THE McCARRELL BILL.
Alleged to Be in Quay's Interests. Passed by
Pennsylvania Senate.

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 1.-The McCar-
rell bill to prevent district attorney
from standing aside jurors finally pass
ed the Senate. today. by a vote of %
to II, after vigorous debate which oc-
cupied almost the entire session All
but two Democrats voted in the mega
tive with the ANTICIPATES.
Senator Henry of Philadelphia.
speaking. tonight, for the anti-Quay-
ties, said: THE McCarrell bill is pure
~ in the interest of Senator Quay and
it was to be expected that those who
are voting to return him to the Senate
would favor its passage. Should this
bill become a law it will revolutioniza
the trial of criminal cases in our state.
There is little possibility of its being
enacted into q. law. as il will surely
meet defeat in the House.
THE forcing of this ill considered
and dangerous measure through the
Senate shows to what extreme meas
ures Quay will resort in order to gain
his ends Never in the history of this
state has such desperate attempt
been made to defeat the ends of justice
1t will fail. however, as all such out
RACES on decency deserve to fail.

Two Knickerbocker Athletic Club Men
Are Now Under Suspicion.
Inquest TO Be Held, Friday. on the District
Attorneys Orders.

New York, Feb. 1.-Activity is prom
Used in investigating the poisoning of
Mrs. Adams. for acting on the orders
or District Attorney Gardiner, Coroner
Hart, today, designated Friday as the
day on which he should begin the in
quest. Coroner Hart had previously
fixed Feb. 8 for the inquest, urging
that the coroner's court would be oc-
cupied right up to that date in hearing
other cases, but the district attorney
in sharp letter to the coroner, today.
pointed out that there had been unwar-
rantable delay and that the inquiry
must proceed with all dispatch.
There is now Il rounding up of all
witnesses in the case and by Friday,
all those who have had any connection
whatever with the inveStiga ton as
made during the past four weeks will
be requested to furnish proper guaran-
tee that they will be ready to go on
the witness stand or will be detained
in charge of Il police officer.
Chief of Detective McClusky declar-
ed, this afternoon, that new and i'm
portant cleW had been discovered in
the poison mystery and that before the
week was over disclosures would be
made that would cause a great sur
prise. He refused To make any furth-
cr definite statement in the matter.
Two members Of the Knickerbocker
A. c., not yet mentioned as suspects,
are attracting the attention of the de
tectives. Information tending to con-
meet them with the case has come to
Capt. McClusky's notice. 1t is said that
in the case of each man there exists n
motive that might lead him to attempt
the life of Harry Cornish.
The question of motive in the Barnet
case is receiving especial attention at
present from Capt. McCluskey. In this
he thinks, may be found the key to the
whole mystery.
