De- | fore the convention organized many of | the aspirants accepted as facts the ru-| mors that Herrin and his friends had | complete control of the works, but aftes | | the programme was broken in the vote to | | deprive the chairman of power to appoint | the committee on platform many candi- | dates began to think that the delegates | were capable of independent action. It is | sald now that the bosses will not present | a slate until positive assurance is given | that the Thirty-third and Fortleth dis- | trict delegations will not again balk at the programme. Jesse Marks was counted | on to swing the Fortieth delegation, but | something happened to confuse the mean- {Ing of his orders. Owing to the sickness | of Colonel Burns affairs in this district | are still unadijusted. Herrin is reported to be very bitter | | against the Republican Primary League. | He goes so far as to declare that any pirant for office who was connected with he league or who supported its candi- | dates will be turned down. Herrin is not | | a clever politician. He can do a neat turn | in manipulation for the fixing of water | rates or transportation charges, but he | has no aptitude for political management. | In the long Senatorial contest he blun- ! dered at every turn. He does not now take into consideration a fact obvious tu others that the nominees of the Repub- lican convention must be elected by the | people before they can hold office. He does not consider that the Primary | League delegates secured eight thousa votes at the primary election, or more Republican votes than the delegates sup- | ported by the allied bosses received. It ought to be ciear to Herrin's mind thut | the league would now be in complete con- | trol of the convention if Rainey, Greaney, | Maxwell and other Democratic bosses bad | not lined up_ Democrats to help Boss Kelly. The Republicans who beiong to the Primary League are intelligent and independent. If the good of the city demands they will exercise the right of | voting for the best nominees, regardiess | of party nomination. Herrin's threat to exclude from consideration all Repub- ns who are connected with the Pri- mary League shows that ne does not un- . | derstand the first rudiments of party lead- | ership. He cannot fulfill the compact | made with the Grand Hotel party to “do up” the league. i | _It is not probable that nominations for M r will be reached next Thursday evening. The platform committee wiil | doubtless present an elaborate report. | Opportunity for discussion can hardly be | denied. Even if a sufficient number of delegates to control the convention should combine the leaders of the combination | Wwould hardly insist on the extreme meas- ure of stifiing debate on resolutions. The list of candidates for Mayor is quite | formidable. Among those mentioned are | Asa R. Wells, Reginald Webster, Charles R. Paiton. John C. Kirkpatrick,' Thomas | V. Cator, ‘George Stone, Alfred’ Bouvier, | C. A. Murdock, Henry J. Crocker, Charles | 8. Laumeister’ and ex-Superintendent of | Streets Kent. It is common talk that Boss Kelly is trying to shape things so | that Laumeister may be put forward. ln the yellow building Kirkpatrick, Cator and Stone are regarded favorably. Pat- | ton has many friends in the convention. It is said that school teachers would get out and fight Wells if he were nominated | for Mayor and it is also rumored that de- positors of the defunct Home Savings Bank would organize to fight Colonel Stone if he should get the nomination. Gavin MeNab, leader of the Democratic , is out of town. He will be home next Monday in season to definitely an- nounce the time and place for holding the first session of the Democratic Municipal ! Convention. It is understood that nomina- tions will be deferred until the evening | before the time for flling the ticket ex- pires. i NAME PART OF TICKET. | Municipal Convention of Union Labor o | Party Makes Several Nominations. o time was wasted by the delegates to | 'the municipal convention of the Union | Labor party in getting down to business last night at B'nal B'rith Hall. | The first on the order of nominations | was Sheriff.

The closest coniest was that for Re- corder. George Daw of the Blacksmiths’ Unjon named Alfred Growney of the same union. Delegate Schalke of the Printers’ Club placed Thomas F. Eagan of Long- shoremen’s Union No. 228 in nomination. Eagan won by a vote of 144 to 124, An excited discussion followed the mo- tion of Delegate Roxburg of the Allied Printing Trades Council to pass the nom- inations of District Attorney, City and County Attorney and Police Judges for the time being. “‘as it would be inimical,” he sald, “to the interests of the strikers. ‘An amendment to the motion included the Coroner. A substitute was presented by Ryan of the Brotherhood of Teamsters placing the five nominations as the last order of business. “We beg of you,” said Ryan, “on behalf of the City Front Federation to take this action_and select these judiclal officers last. It is absolutely essential to the suc- cess of the strike. ‘If you fail to do this our cause may be lost.” Ryan's appeal was effective and his sub- stitute was carried by a vociferous vote, McEntee of the Teamsters named I.

A motion to elect Less by acclamation and by a rising vote in reoo’nmon of his services in orinnulnz the Union Labor party was tumultuously carried, J. 8.

Wallace, both of Machiniste’ Unfon No, 68, w ced in nomination for Public Administrator. When they took the stand to indorse the latform they were questioned as to ength of residence, and both answered antlnrncmrll‘y. After the roll was par- utnll~ called Wallace withdrew in favor of Kenny. Delegate John Coughlan of the Long- shoremen presented a series of resolu- tions condemning *‘the Board of Trade of 8an Francisco” and the ‘‘so-called Mer- chants’ Assoclation™ for asking Governor Gage to call out the militia. e ver- nor was praised for his stand. None of the delegates saw the mistake made in the resolutions naming the local instead of the State Board of Trade. The resolu- tions were adonted.

Cronin, and John Joseph Hanley, cashier and manager of the Melezer and Copete Mining companies of Sonora, Mexico, with offices WILL CELEBRATE ATONEMENT DAY Impressive Services to Be Held in the Syn- agogues. Services of the most solemn character will be held in the synagogues of this city to-morrow evening. At sundown the Day of Atonement, the most sacred holiday among the Hebrew people, begins and will not end until sunset the following night. To-morrow evening ‘Kol Nidre,” or the eve of “Yom Kipyer,” the Day of Atone- ment, will be celebrated. According to the Jewish belief, man is supposed to strive and make his peace with heaven, first, however, having made it with his fellow- man by acquitting himself of all his obli- gations to him by making full and just reparation for any damage he may have caused him during the year. The Day of Atonement does not release a man from any obligation, debt or responsibility to his fellow-man or to society; only such matters as are between a man and his own consclence. A man can ask to be for- glven for such vows and obligations that may have been taken in a rash moment thoughtlessly and impulsively, and then only when they have reference to himself alone and reflect upon no other human being. Every Jew is supposed to do noth- ing that will remove his thoughts from the solemnity of the Day of Atonement, and to devote his time solely to religious devotion, He therefore abstains from in- dulgence in luxuries, and even refrains from partaking of food during the time 8o that nothing may come between him and the plous sentiments which hold him during the entire day. The blast from the shofar or cornet will signalize the end of (he day. Bervices In the synagogues will be most impressive.

Although an invitation had been extend- ed to those Interested to meet with the Judiclary, Fire and Building committees of the Board of Bupervisors yesterday afternoon to discuss the new fire and building ordinance, only two persons were resent. One had a patent window clean- ng proposition and the other'a patent sldewalk elevator device to present. Su- ervisors Brandenstein, Dwyer, Braun- art, Curtls and Wilson, City Architect Mooger and District ' Fire Engineer Shaughnessy were present. Architect Mooser desired to have a change made in the helght of buildings, urging 130 feet as the limit, with interme- dlate helghts for others on narower streets. he- height limit was allowed to remain for class A buildin, on streets 100 feet wide or over at lg't.et. and on narrower streets at 105 feet. Par- tially fireproof buildings, embraced in classes B and C, were limited in height to 92 and 80 feet, respectively. Supervisor Wilson had stricken out the clauses relating to bay windows extendin, over sidewalks. The ordinance pmvmes that they might be constructed at a ""f}“ of ten feet above the sldewalk, with a width of three feet. This will pre- vent bay windows. extending over the streets on new buildings. The ordinance, after some minor amendments were made, was recommended for passage by the Board of Supervisors.

Says There Should Be Fusion to Overthrow Corrupt Ring. — PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.—A sensation was sprung in local political clrcles to- day when ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison announced his resignation from the Demo- cratic City Committee as a result of the action of the county convention in nomin- ating a straight-éut Democratic ticket. Coupled with this statement was a sug- gestion from Pattison that a new Demo- cratic ofganization be formed in the city, which brought out a statement from Na- tional Committeeman James A. Guffy, heartily endorsing the suggestion. The party organization in this city is controlied by ex-City Chairman J. P. Don- nelly and City Commissioner Thomas J. Ryan and there has of late been much op- position to their leadership. Efforts have been made by Pattison and his supporters to have the organization fuse with the Union party in this city, which has nom- inated P. F. Rothermel (the incumbent) for District Attorney against the Repub- lican nominee, John Weaver. These ef- forts failed, and to-night the Democratic convention placed the. following straight- out ticket in the field: For District Attor- ney, Ex-Postmaster W. Wilkins Carr; Controller, James G. Magee: Recorder of Peeds, Henry Fernberger; Clerk of Court of Quarter Session, Herman V. Helzell; member of the Board of Revision of Tax- es, Charles Benton. After the convention had adjourned Pat- tison announced his resignation as chair- man of the committee, to take effect at once. Pattison, in the course of his letter of resignation, says: Belleving, as I_do, that the overwhelming sentiment of the Democrats of Philadelphta. is that this is an occasion when we should unite with the Independent Republicans for the over- throw of the corrupt ring which is disgracing the_ administration of public affairs in our city, I am prepared to give my time and service toward any movement which will bring about such a condition of affairs as will secure com- plete fusion and will accomplish this result. It was announced by those close to Pat- tison that a new organization would at once be created with a full city commit- tee. Negotiations will, in all likelihood be opened with the Union party, looking to- ward fusion with that ~organization through the regular Republican and Dem- ocratic organizations. SPECIAL OFFICSR WEINBERG CAUGHT STEALING A HAM Former Associate of ‘“Charity Graft- * ers” Tries to Hide Identity When Caught. M. B.

He sald that he | never kept account of his private affairs, | and therefore was not able to state whether his income was $200 or per month. The question of income was brought | about by Mrs. Anderson, who in her com- | plaint alleges that she ‘thought $1000 per month should be allowed her for the sup- port of herself and family while the ac- tion was pending. The complaint alleges | that the value of the community property | is_$167,000. Captain Anderson says that his vessels are not paying him anything now on ac- ccunt of the strike.

COMPIEG! Sept. 20.—Emperor Nich- olas exercised the prerogative of an auto- crat to-day and kept President Loubet and all the French occupants of the Chauteau Complegne marking time the whole morning untll he had signified his desires. It was fully expected that he would drive to Plerrefonds and visit the castle, and that afterward he would go shooting in the great park attached to the chateau. All the arrangements had been made and 600 pheasants were brought specially last evening and let loose in the covers. But he did nothing of the kind. His Majesty remained in his apartments after breakfast quietly until 10 o'clock, when he took a short promenade in the gardens, attired in a dark lounge suit and top boots, with the Czarina, clad in her invariable half-mourning and followed by a hound, The Empreéss carried her cam- era, with which she took a number of views. Their Majesties passed a squad of infantry stationed on guard. There- upon the Czarina photographed the group, subsequently conversing with the otflcers and promising that they should have a photograph. Interviews the Premier. After going to the chateau the Emperor had a long interview with M. Waldeck- Rousseau, the French Premier. It lasted at least two_ hours. Count Lamsdorff, the | Russian Foreign Minister, also conferred with M. Delcasse, the French Minister of Forelgn Affairs. Naturally what took place has not been divulged, but it 1s whispered that the principal subject of | the interview was the commercial rela- tions between France and Russia. After glving it to be understod that he would arrive at Plerrefonds the Czar left the chateau with the Czarina in a vie- toria at 3 o'clock, escorted by a few de- tectives on bicycles. Measures were taken within the park, however, that absolutely precluded the attempts of any stragglers to approach, while every few yards the palisade inciosure was guarded by foot soldiers. In order to test the measures taken to safeguard his Majesty's person during the drive five detectives were instructed to attempt to enter the park last evening under cover of darkness. In every case they were captured before getting inside the chateau gardens. The Emperor wore the undress uniform of the Prevbrajenski Regiment. He changed his route quite unexpectedly, and instead of proceeding to Plerrefonds took a short drive to the village of Beaumont: returning to the Chauteau Compiégne 5 o'clock. In the meantime crowds a sembled in. the streets of Pierrefonds, awalting his expected arrival. The streets were gayly decorated by the local author!- ties. Expectation, however, was destined to be disapoointed. The route was kept free of traffic by gendarmes, but all to no purpose, Disappointment for Crowds. The streets of Complegne presented a most_animated aspect all day long. In the afternoon an immense concourse gath- ered in the hope of witnessing the Czar and Czarina drive through a part of the town or the outer park, but the only sen- sation enjoyed was a pleasant visit to the town hall from M. Loubet. The chateau constituted a striking com- ment upon the extraordinary precautions | surrounding every step the Czar has| taken since he set foot on French soll. M. ubet gave no inkling of his intentio The first thing known not merely to the general public but to the police was when the President, accompanied by M. Wal- | deck-Rousseau.and General Dubois, chief of the military household, emerged from | the gates of the chateau on foot. The road to the town hall was cleared as well as possible. The Mayor, who was at the town hall with a view to the possibility of such a visit, even had to send out and gather in the members of the Town Council, who were quietly sleeping after lunch in the neighboring cafes, he visit was con- ducted in a_charming manner, such as en- ears M. Loubet to the French people. All ceremony ~was absolutely excluded and the whole proceedings were carried out in the most informal fashion. M. | Loubet chatted cordially with the Mayor and Councilors, making joking remarks and asking questions regarding the an- tiquities and paintings in the municipal museum. He had a kind word for the dnughter of the janitor as he left the e Eaptt £ th e baptism of the son of the Montebeilo took place in the npncrox‘:nn:n?; of the Czar after his return from the drive. His Majesty had promised to act as godfather. It was originally intended that the ceremony should occur at the | chateau of the Count, and Prinee Ourqus- soff, Russlan Embassador to France, had been designated to represent the Emperor. Last night, however, the Czar expressed an intention to act personally, and the rite of baptism was to be pe: o'clock. Only the Czar and Czarina and members of the family of the Count were present. The child was christened Nich- olag, after the Czar, who sald the credo in_Russian. The crowning feature of the day’s events .was the performance In the cha- teau theater, which followed a grand ban- quet In” the ‘famous hall of columns, the members of the French Cabinet, the offi- cers of the Senate and Chamber of Depu- ties and leading members of the suite of the Czar and M. Loubet being present. The upper gallery of the theater was oc- cupled solely by secret police, who were masked behind a rampart of palms and flowers. 1 The Czar and Czarina took their leave of President and Mme.
