to be IClccted lulled Mate*
Senator to lie proven I
State of Dela
ware.
Dover, Del., Feb. C.—The sudden an
nouncement late Thursday after
noon that J. Edward Addicks had
withdrawn from"the candidacy
for United States senator which he
has urged so persistently since is 1 .).")
created an immense sensation.
The belief is general that the re
fusal of the United States senate t >
confirm United States District Attor
ney William M. Hyrne had the effect
of bringing about Mr. Addicks* with
drawal.
The union republican choice for
senator in place of Addicks will prob
ably be Gov. Hunn or Secretary ol
State Lawton. State Senator Alice,
the Addicks leader, has repeatedly
declared that he would not accept
the United States senatorship.
Mr. Addicks arrived here from Wil
mington about 1 o'clock, going direct
to the eapitol. He was ushered into
the parlor of the state house, where
all of the 21 union republican mem
bers of the legislature were assem
bled to meet him. together with Sec
retary of State Layton and Insurance
Commissioner Marshall. The assem
blymen received Mr. Addicks with
cheers and he appeared deeply moved
by the heartiness of the greeting.
Mr. Addicks made a statement to
those present at the caucus, in which
he formally withdrew from the sen
atorial contest. In his statement Ad
dicks said that his withdrawal is on
condition that the republicans of.the
house and senate meet in joint cau
cus and elect two candidates for
United States senator by majority
rule.
Mr. Addicks favored a caucus of all
the 31 republicans of the legislature
at which two candidates for United
States senators will be nominated
without any use of his name.
The caucus requested by the union
republicans did not take place last
night.
To the democratic caucus which
met at the Capitol hotel to talk over
the situation under the new develop
ments, several propositions were sub
mitted to act quickly and defeat the
Addicks move.
A HOLD-UP GAME.
('apt. llleliniond I*. Ilol>«oii 4 lalm* lie
Im I lie Victim of One.
New York, Feb. 6. —Capt. Richmond
P. Ilobson, of the United States navy,
who was in the city yesterday, said
he had information from a reliable
source that legislation that would
have enabled him togo on the" re
tired list had been held up in the
house naval affairs committee at
Washington by Congressman Hank
head. The congressman represents
the Sixth Alabama district, in which
Capt. Ilobson lives, and the captain
iaid he believed that Mr. Bankhead's
opposition was due to his political in
terests. Capt. ilobson said that con
struction work in the tropics, where
the reflection of the sun's rays on th
water is intense, had impaired his
eyesight, lie had ibeen invalided from
a Manila hospital after l>eing forced
by weak eyes to quit work.
"The construction work required
of me," said Ilobson, "is just the kind
which my impaired eyesight has made
me unable to perform. There was
nothing for me to do but retire or re
sign, for I could not goon attempt
ing work for which I was physically
disqualified. My application for re
tirement was approved by the con
struction bureau and by the president
and all went well until it reached the
house committee on naval affairs, of
which Mr. Bankliead is a member.
The opposition in that committee left
me no other course than to resign."
Washington, Feb. 6. —Representa-
tive Hankhead, of Alabama, last night
denied that he was in any way respon
sible for the action of the naval com
mittee of the house, in refusing to
report a bill retiring 1 C'apt. Hobson,
as charged by that officer.
A 12 PER CENT. ADVANCE.
The Operator* OHVr It to sillier* ol
Soft Coal.
Indianapolis, Feb. 6.—The solf coal
miners of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
western Pennsylvania were yesterday
offered an advance in wages for tha
ensuing year by the operators that
for the most part will be 12 per cent.
As a settlement of the wage scale in
this district is the basis on which
all other districts, make settlement,
the proposition can be said to be to
the soft coal miners of the country.
The offer has not yet been accepted,
as the miners are holding out for a
flat differential between pick and ma
chine mined coal and are demanding
that the price of machine mined coal
be advanced the same number of
cents as the operators offer on pick
milled coal.
E. L. Kobbins, in making his state
ment for the operators, said that the
10-eent increase was 12% per cent,
and the day laborer would get 12%
per cent, and the advance to drivers
figured 22 per cent, or 40 cents a day.
An Accident In H Tiiniiel,
Wenatchee, Wash., Feb. 0. —-A west
bound Great Northern passenger ;
train was stuck in the tunnel yes- '
terday for nearly two hours. The
train was hauled by two engines, and
the engineers and firemen of both
were overcome by gases from the en- i
pine. A passenger named Abbott
made his way to the engine, released
the air brakes and allowed tin- train
to make a gravity run out of the tun
nel. When the train reached Wenat
chee the conductor, brukeman and
two women passengers were still un
conscious.

WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
Strike of Klevator .Tien and Janitor*
: 111 Chicago'* Skyscraper* In a Serl
totift Atl'alr.
Chicago, Feb. 7. —Tenants in many
J large office building's found consider
able inconvenience in getting to and
J from their offices yesterday, owing
to the strike of elevator conductors,
who, with starters, janitors and win
dow washers, are seeking to enforce
recognition of their unions by the
liuilding Managers' association.
At the conference of the Building
Managers' association and represent
atives of the strikers, the former
body offered to arbitrate the difficul
ty if the men would return to work.
This the strikers refused, claiming
that they have been trying to arbi
trate the matter for six months with
out any results and that the difficulty
has now reached a stage where it
could be adjusted only by the build
ing managers acceding to ail the de
mands of the strikers.
The local teamsters have been no
tified by their union to stop the de
livery of coal at the buildings where
the elevator men are out. As several
of these buildings have but one day's
supply of fuel on hand, they will be
without heat and light by to-night,
| unless the strike shall be settled.
THE DIFFERENTIAL.
It In (lie Only Obstacle In the Way or
! an Agreement ou the .Tlliier*' Wugf
Scale.
Indianapolis, Feb. 7. —The miners
and operators' joint scale committee
spent Friday in closed session.
The question of the differential
rate between machine and pick mined
coal is still the obstacle in the way
of an agreement. Illinois is the dis
trict that is now preventing an agree
ment. It has the seven-cent differen
tial and the miners say they never
will relinquish it. The operators are
still standing firmly against the nar
rowing of the differential, and as no
agreement was reached last night, it
Is not expected that one will be
reached this week.
The Indiana operators and miners
have come together on the dispute
over the shot-firing bill, and if the
Illinois delegates from the miners
would agree to a change in differen
tial the scale would soon be signed.
The Indiana miners have agreed to
have the shot-firing bill in the sen
ate amended, so that the operators
will not have to stand the extra cost
of the employment of shot-ifirers. The
shot-firing bill came up Friday in the
legislature and action was postponed
till next week.
Yielded to the Striker*.
Montreal, Que., Feb. 7.—The offi
cials of the street railway company
met a committee representing the
men last night. The men were of
fered a 10 per cent, advance, recogni
tion of the union and reinstatement
of all men discharged for belonging
to the union. A meeting of the men
has been called to accept the terms.

WITHOUT A STRIKE.
Trainmen on Western Itoads Will Get
an Advance In Wage* from
IS to 15 Per Cent.
St. Louis, Feb. 7. —General Manager
Allen, of the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as road, stated Friday afternoon that
the differences between his company
and the trainmen had been settled
and that there will be no strike.
Grand Master Morrissey, of the
trainmen, and Assistant Chief (iarret
son, of the conductors, said:
"Our demands were conceded. The
freight men get an advance of 15 per
cent, and the passenger men of 13
per cent."
There is an understanding between
the other four roads, to which simi
lar demands were made, that what
ever the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
did would be accepted as indicating
the basis for a general settlement
with their employes, thus averting a
strike.
The stupendous interests involved
in the Missouri, Kansas & Texas set
tlement have not been fully realized.
Beside affecting the four other south
western roads, the Missouri Pacific,
Iron Mountain, the 'Frisco and the
Cotton licit, it will be the keynote to
the settlement of wage grievances
on every road west of the Mississippi
river. Committees are now waiting
at the headquarters of the Burling
ton, the Great Northern and all thu
other western and northern roads to
follow the action in St. Louis. The
"Katy's" settlement will be the basis
of settlement on all these roads.

tion.
The Situation In Delaware.
Dover, Del., Feb. 7.—The regular
republicans yesterday asked the Ad
dicks caucus for an extension of time
until next Monday. The latter re
luctantly yielded to the request. In
view of this phase of the situation
there was no election of a senator
Friday. The democrats offered to
support Congressman Heisler Ball
for the long term, allowing the other
senatorsliip to take care of itself,
This offer was rejected, but it may be
considered later.

STOLEN SHROUDS IN COURT.
Evidence Found In (lie ISiiNemenl of

Number ol <»IIOIIIM Tell of Tliclr Op
crutloiiN In Graveyards.
Indianapolis, Feb. 7. —Tn the trial
of Dr. J. C. Alexander in the grave
robbing cases Friday, a parcel in tin
possession of detectives was intro
duced iu evidence. It contained two
shrouds found by detectives in the
basement of the Central college, as a
result of a visit with search warrants.
One of the shrouds was identified as
having been made for .Mrs. Catherine
Doehring, whose body was stolen
from the German-Catholic cemetery.
It was identified by a woman who
did the needlework.
Sa mill el Martin, colored, who was
prominently identified with Cantrell
in the grave robbing business, testi
fied that Dr. Alexander told him he
wanted from 17 to 20 subjects for dis
section and would pay S3O each.
Martin said that Dr. Alexander told
Itufus Cantrell that he would watcli
the death return* at the board of
health office and would notify Can
trell. The first trip, he said, was
made in July, when, with Cantrell
and the others, he went to the An
derson cemetery and secured the body
of (llendore Gates and handed it
over to the Central college. The next
day Dr. Alexander paid him $lO.
His next trip was to the Kbenezer
cemetery, when the body of Wallace
Johnson was secured. Dr. Alexander
told him the subject was not a good
one, because it had been mangled by
the ears and Martin received hut .$5.
At the same graveyard he assisted in
getting the body of Johanna Stiltz,
for which Dr. Alexander paid him SB.
In addition to these bodies Martin
said he got a body at the insane hos
pital cemetery, which Dr. Alexander
said was a good subject, but the wit
ness did not remember how much
money had been paid for it.
The witness gave further particu
lars of securing several other bodies
which he said were delivered at the
college and for which he received pay
from Dr. Alexander.
On cross-examination Martin said,
there was generally liquor in tlife
crowd when they went out to rob
graves; they generally had whisky or
gin. and while they drank it. they did
not get drunk. Liveryman Case said
Dr. Alexander had paid him S4O for
rigs used by Cantrell. Charles Medi
ras, a pawnbroker, said Dr. Alexan
der had twice taken Cantrell's clothes,
out of pawn and had paid him S2O.
Walter Daniels said he first met
Dr. Alexander with Cantrell in July,
lie was introduced as a man who
would stick. Daniels said: "Cantrelt
told him 1 had worked for Thornton
.T. Barnes, demonstrator of anatomy
at the Northwestern college in Chica
go. Dr. Alexander said he was glad
that some one would stick, for the
boys had fallen flown. Cantrell said
bodies were not worth much in Chi
cago and Dr. Alexander said they
were worth but a dollar in New York
City. He said he had nothing on
hand then, but he would watch the
returns and let us know when we
would be needed. The following Sat
urday night we went to Dr. Alexan
der's office and he told us there was a
good colored subject in the Ander
son cemetery, and he 'wanted us boys
togo out and pet it. T asked him
what my share of the job would be
and he said he would give me three
dollars. So we went out to Anderson
yard and got the body of Estella Mid
dleton. Dr. Alexander said that it
was a good subject and paid me the
$3." '
