EFFORTS OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND CROKER TO INJURE HEARST
ACT IN FAVOR OF THE CANDIDATE

Masses in New

“DICK” CROKER HAS
STOCKS AT STAKE
Murphy Declares That Tam
many Hall Only Did
What Was Right.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
New York, Nov. 2.—The event* of
today In New York politic* are the ca
blegrams of “Dick** Croker congrat
ulating McCarren on opposing Hearst
and the message of President Roose
velt, through Secretary Root, bitterly
assailing the Democratic candidate.
At Democratic headquarters it is
claimed by Chairman Jhpisen and other
leaders that Croker’* attempt from
Europe to Interfere in an organisation
that he deserted, will help, rather thart
hurt the cause, and Tammany leaders
declare Croker’s pronouncement is
harmless.
Croker Owns Much Stock,
BRYAN ASKS FRIENDS
TO VOTE FOR HEARST
New York, Nov. 2.—William J. Bryan,
In a letter to Borough President Bird S.
t’oler, which the latter made public
today, asked all hi* friend* in New
York state to vote for William R.
Hearst, the head of the Independence
League and Democratic ticket*. Mr.
Bryan’* letter wa* as follow*:
, “My Dear Mr. Toler:—I am very
anxious to see Mr. Hearst elected and
would have come to New York to help
If I had thought an outnlde speaker
would have been of assistance.
“From Indication*, however, he is.go.
Ing to win. a* he ought to. If I haVe
any friend* there I want them»to vote
for him. Yours, “BUYAN.”
"That should be enough for all Dem
ocrat* to aupoprt, Mr. Hearst solidly,"
said Mr. Tolpr. Some of Mr. Hearst’*
newspaper opponents ihust think the
people have Idst tlielr cense of humor
when they solemnly quote statements
of Croker and McCavren, those Ideal
'reformers.* . • V

FEWER CARS 70 MARIETTA;
BUT ONE AN HOUR DURING
BUSY PERIOD OF EVENING
Patrons of the Atlanta-Marletta elec
tric-line are up In arms against the ac
tion of the official* of the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company in cutting
down the schedule in the afternoon
when traffic is heaviest. A lengthy pe
tition bearing the names of hundreds
of putrons of the. road Is being sent the
rounds and will be offered the officials
very soon.
The new change effective November 1
calls for only two cars Instead of four

fact that Croker is in possession of | the schedule and frequency—or Infre
>750,000 of Interurban stock and, there
fore, an all too intimate friend of Ryan
and Belmont.
I think I may say truly that the
president's message has fallen flat in
the beginning. Almost frenzied eager
ness with which Mr. Roosevelt wished
a denunciation of the Democratic can
didate, the bitterness of his language,
and the intemperate fury of his in
junction to crush Hearst, will react in
favor of the editor.
President's Act Falls Flat.
The act of . the president in reviving
at this time the utterly absurd charge
that the reform agitations of Hearst
Inspired the bullet of Czolgoss that
slew McKinley,.is declared by the few
Impartial - men I meet to be unworthy.

men here to be too .Indeffnlto and radi

The people of Georgia can under-

abuse always reacts In favor of the
abused party, and the Hearst head
quarter* ure smiling broadly today at
the Interurban stockbpldor, Croker, of
London, and at the violent and intem
perate partisan In the White House.
They Wait for Htartt.
Last, night in the Ghetto I saw an
nndicnee of 4,000 Russian and German
Hebrews wait from 7:30 to 11:30 p. in.

with the exception of an extra car,
which will make one lonely trip to

Atlanta patrons, of the line will be
forced to take advantage of the ever-
sheltering arms of the Salvation Army
and warm their heels as best they can
In doorway* on Marietta street to keep
out of the chilling blasts of winter
while waiting for cars. No waiting
room lias been provided by the com
pany for the patrons of the line and a

An official of the company said
when asked for an explanation that,
the traffic did not Justify the 30-minute
schedule, and the number of cars In
service would be sufficient to carry all
the passengers. He knew of no ar
rangements, even In the remote future,
for the protection of the patrons of

of the bringing of divorce proceeding*

It Into the hands of the 'Japanese,
Roche was compelled to leave England.
The case I* to be tried In the Eng

the English courts do not recognize the
divorce which Mrs. Batonyl obtained ill

When seen today Mr*..Batonyl gave

I am constantly annoyed. I was

Paris, Nov. ,3.—t'ounteas Anna Lie
Caatellane was In conference today
with M. Cruppl, her chief counael, con-
alderlng whether or not aho would dis
close, In her suit for divorce against
Count Bonl, the names of those .women,
among the foremost In French titled
society, who she has an fur shielded,
und thus loose a furor of society xcun-
day such as has not been matched In
the existence of the republic.
It was the general belief, freely ex
pressed among the friends of Count
Bonl today, that he threatened to force
the countess to this step, an abhorrent
to her, because the families of the
women-ln question aye her friends, In
the hope that the threat will ecause
her to abandon the. divorce proceed
ings, and once again give him n hold
on the Gould millions.
Boni Makes a Threat.
Count Ilonl made the first move to
ward n show of carrying out this threat
which hus startled the Paris of the sa
lons and the boulevards when he turn
ed ovfr today to Ills wife’s lawyers
batches of letters from her to him
making plain the contempt In which
she held hhn.
These letters Joined the Issue. They
were a direct challenge. The only an
swer possible to them on the purt of
Countess Anna’s counsel Is the pro
duction In court of the letters from
the count to her provoking the an
swers. These lettors, It Is asserted,
would Immediately bring Into open
court the names of the titled society
women whom the countess thus fur
lies designated simply as "Madame
A," "Madame B," etc.
Ha Will Damand Namas.
The most astounding development of
the divorce proceedings thus far was
the fact that Count Bonl put In on de
fence, so convinced was.he that Ills
wife would falter at the Inst moment,
lie was. the most astonished man in
Paris when he learned of the detailed
case the countess had presented.
The count, It was said today, has, i
through his lawyers, notified counsel
I for the countess to further Ills threat'
i of exposure, that he will claim her
' case has hern "not proven" on the
I ground that the names of the women
whom the countess has spoken ot
merely with the letters of the ulphaliet I
were not disclosed. He Is privileged to 1
demand detailed and explicit evidence
under the French law.

iiiu’sc officer; known to hold ft

disguise ns lie was engaged, in
sketching certain of the fortifica
tions of Manila harbor. Tie was
promptly placed under arrest,
and steps trill he taken to' have
him deported.
A search of the young officer's
effects brought, to light several
well executed sketches of forts in
the island, on which wore annota
tions showing the arrangements
of guns, distribution of soldiers
stationed in each fort, aud gener
al comments on the effectiveness
of the denfenses.
Steps were immediately tkken
by the military authorities when
they learned of the arrest to see
that none of the officer’s drawings
shall gel out of the islands if they
have not already been sent. The
mails will probably be examined
to see if they contain any suspi
cious letters or documents being
scut to Japan.

the arrest lias caused a m eat sense-
Hen, especially In view of the amtatlon
now In profress In Japan against the

It Is not regarded us likely that other
