Smith Cox, "Boss of Hempstead," Prominently Named to Head New York Republicanism, Naval Officer Kracke announced to-day that he could not be the next chairman of the Republican State Committee. He said in effect that he had enough troubles at home, but one of the reasons 1 is thought to be the attitude of Secretary of the Treasury MaeVeagh, his who holds that Federal officer holders should not take too prominent a part In pertisan conflicts, in view of the orders of President and President Roosevelt on which Cleveland, in effect. Mr.

Kracke, however, says that it is his view that the state chairman should come from a country district, because the candidate for Governor, Henry L. Stimson, comes from the City of New York. "Are you going to take the state chairmanship?" Mr. Kracke was asked. "I don't see how I can." replied Mr.

Kracke. "I do not want to be represented as unwilling to take up my share of the burdens of the campaign, and that is one reason I did not to discuss the matter at Saratoga. felt that every man care, should be willing to aid in the ive movement, and if it was plain that it should 009 necessary for me to accept the chairmanship it would not do to refuse necessary work. But on account of my connection with the movement in the county, and with the affairs of my own Assembly district, I knew that I should have all I could do here. The position I have been placed in by the progress of events Kings will occupy much of my time and attention in this campaign, and then there is my own Assembly district, andthe Congressional district situation in which I am interested and forced to take a part of the work.

"Any man who is chosen for the state chairmanship should have to devote his entire time to the campaign. That is what I would do. and feeling that way, I could not well take the place with all the work I have to do here in the county. "Boss" Smith Cox Talked Of for Place "It is believed that a member of the state committee from a country district. one who is in touch with the sentiment Cutside of New York City, should be selected for the place.

Smith Cox. who lives in Nassau County, is much talked of for the place, although there are several other men up the state who are being considered." Smith Cox is known as the "boss" of Hempstead, and it is considered peculia ly suitable that he should be a candidate for state chairman. inasmuch as ne would be near the real seat of authority at Oyster Bay. It is generally understood that Roosevelt will run this campaign and it would undoubtedly prove very convenient for him to have the state committee chairman at his elbow to receive orders. "Coming down to the local situation, Mr.

Kracke, what are you going to do about Senator Burlingame's renomination?" "I could not say. I was very much surprised to see the story appearing in The Eagle the other day, and to think that Senator Burlingame should take the which was reflected in your arattitude ticle." "Senator Burlingame did not even know that the article was. to appear in the paper, and he was not consulted about it," replied the reporter. "He had left Saratoga at 7 o'clock that morning. and did not know about the rumor that" he was to be refused a renomination by you until he read it in The Eagle." Burlingame Matter Grieves Naval Officer.

"I think I saw Mathe, Senator at the convention hall day," remarked Mr. Kracke, "and I was grieved to read the story. For Burlingame has not talked to me about the matter, and it has not yet been settled." "There are many things to be considered, before the Senatorial nomination comes up," continued Mr. Kracke. "There is the question as to the Congressional nomination, as to which district that is to g0 to, before anything else can be considered.

We will have to hold conferences about it. But I consider reprisals beneath me, That is not my method in politics." "Well. do you think that your district will support Senator Burlingame's renomination?" Mr. Kracke was asked. that I could not.

say," he replied. Senator Burlingame was seen later, and confirmed the fact that he had left Saratoga before the "tip" was given from the Progressive camp that Burlingame was to be turned down as an act or reprisal on Mr. Swazey, the leader of Burlingame's Senatorial district. He left on the o'clock train the morning the word went forth he was to be sacrificed. "I have not talked with Mr.

Kracke about my renomination," added Burlingame. BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Thief Gets Loot From Bay Ridge Home and Makes Clever Escape. The home of K. Purpura, a Bay Ridge grocer, was robbed in broad daylight yesterday afternoon while the owner W99 working in his store at 6922 Third avenue, directly across the street.

A gold watch valued at $40, a gold chain worth $32 and $40 in cash was the booty carried away from a front bedroom on the second floor at 6925 Third avenue, occupied by Joseph Schlero, who works for Purpura and boards at his home. Mrs. Purpura was away at the and her husband noticed some one moving in the front room of his home. He took an ax and went over, but found no one. From a bureau drawer he secured a revolver and started looking for the intruder.

He knew no one had left the house by the front door, 50 he followed the open way to the roof. There was 10 one there. The thief had gone down through the scuttle in the last house of the solid block. A family by the name of ford occupies the top floor, and Miss Batsford had heard a commotion in he hallway. She rushed out to See a man breaking through the locked door that led to the scuttle.

"What are you doing here?" asked Miss Batsford. "I am fixing the roof," calmly replied the robber, who was a young, thick-set, red-headed and slightly freckled man. With that he brushed past her, went down the stairway and disappeared. He wore a black slouch hat and a dark suit. Young Schlero, who feels the loss of all his savings very keenly, reported the matter to the police.

ROYAL ENGAGEMENT DENIED. Lisbon, October 1-A semi-official denial is given in the press to-day to the old report that King Manual would marry Princess Victoria ouise, the daughter of Emperor William. VOLIVA CONTROLS ZION CITY. Successor of Dowie Takes Possession. Even Children Will Pay Tithes.

Chicago, October 1-Wilbur Glenn Voliva, successor to the late John Alexander Dowie, will take possession of Zion City as overseer to-day under the terms of an agreement with the receiver of the estate. By the provisions of the deal Voliva makes a loan of $700,000 from a loan company of Chicago, in return for which he give: a trust deed for $300,000. the extra $200.000 being a premium for Anancing the deal. The $700.000 ins paid to Receiver Thomas and the estate which includes a large acreage over 2,000 city lots, and other property passes into the hands of Voliva. "He must pay 5 per cent.

interest on the principal semi-ennually and every two years must make a payment of $100,000 on the principal. The purchase gives Voliva undisputed possession of Zion City, with the exception of a few hundred lots and tracts of land which are held by deed issued from the office Receiver Thomas. Oatside of these small tracts all of the Zion property hereafter will be disposed of on the basis of the old Dowie lease for 1,100 years only, the provisos of the lease being prohibitions against the use or sale of liquor, tobacco, pork or oysters. Volva's forces are well organized, he says, even the children among his followers paying tithes and giving up their all. while a number of adults have turned in all of their property or will mortgage it to help him pay for the estate.

TAFT PARDONS SUGAR MEN Boyle, Coyle, Hennessey and Kehoe Go Free. President Reconsidered His Refusal of the Recommendation of Henry L. Stimson. Word was flashed over the wire to-day of the pardon of Edward A. Boyle, John R.

Coyle, Patrick J. Hennessey and Thomas Kehoe. These men were formerly sugar weighers in the employ of the American Sugar Refining Company and had all been sentenced to terms in prison for fraud in the Custom House weighing cases. These men were employed in a minor capacity and claimed they were acting under orders of men higher up. The pardon of Oliver Spitzer attracted a great amount of comment last May, and at the trial of Charles R.

Heike he appeared as a witness for the government and stated in court that he had been pardoned. It was the testimony of Spitzer which resulted in the conviction of Heike, Spitzer had been sentenced to two years in the Federal prison at Atlanta, but had only served a short time. Henry L. Stimson, special attorney for the government in the prosecution of these cases, made representations to President Taft that these men had given him valuable information, which he had used in the trial, and made it possible for him to convict the men higher up, namely, Gerbracht and Heike. It was less than a month ago that the President refused to grant pardons to these men, but he reconsidered and, acting on the recommendation of Mr.

Stimson, pardoned all four. Mr. Stimson was nominated fo- Governor of the State of New Yr at the Republican convention. COAL BEDS UNDER THE SEA. They Will Be Worked for the First Time in 285 Years.

Washington, October 1-Coal beds under the sea along the Firth of Forth, Scotland, which have not been worked for 285 years, are soon to be operated by a company which is sinking shafts at Valleyfield, near Dunfermline, according to a report to this government by Consul Howard Van Sant of Dunfermline. The first project of draining the coal pits by machinery was located at this point, together with the sinking of a coal pit under water in the year 1590. In 1625 a storm destroyed the moat from which the coal was taken, and the coal beds have remained idle ever since, though repeated attempts have been made to work them. The company which proposes to operate them is building a miners' settlement Valleyfeld for 4,000 or 5,000 inhabitants. An interesting experiment in housing the miners is to be made.

A dozen houses, near the water. are each to be provided with bathrooms for the miners. The workers are urged to have two suits of clothes, one for use underground and the other for wearing to and from the colliery, and to avail themselves of the baths daily immediately upon ascending from the mine. According to Consul Van Sant's report. an inquiry at the company's office elicited the information that only about one in five of the miners will avail themselves of these privileges, although the cost to each miner would not be more than $10 a year.

"Non-Partisan Judiciary" Clause Is Indorsed Without a Dissenting Vote. It was the expected that happened at noon Republican Judiciary Convention, which Part II of the Supreme Court, Kings" County Court House. the 197 delegates from the Second Judicial District unanimously renominating Supreme Court Justice Samuel T. Maddox and Garret J. Garretson and nominating Harrington Putnam, appointed by Bullet Justice Samuel T.

Maddox. Governor Hughes last fall, when Justice Gaynor resigned to run for had been persistent rumors that something else would be done even up the minute the convention was called to order by to Jacob Brenner, but these rumors didn't come from the delegates themselves. To a man the delegates announced beforehand just what the convention would do. In the convention the secretary cast one ballot for all three candidates. The convention was held in the same court room where judiciary conventions have assembled for many years past and where the Democratic delegates will meet to select their ticket.

This fact was commented upon by both spectators. of whom there were many, and the delegates alike, and the query most often made was whether anything was known of the sentiment of the Democratic delegates toward the three men selected to-day. Some thought Justice Putnam, a Democrat, sure of indorsement; Justice Maddox, a Republican, most likely to get one, and that there was little or no chance that Ju Justice Garretson would be on the Democratic ticket. After Mr. Brenner had called the convention to order it rapidly shaped itself into organization with Borough President Cromwell of Richmond as the permanent chairman.

There was some little enthusiasm, too, when the delegates resolved that the convention, "in harmony with the principles of the Republican party and in accord with the conduct of the Republican State Convention pledges Justice Harrington Putnam. itself to the platform of a non-partisan judiciary and to the retention in office of faithful and efficient justices." This resolution went through with a bang and the nominations were made with all the eloquence possessed by the three men lected to perform that office. Elmer G. Sammis of Brooklyn nominated Justice Maddox. Eugene N.

L. Young of Queens County nominated Justice Garretson and Herbert M. Warbasse of Brooklyn nominated Justice Put. nam. Kings County had 142 of the 197 delegates in the convention, and it was freely admitted in the convention hall that, while no opposition to the plan of naming all three sitting justices for another term, the Kings County delegates would vote as a unit.

There was no necessity, however, for any show of strength, AS the delegates were unanimously corded. Even to the most acute listener. the applause which greeted the name of Justice Putnam, Democrat, was of little less enthusiasm. if at all, than that which met the mention of the names of his two Republican associates. But it was distinctly noticeable that when Lawyer Warbasse eloquently referred to the part Governor Hughes had in the selection of Justice Putnam as well as the part that Governor Hughes had had in state politics and probably would have as justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

not a delegate applauded his name it was mentioned four times in Lawyer Warbasse's speech. Both Justice Maddox and Justice Garretson complete a full term of fourteen years on December 31 next. Justice Maddox is said to be 55 years of age, and Justice Garretson is 63. 1f elected, the former can serve a full term and Justice Garretson seven years. Justice Putnam is the youngest of the three judges.

His service under Governor Hughes' appointrent also concludes on December 31 next. INJURED ON STREET. Patrick Kennedy, 40 years old, who lives at 1548 Fulton street, was crossing from a trolley car to the sidewalk, last night, in front of his home, when he slipped on a fruit skin. He fell forward and his head struck one of the elevated supporters. He was knocked insensible for a few minutes and Dr.

Vause was summoned from the Swedish Hospital. After being treated, the injured man was taken to his home. BAKERS IN A TANGLE OVER BREAD ORDINANCE "Sale by Weight" Order, Put in Force To-day, Stirs Wrath. NO ARRESTS IN BROOKLYN. City Inspectors Find That There Is Much Confusion Over Matter.

The ordinance that bread shall be sold by weight, making it necessary that every loaf shall have its label showing the customer the number of ounces it contains, went into effect to-day, and bread traders all over the city are in a merry tangle trying to obey the law and at the same time adjust themselves to the new conditions that the ordinance demands. The bakers, retail and sale, are kicking, and the customers are kicking. and about the only satisfied person connected with the new ordinance with the new ordinance is Commissioner Driscoll, who has the job of inforcing it. He is acting in accordance with the law, and is sure of winning out in the end, though it was apparent to-day from the way things were going in Brooklyn that the commissioner would have a mighty fight on his" hands, for the bakers who aren't union men were threatening to join, and the officers of unions said they would buck Mr. Driscoll to the finish.

There were four of Mr. Driscoll's inspeetors abroad in Brooklyn this moraing. They had not reported to him at the City Hall up to this afternoon. Mr. Driscoll said his inspectors would meet him at 5 o'clock.

He wished to have it understood I that his inspectors, though they are special policemen, would make no arrests. They were working under a civil ordinance, he said, and not a penal law, and their job to-day WaS merely to inspect and report, and not 10 nab anyone they found violating the law. Boss Bakers to Make Test Case. The boss bakers in Brooklyn recently decided to make a test case this morning by getting out an injunction, as soon 45 the first man should be arrested, restraining Mr. Driscoll from enforcing the ordinance.

This plan miscarries to-day because of Mr. Driscoll's decision not to make any arrests, and it is apparent that this puts it up to the boss bakers to proceed in some other manner. This problem was worrying them this afternoon. It was reported that some of the wholesale bakers had a conference to-day and that the result would be that the price of bread would go up. The new ordinance does not regulate the prices at all.

Tse bakers may sell 12pounce loaves for 4 cents, or they may sell twenty ounces for 4 cents, just as they care to. It is the baker who sells the most ounces for the smallest price that is going to get the public's trade. Commissioner Driscoll said he had nothing to do with that. His work was to see only that bread went by weight. Bread was selling to-day at the retail bakeries at about all prices, but at the grocery stores and delicatessan shops the price was the same as yesterday-5 cents the loaf, regardless of weight.

This was where the bakers were putting up a howl to-day. They had their weight labels with them-that is, all those did who began right away obeying the law. for there were some who admitted that they hadn't--while the grocers and delicatessen people had no labels. They said they would not label their bread unless the bakers supplied them with the labels. The bakers had not done this, this morning, declaring that it was up to the grocers and delicatessen people to get their own labels.

Accordingly there were various sales of prices in Brooklyn to-day. The grocers and delicatessen men were getting a large part of the trade because most of them were selling unlabeled bread at 5 cents a loaf. This was discrimination, said the bakers, and the grocers ought to be made to comply with the ordinance, too. This would be taken to sioner Driscoll, the bakers said. Commissioner Driscoll's attention was called to-day by The Eagle to the fact that grocers and delicatessen men were selling by the loaf and he said that this would be remedied.

His inspectors were after the baken; to-day, he said, and when they had been brought into line the grocers would be looked after. He pointed out that it was a pretty big job, too big to be taken care of all in one day. Trouble Over Labels. Of twenty-one retail bakers on the Park Slope who were questioned to-day, thirteen said they were complying with the ordinance, and the other eight said they had not been supplied with labels yet, but would obey the law as soon 33 they had been. There was a marked ditference in the prices of bread in South Brooklyn.

Onebaker was selling fourteen ounces, another thirteen, and another fourteen and one-half, and another fifteen for five cents. For six cents sixteen and a half ounces, eighteen ounces, htirteenn and a half ounces and eighteen and a half ounces could be bought at different prices. One baker sold twelve ounces for 4 cents, fourteen for 5 cents, eighteen for 6 cents. twenty-four for 8 cents and twenty-eight for 10 cents. Another sold thirteen ounces for 5 cents and twenty-one ounces for 8 cents.

A third sold thirteen ounces for 4 cents, fifteen for 5 cents, eighteen and a half for 6 cents and twenty-three for 8 cents, while a fourth sold fourteen an da half ounces for 5 cents, sixteen and a halt for 6 cents and twenty-two for 8 cents. The ordinance was termed a nuisance by bakers and customers all over the city. The public asked the bakers questions in all the stores. and in the Eastern District, where many wholesale bakeries are, there was a steady run of complaints because bread was not delivered on time. Each loaf had to be weighed separately and the label and this took time, so that bread that was due before breakfast arrived more often after breakfast.

and loaves due at noon did not get there on time. Customers at retail places demanded five cent loaves and received fourteen ounces in some places, and then complained that the loaves were not as bis as they were accustomed to get. They offered the larger loaves, then, to find that they had to pay 18 cents. Then began the rush to grocery and delicatessen man to get five cent loaves that were unlabeled. Commissioner Driscoll has given the bakers to understand that they may place labels reading several ounces less than the actual weight of the bread when first weighed, to allow for shrinkage as staleness comes on.

The bakers to-day said that this was never placed in writing. however. and, as the ordinance said nothing about it, they were afraid to take the chance of putting on such labels and perhaps getting the commissioner after them. This increased their trouble, they said, since they were not able to gauge the weight of their loaves. The bakers in Flatbush and other parts of Brooklyn were having the same diffculties as bakers in South Brooklyn and the Eastern District; bread was selling at as many different prices, and the same general dissatisfaction existed.

One baker in Flatbush refused to label his bread with pasters, saying he would not risk poisoning his customers. He has made an apparatus that stamps the weight into the loaf and said he would use that until he Joined the union. REFEREES APPOINTED. REFEREES APPOINTED. By Kelly.

Lapelyea Says That Over $15,000 Was Taken-Suicide Treasurer Provides for Restitution. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. October 1-Despite the authorized statement of County Treasurer, Lewis on Wednesday, that the accounts of J. Frank Baukney of Hempstead, the deputy treasurer who killed himself on Tuesday afternoon, were correct, it has A developed that Baukney and William W. Rapelyea, the bookkeeper in Treasurer Lewis' office were defaulters.

Rapelyea has confessed that they took $15,000, but George H. Baukney, brother of the cide. believes it will be nearer $40,000. George H. Baukney says he thinks enough property was left by his brother to cover his share of the defaication, and adds that it it should prove inadequate full restitution will be made.

Rapelyea was arrested yesterday afternoon about the time Baukney was being buried with full Masonic honors. He had confessed to being implicated in the looting of the county treasury. The following undated letter. stained with blood, was found beside the suicide's body: "My Dear Wife-1 know this cowardly act of mine will almost kill you. Yet if I should have decided not to do it you would have suffered still more in the future.

1 cannot bear to meet my friends since the discovery of treachery of one who. I supposed, was my closest friend. Since his confession to me of about ten days ago it has almost set me crazy, and there is nothing left but for me to go beyond the veil. "All my interest in the thirty-two acres at Roslyn, the Cornell Farm at Fort Washington, the $500 in the Stockwell Presser Realty Company, and Fred Duell's note for $18,000, with $192 in the Valley Stream estate and a lot on Pranklin street, I want to go to Mr. Lewis.

With the $433.07 he owes me, this will more than pay my share in the deed. And do not let them get any more than covers my end in the deal. As everything else belongs to you, you can do as you choose. But do not give up anything for something somebody else did. would like to tell you all, but 1 can't get my mind together.

If you need any legal advice go to friend, Ed. Downing, and let him settle affairs. "There is nothing else to say, except that I want you to forget me as soon a8 possible. I sincerely hope you will meet and marry some one more worthy of you than I have been. My God! but I would like to live! This trying to write nearly drives me mad.

But I cannot see anything else to do. So with a last goodby, and may God protect you always, I was your loving husband. "FRANK." The family turned the letter over to Baukney's lawyer, Edwin Downing, deciding not to reveal its contents until after the funeral, held yesterday afternoon. In the morning yesterday Rapelyea made a full confession to Treasurer Lewis, implicating Baukney, and telling of thefts from the tax receipts for the last four years. He had warned Baukney on Tuesday that he was going to do so.

Thereupon Baukney himself became desperate and committed suicide. Rapelyea confessed to Mr. Lewis that he and Baukney had been taking cash for more than a year. Their method might never have been discovered without an expert examination of the books for Afty years. There are some 150 record books showing the taxes due on various pieces of property and those paid, and these were used to cover the stealing.

Asked what he did with his share of the money, Rapelyea told the questioner: he used it in living. Rapelyea was locked up in the Mineola jail after his arrest. He was 'a sadly broken man, and would only moan that he did not care to obtain bail, or to have a lawyer represent him. is all true," he repeated again and again. After Rapelyea's arrest, Mr.

Downing came to Treasurer Lewis with the letter, left by Baukney, Rapelyea in the last two years had acquired the reputation of being a wealthy man. He purchased the fine house and grounds where he lived with his wife, and soon afterward bought a. large automo- bile. He moved in the best social set of Mineola. "The thefts would never have become known if Rapelyea had not confessed or my brother had not committed suicide," said George Baukney, brother of the dead man, last night.

"I cannot understand where all the money my brother must rave taken went to. Unlike Rapelyea, 119 was thrifty and unostentatious. am sure that all the money involved in the irregularities of my brother--and I hear the tax receipts amounted to $100 on many days-will be fully covered by the property he left for that purpose. At all events, full restitution will certainly be made." What will be done in the way of restitution in the case of Rapelyea could not be learned. The disclosures have caused intense surprise in Mineola, where both men were regarded as trusty officials of the highest reputation.

UNDERTAKER IS INJURED. Charles Norris, 43 years old, an undertaker at 782 Nostrand avenue, was badly injured last night, when he was thrown from his wagon to the street. He was attended by Dr. Vause of the Swedish Hospital, and then removed to his home. Mr.

Norris was driving a team of horses attached to a wagon, along New York avenue, when at St. Mark's avenue the horses became frightened and ran toward the sidewalk. They crashed against a tree and at the same time Norris was thrown to the street. A passerby assisted him to his feet and summoned the ambulance. RELIGIOUS NOTICES.

Interest Grows Apace as Finish Looms in Sight and Final Spurt Is Made, New speed records are being set up every day in The Eagle's Crand Opera Ticket Contest, and the candidates are for getting campaign cars ready the final lap in the popularity endurance race.

They are all keeping to the course, like the cars in the Vanderbilt Cup Race to There been, however, no fatal accidents, smash- ups bad turns, though occasionally the mechanism gets out of order and the campaign managers have to get out, repair the trouble and then make up for lost time. de Yesterday was a very exciting day in the contest, and quite a number of changes in position which resulted indicated the intention of the contestants to keep up the fight to the finish. Mrs. E. J.

Bunn, the popular. Bay Ridge candidate, who is conducting a splendid, clean campaign, gained a little more on Frank White, who occupies Arst place, and reduced the difference between their total votes. Miss Adele Harrington made a fine show of, speed, while the Caledonian Hospital went ahead of Mrs. George L. Deverall, after being tied for fifth place yesterday.

Less than one hundred votes separates them, and the competition is likely to continue. Mrs. Lester W. Hill, who has a large number of enthusiastic supporters, especially in Royal Arcanum circles, continued her forward march. Among the big advances of the day, Dorothy Neefus gained live places, thus becoming the forty-fifth leader, and E.

Alcalde, Edwin R. Rippier and others surprised their rivals and went ahead. George C. DeBoden repeated a characteristic feat of his and jumped from the third position on the "next twenty-five" to the fiftyseventh. Many contestants are saving their best efforts for the end of the week.

and many changes are due from the big vote received in The Eagle office this morning and to be recorded to-morrow. The Sixty Leaders. 1. White, Frank 303 Schermerhorn st. 26.256 Sunn.
