JUDGE BRADFORD
NOTES EXCEPTION
Never Was Counsel for The
Bay State Gas CON-
pany

In speaking Of the case against the
Bay State Gas Company, which is ex-
pected to be heard in January, the Sun
day Star of yesterday stated that
Judge Dallas is expected to preside at
the trial. as Judges Gray and Bradford
were connected with the Bay State Gas
Company as counsel This statement
so far as Judge Bradford is concern
ed, is absolutely incorrect or grossly
misleading. The only case in which
the Bay State Gas Company was a
party where Judge Bradford was coun-
sci. was the suit of Thomas H. Nc
Donnell OF Massachusetts against that
company, commenced in March, 1895.
In that suit Judge Bradford appeared
as counsel, not for the Bay State Com
paly, but for Mcdonnell; nor has he
at any time or in any court appeared
or acted in any manner as counsel for
the Bay State Gas Company.
Immediately after the appointment
and qualification Of Judge Bradford
he informed Judge Dallas that there
we've three or four cases pending in
the United States Circuit Court against
the Bay State Gas Company, and
Stated that his disapproval CT Mr. Ad-
dicks and his methods had been SO
strongly expressed, both publicly an
privately. that the hearing Of those
cases by him would be indecorous and
naturally subject him TO unjust criti-
cism. Whereupon Judge Dallas, at the
request of Judge Bradford, relieved tbs
latter of the disposition Of any and al
cases in which either the Bay State
Gas Company or Mr.. Addicks were On
might be concerned.

EOVeF Is Filling Rapidly
With Politicians
DEMOCRATS HOLD CONFERENCE
They Meet to Outline Their Course in
the Organization and Sena-
tOriaI Fight

Special Dispatch to Evening Journal
Dover, Dec. 31.-Every train that
rolls into the station here brings its
quota of politicians to add to the
crowd already assembled, and by night
the town will be a mass of struggling
partisans wrangling over the organiza-
tion Of the Legislature.
The Republicans and Union Repub-
licans have their headquarters in the
Hotel Richardson, while the Capitol
Hotel is the Democratic storm-centre.
Already the excited running between
the two places has begun, but it is not
a circumstances to what it will bel
later in the day, when plot and coun-
ter-plot will follow each other in quick
succession, and when states will bel
made and broken without number.
The Addicks leaders want the Regu-
lar Republican leaders to let them or
ganize the Senate. while they, in turn.
permit the Regular Republicans to or
ganize the House, a division of the
minor offices being in contemplation.
If we can get together on the or
ganization, we can get together on Ad-
dicks for one OF the United States
senator's" said a prominent AddiclIs
leader at noon to-day What we want
is the softening influence of compro-
mise on the control of the two houses.
If the lines are drawn tight on the or
ganization we shall have much smaller
chance of landing our man in the Sem
ate"
The Addicks men, and those Republi-
cans who are with Addicks heart-and-
soul, although parading between the
lines as Regular Republicans. are cry
ing compromise.
The Regular Republicans, who con-
troll the situation, are considering the
matter. and the Addicksites and their
friends are awaiting their decision
anxiously. They are absolutely at the
mercy of the Regular Republican men,
bers of the two houses. and they
know it; and the manner in which
they are fawning is a revelation to
those who are acquainted with their
real feelings. It is the time of the Ad-
dicksites to beg for favors, and they
are doing it with the abandonment OF
men who make profession of it.
The situation is such that legislative
states are out Of the question. The
whole thing hinges upon whether the
Republicans will meet and treat witt
the Addicksites for a division Of the
offices, OF whether they prefer to take
them all themselves and shut out the
Addicksites entirely.
1t is not the intention Of the Repub
licans to do anything which in an!
manner will advance the interests o
Addicks in his fight for a senatorshir
That is a matter which will weigl
heavily in determining the Regular Re
publican course.
There is no end to the talk on
hears on the street and in the hote
lobbies. Some of it is rational, bu
most of it is Wild. In fact, everythin
is at sea and will be until after tn
Republican and Union Republican con
ferences tonight There is a plan o
foot by the Addicksites to conveI
those conferences. but whether the
accomplish it will depend upon IN
temper OF the men after all has Dee
said and done in conference.
