still at the Otsego county Jail under
the custody of Sheriff Orlo Brown,
but within a drey or two he will be
taken to Aubufn to begin his sen

years.
Frank J. Mangan of Binghamton,
N. Y., attorney for the defense,
spent July 4 with his client, when
the situation was thoroughly dis
cussed. Following this meeting, it
became known that Mr. Knapp will
in all probability discontinue his

received and placed on file.

THKKK TOWNS AUK HAITI.
! Hnllstcud, Gouldsboro and" Clark's
Summit Delighted nt "Humps"
1 Failure.
Hallstead, Gouldsboro and Clark's
Summit, three towns whose existence
Is threatened by the closing down of
their Lackawanna yards, are rejoic
ing over the news that the company
is having trouble In operating the
new Hampton yard. The "hump"
feature is what Hallstead especially
regards as a failure.
The "hump," which is a grade for
running cars down and distributing
them on their proper tracks, Is a new
feature In yard operations for Lack
awanna yard men. Consequently
the idea is giving' the yard officials
a lot of bother. The yard men ad
mit they are working as they have
never worked, but they hope that as
soon as they get an understanding
of the "hump" things will go along
smoothly.
John Mitchell Endorses Tener.
A special from Pittsburg says:
Before a crowd of 10,000 miners,
workingmen and citizens, at Char
leroi on the Fourth, John Mitchell,
former president of the United Mine
Workers, addressed Congressman
John K. Tener, Republican candidate
for governor, as the next executive
of Pennsylvania and besought him
to recommend laws that would safe
guard the worker.
Mr. Mitchell said he gave up the
pleasures of the day at home to ac
cept an invitation from his friend,
Congressman Tener, to address the
miners and citizens of Charleroi and
felt repaid for the effort.
TO FIRE CROKER?
New York, July 7. That Fire Chief
Edward F. Croker, more than ten years
in command of the fire fighting forces
of this city, who recently branded most
of his subordinates as narrow chested
cigarette smokers, is incompetent, a
bungler and unlit to remain at the head
of the department, is tho verdict of the
three subordinate olllcers who, with
Croker, have been Instituting nn in
quiry Into the lire at 110 Washington
street on June 0 last. In which two
firemen lost their lives.
Within a few days the report will
be placed In the hands of Fire Com
missioner Waldo who, even Chief Cro
ker's friends admit, is prepared to pre
fer charges and fix a date for trial in
the near future.
During the three weeks that the In
vestigation has been under way Croker
was had little or nothing to say about
it. He lias been ruled by his subor
dinates from the start and they have
been consistently supported by Com
missioner Wnldo, who Is generally U;
lleved to be determined to get rid of
Croker nt any cost.
Here are some of the things that
Croker's three subordinates, Deputy
Chiefs Lully and Langford and Bat
talion Chief Howe, charge him with:
Incompetence, neglect of duty, bad
management in directing the attack
on the Washington street lire and bad
Judgment in distributing the men, so
badly handling tho fire that lives were
lost, and that two alarms had to be
turned iu for a fire that ordinarily
would not have called for more than
one alarm.
The most serious charge of all, how
ever, Is that Croker ordered the water
Jower stream turned on In the front
of tho building and lines of hose In
the rear without notifying the compa
nies inside that the water was coming.
This, it is alleged, was the real cause
of the death of Firemen Healy and
Cotter, and not a back draught as stat
ed by Croker.
Practically the same charges that
are made against Croker are made
against Deputy Chief BInns, ids per
sonal friend, who was iu charge of tho
fire up to the time the chief arrived.
Battalion Chief Brogan, who was first
nt the fire, also Is severely criticised.
BLACK APPEALS CASE.
Asks Court to Compel County Court to

Robert J. Black, former mayor of Mc
Kcesport, who contests the rcuomlnn
tlon of Congressman John Dalzell In

mou pleas court from tho refusal of

that a recount would give his client

appeal under consideration.

TION TO MRS. YOUNG SAID TO
HAVK ENTERED INTO COMRI-j
NATION IN FAVOR OF SXYDKR.
Boston, July 7. Some decided opin
ions were expressed upon various mat
ters pertaining to education at several
of the departmental meetings of the
National Educational association con
vention, nnd a hot campaign is being
waged over the presidential election,
which will be held today. The opposi
tion to tho candidacy of Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young of Chicago Is reported to
have agreed to support Z. II. Snyder
of Greely, Colo., for the olllce.
A sharp attack wan made on the
Carnegie foundation by Wesley M.
Clifford, head of the commerce de
partment of the Southern High school
of Philadelphia.
"We are up against one of the big
gest monopolies In education that ever
existed, and It's the Carnegie founda
tion," he declared.
"Just the other day our school offi
cials had a conference with the presi
dents of the University of Pennsylva
nia, Swarthmore, Lehigh and the Penn
State colleges and nsked them whether
they would admit our boys. They ask
ed us If we taught forclgu languages,
and when we told them of the units
we had to offer they threw up their
hands and said that they could not
admit our boys because some of their
professors were members of the Car
negie foundation.
"That Is what we are up against n
monopoly. I am Interested In a broad
course of study. Chicago university
admits any boy who has studied con
scientiously for four years at a high
school without regard to what he has
studied, with some restrictions, of
course. That Is what we want. Don't
fool yourselves; there's a lot yet to be
done."

SHY OF CORPORATIONS.
Indiana Republicans Will Not Take
Their Contributions.
Indianapolis, I ml., July 7. The
finance committee of the Republican
state committee, nt Its llrst campaign
meeting, decided today not to accept
contributions to the Republican cam
paign fund from corporations.
"We realize," said State Chairman
Lee, "that the question of funds is a
serious one. We do not expect to raise
a large amount of money to run the
campaign. The state committee this
year started even nnd It hopes by bare
legged economy to break even at the
end."

ALL WERE ASHORE
New York. July 7. More than 1,200
persons are rejoicing today that they
had gone nshore before the old time
triple deck excursion steamer Grand
Republic, sister ship of the ill fated
General Siocum, caught lire yesterday
afternoon Just after she had crossed
Gruvesend Buy and was euteriug the
Narrows on the homeward run from
Rockaway.
At the llrst alarm her master, Cap
tain John Carmen, headed her full
speed for the nearest landing place
the dock of the Crescent Athletic club
ut tho loot of Eiglity-Ilfth street. Bay
Ridge, about a mile away. lie only
had a scanty handful of passengers
twelve women, four children and two
men and they behaved admirably.
The lire had started iu the galley on
the port side just aft of the huge dou
ble paddle boxes. It spread fast as
the antiquated old ark built in 1S7S
she was sped for land and safety. A
great black smudge rose from her
sides and poured out over the bay.
Her whistles sounded Incessantly.
The loat landed safely alongside tho
Crescent dock. The little group of pas
sengers who had been gathered for
ward away from the choking smoke
and tho heat marched dowu Impro
vised gangplauks In good order.
Fire engines and lifeboats had the
blaze out in an hour. The damage was
not very great. It was hie possibili
ties of what might have happened with
a boat of the Siocum type ntiro and
racing ucross open water that gives
Interest to the story.
Just before the tire was discovered
the Grand Republic had landed more
than 1,200 excursionists at Rockaway
Beach. Less than fifty persons were
aboard on the return trip and this was
considered fortunate, as tho blaze
might have caused a panic on a crowd
ed boat.

From ''Government's Partners."
Washington, July 7. Barrooms will
no longer be decorated with tho stars
and stripes if a movement started by
Sllnnehaha lodge, No. 1, Order of Good

reads:
"While tho connection between 'the

done lu the matter as long as the
United States government continues
Its partnership In tho business bj

the negro heavyweight champion of
the world, stepped oif the train here

demonstration were allowed the cham
pion when he stepped off his special
car at the Northwestern depot n little
after noon today, although hundreds
of negroes were present to give their
hero sioutancous greeting.
"Because of the danger of trouble
resulting from any formal demonstra
tion," said the chief of police, "I re
fused tho delegation that met Johnson
a permit for a parade or a band."
