THE SQUARE DEAL.

Washington Post Having learned that the rarefied air at Denver makes it impossible for an orator to speak for a longer period than five minutes, the Los Angeles Times moves that all political conventions be held In Denver after this year. Why not amend the motion so as to Include all the conventions of tbe gentler sex? DID NOT SUIT THE MAYOR McClellan Is Said to Have Flatly Refused to Turn Down McCarren. TALKED IT OVER AT LUNCH. Mayor Suggested That Murphy Get His Brooklyn Friends to Help McCarren. Friends of Charles F.

Murphy stated today that he was not at all pleased with the way Mayor had received his suggestions for the "rehabilitation of the Democratic party In New York City." The first step in Murphy's plan to rehabilitate is the elimination of P. H. McCarren and the organization of which McCarren is the head. Murphy's friends stated to-day that the Mayor had balked at the very outset and refused flatly to co-operate with Murphy in this first step. It was common talk about Tammany Hall to-day that the Mayor and Murphy were again on the outs.

The story which the district leaders were discussing told of the conversation which took place during a luncheon at the Hardware Club on Tuesday. Murphy, it whs alleged, had arranged the luncebon with the Mayor for the purpose of explaining his ideas of the proper method -of obtaining "harmony' "in city and state affairs among the Democrats. Murphy, it was said, opened the con versation by impressing upon the Mayor the necessity for preventing the nomination Of Bryan for President. The Mayor agreed with this. In order to accom plish Bryan's defeat, Murphy explained it was absolutely essential that New York State present an unbroken front, and this could not be achieved while McCarren held control of the Democratic organization in Brooklyn.

It was while Murphy expatiaing on the evil effects oMhe McCarren leadership, it was alleged, -that the mayor first showed signs of dissenting from the argument. "Why don't you get "your friends in Brooklyn 'to Jump In and help McCarren, instead of fighting him?" it was said the mayor asked Murphy. Murphy continued te argument against McCarren for more than an hour, according to the story, the mayor taking McCarren's side throughout. At the close of the argument, it was said to-day. Murphy put thex proposal squarely before the mayor that he should break off all relations with McCarren and recognize the new Coler-Williams organization as the regular Democracy of Kings County.

This, according to the report, the mayor refused flatly to do, and gave Murphy clearly to understand that long as he remained mayor and bolleved that the McCarren organization represented the Democratic party of 2Kings County, he would, recognize that organization. The mayor, it was said, took the position that the action of the state convention had no bearing whatever on the question, and that as long as McCarren and his leaders were elected by -the Democratic voters at the primaries he had absolutely no choice but recognize them and to recognize McCarren as leader. It was said that the Mayor." while disclaiming any desire to take an active part in any political fight. advised Murphy that the way to obtain harmony was for Murphy to live up to the agreement reached when Murphy and the Mavor Datched up their relations. It.

was said that the Mayor accused Murphy of breaking a clear understanding that he was not to interfere with the conduct of affairs in Kings County. The conference, according to the Tammany men, broke up in a way not at all satisfactory to Murphy and no communi-catfBns have passed between Murphy and the Mayor since that time. From the general conversation aDoui Tammany Hail, it is clear that Murphy's attempt to eliminate McCarren from poll-s tics Is anything but popular. Tammany has developed a brand or regularity and lovadtv unknown to any other political organization In the country and many of the leaders who are plainly not in sympathy with Murphy's effort, while expressing the highest regard for McCarren. say whenever questioned that "it seems necessary." In private, however.

they admit that they see no Justification for Murphy action. MARRIAGE LICENSES Issued in' Brooklyn for Twenty -four Hours Ended at Noon To-day. James A. Harrison. 41 years.

SHE WANTS TO REFORM, Elizabeth Pearsall Asks to Be Sent to the Workhouse. Will Come Out a Better Woman) She Says Intemperance Caused Her Downfall. une of tne most pathetic cases of the evil results of intemperance was brought to light in the Butler street court this morning, when Elizabeth Pearsall, 65 years of age, was brought into court by Officer Martin Ryan of tho Hamilton street station, on a charge of vagrancy. The Pearsalls are known throughout Long iBland as belonging to one of the oldest and best families. In Manhasset the Pearsall homestead was one of the prides of the place.

It was here that Elizabeth was born, and she spent the greater part of her younger days on the larm. Tiring of farm life, she came to New York and acquired a for wine and song, which led to ter ruin. After speeding a few years In New York In this fa.eh.ion, she determined to try the simple again, ana went to New Haven, living with some friends in that town, The call of New York proved too much, however, and she again came here, where she has been living since, earning her living as best she could. About 9 o'clock last night the woman approached Officer Ryan to be locked up, as she was homeless. He took her to the Hamilton street station, and this morning she begged the Judge to sena ner to tne workhouse for a period long enough to keep her away from drink, which, she declared, had been the cause oi her downfall: I am sure." she said, "that if I urn kept away from all temptation for a few months I will come out a better woman more able to battle with the problem of lite, and ot earning my living In a respectable fashion, thus beginning my life all over again.

I will look upon mv de tention as a means of redemption for me, rather than a further disgrace, and I am not too oia to pront by the lesson." Elizabeth Pearsall is a remarkably well preserved woman, and to look at her bright eyes, her smooth complexion, with out a wrinkle, and without any sign of dissipation, one would scarcelv credit her checkered career. She was sentenced by Judge Gelsmar to six months In the work' house at Blackwell's Island. AGRICULTURE AND ANTIQUITY. Problems of the Farm Curiously Ignored by the Ancients. Why agriculture, the first industry to be learned, and so obviously the most fundamental, was the last to be developed, is one of the most baffling' myo- nD.

VI U1BIU1J. iUUQ Ul.l YtllB at. Jb afresh as oner stands before a certain glass case in the Egyptian quarter of the British Museum, wherein Is a little group of farm utensils a fractured wooden plow, a rusted sickle, two sticks tied together with a leathern thong," and several tassels that had hung oiu the horns of oxen. To be sure, these Implements were used three'thousand years ago they were found In th, tomb of Setl I but one remembers that when Egypt was using these bread tools, no better than those ot the barbarians about her, she had a most elaborate government, an and navy, and art and literature. The records and relics of other nations, down throagh history show the same strange Incongruity.

For thousands of years the wise men of the world absolutely ignored tbi problems of the farm. A farmer remained either a serf or a to the ox." Even the masterful old Pilgrim Fathers had no plows at all nothing but hoes and sharpsticks, for the first twelve years of their pioneering. And, therefore, for thousands of years there was Hunger. Hunger, moreover, not only in far-off ages and countries, not only in the England of 1709, but in America, within the memory of men and women now living. In 1837 there' were wheatv4ounties in Maine and bread riots in New York City.

Flour mills were closed for lack of wheat. Starving men fell in the streets of Boston and Philadelphia. Mobs of laborers, maddened by the fear of famine, broke into warehouses and carried away sacks of food. Even in the Middle West the prairie paradise of farmers many a family fought against death with the serf's weapon of Black Bread. Herbert N.

Ex-Borough President Bermel Member of Party Which Sailed Torday. GOT WAGONLOAD OF FLOWERS Big Floral Steamship Sent to the Kev. Father Cullen Great Enthusiastic Crowd. Fully 2,000 people gathered at the Cun-ard line pier In Manhattan this morning to bid Godspeed to their friends who were going on the steamship Slavonia on the pilgrimage to Rome to participate in the jubilee of Pope Plus X. The Cunard official stated that they had never seen such an outpouring to witness the departure of a steamer.

Tbe ship was so crowded by 11 o'clock, one hour before sailing timet that late arrivals had great difficulty in worming their way up the gangplank and through the passageways in the ship At the foot of the grand staircase, and at every available place about the first cabin, flowers were stacked up. These tokens were sent by the parishioners of the priests for the most part, and were in the form of horseshoes and ships. One beautiful piece for the Rev. J. J.

Cullen was in the form of a steamship. It was about five feet long, and attracted great attention from all on board. Right Rev. Charles E. McDonnell, bishop of Brooklyn, who heads the pilgrimage, received many flowers.

A delegation of girls from the Pro-Cathedral on Jay street, arrived early to see htm off, with several bunches of roses from the girls of the church. Many priests were present to bid their fellow workers and superiors goodby and everyone seemed in excellent spirits. A wagon load of flowers came down for Joseph Bermel, the retiring borough president of Queens, who is a member of the party and occupies stateroom No. 19 with Mrs Bermel. Conspicuous among these flowers was a large horseshoe from the Second Ward Democratic Club of Queens.

Harold KounUe of Denver, tbe son of one of Colorado's leading millionaires, also sailed on the ship with his bride to whom he was married a week ago. They were interested spectators of the hearty demonstration given by the Brooklyn people. The Slavonia was delayed seven mln-V utea in starting on account of the time consumed by the throng of visitors In leaving. The first warning was sounded fifteen minutes before the unsual time, and it was almost an hour before the ship was cleared. A great crowd gathered on the end of the pier as the great ship drew out Into the river, and waved their salutations to the passengers who were drawn up three deep along the rails.

It was certainly an auspicious beginning of the pilgrimage Bishop McDonnell expressed himself as greatly pleased at the demonstration. The Slavonia sails from New York direct to Gibraltar, where the Brooklynites will spend a few hours, and then go on to Naples, Trieste and Flnne. The party will be gone about two months, and besides visiting Rome will go to Lourdes, in celebration of the golden Jubilee of the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin at that famous shrine. They will arrive there the latter part of May, and will be met by Very Rev. Eugene Porclle, the pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes of this borough, who will go abroad in a couple of weeks.

Higgins, one of the receivers of the Brooklyn Bank, has brought suit against his, fellow receiv-- Bruyn HaSbrouck, to compel Mr. Hasbrouck to Jay the fees of the Higgins lawyers in the fight made by Higgins and Charles, M. Stafford to oust Charles A. Dolson, as counsel to the, receivers and give the place to Stafford. Mr.

Hasbrouck was served wtih the summons and complaint as soon as he reached his office this morning. Lawyer Charles M. Stafford, of 379 Fulton street, who has fought Hasbrouck from the first, is one of the lawyers whose fees Hasbrouck is asked to pay. The fee of David B. Hill also is said to be Included in tho bill which Mr.

Higgins says Hasbrouck must pay. Receiver Hasbrouck laughed as If he thought it was a good joke when he heard that bis co-receiver had asked the courts to make him pay Stafford and Hill. Mr. Hasbrouck heard the news before he was served with the papers by a clerk from Lawyer Stafford office. "I'm surDrlsed," he said with a laugh.

The fees of Stafford and Hill, with other legal expenses Incurred by Higgins against bis fellow receiver, amount to J2.24.65, according to the complaint. Mr Higgins says the service were rea sonably worth this amount and that he paid the amount In full before bringing the action to make Mr. Hasbrouck reim burse him. Charles M. Stafford Ib coun sel for Mr.

Higgins in the suit against Stafford, and he not only demands hat tne upstate receiver, snail pay tne coun sel fees of Higgins in past actions, but shall pay the costs and disbursements in the present action. The suit is against Mr. Hasbrouck personally and not against the Brooklyn Bank. The complaint does not state in detail the theory by which Hasbrouck personally is expected pay the fees of the Higgins lawyers, but it leaves the inference that Hasbrouck Is expected to do this because his conduct as a receiver made it necessary for Hlggina to hire lawyers and take legal proceedings In order to protect his own Interests and the Interests of the depositors and stock holders. The Bull against.

Hasbrouck grows out of the long and bitter fight between Higgins, who was determined to make Staf ford counsel to the receivers, end Hasbrouck, who wanted to retain Charles A. Dolson In that office. Before Higgins was appoint receiver and while Hasbrouck was a temporary receiver, Dolson was appointed counsel. After the appointment ot Higgins as co. receiver there was a clash over the Job of counsel to the receiver.

Higgins insisted that Stafford should have the Job. Hasbrouck would not hear of Stafford. Hasbrouck offered to ask the advice of the court, but this plan was not agreed upon. Finally Hasbrouck made a formal contract In writing with Dolson, giving him the appointment as counsel under terms that were regarded exorbitant. A fight was made and Justice Belts con firmed the contract, after modifying It so that Dolson would get only about J35.000 for eighteen months work.

Higgins was still determined to oust Dolson, and he took the matter to the Appellate Division of the Third Division There he secured a reversal of the order confirming the contract. The Appellate Division did not think It proper or In accordance with public policy for Dolson, a deputy attorney general, to be taken from the attorney general'a office to bo-come counsel to the receivers. Setting aside the Dolson contract did not settle the receivers' row by any means. Receiver Hasfcrouck was perfectly willing to accept local counsel, but he didn't want Stafford. He was willing to accept counsel agreed upon by the depositors committee of the Brooklyn Bank.

The depositors suggested several names, including that of Assistant District Attorney Elder. Mr. Hasbrouck wsnted Mr. Elder, or one of the other men satisfactory to the depositors, but Mr. Higgins was still obdurate.

It was not until after the depositors committee got disgusted, and it seemed certain that the courts would either oust the receivers or compel them to agre on counsel, that the receiv ers agreed upon former Surrogate James C. Church and J. E. Swanstrom. The counsel agreed to servo at a fixed compensation of $7,000 each.

The depositors were rejoiced when agreement was made as to counsel and thf newspapers announced that peace reigned In the Joint receivership. That announcement about the peace didn't please Mr. Higgins and he came out with a statement to lot the people of Brook lyn know that, although he had agreed upon counsel, he had not forgiven Mr. Hasbrouck. Judges Church and Mr.

Swanstrom went to work regardless of tho squabbles of receivers and made remark ably progress in getting the affairs of teh suspended bank Into orderly ahape. In the lasts few days Judge Church and his associate have been handicapped somewhat hv the quarrel of the receivers. It was said two or three days ago that there was soma trouble over the attitude of Mr. Higgins toward certain contemplated proceedings. A man who has byen onneolod with the receivership said that Higgins was unrelenting in his attitude toward Mr.

Hasbrouck end that Mr. Hasbrouck bad been subjected to abuse In the exciting quarrels between the two Mcolvers. Mr. Higgins In his complaint recites a part of the hlatory of the receivership and says that he was In duty bound to safeguard the funds of the bank, both for his own protection and that of the creditors and stockholders. He says that he was bound to keep the -saia wrongrul and Illegal, wasteful and extra vagant contract (the Dolson contract) from being confirmed and to resist and defeat the same, and to do so was he was necessarily compelled to.

and he did retain and employ counsel at large personal expense, end he was forced and compelled to, and he did. prepare and cause to be prepared voluminous answers, affidavit, petitions and other papers, and personally, and by his said counsel, appear and attend before the Special Term and the appellate division of the Supreme i.ourt In Albany and othr places, and he was put to other necessary costs and expenses thTeln. amounting altogether to which amount said services, were justly and reaaonably worth, and all of which sum of $2,723.55 he has ptd before the commencement of this action."

Three of the Four Delegates at Large and Many District Delegates There. GEN. WOODFORD IN THE CHAIR State Chairman Woodruff and William Berri on Hand No Withdrawal of Hughes' Name. General Stewart L. Woodford declared most emphatically to-day to the Republican delegates to the National Convention, who were in conference at- the Hotel Astor, that Governor Hughes- would not withdraw his name as a candidate for the presidential nomination.

General Woodford said: "Any statement from any source that Governor Hughes' name will be withdrawn from the presidential canvass is absolutely without foundation. He has never sought the presidency. There is no living man whose support he has asked. He consented to the use of his name and his name is at the service of our- party until the convention has made its decision. If nominated he will do his best to secure the viqtory of our party in November.

If not nominated he will have no regrets and will remain, as always, a loyal Republican. He is to-day for more interested in securing needed legislation in New York than he is in any possibly candidacy for any ofnee." The delegates met in response to -a, re-quest from General Woodford to discuss the best method of carrying out the direction of the state convention to use all honorable means to bring about the nomination of Governor Hughes for President. None of tbe officers of the state committee were consulted regarding the meeting and It was generally known that the step did not meet the approval of State Chairman Woodruff, There was some expectation that the state committeemen might make some trouble for the delegates at largo, but apparently they decided that it would cost nothing to avoid trouble. Mr. Woodruff was all smiles to-day.

He said that although puch a conference was "unusual" be could see no possible objectlou to it. The call for the conference was signed by General Stewart L. Woodruff, Seth Low and Frederick R. Hazzard, three of the delegates at large to the national convention, E. H.

Butler, the fourth delegate at large, being in Europe. The conference was called to order by General Woodford In the Pompeiln room at 10:30 o'clock. In his opening address the general said that the delegates had been called together to confer as to what should be done to carry out the instructions of the State 'Convention. "In the Republican party there can be no instructions from the State Convention that can be binding on the delegates from congressional districts. Republican conventions have decided that every delegate is entitled to a vote for himself; that is the law of Republican conventions.

"Our delegation cannot meet tor organization until the day before the convention meets in Chicago. No caucus can be held that is binding; 77 of tho delegates might decide on one man, but the 78th might vote lor nimseit. "Our state convention directed us to use all honorable methods for the nom ination of Governor Hughes. The political conditions of our state and country are very peculiar. I don't think.

In all my long life, that I have ever seen the Ra-publican party so seriously torn. That may be a little too strong I might say seriously divided, by different questions, as we are In the State of New York today. We have a Republican governor In the state with a Republican legislature, but every state officer below governor belongs to the Democratic party. We have a majority in tbe State Senate, and yet upon a measure on which our governor feels deeply and keenly our Senate divides. We have a large majority In the Assembly, and yet measures in which the governor feels a deep interest rail to pass.

"We are entering into a Presidential campaign with serious problems before us. We have just passed through a panic and If we carry the country this fall after the panic of last fall, It. will, I think, be the first time that a party has done It under the same conditions. "We ought not to act so as to anger any supporters of William H. Taft.

We believe that Republican success Is best for the welfare of the country and we should select the best means to accomplish a victory." The chairman then said that the conference had been called to get a frank expression of Ideas from the delegates. Be then asked who the conferenc would have as permanent chairman, and on motion of State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, the General was made the permanent chairman. Former Mayor Low then moved that tho conference go Into executive sisslon. William Herri, of Brooklyn, opposed executive session, and declared that ton much publicity could not be given to the wora or tne conference.

Chairman Woodruff thnnirht hot h. delegates might talk more freely If in executive session, but fr. Berri again demanded what there was to keep secret. The chairman announced that Invitations had beep Bent to every one of the seventy-eight, delegates. He said that he had received acceptances from twenty-eight.

Twenty-three had sent excuses, but all but four of these delegates wero In sympathy with the objects of tho conference. Twenty-fuor of the delegates, the general said, had paid no attention to the Invitation. Mr. Berri thought that the conference might get along faster If a committee was appointed to arrange a plan for coming sessions. He said that, he did not wish to be a member of that committee, but he thought it might be well to have such a committee appointed, meet and report back to the conference.

Alexander V. Campbell, an alternate delegate from the Thirteenth Congressional District, moved that such a committee be appointed, and the chairman named Mr. Campbell, Mr. Low and former Representative William H. Douglas, from tie Fifteenth Congressional District aa such committee.

The committee went Into session and the conference adjourned until 1 o'clock to accept General Woodford's invitation to luncheon. NOT A LARGE SINNER. Savannah News Secretary Loeb's excuse, that he actually owned only 100 shares of street railway stock, and not 4.600 shares standing. In his name, (alls to mind the old plea In palliation that the fault Is contingent upon the size. It is alleged of a famous actress that on one occasion she excused herself on the ground that It was "such a little one." that it ought not to count.

And so. it seems, It Is in the case of the Loch street, railroad chares. He admits owning a little, innocent 100 shares, but virtuously denies owning a sinful and wicked 4,600 shares. CRUEL! I Florida Tlmes-L'nlon (Pem.i. It seems but yesteryear that Bryan was the "Boy Orator of the Platte." and now some soulless paragrapher spoils It all by tailing him the "Grand Old Man of the Democratic Party." A GREAT DIFFERENCE.
