Stung by the activity of Senator Mc- CCarren and the persistent snubbing of “Ithe Willoughby street organization by ‘Tammany Hall, James heviln, the mouthpiece of Hugh MoLaughlin, used gome real naughty language to-day. ‘The way ho referred to Senator Mo- Carren was dowaright rough. An Evening World reporter, with the sincere hope that he“might be able to scare up some trouble, hastened to Sen- Ator McCarren, and to him reported what Mr. Shevlin had sald, ‘The seamed visage of the Senator broke into as clone an imitation of @ smile as it ts ‘capable of doing as he remarked “T bave no use for personalities.”” Senator MoCarren has reported to Charles F.

Sure He Will, Says Col. -Jim Jones, Who Has Been Helping Lay the Mine to Be Exploded Under Police Commissioner. ‘Tammany Hall haa prepared an answer to the question that has been put to Col. McClellan frequently of late, “Will you continue Gen. Greene in the office of Police Commissioner?” The answer con- sists in raking up the past history of the Barber Asphalt Trust and accusing Gen. Greene of making. $1,000,000 through the ‘Trust's misappropriation of patents, Col. Jim Jones, once the Heutenant of fex-Senator Hill, and who has been in politics for thirty years, called on Col. McClellan and helped him outline hix attack on Gen. Greene. y After the ‘conference Col Jones told the reporters what he had told Col. McClellan and which will soon be em- blaioned on Tammany campatgn Ht+ erature, He said that the Barber As- phalt Company deliberately stole the original patents of Gen, W. W. Averill, which covered the only successful in- yention of asphalt paving ever made. Twenty years ago, according to Col. Jim Jones, Gen. Averell began suits against the Barber Asphalt Company through his counsel, Thomas Ewing, jr, Decisto nafter decision was rendered in favor of Gen. Averell and. finally a judgment for $300,000 against the com- pany. Thia judgment, says Col. Jim Jones, impaired the financial standing of the |trust and Gen, Greene made every effort in his power to effect a settle- ment. “Gen. Greene endeavored to effect a settlement,” said Col. oJns, “knowing Shevlin, York, Shea and others sat and jtallced, It was not untll yesterday that they woke up. It is said that the (awakening came when Martin Lituleton steps were ren.

He called the names of members of the County Committee who, Wille friendly to McLaughlin, were with McCarren. He advised that some- thing be done with individual membe! Leaders who are friendly with Mo- Laughlin were sent for, and the mis- sionury work of captuting McCarren delegates to the County Committee was stariad. All of to-day have been coming to Willoughby street. They are not the men who do the ij, Dut men who know the men who will hayg It to do on Monday. Many of these dite old- timers, Somo were called, It is sald, to ask thelr song as a personal favor to break away from McCarren and return to.

While the short covering was got urgent to-lay as it was during the'el ing session of the Stock Exchange ‘¢ Friday, quite a long line of short@con- tracts were settled, in some cases at a loss and in others at prices that netted a profit. The close of the market was strang, with a general feeling that the rally would continue next week. ‘The tone was much better all day than for some time, and the buying for out- side accounts good. Quite a little invest- ment purchasing caused by the ad- vice sent out by several large houses that the turn had come and that now was the time to buy, This kind of buying re- moves stocks from the street and helps the advance. It was noticeable that after the bank Statement was Issued prices held firm and in a number of instances advanced. As the street had expected a good statement it was thought that it had been discounted and that prices would decline after its publication, Instead, they held firm and closed close to the best quotations for the day. In the rail- road list Jersey Central gained 4 per cent,, Delaware & Hudson 43-4 per cent, and Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern 41-2 per cent.
