Mr. Foelker answered that the first story was true; the others false.

It is in no sense a mere party fight, and we have a right to appeal to every man who prizes the honor of the State of New York and the nood name of America to help us. We stand squarely for the elimination of special privileges, for the separa tion of business and politics, for hon esty in public life: we stand for the rule of the people and for the pre vention of the prostitution of politics to money getting. "Our opponents call themselves the Democracy of the State of New York, but they have no claim to uss the name of any historic national party; and it is a libel on such Democrats of the past as Andrew Jackson to asso ciate with the party to which he be longed this conscienceless alliance between Wall Street and Tammany Hall.

He mounted to the office of Captain W. Brackett. who gave out the story to-day. Sergeant L. E. Reesor met him at the captain's door. "Morning, sergeant," said Sargent. "I wish to enlist." Reesor looked at the applicant, attired in a faultlessly fitting, ultra fashionable suit of clothes, gray silk gloves and beaver hat. In his hand he carried a gold-topped walking stick and also held a leather leash, at the end of which struggled two dogs, one a Boston terrier, the other a French bull. For a moment the sergeant was staggered. "All right, sir." said Reesor at last. "Strip:" Th" applicant disrobed, went through a rigorous physical examination and passed well above the average. Then he went before the captain, filled out the necessary papers <tti<! told his story. "Captain Brackett." he began, 'I wish t" enlist as an ordinary seaman, that I may eventually get a commission in the navy.

Running Into Millions. Collector Thinks, as Investigation Develops. ONE CASE FOUND LAST WEEK Appraiser's Stores Ms.v Come Within Scope of Probe — Wei Known Collectors to Testify. Several wealthy patrons of art are to be called as witnesses before the federal grand jury which is investigatlnar the charges against Duveen Brothers of un^ dervaluing art importations into this country, while others, according: to Col lectCT Loeb, will themselves come under scrutiny. The total amount of the un dervaluations, the Collector says, will ex ceed the sums revealed by the investi gations of the Suarar Trust frauds. "How many millionaire? are you *oin* to suhprpna"" Mr. Loeb was asked yes terday afternoon. "We haven't come to that yet.' h«» re plied, "but we .re only at the begrinnln? Of this affair. The news that has been published s<-> far is only of minor im portance The big disclosures are still to come, and when the bottom is reached the sums involved will probably exceed by a vast amount the Sugar Tru^t frauds." -Their- are some big things being pulled off here." the Collector said earlier in the day. "and we'\e got the "dead wood" on these fellows." Limits of Investigation. When he got to talking about the pos sibilities of the investigation. Mr. Loeb quoted from an opinion given to him by Mark P. Andrews, solicitor to the «"ol lector. •' "In the case of smuggled goods the property can be >.e; Z «d in the hands of purchaser? for value or other innocent third persons.' Mr. Loeb quoted, "but in th^» case of entered goods, when the gov ernment has a dual remedy, title passes to innocent purchasers and other Inno cent third persons with regard to SOCfl entered goods and the government can only proceed under its election for the forfeiture of the goods betor* such transfer to an innocent third person or for a suit for values against the original importer.' "But if there is collusion, it is differ ent," Mr. Loeb continued. "If we can show collusion between the purchasers and Duveen Brothers in the undervalua tion of importations, we can go into private houses or galleries or any place where the goods are and seize them. "We believe the books will produce the trMeilcs w p n<**>d. and if we find evidence that will justify us. we will pro ceed against millionaires or others, who ever i* guilty, criminally and civilly, to the full extent of the law. There is a f ,-, r rp of liquidators working on the books now. but It will take several days for them to mak" tiwlr report." "These frauds are gigantic." Mr. Loeb said emphatically, "and have continued right up to the present time." Until the Collector said that it had been understood that the undervalua tions had been committed only under the old Dingley tariff law. which put a duty of U"> per cent on paintings and from 45 to 50 per cent on vases, while furniture carried a 35 per cent duty. But Mr. Loeb explained the situation- One Case Last Week, Says Loeb. The new law admits paintings and antiques free." he said, "but the Duveen brothers import many things which are dutiable. We have one instance against them within the last week. When I got the letter on Monday that brought immediate action in the affair. I called up the Appraiser's Stores and asked them if they had anything there for Duveen Brothers. They said that they had some rugs, and I told them to hold the rugs. •Then I investigated and we now have specific information in our hands that there was undervaluation in the impor tation of these rugs. I have 50 many cases of undervaluation before me that I , ant recall the exact figure in this case, but my impression is that the invoice put the valuation of the rug* at $rt.<lfN) or $18,000. I think it was fM4Oa M Then Mr. Loeb sprung another surprise by saying that the investigation was being carried right into the Appraiser's Srores. He was asked if the lengTh of time over which the unden nluations had extended did not indicate that there was collusion between the importers and the government appraisers. "I will tell you that later." he re plied "Th<? investigation will show that." When <leorge W Wanmaker. fie United States Appraiser, was asked about this he said: "I have no personal knowledge of the case. It is now under investigation, and I cant talk about it." When he was asked if it would be 1..-, essary for there to be collusion in order for there to be a long BOTJ undervaluations, he said "Sot at all. While I don't know. I don't believe th»re has beea in this case. I understand that the undervaluations are not more re cent than two years ago. and that was before my time. But undervaluations may be made perfectly innocently by an appraiser The price of art objects fre quently depends in a large measur* on sentiment — something that I can't un derstand. Winmaksr on Sentiment. "As an illustration, an art object might be valued by the appraiser at $100. but the importer might put a value on it of M»tat on account of sentiment — Its having been the property of a king or prince — and it might very well be that 't would in fact have $18,000 worth more of sentimental value and the ap praiser know nothing about it. "You can't blame him for that. Per sonally. I can't understand the attitude Of mind of a man who would pay $18,000 out of sentiment for a vase that I wouldn't take home as a gift."

IB': to Tho Tribune. 1 London, Oct. 1." — American expert ad vice is wanted for the improvement of the broad districts of Australia like that traversed by the River Murray, which drains a basin of five hundred thousand square miles. An agent of South Aus tralia made through Ins American Em bassy, not. long ago. a request for co operation in the direction of various I development schemes. The names of two American experts from San Fran cisco and Portland were submitted by the State Department and communi cated to-day through the embassy to ' the agent of South Australia. These experts are familiar with the de tails of the Irrigation works which have changed the face of the arid districts in the Western states. The conditions are similar in the broad belts of Australia, and the redemption of a large section of arid plains in the interior is hoped for from the adoption of systematic irriga- ; tion on the American plan. The prob lems in the Soudan are essentially dif ferent. CHILD PARALYSIS GERM Similar to Sleeping Sickness Protozoan, Says Scientist. Philadelphia, Oct. 14.— The discovery- of a germ which probably causes infantile paralysis was announced to-night at a special meeting of the College of Physi cians held here to discuss that disease. Dr. Allen J. Smith, dean of the medical department of the University of Penn sylvania and director of the school of tropical diseases recently founded in . I that institution, declared that in the blood of sufferers from the disease had been found a protozoan, or a low form of animal life, which be thinks may prove , to be the germ which causes the dis ease. It resembles the germ which causes sleeping sickness, and. In his opinion, is . carried from one victim to another by insects. Dr. Charles K. Mills and other well known physic corroborated Dr. \ Smith in his opinion. HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST Wrecks in the Baltic— three Drowned on French Ship. St Petersburg.

Will you nnT This is the keynote of the campaign which Theo dore Roosevelt has sounded all down th* southern tier from Dunkirk to Elrnira to-day, and every time he ha* asked th© question his hearers have answered "No!" with one voice. -It is in no sense a mere party fight. We have a right to appeal to e>-<?ry ma a who prizes the honor of the state and the good name of America. -It Is the unholy alliance of Wall Street and Tammany Hall, of bis; busi ness and corrupt politics, against honor and decency. "It is a contest between the man who prosecuted the Sugar Trust and made it di-gorge its ill gotten gains and the re spectable and unimportant figurehead nominated in Room 212 of a Rochester hotel." These are the propositions which Mr. Roosevelt, with characteristic vehe mence, has been thundering at the voters of the state ever since be reached Dun kirk, at 11 o'clock this forenoon, and from the enthusiasm which his words have aroused it is a reasonable assump tion that they have touched a responsive chord. Dix and Stimson Contrasted. r>ix. the unknown, the respectable but unimportant puppet, daring to do only the will of his masters, and Stimson. the man who has done things, the fearless and capable attorney who is dreaded, not only by the Sugar Trust, which ha 3 suf fered at his hands, but by others -xho realize that it is of vital consequence to their purses, and perhaps even to their personal safety, and whom Wail Street and Tammany insist "shall not be X" as the power to do exact Justice on a larger scale as Governor of New York." have been depicted by the ex-President with a force and picturesqueness such a3 few ethers can command. "I ask support for Harry Stim3cn be cause of the character of tho»« poli ticians and those from the- great busi ness interests which are rabid in their hostility to him." said Mr Roosevelt to more than one audience to-day, adding: "When you see that group of politicians and business men all going one « ay it U pretty safe for the average decent citi zen to go the other way." Mr. Roosevelt has told his audiences the story of the Rochester convention a3 related in the news columns of what he terms "the Wall Street papers." and ha has offered to name them M any one wmted him to. He has told them that the so-called convention at Rochester was no convention at all; that the dele gates represented no one. not even them selves, but meekly took their orders from "Boss" Murphy si Tammany Hall when they received the peremptory summons. "You're wanted in Room 212." that hav ing -en the number of the room whicix Murphy occupied in the Seneca Hotel at Rochester. Tammany and Wall Street Alliance. Mr. Roosevelt has scored OH Wall Street papers" in no uncertain terms. He asserts that these newspapers differ only in non-essentials, but are a3 en© whenever the interests of "Wall Street are in real danger; that they stand for the interests of the whole people when. and only when, those interests happen to be the same as those of the whole peo ple, but that where the interests of Wall Street and the people are at variance th^se newspapers may always be found standing by Wall Street, and that in this campaign these newspapers "have all sunk their minor prejudices and followed. Wall Street into the camp of Tammany Hall. "Without regard to the fact that they have all been against Tammany in th* past whenever only Tammany inter ests were Involved." he continued, "they are now supporting Tammany with tha heartiest enthusiasm- And why? Be cause Wall Street and Tammany have struck hands. "And what does this mean? It means that the politicians who want favors from big business, either for their own personal advancement or to keep their political control, have joined in whole souled alliance with those so-called business men who in their turn wish to control politics. Business men who seek to rise by their own industry do not want to control politics. There is but one reason that moves business men to ccntrol politics, and that is to mafcJ money. not by serving the public, but by swindling the public. "We have been nghtics for the rule of the people even within our own party, and we have gained it. and now we are fighting for the rule of the people in the state as a whole." said Mr, Roosevelt at Dunkirk. We are fighting against th •» most shameless, crooked politicians that our state has seen since Twee-! was driven from power. We are not only flghtlnK for the rights of the peop>. but we are actually fighting for the inter-Jt of men of great Wai who in tVir rapaciousness wish to purchase absolute power for themselves In the present at the cost of untold damage to themselves Bnd to all of us m the future." He then described how delegates were ordered to and from Murphy room at Rochester, and how they carried out their orders. He referred to the abase ment the candidates displayed, and added: "Mr. Shepard. a man of educa tion and position, has actually usued a card of thanks, expressing fervent grati tude to his supporters for the support they had given him.
