Keith, President Wilson's nominee for collector of internal revenue for Long Island and Staten Island, made pub- lic yesterday affidavits from himself and five other men contradicting charges filed with the senate com- mittee on finance by ex-State Senator James L. Long that Keith sol¢ to Paul F. W. Lindner for supervisor of the town of Hemp- stead last year. . The affidavits intimate that the in- fluence: of Charles F. Murphy and James E. Gaffney is strong in Nassau county and say that defeat of the Murphy candidate for supervisor, Harry McChord, is responsible for the Anti-Keith fight. In hig affidavit Henry S. Orr, chair- man of the town committee of Hemp- tead, says that Gaffney sent for him | and asked him to support McChord, which he refused to do. He says | that McChord was backed by ex-Sen- ator Long and George F. Spinney, deputy clerk of general sessions, “‘as | agents of Charles F. Murphy.” But fourteen members of the committee voted for Lindner and only seven for McChord. Orr says that no- body paid any money and that the Wilson democrats of Long Island ap- prove of the selection of Keith for internal revenue collector “as a proper . recognition of his great services in the democratic party and his con- sistent opposition to Murphy and the leotrupting influence of Tammany in New York state politics.” 4 "Explains His Campaign Fund. In his own affidavit Keith says that campaign contributions which he re- ' geived were banked to the credit of his wife and’' were checked by her . as his agent for legitimate campaign . expenses. Explaining why no sworn Statement of campaign expenses was ‘made, Keith says Town Clerk Gil- . bert told Mrs. Keith it was not cus- ymary for a town committee to file : statement. Speaking as a lawyer }elm says he believes the law does ' fot require such a statement. ‘. “The_reason for the filing of these i ,. g is plain,” Keith continues. : xguh other Wilson democrats I drove . James H. Long out of political life ' and-supported Thomas H. O’Keefe for senator, who was electéd and who at Albany. refused to obey the com- mand of Murphy and votg for the fmpeachment . of Sulzer.” * He also says that Surrogate John J. &¥ukiam of Nassau county asked him | . t6'call about July 2 this year. In this” interview, says Geith, the Sur- rogafe" told him his nomination by President’ Wilson was being held up and that some of Keith's political opponents. had asked the surrogate to say that if Keith would promise not to use the patronage of his office agdinst them their opposition would Gease and they could bring about his nomination. Keith says he refused to #ive this pledge. In nhis affidavit Paul F. W. Lindner recites the circumstances -of his elec- #idn as supervison by the town com- Riltteé of Hempstead, His defeated bpponent he calls Tammany Candi- @ate McChord. Lindner swears that Heé’ was the voluntary choice of four- teen of the Hempstead town com- mitteemen’ and that he never paid Keith ‘or anybody else a cent for, the fomination.

PROVES ' EXCELLENT SEA BOAT Cup Chaenger Takes Big Seas L'ke Duck on Atianiie Voyage. Horta, Fayal, Azores, July 28.— Shamrock IV, Sir Thomas Lipton’s new challenger for the America’s cup, | arrived here today, having _taken seven days'and three hours for the voyage from Falmouth, England. During her trip, according to those on board, the yacht proved herself an excellent sea boat. In hard blows | she took the big seas like a duck and | slipped through the water with great | ease, Before Shamrock bade farewell to the English coast, Col. Neill, who is making the voyage on board the steam yacht Erin, which is acting as convoy on the. trans-Atlantic voyage, pressed the challenger hard in’ order to test her gear and her ocean rig. | Everything was found to be in good ; order and the little racer made good weather out of the hard blow and the drenching rainstorm she encountered on the run from Torquay to Plymouth, where she anchored for the night. Encountered Stormy Weather. The next day at dawn Shamrock weighed anchor and made for Fal- mouth, which she reached at 8 o’clock in the morning 'in. very stormy weather. The yacht left Falmouth at 5 her run by way of the Azores to New York. At noon she was ten miles west of Lizard, and then Col. Neill decided to take her in tow, as a dead calm had fallen and the tide was setting her back. The same evening the challenger picked up a breeze ! The blow | soon increased to a hard north- | northwesterly wind which churned up a heavy sea, in which Shamrock made { & fine picture as she rose easily to i each wave, On that day she averaged ten knots an hour for the twenty-four Wind Slackens Down. On the following day conditions were similar, but the weather was i finer and for the rest of the voyage j the wind gradually slackened down | until at times there was a dead calm. ! Then Col. Neill took the challenger { in tow until the breeze strengthened | sufliciently for her to run under her own sail. | The best day's runs were 240, 222, 189, 142 and 162 knots. Captain Turner Pleased. | 1t is possible that Shamrock’s boom will be taken off when she is here, as it bangs about so much when she is becalmed. Otherwise the yacht is regarded as having done wel] and her performance thus far on her oceéan voyage has increased the hopes of those on board that she will be successful in carrying out the pur- pose for which she was bulit, Captain Turner, who is acting as skipper on the trans-Atlantic voyage, is well satisfled with the yacht's be- havior. The half of the crew which has managed the yacht since her de- | parture from England is to be re- | placed here by the other half, who | have been luxuriating on board the Erin. UNDER $1,500 BONDS. South Windsor Man Held ‘for Death | of Former Middletown Tax Collector. Middletown, July 28.—John "W, Helm of South Windsor who was held | criminally responsible by Coroner Davis for the death of George W. Lane, a former tax collector of Mid- dletown, waived examination on ar- raignment in the city court here to- day, on a charge of manslaughter, and was held under $1,500 bonds for trial in the superior court. Helm’s automobile ‘struck Lane on July 6 inflicting injuries which caused his death two days later. STOCK MARKET AFFECTED. New York, July 28.—Reflecting for- eign conditions, the local stock mar- ket manifested further uneasiness in today’s early dealings.

Bitish Stcamshp Missowi Rams Tiand in Mit-eean, London, July 28.—The British steamship Missouri passed Gravesend yesterday with her bows damaged. She reported having been in col- { lision with the Red Star line steam- the damage to which vessel was not known. Cracked Starboard Bow, New York, July 28.—With a crack four inches deep extending from rail to waterline in her starboard bow, the Red Star Liner Zeeland arrived here last night, bringing a story of a collision in a dense fog in mid-ocean last Wednesday morning with the British freight steamship Missouri, of the Atlantic Transport line, Baltimore for London and Antwerp. The Zee- land was on her way here from Dover and Antwerp with twenty-eight first class and nearly 200 second class pas- sengers. The Zeeland had been especially strengthened at the point where the Missouri struck her. Otherwise, ac- cording to her captain, J. C. C. Mol- ler, the Missouri’s bow would have cut through the Zeeland. Captain Explains Crash. Captain Moeller said he slowed down the Zeeland on approaching the tog bank. “We were going ahead slowly when suddenly the Missouri came out of the fog, perhaps 300 yards away,” said' the master, “and 1 ordered the engines stopped and sent full speed- astern. We had lost our headway when the Missouri, ap- parently unable to check her speed altogether, crashed into us. “When I saw that the " Missouri would not fail to strike us, I ordered the passengers away._ from the ralls and sounded ‘Quarters,’ although lat- er such precautions were found to be needless, as we were but slightly in- jured. The impact of the blow sent the Missouri astern and later Captain ‘Watkins of the freight ship sent word to me by wireless that no assistance was needed, as only his ship’s bow was injured.” Missouri’s Stem Twisted. Passengers on the Zeeland said the Missouri appeared to bound back af- ter the collision and that her stem was twisted back for several feet from deck to waterline, Several wom- en became hysterical, they said, but there was no panic. Captain Moller said the Zeeland did not leak and that no plates were broken. SUNDAY BASEBALL PLAYERS FINED Eight Members of Bridgeport and Pittsficld Clubs Assessed Two Dollars and Costs. Bridgeport, Conn., July 28.—Eight members of the Bridgeport Eastern association baseball club and three of the Pittsfield club were fined $2 and costs each by Judge Coughlin at today’s session of the city court, for violation of the Sunday laws in play- ing a game on May 17 at Newfleld park. In passing sentence Judge Coughlin stated that he does not con- siéer Sunday. baseball the worst of crimes but that, according to the statute, he would have to find the ac- cused guilty. Reference was made to the decision of the common pleas court ruling that Sunday games are a viclation of the statute. He intimated that it is difficult to see why the New- field park games are more of a viola- tion than the many games played Sundays throughout the city. Judge E. 8. Banks and President James H. O’Rourke, of the assocla- tion, intimated that the fines will be paid without an appeal being taken although a definite decision will prob- ably not be made until tomorrow. Those fined were Robert Stow, Blos- som Blum, Daniel Tierney, Jacob Boultes, Martin Walsh, Henry Kerns, Mutz Ens, Daniel Senno, of the Bridgeport club and Edward Bridges, and Adolph Rettig of the Pittsfleld club, and P. J. Crisham, an umpire. The last three came to headquarters this morning, gave themselves up and the warrants were served on them. None of the Bridgeport Pastors’ as- soclation, credited with being respon- sible for the prosecution, were noted in' court. Judge Banks, in making a plea for leniency for his clients, said that the laws were such that a person is un- able to do much on Sunday and that the time to change them is in the legislature. He felt sure, he said, that the prohibiting of baseball is not up- held by public sentiment. CLERKS WILL PLAY.

St. Louis, July 28.—Mrs. Paul Gunther of Mexico, who has the dis- tinction of having put General Pancho Villa to flight by looking squarely at him with a revolver in her hand, is in, St. Louis making many friends here before she takes home for the summer her daughters, Misses Grace and Mary Gunther, who are pupils of the Visitation Academy, Cabanne place. Paul Gunther, the husband of Mrs. Gunther, is a Belgian, who became a naturalized American citizen. He owns extensive estates in Santa Ro- salia, and his stables contain the fin-/ est racing horses in the republic. Short of Horses. When Villa was a bandit he was short of horses one day. His own were tired and unable to proceed, and he seized on the plan of emptying the stables of Paul Gunther. Whether the bandit chieftain felt more sure of his ground because the owner of the estates was away from home is not known, but if he builded on the hope of finding a helpless woman who could not resist his power he was greatly mistaken. Arriving at the Gunther hacienda, Villa was informed that the master of the house was abroad. He then asked for Mrs. Gunther. She, a na- tive Mexican of aristocratic birth, her ratural wit made keener by an educa- tion of years in Boston, decided to re- cefve the bandit, but to do so under the American flag. Flag on Tall Pole. Mrs. Gunther directed the placing of the flag on a tall pole in the court- vard. She then descended to re- celve the most courtly greeting of Villa, who asked for enough horses to equip his cavalrymen. , He was informed by Mrs. Gunther that she could give him no horses in the absence of her husband. Una- bashed, the bandit began to flat- ter. “Will you allow me to smoke a cig- srette and to gaze into your beautiful eyes?” asked he. Gaze at Flag. “Gaze rather at the beautiful flag,” replied Mrs. Gunther, with the ut- most composure, pointing to the sway- ing silken folds of the Stars and Stripes. Villa lifted his eyes, and upon bring- ing back his gaze to the beautifui Mexican woman found that he was looking into the barrel of a loaded revolver. He had brought none of his' alds with him and was at the woman’s mercy. Rebel Was Amazed. It is said, In justice to Villa’s cour- age, that he was amazed as much ag he was abashed. His admiration of Mrs. Gunther's pluck was so pro- found that he then and there gave his word that the stables of Santa Rosalia should never be molested by him, and they never have been. He has kept his word. Mrs. Gunther is a. young woman of striking beauty, with the abun- dant black hair of the ‘Spanish wom- an and dark, expressive eyes. She is extremely vivacious and converses with much charm. $8,000 FIRE IN MIDDLETOWN. McDonough Block Damaged Flames and Water Today.

Whitman formally announced yester- | day that he is a candidate for gover- | nor. Like Job Hedges, he says he will | enter the republican primary, “and | none other.” He agrees to support ‘the republican nominee, whoever he is, and challenges Harvey D. Hinman to make the same pledge. Without replying specifically to the assertion of Charles 8. Duell, Jr., that the district attorney voted for Theo- dore Roosevelt in 1912, Mr, Whitman makes the general statement that he has supported at the election every republican nominee for president and governor since he became a voter. He says he could undoubtedly have had the colonel’s support this year if he had been willing to submit to Roosevelt dictation. Mr. Whitman's declaration follows: “I shall file my petition on the first day permitted by law and shall be a candidate for the gubernatorial nom- ination at the republican primary, and none other. 1 will support the republican candidate chosen at that primary, as 1 have supported at the election every republican nominee for president and governor since 1 have been a voter. 1 ask Mr. Hinman if he will make a like pledge to support the republican nominee chosen at the coming primary. “1 have stood from the beginning of this fight for the principle that a candidate should be chosen by the | enrolled voters of each party at their own primary. “I am against the attempt of Mr. Roosevelt to force a candidate upon the republican party, If I had been willing to submit to his dictation no doubt I could have had his support. 1 did not submit to it, and I did not get it, “The issue that will be fought out now is whether the republican party is to be dominated by Mr. Roosevelt or by the enrolled members of the republican party. That is the first issue at this primary. ‘Will Continue Graft Fight. “If elected governor I propose to follow the trails partly uncoverei by the recent graft investigations, no matter where such trails may lead or what the consequences may be. “The office of governor has the further and more important func- tion, the power to prevent depart- mental extravagance and corruption in the future. It is a known fact that since the democratic party came into power in this state there have been extravagance and corruption. What the people of the state want is to have people stoppeda. If I am elected governor they will be stopped.” Politicians are especially interested in Mr. Whitman’s question whether or not Mr. Hinman will pledge him- self to support the republican nomi- nee. They are wondering what the Binghamton man will do if he hap- pens to be nominated by the progres- sives and defeated in the republican primary. His republican friends are applauding him as a “sterling, con- sistent republican.” The present dis- position of that party is to nominate a ticket every member of which is a republican. Snag Scen For Hinman. 1f Hinman heads this ticket his attitude toward the progressives will not be embarrassing for he could de- vote his time to slamming the demc- crats. But iIf only the progressives cleave to him in the primaries he probably would be expected by the progressive army, if not by Com- mander Roosevelt, to gird at the re- publicans. So the argument goes. Whitman political headquarters will be opened in the Metropolitan Life building this week. Mr. Hin- man has yet to begin his city cam- paigning, and his personal represen- tative here has not been designated. His old friend of the state senate, Jo- giah T. Newcomb, may be the man. 1t is indicated that Representative william M. Calder of Brooklyn, will throw his strength to Hinman. One natural reason would be that Hinman is an up-stater and Calder, who wants the republicans to send him’ to the United States senate. is a city man— this being the division of candidates deemed desirable by political strate- gists. % ICOUNT KAROLY SAYS. AUSTRIA IS TO BLAME Lcader of Ha garisn Indcpsadeats Raps her Policy. New York, July 28.—About to re- turn to Budapest, his American tour cut short by the Austro-Servian situa- tion, Count Michael Karolyl, leader of the independent party in Hungary, vesterday criticised Austria’s policy toward the Balkan States, while con- fersing thaf, since war seemed to have come, Hungarians would loyally sup- port the empire. ’ “If Austria had pursued a policy of cirectly helping the Balkan countries, if Austria had in the past made it & point to be actively their friend, this war would not confront us,” the Hun- garian eaid with vehemence. “Since it has come of course all Hungarians will support the empire and internal differences will be dismissed while the empire is imperilied, % Hope for the Best. “l have almost no information about the state of affairs at home.: A8 for the outlook In the war all 1 can say is we must hope for the best; for an outcome favorable to the empire. “As for the lovalty of the many Serbs within Austria-Hungary it ls hard to say. There again we must hope that they will take the Austrian side. But the Austrian policy toward the Balkan countries has been wrong, all wrong. Count Sails Tomorrow. Count Karolyi wil sail tomorrow on La Savole. He spoke yesterday af- ternoon at a big meeting of the Hun* garian Verhovay 8ick and Death Benevolent Association in Passaic, The meeting elected him honorary president of an alllance to which 20.000 Hungarians in this country be- long. Also $18,000 was pledged on the spot to ald Count Karolyi’'s faction in Hungary. Alexander Konta bitterly attacked the Servian policy in the past. “Th¢ war makes a unit of Hungarians and Austrians,” sald Mr. Konta. “For five i ‘this state. vears Servia has menaced the empire and it has been a constant drain upon Austria-Hungary to keep an army in readiness to deal with Servian treach- ery. Raps American Press. “The American press seems to me to be largely influenced against Austria-Hungary. 1 don’t know why this should be but the feeling ap- parently exists. It is most unjust. The Servians are a cut-throat race— one needs only to look at their history to realize that.” The same feeling that the Americay press is rather generally against Aus- tria was expressed at the Austro- Hungarian consulate, 24 State street, There it was explained that no notifi- cation of war being declared had been received, nor had notice to call upon army reservists in this country ar- rived from the Austrian ambassadof, Dr. Dumba. 3.000,000 in United States, Natives of Austria-Hungary in the United States number more than 3,000,000. Of these all able-bodied men between the ages of nineteen and forty-two are supposed to answer the empire’'s call for reserves, There la no compulgion about it. e For reservists responding to a call there is free transportation to Aus- tria (not back here) and a soldier's pay of about zehn heller (two eents) a day, food and allowances furnished. If he leaves a family here without support that is no concern of the old country. Accordihgly perhaps 500,000 natives of Austria-Hungary here ought to re. spond to the reserve call.
