" All the party leaders of whatever fac tion deny the existence of any Important differences of opinion within the party, but the resolutions looking to the changes of the party organization affirm it Back of them, although no one in authority will admit it, lies a movement to take from the present leaders of the organiza tion a great part . of the power now vested in them by enlarging certain Im portant committees, creating new ( checks upon existing executive officers and oth erwise restricting the dominant faction In its conduct o'f party affairs.

Evidence ' submitted before County Judge Royce of Middletown, upon whloh a warrant, charging Gibson with mur der in the first degree,- was Issued,, was most sensational. Dr. Schultze, coroner's physician of this city,' swore that Mrs. Szabo was so injured before she fell into the water that she never breathed after she had sunk below the surface. The surgeon said there were tricks of Jul jitsu by which Mrs. Szabo could have suffered a sharp blow in the throat which so affected a nerve as to', close her trachea, thereby making it impos sible to breathe.
