PHILADELPHIA, May 21.-Henry Ivory,
| colored laborer. broke down this morn
ing under the severe questioning Of
Superintendent ouirk and confessed that
he was with the murderer of Law In
structor Roy Wilson White at the time Of
the crime. He vigorously denied striking
the fatal blows or assisting in any man
ner. but acknowledges that he stood by In
the dim light on Thirty-second Street and
watched his companion rain blow after
blow upon the head and face of the young
lawyer.
Superintendent Quirk said this morning
that this confession made to him will
help the police materially in their search
for the principal criminal. The details
OF 1vcry's confession Superintendent
Quirk refused to make public until the
other man should be arrested. Capt. Pc
ter Miller. of the detective force. would
say nothing about Ivory's confession, de-
nying that it had been made. The evil
dence which may hang the murderer, If
he is caught with Prof. Whites watch
in his possession. was furnished the Phil

man. this is regarded by the police as the
most important clew.
Ivory was arrested on the Pennsylvania
Railway near Germantown Junction yes

taken to the scene of the murder on
Thirty-second Street. where the detectives

ALL BLEW OUT THE GAS.
Three Farmers In Adjoining ROOmi
HAVE Narrow Escauc

WATERFOWL. n. Y, May 21.-Three
farmers from Copenhagen stayed at the
Hotel Hardman last night. They were
William Kirch. Matthew Haynes, and
Frederick Schramp. and were assigned to
rooms 3s. 80. and 40. This morning as the
porter passed through the halls he smelled
a strong odor of gas. II came from Nos
49, SO. and 40.
Expecting to find three dead farmers,
the porter pounded excitedly on the doors,
trying 10 break in. He was answered by
three hearty protests from the occupants.
They got up and opened their doors. Each
of them had blown out the gas right over
a big placard reading Don't blow out the
gas" which was attached to each Jet.
All three had left the windows wide
Open which saved their lives.

tives, and others working on the Cam

Ger Sutton and Express Agent Grove, oil
Cambridge, to identify Peter Parish. the
suspect arrested here late Saturday night.
The prisoner was brought from his cell
and given a severe examination. When
confronted by the men from Cambridge
Parish hung his head for some time and
became very nervous and uneasy. II was
apparent that he was lying, as he became
confused With the detectives he was in
clined TO be defiant.
Agent Grove is of the opinion the pris-
oner is one of the men with the rig who
brought the body in the box to Cambridge
and the man who did the talking with him
about shipping the box. but was not posi-
tive. II was at midnight when the body
was delivered, and the man with whom
Grove talked wore a brown soft hat and
overcoat the coat collar turned uD and
buttoned about the lower part of his face.
The prisoner when arrested. wore brown
derby hat and no overcoat.
The Conneaut liveryman who fed the
team on the way to Cambridge Springs
will attempt to identify the prisoner as
one of the men with It. The detectives
have received nearly fifty letters and pho
tographs in the last few days describing
missing women. One regarding a Cleve-
land woman the detectives regard as an
important lead. Unless new light is thrown
On the case soon it will be necessary to re-
lease Parish, as he cannot be detained
more than a day or two longer. although

fore them the Legislature approved the
action of the board and declared Goebel
elected Governor. H. II is not pleasant
thing to say but feel constrained from a
sense of duty to say. that the action of
that body was such that it ought not to
be respected in any court as judgment
upon the question Involving important
rights submitted to 1t for decision but as
action taken wholly outside Of all law.
and in contempt of the constitutional
rights of freemen to select their rulers.
The record justifies the belief that that
body was wholly Indifferent as to the ma
ture of the evidence. and that there was
a fixed purpose on, its part to put Goehei
into office and GUST Taylor, regardless O;
the proof in the case. II any regard what
ever had been paid to the evidence no con-
clusion favorable to Goebel could have been
reached on any ground upon which the
board of contest Of the body calling itself
the Legislature had jurisdiction to deter
mine the contest. The constitution of Ken
lucky declared that the person having the
highest number of votes shall be Governor
The statute provides that where another
than the person returned shall be found In
have received the highest number of legal
votes given. such other shall be adjudged
% be the person elected and entitled to the
Office With the constitution and the
statutes of the State before him, when he
prepared his notice to Taylor of contest.
Goebel did claim. in general terms. that
he was legally and rightfully elected Gov
ernor of Kentucky. but he took care not
to say--he purposely avoided saying-that
he had received the highest number OF legal
votes cast for Governor. The evidence
taken in the case makes IL clear that the
declaration that he had received the high
est number of votes was In reckless dis
regard of the proof | observe also that
the notice of contest claimed many grounds
upon which it was not competent for either
the board OF contest or the Legislature TO
rest a judgment. IN my opinion, the judy
merit should be reversed"

NATURALIZED CHINAMAN
FROM VIRGINIA.
(By Telegraph to virsinian-Pilot.)

(By Telegraph to Virgfnian- Pilot.)
Washington. N. c., Aug. ga pecu-
liar question has arisen in the case of
O. Chinaman named Ian b. Dew, q
resident of Staunton, Va. Dew had
been in this country about eighteen
years, had accumulated considerable
property in Virginia towns and was
well regarded by the citizens generally
Some time ago he took out naturaliza-
ton papers and supposed himself a
citizen of the United States. Later he
decided to visit his home in China, and
made application to the State Depart
ment for passport. which was sent
him. the officials not recognizing his
nationality by his name.
With the passport I'm his possession
Dew sailed away. and in course Of
time returned by way of Canada. At
Montreal he was informed by the
United States Chinese Inspectors that
he could not enter the United States.
as he had not complied with the law
by taking with him an official certifi-
cate showing that he was entitled to
return.
Dews wife and children are still at
Staunton. and while his admission into
the United States would be a technical
VOCATION of law. Assistant Secretary
Iaylor has ordered the United States
inspectors in Canada to permit him to
return TO his home. while his case will
pc passed upon by the officials here
The cases of nine other Cinnamon. of
Jacksonville. Fla, have been brought
70 the attention of the Department.
They had been residents of Jackson
vile during the last nine years, and
had accumulated considerable property
In the laundry business. Some days
ago United States Marshal seized
their property and arrested them on
the ground that they were illegally in
this country. The Cinnamon said the
certificates had been lost. and as they
could not produce them they We're
thrown into Jail. Many citizens of
Jacksonville have protested to the De-
partment against the action of the
Marshal. and it is doubtful II their
cases will ever come to trial. The De-
partment has had n number of cases
recently of Chinese being arrested
without sufficient cause. and in some
cases it is thought the arrests were
made to enable the arresting officers to
get free ride to San Francisco and
return. They were ordered deported.
These suspected cases will be very
carefully looked into hereafter by the
Washington authorities.
