PELHAM REPUBLICANS FOR HUGHES.
Resolutions approving the policies and adminis
tration of Governor Hushes and declaring that the
Jtepublican leaders in the Senate do not represent
the real sentiment of the Republican party were
adopted b> the Republican Town Committee of the
town of Felnaxn, Westchester County, at a meet
ingn g on. Sunday.
•The so-called ReimbHcan leaders in the Senate,"
say the resolutions, "do not in our judgment rep
tvoent the enlightened sentiment of the Republi
can party on the great political and social ques
tions of the day, and their action In obstructing
the plans of Governor Husrhes for placing the great
departments of his administration on a high plane
of efficiency does not meet with the approval of the
voters of this town, and we believe will not com
mend itself to th« rank and file of the party
throughout the state
The resolutions end with a call upon the other
Republican town organizations of the state to
"join In the demand that our legislators represent
us in fact as well as in nam<*, and support Gov
«rnor Hughes in his policies and administration.
AGAINST PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL.
Colonel Willia L. Ogden and William Berri. pro
prietor of -'The Brooklyn Htandard-Union," both
criticised the public utilities bill yesterday.
"A railroad." said Colonel Ogden. "is entitled to
Just as fair treatment as an individual. 1 am
heartily in favor of a pu£>llo utilities bill, but one
should not be passed that will hamper the railroad
companies in the dally operation of their lines nor
ehould the. measure contain unnecessary restric
tions that ■would deter financial Interests from ad
vancing the funds required for the normal exten
sion of the railroad eystema."
"The enforceme-nt of such an oppressive measure
ss the pnbMe utilities hill an It now stands would
hamper the railroads in their operation and man
agement." said Mr. Beni. "The railroads will
find it difficult under the drastic financial restric
tions! contained In the bill to obtain funds with
which to develop their lines so as to meet the con
stantly Increasing needs of the public. In fact, it
will b* ail they can do to provide for present fixed
charges l n the Bhape of interest on loans, etc It
hardly seems possible that the bill. If passed, can
Stay on the statute books long, for the effect will
be po serious that the public will demand a change."
UTILITIES BILL CHANGED.
Speaking last night fit a meeting of the West
End Association. John C. Coleman. chairman of
the legislative committee, said Governor Hughes,
the creator of the public utilities bllL would not be
able to recognise It because of the many amend
ments attached to It. "It now looks about as much
like the original bill as does a white child like a
black one," he said.
The pripclpal topic of discussion at the meeting
was the work done by the association for better
transit facilities in the city. Charles H. Studin
said the New York City Railway Company had
cut twenty mere cars on the Columbus aveiue line
because of the efforts of liie grievance committee.
He said the Mayor had refused to consider the
matter when the committee had gone to confer with
I.lrn about tbe improvement of pavements on the
upper West Side.

PAGE ASKS INQUIRY.
Resents Cohalan Charges at Time
of Kelsey Vote.
[By T»le«raph to The Trlhun*.l
Albany, May 6. — Rising to a question of personal
privilege. Senator Page to-night demanded an in
vestigation of his connection with the passage of
last year's mortgage tax law. In explaining his
vote on the Kelsey matter last week Senator Co
halan. of Tammany, delivered, a rabid denunciation
of Governor Hughes and several Senators, among
them Mr. Pago, whom he charged with passing
the mortgage tax repeal as the paid agent of the
Allied Real Estate Interests. Cohalan pictured
Page as "getting down on his knees and begging
Senator Grady for God's sake to help him to earn
the miserable fee he was to get from the Allied
Real Estate Interests."
"Much might be overlooked in tho heat of de
bate," said Benator Page after reading Cohalan's
words, "but It waa not even in the heat of debate
that the Senator made the charge that I was the
bribed agent of a well known corporation. When
a Senator co far forgets what is due to his position
as a member of this Senate, when he so far forgets
what Is due to himself as a man. some notice
should be taken of It. It Is not necessary for me,
who have sat in this circle for neaxly three years,
to state that the Imputation of his words is abso
lutely and unqualifiedly false. But It seems to me
some action should In? taken about it."
Benator Pagft moved that a committee of thrpo
Senators be appointed by the temporary president
to Investigate OohaJan's charge and report. Sen
ator Raines said that in the circumstances, re
ferring to Dean Huffcut's recent death, ho thought
It unwise to discuss ao important a question to
night, and moved that the resolution Ho on the
table. Senator Cohalan voted "No." Senator Co
halan, asked If he expected to retract what he
had said, declared that he certainly would not,
as he had only Bald that there was a rumor that
Page was acting as agent for the Allied Real Es
tate Interests.
Senator McCarren al6o had a question of privi
lege. His related to an editorial in "Th« World"
deploring Dean Huffcut's death and lamenting that
"Ratn*>ses find Oradys and McCarrens" were elect
ed to the legislature to increase the labors of men
like Dean Huffcut McCarren said h« failed to b?o
liow he could be held responsible for the suicide,
nnd that In his Church the suicide himself wan
held reprehensible.
Allan Robinson, president of th* Allied Rea!
Estat« Interests, said last night that he thought
Mr. Page had don« exactly the right thing and
that the Allied Real Estate Interests would be glad
to have a, minute examination made of their books.
"I have read of Mr. Cohalan's statement,"" he said,
"and it is needless for me to nay that If is absolute
ly false. I hope an Investigation of our books_ will
be made, and the 'rumor 1 traced to its source. '
PRESIDENT FIRES SHOT.
Presses Button That Opens Fest
of National Sehutzenbund.
Washington. May 6.— President Roosevelt opened
th* fpst of the National SohUtzenbund at Charles
ton, S. ("., this afternoon, by pressing a button at
the White House which electrically pulled the
trigger that fired three shots at a target at Charles
ton. As understood here, the President made a
score of 69 out of a possible 76. The White House
was connected by telephone with the grounds, and
with a receiver at his ear the President heard each
6hot distinctly.

greeting to the President over the telephone, to
which Mr. Roosevelt replied "Good luck to the
6chutzenfest." The first shot was flrrd about 2:34
o'clock, and the others at intervals of three min
utes.
A RED CROSS CRUSADE.
Society Fighting Indiscriminate Use
of Its Emblem.
The American National Red Cross, since the
passage of an act making the use of itß emblem,
the red cross, a criminal offence, has been carrying
on a crusade against violators of the law. Many
barber shops and laundries, which are the chief
offenders, the society says, are threat«ned with
criminal proceedings, and many arrests are ex
pected.
Mrs. J. V. Cameron, secretary of the state
branch of the society, at No. 800 Fifth avenue, said
yesterday: "Since the San Francisco disaster,
where the Red Cross did such good work,
thousands of business housea, societies juid organi
zations have adopted the insignia and are using It
publicly. Two-thirds of the barber shops and laun
dries In the city axe using the sign of the red cross
for trade and other purposes.
"Our agents report to us tile numerous violations,
and we at once send notice and a copy of the act
to the offenders. For the last year we have been
after one of the largest wholesale food manufact
urers in this city, who has been labelling his
products with the red cross. We won that fight by
hard work, and the factory will now, at a great
expense, discontinue the use of the cross.
"There is only oim business firm a wholesale
drug house, which has «ver been allowed to use
the emblem, but we expect in tims to have It dis
continue It also. There are many others who are
violating the act— for Instance the hospitals and
the medical corps of the Police Department. I
don't say that they are not doing good work, or
anything like that, but we consider that they are
violating the law. Jußt the same. W« hope that
In time ■we'll be able to have them discontinue It.
"The nurses and ambulance doctors," continued
Mrs. Cameron, "wear the cross on their sleeves,
th« police surgeons wear it on their sleeves, the
druggists us<» It, the food firms use it— ln fact. It
is used everywhere. It is a difficult problem to
enforce the law all over th» United States, but the
national body is hard at work. We aro after th*
chief offenders first, and as soon •as we conquer
them, we will take up the larger corporations.
The barber shops and the laundries have absolutely
no rlffht to use it. The latter think the red cross
stands for cleanliness, while the barber shops think
it stands for antiseptic.
"John J. Stern, rresid^nt of th» Barbers' Asso
ciation. In a recent «[>*ech at a mating promised
to ace that tho barbers remove the emblem from
their windows or poles. The cross 1« used only In
tlmo of war or In cas«» of a big calamity, llko the
Pan Francisco disaster."

NO CLEW TO COOKK.
Reports of Hit Arrest in Various
Places Arc Denied.
Reports were received yesterday from various
parts of the state telling of the arrest of Jere
Knode Cooke, the deposed rector of St. (leorge's
Church. Hempstead, Long Island. But they
were later contradicted, and uj> to a late hour
last night his whereabouts were still a mystery.
No trace has been found of Miss Floretta Wha
loy, the young Hempstead high school girl, who
disappeared at the same time as did the former
reotor.
A despatch from Paranac Lake yesterday
afternoon said that Mr. Cooke and Miss Whaley
had registered at a hotel there and that the.
latter had been arrested. Later ad vires were
that it had been a case of mistaken identity in
which the imagination of the excited upstaters
had been heightened by the arrival of two
Bt range men, believed to be detectives. An
other report paid they had been arrest rd at
Plattsburg. but this also was dnled.
The general opinion among the members of
the Hempstead Church yesterday was that the
missing couple was already in Canada, where
they had gone soon after they left Hempstead.
Verger Green, of St. George's, said yesterday
that Mr. Cboke had asked him a fortnight ago
many questions about Canada, knowing that he
was a native of the Dominion. Few persons in
Hempstead hope that Cooke. will be found, as
they think his arrest would only add to the dis
agreeable scandal surrounding the case.
All day yesterday men were busy In the
Hempstead rectory packing boxes and barrels, ho
that Mrs. Cooke may move to her parents' home
in Hartford. Conn. It Is expected that the wife
of the deposed rector will be able to leave
Hempstead within a couple of days.

Bishop Burgess's Secretary Says No
Hector Could Perform Ceremony.
Garden City, Long Inland, May 6. — Should
William EIHb Corey nnd Miss Mabelle Oilman
coma to Garden City on May 13 to be married, as
was reported they intended doing, they are likely
to experience considerable trouble in having the
ceremony performed. The secretary of Bishop
Burgess said to-day:
The wedding of such a coupl" would never oc
cur In the cathedral at Garden City, and no
clergyman In the Episcopal diocese would per
form such a ceremony where rlther of the par
ties had been divorced. I doubt very much
whether nny self-respecting minister could be
found on Long Island to marry such a couple.
It had b»en reported that Mr. Corey had en
gaged a suite of rooms at the Garden City Hotel.
Th* manager says he- knows nothing of it.
Miss Mabelle Oilman, accompanied by her
mother, braved the rain yesterday and took a
ride in Mr. Corey's automobile. They left the
Hotel Gotham about the middle of the after
noon, and an Miss Oilman came out of the hotel
pntrance she was Immediately th« target for
numerous cameras. She did not seem In the
least disturbed, and walking slowly to the wait-
Ing machine gavo the photographers a chance
to get their pictures. Sh« walked with a slight
itn.|i. showing that she has not entirely re-cov
ered from the fall from her horse while In
France.
Just as Miss QUman entered th« auto a small
boy came running from the Fifth avenue side
of the hotel crying out In ■ loud voice that a
man had fallen from one of the windows of the
Gotham. Every one rushed to the scene, with
the exception of the Oilman party, an.l found
that one of the house men of the hotel had gone
out on the window ledge to clean a window, and
that a careless maid had closed the window,
leaving him a prisoner on the ledge. He was
Immediately rescued, none th<» wors« for his ex
perltM
Miss Gtlman anil her mother did some shop
ping, and then drove to the uptown side of the
Sixth avenur elevated at f»Bth street. They
waited there for mmio time, and were Joined by
Mr. Corey and a younger man. who had come up
from the offices of the United States Ste.»l Cor
poration. Tho party was then driven back to

BIT OFF WIFE'S XOSE.
Goldman's Loving Way of Reclaim
ing Her Affections.
I^ouls Goldman tried a little while ago to effect
a recondl&tlon with his wife I^ena, who had gone
to live with her parents at No. 417 Pennsylvania
nvenue, East New York. Rhe did not want to b«
reconciled, no Goldman lay in wait for her yester
day afternoon and bit oft as much of her nose as
h«i could get between his teeth, bo that her beauty
might bn spoiled.
He told th» pottos later that he loved hia wife
so much that the idea of her getting a divorce
from liim and marrying any one else had preyed
on his mind. He thought that if he removed the
nose the divorce, would not help her any toward
RfttlnK another husband and that she would bo
glad to eOHM back to him.
Mrs. Goldman was going home yesterday after
noon and was In Blake avenue when her husband
apix-ared. He caught her in his arms and she
thought he was trying to kiss her. Ho struggled
with her v. moment, and «he shrieked once as his
teeth met in her nose. Th«n she fell In a faint.
Goldmun ran away, but waa aoon caught and
taken to the Liberty avenue station.
"I'm guilty." ho told Lieutenant McCormick. "I
don't care what you <io with mo."

HEAR MY WOOD MOTION
Decision To-morrow on Application
for Bill of Particulars.
Boise, Idaho, May •>.— Decision on the motion
of the defence for a bill of particulars in the
case of William I>. Haywood, charged with the
murder of former Governor Steunenberg. which
was argued before Judge Fremont Wood to
day, was postponed until Wednesday, the day
before the trial is scheduled to begin. By direc
tion of the court, Haywood was brought up
from the county Jail this forenoon to at
tend the hearing on the motion. Senator Borah
represented the atate and Messrs. Richardson
and Darrow the prisoner.
The motion for the bill of particular* recites
the absence of the defendants from Idaho at the
time the crime van committed, and that the
Indictments contain no Information to show the
overt acts by which the statft hopes to prove
the guilt of Haywood.
When Mr. Richardson had finished reading
the motion. Judpe Wood said: "You know, Mr.
Richardson, that our state has no statute pro
viding for a bill of particulars In such cases."
"I know that nuch is the case," replied Mr.
Richardson, "and I al3o know that the Supreme
Court of Idaho has hrd its attention directed to
the subject but once. Bach a motion, however,
as your honor well knows, always directs Itself
to the sound discretion of the court."
Mr. Richardson declared that the Indictment
did not charge either a specific, conspiracy or a
general conspiracy, and did not 6how whether It
was alleged that the defendants had conspired
to murder only Governor Steunenbergr or to
murder a number of persons. Tho defence, he
said, was therefore left In the dark.
Senator Borah paid that the defence was not
socking particulars of the indictment, but pos
eesslon of the evidence by which the State hoped
to prove its case. He explained that the charge
that Haywood waa at Caldwell when the mur
der waa committed was necessary under the
Idaho statute.
lie drow attention to the fact that there was
no provision in the Idaho statutes for granting
bills of particulars, and said further that neither
tho statutes of Idaho nor the decision of the
courts anywhere provided that the defendants hi
a case of this character were entitled to the de
tails of the evidence against them.
Clarence Darrow said that about all there was
to tho provision was that If the court thought it
W«S fair to have tho bill of particulars It could
grant it. It was purely a question of fairness and
Justice to the defendant. "Mr. Borah Bays we
do not want a better pleading, but that we are
after the evidence." eaid Mr. Darrow. "We are.
"Why not? Why are we not entitled to know
what the evidence will Bhow. that we may pre
pare to meet it?"
Mr. Darrow stated that the subpoenas for the
state had been issued in blank, and it had been
impossible for the defence to get the names of
witnesses. To this. Senator Borah replied that
it was true the subpeenaa had been Issued In
blank because had tho prosecution revealed the
names of their witnesses they would not have
been able to get them to the courthouse.
Mr. Darrow. after a discussion as to previous
opportunity for asking for a bill of particulars,
drew attention to the secrecy concerning th-»
subpoenaing of witnesses by the state. Mr.
Borah said that only in the last twenty-four
hours the state had lost two Important wit
nesses in Colorado. Tf the names of the wit
nesses were revealed the state would lose them.
He- said he knew his own heart, he was not
going to be unfair to the defendants, he waa
not thirsting for nor wanted any man's blood,
but there was a duty to be performed by tha
state and It was going to be performed.
Mr. Darrow said that if the remarks of Sen
ator Borah carried another insinuation as to the
defence and the state's witnesses, ha would say
the defence waa having the same difficulty about
securing the attendance of witnesses.
Judge Wood, after a recess, announced that
he would not decide the question of furnishing
the defence a bill of particulars until Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. Court then adjourned
for the day.
President Roosevelt's letter to the committee
of the New York labor unions, replying to their
request for evidence as to his reasons for calling
Haywood, Moyer and Petttbone "undeslrablo
citizens," was published here in "The Idaho
Statesman," and aroused no little comment.
Clarence Darrow read the letter tf» Haywood.
Moyer and Pettlbone this morning, and made a
statement later, in which he said: "I do not
ncfi what there is for the President to do. All
we have a right, or desire to ask either of him
or any other citizen is to leave the courts and
Juries to administer the law fairly and without
prejudice and without Influence from the out
aide world."

plete — 8,000 Iromcorkcrs Out.
Ban Francisco, May 6.— The labor situation in
Ban Francisco to-day sho<wed no change from yes
terday. The streetcars were not runn'.ng, the tele
phone service waa crippled, thousands of iron
workers were, still holding out for an eight hour
day and nearly all of the big laundries were Idle.
No attempt to run cars was made to-day. Condi

pension of telephone service.
It ta now said that to-morrow an attempt will be
made to resume streetcar operations. The com
pany haa a number of men quartered at Its barns
and has arranged for the protection of the men as
well as for their accommodation. Provisions of all
kimia have been stored in the strongholds, and i
uppltances for cooking meals for the men have '
been provided. From the preparations already
made It is evident that the company intends to run !
cars at first on the main streets covered by the
»ystem. and that no attempt will be made to :
operate the minor lines.
The situation so far has been peaceful, but every !
preparation Is being made by the state and city i
authorities to prevent any breach of the peace.
