land of this city. In describing tho memorable
battles of July 1 nnd 2, he said I
" I consider myself Tory fortunate to be alive
and woll after having been on the firing line
nlnco July 1. On that day we set the ball roll
Ing. Tho battle began at 6:15 A. M. and lasted
until B P. M., and then I was pat on picket
duty until 4 the noxt morning. Breakfast was
served and wo wero again ordered to do the
firing, Tho second day the firing was some
thing awful. The way the shots fell made my
hair stlok up. I never saw rain drops foil fact
or than did tho bullets that day. The Spaniards
wero up on top of a hill and had tranches and
blockhouses to protect thomsolves. There
were olght Inches of crushed stones In between
the planks of tho blockhouses, and thsy
had a number of rapld-flro guns mounted on
the hill, nnd thoy poured a terrible flro Into us.
Wo had to charge up that hill against the Span
ish with tho Infantry, and you onn Imagine
what we hnd to do. The sholls went whistling
through the air and mon were falling on all
sides of mo, but I kept my norvo up. My Cap
tain told mo to follow tho colors, and I did so.
It wns not because I wanted to, for It had
got too hot for mo. but I said to myself that
It I was to be shot I would bo anyway,
nnd eo I went ahead. I did not lose
courage although I thought It about time
wo all lost courage the way the shells
were striking our men right and left and
wo hod not gained nn inch and the Spanish
wero holding their own. Ono of our command
ing officers told us wo must charge up the hill
nnd drlvo them out. Aftor four attempts we
roaohed the top of tho hill. When wogotthoro
tho Spanish wore piled four and five deep In
the trenchos. Tho Spanish fled and wo re-,
malned for tho night where they had beon.
Wo captured forty-eight prisoners. The com
pany was detailed to take the prisoners book to
Biboney, and we did not get there until July 4.
There has been no firing slnco. I stood on tho
firing lino when Liout. Hobson was exchanged
nnd passed through tho linen. You ought to
havo hoard tho shouting thon."

whon betweon Sixty-first and Blxty-socond

The car continued on Its course for fully 500

There Tfare Ho Conferences atTong Orsnoh,
Yesterday, and Thsra VTlll Da None
Thsre or Anywhere Ely nlll Criticised,
try Ills Old State Committee ITrlends no
Is In Pretty Bad Shape Politically.
LoifQ Bruitcn, July 24. Senator Edward
Murphy, Jr.. made one thing clear to-day In
a conversation to a representative of Tub Bom.
There will bo no conferences of Domooratlo
loadors.etthor hero or at Saratoga or anywhoro
else In tho State. Senator Murphy, In other
words, does not believe In dress parade or
trombono politic. Benator Murphy made this
plain for tho reason that It had been heralded
that Domooratlo conferences would be held hero
to-day. Thero were no conferences of any kind.
A platoon of Democrats from all over the Btato
was here, and of course the Tammany colony
Is always, during the season, on exhibition, es
pecially on Sundays, when Its members got out
their wagonettes and surreys and all sorts of
vohlclos and drlvo about the town and sur
rounding country most of the day and evontng.
Senator Murphy took a long drive with some
of his friends. John F. Carroll. ex-Lieut-Gov.
William F. Bheohan and others wont to ohuroh.
Thon thoy wont to drive, and later on In hap
hazard and frlondly fashion thoy called upon
Benator Murphy, Benator James Smith pf Now
Jersey and others. The talks wero more about
soelal'mattora and tho Incidents In the financial
and ovory-day world than on political subjects.
It may be stated as an expression from a ma
jority of those seen, that politicians and states
men beoomo so tired of dlsousslng political
matters that Bunday Is a welcomo day to thorn.
Then they all dress up, sit around hotel porches,
loungo about tholr cottages In the momlng, or
go to ohuroh, and after the usual midday
dinner, Incident to summer season life, they
drive with their friends and dlsouss floriculture,
religion, sociology, and. In toot, almost every
subject savo politics.
Senator nil! was at Normandle-by-the-Sea.
He likes to play politics every day In tho
weok nnd overy hour of the day. There was
nothing and nobody, however, that Mr. Hill
could play with to-day. Bofore coming to New
Jersoy he hnd a private talk with ex-Secretory
of Stnto Frederick Cook, and again requested
Mr. Cook to put himself In line to oocept the
Democratic nomination for Govornor this fall.
Mr. Cook had beon previously Importuned by
Mr. mil to hold himself In readiness to accept
tho nomination, but Mr. Cook's final utter
ances to Mr. Hill wero that In no circumstances
would ho accopt tho nomination: his health
wouldn't permit and all that sort of thing, and
then Mr. Cook fled to Europe Ho wilt remain
abroad until tho campaign Is over.
While no conferences of any kind were held
to-dny, there was more or less Individual con
versation, and. summed up, tho majority
sentltnont favored the following plank In tho
Blatform of the forthcoming Democratic Stato
onvontion:
Unoltrd. That wo lay low on tho Democrntlo
national platform of 1806 for two years. After
that we'll trot it out andlproclaim ourselvos to
bo Al Democrats for the good of all ooncornod.
Amen.
If nil the testimony heard to-day from Demo
cratic State Committeemen who wore at tho
seaside is correct tho political fortunes of ox
Senator Hill are at low tldo In the Stato. Other
Domocrnts said that Mr. Hill was too big a
Democrat and too wlso a ono to he Incon
tinently thrown out of the window and for
gotten. Nevortholess, it may be said without
fear of contradiction that cortaln Stato Com
mitteemen upon whom Mr. Hill Is apparently
relying are not with him nt all and that this
will be demonstrated whon the Democratic
State Convention meets. Moreover. It was
Insisted that Mr. Hill should not longer
count upon tho support, an Jn previous
years, of the Hon. Hugh McLaughlin of
Brooklyn. Politics is a business, a matter of
trade. It was averred, and then the story went
on to tho effect that Mr. Hill Is without power,
without means of any kind, either to appease
his political and factional enemies or to furthor
reward his old friends. You seo. It Is the Quia
pro quo Idea all tho way through.
Then some of tho old Democratic Stato Com
mitteemen who havo hitherto been friendly to
Mr. Hill called attention to his attitude In
Washington during the six years he was a Son
ator, Mr, II 111 wouldn't bother himself about
getting Federal patronago for his friends,
they said. But then others recalled that
neither Sir. Hill nor Benator Slurphy bad a
Sat-royal-fiush lnflueneo with the Clovoland
rimlnlstratlon. The Hon. Daniel Scott I-a-raont
practically directed tho patronago of the
Clovoland Administration in New York State
and the Hon. Robert Maxwell was his chief
lieutenant In that line of business.
Anyhow, the Domocrntlo machine chaps did
not get the patronago they demanded, save In
Isolated cases, and then only through the good-
Bess of Mr. Imont and the Hon. Bob. and the
III machine was frightfully weakened.
Senator Murphy, however. It was said, did
all that was possible to help tho boys out. and
furthermore ho was not. It was remarked,
dreaming morning, noon and night and even
during the midnight and early dawn hours
how to advance his own political fortunes.
Theso criticisms against Mr. Hill are now
having weight. The seed Is bearing, fruit, and
there is more or less bitterness In thp ex
pressions of tho Democrats. Another chickon
has come homo to roost, according to
what was hoard yostorday. nnd that Is
that Mr. Hill's epoeoh In tho closing
days of his career In Washington, whon
he came to thp forlorn rescue of Cleveland,
is being marked up against him. Thero Is no
doubt of the truth nf this statement. It was
told by Mr. Hill's old friends. Democratic Stato
Committeemen nnd others, men who aro famil
iar at all times with the political sentlmonts of
their constituents.
Then, again. Mr. Hill's attitude In the Bryan
campaign In 1806 did not strengthen him with
thi Democrats who had followed htm to vic
tory and to defeat with equal serenity.
Mr. Hill furthermore was charged with at
tempting to precipitate a fight between tho
country and tho New York city Democrats
whon by alleged negotiations with Pulitzer he
? 'reclaimed that ho. Mr. Hill, nnd hn only, was
he Simon-pure Domocrrttlo lender of the State.
who wore still powerful both In Now York
and Washington, men whom Pulltmr had
abused and maligned In most shameful fash
ion. They, It was pointed out were naturally
resontfal over the allegod HlU-Pulltzor com
bine, and thoy have been. It was ascertained,
working day and night to humble Mr. Hill In
the forthcoming Demoeratlo State Convention.
In a word, tho situation, as outlined yester
day by oven the old political friends of Mr. Hill,
Domocrntlo Stato Committeemen nnd othors.
can be summed up In theso fow words:
"If Mr, lilll cares to carry his personal fight
Into the Demoeratlo Statu Convention ho will be
a very foolish man. In fact, that Is why we say
there s no fight In tho Domooratlo party.
Thero s no uso In fighting a dofoncelesi man
llko HI 1. Ills factional enemies aro armed to
the teeth, while he hasn't evon a toothpick for
a weapon."
Then. too. Mr. Hill was severely orltlolsod
Sesterday for Issuing, his manifesto against
iov. Black's Metropolitan Elections bill.
"Tho Mugwump press." snld one of Mr.
Hllrs old friends. " was thumping Gov. Black
because of his attitude In this matter, but just
as soon as Mr. Hill came out In his
document and joined them In denouncing
tho measure the Muewurap, newspapers quit,
for the reason that they will have nothing to
do with Hill or anything he advocates. We
5 aro getting quite a support from the
ugwutnn pros until Mr, Hill issued
his manifesto. Since then the Mugwumps
have shut up. Meantime Tammany la not
bothered about the Metropolitan Elections bill.
The organlratlon gots 300 additional places by
It and the Wigwam has always takon caro of
Itself In polltloal campaigns."
In ordor tn be somewhat more speclflo as to
the strength of Mr. Hill In the forthcoming
Demoeratlo Stato Convention It may be said
that these same old Democratic State Com
mlttemen who have been, his political friends
for a dozon years did not hesltato to say to-day
that Mr. Hill beyond the support of Hteubon.
Schuyler, and Chemung countlos would have
little or no recognition In theoonventton. Thoy
pointed out, that Genesee. Wyoming. Ontario,
Yates and Livingston counties, all In bunch,
had turned against him, and that theuon.Rob
ertMaxwell did the business jn Wyoming, and
Livingston against Mr. Hill. Monroe and Niag
ara are divided, ortd James A. Jianlon of Me
d no. It wasaverred.will deliver Orleans against
him.
Mr. mil Is a, delegate from Albany county,
but the delegation Is controlled, outside of Mr.
lull's vote, by Supreme Court Justice p. Cody
Merrick. Thomas Carmady of Yates, while not
opposed, to Mr. Hill. will. It was declared,
throw tho delegation In. favorable, fashion
to Benator Murphy and his friends. E. D.
Miller of Wayne la friendly to Benator
Murphy, and sp the story goes .alt
down (the line. The, counties above the Mo
hawk aw almost solid. It was Insisted. In op
position to Mr. Hill, and If all that was salilto
day turns out to bo halfway eorreot ifr. mil
will surely have an unpleasant time of It If lie
attempts, to direct the comings in and goings
out of tho Democrats at their approaching
Stato Convention.
Mr. Hill Is favorable to an early State Con
vention, It was declared to-day that his
wisheswillnot.be granted. DemocraUo Bute
Chairman Elliot Danforth has had a talk with
Benator Murphy, and from present appear
anoes. unless Mr. H1U desires o force alight,
upon this Question, the demoeratlo Btats Cop
Yentlon will not be held until after the Bepub-
inl ii in li ' "
llcans hold their convention, whloh will be aa
late in September as possible.
" Campaigns cost nj$ney." cald a well-Informed
friend of Mr. Hill, who disagrees with
hlsoldlMderqnthls matter: "3.(XX3 a week,
or something llko that, for actual and. If gltl
mato erponsea, and the folks who aro talking
about an early convention are the very ones
alio are not in politics to contribute a dollar to

Ex-Assemblyman B. B. Noarw of .Wayne.
Calvin J, llueen of Yates, and James Q. Man

Mr. Manning is writing letters to Democrats of
every complexion and factional shade asking
for their support.

LATE STATE CONVENTION.
BBTUBBXGAKS BAY "AFTER YOU" TO
TUB DEMOCRATS.
Senator Piatt Bees No Beaton for Depriving
to Cochin re an Enemy of the Fleatare
of Opening the Bnll Itepnbllcant at
the Oriental No Roosevelt Boomers.
Senator Piatt had rather a unlet day of it
yesterday at the Oriental notel. Coney Island.
Nevertheless, ha found time to talk wltha num
ber of his Republican friends from tits rural
counties, and many mattors pertaining to tho
coming Btato campaign weredtsoussed. Among
those who talked with him were Representa
tive Benjamin B. Odoll, Jr., of Newborg. who I
tho Chairman of the Republican Btate Commit
tee t Representative James W. Wadsworth of
Genesee, who recently returned from Cuba
with Assistant Naval Constructor Hobson, the
hero of the Morrimao: Judge John F. Farlc
hurst of the Court of Claims, who It State Com -ratttoemnn
from Bteuben county, and James 9.
Whipple of Cattaraugus, who la clerk of the
Btate Senate.
From conversations with 8enator Piatt and
his vlsltors'lt was gathorod that although Gov.
Black le In favor of holding the Stato Conven
tion some time betweon the 10th and the ICth
of Septembor.lt will not In all probability bo
held before tho latter part of that month.
There aro sevoral reasons why Gov. Black's
plan Is not foaslble. It was said. In the first
place It seems to be definitely setttod that tho
oonvontlpn will be hold In Saratoga. At tho
earlier dato favored by Gov. Black the town
will be crowded with visitors to the an
nual Flower Festival. Saratoga has ample
hotel accommodations, but no one expects
that tho town will bo able to hold two
such events at tho same ttme. The
i convention, it was further said, cannot bo held
on or Immediately after tlio lGth, of September,
becauso the second primaries to be held under
tho new law are scheduled for the 20th, and
the district leaders, moat of whom will be dele
gates, would not have time to get back to the
ctty nnd prepare for the lattor event.
A further argumont against an early convon-.
tlon was brought out by Sonator Flatt. Ilesald
that the Democrats are now boasting that they
are going to carry the Stnto this foil. If they
are so sure oi winning mo election, no sain.
they have nothing to fear from tho Republicans
and It is only proper that they should take tho
Initiative in nutting forth candidates anil a plat
form. Besides, the Republicans have generally
held their Stale Conventions late In September,
and Senator Piatt can see no good reason why
a different Programme should be followed this
year.
From time to time throughout the day there
was Boruo desultory talk aboutTheodoro Roose
volt's Imom for (lovornor. but uo one secmod
to take the matter seriously. Every ono spoko
woll of Col. Roosevolt as a soldier and a attlzcn,
but as nothing has been heard from him per
sonally or from aov-one who wren authorised to
speak for him it w&a felt that all iIIscurbIou of
hts qualifications i-.s u candidate was futile at
the present tlmo. hlIo on tho subject, how
eer, tho opinion wan expressed that if It he
camo necessary to head tho State ticket this
fall with a soldier, cinlms tor tho place would
surely bo put forward by tho friends of both
Gen. Stowart L. Woodford, sow Minister to
Spain, and Ocn. Fredoriek D. Grant.
Mr. Whipple said thero was a misunderstand
ing concerning what was done in thoBrcond
Assembly Dlstrlet Convention of Cattaraugus
county when Col. Rooseelt's name was men
tioned there. Nothing, ho said, was further
from tho minds of the delegates than to Indorse
the candidacy of Col. Hoosovelt. The fact wns.
ho said, that onodolegato aro4 and moved that
the delegates be Instructed for Col. Roosevelt,
wherpupon tho Chairman said that tho motion
could not bo entertained. Inasmuch ns the con
vention had no information as to whether Col.
ltoosoelt wanted tun nomination or whether
he would accept it if it woreofferod to him. The
delegate then w Ithdrew his motion and the in
cident was clood.
Represontatlvo Wadsworth hnd little to say
abont the political situation, excusing himself
on the ground that he hid not beon back from
Cuba long enough to Inform himself, ne
laughed when asked If there was any truth In
tho story that ho was about to sook a commis
sion in the army with a viow of making a "war
record, so thnt ho would bo an available can
didate for Governor.
"That's the first I have hoard of it," ho said,
"but you need not hosltato to say that there Is
no truth In tho yam. If I go Into tho army it
-will be as n high prlvato."
Representative wadsworth was very willing
to talk about the war. and ho couldn't say
enough In praise of tho valor and fortitudo of
the American sordlers nt Santiago. Ho wont
over the whole lino with Oen. Joe Wheeler
boforo the snrrender of Santiago, and ho waa
surprised to find that our soldiers had not only
dug splendid trenches, hut that thny managed
actually to ranfce thomeoIcs comfortable, In
thorn, except during the tnrrlfic rainstorms.
Nopne. he said, who had not vlsltd the soone
could npprecluto tho difficulties with which tho
American soldiers woro obliged to contend.
"Col." Loi;llli. Jerome, who Is high np In
tho councils of tho Brookfleld-ftwayiio Ro'bub
lloan. was also n vlnltorat the Oriental yester
day, but ho did not call on Senator Piatt He
was chock full of tho plans of the kickers, nnd
he Intimated that his organization would bo
heard from beforo the campaign was over. He
said ha would press tho resolution to lndorso.
tho Citizens' Union candidates for the Senate
and Assembly at the meeting of the Swayne
ltes. which will ho held to-night at
Mott Memorial Hall. Tho resolution, r.s
It stands, favors tlio Indorsement of Citizens'
Union candidates, provided they aro Republi
cans. "Col " Joromo admitted that he thought
this was too broad. Ifn said he would moo to
amend It eo as to read " Republicans, provided
they nro fit." hen asked what his objeet wns
In Introducing such a resolution, "Col. Jeromo
said:
"I Introduced It In ordortoservonotleeon tho
Republican organization that we sro still slvo,
as well as to servo notlnj on the Citizens' iJnlon
that we aro with thoin In tholr fight for bettor
government."
"Col." Jeromo did not havo much to say
About tho roselutlon, which will also come up
to-night. Indorsing Gov. Black for renomlna
tlon. Although this resolution was Introduced
by Mr. Ken yon It Is well known that William
Brookflold wns Its real sponsor and he spoke In
faxorof It when It was first brought up In the
latter part of June. Mr. Brookflold has nlwa s
been a red-hot JJIaek roan, and when he beat

In the Twfpty-eenth Ass-mhly district, at

Mr. Brookflcld thlnkii tho Black resolution

In view of the recent clevolopmont In the State

Harrow Bteape from Death ot the Govern
ment Copper Btver Pnrty
Taeoui. Wash., July 24. Six mombors of
tho Government Coppar Btver exploring party
had a thrilling escape from death In the Low
niver cation late tn May. The story is told by
Mr. E. A. Popo ot Illinois, who Jotnod the ex
pedition aftor losing tils own outfit In an at
tempt to reaah the Copper River. The party
was directed by Capt. Abercromble to locato a
rummer route to the Copper River along an
old Russian trail. Aftor crossing the moun
tains they roaohed tho head waters ot Low
Blver. whloh they followed to Box Cation, thirty
mllos fromValdc, through which all the water
et the large basin Is drained Into Prince Wil
liam Bound. The eatlon ft alx miles long and
OTooktd, having granito walls that roach sky
ward BOO to 1.C00 feet. On May 27 they started
through the oafion with their equipment load
ed on a raft. Near the middle of the cation
thoy encountered rough water whloh nearly
wrecked them, and thoy finally fell ovor a 10
foot waterfall.
The raft was broken on the rocks and all on
board went under. Popo struck out for tho
right bank nnd reachod It. Tho others olunz
to pieces of the rott and reached shore further
down, hungry and wot. Then began the diffi
cult climb to tho top of tho lift. Tholr ex
po rlonces, although severe, wero easy compared
with Popo's. He found himself hemmed In by
perpendicular walls, through whloh ho saw no
avenuo of oscapeinless his companions should
return and lowor ropes to him. Without food
he struggled four days to keep warm by walk
ing along the narrow shelf of rook to whloh he
had climbed. All hope of resoue then loft htm,
and he determined to make a desperate at
tempt to savo hts life.
With alder bushes and thongs out from hla
rubber boots and leather trousors he made a
rope, which ho fastened to Jutting points and
snags above him. Aftor pulling himself up a
fow foot In this way ho would fasten the line to
another point abovo him. Thus ho climbed,
700 feet of almost perpendicular wall. The
balance of 800 fett was easier climbing. Ha
roaohed the top exhausted, but managed to
drag himself thirty miles to Taldcs, where ho
had beon given np as dead.

lln. a milkman of this village. Is minus ahorse
which he discovered yesterday momlng was
worth Its wotght in sliver dollars, and the un
fortunate part of It Is that no sooner had he ap
preciated tho unsuspected qualities of the beast
than an tnserutable Providence despoiled him
ot his treasure. Flelllnhod started out on his
early momlng rounds with his brimming milk
cans rattling In hts wagon whon two men ran
out from a clump of bushes and made for tho
horse's head. Whether they wore despemto

of the rden called to him:
" Hold up your hands."
" What do you want ?" asked Flellln.
"Bhutupnnd hold up your hands." was tho
reply, In a threatening tone.
The horso had stopped. AU milk-cart horses
stop upon tho slightest excuse, because It Is
their nature to. It the second man had been
content with that, the outcome might have been
different; but he reached for tho bridle, and at
the same Instant tho horse reached for him with
a much better roich. There won a crunching
Round ami a yell of agony as tho animal's power
ful jaws closed on tho man's arm.
"Getupi Goltl" shouted Flellln. grabbing
hts whip and using it vigorously, and tho horse
snrang forward, khocklng the man down. A
thunderstorm was coming up. nnd looking
bncli. the milkman saw by n lightning flash
the man lying In tho road with hU companion
bonding over him. He thinks the horse prob
ably crushed the man's arm.
Ton minutes later tho thunderstorm waa
raging violontly. Flellln went In to leave a can
of milk at tho house ot a customer, and as ho
turned away from the back pdrtfh there came a
trash that blinded htm and a peal ot thunder
that stunned htm for the moment. Recovering
himself ho went out to his cart and found a
dead horse between tho fallen shafts. Tho
lightning had killed his horse without touching

So tar as has boon learned Mr. Cutting has
recotved fow responses to his circular. Thero '
does not appear to bo much strength in a GUI- '
tens' Union movement In New York, Albany, ; f
Utlcn, Byracuso, Rochester, nnd Buffalo thuwt "
year. Persons who talked about Mr. Cutting's - '
circular yesterday recalled that tho Oltlzona' I
Union tn New York city was organized a year s r
ago In the Interest of Mr. Low as a candidate for .
Mayor of Greater New Ypfk. and thoy did
not understand that tho Citizens' Union waa
organized fpr tho purpnso of attempt- ' ,
Ing to orerthrow a Republican Legislature..,,.,
which Is to nomlnato a United States Sonator "J
in place of tho Hon. Edword Murphy. Jr.. of ' '
Troy, who voted several months ago for the .j
Teller resolution, which men it ffoo nllver and .
financial destruction generally. '
Next fall. also. Congressmen committed to
' sound money and high national principles aro n '
to bo elected. Home of the pooplo acquainted ,. '
with tho present complexion of tho Citizens' -
Union organization in New York city '
said that It was a mere shell anri that whon tho J
f:rcat principles of apartyin tho Stato or na- . ""
Ion wore lmohecl few men in the organization,
conld be lured to abiiqdon the defence of thorn. ' -k
The Cltlzons Union organisation, whether 'i
it be a shell or whatever it may he. lia1 throat- .
ened to nomlnato a full ticket of State officers, k
This wns two months ago Nothing hus boon -3
heard of the threat since that time. ' f
It Is known that tho Democratic mnnagors , s
hope with all their hearts thai tho Citizens' '
Union In New YonJc olty and elsewhoro will !i
nominate third candidates for thoBenato and A
Assembly, for tho reason that It has boon - r i
Shown for. a year or mow that hidden
away In ths CItlrens' Union there is a ?
candidate for United States Senator to suc
ceed Mr. Murphy. Joseph H. Choato's friends . .ii
have not given up all hopo of listening to his ,
melUfluonn eloquonce In tlio Sonnto ntWoah- 1
Inrton. The hope of the Citizens' Union move- r i
merit, in other words, as explalnod by those It
famlnar with what Is going on. is that i
by precipitating third candidates for the '
Senate and Assombly the Cltbens' Union will f
hold the balance of powor nt Albany next win- .
ter and dictate, possibly, tho soleetlon ot a h
united States Senator. Yet nt tho same time,
as already said; such a movemont may affect j
the completion ot the Congress delegation '
from the State. H

He aroused the enmity of Capt. Hhoqhan of ,
tho Tonderloln station, nud 11 vo weeks ago
Shoehan put Pollcoman Houghtallng In front
of the door every night to warn everybody that
the White Elephant had a bad repntatlon. ' JC
"You're likely to be robbed" was Houghta- f,
ling's clinching argumont, and In nearly overy ?

away and go to eome other frce-and-oosy ro-

Ellis said he was going to fight 'the police to f(
a finish. He had a big sign painted reading, ,;
"Palace of Perpetual Pleasure." He hired an 4
automatic piano for his ground floor and 1
Hungarian oarul for his smoking rooms up-
stairs, but the policeman's warnings, together t
with a disastrous fire, proved too muoh for i
him. At the start his receipts avcragod $250 t
anight. '
Last Baturday night two policemen were put
In front of the door. The cnshlor confessed la
an tingusrdnd moment that the receipts for the
week wmild not aggregate $r0. I.nst nlshtthe i
White Elephant was dark, and F.lfls appoared
at about B o'clock In front of tho plaeo. .
" Yoii can go home." hn said to Houghtallng, x
"I've elosed for the summer But I am going '
to open again on Bent. 15 and will give you all
the fight you want."
"That's a bluff." said Cant Shoehan whon ho 'j
heard of the elotlns. " no r closed for good. I i
will now go attor some of the others." I
