New York, July 10.—Mayor Mitchel issued a statement yesterday defining his attitude toward candidates for the governorship. He insisted that he is, first of all, for a clean independent democrat for the place. If such a man is not nominated he will be for a clean, capable independent, but he regards fusion with the progressives as highly improbable. The statement, followed by a series of questions which he answered, was brought forth apparently by stories printed in morning newspapers yester- day concerning the mayor’s failure to make a statement at the Ritz-Carlton on the evening before, after reporters had been called apparently to receive one from him as a supplement to one already issued by Dudley Field Ma- lone, collector of the port, on the in- dependent democratic attitude toward fusion. Certain Politiclans Disappointed. If the statement which the mayor {ssued yesterday was expected to be similar to Malone's, there was dis- appointment in the hearts of certain politicians last night, The mayor maintained practically the same atti- tude that he expressed several days ago, but at the same time avowed his loyalty to President Wilson and to democratic policies. The mayor denied that he had been asked by President Wilson to issue any statement or that the president and administration- leaders in Wash- ington were displeased with his’ visit to Col. Roosevelt, Whether he insist- ed on maintaining an independent at- titude against the president’s wishes or not, there is no doubt that his stand may have some effect on the machine democrats throughout the state. Mayor. Mitchel’s Statement. The mayor’'s statement follows: 80 much has been said recently which is confusing about my attitude toward the political situation in New York state that I feel it is necessary for me to make myself unmistakably clear. First, I wish to state again that my recent visit to Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay had no relation to politics in the state or the nation, directly or in- directly. My visit, as I said at the time, was purely and entirely social When I said this I meant it literally. Wants Democrat Elected, I have never discussed, suggested or advocated, privately or publicly, the nomination or indorsement by in- dependent democrats of any republi- can or progressive for the goveérmner- ship, I am a democrat, and as such it is my desire to see elected governor in New York state this fall a clean, capable, independent, progressive democrat whose administration will be representative of the policles and leadership of President Wilson. Failing the nomination of such an independent democrat, and assuming the nomination of a Barnes controllea republican on the one side and a Murphy controlled democrat on the other, then and only then I shoula like to see nominated a clean, capa- ble, independent citizen of any party as the candidate of those who pro- test against both Barnes and Mur- phy, of whom I am one. Fusion “Most Improbable.” As to fusion, I believe a fusion of independent democrats and progres- sives most difficult and improbable ' One Can Have A Good Time At Table witheut the usual cup of coffee, and feel a whole lot bet- ter between meals, too—free from that old “off color ;eeling"—-biliousness, indigestion, nervousness. and heart utter. taste. of both kinds is about the same.

I should not oppose it. 1 express this opinion merely as an interested onlooker. But I am a non-partisan mayor oi this city. 1 was nominated and elect- ed as such, and by my appointments and acts in office I belleve 1 have demonstrated this fact. Furthermors I do not propose to be drawn into politics. I have extremely important work to do as the mayor of the city and I do not propose to allow myselt to be distracted from that work by active participation in state or other politics. What I have said is merely the expression of my personal views. Under no circumstances will I per- mit my office or the administration to be placed in a position of support- ing any candidate in the guberna- *orial contest. ~ No Reason Apparent. ‘“There is no truth in the report that Washington is displeased with your visit to Col. Roosevelt?” “Not that I know of,” he said. “1 have no reason to believe any such thing.” -~ “But your statement still permits the inference that in the case of the nomination of a Barnes republican and a Murphy democrat you would support a progressive?” he was asked. “That statement answers the ques. tion as far as I can answer it now. 1 am not going outside that statement.” “Do you regard Whitman as a Barnes controlled republican?”’ “I did not mean the statement for any individual. My opinion of Mr. Whitman is probably clear from my recent congratulation of him on a dis- tinguished public service.” Supporter of Wilson. Mr. - Mitchel denied the report that he is not in sympathy with President ‘Wilson’s policies, “That is absolutely and utterly untrue,” he said. “I sup- port President Wilson and his policies now, as I have before.” Collector Malone when asked about the mayor's statement said it meant that the mayor is for a Wilson demo-~ crat. HELD FOR ASSAULTS. Massachusetts Man May Later Be Charged With Murder. Worcester, Mass., July 10.— Thomas Bombard of Cherry Valley, 36 years of age, was arraigned to- day on three charges of assault with intent to murder Mrs. Exilda King, Erhardt Reithel and Alma Reithel in the Pondville Woolen Mill in Auburn yesterday. The police asked for a continuance because Mrs. King and Reithel are likely to die and It was granted until Thursday, July 16. Although Bombard boasted of his action last night after his arrest, he changed his story to the police today and said he was so drunk yesterday he did not remember anything he did. STRUGGLE WITH KEEPERS. Prisoners in Blackwell's Island Create Another Disturbance, New York, July 10.—Mutinous pris- oners in the penitentiary on Black- -well's Island, many of whom have been put on bread and water fare be- cause of oitbreaks yvesterday and the day before, dreated another short- lived disturbancé today. They had a struggle with keepers in the north corridor. No one was seriously hurt. The rebels were sent back to thelr cells. Curtailment of certaln privileges hitherto granted the prisoners is the cause of the disorder. FLOODS IN CHINA. Thousands Are Homeless—Americans Asked to Help, Pekin, July 10.—The governor of Kiang-si has telegraphed the central government in Pekin that floods have devastated vast areas in this province and that thousands of people are homeless and starving. He begs the government to send money. Another official telegram says that floods in Canton are unprecedented. More than 1,000,000 are destitute and the poorer classes are in a miserable rlight. An appeal has been sent to the American Red Cross for help. PILOT BOAT RAMMED. Fruit Company’s Steamer Crashes Into Craft During Fog. New York, July 10.—The steam pilot boat New Jersey, carrying a crew of seventeen and a complement of fifteen pilots, was rammed in the fog early today by the United Fruit | company’s steamer Manchioneal, out- ward bound, in the outer harbor ana sunk. The steamer stood by and took off the pilot boat's crew before she sank. The New Jersey cruises off the Am- brose Channel lightship. GUILTY OF THEFT, YOUNG GIRL WEEPS Mrs. Addie Erondeen Fined $15 ard Costs D; Judge Meskil. Found guilty by Judge James T. Meskill in the police court this morn- ing of stealing a hand bag and money valued at about $17 from a counter in the twenty-five cent store, Mrs. Ad- die Brondeen, of Farmington avenue, was fined $15 and costs. = After the girl had heard her sentence and her friends had left the court room she broke down and wept bitterly, crying that she could not raise the required fine and costs and would therefore have to go to jail. The hand bag which Mrs. Brondeen stole is the property of Mrs. Shernach of Fair- view street. Hand Bag Disappears. Mrs. Shernach told the court that on Tuesday she had a hand bag and laid it down on a counter in the twenty-five cent store. In this pocket book, she claimed, were two bank books and a wallet containing $15 or $17. She said that when she turned to pitk up her hand bag it was gone. Bank Clerk on Stand. George Lamson of the New Britain Savings, bank, testified that Mrs. Brondeen came into the bank on Tuesday at 2:45 o'clock and told him she had found the two bank books in a hallway. Wallet Found at Depot. Thomas McWilliams, an employe at the local railroad station, stated that on Tuesday he was making some re- pairs in the station when he dis- covered the missing wallet. Detec- tive Sergeant Bamforth, who had been working on the case, said that Mrs. Brondeen informed him that she had found the pocket book on a counter. Later, said the detective, the girl told him that she had acci- dentally gathered the missing pocket book up with some parcels of her own and when she discovered it decided that she might just as well have it as the clerks in the store. Mrs. Brondeen declined to make any statement, but asked that Rose May, who is staying with her at her home on Farmington avenue, and who was with her when the alleged theft took place, be summoned as a witness. So at 9 o'clock Judge Mes- kill adjourned court until 10 o'clock, during the interim an officer belng sent for the -witness. The little &irl said that she was in the store with Mrs. Brondeen and when they got outside they found the hand bag with their parcels. When Mrs. Brondeen found the bag, said the girl, they went to the depot to ses what was in it and found a wallet, two bank books and a handkerchief. Judge Meskill fined Mrs, Brondeen $15 and costs. Non-Support Case Scttled. John Sandstrom, charged with fail- ure to provide for his family, agreed to allow Robert Middlemas, his em- ployer, to take $3 from his pay each week and turn it over to his family. This method of obtaining support will be continued for six months. Is Much Abused. No little amusement was caused when John Trotts was given a hear- ing on a charge of breach of (he peace. Neighbors testified that he had appliecd bad names to them and { had even gone so far as to remove a part of his clothes in plain view of all. Trotts made it appear that he is a much abused person himself. He de- clared that neighbors’ children are continually harassing him and his wife, He further stated that some of the children even blow their noses on his windows while others spit on the panes. Judge Meskill imposed a fine of $10. Carmody Still in Hospital, As Patrick Carmody, the aged vic- tim of a brutal alleged, by John Stahalik, i St.. Francis® hospital, the case did not come to a hearing today. On motion of Prosecutor George W. Klett this case is coptinued until July 31, Gets Light Fine. Because he came into court willing- ly and admitted that he was the man who was “rescued” from arrest at the hands of Officer Walter Malona a few days ago by a gang of young rowdies, Salvatore Legratta got off with the light fine of §5 and costs, (From July 10 to Sept 11 (Inclusive) Will Close Fridays at Noon.)
