DKNVEJR, December 28.?The last vestige of opposition to the election of Simon Guggenheim to succeed T. M. Patterson In the T'nited States Senate disappeared last night when Representative R. W. Bonynge left for Washington after announcing his withdrawal from the Senate race. Bonynge was Guggenheim's most forml- I d:l I ilt' itftnoRPirr anfl hil^l Kiw.nr hia li.Mi.iaiv 1 vacation In a vigorous canvass of thj legislature and party leaders. He said before leaving that he found the sentiment for Guggenheim so nearly unanimous that he had given up all idea of having his name mentioned. Mr. Guggenheim will be the unanimous choice of the republican caucus. He announced yesterday his withdrawal from all connection with the American Smelting and ru-tiniiig Company and that he will give much time hereafter to Colorado enterprises in wliicU he is interested. DENIED BY_MR. RASIN Baltimore Mayoralty Rumor Denounced as False. LEADER HAS NO CANDIDATE Has Not Talked With Hubert on Municipal Contest. BLOW TO LATTERS CHANCE Declared That Rumors Were Started to Injure Him?"Boss" Will Not Assume Responsibility. BALTIMORE, December 2S.?Mr. I. Freeman Rasin yesterday denied In the most emphatic manner a report that he had asked Mr. John Hubert to become a candidate for the democratic mayoralty nomination and had assured him of the support of the democratic organization. "It is absolutely untrue," said Mr. Hubert when asked concerning the report that he had visited Mr. Rasin at his home last Sunday night. "I was not at Mr. Rasln's home either last Sunday night or any other night. I did not go out of my own house all day Sunday. I have not been up town in three weeks, and I hardly know where Mr. Kasin lives. He has not asked me to be a candidate for the mayoralty and T have had no conversation with him on the "As to whether or not I will be a candidate I cannot say. A number of my friends have been urging me to come out for some time, but it is a matter that requires mature consideration, and 1 have not made up my mind." "Hubert In False Position." Mr. Rasin said: "The report is false from beginning to end, and Is malicious as well. The whole thing was cooked up for the purpose of putting John Hubert in a false position and lugging me into this fight as the issue. 1 haven't talked to Mr. Hubert on the mayoralty question and he was not at my house Sunday night or any other time. "This story is on a par with the one that I had attempted to get Judge Harlan into ii.e neiu una tnat l was ror Sherlock Swann and for Bruce. They have had me for half a dozen candidates In the last six months, and they have had out two or three different organization slates. If there Is an organiation slate I don't know about It. "These things come from people who never support any democratic candidates, and who, when they can't get anything else to say about the democratic nominees, go out and shout about them being 'Ra?in'? candidates' and having been 'put tip by Rasin.' They have been playing this Kind or game so often that I should think every halfway intelligent maiftxrould see that the whole business is in the iiWerest of the republican party. Cry of ''Rasin's Candidate." "Here is a man like John Hubert, whose name has been on the streets in connection with the mayoralty for several weeks. A strong sentiment is gotten up for him in East Baltimore, and the minute it looks as if the party people were going to him the cry is raised that he Is Rasin's candidate and that I a-skfd him to come out. The whole thing is done for the purpose of putting the candidate, whoever he may be, in a false position and lugging me in to bear the brunt of the fight and bapliammered and blackguarded and villified ttirough the campaign. "If sentiment develops back of any other man, no matter who he Is, they will say I put him up, or that I asked him to get in, ! or that he is my man. What these people always want is to nominate the weakest democratic candidate and the strongest republican candidate, and no matter who is named, you can count on them being back jf the republican ticket. "I said long ago that I wasn't going to have any candidates this spring, and I meant what I said. I haven't made an effort to get anybody in the field or anybody out. So far as I am concerned I don't care who Is In or who la out. In the primaries L am going to exercise my choice just as any other democrat has a rigiit to. but if anybody thinks I am going to be responsible for this fight or for the candidate he is mistaken. That's all there is about it. "I am tired of denying lies printed about me, and this Hubert business is a pack of lies from start to finish. I will make my r-hoice in the primaries, but I am not bringing out any candidates." Strong- in East Baltimore. It has been understood for some weeks" that Mr. Hubert has had under consideration the question of announcing himself as a candidate for the mayoralty nomination. Many of the prominent democrats of East Baltimore are enthusiastic for him, and the statement has been made that he would carry the first ten wards by an unprecedented majority. Mr. Hubert has always been a regular democrat. Most of the politicians agree that under present political conditions in the city no candidate who can be attacked as an absoInolv "Rnsin cflnrHrlnti" run ht> Thn supporters of Mr. Hubert, therefore, contend that the report that he intended to announce himself at the request of Mr. Rasin and after a visit to the house of that leader was designed to put him out of the running. The report was current in political circles during the day. SWINDLED JEWELERS. Young Man From Virginia Admits Passing Bad Checks. PATERSON, N. J., December 28.?Eugene E. Lang, a well-dressed young man, giving his home as Manchester, near Richmond, Va., was. arraigned before Recorder Noonburg this morning on a charge of disorderly con-duet. He was sent to jail for ten days and will probably be turned over to the police of Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth or New York, as he has, by his own confession, passed worthless checks on jewelers in those cities. He was arrested last night while attempting to pass a check on Paul Rubin, a jeweler at 17 Main street. Rubin suspected htm and telephoned to the police. Detectives Lord and Keppler arrested Lang as he was boarding a trolley car. Lang offered Rubin"a checfc for on the Union County Trust Company of Elizabeth. T*ll? -V *\0\KlK1o A \f n r*H C! 1 nc Olicvriva vtcic uinuc yajw-uic iw Barr and were signed E. E. Schmitz. Lang in his confession says that he attended college in Baltimore, and that his father is a wholesale lictuor dealer. He confessed to passing a worthless check on Sgtimnd Mvstor of Montgomery street, Newark, and another on a jeweler named Ceiebrano of Elizabeth. He also admitted defrauding jewelers in Jersey City and New York. Czar Turner, a twelve-year-old negro, died last night in Memorial Hospital, Richmond, Va., from a bullet wound inflicted by another negro in a Christmas day scuffle. It is thought by the police that a brother of Turner tired the shot. BEADY FOR CONGRESS MB. MADDEN FINISHES PROPOSED CAR-FAMINE RELIEF LAW. CHICAGO. December 28.?Congressman Martin B. Madden has held conferences with Levy Mayer, counsel for the Manufacturers' Association, while at home in Chicago for the holidays, and the finishing touches have been put on a bill providing for reciprocal railway demurrage. Mr. Madden intends to introduce the measure as an amendment to the interstate commerce act soon after the reconvening of Congress. Mr. Madden believes President Roosevelt and the interstate commerce commissioners are in sympathy with the objects of his measure, and he hopes the President will rofor it in tHr> mnccairo nr\ tho ?>ar chnrf age which it Is reported he will send to Congress. The bill sets forth that it Is the duty of common carriers to provide suitable facilities for handling shipments with reasonable dispatch. What is meant by reasonable dispatch is shown by the requirement that when a shipper has asked for a less number than twenty-five cars it sha'l be the carrier's duty to provide them within three days, and if more than twenty-five cars within ten days. If the carrier fails to do this it shall forfeit to the shipper $1 per car for each day's delay, and shall be liable for all damages suffered by the shipper and for the costs of any suit he may have to bring to recover indemnity. Provides for Demurrage. The bill gives shippers forty-eight hours In which to load cars after delivery. If held longer than this demurrage at the rate of $1 a day per car is given the carrier. If the., shipper orders cars which he does not use, the carrier is entitled to $1 a day per car for all the time they are kept out of Its possession. Consignees of shipments are to have forty eight hours' free time in which to unload goods after delivery. They must pay $1 a day per car thereafter unless delay In releasing shall be due to the fault of the railroad. stress of weather, or other casualty. If the carrier "bunches" cars, instead of delivering them day by day as ordered, the bill provides that it shall not be entitled to demurrage if the consignee Is unable to unload promptly. The movement in favor of the bin Is expected to gain impetus at a national convention of shippers to be held in Chicago on Friday, January 4. The promoters of the movement say they have good reason to be lieve a reciprocal demurrage law will be favored by President Roosevelt. LIVING EXPENSES DOUBLED. McAndrew Talks About Discrepancy Between Wagres and Incomes. SYRACUSE, December 2R.?Prof. William McAndrew, principal of Washington Irving High School of New York city, made a report on the question of wages and the cost of living at the meeting of the New York State Teachers' Association today. He figured the increase In the cost of living since 18U8 In part from these comparative prices: Eggs, 2S cents a dozen, now 41 cents; butter, 24 cents a pound, now 30 cents; meat Increased from 40 to 50 per cent; potatoes 100 per cent, and coal 40 per cent; clothing increased from 20 to 40 per cent; rents from At\ * ~ C/l ? J xv uu erf pci ccui, wtvgco ui uttrpeuicru UIIU other trade workerR from SO to 120 per cent, and medical service from 50 to 00 per cent. Bxperts estimated, Mr. - McAndrew said, that the general increase in living since 1898 was 00 per cent. Bradstreet's gave it as 50 per cent, but the report took the lowest estimate as a basis?that of F. B. Stevens, which was 40 per cent. The increase in the cost of living for teachers from 1898 to now was placed at $3,900 to $5,400 for a man, and from $1,100 to $1,000 for a woman. The net results were, Mr. McAndrew said, placing the increase m^wages at 29 per cent, and the increase ln"~the cost of living at 40 per cent, that the teachers were 17 per cent worse off than they were before. "The trusts," he said, "regulate the cost of what you buy, and the labor unions the cost of what you hire. "A coachman gets $.",00 a year to care for four horses, and a teacher, who cares for forty children, gets $360 a year. Where trained nursing and manj; trades bring the worker $3 a day. a teacher in Mexico gets (fi ppiits a dav." Men with families cannot afford to be teachers, and while Mr. McAndrew thought that in an educational assemblege "the discussion of money was as distasteful as a discourse on a disordered stomach at a Browning club," he urged the teachers to come to an agreement by which an effort might be made to increase their salaries. All of the various state educational associations held sessions here today, among others the Associated Academic Principals, the Grammar School Principals and the State Teachers' Drawing Club.

He rode rough-shod over the followers of Mayor Mc-Clellan and achieved the distinction of lx-:n?r cheered many min utes by the very men whom he was excluding from membership in the organization. While Mr. Murphy triumphed without imposition in the general committee friends of Mryor McClellan tried to upset his program in the meeting of the executive committee. which preceded that of the general committee. They succeeded in mustering only two votes, however, those of Maurice f\f tho ta'PntlMih fl.n*1 Francis J.

Surprise at Ease of Victory. Even Mr. Murphy's friends did not expect the program would be carried ou't with such ease. They were prepared for a bitter struggle and plans for the meeting had been formulated with elaborate care to make sure that Mr. Murphy's plans should not miscarry. John T. Oakley was named for temporary and permanent chairman, and he lost no time In putting the program through. Opposition was expected when Thomas ] r. ofiliui, acvfcini jr *.?i ints announced that all contests against delegations elected In the last primary election had been referred to the general committee, to be sent to a committee on contested seats when appointed. For a moment Mr. Oakley hesitated, but no voice was raised in protest and in a few moments the 2^<X> members of the committee packed In the hiall were cheering Mr. Murphy. Announced Contests. Mr. Smith then announced contests in the seventeenth, nineteenth and thirtieth districts, and Benjamin J.

It is understood that v final action on these contests will be delayed until after the next primary election, so that the three McClellan men will be prevented from taking their seats.
