Alonzo B. Fox, of Burlington, N, J.,
wants to brlnpr his "silent rlflo" nint
belt of "adamantine cattrldgos" over to
Philadelphia and open sanguinary war
fare on tho pigeons that flutter about
City Hall,
He has written tilrcclor Porter placlnc
his skill as a rllleman at the disposal
of tho city. Fox stands ready to "sin
up" with Director Porter In a contnu t
to shoot every last pigeon that ever
dropped a feather lit City Hall court"
yard,
This Is what Vox told the director In
tho letter:
"A short time ago t read an account of
s. suggestion to get rid erf the pigeons
around the Public Buildings. While It la
no small matter to get rid of them, I
would llko to offer my services along thts
line, and If It meets with your appioval
plcaso let me hoar from you.
"When I was n boy of 10 years I wa3
engaged to rid the cathedral nt isth and
Race streets of this same nuisance, which
cost hundreds of dollnrs rvrv spring.
Thomas Burns, the Janitor at that time,
secured me for this service. My grand
father, who was supervisor of tho Water
Department of the Otl District, tinder
Frederick Graff, and who was a un
known citizen of the 10th Ward, lived on
the northwest corner of SOth and Sum
mer streets: his namo was Simiicl M.
Fox. He secured for mo the privilege
of using my silent rllle on the street
about the church from the lieutenant of
police at 13th and Filbert streets,
"My agreement with them was that
they furnish the ammunition, glvo ma
free access to their building, pay mo $1
for each pigeon killed, but t had to get
tho last pigeon, which I did. I killed 01
birds In three weeks ar.d received $31.
"The ball I uso Is an adamantine cart
ridge, and will not destroy the stone on
the buildings, and t will be responsible
for any loss or accidents that may occur.
"If you are considering onterlnc Into
any agreement, I would bo glad to sign
up with you."
THE OFFICIALS ACT.
After reading the letter. Director Porter
recalled what the Society for tho Pro
tection of Cruelty to Animals and a few
thousand citizens said when tho sug
gestion to exterminate tho pigeons was
made n few weeks ago.
Then ho hustled over to Director Cooke's
ofllce and the two cabinet members read
in unison Kox's description of his
prowess with tho rifle.
"Some shooter." said Director Cooke.
"I think tho pigeons come under the
head of City Property," said Director
Porter to Director Cooke, "and. In that
case It's up to you to answer this Iettor."
Director Cooke buing unable to classify
tho pigeons satisfactorily In the Public
Safety Department accepted the commis
sion and today wrote the following1 letter
to Mr. Fox, of Burlington:
"It Is very good of you to write as you
do under date of October M, offering your
assistance In the matter of exterminating
the pigeons at tho Citv Hull. Your past
record In pigeon shooting, as stated In
your letter, shows you to be some
shooter.
"I have no thought, however, to do
away with the pigeons On the contrarv,
wo are very glad to havo them with us.
They afford a good deal of amusement
and pleasure to people who frequent tho
neighborhood of tho City Hall. I am quite
sure that any move to harass them would
bo resented. In order to make these birds
more comfortable In their occupancy of
tho City Hall, and to make It unnecessary
for them to nest In the scales of Justice
nnd other sculptured decorations of the
building, we have recently placed some
comfortable cotes on the roof.
"If your silent rifle shooting adaman
tine cartridges could bo used on certain
real nuisances which wo have In Phila
delphia, with as much success as It has
evidently been used on pigeons, I would
predict a big uso for it."

J. DENNY O'NEIL COMES OUT
AGAINST PENROSE CANDIDACY
Pittsburgh County Commissioner
Says Rum Will Not Rule State.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 23. .1. Donny
O'Xell, County Commissioner of Alle
gheny County, elected on the Republican
ticket, has corns out against Senator
Penrose, declaring his belief that tho
t-enatrr cannot carry moro than threo
counties west of tho Schuylkill River. A
statement given to the Kveni.vo Lcnonn
today follows:
"The sentiment against Penrose In tho
western part of the State Is growing;
by election day It will havo assumed tho
proportions of a tidal wave. I do not
bellevo that he will carry more than
thrco counties west of the Susquehanna
Itlvcr.
"In the western part of tho Stato Ten
rose Is not a political Issue, but rather
a moral Issue. Many Organization Re
publicans will not support him since they
havo come to understand that his Per
sonal Liberty ticket was placed In tho
Held for tho purposo of defeating all dry
candidates upon tho Republican ticket. I
have been Informed that the Personal
Liberty ticket was placed In the field to
secure tho votes of the liquor dealers
for Tenrose, as the liquor dealers de
clared that if they could not have any
local wet candidates to vote for they
would not voto at all.
"The attempt on the part of a few
corporations to force their employes to
voto for Penrose his reacted nnd will
have tho opposite effect. It Is an Insult
tn the intelligence of the voters to say
that the future prosperity of this great
State can be Influenced by any single in
dividual and the voters all know that
Penrose's cry of soup houses and panic
is raised to intimidate the voters.
"Senator Penrose has done moro to
ward making Pennsylvania dry than al
ether causes combined. In order to
further his Interests he has Induced the
saloons and brewers to organize and so
into politics as a body. By doing so he
has made the saloons a State Issue and
the people of this State will not stand
for ram rule.
"J. DENNV O'NEIL,
"Counts" Commissioner."
Mr. O'Neil has always been a stanch
Republican and the greatest vote-setter
that Senator Oliver ever bad.
He carried Allegheny County for

PREDICTS TRANSFER
OF WORLD'S MONEY
MART TO NEW YORK
Financier of That City Tells
Hardware Men Branch
Banks in South America
Will Be Opening Wedge.
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 2).-Trnnsfcr-lii
the money capital of the world from
London to Now York Is contemplated In
the movement back of the opening of
American branch banks In South
Anioilc.1, W. T. KIch, of the National
City Bank of Now York, declared bc
frte tho American Hardware Manufac
turcis' Association hnre today. In dls
cutsintr plnns'oT hls'ln's'tltutlon to open
In Buenos Aires during tho coming
month the llrst American branch bink
outside tho country, tho New Yorker
said:
"Branch hanks will perform the func
tions of a regular bank In this country
so far as permitted by tho regulations
of the Federal Rcservo Board. New
York will bo mado tho money market for
South America. American bills will be
paid in dollars In Now York Instead of In
pounds stcillng on London.
"London has been the money market
of the world for ages, and business Irt
U rests of tho country must help In this
movement. New York cannot become n
financial city of world importance until
tho dollar becomes known In all tho
markets of tho world. The building up
of a discount market will help to solve
tho problem of long ci edits. The work
wo have undertaken will of necessity do
volop slowly. Tho bank Is doing pioneer
work. American manufacturers seeking
to enter tho South American field must
upproacli it In tho tamo coniei vatlve
manner. Prollts must not be expected
the llrst year.
"To develop successfully this new
market will requite a degree of co-opera-tlon
nnd co-ordination heretofore un
known," Mr. Klcs continued, deploring
the refusal of Americans In Buenos Aires
to organlzo a board of trade for fear It
might help competition.
"If trade opportunities nro developed
persistently and diplomatically," ho said,
"this eur, marked In history by the
greatest tragedy of civilisation, will be
ti'cd In our own history ns tha year In
which tho foundations for the future
commercial supicmney of tho United
States worn firmly laid."
"In tho future the major pait of the
money for tho development of Iitln
America must como from tho United
States," said John Barrett, director gen
eral of tho Pan-American Union. "The
bogey that tho Latin-American coun
tries are necestarlly lands of revolution
and Instability 1ms licon, I hope, smashed
forever. In duo time thorn will bo a de
velopment even In the tropical belt that
will astonish tho woild."
Fells H. Levy, New York, a former
special counsel for the Department of
Justice, In tracing tho history of anti
trust legislation "from the tlmo when
Standard Oil stood up the Pennsylvania
Railroad and exacted secret rebates llko
a fooipud." id it was grutiiving to
Know that legitimate business had nothing
to fear from the new legislation cnaited
at tho Instance of tho Wilson Administra
tion and modified to meet tho views of
business mou.
"It Is cltar," he said, "that tho Trade
Commission will furnish a prompt and
rcudily accessible method for, nbtertaln
ing whether or not particular acts are
luvvful or unlawful. The dual result of the
Clayton unti-trust act Is clearly to dis
tinguish the general business community
from trusts."
The New York expert on business legls
latlon regretted that Congress had not
seen fit to mltigato the severity of tho
Sherman law.

lor Plnchot. I wroto to him In substance!
That tho Indorsement of McCormlck was
a surprise to mo sthat tho last tlmo I
had seen Lowls and Van Vnlkehburg
they told mo they did not bcllovo tho
action would be tnken, nnd that Plnchot,
) know, had been against tho action
being taken
"I state, however, that In all theso lo
cal matters I stood by tho decision of
the Progressive leaders who wcro re
sponsible In tho State, nnd that I should
support tho action that had been taken
In Pennsylvania.
"I think but I am not certain, that I
also said, either In this letter or In some
other letter, that I would personally pre
fer to seo Lowls continue, but that I
did not know enough ot tho Btibject to
express any final Judgment and had en

ever action the Pennsylvania Progres

"As soon ns wc get to Now Y'ork tho

fdnco he has done so I am delighted to
have It published."
VOTERS REALIZE ISSUES
"It has beon a great trip," said tho
Colonel In discussing his four days of
whirlwind campaigning In Pennsylvania.
"I am moro pleased than I can say
with tho tour," ho continued. "And It Is
hot only with the enthusiasm and size
of the nudlenccs; It Is the clearness with
which tho Issues aro understood.
"Tako the worklngmon, tho farmers and
tho business men In tho towns, big and

Is a great light for decency nnd clean

and corruption,
corruption.
"They understand that tho kind of
prosperity which Pcnroso promises them
Is tho prosperity that comes to a wide
open city with a red-light Mayor, and
they aro against that kind of prosperity
becauso In tho first place it Is vicious,
and In tho next plnco It Is not real pros
perity at nil. They know that Gilford
Plnchot stands for tho squaro deal nnd
for the honest prosperity nnd that
through It wlso and honest government
will bo permanently secured to all honest
men."
Tho Colonel got out of bed to speak
for a mlnuto to 500 persons waiting for
him at Tyrone, whero today's trip
started. When ho was told the crowd
was calling for him, Roosevelt thicw
an overcoat over his shoulders, and did
not oven stop to comb his hair before
resuming his denunciations of I'cnrose.
"Good morning," ho said to tho crowd,
as ho waved his hand to them. Then ho
urged them, ns ho has t urged ncaily
100,000 other people who havo heard him
since ho Invaded Pennsylvania, to "smash
Penrose."
At Mt. Union 500 greeted him. nnd ho
talked for a few minutes to tho sumo
number nt Lowlstown Junction. Largo
crowds turned out at Mlflllti, Newport
and Duncannon. At Mt. Union a large
banner was displayed, which read, "Col
onel Roosevelt, Mt. Union Likes You."
Fully 12,000 persons managed to crowd
Into the 13th Regiment Armory In
Scrnnton Inst night, nnd thero was
enoutth enthusiasm at first to satisfy even
hard-fighting Teddy.
Mrs. Maxwell Chapman, n woman suf
frago speaker, forced Roosevelt to launch
Into a discussion of partnership between
men nnd women by bluntly demanding of
tho Colonel, who followed her on thu
platform, that ho plead tho cause of
woman suffrage. Tho Colonel did so.
The Lnckawanna County Washington
party organization sold many of the scnts
In tho Armory for tho meeting und staged
a program which Included tho singing of
tempcrnnco songs, preceding Roobovelt'a
address. The Colonel Joined In the chor
uses with the audience.
Mr. Roosevelt announced nt the Scran
ton meeting that before November 3 ho
would send a message owr his own sig
nature to every voter In Pennsylvania.
Ho branded Penroso ns being as much of
an International figure as Tammany.
"Tho gunmen ot tho underworld nnd
tho gunmen of high flnnnco have como
together In support of him," said tho ex
I'resldeut. "You seo the distillery
nnd the Fnlqon, that Is Its agent. Joining
with Individuals who claim eminent re
spectability and who represent the special
Interests In tho support of Penrose."
PENROSE BROKE FAITH

R. 31. Quay Had Ills Promise Not to
Discuss Roosevelt Communication.
PITTSBURGH, rn., Oct. SO. R. R.
Quay today made It plain that Colonel
Roosevelt in any lotter ha has written
to Quay has not even remotely Indicated
a wish to rid the Progressive movement
In Pennsylvania of William Plliin.
Beyond a definite statement to this ef
fect Mr. Quny declined to (Uncus the
matter, pending Colonel Roosevelt's au
thorization to do so.
Quay's comment on Fllnn was prompt
ed by a statement Penroso Is ci edited
to have made In HarrUburg last night,
that Quay had told him Roosevelt's let
ter expressed a wish to rid the party
of Fllnn.
Quay and Fllnn are now political ene
mies, and Quay said he gave tho assur
ance, not for Fllnu'a sake, but in Jubtico
to Colonel Roosevelt.
Roosevelt has refused Quay's permis
sion to publish the letter, which Is In
reply to one Quay sent Itocwevelt, pro
tecting against FUnn's bundling of the
Progressive movement In Pennsylvania.
"There Is nothing In tho letter," said
Quay today, "which I think Colonel
Uoosevelt would mind having published,
but thai is for him to say."
Incidentally It developed that Penrose,
when he mentioned the letter at all,
broke fulth with Quay, huln given liU
word that he would not make any public
use whatever of what had been a private
conversation between the two when Pen
rose was In Pittsburgh.
