CAN'T BELIEVE WATSON SAID 1T.
Senator Butler Does Not Think He
Predicted Bryan's Defeat.

Senator Butler, chairman OF the Popu-
list national committee. believes that Can
didate Tom Watson is the victim OF mis-
representation by the press in the report
Of his speech OF yesterday.
Il am not ready to believe said the
Senator this morning, that Mr.. Watson
was correctly quoted and reported IN say
ing that Bryan would be defeated IL Sewall
was not taken down from the ticket Ger
talniy he meant to make no threat, as this
newspaper report would seem to imply.
Mckinley and the gold standard must
be defeated. This, surely, is the earnest de-
sire of every man who is not monopolist
no one could feel more earnestly in this Ill
erection than Watson himself.
Those VITO constitute the Peoples part.;
have made great sacrifices for the reforms
that are at stake in this campaign In TACT,
the Peoples party is responsible for fore
ing these issues to the front. therefore. the
Peoples party can be depended ON to do
everything in its power to win this tight
1T is true the Democratic party has not
done its duty. In the first place. it made
a great mistake in Nominating Sewall for
Vice President. This. 1 think every fair
minded Democrat Will now admit. 1t was
net what the country expected after
the platform had been written, and
am frank to say 1 think the patriotic
thing, in order to remove friction and make
success certain, would be for Mr.. Sewall
to take public position such as would re-
move this friction. But, whether this is
done or not, the Peoples party can be de
pended upon to defeat the monopolists and
goIdbugs in this fight if it is in its power
so to do

Judge Cox today Issued writ to inquire
into the sanity OF John K Ward. This was
done at the instance OF Annie II. Lee, a
half-sis;er OF the defebdant, who in her
petition to the court says Ward OWNS val
liable real estate and other property valued
ib all at about $40 GOO.
He has, IL is stated. been confined for
about five weeks at Providence Hospital
and for the benefi. OF his property and the

John X. Ward has for many years
been engineer for Thomas Z. WaggaInan
& Co. at the Central building, Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, in which is
scheller & Stevens drug store. The prop
erty belongs to the Gunton estate.
Wards attendance. upon his duties had
been entirely satisfactory TO his employ
ers, and nobody at the office observed
anything wrong with him. He was not
very often seen at that office, however.
and as long as his work was properly
done little attention was raid to- his
actions.
But clerks at the drug store, the elevator
Conductors and others began 10 notice sew

A few days before August 20 his rala-
tives notified Mr.. waggaman that he would
be sent to the hospital. and would no longer
be able to attend to his work. On that
day he left the service.
Mr.. ward was unmarried and had lived
long time at the Central Building, his
address being No 3O6 Ninth street. He is
about fifty years old, large, squarely built
and muscular. His weight is about 100
pounds. He has always had good health
And no one suspected any mental derange-
ment, though he has been for years some
thing OF recluse.
Without family and not especially social,
Mr.. Ward had two dogs that had been his
compa Mons Tor nearly twenty-five years.
One OF them died several months agoand he
had the skin stuffed and sent to his sister in
Brooklyn Later the second dog died. and
Mr.. Ward has since been more secluded in
his ha bits than ever. He. said to a friend
that he missed his dogs as IL they were
mem bers OF his family.
John X. Ward is brother of Frank
Ward, the dairyman, who built the house
with a cupola on E street, where the

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. S--Senator Till
man last tight, in discussing the dispatches
from Culumbia, S. G., detailing disclos-
Ures of improper practices on the part OF
Officials connected with the State dis
pensary of liquors. said that he had known
for SOME time that an Investigation OF
such charges has been in progress-in
fact. GOV Evans had consulted him about
them.
My advice TO Aim" continued the Sena-
tor, was to search the scandal to the
bottom, and punish any person found guilty:
il officials, remoye them from office, and
then prosecute them crinnally afterward.
Al that time the evidence did rot seem con-
elusive, bat my advices received since
seem clearer. TIE confession of Mixon's
Son. if authentic, should leave no doubt.
There is no question that great deal has
TO be left to the honesty OF men who handle
public funds. If they are honest, they will
keep their hands clean. II dishonest, they
can get the better of almost any system
for a while. All we can do is TO punish

>, It is probable that last nights tragedy
IN Philips court will result in the loss ot
but one hfe-that of Melton Phillips, whose
bod, lies at tie Sixth precinct morgue.
Dan Gray, who is accused OF inflicting
Philips fatal wound, is lying i'll a ward ut
Emergency Hospital, with lady bruised
head and battered Ecdy. lie VIII recover
Deputy Coroner lGlazebfook performed
an autopsy over the rictim's body at the
niorgue this morning. Death was found
TO have resulted from the loss OF blood,
caused by u severance OF the femoral
artery in one leg. Had the neighbors pos
sessed presence of mind sufficient To
bind the leg above the cut TO stop the flow
of blood, instead of carrying the man TO
= q drug store blocks away, he might have
lived.
The coroner began an inquest at the
sixth precinct station-house at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. A large number Of wit
pesSes have been summoned to appear.
GUARDING THE MURDERER.
A policeman has been placed on guard Mt
Emergency Hospital to watch Gray. Dick
Philips, brother OF the murdered man, suf-
fered only a light stab wound in tiic back
He was able to leave the hospital this
morning, and was removed TO the Third
precinct station house, together with tie
other immediate witnesses to the affair.
The story OF the occurrence WAS told in the
Morning Times. 1t happened at No 24S6
Philips court, the home OF George Phil
.ips. the father OF the wo men named above.
1t is tfisorderly neighborhood, and the
dingy little alley has police record as
one OF the most fertile spots for crime
in the city.
WILL MAKE NO MORE ARRESTS.
The participants Of the fight, except
Gray, have been locked up. In addition
Rosa Williams, Lizzie Phillips ard Lizze
Gaskins are held as witnesses. The police
believe that no more arrests will be made.
In Dan Gray they have Melton Phillips
murderer, they think. In Dick Phillips,
Maggie Lewis and Pat Anderson they feel
coHfident they have Dan Gray's assailants.
Almost all the parties have bad police
records. Dick Phillips is powerful fel-
low, known in certain sporting circles as
fairly good boxer.
Lizzie Gaskins, who was in The house when
The crime was committed, was one OF the
principal witnesses in the trial OF John
Lucas, whowas septencedt to otherenitentiary
for marslauGhter. He killed Oliver Tay-
lor last March with pota,o-masher, and
Lizzie was in the thickcst of the battle.
The victim OF last nights tragedy is said
to have been 4 hard working man, of fair
reputation.
The gates and doors about the Phillips
house today were closed until after the
coroner's search. The house has a small
yard, sided by ahighembaIkment. and there
are signs of a hard battle. Bloody cloth
ing may be seen through the windows while
a trail of blood leads from the doorway to
the drug store to which the victims friends
carried him.
