Feared Severe Punishment
For MiSdeedS.
AFRAID OF WARDEN WALL
Suicide Played an Important Part
in BrOckway Case.
OFTEN HELD FOR DRUNKENNESS

IL has been heard that the reason why
Craven committed suicide at the Wioken-
den street station yesterday morning was
because if he had boen convicted of being
drunk in the police court this morning
he would have been arraigned In the
Sixth District Court as a common drunk
ord, and that would have caused him to
be sent to the state farm, and he dreaded
a trip to that place, as he had an idea
that Warden Wall would get even"
with him Tor the part that he took in the
Brockway case.
Craven had been flied many times for
drunkenness since that memorable COCA
sion but was very careful not TO be fined
more than twice in six months as that is
the limit, and he told number OF his
friends that he would never go out TO the
farm again. Mrs. Craven took charge of
the remains yesterday afternoon and the
funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon from the house 266 South Main
street.

Empty Seats Not ReliShed

MEN TO BE DROPPED.
The Controlling Faction in Search
For Candidate.
ELECTING CAUCUS OFFICERS.

Strange but nevertheless true. All was
harmonious at the meeting OF the Demo-
cratic city committee last evening. that
is the faction Of the committee Of which
John ii. Mcguire is chairman.
Ihe warning factions did not meet and
as a result there was not an angry word
during the meeting. Those of the whole
committee who are won't 10 recognize
Miles A. McNamee as chairman, decided
TO let the meeting go by ungraced by
their presence which, however was not
much sought after by the Mcguire fac
tiop.
1t bad been learned that the McNamee
supporters would De expelled at this
meeting but their opponents were not so
cruel of heart TO thus de-
prive them of the little political
glory that goes with place on
a Dem ocratic city committee and it was
decided that the disposal OF the cases
would he left in the hands Of the ward
committees upon whom is now thrust the
task OF downing the opponents OF the Nc
Guire faction.
The report of the committee on field
day showed balance of 81. 80 on hand.
One of the stranyest things now on
record is the fact that n balance OF 81. 20
was reported to be in the treasury.
Lists Of names of supervisors for the
coming election were filed by several OF
the ward committees.
The matter of calling caucuses and the
city convention were left TO the executive
committee.
The consideration of the Constitution
was then taken up. The dues were re-
duced from az To 81 n year and on motion
OF Timothy Il. Ryan Of the 10th ward,
seconded by Alderman Darcy, IL was
voted that no candidate for city ofiice
could act as warden at the caucuses.
A motion was made TO return to the
old system of caucuses but it was de-
fcated.
Ex-Alderman Darcy then reported the
results Of the hunt by hirlself and Secre-
tary O'Connell for a candidate for mayor
and stated that under no circumstances
would Mayor McGuinness again allow
the use of his name. The committee is
full of hope anu will wait on prominent
citizen today.
The question Of dropping the absentees
was then taken up and IL was pointed
out that according To tho constitution the
members could be dropped.
Unuer this clause il Is said l3 members
can be dropped anu the latter may expect
10 hear of some new mem bers being
