14 DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE ALIVE Executive Committee to Point the Way at State Convention. IN FIGHT FOR CONGRESSMEN Will Take Active Part Next Fall — Tammany Men at Recep tion to Chairman Dix. Members of the executive committee of th« Democratic L-ea^ue gathered at the JT.'itl Astor yesterday to congratulate i John A. Dix. one of their number, and themselves, on his election as the head of the Democratic State Committee. In the afternoon they decided to hold another con ference, similar to the Saratoga confer ence, at which their movement was born. Ju?t prior to the Democratic State Con- | vention next fall, with the idea of pointing j th- way to that body. It was also de cided to take an active part in the Con gretsional elections in this state this falL Tammany Men Out in Force. Every county in the state was said to be represented at the reception tendered to Chairman John A. Dix at the Hotel Astor In the evening:. The north ballroom was well , filled, and while there v.as a considerable sprinkling of upstate men the Tammany adherents were there in full force, headed by Charles F. Murphy and the genial "Tom" Smith. Many of the oldtimers looked askance at the reformers. Thomas M. Osborne. president of the league, acted as master of ceremonies and presented the callers to the guest of the evening, who was also attended by Robert Grier Monroe, chairman of the local branch of the league, and William Temple Emmet, chairman of the executive committee. Congressman William Bdser was present •nd helped along his gubernatorial Doom, while Herbert P. Bisse.ll, of Buffalo, also had a boom for Governor In full action, and John R. Burton, of Brooklyn, who was the loca! secretary of the national committee during the last campaign, was being vigorously .groomed for the Lieu tenant Governorship by the younger men. John A. Dix himself, in reply to a ques tion whether he would accept the nomina tion for Governor, said there was no elec tive position that could tempt him to resign hit- present office. ••Why. I would as soon think of voting the Republican ticket as accepting the nomination for Governor." he added. Talk of Expectations. After all the visitors had been intro duced Thomas M. Osborne called for order and introduced Robert Grier Monroe. president of the local branch of the league, who announced that the Xew York County branch, though late in the field, would make itself felt in bringing in I thousands of Democrats who did not fol low the organization. William Temple Kmmet spoke along the same lines, as did Edward M. Shepard. who proclaimed him self the mouthpiece of the unorganized, unpractical Democrats. John A. Dix declared himself pleased at the harmony which reigned. It was a time, he said, for laying aside pursuits of bread winning for the cause of honesty and public welfare. He referred to the roused national conscience and the preva lence of an Iniquitous tariff, revised by Its friends," and styled by the Chief Ex ecutive "the best tariff ever p<rs*ed." He continued: "Our party should not be successful alone because of the disintegration of another party; it should go forward with a definite policy, be honest with itself, true to its principles and faithful to it? responsibil ities. "Our platform should be the short, straight line of fairness between govern ment and governed. The tariff should be practical, not political, yielding a revenue lor revenue only; not an extravagant tax upon those who toil and spin. "Jolts cf Hysterical Espionage." "Business, which forms The backbone of K. cur industrial life and places this nation El high in the financial and commercial list Ef of the world, should have a fair chance to pursue the course of development without the jolts of hysterical espionage. Business should be required to conform to the laws on our statute books, no more, no less. If our laws do not apply to present conditions we should exact sane and safe laws which will give stability to business. If our busi ness is treated impartially it will pay a reasonable and honest assessment or tax. The principal objection to tax is the use made of the money so collected, for e»; cessive tax always means extravagance. Oar relations with other or adjoining coun tries should be amicable, mutual and on a business basis, approaching that straight line of honesty or not at all." Herrick Starts the Enthusiasm. D Cady Herrick was the last speaker. after Alton B. Parker had been called and it was found that he had gone. Mr. Her rick referred to the disastrous results of >ii:- previous attempt to play second fiddle to ex-Judge Parker and aroused the en thusiasm cf the organization men when £e-jdeclared himself a "machine man. in cation, state and city." "It is not time to reward favorites," he *Bld. "to help self-seekers or party war horses. Choose the best men, not only vote setters but men who will show tliat the Democratic party is worthy of holding and exercising pom in the state and nation." Thomas M. Oshsrsje, presiding at the afternoon session, read a letter he had •written in reply to a New York County Democrat complaining- of the slowness with Which the organization was working here. To thi.s man. whose name was not given, 2>ir Osborne wrote: "1 am sorry to have any one lose in terest In our movement at the time when there seerr.s to b«= the best chance to do effective service. It s*>ems to me to be a fine opportunity for every Democrat to put his shoulder to the wheel, whether or not the existing arrangements are entirely satisfactory, and try to make the most Th<»t can be made of the ■■-■■■.. It is a movement which has for it* sole object the strenfTthening of the existing part}- or ganization, whatever that may be. In this view of the matter we have nothing to rio with Tammany, Hall or any other organization, a.^ such; we have only to do with the existing organized Democratic party."

A coroner's jury returned a verdict yes terday in the case of Paul Hamburger, the young German who was shot in the office of Samri Ellis, a clairvoyant, at No. 9 West 45th street, that the deceased came to his death at the hand? of some party or parties unknewn. At the request of Deputy Assistant District Attorney Turn bull. Ellis, who has been a prisoner in the Tombs since the time of the shooting, June 17. was held to await the action of the grand jury. Coroner Holthauser fixed bail at $10,000. At .the hearing yesterday testimony was given that besides the clairvoyant business which was carried on by Samri Ellis and Dr. Edmund Ellis, who posed as his broth er, the two men were engaged in promoting the affairs of the Oriental Remedy Com pany and also of the Blue Ridge Mining Company. According to Edmund Ellis the com pany owns a coal mine in Ohio, and it was for the purpose of working this mine that the company was formed. The Oriental Remedy Company was formed to sell a certain kind of tea which purported to be a cure for many diseases. Dr. Ellls's testimony brought out the fact that his real name was Edmund R. Cook and that Samri's name was Charles F. Balwanz. They were not real brothers, according to the doctor, but only brothers in religion and in "psychic work." TOO ILL TO GO TO COURT Mrs. "Tom" Pierce in Bellevue — No Effort for Her Release. Mrs. Alice Crowninshield Rogers Pierce, friend of actresses, huntswoman, club woman and divorced wife of Thomas W. Pi-rce, of Boston, is still at Bellevue Hos pital, to which she was removed on Tues rtnv. after raising a row at the Park Casino. She spent a restless night, and it was impossible for her to appear in court to answer a charge of disorderly conduct. William L. Payne, husband of Mrs. Les lie Carter, offered to secure bail on the n:ght of the arrest, but as Mrs. Pierce was :.t the time in a condition described by the physicians as "alcoholic hysteria."' it was deemed better to leave her under restraint at the hospital. Miss Adele Ritchie, the acres*, -with whom Mr?. Pierce was living at Pelham, aided her friend in securing her liberation from a sanatorium in Connecticut in 190S, but she made no move yesterday, so far as is known, toward getting her out of durance in the prison ward of Bellevue. where she is under the charge of Dr. Mc- ConnelL CHICKEN CHASE AFTER FIRE Thousands Escape During Blaze Near Poultry Market. Fir« of unknown origin did about $5,000 damaee to the kindling wood yard of Clark & Wiltons, at 127 th street and the Harlem River, and to neighboring buildings, last night. The fire, for which three alarms were sent in. started in the lumber yard. A policeman discovered it and sent in the first alarm. Before the firemen arrive^ the flames spread across the street and caught the high fence surrounding Sulzers Harlem River Park, and extended to the chicken market of Piskosh & Feldstein. adjoining the lumber yard. When the firemen ar rived they found the blaze so bad that the second alarm was sent in. Fireboats re sponded, and in half an hour the tire was under control. A number of horses were rescued from a nearby stable which was threatened. From the chicken market about five thousand cijekens ran. and a general dash was made for them by hundreds of negroes who live in that section. Many good broilers thus were hwt before the reserves from the East UStn >:r. et station arrived and put a stop to the raiding.

As she was walking up the steps Smith appeared and fired three .shots at her, two of them taking effect. She fell to the steps mortally wounded. As persons in the bouse rushed to the scene Smith calmly placed the muzzle of the weapon to his head and sent a ballet into his brain. Husband and wife were taken to Bush wick Hospital, where it was saii both «vould die. HOLD ON TO KIDNAPPED BOY Stepfather of Dean McLaughlin Says Lad Is "with Friends." Dr. Henry P.

WARRANT CLERK'S TIMIDITY Saw He Had Learned a Lesson from the Cohalan Case, and Wanted To Be Advised. Mayor Gaynor helfl up yesterday the Controller's warrant for $35,000 in favor of ex-Justice William N. Cohen in payment of Mr. Cohen's services as a special coun sel In the franchise tax cases of the Con solidated Gas and other lighting companies. The Mayor decided to wait for an opinion from the Corporation Counsel as to his right to interfere in such cases. The fee, which was determined upon as being fair by Controller Prendergast after consideration and consultation with advis ers, was announced by him last week. It was based on the $906,000 which was added to the amount paid by the companies through the efforts of Mr. Cohen and was placed at 3%i per cent of that amount. Th© Mayor's attention was called to the warrant by James T. Curtin. the warrant clerk, who countersigned the famous Co halan warrant for $48,000. He is reported to have said: "Mr. Mayor, here is another warrant from the Controller to pay another lawyer $35,000 in the same suits that the Cohalan warrant was for, and considering all that has been said about the Cohalan warrant. I don't want to sign this new warrant without your direction." The Mayor is reported to have told Mr. Curtin that he had nothing to do with the amount or the merits of the claim, that the auditing Of claims belonged exclusively to the Controller, and that the Controller's audit bound all other officials and that he, Curtin, had only the formal part of coun tersigning the warrant, provided it was made out In due form. Then, according to the report, the con versation proceeded as follows: "Yea, Your honor," said Curtin, "that may be true, but you know what was said about my signing the Cohalan warrant, and I hope you will tell me what to do with this one. I want also to point out to your honor that this present bill is for a much larger amount, proportionately, than the Cohalai bill was. The Cohalan bill was for 650 days at $73.84 a day, while this bill is for 239 days at $146.44 per day." * "Is that so?" said the Mayor. "Well, I will take it and look at it. and probably the best way -will be for me to get the advice of the Corporation Counsel about this matter so that it may be settled once for all in the minds of everybody whether you or the Mayor are in any way" liable for the audit and payment of these bills." "The report accompanying the claim speaks for itself," said the Controller last nifiht. "ami shows what service was per formed. The results of Judge Cohen's work are shown, and I consider the re muneration reasonable. It Is in the re sults obtained that the services of Judge Cohen differ essentially from those of .Mr. Cohalan. Judge Cohen's cases 'orougli.t ah«-".it a difference in favor of the city of approximately $900, 0n0. and In view of this I think it will be agreed that liis fee is none too large. "You will observe, too. that the method of procedure in fixing the fee has been very different in this case from that in the Cohalan affair. As soon as I had decided upon the amount to be paid Judge Cohen. even before It was sent on to the auditor. I made a puhlic announcement in the press of the amount I considered fair. ;fnrl gave ample opportunity to the public to make whatever criticism might lie in the matter. 1 have h^ard no such criticism as yet. and anybody who want to know all about the case can com** to the Controller's- depart ment, where the papers arc accessible to a!!. "I am glad to learn that Mr. Curtin has become so careful about countersigning warrants, and only regret that he did not exercise such care on some previous occa sions." Attached to the Cohen warrant is a re port made by James J. Deegan to Albert E. Hadlock, chief of the division of < law an.i adjustment of the Finance Depart ment, from which Mr. Curtin got his fig ures. It was simply a statistical com parison of time alleged to have been spent by Mr. Colialan and Mr. Cohen on their respective cases. Ii was pointed out l;irt night however, that the claim of Mr. Cohen was settled on the basis of actual cash returns to the city as a result of his services. The Coiialan payment wa- figured on an en tirely different basis. Indeed, it had to be, because Mr. Cohalan's report was in favor of cutting off some of the assessed fran chise taxes against the ureet railway com panu»£r, in which cases he did most of hid work. Mr. Cohen is in Europe. GRAND JURY LEGAL. SAYS WISE. United States Attorney Wise filed answers yesterday to the plea made by counsel for Charles A. Kittle, indicted on charge.' of having been in the cotton bull ,-,001. that the federal zrand jury that found the in dictment was an illegal body. Mr. Wise de nied that there was anything irregular in the proceeding, and said that the law cre ating the power to impanel two federal grand juries was constitutional. CANNON'S DAUGHTER SAILS.

HATS VALUED ONE HALF First Lot of Seized Panamas Appraised Here. MAY SETTLE WITHOUT SUIT Importers To Be Allowed to Give Bonds and Take Stock for Equal Amount. The work of appraising the first lot of Panama hats seized on Collector , Loebs order for alleged undervaluation has been completed. The home value was said at the Custom House yesterday to have been placed at $124,552; the first valuation was $66,000. "Word of this new valuation, with the papers in forfeiture proceedings, may be sent to the United States Attorney's office to-day. There may be a settlement, however, without suit. Franklin MacVeagli, Secretary of the Treasury, was informed of the completion of this first step in the Panama hat under valuation cases as he settled down yester day for a morning's work in the Custom House. It was then griven out that the papers would go to the Federal Building, and that then the importers would be al lowed to Rive bond and would be permitted to get as much of the stock as their bond permitted. This power to get the goods is what the importers have been struggling for ever since the first seizure and the stop order, which tied up $1,000,000 worth of the head gear and checked the Panama hat trade for the season. The Treasury agents, now that the appraisal of the first lot has been made, will start in at once on other lots. At the rate at which they have been pro ceeding, it was said last evening, the hats would be ready for the market about next spring. Secretary MacVeagh was in conference with collector Loeb and others yesterday considering the offer of settlement of an mporier who undervalued his goods, and also considering the conditions at the Ap praiser's Stores. Appraiser YVnnmaker was at the conference later, and Mr. MacVeagh granted his request for three additional examiners of passengers' bag-gage, who will get $1,800 a year each. The first step in a shake-up was taken in the abolition of the place of examiner of cutlery. The Secretary of the Treasury was in formed before he left the city that the case of the government against Isaac Marcuson, who had come from Belgium with nearly $12,000 worth of diamonds, had been satisfactorily settled by permitting .Marcuson to plead guilty. The latter was fined SiJOO. and the diamonds and a few sapi'liirps, altogether appraised at 511.079 92, were forfeited. Soon after his plea was taken a petition in bankruptcy was filed against the dia mond merchant, and Judge Hounh appoint ed Walter C. Lew a.s receiver to take possession of any goods he mi^ht find. The claim against Marcuson is for $11,777, the value of diamonds it was alleged he had not paid for. Secretary MacVeagh left last evening for New London, and to-morrow will return to "Washington, but it was that he might visit the I'ustom House on his way back to get further report.- of the work of the commission that is- investigating the con ditions at the Appraiser's Stores. STATION CABMEN PROTEST Oppose Injunction to Keep Them Away from Grand Central. Justice Pap^ listened to argument yes terday on the temporary injunction ob tained by the New York Central road and the New Haven road restraining John Daly and other cabmen and expressmen from doing business at the Grand Central Sta tion. The petitioners asked that the in junction be made permanent because they had an agreement with the Westoott Ex press Company under .which the latter was to handle all the cab and express business at the station. • . The defendants set up that the agree ment with the Wf-ftcott Kxprefs Company constitutes a conspiracy in restraint of trade: that the prices of the latter com pany arc- higher than those charged by them, and that the railroad employes de prive the, defendants of business by repre senting to passengers that the latter are unreliable. The defendants <leolarorl that the affi davits of the petitioners are all mad<- by nezrn porters, while they have thf- affi davits r>f passengers which say t hat th<> outside cabmen an<i expressmen are a con y. picr.o^ instead of a nuisance, as alleged hv th*' railroad companies. Justice I-'age reserved decision. RAISES YONKERS TROLLEY MEN Justice Keogh Grants Increase of Two Cents to Men Recently on Strike. By a decision of Justice Martin .1. Keogh, tiled at White Plains yesterday, the wages of the three hundred motormen and con ductors of the Vonkers Railway Company, who recently went on a strike, are in creased 2 cents an hour. This means that the one-year men will receive 23 cents an hour, ■ and those who hav<: been in the employ of the company for a longer period will get 26 cents. After being out eight days, tying up the railway completely, tho men' went back to the ears, agreeing to abide by Justice Keo^h!- decision. Th. court says: ••The Intelligent at d i an.li.i statements of the receiver h;i\." b<-en of great as- Rtstance to me in the investigation which 1 have made. 1 will Increase the pay of the one-year men to 23 cents an hour, and I will Increase the pay of all the men who have worked longer than one year to 26 tents at: hour. 1 am adopting the wilding ■ill.- rate of compensation because i found it in force on the Yonkvrs railroad. I will sign an order accordingly." ENFORCING SHERMAN LAW L.MI A/llvii im »""■" Thirty-five Anti-Trust Prosecu tions in Two Administrations. WICKERSHAM GIVES LIST Twenty-two Suits Begun Under Roosevelt and Thirteen Under Taft — Status of Cases. TFrom Thfi Tribune Burcaul Washington. June 29.-Attorney General Wlckersham has compiled a list of prose cutions by the government under the Sher man anti-trust act. extending as far back as tho beginning of the Roosevelt admin istration. This list Indicates not only the number and character of the prosecutions up to date, but the status of the cases. It shows clearly the activity of the Depart ment of Justice in recent years to curb monopolistic control of commerce and to prevent unlawful restraint of trade. Unde. the Taft and Roosevelt adminis trations there have been thirty-tive Indict ments of corporations and individuals for violation of the Sherman act. Thirteen of these have been returned since Mr. Taft became President. Most of the cases are pending. The government has lost a Hm of them, but in several others It has won notable victories. One of the cases begun under the Roosevelt administration, that against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, was discon tinued a year ago this week. The case beg-un on May 31 against the Missouri Pacific and twenty-four other railroads, growing out of the proposed advance in railroad rates, was discontinued yesterday. This suit resulted la a victory for the government. In view of the effort made for political effect by Democratic Senators and Repre sentatives to prohibit the expenditure of any of the money appropriated for the en forcement of the anti-truat laws to the prosecution of labor organizations, it is interesting to know that the records of the Department of Justice fail to show that there has beer, any prosecution of a labor organization under the Sherman law by the government at any time. In a few days the Sherman act will have been on the statute books for twenty years. The Roosevelt List.
