\ s r ; a RACING # SPORTS PRICE ONE CENT, GROUT QUITS THE FUSION TICKET Decides This Afternoon to Let the Administration ~Forces Drop Him Off Their List and Will Not Offer a Fight. THIS SIMPLIFIES THE CAMPAIGN A LITTLE. {t Will Draw the Line Direct Be- tween the Two Parties and Is What Mr. Murphy Has Been Trying to Bring Abdut.* Béward M. Grout determined this @fternoon to allow the Fusion forces te drop him from their ticket without Brotest. The new candidate for Comp- troller and President of the Board of (Aldermen will be chosen at a meeting of the Fusion conferrees this evening, and before the close of the week both tick- ets will be completed and the working @ampaign will be on in real earnest. 4 great deal depends upon the Fusion @hoice of a candidate for Comptroller. Zt the Republicans prevail and a Re- Pudlican is named Charles F. Murphy fill be sutted down to the ground, be- @ause it will give him an opportunity .o make a straight out and out partisan gampaign. If an independent Democrat eshte the mix-up that has pre- ler us far will in Resctey no sense be M. Linn Bruce, Chairman of the Re- Publican County Committee, denied to- @ay that there was any friction among the conferrees. He sald that the Re- publicans would allow the Citizens’ Union to name the candidate for Comp- troller but it was noticed that in the @onference yesterday the Republicans had a candidate to spring and they may have another surprise party this evening. Grout Can Stump for Tammany. Mr, Grout’s move in allowing himeelf te be forced trom the Fusion ticket is eonsidered good politics. He can go.on the, » for Tammany Hall. show thet he was nominated by the Fusion- fats. that he accepted in good faith and @t the request of the Mayar, and was then dropped because he did not turn down a Democratic endorsement. Doubt- lems this was the end leader Murphy ‘was working for all the time. There ts an able-bodied belief in Tam- Many circles to the effect that Charles ¥. Murphy is going outside the organi- Bation to select a candidate for Borough President, and thé faithful braves are full sore. They think that the In- ‘dorsement of Grout ana Fornes was @ufficient deference to respectability and that the powerful office of President f the Borough should go to a member +@f the organization in good standing. Mr. Murphy did not add to the com- fort of his followers when he reached Tammany Hall to-day. They expected him to deny It. He did not deny it, which implies that he will probably pick his candidate from the outside, The Tammany men figure that if he had an organization man in mind he would @. Asa matter of fact, it is believed ‘that the borough and county slates have mot been made up, although the con- Wention is but two days away. He Will Be a Democrat. When Mr. Murphy was asked about the truth of the report that he would go outaide the organization he replied that the nominee would be a Democrat and that was all he would say. The real reason for the feud between Tammany and Hugh McLaughlin has ‘been revealed. It dates back to the out- ing of Congressman “Tim” Sullivan at which Bird 8. Coler, of Brooklyn, was @ guest of honor. At this outing “Big Tim" suggested the nomination for Comptroller to Co- Jer, who said that he wanted six hours for deliberation and consultation with his friends. At the end of six hours he #ent word to Sullivan that McLaughlin Tefused to let him take the nomination, McLaughlin had another candidate and he wanted Tammany to take him up. Tammany refused. McLaughlin tried to force his point and Murphy sent word ty nim that he could take his or- @@nization and go away trom here with it or words to that effect. sThat is why MoLauxhlin is sore and may work for the defeat of the Tammany ticket. McCarren Bolts McLaughlin, Senator McCarren has bolted the Wil- Joughby street organization and has some out for the Tammany ticket. did not speak to Hugh McLaughiin when he met him at the auction room to-day, and the old-Boss ignored the Jong Senator. “The trouble between McCarren and mo," explained McLaughlin, “is like the trouble between a man and his wife. ‘They may fight occasionally, but they ontinue to live under the same roof, jatforn, fad Senator McCar- dy stinds or what 8, acd ( want my pos.tion understood. | aa for the whole Demo- OFatic Uccet as nomioated dast 'P..ursday night in Carsegie Hall.

Frightened by the Questions of the Police, the Small Shrub Girl Told Conflicting Stories at First. Tina Solomon, a pretty Mttle girl of three, with her little sister Anna gave a children's party this afternoon in cele- bration of thelr narrow escape from death by ning. These lttle ones swallowed poison on crackers meant for rats, and only the promptest medical at- tention saved their lives. The Solomon children live with their father and mother at No. 66 Willoughby street, Brooklyn. Across the street lives Alice Shrubb, a girl of seven, who is the ‘“ittle mother’ for all the children on the blook, Some days ago Alice was playing in the rear of Westerman’ store at No. 68 Willoughby street when she came upon some nice looking sweet crackers. The crackers were on the floor and appeared to have been dropped by one of the grocery clerks. The littie girl ran to the street with her find and there saw the Solomon children with their nurse, Esther Klein, “Don't you want some good crackers?" the little girl asked, and without wait- ing for an answer she broke one of the crackers in half and gave it to the chil- dren. The other cracker she gave to the nurse. Children Become Il. Half an hoir after eating the the Solomon children were taken death- ly il, Dr, Finley, of Gold street, was called in and he found the condition of the little patients so serious that he called for Dr. Bennett, of Greene ave- nue, to assist him. While the doctors were working on the children the little nurée fell to the floor unconscious. She had been fig! ing againat the ilmess until it ht- it over- came her complete! ‘he nurse and it. tle Tina revived after several hours, but Anna, the youngest ehild, was thought. to be dying for some time. ‘When both the children and the nurse were well they were asked where th had got the poison. They said that t! crackers given them by Alice Shrubb were the only things they had eaten. Investigation by the doctors showed that the children had been poisoned with arsenic and it was agreed that the ar- genic was on the crackers. Alice Was Frightened. So frightened did Alice become when she learned that her little friends were polsoned ‘that she failed to ison: ry Yell a straight story, and for a time it was be- Heved that some miscreant was’ going t the etreets of Brooklyn polson to children.

WOMAN LEAPS 10 DEATH FROM FLAT HOUSE ROOF Soto Suicide of Crazed Mrs. Martin, Follow- ing Desperate Struggle with Another Woman Who Sought to Save Her, Watched by a Throng of Spectators. A great crowd of terrified spectators in West Forty-sixth street saw a woman hurl herself from the roof of a four-story tenement at No. 526 this morning. She tumbled headlong to the street and was dashed to death on the pavement. For fifteen minutes the crowd in the streets and hundreds of women and children at the windows of every tenement in the densely populated block had watched the death struggle on the housetop of the woman who killed herself and another woman who frantically fought to save her. The suicide. was Mrs. Annie Martin, a young widow, who lived with her sister-in-law, Mrs, Sarah Farrell. She had acted so strangely that she was sent to Bellevue Hospital to be examined for insanity, and yesterday the doctors sent her home, They said she was cured. This morning while Mrs. Farrell was at a nearby market Mrs. Martin, all alone, went up to the roof. Mrs. Stella Young, living on the top floor, heard footsteps and went to the roof to ses who it was, She found Mrs. Martin leaning far out over the cornice. She approached her cautiously and touched her foot. Mrs. Martin turned quickly, saw Mrs. Young and then tried to spring cover the edge. I “Watch me go!" she shrieked. “I want to dive down there!” Mrs. Young held to her foot and drew her back. The insane woman The screams attracted the attention of Mrs. Della Manning, living on the top floor of the house pointing to the roof opposite, In that densely¥@populated district it reauired but a minute for a crowd It increased untii the whole street was blocked, with every neck 83] Suddenly the swish of skirts appeared over the ledge,, one of Mrs £:3| Martin's feet slid over and her body was half across the line when Mrs “6| Young’s strength returned and she fought to pull her back. i] “Let me go!
