MONDAY MORNING THE BOSTON POST NOVEMBER 30, 1003 SWALLOW, ACCEPTING, HITS AT DEMOCRATS me to place myself on record as opposed to the nomination for flee, by any party, of men with criminal This sentence is included in the letter of acceptance issued yesterday by the Hon. George X. Swallow, Republican candidate for Mayor. Politicians see in the words an attack on one of the Democratic nominees, though Mr. Swallow does not name the man or men he refers to.

Mr. letter of acceptance says: "It is a business proposition that confronts the voters of Boston at the present time. It is a proposition which cannot be settled until it is settled right. It cannot be disposed of by mud throwing: it cannot be handled by the use of epithets on either side, or by pointing with pride to the eminence and good intentions of the present chief executive of this city. man in Boston that more business and less politics is required at City Hall.

Every man in Boston knows that hundreds of thousands of dollars are expended annually out of the loans and tax levy for which the city does not receive an adequate or even partial return. "The people of Boston do not, as I understand it, object to liberal expenditures for municipal purposes; but they do and -have a right to object to extravagant expenditures of municipal money for political purposes. pay roils of the city should be reduced; there should be an intelligent and honest supervision, not only of the award of all contracts, but of the filment of all contracts, after they are awarded. In a word, and without going into detail at this time, there should be, if the fair fame of the city is to be maintained, the same intelligent and conscientious management of the business as there would be of a private business of like magnitude. elected I shall not be a candidate for re-election.

"For obvious reasons, a Mayor who is compelled to devote the greater part of one term to maneuvrlng for a second cannot perform the duties laid? upon him by the charter as they should be performed. He is more or less at the mercy of the office seekers, and he cannot easily escape them. allow me to place myself on record as opposed to the nomination for office by any party of with criminal records. he has thus far maintained a dignified silence upon that point, I believe that the views of my distinguished opponent coincide with my own. The subject cannot be Ignored or evaded by those who have at heart not only the representation of the city but the best interests of the great parties in this Now that the letter of acceptance of the Republican candidate is before the public, it is expected Mayor Oolllns will quickly write his.

Plans are under way to arrange some sort of a ratification meeting, or meeting of some kind, through which the acceptance can be emphasized prominently. Fred Gore, who opposed the Mayor in the primaries, will not make a statement until the Mayor has spoken. Dr. Pierce of the Republican committee and Senator W. T.

A. Fitzgerald of the Democratic committee, the two rival pres Idents and campaign managers, have not yet formulated plans tor the campaign The Democrats hope to arouse wide spread enthusiasm during the last week or 10 days. Candidate Swallow will rely mostly on a still hunt effort. UNIONISM FOR CITY EMPLOYEES FIRE BURNING TWO WEEKS CAMBRIDGE FIRE, ENDANGERING MANY LIVES, PROBABLY INCENDIARY HALL MEETING DEFENDS IMMIGRANTS SCENE OF YESTERDAY (Photo by Post Photographer.) FIRE IN EAST CAMBRIDGE, WHERE P-EOFLE WERE THROWN INTO PANIC. IN NEAR-BY TENEMENTS Although the matter has not been investigated, it is thought by many that the Cambridge fire which occurred early yesterday morning, and which threatened to wipe out the homes of over 200 families, was of incendiary origin.

Mr. White, when seen by a reporter, sltated that while he was on his way to the fire he overheard a man telling a group of men that a girl saw a man setting the fire, who then This is the second time within a few months that the building was burned? The fire yesterday started in exactly the same place as the first one. Both fires occurred late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Mr. White stated that he knew of no reason why anyone should start the fire, and that he had no enemy to his knowledge.

That so much property, and perhaps lives, were saved is due to the excellent work of Chief Casey and the Cambridge fire laddies. Patrolmen Coady and Winslow are also to be commended for meritorious work displayed at the fire. They handled a line of hose from the top of one of the buildings near the fire, pouring gallons of water into the blazing to such good effect that the fire was prevented from spreading. Alderman Stephen J. Harrington, whose place of business is in the vicinity, provided shelter for the crowds who would not go back to their homes until assured by the police and firemen that there was no danger.

"Those who are opposed to immigration tell you that the troubles of our country come from the immigrants. Tills is not so; the troubles of our country do not come from the immigrant. from the people who have been brought up and educated here. These are the people that create the mischief, and not the So declared the Rev. Paul Revere Frothingham last evening at the meeting held at Faneuil Hall under the auspices of the Immigrant Aid Society, where 500 Hebrews congregated to give expression to their opinion of the immigration laws.

"I would be glad to welcome more Jews to this he continued, "if we. could get rid of some of the gentiles here, who make all the Mayor Collins's Address Mayor Collins, who was next introduced, spoke in part as follows: "1 am not here tonight as Mayor of Boston, BANDIT CONFESSES TO HELP HIS MOTHER TYPICAL WINTER DAY IN BOSTON "There are four large departments of the city of Boston, employing about 1800 workmen, that should be taken out of politics, and the only way to do it is to have all the workmen in each department affiliated through department unions I with the American Federation of said a prominent union employee of Boston yesterday, when speaking of the effort that is being made to merge the Knights of Labor assemblies in the city departments with the federal unions. floating element that comes into the departments during the political season, being given temporary employment by politicians, who want their votes, would be an unknown quantity, both in the departments and on the books, if each department had its workmen organized in one federal union. favorites would be kept out unless they were employed as good-falth workmen. This would mean permanency of employment for the good workmen.

Today their tenure is insecure and always hangs in the balance. It is the belief of the trade unionists of Boston that Mayor Collins is a believer in the rights of organized labor, and that when our case is put before him, as it will be in the near future, he will recognize the justice of a one-organization plan and will assist in the unification of the trade organization in the departments. "The departments concerned are the sewer, waterworks, paving, sanitary and street cleaning. In each of these departments there is a Knights of Labor Assembly and also a federal union. There are about 1000 organized men in these departments, divided between the federal unions and the Knights of Labor in the ratio of 4 to 1 in favor of the federal unions." if the water in the harbor holds out, the coal that is burning In the shed at the north side of the North ferry on the East Boston side will at some future period be extinguished.

For nearly two weeks the firemen of Engine 9 have on several occasions been called upon to put out the fire, and have, to all appearances, done so, only to be called upon again to a fresh breakout. Yesterday more water was poured on and portions of the shed torn away in the endeavor to reach the seat of the fire. It is believed that much of the coal will have to be removed before the fire can be completely subdued. CHICAGO, Nov. Neldermeyer, one of the members of the quartet of young bandits who for the last six months have terrorized Chicago, in another confession today, added several more crimes to the long list already charged against him and his companions, Van Dine, Marx and Roeskl.

With parental love hia mind, Neidermeyer offered to tell Chief of Police of a score of train holdups, burglaries and other crimes that ho has committed, if the rewards offered will only be given to his mother. A few of the additional crimes he plaims to have participated in are as follows: Robbery of the Illinois Central limited express at Paducah, after which Barns, one of the robbers, cut his throat while surrounded in a swafhp.
