-out contest
as any- man jwssibly could be. Mr.
Cameron was not drunk at any time
while he was in congress; he was nev
er absent from his ipost of duty in his
seat in congress or in his office or at
some of the governmental departments
for a single day except Sunday; he
was never incapacitated: he was nev
er 'utterly oblivious of his surround
ings' but rather always alert and on
the job every minute as every man in
terested In statehood and who was in
Washington during the statehood fight
knows.
"I brand Brady O'Neill's charge
against Mr. Cameron as quoted by an
evening paper as a lie. deliberate and
malicious. I do this not because I
believe Mr. Cameron needs any de
fense against any charge made by Mr.
O Neill but rather because O'Neill
challenged me to deny his infamous
charge.
"Had Mr. O'Neill grounds for so se
rious a. charge as he at the eleventh
hour brings against Mr. Cameron he
would have brought it long ago as he
has fought Mr. Cameron with tongue
and pen ever since the ratified con
stitution reached Washington in March
3 last and those who know Mr. O'Neill
know that he would not have missed
sucli a golden opportunity to blast the
reputation of the man he has so men
daciously abused and so vindictively
pursued.
"His statement is absolutely false.

RUSSIAN CZAR IS
USING DISCRIMINAT
Testimony Shows Injustice was Done
Protestant and Catholic Church
men as Well as Jews.
WASHINGTON, Dec 11. Those who
appeared today before the house com
mittee on foreign affairs urging
abrogation of the 1S32 treaty between
the United States and Russia declared
the Czar's alleged discriminations
against Americans have not been con
fined to Jews alone but extended to
Catholic priests, protestaut ministers,
and American missionaries. Louis
Marshall. New York counsel for the
Jews, cited the case of Bishop Hoban
of Scranton, Pa., who, he said, was
denied a two day's sojourn in Russia,
although armed with a passport from
the state department. He said Oscar
Hammerstein, the American impres
sario. was not allowed to enter Russia
and engage talent. Jacob Schieff. the
New York banker, showed a letter
received from Eliliu Root, when the
latter was secretary of state, saying
no satisfaction could be obtained from
Russia. Oscar Straus, former ambas
sador to Turkey, and a member of
the Roosevelt cabinet, denied any per
sonal knowledge that American in
terests had influenced the state de
partment in treatment of the ques
tion. The committee will continue the
hearing tomorrow.

TAFT WON IN
President Dominated Com
mittee Whose Duty it
Will Be to Fix the Time
and Place for Holding the
Convention.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lL Hostilities
of an unexpected character from an
unlooked for quarter developed today
anong members of the republican
national committee and other prom
inent party leaders here in connec
tion with the meeting tomorrow to fix
the time and the uplace for the pres
idential nominating convention next
summer. The situation, however,
cleared considerably late in the even
ing, t tiie president's dinner to com
mitteemen there was no open dis
cussion of politics.
It became known immediately after
the dinner adjourned that Secretary
Hilles and other supporters of Pres
ident Taft had won a complete victory
am" that Col. New will undoubtedly
head the subcommittee on arrange
ments. It was n'so evident the Taft
forces would control the entire mem
bership of the sulcommittee. five
of which included, in addition to Col.
Ntw. National Committeemanu Mul
vane, of Kansas, Vorics of Ohio.
Murphyof New Jersey, and Williams
of Oregon. All these men are known
to be Trlendly to Taft. Committeeman
N. C. Duncan of Carolina, may be
added as the sixth member.
Not less interesting than the con
troversy over the subcommittee, in
charge of the convention, was the
open exploitation throughout the day
of Col. Roosevelt as a possible can
didate for the presidential nomination,
hoses their arguuents in his behalf on
the fact that at no time lias former
president announced he would not a
accept the nomination If it were at
tenderd race. It was recognized that
ho would not openly become a can
didate, they said, but they were busy
sounding members of the national
committee, they said, but were sound
ing members of the national commit
tee as to their sentiment in forcing a
nomination upon the colonel. Many
conducted an open advocacy of Roosc
vclts nomination when opposition to
naming a committee on arrangements
dominated by administration men.
Roosevelt enthusiasts frankly said
their hope lay In working up a de
mand for Col. Roosevelt in the con
vention Itself. The most sensational
feature of the days' skirmishing was
the fact that Secretary Hilles, who is
active leader of the Taft forces in
tht- competition for renominftlon. Post
master General Hitchcock, who man
aged President Taft's campaign three
years ago were seemingly arrayed
against each other. Finally Hitchcoek
ircucd a statement of denial but that
did not entirely set reports at rest.
Scuthren members met ostensibly to
take measures of protection against
any attempt by the next convention
to reduce their representation.

UP
Juror, Driven Frantic by
Appearance of His Child
ren in Court, Makes Sen
sational Escape from Cus
tody. SOME CLING TO
SUICIDE THEORY
Prosecutor Has Issued a
Statement in Which He
Intimates That the Oc
currence Was Arranged
By Defense.
KANSAS CITY, ec 11. A mis-trial
on the second hearing of Dr. B. Clark
Hyde, charged with having killed Col.
Thomas H. Swope seems probable to
night. Made desperate by the sight
of two of his children from whom he
has been separated six weeks. In the
court room last Saturday, Harry Wa'd
ron. one of the jurors, escaped from
the jurors' hotel quarters early today.
While Frank Jasper, deputy county
marshal slept on guard Waldron pried
open a nailed transom, crawled
through the opening, tiptoed to the
tire escape and leaped fifteen feet to
freedom. The entire city police force
and a dozen deputies and county mar
shal's oficers hav been searching for
him since his absence was noted near
daylight. If Waldron is not located
by tomorow night eleven jurors will
be discharged. Judge PorterfieM said
today. Or if the missing man is
found and cannot prove that he has
not discussed the case during his ab
sence the same action will be taken.
Should he return In good health and
svenr that he has mentioned the trial
to no one, and the court Is satisfied
with his story, the trial will proceed.
Iar that Waldron has killed himself
grows hourly. He was in a highly
agitated state when last seen Sunday
ni,;ht, as. he had been almost every
day since chosen as a juror. He ob
jected to serving when selected, say
ing ids dairy interests would not per
mit his absence. Later lie was taken
ill. and begged piteously for his wife,
and children. His wife wrote him
daily and lie seemed better contented.
Saturday his children came to see
him. He spied them in the court
room from his seat in the jury box.
He smiled and nodded to them and
when court adjourned lie grasped
tin in in ids arms and fondled them.
Some of the jurors were playing
games, others read in the hotel. Wald
ron sat alone pluying an old battered
violin. "Home. Sweet Home," his fav
orite. He played it over and over
again. Even if Waklron's escape
should result in a mis-trial, which
means a loss of thousands of dollars
to the county, no severe punishment
could be inflicted upon him. He is
in contempt of court but the maxim
um penulty is a fine of ?.r0 or ten
deys' jail sentence. Attorneys and
hur.dreds of spectators remained about
the courtroom all day anxiously walt
intr for the return of Waldron. Scores
of theories regarding his disappear
ance are offered, but tiie suggestion
of suicide is most generally accepted.
Officers think worry about his family
may have deranged him. Prosecutor
Conkling has issued a statement In
timating that Waldron was induced to
escape.

Officials of Erectors' Asso

New Revelations Have
Been Made as to Con

more of the officials of the Interna

tural Iron Workers had surrendered
voluntarily to the government infor
mation needed In the investigation of
the alleged nation-wide dynamiting
conspiracy against structural iron con
tractors who maintained the "open
shop," was made known tonight in
statement. by representatives of the
National Erector's association.
"No promise of immunity to men
suspected of complicity in the vlyna
inltlne consnirncv was made by tin
government,' declared Charles W. Mil
ler. United States district attorney.
"But of course we'll accept evidence
from any direction to be presented to
the grand jury wiien it resumes its
session next Thursday." Walter Drew,
counsel for the electors association re
gretted the status Investigation was
made public at this time. "We've made
every effort to keep this situation cov
ered up until the completion of the
grand jury's inquiry," he said. "I will
not comment on the attitude of the
officials of the iron workers associa
tion." "Members of the erectors' associa
tion suffered from a hundred explo
sions against property since the asso
ciation declared for the "open shop
since May, 130G" Drew added.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 11. In face
of an announcement by the erectors"
association represuntatlves, Herbert
S. Hock in, secretary of the Iron work
ers association, flatly denied tonight
that any papers had been taken from
his office. "The erection association
and the iron workers union are now
as antagonistic as they have been the
last five year.." lie said. "We ent
ered into negotiations with the erec
tors or the federal authorities" lie add
ed. "I am not .seeking immunity and
there Is no reason for me to come
through. Authorities can get any
thing from tills office through legal
means, but nothing lias been given
out or taken by force since the raid
on this office last April when John J.
McNamara was arrested and a mas.-
ol our records seized." Letters taken
from iron workers headquarters will
be used, it is said, in the federal grand
jury's inquiry into allegations that
groups of men in many cities were im
plicated with John J. and J. B. In dy
namite depredations. Detective Wm.

HERE IS A SAMPLE OF
Pitiable Plight of Democracy's Standard Bearers is
Shown by Silly Fabrications by Which Some of Their
Supporters Have Attempted to Discredit Men Who
Have Always Been Above Even a Hint of Suspicion.
An evening paper published last
night a dispatch addressed to Chair
man Birdno of the democratic state
central committee and signed by Le
roy A. Ladd, editor of G. Wj P.
Hunt's paper at Globe, to the effect
that Cleve W. Van Dyke, publisher of
the Globe Silver Belt, which has been
supporting the republican ticket, had
abandoned the fight as hopeless, had
denounced the republican candidates
and campaign managers and to cap
the climax became so drunk that his
friends tried to get him to a hotel,
as he had started upon a protracted
spree.
The disyatch was reoeated to the
Silver Belt and drew from Mr. Van
Dyke th following:
"GLOBE, Ariz., Dee. 11. Ladd's
story that I was or am drunk I.s un
true and absurd. I never was drunk
in my life, as all my friends know
and I am rather inclined toward the
other extreme. I am working heartily
for the success of the ticket here.
Gila county will roll up a good mo
jority for the republicans. The state
ment that I have quit the fight is
false In every particular. Ladd didn't
dare publish the story In his paper
here. The statement is a vicious false
hod and Indicates the desperate straits
the opposition finds themselves in.
"CLEVE W. VAN DYKE."
A message of similar tenor was re
ceived also from Joe Chisholm. the
editor of the Silver Belt, who added:
"Ladd's telegram to Chairman Bird

LOST TO THE WORLD
Each of Dynamiters Has Been Put to
Work at Jute Mill in San
Ouen-:n.
SAN QUENTIN. Dec. II. John J.
and James B. McNamara, their identity
lost under numetricals as convicts 25,
314 and 25,315 respectively bent their
freshly cropped heads and striped
backs over a jute mill in San Quentin
prison today. They began their pris
on labors as dutiful prisoners should,
although J. J. appeared to take less
interest in the prison scenes than did
his brother. J. J. may continue at
the jute mill indefinitely, while J. B.
may be given a lighter task if he be
found to be tubercular, for which he
will be examined in a few days.
The prisoners were aroused from
their first night's sleep in the prison
a. 6 o'clock this morning by a clang
ing bell in the corridor. At 6:45 they
became part of a serpentine-like line
formed by l.'JOO men in stripes and
marched to the mess hall. There they
tasted a prison breakfast of boiled
beans, cornmeal mush and coffee. The
jute mill opened for work at 7 A. M. J.
B. was the more cheerful of the two
and began to ipick up acquaintances
yesterday so as to obtain points on
prison discipline and routine. J. J.
devoted himself yesterday to a careful
study of the prison rules to which are
given all prisoners on entering the
prison and tills caused officials to say
evidently the men hope to act as mod
el prisoners with the view of reward
in the future.

CANARDS
eleventh hour canards published or
otherwise put afloat by Hunt's tools."
The publication of the charge
against Van Dyke, who is not a can
didate for any office, but who has
been, and is working for the success
of the repjublican ticket, was prob
ably done for the purpose of bolster
ing up the drooping spirits of the
Maricopa county democrats, who have
become desperate by their losses of
prestige during the past few days and
th.T certainty that they will lose the
conntv today.
It Is of a piece with the unwarrant
ed charge made by Brady O'Neill at
the Ashurst meeting Saturday night
and printed by an evening paper to
the effect that Ralph Cameron, dur
ing the crucial time of the statehood
fight in congress last August was so
drunk for four days as to be unable
to be In his seat in congress or in
his office in the congressional office
building.
Van Dyke is not a candidate but
Cameron is. Van Dyke Is a total ab
stainer and Cameron is very abstem
ious. The attacks on both were ma
licious, calculated In the one case to
injure the party as a whole by creat
ing the impression that one of the
most valiant fighters in the party
ranks had ouit; and in the other to
create a prejudice against the man
attacked. Both attacks will Tall flat
of couree and reference is made to
them simply for the purpose of show
ing to what depths the Hunts. Ash
ursts and O'Neills will descend with
the hope of securing a point.
REQUEST REFUSED
BY SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Gives Three Reasons Why
the Demand of Tobacco Men
Cannot be Granted.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. In refus
ing the request of the rough leaf to
bacco board of trade that it review the
decree of the United States circuit
court of New York which approved the
reorganization plan of the "tobacco
trust", three reasons were assigned
today by the supreme court of the
United States. The reasons were set
forth by Chief Justice White. One
who is not a .party to the record when
Judgment is entered is not entitled to '
appear therein the, court said. The
action of the" court below in refusing f
to permit the movers to become par-
ties to the record is not susceptible
of being reviewed by this court on ap
peal or indirectly under the circum
stances here disclosed by a writ man
damus in another part of the decision.
The character of interest which the
movers alleged they have. In papers
here filed. Is not in any event such a
character as to authorize them In this
proceeding to assail the action of the
court below, is another ground. A
bill was introduced today by Senator
Cummins, granting to independent to
bacco companies the right to appeal
to the supreme court of New York
from the decree approving the com
panys organization. The bill gives as
a reason for the review the vlesire tJ
ascrtain whether the circuit courts de
cree is in conformity with the supreme
court's decision in the tobacco case.
