PITTSBURG, Dec. 27.—The Vot. era- League, which appears on the aurtaco In the sensational graft case ot the last week has decided to put up a candidate for mayor of Greater Pittsburg as well as candidates to oppose every councilman who haB been accused of grafting. Each of the seven councllmen now under ar rest Is a candidate to succeed him self, nnd the term of Mayor Guthrie Is now drawing to a close. Tho ignorance of some of tho Pittsburg councllmen Is shown by the statement made openly by some of them that tlA last week's up heaval was simply a move on the part of Mayor Guthrie to succeed himself In office. The mayor of Pittsburg cannot succeed himself. There Is nothing to hinder Mayor Guthrie from assisting In the pros ecution of the alleged grafters after he Is out of office. There Is a real feeling of regret among the honest taxpayers of Pittsburg that Mayor Guthrie cannot be elected to succeed himself. Were he to run for the ot- flee again Mayor Guthrie would urn doubtedly be elected, as he Is prob ably the most popular man In Pitts burg now, after having been rather unpopular for two years. Pittsburg Bees Corn ogle. Pittsburg hears that Andrew Ca- nogte was the "angel" who put up about 2150,000 in order to clean Pittsburg up morally. Tills cannot bo verified nor Is It denied by thoso who should know. Tho story told in the Duqucsne Club and tho Pittsburg Club Is that tho samo man wbo told Pittsburg conditions President Roosevelt also went Androw Carnegio and laid an array of facts before him. The result, ac cording to rumor, wns that he au thorised the expenditure of $150,- 000 lu detective work, etc. Ranks Arc Losers. It Is said that certain hanks In Pittsburg paid out 1176,000 to the grafting councllmen In order to get tlielr share of the city money. Mayor Guthrie Is out with a state ment admitting that this amount of money appears to havo been paid put, and he takes rather grim de light In announcing that not only will the banks loso the graft that has been paid out, but that they will also lose the city doposlts which they now have. His honor declares openly that the ordlnanco which permitted money to go Into these banks is now provon plainly to havo been passed through bribery and corruption, and according to tho law all ordinances thus passed are null and void when bribery shown to have been used. However, It Is safe to assume that these banks will not give up their deposits with out a battle, and there Is room for tho contention that bribery has not yet been proven. A trial must prove or disprove, and an effort will, bo nindo to lioid all moneys- until there Is some court .notion. AH Elluls Sensations Promised. The air is filled with rumor about coming arrests of bank officials, but It cannot bo said with posltlvencss that this Is true. It Is known, how ever, that certain bankers are tak ing no chances on bolng caught un awares. One bank president Is said to bo carrying a bond for 115,000 alroady made out, and he Is report ed to be carrying It even In the pocket of his night shirt when ho reltres at night. Tales of private orgies by the al leged grafting councllmen after coca haul are now coming to light, nnd certain hotels are likely to bo asked soon lo turn In their licenses. One of the detectives employed by the Voters' League became friendly with ono of the “Dig Six,” and It is said that he attended all tho meet ings as a bosom friend, and that be was even present at ono of the “splits” of money.

Mr. Emory Wlnshlp and Postmaster Harry Edwards returned last night from Augusta, where they attended a banquet given In honor of President-elect Wil liam II. Tift. Both declare that the occasion was an enjoyable and profitable gathering, as some of tho atate's most prominent men were present. Tho polit ical outlook in Georgia was tho theme of tho many table-talka. Regarding the speeches made by Mr. Wlnshlp and Mr. Edwa ls “ ards the Augusta "Lieut. ^Vlnshtp spoke as a democrat. However, lie paid high tribute to Judge Taft. He told of the sentiment, tradl- tlona and other Influences that bound a southern man to the Democratic party. For himself he was nut active In poli tics. He had not voted In Pear*. He wanted to hear both aides—all reasons— In politics. He wanted tho big men of American political life to mingle with tho people. Lieut. Wlnshlp Is very lib eral In his political views. Ills talk last night was very entertaining. lie lauded Judge Taft's judicial rulings and urged flint they be generally read by ull Amer icans."—-Chronicle. • "Mr. Wlnshlp. representing tho cl Macon, made a very urgent pica Judge Taft visit Macon, and while Judge Taft expressed every deslro to do so re gretted that he could not.

He de clared that a formidably strong Taft party could be formed in tho state, not wholly by proselyting, but by develop ment. Mr. Edwards made an impromptu talk, but the brief response was a fin ished and dear-cut effort."—Chronicle. "Mr. Harry Stllwell Edwards snoke along tho same lines os Mr. drier, as suring Judge Taft that a little better un derstanding of the people with -tho lend ers or the Republican party like 111 self, would undoubtedly cause even party like him- larger vote than watTpolled for him in tho last election."—Herald.

For yenrs this capable young actress has been In parts where her powers of chanieterisation have been thoso mainly drawn upon, while since sho appeared as Juliet In the famous "all-star"* re vived of tho Shakespearean tragedy five years ago. she lias hnd tio part In which her emotional nhlllty was culled upon for tho dominant note of her Im personation. As Vera, Miss Robson ap' ? rarn ns a ^oung woman, born up New ork state of a Jlno of spiritualistic me diums. Q.ist upon .tho world Without means, she fulls into the hands of a group of adventurers, who, while they treat her well enough, tnnko unscrupu lous uso of the powers with which she Is possessed. It Is only thd Inherent honesty of tho girl, the nobility of her character, that prevents -the schemes of lhls rascally bond from effecting tho misapplication of an immense fortune. In the sceno whoro Vera, Is forced to turn upon those who nave befriended her. In order that t*nctr vlllalnlv should not b«n.r fruit, Miss Robson is given opportunities .that will once more incus uro her as an actress. "Vera, the Medium," Is a drama of Ideas. It Is a problem play In which the sexual triangle has found no place. In It Mr. Davis has entered a field us yet unexplored by dramatic pathfind ers. Novel ns the play Is. Its presen tation Is still more startling.

FOR THEIR HEALS DUSTJEAK ROCK HODOVS REQUIRED TO DO HALF DAY'S WORK FOR WHOLE DAY'S FOOD. with tho hobo problem, Commissioner Robert W. Uebberd, of the department of public charities, has started on Black well's Island a floaters' colony, that Is modeled on the same lines as those con templated In the measuro that ho hopes to seo passed at Albany. JIIs schetno is to make all those ap plying ut tho municipal lodging house to do hulf a day's work for a full duy'i for work. Tho new experiment began on last Monday. Out of tho 800 guests of the municipal lodging house, Mr. Uebberd chose ten men to go ovor to Black well's Island and Justify the two meuls and night's lodging they hud received by working out tho equivalent on the stone heap. No compulsion wns put upon tho men, throe of whom promptly reneged. The others went over, broke stone nil tho forenoon, came back for tlielr luncheon, and spont the rest of tho day huntlmi for Jobs. Tho next day twenty men went over In addition to tho seven of tho day before. On Wednesday forty men were tuken. nnd yesterday, out of fifty conscripts, thirty-seven dhl tho stunt. After the boat had sailed there were four more volunteers. Today Mr. Uebberd will test the sincerity of thoso who prof fer themselves by culling for recruits be fore the boat starts. Matter of Conscience. Tho only material reward tiro men go*, for their labor Is tho consciousness that they have returned to tho city full vulue received for the two meals and lodging they havo already enjoyed, plus an addi tional meal nt noon. In addition, the mllnk that nny applicant who cornea for relief to tho municipal lodging house more than three times mny be committed as a vagrant is suspended In their favor. As tho scheme Is now worked the men are tuken euro of for a week. At the end or that time If they have not yet found a Job they must take tlielr chances of being committal! for vsurancy along with the other habitual recipient* or " city’s bounty. Meantime Commissioner Heblrord poet* great things for the roads of tho island from Ids new scheme. There Are now on tho Island about five mile* of roads, all of which are In a disrepute!)! condition. The stono that those men break will ho used to restoro the cause way* In a manner which tho ordinary city appropriation will not allow. If Mr. Hobberd’s bill for stato farmi goes through the legislature this tempo rarv atone breaking colony will bo con sol Ida tod with the largor enterprise. At present tho prospects for Mr Uebberd' bill look very bright Throe cf tho rail roads operating In this stale, the Now York Central, the Erie nnd the Delaware, lAu-kawanna and Western, have person ally assured Mr. Uebberd of their sym pathy with the purpose of the hill nnd have promised their active support. Railroads Interested. Tho railroads are 'Interested by reason of the fact that If the farms fulfill their purnoso tho heavy losses which tho rail roads now suffor from tho depredations of tramps will, in largo measuro, ho abolished. Tho drainage on tho railroads. It appears, comes not only from robberies which tiro tramps commit, nnd which uro estimated at $25,000,000 annually the country over, but also from the occasion al deaths which occur during their sur reptitious travel*. Most of the railroad* In Now York now have prlvuto grave- ynrds for the burial of tramps who are Killed while taking a ride on the brake beams? nnd this expense alono Is very heavy. Homotlmes, moreover, the local coronor discovers one of these bodies and the resulting expense to the railroad Is not less than $100 a enno. If Commissioner Ilehberd’s hill p«a*e«. on tiro other hand, t liege trngips will be at onco picked up and confined to a stale farm until they havo been taught how to earn a livelihood. Gathering the Trampe. Tho tramps will be gathered In I wo ways. One Is by the agency of a sla'e police, which the bill. If passed, will create for the purpose of enforcing the law with relation to vagrancy nnd habi tual drunkenness. Others will bo sent away ui the Instance of tho officers of tho municipal lodging house. Hy t»- time the bill goes Into effect there wul be two of these Institutions In thin city.

With him out of tiro wuy Uro rlty will be aide to accommodate In Its two lodging houses about 1,500 of tiro hon estly poor, and it Is anticipated that these provisions will take cure of the floating population for about ten years to come. The new lodging house will be of six stories, built of brick and stone, fireproof throughout and capable of lodg ing 1,000 persons. The new fumigating plant, which costs $2n.000, Is expected to save tbe city $1.000 000 yearly by pn venting tho spread of dlsenso. heretofore compiled with city ordinances ■Miring a certain percentage of butter HMiand’totol solids, the lack of preser vatives and adulterants. But these tilings In themselves are not enough. I Beyond lies the greatest menace, that of dirt, disease, bacilli, and high hacterlsi count, all of which lids semi-opaque fluid conceals from the naked eye. There are |nearly 2,000.000 quarts of fluid milk dis tributed In Greater New Yoik dally, and It Is conservatively estimated that thlsl ) contains upwards of too pounda of ure and dltr loaded with disease.i bacteria, and foul matter and sedlmct.
