EFFORTS OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND CROKER TO INJURE HEARST ACT IN FAVOR OF THE CANDIDATE Editor Is Idol of the Masses in New York. “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 : . % j 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 . , . . .. , . /ion the 30-minute schedule from 4 The American today disclosed tlici j o'clock until 6:30 o’clock. This reduces 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. •»f Roosevelt, and is declared by all men here to be too .Indeffnlto and radi cal to do any harm. The people of Georgia can under- ’ stand how violent and Ill-founded 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. for the appearance of the Democratic loader. In the interim they cheered to the echo every allusion to free gov ernment, the American (lag and pure politics. queney—of cars to only one an hour, with the exception of an extra car, which will make one lonely trip to Marietta and back between 4 and 0 o’clock. 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 prospective passenger protects himself from the elements as best he can under the circumstances. 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 this line. IP OFFICER CHS PLANS OFUiFORTS Man Is Arrested by Authorities at Manila.

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. OOOOOODOOOOOOOOOODOOOOOOOO O MAYOR TOM J0HN30N O RUN8 A TROLLEY CAR.

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. fn military amt gdi'crnnient circle* the arrest lias caused a m eat sense- Hen, especially In view of the amtatlon now In profress In Japan against the United Slates because of the discrim ination shown Japanese school chil dren In Ban Francisco.
