•onQueror of ex-Judge Herrlck In the fight for
Control of the Albany County organisation and

either Wr or against Hearst. Ho Is flirting with

Ag in Erie and Onelda, the Democratic ma

Hearst does not inspire enthusiasm or devotion.
tot the tide is running his way. Mr. Coats
«rortn. chairman of the Erie County organiza
tion, put Th ° situation in a nutshell when he said
to » Tribune correspondent a week ago:
•The Democratic masses want Hearst, and we
iVt going to ye them what they want."
jlr. CoatFworth formerly was the law partner
9f William F. Sheehan. He knows perfectly
trt'd that {riving them Hearst." as he put it.

jir»Me in th<» Democratic organization and ty
m up with much that is undesirable In the
arts of the. socialists, but following Hearst
Qjjjes the work of the leaders easier, and that is
irfcy Ooatssrorth and Mack are for Hearst. It
Is about the same way in Albany County. Me-
Calx-, irtth ambitions that reach far beyond the
control of the local machine, would like to see
the party shape its course so that in time it
irou'id elect a Governor. He knows what every
Republican county leader in the state knows.
that every Republican who joins the Hearst
movement this year will be a trouble maker for
the camp that welcomes him. driving out of
the Democratic camp a better soldier than hlra
ttlf. ■
Moreover, it is palling: to McCabe to see the
voters of Albany elect Republican and good gov
ernment n-.ayors. William Barnes. jr., the Re
publican leader, has outgeneralled McCabe at
every turn in the last few years, turning Demo
crat!" wards into Republican districts and play
tor Democratic factions against each other. Mc-
Cafee longs for the time when he can turn the
tables on Billy Barnes.
THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
When M -Cab* and his eleven delegates land in
Buffalo on the «lay of the Democratic State Con
vention they will hear the Hearst shouters.
listen to Hearst bands and have Hearst badges
pinned mi their coats, and the chances are that
they will be for Hearst, despite the warning of
tfce fare of Wolfert's Roost. It is all because
follow:"? Hearst is the line of least resistance.
A? for the Hearst organization in Albany, it
Trill wither like new mown hay under an August
run If McCabe goes over to Hearst. McCabe will
corr.f- home from Buffalo if Hearst gets the
Democratic nomination, and he'll say to the
Hearst men:
"We're it; chase yourselves before you get
hurt-"
Ar.d then the enthusiastic men who briefly
bore the Hearst banners will get back the drafts
■sawn on the Hearst safe deposit company, and
the:.* will be rubber stamped: "No funds."

So he told them in the papers to avoid the famous pre-digested food, for
it didn't give the stomach exercise, and from the lack of hard work it

Surely this is a "husky" one, this oats man. "Make the stomach

black walnuts with hulls on?
The trouble is that people eat too much, and of -indigestible food.
So the poor old stomach works as hard as it can and considerable over
time until it lies down like a tired horse.
Then it needs food easy to digest; give it a chance to recover. It is
good hard sense to go a bit easy with the stomach and, even in health,
before it gives out, use wisely selected food easy to digest. That's

"I could do It myself." said the doctor, after
attending the last New Year's reception given
by Governor Higgins.
But Dugan and the good doctor are not all.
There Is a formidable list of "antls"— men who
are against organizations until they are on the
payroll. Some of them are as follows:
Peter A. Delaney. former Democratic District
Attorney; Philip J. Ilenzel. former Democratic
candidate for City Controller; George Clapham.
former theatrical manager; Owen Malone, a
leading undertaker; Patrick J. Downey, national
organizer of th« Federation of Labor; M. A.

E. D. McMurray. retired United States Army
officer; John A. R. Kapps. former Democratic
alderman, and recently candidate for president
of the Common Council, and Omle DeGraff,

me new headquarters of the league are next
door to the headquarters of the Albany County
Democracy.
No startling development in the local Demo
cratic situation Is looked for until after the
Hearst state convention. While the enrolment
°l tn ® Independence League Is inconsiderable,
there Is a strong sentiment among the organized
labor men in favor of Hearst. This Is what
McCabe. the Democratic county leader, must
encounter. If he is to continue at the head of
the machine he has got to look sharp, because
the Herrirk men are ready to take advantage of
any mistake. The Herrick machine is nearly
out of commission, but it could be repaired.
McCabe is regarded by his Albany friends as a
coming man in state politics. He wants to be
state chairman, and he is working without the
assistance of Anthony N. Brady and ""Gene"
Wood, the men who helped him to break the
Herrick machine. McCabe's friends say that he
Is on good terms with Mr. Brady and Mr. Wood,
but that he does not like to be too friendly at
this time, as it may hurt him.
McCabe has been making a study of state
conditions for years, and knows every prominent
Democrat in the state. He was elected County
Clerk of Albany County in 189 S. and served
three years. He has been schooled In Hill pol
itics. His friends in Albany say that if he is
elected state chairman he will raise the money
to run the campaign. Murphy and McCarren
are his friends. Hearst has sent his confidential
men to see him two or three times. So far as
known he has not made any pledges. He is in
position to Jump either way.
CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN BUSY.
Chairman of Congressional Campaign Com
mittee Pleased with Political Outlook.
Congressman Sherman, chairman of the Con
gressional Campaign Committee, which opened
headquarters in the St. James Building on Tues
day, was busy at his desk yesterday, but he said
that he was doing merely routine work, catching
up with the correspondence before branching out
on the aggressive programme that has been
mapped out. The dollar subscriptions continue to
come in with every mail and the idea bids fair to
be a great success.
Congressman Sherman began the campaign in
an extremely hopeful frame of mind. He said:
The situation is most satisfactory. The country
is prosperous, crops are good, men are making
money in their business and wages are almost
universally eatlsfactory. Moreover, I don t think
the people of this country are in the temper to
overthrow the present conditions. They do not
care to take any chances and fly in the face or
prosperity the way they did a dozen years ago.
SEXTON NAMED IN CASDOZO'S PLACE.
Judiciary Nominators Will Circulate New

Lawrence B. Sexton, of the law firm of Wetmore

vacancies to fill the place on the ticket of the
Judiciary nominators left vacant by the death of
Michael H. Cardozo. As the latter's name was on

Mr Sexton was born in Cleveland on July 26. 1859.
He was graduated from Harvard in 1881 and from
Columbia I-aw School in 1887. In ISBS he berame a
member of the firm of Wetmore & Jenner. The
firm is well known, not only in patent and trade
mark law. but in general practice. Mr. Sexton is
an independent Democrat. He is an active mem

The Committee of Fifteen appointed by Dick S.
Ramsay, in Brooklyn, to select candidates for the
Supreme Court bench, will try to have an equal
re-preppiitation of both Republican and Democratic
parties on the bench In this district, and It Is
rumored that to this end they will nominate six
Democrat? and only two Republicans.
The committee thinks that the Republican party
is over represented !n the Judicial District of Long
Island. Justice Jayc-ox is likely to be re-elected,
and another Republican, who has not yet been de

HEARST XOT THE SLOG AX.
Southron to Lead to Victor//, Says
Virginia's Lieutenant Governor.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. 1
Norfolk. Va.. Aug. I.— "A Southern man for the
Democratic Presidential nomination in 19M" was
the slogan sounded to-day by P. Taylor Ellyson,
Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, who is the chair
man cf the State Democratic Committee and a
member of the National Democratic Committee.
Mr. Ellyson calls' on the Southern press to work
up a sentiment In favor of a Southern man for the
nomination. Speaking of William R. Hearst, Mr.
Ellyson said:
Even though he were elected Governor of New
Tork. I predict that he will never land the Demo
cratic nomination for President. I do not believe
that the people of this country want a man of Mr.
Hearst's type. Mr. Hearst, of course. Is a man of
great executive ability, but by hiring- food writers
he has managed to keep before the public through
his newspapers. The South should name a man tor
the Presidency. It has been forty-three years since
the Civil War and I believe to-day that the feel
ing against a Southern candidate will be no greater
in other sections of the country than the feeling the
West would have for a Northern man ort he North
for a Western man. The South has Presidential
timber and a Southern man can make as strong a
running as any man did in 19M.
COLEK BREAKS FKOM HEARST.
Says If Democrats Have Sense They Will
Nominate Justice Gaynor.
That Borough President Coler is against William
R. Hearst, with whom he ran last fall, is indicated
by the fact that he came out for the nomination
of Justice Gaynor for Governor yesterday. It was
significant as coming the day after it had been,
decided that Hearst would be nominated on an in
dependent ticket by the Independence League, and
particularly so in view of the fact that Borough
President Coler sent a telegram from his summer
home asking a friend to make his views public
The telegram was as follows:
Kindly quote me as saying that if the Demo
cratic party has sense it will nominate Justice Gay
nor upon a platform based upon this morning's
interview. It will unite the party, hold the radicals
in line and give such men as myself an opportunity
to support the ticket enthusiastically.
Hitherto Borough President Coler has been saying
that Hearst would be elected Governor, and has
gone bo far as to predict a large plurality for him.
"STANDARD OIL'S HISTORY ACCURSED. '
Justice Gaynor Talks of "Overgrown
Wealth, Got Withe ■.: '£ :nng."
In an interview printed in "The World" yester
day. Justice William J. Gaynor gave his opinion on
some of the questions of the day. He avoided a
direct reply when asked if he would accept the
nomination for Governor of New York on the
Democratic ticket. He said that it was wealth,
"overgrown wealth, got without earning it, by this
means and that, by trick and device, even though
all the while according to law, or enough so as to
keep from being indicted, or by the favor of govern
ment, which has now come to be under the ban of
the splendid intelligence and moral sense of the
people of this country. That a thing is done ac
cording to law. or that there i# no practice law for
bidding it, does not always relieve it from moral
odium.
He said the railways were just as much puhllo
highways for the use of all on equal terms as "our
dirt roads." The Standard Oil Company he de
clared to be the greatest monopoly in America,
saying that its history was accursed. He said the
street railways and the oil companies owned the
city, and that the street railways Instead of re
ducing fares for short distance riders as the
dividends grew too large to be permissible, "these
companies have kept on Increasing their paper
capital so that the dividend rate would be kept
down."
"And the most incredible thing in all this busi
ness," he continued, "is that the subway road,
wholly built with the clty f s money, is In this com
bination, and Its vast earnings are being declared
out in dividends on this vast accumulation of
paper capital, which represents nothing but a
means of perpetually extorting money from the
pockets of the many."
HAVES TAKES FOLLOWERS TO PICNIC.
Pocasset Club's Outing First Gun in District
Leadership Battle.
The Pocasset Club, the Tammany Club of the
28th (formerly the 38d) Assembly District, of which
Sheriff Nicholas J. Hayes is leader, held its annual
outing yesterday at Witiel's Park, at College Point.
About 4600 were in attendance.
There was more than the usual Interest in the
outing this year because of the fight that is to be
made by ex-Alderman Thomas F. McCaul to wrest
the leadership from Sheriff Hayes, at the primaries
next month.
The day at College Point was spent in athletic
and other games. On the return of the club at
night there was a parade through the district,
which was ablaze with lanterns, fireworks and
bonfires.
SPECULATORS CONTROL ICE SUPPLY
Not Anxious to Sell, but Are Holding for
Higher Pnce>.
From a further investigation made yesterday into
the ico situation in this city by a Tribune reporter
it was learned that the persons who control the
supply for New York this year, and, consequently,
the price, are the speculators in Maine and in the
upper part of this state.
The consumption of Ice in this city, which has
been Increasing every summer. It was said, will be
greater this y*ar than ever before, and with the
shortage of the supply It is probable that within a
few months these speculators who are holding
their supply will be able to dispose of it to dealers
at practically their own prices. This means that
the price of ice here is almost certain to go up
even higher.
Nor are the Independent dealers the only ones
who will be compelled to purchase from this supply;
the American Ice Company, or Ice Trust, will have
no advantage over the Independents. The latter,
notwithstanding that they control four-fifths of the
output of artificial ice— the trust controlling the
other fifth— cannot manufacture ice in Quantities
large enough to meet the demand. The Independent
Ice concerns ar* charging the same prices as the
trust, that is ?* cents a hundred to dealers, and 40
The manufacturing of ice. because of the great
cost of the machinery and maintenance expenses, is
not. it was said yesterday, as profitable an enter
prise an is generally believed. So not only is tn*
output not increased to meet the stringency, but
the ice manufacturers maintain the same capacity
and then have difficulty in meeting the present
prices Nor can they risk to store up a large »-ipply
on account of the possibility of a largo crop ..t ice,
which would mean a great loss to them.
In Maine last winter there whs a decidedly open
P-ason, and Instead of 1.0T0.000 tons of i^e called
for the plants housed only 600.000. The speculators
control 100.000 tons, and they show no anxiety to
F.-ll at this time. On the Hudson River there were
harvested 1.CT2.188 tons, of which the independents
and speculators received 990.175 tons, while 692,013
tons went to the Ice Trust.
CITY ANGRY AT BA? KS
Commission Wants List of Institutions Hold
ing Public Funds.
The Banking Commission of the city, consisting
of the Mayor, the Controller and the City Cham
berlain, held a meeting yesterday and adopted a
resolution that the City Chamberlain prepare a
list of all the banks which have deposits of the
city, and the amount of each deposit.
The city officials, especially the Controller, were
disappointed at the lack of bidding at the last sale
of city bonds, and they are determined that the
next eale shall have a plentiful supply of bids if
possible. One of the things that the officials did
not like was the failure of the local banks to bid
for the bonds, especially those holding city de
posits.

The Bronx had had a disagreement In reference
to an alleged request by the President for the
resignation of 11. H. Rcilly, the Register's private

Woman Thinks Husband Prisoner in
Alabama Turpentine Camp.
William Hochsteln. proprietor of the Interna

arraigned before United States Commissioner
Shields yesterday on a warrant charging him with
peonage.
The complaint was made by Annie Lipkowich. a
young married womnn of No. 29 Pitt stree*. who
avers that her husband. Philip, went to Hochsteln
on May 30 for employment, and was sent by him
on a ship to Alabama, where he was to be em

gomery. She has never heard from her husband,
she says, and fears he is a prisoner in some tur

8. S. Schwartz, the shipping agent of No. 133
Ist street and No. 283 Bowery, who was arrested
last week on a charge of peonage, was In court
when Hochsteln was arraigned for examination.
Commissioner Shields adjourned both cases until
September 22. that both sides might have time to
communicate with the South. Hochstein denies
any knowledge of the whereabouts of Lipkowich
further than that he sent him away to fill a place.
David Roberts, secretary of the Southern Immi
gration Society, called yesterday on Commissioner
Shields and denied that the alleged abuses existed.
He showed clippings from Southern papers denying
the alleged peonage said to exist In the lumber,
turpentine and pitch camps.
Mr. Roberts had just come from a meeting of the
Southern States Immigration Commission at No.

KILLED AN HOUR AFTER MAERIAGE
Bridegroom Shot by Brother of Woman He
Had Promised to Wed.
Raleigh. N. C. Aug. I— A special dispatch from
Charlotte, N. C, to "The Eveninp Tim^s" s»ays that

information that W. M. Brown, a bridegroom of
an hour, was shot and killed by John M. Kincaid
at the railway station there this morning.

The case of Mrs. Baagoe. who is the daughter of
General Chrlstensen. a Civil War officer, who for
merly lived in Brooklyn, but who died in Sweden
about a year ago. has been before the Massa
chusetts courts for some time. Originally she was
confined in a private Institution at Worcester. In
December. 1901. some of her relatives petitioned to
the courts for her release on the ground that she
was perfectly sane and that her incarceration was
illegal. After a preliminary hearing the court
granted the request of the woman's attorney that
she be removed to the Waverly Institution, and
this was done.
It is understood that Mrs. Baagoe will now live
with her mother in Brooklyn. It is said that the
woman was placed In the Worcester institution by
her husband.
General Christensen was formerly a partner of
J. Pierpont Morgan. Frederick Baagoe. the hus
band of the released woman, did not appear at to
day's hearing. He> is an analytical chemist and
pharmacist of New York City.

side, and Louis Jurgens. the former owner of the
house, on the other. Mr. Jurgens. who is a trustee
of the church, rented part of the Noble street house

the church. Mr. Jurgens. despite an alleged verbal
lease, sold the property. The purchaser and Mr.
Jurgens, who, was still the nominal owner of the

BOYS APPLAUD WHITE PLAGUE VIEWS
Cheer Yiddish Warnings Till Police Inter
fere in City Hall Park.
About three hundred small boys and a few score
..f passing Brooklynltes attended the open air
stereopticon lecture on tuberculosis in front of th«
City Hall. This Is the second of such lectures
planned by the Health Department.
The pictures alternated with warnings not to spit
upon the sidewalk or the parlor floor, warnings
against lack of ventilation and a too steady us*
of alcoholic beverages. The pictures showed the
interior of filthy tenement houses, damp cellars
and other frut'fui sources of infection.
Some of the warnings were in Yiddish, the crowd
always cheering the queer looking letters.
•Why shouldnt they? asked Mulligan, the park
•cop." "Shure they're all Eyetalians."
The youthful audience was clearly disappointed
at the lack of moving pictures. To show their dis
approbation most of them tried to get into the path
of the light from the lantern, throwing up their
hats or holding up their hands to cover the pict
ures. Thj police held them In check, and the exhi
bition went on for about half an hour.
