TTTF. OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 1. 1903. MANY CANDIDATES IN RACE Judge Coyla of Htmboldt Latest to Get in Judgeship Conteit. COMMITTEE WILL HEFT TUESDAY ! Proymfd to lloU State CoaTen Hons Darin state Fair to Give Delesates Adraatace of (From Btaff Correspondent.) DES MO-INHS. July 31. cSpeclnl Jug Dsnlel F. Coyle of Humboldt Is the tat' at announced esndldate far the republi can nomination for the aapreme court vacancy. Judge Coyle Is a district Judge, of the Fourteenth Judicial dlotxlct ar hla ilstrlct take In, the 'whole north half of the Tenth mnirreeelonal district. Robert Healy of r"ort Dodge, and Judge Z. A. Church of Jefferson are lo from the Tenth congressional district arnT' both are understood to be candidate for the name position. Friends of Senator W. H. Berry of Indla rtola think they see an Increased likelihood of hla chance In the situation. They think that Coyle, Healy Church, Jr.Vana and Hod on will divide the delegates from the northern part of tfie slate, Increasing the chances of a man from the southern part of the state. Furthermore W. 1L Rally of this city hts announced bis candidacy and the candidacy of Judge McHenry and Judge Brennan of the district bench had already been announced and the candidacy of Judge Miller ami Judge Howe Is prophe cled to be announced shortly, making five candidates from I'olk county. Berry's friends think this will throw the support of the Seventh congressional district to a man outside of tes Moines, which would mean himself. Furthermore, unless Judge Towner of Corning" or Judge Roberts of Ottumaa anter the field It seems likely Ferry will be the cnly candidate In all southern Iowa, out side of the bunch of candidates In Des Moines. Call for Committee Meeting. Chairman Franke of the republican state central committee today announced a rail of the committee for next Tuesday for the purpose of settling the date of the state convention. The democratic committee has been called together for next Monday for the same purpose. There Is a renewal today of talk of hav ing the conventions during the state fair week In order to get the benefit of the state fair railroad rate for the delegates. The troublo with the proportion was that there was no hall available for the meeting. Today John Rlmpson of the state fair, said that If t'.io conventions or either of them Is called for August 20 or 21 the stock pa vilion could be used on the state fair (round. The state fair reduced rates tart on Wednesday, August 19. The stock pavilion will be In use for Judging the live tork beginning August 22. the futr this year starting on August 22, or three days earlier than usual. Tho pavilion Is per haps the coolest place In the state In which to meet, since It Is a very large building' with abundance of opportunity for ventilation and stands away from other buildings so as to give a chance for a breese. 'Williams Wants a Pardon. O. A. Williams, the farmer of Union county who shot a deputy she Iff who was serving a writ of attachment on htm, has asked Governor Cummins for a pardon or for the commutation of hla sentence of life Imprisonment to one of a definite term of years. Williams committed a cold- . blooded murder that would have been pre vented had b,e not been too proud to tell the deputy .that the debt had been paid. The deputy was sent to the farm to serve the attachment In satisfaction of a debt. Before the deputy reached the farm Wil liams left and went to town and paid off the debt. When he returned to hla farm the deputy awaited him. The deputy did not know the debt had been paid that day by Williams and Williams knew It, but would not tell him. Ho denied that the deputy had the right to serve the nt- , tachmnnt. but the deputy, believing he was discharging Ms sworn duty, started tn read the attachment, and while he read It was shot by Williams. Williams Is now tX years old and has been at Fort Madison penitentiary since December, 1893, and claims that for 1ft months he haa lived on nothing but bread and milk. He has some land In Arkansas leased and wants to get out so that he can cut the walnut lumber off It. Salllvan tor President. Des Moines Elks today started the can dldacy of Jerry B. Sullivan of this city for president of the state association the annual meeting of which will be held at Waterloo next week. Sullivan was the democratic nominee for governor of Iowa twice and was a candidate for nomination for vice prealdent at Denver. Would Get Daughter Oat. The mother cf Edith Adams called at the offices of the State Board of Control to Cay and demanded that her daughter be released from the Glenwood school for feeble minded. Mr. Cownle of the board refused the request and tried to Inform the woman, that the girl Is bitter off where she is. For a time the loud talking of the mother attracted the attention of the bulk of those In the state house to the board of control office and she threatened ull sorts of suit If the girl Is not released. The family live In Des Moines and the girl was released once before on parole but being a simple minded girl was soon lead est ray and was finally returned to the school again.

Polk Will Not F.ndoroe. folk county will not lake any action looking to the endorsement of any of the candidates from this county for the nomina tion to the supreme court vacancy. There are two candidates from this county now and there may be a number of others. For this reason the bar association of this city will not take a hand. When the county Convention l called it may determine to give the delfgatlon to some one candidate, hut this Is said not to be a certainty. Judge Brennan, one of the Polk county candidates, today suggested a willingness to draw straws for the support of the I'olk county delegates, the candidates losing out agree ing to withdraw from the fight.

The annual Hamilton county soldiers' and sailors' reunion, which was to have been held In this city August 12 and 13, has been postponed until some date about the middle of September.

WASHINGTON, July 31. Inability to ex tradite offenders for so-called political of fenses which In the opinion of the adml i- lslrallon are really crums , aic.i should be extraditable, is proving a source of great irritation in the effort which the United States government Is making to break revolutionary activity along ths Texas- Mexican boundary. This, coupled with the difficulty In de tecting and proving violations in the neu trality laws, renders It difficult to con vince the Mexicans of the sincerity of this government In Its determination to punish the guilty. On his recent trip to Oyster Bay, Am bassador Creel talked over the whole bor der trouble with' President Roosevelt, who Is determined to put an end to the trouble as far as lies lm the government's power. The president, it is understood, favors if necessary the employment of special coun sel who miy apply themselves to the ques tion of neutrality violations and extradition so that the law may be fully enforced. Officials contend there is no reason why persons on this side of the border who foment revolutionary movements and cross Into Mexico to engage in raids and other operations of a criminal character, and then seek safety from arrest In this coun try, should have uny exemption from e -tradition on the alleged ground that their acts were political. On the contrary, the official' view U that they should be ex tradited as felons. Roth the United States and the Mexican governments.

INDIANA GRAFTER CONFESSES Marlon County Clerk Admits Flfty Forgcrles, Destruction of Records and Bribing: Official. INDIANAPOLIS, July 31. Sensational evidence was given today in the case ot the state against John McGregor, county commissioner, who is charged with accept ing a bribe In connection with the instal lation of new boilers in the county's power lutuse. Kmmet S. HuBglns, who declares he was in the deal with McGregor and on whose testimony the latter was Indicted, testified this afternoon in the Marion county criminal court that he had acted as the "go-between" and hud paid McGregor $1,(0 of a sum amounting to I-1.S00 he had received from the Atlas Engine company of Indian apolis, which firm had been awarded a contract for the boilers. Muggins, while on the stand, also con fessed to over fifty forgeries while acting as clerk of the county commissioners' court. He admitted embnszllng $5,0X1 from Marion county by means of false warrants. Ho further testified to having entered the court house at nighttime and stealing various county records to cover up his misdeeds, and to having them burned In order to de stroy any possible evidence against him. Arthur W. Wlllcutts, salesman for the Atlas Engine Works, followed Hugglns on the stand and admitted to the payment of 3,800 to Hugglns to be used by the latter In paying "commissions to the county com-'inlssioners." LIGHT ON BROOKLYN MYSTERY liody of M ordered Wiiniaa Taken to Dump lu Covered Walton !No Clua tu Identity. Hur Saloons Haled Oat. BCRL1NGTON. Is., July 31. -More tisn twenty saloons In Ilurllngton will have to go out of business as a result of the mulct regulation regarding the consent of sd J.ilnlng property owners. Proprietors of resorts all over thti city are actively tn NEW YORK. July SI. That at least two men were concerned In the murder of the unidi-ntlfk d w.nncn whote hnlf charred snd a; Id seated body was found In the Groen Po nt avenue dumping ground In Williams InirkC, Brooklyn, early yesterday morning, was established today by the police. Philip O'lirlen, a laborer of lirer-n Point saw a covered nag n driven to the dump at duvwi yistcrday. Two men got out and lifted from lh wagon what the witness supposed to lie only an old mattress. He ISA- l ho nun pile u heap of brush on the mattress pour oil over It and then set fire to the bun. lie. Htllcving the mattress was being destroyed because It was disease In feittii, tho man avoided the spot. There Is little doubt that the mattress was the on In which the body of the murdered wonuin aa concealed. This led to the discovery that the covered wagon was seen by several other persons and the police now have a minute descrip tion of the two men who were In It. They are foreigners. The wagon was seen going to the Green Point ferry by another wit ness, and a gatekeeper at the ferry re members checking such a wagon with two men In it at the ferryboat. Another feature of the caso was dis close 1 when a physician, Wuest, made a second autopsy on the corpse. His first autopsy revealed a dei p cut across the t man's throat. Ti e s. cond autopsy shows that ti.lt iuI was made by a person who is expert in surgery. The Incision, says the coroner s physician, is such as is made tn disparate cases of diphtheria, where It is neiesary to pierce the windpipe t.) rrevent strangulation. Whether this wound caused death or not. Dr. Wuest Is unprepared to say. Dr. Wurst will make s sreful analysis of the stomach to discover whether drag was administered. Resides the incision In the wonman's throat, her skull was frac tured and the police believe that poison may also have been used to make thrice sure of her death. Failure to establish the Identity of the victim Is the" greatest obstacle the police have to overcome. A general alarm has been sent out for Mrs. Mamto Muskovltch and her husband, Stanley, who have dis appeared.
