BELIEVE WILLIAMS DEAD
N ssing Police Court Olflcial's Friends
Think He Is a Suicide.
Investigation of His Accounts as Fine
Collector Has Not Been
Concluded.

The disappearance OF Policeman Dan
Williams is still mystery. No tidinss
OF him have been received by the author-
ties or the theories advanced TO explain
his absence, that OF suicide is the most
popular.
1t has been stated at headquarters that
Williams said a few days ago to one of
the detectives; II am short in my ac-
counts and intend to kill myself"
Though there has, as yet, been no critical
examination Of the absentee's accounts as
the custodian ,of police court fines, there
seeins to be Delier that williams has
embezzled quite a sum.
A man reported to Major Moore that
Williams had been ''piunging" on the
races. This aroused the suspicion OF the
superintendent OF police. An investigation
was about to begin when Williams disap-
peared. 1t is thought that an investiga-
tion will show that the administration OF
the office was not only dishonest, but ex-
tremely lax.
1t has been found that the accounts OF
Williams have not been balanced since
July 3.
Mrs. williams, who is an invalid, has
heard nothing from her husband since yes
terday morning and can give the detectives
no clew on which to work.
The opinion prevails among those who
knew him that it will be only the body
OF Dan Williams which will be recovered.

General j. S. Coxey, of common veal
fame, who was chairman Of the Connittee

and five electors. \ condition of the latter
was that the Democrats be allowed to

sition and urged its acceptance. a uo' ron
TO lay the proposition on the table was
made at once, however, and defeated by
the dangerously close vote OF Go to 30. a
motion to accept the proposition was made,
and upon that question the fight was begun
IN earnest. The opposition was led by
John SeitZ of Tiffinand p. j Fishback and
the proposition was ably defended by Coxey
and Others on the final vote the propo:-

the latter Of having teen Influenced on
a certain political matter by corrupt
consderati ons, was an injustice to the
p Philadelphia leader. From what Mr.
Quay further said it would seem that
the warning Republican factions in
Pennsylvania have come to complete
understanding. Allied with Mr. Martin
was Chris Magee, the Republican leader
N Pittsburg. After his statement liz re-
gard to Mr.. Martin Senator Quay said:
II have no doubt that the Martin and
Magee people will contribute valuably to
the success of the Republican ticket in
Pennsylvania"
Inregard to the recentreports that Senator
Cameron was seeking renomina tion after
having announced that he was not>a candi-
date for the Senate, Mr.. Quay said:
''Mr Cameron has formally announcedtlat
