COLE A SUSPECT.
lie May Yet Be Connected with Mary
SnIIivan's Murdcr-Ncxt Month iie Will
BE Obliged to Go Before the Grand Jury.

Paterson, March 1.-THE Paterson
police have not any clew to the murder
or Of Miss Mary Sullivan, the music
teacher of this city. Captain Bilson
today said that the clew which the
police followed up last evening in con-
nection with the murder, was berren
of results. and that the police are as
far away from the murder at present
as they were the day after the crime
was committed.
Nicholas Cole. the silk manufacturer.
who was arrested on Sunday evening
for assaulting Miss Lucy Van Ripper on
the streets. within three blocks Of the
scene of the Sullivan murder. is serv-
ing out his sentence of thirty days in
the county Jail. This prevents his re-
lease on ball.
The police stated today that the OBJ
ject of committing Cole to Jail for thirty
days was so that they could place their
hands on him without any trouble In
case he was needed. 1t is said that he
will have to go before the coroner's
inquest in the Sullivan case. This
makes Cole practically a suspect of the
murder of Miss Sullivan.
The grand jury meets in Paterson In
April. and Coles term will not expire
until then.

TENAS VOLUNTEER GUARD

Corsicana. Tex. June 27.-(Special)--
G. w. Hardy. president of the Texas Vol
unteer Guard association. has called a
convention to be held at Tyler, July 10,
with a view to securing an appropriation
from the next legislature. and other meas
ures for the bettcrment of the guard.
The representation is to be as follows:
Each commissioned officer to he entitled
to one vote. and each organization two
representatives, in addition TO its COM
missioned officers. who shall be elected
by said organization.
In his call President Hardy asserts that
Texas has done absolutely nothing for
her citizen solliery. The equipment
comes from the United States govern
ment. and even the annual camp of in
struction. which is compulsory, has been
taken away by the last legislature. I'm
less the state provides facilities for prac-
teal instruction the guard will become
impaired to the extent of being worth
less. 1t is suggested that each member
of the guard take personal interest in
the matter, and approach the members of
the legislature with such evidence as will
convince them of the necessity for sup
porting the state militia.
President Hardy concluded with an
earnest appeal to each officer and mem
Der of the guard to be present at the con-
ventiOn.
