.RUMORS AFLOAT
OF A BREAK
FROM QUAY.
In the 1ntcrminable Senatorial
Contest Now Going on
In Pennsylvania.
MAGEE REPORTED WEAKENING
But he Refuses to Affirm or Deny.
Senator Quay's Trial
Begun.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10.--Iti Is In
timated here tonight, that there will
be break in the senatorial vote at
Harrisburg tomorrow or next day on
the part Of State Senator Magee. OF
Pittsburgh, and his friends. who have
during the contest steadfastly voted for
the reelection Of Mr.. Quay. Nothing
authentic concerning this rumor could,
however. be Cleaned here tonight.
Senator Magee was In Philadelphia
to-day and left at 1O:3O tonight for
Harrisburg. He stated before leaving
that he had not seen ex-senator Quay,
and the ex-senator also said tonight
that he had not seen Senator Magee.
Both said there had been no appoint
ment for q meeting. Senator Magee
spent some time to-day with State Sem
ator David Martin and P. a. B. Widen
er, but neither Of the three men would
have anything TO say which would shed
any light on the senatorial contest.
Senator Martin left for Harrisburg In
the afternoon. :.
Regarding rumors Of break at Har-
risburg, several OF Magee's friends said
tonight that there is no likelihood of
break by the Magee forces from Quay
while the trial lasted. 1t was stated
that Magee and his friends, having
voted steadily for Quay since the eau
Gus was held, are satisfied TO go along
in the Quay column until the conspir-
acy cases are disposed of. None of the
Quay or anti-Quay Legislators who went
up to Harrisburg to-day believed there
would be any immediate shake-up In
the senatorial deadlock.

Witness Shows Determined Legal

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 1o.-E1-
United States Senator Matthew s.
Quay and his son, Richard R. Quay,
were called to the bar of the court OF
Guarter sessions to-day, and after many
months of vexatious delay, the trial OF
the two defendants was begun.
There was an entire absence Of any
crowd either outside or within the
courr room. ssperss,scnrls of admission
permitting only those, directly interested
in the case, witnesses, Jurors and news.
papermen. had been issued by the dis
trlct attorney and counsel for the de-
fence. Even members OF the bar not in
the case were withheld admission. As
result OF these arrangements the court
room was but little more than half filled
and the greater portion Of those present
were witnesses.
Judge Craig Biddle, one OF the Oldest
and most respected members OF the
bench, was the trial judge. District At
torney Rothermel, after two hours had
been spent In selecting u jury, moved to
try the ex-senator first on that one OF
the five indictments lin which he and
his son are variousy ramed) which
charges Mr.. Quay and the late ex-state
treasurer Benjamin ]. Haywood with
conspiracy In using the state funds for
their personal benefit and profit and In
q manner unauthorized by law. This
action practically leaves the ex-senator
alone on trial. Beyond the selection~of
Jury and the examination of one
witness, Thomas W. Barlow, receiver
OF the Peoples bank. nothing was done
to-day.
The Jury was secured after thirty
five talesmen had been examined, four
teen OF whom were stood aside by the
district attorney. one excused, and one
challenged for cause. The latter was
Talcott Williams, one OF the editors OF
the Press, Of this city. which Is opposed
politically to Mr.. Quay. The defense
then exhausted Its privilege OF four
peremptorv challenges. and the COM
monwealth took advantage of but three
challenges.
The only witnoss examined to-day.
Mr.. Barlow, led to the first clash be-
tween counsel. and apparently Indica-
ted that determined illegal battle, ra-
plete with knotty points OF law, will be
fought In the trial Of the case. The
district attorney called Mr.. Barlow TO
identity books and papers found by him
when he assumed the recelvershlp, Mr..
Shapley, OF counsel for the defense, un-
dertools 10 CROSS examine the witness
with respect TO his knowledge Of wheth-
er certain books. which the defense. It
Is understood, claims arr. missing, are
included in those testified to by the
witness. This was objected TO md
otter repeated consultations :. among.

question in another form, It was aban-
doned and Mr.. Shapley said he would

OF New York Being Investigated by
Legislative Commission Where
Son Frank "Got his Money"
NEW YORK. April 1o.-Onlv two
witnesses of any Importance were put
on the stand before the Mazet legisla-
tive investigating commission to-day.
and though the investigation continued
for number Of hours into the after
noon, no particular convicting evidence
was brought out. The investigating
commission adjourned Its sessions until
next Friday when the chief witness will
be Richard Croker. fg
Frank Croker, son of Richard Croker,
was on the stand all morning. He testi-
fed that he had paid $4,000 20 enter the
Roebling tire-proof company and was
drawing n salary OF $500 from II to
learn the business" Young Croker
first said he had given for his 40 shares
OF stock check for the amount mem
toned, but asked II he would produce
the cancelled check, he gracefully
worked into an admission that. the
stock was paid for In cash furnished by
his father He said he had got the
money in big rolls from his father in the
Democratic club and that he took the
money to his home and kept in his room
all night. He told OF having been pre-
sented with $1,000 worth OF stock in the
United company "because,"% he said.
they knew We had lots OF friends in
railroads. and other places"
Chief OF Police William S. Devery was
again put upon the stand, after Frank
Croker had given his testimony. Much
OF the questioning Of the police captnln
was similar to that OF Saturday when
he was asked to explain for the exist
cnce OF many disorderly resorts In the
city that flourish at oil hours of the
night. Devery said that the police de-
partment had done ull 1t could do with
the evidence that It had before It, to
close such places.
Devery denied that he knew of any
high official OF the city who was inter-
ested in pool rooms. y
During the progress OF the session DR..

.Mr Richard Croker desires me to
say that he will be at the disposal OF
