WILCOX NOT in DANGER
TALK OF LYNCHING NO LONGER
HEARD AT ELIZABETH CITY.
whisky Bottle That May BE Used as
Evidence Against Him-NeH Crop
sey's Body Taken to New York.

ELIZABETH CITY, n. c., Dec. 30.-Ex-
element over the CrOpsey case is dying out
and business is being resumed. The talk
of lynching James Wilcox is heard no
longer, the people having decided TO per-
nit the law to take its course. The citi-
zens committee and Solicitor Ward are
collecting evidence against Wilcox 10 pre-
sent to the grand jury when it meets in
March next. There has been report for
the past twenty-four hours that Wilcox
had been removed TO Norfolk, Va, for
safekeeping, the authorities fearing that
the people would attack the Jail. Tonight
Sheriff Grandy denied this. Wilcox is still
in Jail here and the town authorities ex-
pect no further trouble. Any attempt to
get Wilcox out on bail will be resisted by
Solicitor Ward. Chairman Greenleaf and
other members of the citizens commit
tee assert they have much additional evil
dence of which the public is in ignorance.
One important piece of evidence which the
committee has is empty whisky bottle
found on the river bank in front of the
Cropsey home. A local saloon keeper has
stated that he sold one like it to Wilcox.

Senator Lodge Is Now Said to Favor
the Panama Route for the Pro-
posed Isthmian Waterway.
MAY OFFER NEW PROPOSITION
HE PREFERS PERMITTING THE
PRESIDENT SELECT THE ROUTE.
Lively Times Probable in Both
Houses-Friends of the Nicaragua
Bill VIII Make N Fight.
,.cial 70 the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts,, who is supposed TO be
the personal representative of President
Roosevelt in the Senate, is understood to
have reached the conclusion that the proper
route for an isthmian canal is the Panama
route The bare announcement of this fact
has caused CONSERVATION among the advo-
Gates of the Nicaragua canal, who had eX-
pected that the Hepburn canal BILL which
is to be taken up for consideration by the
House on Jan. z, would be passed through
both houses of Congress before the end of
this session of Congress. 1t is also under
stood that Senator Lodge is in favor of
leaving the selection of routes to the Presi-
dent in case he cannot convince Congress
that the Panama route should be chosen.
The effect of all this will be to tie up
canal legislation for this session of Con-
gress. The Nicaragua advocates will never
consent to the passage of a Panama canal
bill. They base their opposition to that
route on the declaration that the Panama
canal cannot be owned absolutely by the
United States government. The Panama
Canal Company the Panama Railway Com
pany and the French government are in
practical partnership in the Panama canal,
and if the United States enters that deal at
all, according TO the opinion of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, it must enter 1T as a
majority stockholder merely and not as the
complete owner of the enterprise. For
years the contention of Congress has been
for a canal of which the United States will
have absolute and final control, and to that
end the Senate last year amended the Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty, and this year rati-
fed a different treaty,
1t is also reported tonight that when the
Hepburn bill comes up in the House JAN
some strong man will be selected to offer
an amendment practically killing that bill
and substituting therefor one that will
authorize the President to select route for
a canal. If such an amendment is offered
by a with any power in the House. it
will, in all probability, result in a squabhle
and i'm the defeat of the Hepburn bill.

sleeper. Walking up the aisle Phipps was
in advance of the party. when he came in
contact with Rhea's legs, which were ex-
tended out into the aisle Rhea was awak-
ened and inquired what was the matter

situation angrily for a while and then the
quartet went out on the car platform.
Very soon they returned and told Rhea
that they could not all stay in the same
car, that he would have to get out. Rhea
remarked that in order to prevent trou-
BILE he would have TO do they told him.

run to Shelby. Phipps became separated
from his companions and was arrested at
Leland. At Shelby the others waited for
the next train. on which they travelled to
Cleveland, where they were arrested with
out trouble. They were placed in Jail
at Shelby. There is much excitement and
indignation among the people of the Le-
land and Shelby neighborhoods over to-
days tragedy. but no violence is antici-
pated.
Late this afternoon the men were taken
to Greenvile and lodged in Jail the Ili-
nois Central Railroad officials furnishing
a special engine and car for that purpose.

London Timess statement from Washing
