The delegation was made up of Senators Warren and Pasco, Representa tives Belknap, Long, Fellows, Gillespie and Paynter. and Sergeant at Arms Yoder, Mrs. Kendall and her son, and a house mes senger, also -were of the party. Everything was conducted decently and in order until the party reached Morehead, Kv., where they were to take carriages lor "West Liberty, the former abiding place of the deceased Congressman Tho hearso and sis light spring wagons came from Sterling, 40 miles away, and were somewhat the worse for wear when the Congressmen came to embark in them. A Pen "Tictare of Morehead. Morehead, a straggling town in a moun tain cove, is the seat of the Tolliver-Martin feud, which had its rise in n political dis cussion and which has left its devastating marks in the bullet-filled fronts of stores and saloons, and also in the shortened legs, crooked legs, stifflegs and no legs of the men folks of the town. "When the members of the party climbed into their wagons the. ground was covered with a light snow, and the winds were howling down the black sides of the high hills. The hearse proved too small to hold the cherry box that encased the casket, and another wagon had to be provided by the advice of a native. Each Senator and Representative brought a, pair of high rub ber boots and "comforters," and woolen soi, such as Jerry Simpson would not have disdained. Then they packed their grips in the coffin box and started for their drive of SO miles all but Congressman Fellows and the messenger, who were left behind because there was no room for them. Forced to Tako to the Fields. One of the two drivers had a big bottle of "mountain dew," which he constantly offered the Congressmen, and which Eome of them did not refuse to patronize freely. Scarcely had the line of wagons started through the rivers of mud into which the road was transformed? than It became neces sary to make a breach in the'fence and take to the fields in order to find bottom for the wheels. Two miles out they struck the Triplett river, running bank full at a six-mile gait, and as they took to the water each Con gressman said a little prayer under his breath and put his feet up on the dashboard or on the seat under him. The water was Just high enough to come in the carriage bodies. They followed up this stream a short dis tance, most of the way in water from one to three feet deep. Soon they came to tne foot of the first of five mountains trfcymust cross. These mountains are hogback ridges, and the trail led up a narrow crest that was but a stairway of rocks a few feet wide. Every man had to get out and walk up, be cause the horses could pull only the empty carriages. The rje-irso Ilad to Bo .Anchored. As they ascended, the storm became more furious and the air was dark with flying snow. The cold became intense. Crossing the ridge mud took the place of rocks, and then the rubber boots became invaluable. The red mud was nearly knee deep, and of the most clinging nature. In one place the hearse tipped partly over, but was saved by a large rock at the side of the gorge. After this a rope was fastened to the axle of the hearse and a couple of the Congressmen were detailed to act as anchors or hold backs while going down the mountain sides. Next, one of the colored drivers succumbed to overdoses ot mountain dew and cold, and Senator "Warren took his team to drive. Four hours of driving found the party at the first stopping place, ten miles out. There the chilled ones were thawed out be fore a blazing fire of logs in the great fire place. Coffee was made by the warm hearted wife of the mountaineer, and then it was discovered that the luncheon brought by the party was solidly frozen, the eggs being like small cakes of ice, so they drank the coffee and "pushed on. One Senator Completely Played Out. Senator "Warren, however, was completely used up. He was not well when he left "Washington, and was not properly clothed to withstand the storm. Yet he had worked with all his strength, until he could no longer stand. Much against his will he was left at the house, by Dr. Loder's advice, but without medicine. The owner of" the bouse was about 70 years old, and had lived there all his life, ten miles from a railroad. He had never been on the cars. He had 40 acres of tillable land.

" There were three beds, and the question how and where Senator "Warren slept that night has never been ex 'plained. One of the party said'to the old igcntleman, "Of course, you were a Union man during the war?" Oh, no," he answered, "I was on both ides. Tne war done broke me all up and I ain't got over it yet First the Unions came iere wav and took nine richt smart shoats: khen along came the secesh, and they done look two yearlings and a powerful good mule, and I can t get over it as long as I live.

Forty-Two Fords to One River. t v nen me pariy siartcu. uuu, vnpuu .Belknau mounted the hearse as driver and led the way up the Tokum river, which had to be forded 42 times. The narrow gorge is about four miles long. The walls upon either side rise straight up. It is the only place in the country for a river to run, and also the only place for a road, and since there is not always room for both, there is continual strife lor the right of way. The rushing water dashes and foams from side to side of the chasm. Under the whip the horses leaped into the stream, out upon the farther shore, a few rods farther they were in aeain, and .this was repeated two-score times? By this time tne men looked lite snow kings, ice ornaments hudg from their beards and moustaches Representative Paynter looked like Odin. His tawny moustache was tipped with ice pendants; his high top boots and great coat were red with mud. At the upper end of the valley, half way up the mountain the hearse became stalled in the mud, the hind wheels sank down to the hub, the front wheels were up in the air. In fact, the hearse was standing on end in the road, with a sea of mud on all sides. Then Senator Pasco, of Florida, and the gentlemen of the House took rails from the nearest tence and built corduroy roads, and with other rails lifted the wheels out ot the mire Unanimous consent was asked and given to print their remarks in the next valley. A Colloquy With a Native. "While the party were struggling m the mud a native came along on horseback. "Anvthing wrong here?" he called out. "So," was the sharp and prompt answer from everyone. "Then," said he, "if there is nothing wrong here, have any of you fellera got a bottle?" Yes," said the Sergeant at Arms. "Do you want a drink? "I'm powerful dry," came the reply. Out of Dr. Yoder's grip came a bottle labeled, "Belle of Kelson County." It had been saved tor an emergency, and now was the time to pull the cork. The native put it to his mouth and rolled his eves to the howl ing frosty air above. The Sergeant at Arms looked on in alarm and sorrow until want of air compelled the man to let up. For a moment he rolled the fiery stuff about in his mouth, loth to let go. Then with a sigh he turned to the doctor and exclaimed: "Mister, that must be Republican whisky." "Well," admitted the doctor, "it is four vears old." "Four years old great God, man, how can you wait so long for it?" "When the doctor had regained his nerve he asked: "Do you live about here?" "Yes, I do." "Got a farm?" 'Yes, I have." "What do you raise?" "Oh, some'taters andkawn." Not Able to Kalse Disturbances. 'You raise a disturbance in this country once in awhile, don't you?" "No, there aiu't wimmin enough in this country to raise a disturbance, but the men do raise once, in awhile." "Well, I feel sorry for you to live in such a countrv as this." "Oh, you need not do that, mister. I ain't so poor as you think I am. I don't own but sit acres, and I can get away when I want to." In this respect he bad a decided advantage over the party, for they could not get away half as fast as they wanted to. At daylight they were still four miles from their desti nation. The horses were used up and whips could scarcely move them. But 8 o'clock brought them to "West Liberty. They went to the only hotel in the hamlet, where roar ing fires, hot coffee and corncakes made them happy after the trials of the day. Early, next morning arrangements were made for a short service at the home of the deceased member. "While the service was going on the drivers were trying to fix it for the return trip. The hearse was so badly broken up that they concluded to leave it until spring. The wagon with the casket box came in at 9 o'clock in the morn ing, having been out all night An Inventory of Damages. Five of the six carrragei were orosren poles, whiffletrees and wheels were smashed; springs gone completely. The horses had their shoes torn off in some cases and had to be re-shod. The delegation walked to the home for the service, looking in their mud-covered rubber boots and overcoats like railroad shovelers out of a dirt pit Remaining only for a hymn and prayer, they bade the mourners larewell, and in sympathy and sorrow retired from the sad home. Then the delegation went to the nearest store, bought extra woven shirts to wear for the' day only, helped to knock the frozen mud off the vehicles, and turned their backs on est Liberty for ever. The snow had ceased to fall, but the air was very plenty and bitter cold. The roads were frozen solid in nearly every place. The ice had formed thick on the quiet waters, cutting the horses legs as they broke their wav through it The wagons were badly broken, and one of them soon gave out and had to be left behind. All the delegation walked and rode by turns, as the country would permit. A Driver Completely Frozen TJp. One of the colored drivers froze up com pletely, and Representative Long took the lines. Representative Gillespie discovered that his grip had jumped out of the car riage, so back he went after it, and he tramped about three miles before he found it Senator "Warren was found much im proved, and in due time the party got back vu jiiuicucuu, fjuiauc varB ujiu civilization.

Many .Thousands of the Names Used Over and Over Again. LIKELY TO BE CALLED DOWN BT JUDGES rSPICZLL TELEORJLM TO TOE DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, March 14. The action taken by the Law and Order Society of this city, in opposing all new applicants for re tail liquor licenses, has brought about a state of affairs which the officers of that organization did not contemplate when they put their movement on foot If the society is not publicly rebuked to-morrow by the judges now presiding at the Quarter Ses sions Court, it will be due to the leniency of the bench, and not to any virtue on their part The cause of the threatened rebuke is tne attempt of the Law and Order tieonle to Im- pose on the conrt in a manner more in genuous than it is ingenious, and their im position is the more serious because it came so near to being successful. During the past month Secretary Gibney, of the Law and Order Society, has been in dustriously circulating petitions against every new applicant in each of the 35 wards of the city. He had legal-looking blanks printed, With a uniform protest at the,head of each, and a long blank page beloW it, to contain the signatures of the indignant citi- zens of the Commonwealth who think that Philadelphia a is already supplied with enough drinking places. Remonstrance Tbat Welch Something. To-day the remonstrances were carried up on the fourth floor of the City Hall and tri umphantly deposited with Clerk Peltz, of the Quarter Sessions Court "There are 15.000 protests there," Secretary Gibney said, "and it seems to me they ought to have some weignt" The porter who had carried them up stairs assured the Secretary that he thought so too, and Clerk Peltz filed the documents by wards, where they were open to public exam ination. On their face it seemed that the Law and Order Society had done its work pretty thoroughly, for of ale the new appli cants for retaillicenses not a single one was allowed to go to court, without a pro test On the outside of each petition was neatly recorded the name and address of the applicant protested against, and the reason for such protest The reason was, except in all but half -a dozen cases, the same. The signers said they objected to granting a license "because it was not necessary for the accommodation of the public nor the entertainment of travelers." A Howl "From the Applicants. -,Atr examination -of the -petitions, hoW-J ever, disclosed an astonishing state of affairs and it is literally true to say that a howl went up from the applicants when they .looked over the petitions against them. The protests averaged about a dozen signa tures each and the names were divided with mathematical exactnss s among the 35 wards. Against each application for a license in a ward a dozen or more people protested. signing their names over and over again to every dinerent petition. The discovery was made first in a cursory examination of the Twenty-sixth ward petitions. No less than 110 persons had applied for new licenses 'in this ward, and altogether there were attached to the protests against them 2,520 signatures. These signatures Were signed by less than 100 persons and not half of them were citi zens of Philadelphia. In almost every instance the names attached to the blank sheets were the same, but occasionally there would appear additions of two or three. In other wards there were fewer actual protests than there were petitions, and this was the case in nearly every one of the city wards. Thirteen Hade to look Like 338. In the Third ward there were 2G new ap plications, and 13 persons signed each pro test against them. This added 338 names to the list, although it represented the senti ments of only 13 persons, six of whom were r women. Throughout the 35 bundles of petitions this state of affairs existed, and a careful estimate placed the number of signers to the various protests at less than TOO, instead of the 15,000 announced by the officers of the society. "Where additional reasons were assigned by the petitioners an entry was made below the printed slip. For instance, in the Thirty-fifth ward, where three new applications originated, 12 residents of the ward pro tested against each one because the other two were asking for licenses. This, purport ing to represent 36 persons, stood for onlv one-third that number, and the signers evi dently attached their names in blissinl ig norance of the fact that they were also pro testing against the other two . on precisely the same grounds. Here, too, half the sign ers were women. Remonstrances Signed In Blank. "We have discovered that all these pro tests were signed before the applications for licenses were made out," said an official to day. "It was the habit of the Law and Order Society to take these blanks around to the various wards, obtain a few signatures on each, and then to fill in the names and addresses of the applicants at leisure. This isjl matter serious enough to command the prompt attention of the court, and I think some action will be taken to-morrow." Lewis D. Vail, the counsel for the Law and Order Society, said this evening that he knew very little about the petitions. "They were secured under the direction of Secretary Gebnev." he 'added, "and we all expected that they would be complete and thoroughly representative. They may have been signed in blank, but I don't know it. I have been busy all day in the Quarter Sessions Court, and have not examined the documents. I will try to look them over, however, tomorrow, before I ask for their consideration , by the Court I am confi dent, however, that there was no deliberate intention on the part of Secretary Gebney to deceive the court" ' Secretary'Gebney was not in court to-day. A gentleman who is connected with the society declared that the Secretary had done the best he could under the circumstances, aud thought that he ought not to be blaimed. He did not think that Gebney meant to deceive' the judges when he said he had protests signed by 15,000 persons, but admitted that the matter had a bad look. Women Stay Enter a Scotch College.

" They Now Expect to Show a Better Front Next Week An Experienced Parlia mentarian Leader to Be Selected Fili bustering Flayed Onf. "Washington, March 14. Special. When the silver bill comes up for consider ation in the House next week, the anti silver men will present a better organized opposition than they did a week ago There has been considerable quiet work per formed by the anti-silver men during the past four or five days, and there is a general desire to choose an experienced parliament arian as a tactical leader and renew the fight in earnest If the bill can't be de feated it is proposed to urge the adoption of a substitute in the shape of a proposition for a monetary conference. 4 One of the leading .anti-silver men from New York said to-day that Jie had received no advice from Senator Hill on the subject, but some of the latter's friends in New York City were endeavoring to create the impression that a postponement would be acceptable to Senator Hill and his friends. He was not authorized to say that they had Senator Hill's permission to create such an impression. There seems to be a conflict of evidence as to the methods the anti-silver men will em ploy in fighting the Bland bill. Mr. "Warner and Mr. Andrews, of Massachusetts, say they do not think it is possible to filibuster to any extent, under the present rnles. A man-to-man canvass is being made among the Democrats, and there is a feeling that same of the men who voted for the considcr tion of the resolution last Monday will realize the inadvisability of placing the Democratic party on record as favoring free silver at this time. On the other hand, some of the anti silver men are convinced that a majority ot the Democrats in the House favor free sil ver, and regard it as almost certain that the bill will pass. Under the circumstances they are disposed to favor the passage of the bill with as little friction as possible, and let it go to the Senate with the hope that it mav meet the fate of the force bilk WILL FIGHT TO THE END. The Fennsy Not to Sit Idly by While Deals Are Going On. Teenton, N. J., March 14. Special The"" Pennsylvania Railroad Company is not so completely "turned down" as the Reading, Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central people imagine, now that the bill to legalize the Reading deal has passed the Legislatnre aud is only await ing the Governor's approval to become a law. A conference of the Pennsylvania's officials was held to-day, and it is said that counsel has satisfied them the bill in ques tion is unconstitutional and will not stand the test of the courts. Said one of the Penn sylvania's agents to-day: "The Pennsyl vania may not be as big a corporation now as the Reading, but it is not a bankrupt concern by any means. It has money to fight with in the cour's, and it will fight this matter to the bitter end." According, to the speaker's information the bill is unconstitutional because it violates a provision of article 4, section 7, of the State Constitution, which forbids the enactment of any special bill "unless public notice of the Intention to apply therefor, and of the general object thereof, shall have been pre viously given." No notice of intention to apply for this legislation was given. The introduction of the bill surprised everybody in the Legislature, including Mr. Kalische, the introducer of it -' The supposition is tbat if the courts are appealed to to declare the bill null and void on the grounds of its unconstitutionality the Reading people will contend that the bill is a general law. There is absolutely no question now that the Democratic lead ers took a special interest in the bill at the eleventh hour. HENSEL TO BEGIN ACTION. A Bill in Equity to Be Flld To-Day or To morrow Against the Beading. Haebisburg, March 14. Special At toreey General Hensel will file a bill in equity in the Dauphin county court to-morrow or the next day, asking for an injunc tion upon and dissolution of the Reading "combine." The leases of the New Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and Port Reading to the Philadelphia and Reading Company will be filed to-morrow. A long legal fight is anticipated, which may,not end untilthe Supreme Court of the United States is reached, as the attorneys for the Philadelphia and Reading Company contend that the only lines that parallel are the Port Reading and New Jersey Central and that they are New Jersey corporations, and, therefore, not amenable to the provi sions of the constitution of Pennsylvania.

Eobinson, the Victim, Intercedes in - His Slayer's Behalf. A FULL STORY OP THE TBAGEDY Told on the Stand by Pora, the Murdered Han's Friend, and Others. FEELING AGAINST THE DEAD HAN, Yokohama, March 11 The inquest Into the circumstances attending the death of George Gower Robinson, a prominent broker and society man, shot by Lieutenant J. H. Hetherington, of the United States steamer Marion, February 13, was concluded on the 18th, with a verdict charging Heth erington with willful murder. The latter had , accused Robinson with alienating his wife's affections, and, meet ing Robinson,'who was driving with a friend named Pors on the afternoon of the 13th, Hetherington fired three shots at Robinson, one bullet passing close to Pors. The second, also, flew wide of the mark, but the third, strikiug Robinson in the side, shat tered his hip, the ball traveling forward and upward until it reached the stomach. Robinson was carried into the United Club Building,, where fie lingered until 11 o'clock Sunday night, February 14, when he died. Before death he caused a letter to be written to United States Admiral Bel knap, expressing partftn for Hetherington's act and requesting that the utmost possible leniency might be shown in dealing with the case. Robinson Forgives His Slayer. Many prominent officials and residents of Yokohama were present at the inquest Dr. "Wheeler testified that he found the bullet in Robinson's abdomen and that death was caused by hemorrhage. Dr. Eldridge testi fied that Robinson told him in an indirect way who fired the fatal shot, and added: "Doctor, if I get through this time alive, he'll finish me next time1." The doctor replied, "No; if you recover he'll be out of way of doing you any mis chief." On Robinson asking what the doctor meant, the doctor stated that Hetherington would be arrested. Robinson responded: "Good God, that will never do! It will ruin the poor fellow." After repeating this Robinson asked Dr. Eldridge to write from dictation to Ad miral Belknap. In the letter Robinson used the phrase, as nearly as the witness could remember, to the following effect: If anything from me can make the position ot Lieutenant Hetherington easier or better I shall bery glad. I fully forgive him. inspector Ufcada testified to taking Heth erington into custody. Kendo Makichi, a native employed by Dr. Eldridge, testified that he was in charge of the latter's car riage on the evening of February 13. Lieut. Hetherington's Three Shots. He saw a man in naval uniform walking to and fro on the street The witness. kuew that the naval man was the husband of a lady living in a hotel near by. The man was walking there about ten.minutes, when a dog can containing two foreigners passed. The naval man rushed up and called, "Stop!" and when the cart did not stop he caught hold of. the dashboard and fired a revolver. There were three shots fired, the cart proceeding a short distance. At the time when the third shot was fired both foreigners jumped or felL out of the vehicle. M. Pors said he was a German subject residing in Kabe, being a merchant 'there. Robinsonwas one of his best friends. On Saturday "afternoon he went driving with Robinson, having joined him at the En glish Club after passing Peninsular and Oriental office. The witness' attention was called to a man who stepped up to a side cart witn a revolver in nis nana, aae man, whom he subsequently ascertained was Lieutenant Hetherington, cried out: "Stop, you blackguard." Pors' Struggle With the Assassin. Robinson made no reply, as Hetherington at the same time fired the first shot. Heth erington had his hand on the cart "Whether Robinson intended it or not the cart stopped, though not entirely. It appeared to witness that Hetherington did not -intend to stop the cart before firing. Pors testified a second shot was fired while he was rising from the seat to jump out Rob inson cried out, "Oh, my God," and bent over to the left side. The witness jumped to the ground, saying, "Gower, drive for your life; I'll stop him." "Witness struck the gronnd and received some contusions. "When he arose the cart had proceeded some distance. Pors testi fied that he threw himself upon Hethering ton, and they both fell The latter arose, Pors clinging to him, endeavoring to seize the revolver, and imploring Hetherington to desist This continued for some seconds, Hetherington expressing the intention of continuing firing. Finally he dropped his arm, saying, "I have done it" Pors then ran after Robinson, and two po licemen ran after Hetherington. Robinson had told him tbat afternoon he was in some trouble, but was pledged not to divulge what he had heard. The Jury Announces Its Verdict. Coroner Troup' then reviewed the evi dence. He wished to impress on the jury that in considering a verdict he must dismiss from their minds all reports and rumors which they might have heard. The jury returned the following verdict: Wo find from tho evidence laid before us that George Gower Robinson, a broker of Yokohama, died Fobrnary 11 from a bullet wound inflicted by J. H. Hetherington, Lieutenant of the United States Navy, Feb ruary 13, at a little after 6 p. X. on the Bund, Yokohama, and we And said J. H. Hether ington guilty or willful murder. Robinson's funeral took place February 23 and was attended by a majority of tho leading residents. Lieutenant Reamy, of the Marion, was the fiist of Hetherington's friends at his side, and his wife arrived at the Consulate shortly alter. Owing to the fact that Robinson had been involved in various other scandals, it Is contended tbat the feeling was so strong against him that a number of British war vessels in port refused to receive him on board. Despite the fact that he was a rich and prosperous merehant, surrounded by friends, none of the latter came forward to swear to complaint against his slayer. What Admiral Belknap Says.

" Senator Morrill Believed to Be Dying With Pneumonia Serlons Illness ofthe Father of the Senate Blaine Able to Sit Up Awhile Each Day. WASniNGTOir, March 11 The venerable Senator Morrill of Vermont, Is critically ill of pneumonia, and the greatest fears are entertained. Senator Morrill is 82 years I old, and hag been in the Senate since 18GG, and is recognized as the father of the Senate. The Sepator contracted a cold Jast.Thurs day, which rapidly developed into conges tion of the lungs. This morning it was ap parent in the family that there was scarcely any ground to hope for his recovery. The Senator himself did .not realize, his condi tion, and although the right lung was com pletely congested, he wisned to go to the .Capitol to-day, Jn order to deliver a speech upon the "West Virginia direct tax bilL. It was with difficulty that his wile and son induced him to remain in his bed. These siens of vizor have served to keep alive a faint hope of ultimate recovery of the Senator in the breasts of some intimate friends; but in view of the fact that he is so old there is little tangible ground for recovery.

To make matters worse, in spite of its great wealth, the Universitv has no money which it can put into additions dormitories and no land to put them on. A strone effort is to be made to "remedy the threatened trouble. RIVAL RAILROADS SHUT 0DTV Tho Illinois Central Steals a March, Block ing the Way to the Fair. Chicago, March 14.

The charges were made by John McKirdy, one of the Allegheny audi tors. Detectives Glenn and Donaldson were also charged by Mr. McKirdy with con spiracy to defraud the city. They also en tered bail in the same amount for a hearing on Thursday. The Informations against Chief Murphy created somewhat of a sensation in Alle gheny. Threats of prosecution have been made against him repeatedly since the con viction of Mayor "Wyman, but the delay in their execution led the people to believe tbat the cases had been voluntarily dropped by the reformers, and that the Chief would not be molested. Hmply Notified of the Charges. He was not placed under arrest after the information was made against him. He was simply notified that the charges had been made, and he promptly appeared before the Alderman and filed the necessary bond. The detectives are allowed the same privi lege. The charges against the Allegheny offi cials, it is alleged, are based upon the tes timony given by them in thn trial of ex Mayor Pearson. The alleged incriminating evidence offered by the accused officers is to the effect that they took warrants to the office oL the County Control ler and there signed Mayor Pearson's name and drew the cash from the county treasury. The money went into a poo'l known as the "front office pool," which was divided among the detectives. This sys tem has been in existence for a long time, and the officers claimed they were justified in doing so on account of it being an estab lished custom. Part of the money was used to defray expenses incurred by the detect ives while on duty, and the balance was di vided between them at 'the end of each month. The "Reformers Not Very Harmonious. The delay in making the informations against Chief Murphy, it is stated, wa oc casioned by a disagreement among the leading reformers on the subject Ail united in the opinion that they had evidence sufficient to convict him, but not a few of the more prominent ones were disposed to drop the case, in the belief that Murphy would he more useful to them without his being arrested. "When Chief Murphv appeared at the. Alderman's office at G o'clock last night to enter bail a crowd of 1,000 working men from the railroad shops gathered about him and for fully 10 minutes they cheered vocifer ously. The men crowded about the Chief and extended their sympathy and denounced in emphatic language the Allegheny reformcrr. Murphy was at Bis office at City Hall last nlpht. He was in an utrlv temner abont his arrest and was disposed to hold Senator Rutan responsible for his trouble. He was satisfied, he said, that they could not make out a casp against him, and while he deplored his arrest he said he wonld outlive any disgrace that might attach to it An Expression From Marphr. "I was born and raised in Allegheny," Chief Mtyphy said. "I know every man, woman and child in the city, and every man, woman and child knows me. I never blackmailed a man in my life and I do not propose to be driven from my horde by a squatter like Rutan. That is all I have to say about the matter" the Chief conclnded. "How about the trouble between Mayor Voegtly and your Superintendent of Police Mr. Muth? was asked Chief Murphy. "That's all right," the chief answered, "I am Chief of the Department of Public Safety and I will certainly sustain the notion of Superintendent1 Muth in-his sus pension of Officer Clark." Mayor Voegtly and Superintendent of Police Muth locked horns yesterday over the suspension of Officer Clark, who, the night previous, had arrested Oliver Reed and William Smith, charged with burglar izing westerman s grocery store on Federal street, Allegheny. The boys were arrested about 4 o'clock in the morning, and on the evidence .of Officer Clark the boys were held for court. The Charge Against the Officer. Superintendent Muth at the hearing dis covered that Officer Clark knew of the rob bery and the parties committing it when he reported for duty the night before the ar rest was made and also that the officer bad left his beat to work up the case and make the arrests. The Superintendent t suspended Clark until his case was investigated. Clark at once reported his suspension and ex plained his cuse fully. The Mayor sided with the officer. He became furious with indignation and at once wrote Chief Murphy the following pointed letter: DearSib I desire that Officer Clark have a hearing this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and I desire to be present at that hearing. N. H. Voxgtlt. "The facts of the case are simply these," Superintendent Math said. "The matter was reported to Clark, and It was his busi ness to report it to me. Instead of doing so he left his beat at night and took the responsibility of working up the case on his n ahnnlders. We have detectives who are hired to do that sort of tfilng, and we cannot allow officers to use their own judg ment in such matters." The Hearing Not Forthcoming. Clark was not given a hearing, as de manded by the Mayor. "The hearing will be held at the proper time," Chief Murphy jsaid. "I have investigated the case and I find that Superintendent Muth was right in suspending the officer." 'What will you do with the Mayor! de mand?" was asked. i "I wiU do nothing with it. I am the Chief of the Department of Public Safety." -Mayer Voegtly expected that the hearing would be held as demanded by bim. and he left his office in bad temper because his request was not considered. He said emphatically that he had beja chosen Mayor of the city of Alle ghenyand he was determined now to find out just how far the authority of the Mayor extended. The Mayor's talk indicated that he contemplated a war with the head of the Department of Publio Safety. It was announced by Chief Murphy! fend in Allegheny -last night tfcat'tu il iigS f HKHMAfi
