Is revenge in the hearts OF the law

yesterday evening a gang of rowdies
appeared on the streets and declared
their intention of lynching a negress
named Frances Woodsen. Night came
on. however, and they dispersed and
they were seen again for some hours.
About 10 o'clock at night the crowd,
who are said to be composed of six
well-known young men in the COM
munity, went to Woodsen's house, but
Che having heard of their threats
against her life, had left and came over
to New Orleans. where she remained
until this morning. The hoodlums
knocked at the door, but as this was
not opened to them, they broke open

Bradford, the Quay leader in that cOun-
ty and it's district attorney; Senator
Coyle, of Schuylkill, the implacable
opponent of the Quay county; ex-Sen-
ator Smith, of Lancaster, and many To-
cal politicians were also among the sem
ator's visitors.
The feeling beween the Quay people
and the Martin-Magee- Hastings COM
bnation is very bitter and will become
more intense as the campaign wages.
Chairman Gilkeson is negotiating for
the removal of the state headquarters
during the convention from the To-
chiel to the Commonwealth. This Is
because Senator Quay will have his
headquarters at the Lochiel, and Gilke-
son does not want to come in contact
more than he can help with his former
friend and the latter's faithful folloow-
ers. For quarter of a century the Lo-
chiel has been the headquarters of the
state committee. If satisfactory terms
can be made with the Commonwealth
people Chairman Gilheson will close
the contract this week.
Campaigning by Letter.
Senator Quay is making a systematic
campaign against his enemies. On last
Friday evening there was sent out from
the United States hotel, at Washing
ton, to the chairmen of the various
county and city Republican committees
a typewriter letter, over his sigma
ture, stating that there was likely to
be a bitter contest at the next con-
vention and appealing to them to elect
delegates friendly to him. These let
ters have gone all over the state and
nouncing the senator's candidacy for
state chairman. Bank Commissioner
Gikeson has also written to the county
and city chairmen, stating that he is
candidate for reelection and asking
for their assistance.
