been told. for after he had devised this
plan of killing the Black bill, which Car
roll. in the absence of Croker, neatly over
turned, to the grateful delight of the re-
publicans, the ex-senator had the boldness
to publish an attack on the Black law it
self, which the democracy has made the
basis of its campaign against that meas
ure. If Croker or Carroll cannot prevent
that sort of thing the usefulness OF their
broad and attractive policy of anything
to beat Hill may be real, but it is certainly
not apparent. The praise in Tammany it
self. which has broken out in Crokers alb
sence, over Hills arraignment of the Black
law should be suppressed by Carroll with
out delay for its volume is increasing
every hour. A request to the wigwam from
state Supervisor of Elections John McCul-
iagn, who has just taken an office which
he owes to the refusal of Tammany assem-
oiymen to resign. so as to prevent the pas
sage of the Black law, that he suppress
the Iammany tributes to ex-senator Hill
shouid certainly be effective If there is any
gratitude at all left anywhere in the world -
The Democratic State COMMITTEES.
1t is likely that the democratic state com
mittee will meet here next week to set
day and name place for holding the state
convention. At that meeting the election
low will probably be bitterly assailed in
resolutions and in speeches. At the state
committee the question of the attempt to
thoroughly gone over, and it is said n
movement will be initiated to gather the
democratic lawyers all over the greater
city into an organization for the purpose
OF antagonizing the law. Another organ
ization of wealthy democrats probably viii
b. formed to furnish bail on the arrest Of
any citizen. very aggressive policy is
expected from the meeting Of the state
committee until election day.
The various district leaders, both Tam
many and republican, are busy just now
making up their lists of election inspectors.
The list must be submitted to the police
board not later than August /. This year,
however. the boards power to change tie
list has been curbed. At the extra session
OF the legislature an important amendment
was made to the election law, section -
which deprives the police board of the right
to reject the candidates for inspectors Sc
lected by either democrats republicans.
Under the old law the police board. in its
discretion, could. with or without reason,
and substitute democrats or republicans Of
Its own selection. When Theodore Roose-
Welt was president of the police board he
old so. The republican leaders thought
that such discretion was a dangerous wea-
pom in the hand of a Tammanyized police
board, and the law was amended to read
that the police board must select he liz
srectors and poll clerks from the original
O. supplemental lists submitted to it by the
respective county organizations

WAS NOT FRANK FUNK.
Detective Says Wrong Man Was Can
tured at CoIlinsyilIe.

1t is believed by the police that mistake
was made in the arrest of the man Tues
day night at Collinsville, H.. on suspicion
of being Frank William Funk the alleged
murderer Of William H. Brooks and alleged
assailant and robber of Mrs. Brooks This
belief is based on information received
from Detective Weldon by Inspector Mat
tingly this morning.
The inspector received a dispatch from
the detective, in which he said: II believe
the man is not Funk About noon a sec
ond message was received which gave more
definite information In this message De-
tective Weldon was more positive in his
assertion that the right man was not in
custody. and said he would start for home
tonight Mr.. Harvey Given of the district
attorneys Office and Miss Margaret Brooks
daughter of Funk's victims. who left last
night. the former with the requisitien and
the latter for the purpose of Identifying
Funk, will not reach Springfield until to-
night. The prisoner may possibly be re-
leased before they reach the Illinois can't
tai Now that the officers here feel certa IN
that Funk has not been captured the
search for him will have to be renewed
Members OF the grand jury disclaim any
responsibility for the delay in returning an
indictment against the fugitive District
Attorney Davis. speaking to a Star re-
porter today, said the delay was due in
part to the absence from the city of an
official who is habitually used as an exuert
witness In such cases. and In part to a con-
siceration which it would be imprudent to
make known at this time. The grand jury-
he said, had done its full duty in the mat,
ter.
Believing that the man in custody is not
Funk. the officers are already looking for
him In other directions. Several times the
police have heard IL stated that Funk had
gone south, and there are some persons
VINO believe that he has enlisted and per-
hapS gone to Cuba.

A SUPERSTITION SUSTAINED.
People Should Sleep With Heads Ia
the North.

Science sometimes develops facts in
rather unexpected ways and places. The
old idea that people should sleep with
their heads to the North seems to have
a veri6cation. 1t is contended that each
human system is an electric battery, the
head being one electrode, while the feet
are another. The French Academy oil
Science experimental on the body OF a
guillotined man. The instant it fell the
body was placed on pivot, with free ac-
ton in every direction. After slight va
cillation, the head turned to the North
and the body remained stationary. 1t
was turned halfway round and again it
resumed its original position, the head
pointing to the North as truly as the
magnetic needle, and the same results
continued until the final arrest Of all or
ganic movement.
