Cuts of Wages Just Before Presiden tial Election Unprecedented. One Man Blamed. There is a possibility of a big strike of mechanics at the Navy Yard.

For some time past there have been murmurings of discontent and Ihe indications point to irouble unless there is some change in the plans of a certain official. If the strike become general, it will involve several thousand men. and suiue exceedingly Interesting questions with regard to the labor uoions and Uncle Sam's treatment of his mechanics in the steam engineering department and Ihe allied trades are likely to be discussed. Ever since the removal or rather trans-ferral of Commander R. T.

Hall, the head of the department of steam engineering, and the appointment of his successor. Captain William M. Parks, there has been more or less i dissatisfaction. The displacement of Commander Hall it was understood, was due to matters of financial administration. In fact, it was an "open secret" that.

Ihe department had been too expensively managed to suit the Navy Department, and it was said, according to common rumor, that it. would be necessary to curtail the expenditures in order to place the department on a substantial basis again. With this idea in view, and bearing in mind that, there was an urgent necessily that the depatrment should be conducted on a diSferent plan, Captain Parks started with faith in the old adage that a new broom sweeps clean. There were hints that there were to be some sweeping reductions in the pay of mechanics. Whether these hints came through the usual official channels or were merely based on substantial sur-misesis not.

altogether known. Sufficient was known, however, to warrant action on the part of Beveral hundred men. The idea of a reduction of pay of government employes on the eve ot an important election was regarded as appal-Ing. The Navy Yard mechanics resolved to bo up and doing and to strike the iron while It was hot. Last night the employes of the Steam Engineering Department met iu secret session in Arcanum Hall, in Bridge street, and according to reports an exciting meeting it was.

too. There were some remarks made at. the meeting that were in the nature of pure sarcasm, particularly when the question of economical administration was discussed and the possibility of tho government acting as a cutter of wages. Today another meeting, that ot tufl Allied Trades, is also being held in secret session at Arcanum Hall. This meeting is In the nature of sympathy, but it is substantial, sympathy.

Judging from what the men who are attending it say. Thorn 1s fear, thev say. that If the en tering wedge of reducing the pay of the steam engineering department mechanics is permitted or tolerated, the pay other mechanics will also be reduced later on. The government mechanics are all union men and if there should be a strike the question of tho government and union labor being arrayed against, each other, it. is sam, win constitute one of the most peculiar of wage controversies.

MAYOR IS WITH McCARREN Appoints David Goldberg From P. F. Lynch's District. Place Had Been Promised as a Reward to Many of Lynch's Supporters, It Is Said. Mayor McClellan again demonstrated this morning that, his sympathies were with Senator McCarren by appointing David Goldberg of 402 Sackman street as city marshal.

Mr. Goldberg, who was recommended for rhe appointnunl by Senator McCarren. was sworn in this morning. Behind the appointment is a rather Interesting local political history affecting the Twenty-third Assembly District, in which Mr. Goldberg resides.

Two years ago, when Patrick F. Lynch, tho leuder of the district, was one of Hie staunch followers ot Sonator McCarren, he turned Goldberg down for reappointment and hod Andrew Burke named for the place. The charter provides that the I appointment is nullified if the appointee fails to file a bond with the city clerk within thirty days. Mr. Burke failed to file the bond within Hie prescribed time.

In the meantime Lynch deserted Hen-ator McCarren and became a follower of the Tammany forces In Brooklyn. Goldberg, with Dr. Charles E. I'anoff. took a prominent part in the primary light with former Assemblyman Mooney lo de-nose Lynch from the leadership.

PUTS UP And, Like Bees After Honey, the G.

0. P. State Managers Flit About National Headquarters. According to stories from a number of sources, the dollars are now flowing into the coffers of the Republican National Committee in a' manner that recalls to the old timers the good old days under Mark Hanna. Nathan Straus charged to day that every broker In "the Street" had been levied on for $500 for the Hich-cock fund.

Republican leaders from adjacent states are coming in like flies after honey, to get some of the newly found wealth. "Somebody has called on every broker in Wall Street for $500 for ihe Republican campaign fund, and what is more. Ihe brokers are. paying up." said Mr. Straus at the Democratic headquarters to-day.

Mr. Siraus is the head of the Business Men's Bryan and Kern League and a member of the Democratic National Advisory Committee. His charge created something of a sensation. "One of my friends." continued Mr. Straus, "told me that he had been held up for $500 by the Republican committee.

He is a broker in Wall Street. Furthermore, he told me that every other broker had been levied on for the same amount, and that they were all paying up. He said it was much like being asked to subscribe for a public dinner for a friend if a man refuses he is looked upon as cheap. "I don't know the individual or the Individuals who are doing this work, but that it is actually going on there can be no doubt. Only this morning another broker friend related to me how he had been held up for the same amount." Mr.

Straus was- very bitter over the canvassing in Wall street, for Repunblican funds. He said that Bryan would win easily. If there were no Republican "corruption fund." He also declared that all the important legislation of this country has been dictated by the trusts and big corporations. General denia's were made bv the minor officials of the Republican National Committee when they heard of Mr. Straus' charge.

Treasurer Sheldon was silent and Chairman Hitchcock was not on hand. Some of the lesser lights, while professing to know nothing of the methods being pursued by Sheldon in gathering up funds, were willing to deny the accuracy of the Straus charge. The tin has gone out pretty generally that the Republican strong box has received many additions during the past few days. In it is definitely known that the campaign fund has been greatly swelled since Mr. Sheldon put out the special appeal, ten days ago.

for $50 contributions. I'p to Tuesday of this week he had received $25,000 from this appeal. On Tuesday he received $6,000. The contributions were coming in with increasing regularity. One story in circulation to-day was that Wall Street had put up $250,000.

Republican leaders axe dropping in on Sheldon and asking for money. One of those who called on him to-day for this purpose, was Senator N. B. Scolt of West Virginia. Scott put up a pitiful tale about, hla to get out the Republican vote among the loggers up in the West Virginia mountains, unless be had money to pay them for the loss of time involved in going to the polls.

"All we have had so far to make the fight on," he said, "are Bibles and hymn books, and you can not go far on that material in West Virginia. We need money. We hav thousands of Republican voters ir. the logging camps who will not vole this year unless we reimburse them for the loss incident, to going to the polls. They will lose two days in going to and from the polling places.

Heretofore we have been in the habit ot making good these losses, but wo can not do it this year unless you fellows here pay up." On leaving the treasurer's office. Senator Scott was asked what success he had had. "None." he replied dismally. When Scott was assured that there was plenty of cash on hand and that he was being bluffed by Sheldon, he said: Well, if that's the case, (tiey are bet- te- liars than I am." At a hunt, this time C. E.

Neidnnzhaus. the wealthy St. Louis brewer came out of Sheldon's room, mopping his brow and looking like a ninn who had been through an ordeal. When asked if ho had Had a hard time of it with Sheldon, Neidring-haus replied: "Oh, thai wasn so baa." The.

The candidate's first argument to southern Democrats together win. his reasons for giving the South its first glimpse of a Republican presidential candidate was delivered here this morning to an auai-euce which packed the Auditorium the largest hall in the city. Judge Taft was met at the station by a large reception committee, composed, it was said, of as many Democrats as Republicans. Mr. Taft will spend the entire day in the stale.

He Is scheduled to speak at Johnson City and Bristol, but applications for many more speeches have been made and It is likely the schedule will be extended. His reception here was characteristic of the extreme cordiality for which the South is noted. He was greeted with "Dixie" by a band before he left his car and the same tune was played while he was being ushered into the Auditorium. Judge Taft, after being Introduced with warm words of praise by H. Clay Evans, paid his respects first to Chattanooga, which, he said, he did not, regard as so very far South and for which he had a strong friendly feeling.

The Judge was In a peculiarly happy mood. He walked up and down the platform, from which he spoke, with his hands behind his back, and hiB sentences came easy but with telling force as indicated by the laughter and enthusiastic responses of his audience. In telling of his excursion to the South when on the bench, when the only danger he felt, was from "over hospitality." he remarked: "There was something about my appearance that suggested the propriety ot a dinner every time I came. The only reason I dreaded coming down here was the excess of hospitality. The warmth of feeling, the cordial reception that I had.

awakened in me a deep sympathy and a great admiration tor this southern country and an earnest desire to put myself as far as I could in the place of the southern men and women and understand them, and understand their point of view. Hence it is that I am here. "When I knew you before, I was engaged in the respectable business of try ing to administer Justice. I have falleni from that state now. and I am engaged in running for the presidency and it seemed to me that with the Interest I have always had in the South it was only proper that I should come here, as a candidate for the presidency.

"I am here to see if we cannot make a beginning of disturbing the tradition of the solid South and relegating It to the place where usless traditions ought to be. The enormous industrial expansion of the South, which has taken place since 1895 and largely under the auspices of Republican administration, ought, It seems to me, to demonstrate to thought ful men of the south that their logical position is in the party which makes such prosperity possible. Right here In the center of the manufacturing'' indus tries' Of the South does it need an argu ment to convince you that the protective system is absolutely necessary to the continuance and maintenance ot your prosperity I know how that thing is adjusted. The congressmen that represent each dis trict are in favor of free trade for every other state, but they are in favor of protection for this particular spot. A Democratic congressman in Southwestern Missouri felt they needed a little pro tection for sine and is in favor of protec tion for zinc against Mexico, but for free trade in everything else.

I think you ought to come over to the party that is in favor of distributing the favors of protection all over the country in order to maintain ail the industries of tho country, as they have been maintained, ou the system of protection. TWO MEN ABLAZE IN STREET. Clothing Ignited hy Explosion in Paint Shop One Victim Dead, the Other May Die. Through the explosion of varnish last night, Benjamin Malta, a boss painler, 32 years old, who has a shop on the ground floor of tho three siory frame building at 3.12 Stockton street, was shockingly burned, and is in a critical condition his home, 323 Vernon avenue, and Abraham Fine, an employe, 24 yeards old, of 122 Thames street, was so badly burned that he died this morning at the Eastern District Hospital, where he was taken by Dr. Jailer.

Maltz was pouring varnish from onti can into another and held a lighted kerosene lamp In one hand. Fine was standing nearby, when the flame from the lamp Ignited the varnish. Both men were knocked down and their clothing was set on fire. Ablaze from head to foot, the men rushed into the street. They were.

Maltz. at his own request, was taken to his home, while Fine was removed to Ihe hospital. The Are spread among the oil and paint in the store and caused a' panic among tho tenants living on the upper floors, but. all the tenants reached Ihe street safety.

The flames extended to the framo buildings on both sides of the paint shop and the firemen had lively work.

The following questions from the charter revision commission were referred by the board to the chief engineer: "First Should the provision with regard to tunnel roads providing for the grant of perpetual franchise be repealed? "Second Should the term of other grants be for a longer period than now provided for by the cliarter and the Rapid Transit law, and if so, for what period?" FUNERAL BISHOP POTTER Public Service in Grace Church, Manhattan, October 20.

Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church from all parts of the United States, four hundred clergymen from the New York diocese of that church and many clergymen from other dioceses are expected to attend the public funeral service of the late Bishop Henry C. Potter, which will be held In Grace Church, Manhattan, on Tuesday morning, October 20. That date will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bishop Potter's consecra tion as bishop. The postponement of the public service until that date was due to the absence at th-e time of Bishop Potter's death of most of the bishops of that church and many of the clergymen, who were attend ing a conference in London. At the ear nest reauest of the authorities of the New York diocese, Bishop Potter's family consented to the postponement.

Admission to the services in Grace Church until shortly before the hour of beginning the services will be by card only, and as the representatives of many religious bodies of which the bishop was a member will be present, the seating room for the public is expected to oe limited. The funeral service will be that of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, and there will be no addresses. The Rt. Rev. David H.

Greer, bishop of xorK, win conauci iue bwi vitu, au afterward there will be a funeral pro cession to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Morningside Heights, where the body of Bishop Potter will be placed in the crypt in front of the altar ot the Tiffany Chapel. In accordance with the views of Bishop Potter no flowers will be used either in Grace Church or at the cathedral, except on the altars. OBITUARY. Joseph Hart.

In a small room in the Kenwood Hotel, a lodging house 31 Bowery, this morning, the body of a man supposed lo be Harry McAllister, although he was reg- istered as Harry Mercer, was found fully dressed on the bed, asphyxiated by a great volume of gas that had evidently been pouring for over an hour from the jet near the window. Joseph McKeon, manager ot the place, said Ihe man's effects consisted of a bank book on the Ofrai'd Trust Company, in the name of Harry McAllister, a number 0f checks signed with that name and made out to the order of J. S. Bachc a Philadelphia brokerage concern that lias offices in this city at 42 Broadway, and JfiO Fifth avenue, 'Manhattan. The aggregate amount of the checks is large.

McKeon said, one of them being for 2,500. There were a number of tellers found on the bureau, aud they were addressed to Harry McAllister at the Herald Square Hotel, where McAllister lived tor suveral years, according to McKeon. It, was said by that a large number of pawn tickets constituted part of the stuff turned over to the police. McKeon said Ihat two weeks ago tho man, was about 5u years old and of good, almost distinguished appearance, came to the Kenwood and registered as Mercer. He had nothing lo do with Ihe other lodgers, had little to say, and passed in and out of the place very quietly.

At rhe Herald Square Hotel II was said that up unlil two years ago, a Harry McAllister was a guest there occasionally, out was generally very quiet and tbad little to sav to any one, Ife had lived there off and on for several years, the manager said, but had not been seen or heard of by them since lliofi. H. A. Henslry manager of Ihe New York offices of Bathe slated Ihat McAllister has been living with the family of J. C.

Seufing. at 707 St. John's place, Brooklyn, and; that he has been interested in some land deal in this borough. Until a short time ago he lived wilh a sister and brother at 1723 Pino street, Phllndr liihi.t. and has a brother in Baltlmote, who is said to be a physician.

Mr. Hensley said that McAllister had but a snnll account with the New York bnrh uf the firm, but. that he understood that his dealings with the main oltlce hnvu been qui to large. McKeon, tho manager of the Kenwood Hotel, notified Ihe coroner that lie would assume the expense ot burying McAllister. MeKcon said later, ihtil McAllister had a stimmcj home in Pine Bluff, N.

C. and that he lived most of Ihe winter on a houseboat in Florida waters. He said that McAllister recently showed him correspandence showing that he had refused an oner of for a big ice plant hH owned in the South. At St. John's place, this afternoon.

Mrs. Seujing said that, her family was well acquainted with Harry McAllister, but that he had not been living with them. He was very wealthy, she said, having a large income from stocks and bonds, but that, ho had been hit hard In the October panic. He was a bachelor, she said, and belonged to a prominent frmily in Philadelphia, where his live brothers aud two sisiers. all wealthy, reside.

With a long, elaborate explanation, President Coler, at the meeting of the Board of Estimate to-day. made formal application for the transfer of sufficient funds to his salary account to enable him to reinstate the 800 men whom he laid off the other day because of the lack of Mr.

Color's request was for the sum of (25,000. The incident furnished the opportunity for a bit of interesting repartee between Mr. Coler and Controller Metz, who in a preliminary report Indicated that he would recommend the denial of Mr. Coler's request. The Coler statement emphatically denied that the salary accounts of the different bureaus in Brooklyn were exhausted through the fact that during the recent primary contests a great many unnecessary appointments were made.

It declared that in the original appropriation for this year he was not given enough money to carry on the work of the different bureaus, and said thiB explained the present deficit. He said that the withholding of the necessary money to carry his office through to the first, of the year did not affect him, but worked a great hardship on the men who had been thrown out of employment. Mr. Metz made it clear after his preliminary report had been read that he would make no recommendation on the request of President Coler untU be had completed a thorough examination of the bprough payrolls. He said that he was opposed to the Indiscriminate transfer of appropriations.

Incidentally, while this talk was going on reference was made by Mr. Metz to the versatile laborers whom Mr. Color has in his employ. "We havo discovered one man who has been working 23 hours a day," said Mr. Metz.

"That clerk of yours, Coyle, is in the brewery business," reported Mr. Coler, "I suppose that's all right. 1 don't see why it is necessary to throw mud at poor little laborer." There would have been more talk on these lines if President Haffen had not interfered. He suggested that if Mr. Metz and Mr.

Color were anxious to argue the question, the best thing thoy could do would be to hire a hall or a private room for the purpose. Report on Coler's Methods. Mr. Metz's preliminary report on the transfer of money requested by Mr. Coler is as follows: "This request is made for the purpose of supplementing the appropriation known as 'Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices.

Maintenance of Buildings and Offices, Salaries and Wages' in the sum of $25,000. Before discussing the merits of the request, as far as it concerns the addition of $25,000 to the account named, it should be said that proper financial administration of the city cannot be subserved if the policy of indiscriminate transfers is to bo followed.lt should be assumed that the appropriations for all accounts made in the annual budget by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and the Board of Aldermen, although the amounts may not cover what appear to rhe department or bureau heads as adequate are nevertheless the maximum sums granted by the said boards for the account. "It is just as much against the spirit of a bona fide budget that a request should be made for a transfer from an account as it is for a request to be made for a transfer to an account. It is self-evident that if an account can stand the transfer from it. too much was asked of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for that, account.

It is fair to assume then, when the Borough President of Brooklyn asks a transfer of $20,000 from the repair account and $5,000 from the equipment and renewal account that he did not, in making his departmental estimate for 1908. make an accurate presentation of his needs. "An examination of the history of the account known as 'Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices, Salaries and Wages' shows the following facts: In 1906, the budget allowance for this account was $271,914.75 In 1907 the budget allowance for this account, was 288,159.73 In 1908, the budget allowance for tnis account was juj.bii.io 'The Board of Estimate and Apportionment, as shown by a comparison of these figures, granted an increase of $6,245 for 1907 over 1906 and $14,512 for 1908 over 1D07. The borough president and the superintendent of public buildings and of- I flees come forward with the request for i 1909 for this same account of $387,656.50. -n increase over the budget allowance of "908 of $84,784.55, which is more thanj four times the increase anowea.

ror two vears from 1906 to 1908. The history of the account absolutely fails to show the necessity for such an extravagant Increase. "Without Regard to Budget Allowance." "Furthermore, the history ot the account shows that the distribution "of the expenditures through the several months In the year have been made without, regard to the budget allowance and without any foresight Whatsoever which would keep a legitimate number of employes on the payrolls with their salaries and wages within the budget allowance. Notwithstanding the budget allowance for 1908 was a large and adequate sum. namely $302,671.75.

the borough president, according to the statement made by himself in his departmental estimate for 1909 actually started off on the first day of the year 1908 with an annual rate of xpendlture equal to $311,157.80, and this excessive rate he states had been increased hv June 30, 1908. to an annual rate of $330,705.30. 1 "These figures indicate that the borough president always knew bv the first of December of a preceding vcar what his budget allowance would be for the succeeding year, he paid no attention to the limits as prescribed by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment which would have required a curtailment of expense In this account, but went ahead adding men to the payroll, increasing his prospective deficiency by a still greater amount. "It would seem that the responsibility for the exhaustion of a year's appropriation in ten months, with all its consequences, must rest not with the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, but with the borough president. One of these consequences might be the closing of the public buildings of Brooklyn, which, I understand, is threatened.

Another minor result, but one distressing to the persons affected may be the enforced Idleness of those emploves who have long been In the employ of the city, due to the fact ihat the allowance which should have been retained for their employment for the full year has been exhausted 1n the pavment of an additional number of recent accessions to the working force of the bureau. Good Tims to Stop Such Methods. "If it should be urged that the practice of making transfers has been common in the past, and that therefore the borough president, in this case, Is entitled to the relief he asks without re-sard to the merits of the case, -the answer is that no better time could be chosen to stop such a practice and place Iyer lite he ana ilr.i le-r to AV eounlly dr a dsuohii-i-s.
