SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.
Favorable Reports on All Naval NOm-
nations Except Theirs.

The Senate committee on naval affairs to-
day agreed to report favorably upon all the
nominations Of naval officers for advance

Schley. 1t also decided to recommend
the revival of the grade of vice admiral and
the appointment of two rear admirals to
this office, the intention being that the Pres
ident shall name Messrs. Sampson and
Schley. This course was taken by the COM
mittee in order to avoid the renewal of the
Sampson Schley controversy in connection

indication in the committee meeting that
this controversy might be raised over the
question of precedence in naming the two
vice admirals proposed, some senators desir-
ing to specify that admiral Schley should
be first named. The same contention arose
over the resolution of thanks suggested by
the President, and that measure was not
acted upon.

FliSS Halle HickerSOn saws
She Came Home to
Die, and John Wack,
Who EIoped with

Serious Crime.
WACK TOBE TRIED NEXT MAY,

John w. Wack, the married
man of near Salisbury, who elop-
ped with Miss Halle Hickerson,
the 17-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. I. M. Hickerson of Sal
isbury three weeks ago, has re-
turned, as has also the young
man.
Miss Hickerson arrived Satur-
day night from Ell Paso, Tex, on
ticket that was wired her by
father, and was met at the depot
in Salisbury by her sorrowful
sire amid about 200 curious spec
tators, who were anxious to see
the meeting between Mr.. Hick-
erson and his wayward daugh-
ter.
AS soon as she alighted from
the train she rushed frantically
to her paternal ancestor, threw
her arms around his neck and
exclaimed: ''Oh, father, forgive
me; I have come home to die -
Wack, the man who so cruelty
wronged Miss Hickerson, got in
Monday night in charge of Sher-
if F. M. Veatch, who had gone
to Ell Paso for him, he having
surrendered to the Ell Paso au-
thorities.
Wack claims to have been
buncoed out of 500 by an Ell
Paso policeman, who had told
him that he (Wack) would be
arrested the next morning, and
worked him for S1OO in cold cash
to pilot him over into Old Mexico
after night. But, fearing that he
would be extradited, Wack re-
turned to Ell Paso and gave him.
self up.
He seems to think that he has
committed no serious crime, and
that he will be acquitted when his
case is tried, and that the trial
will last only short time. He
says he yet intends to have the
girl with whom he eloped.
He has employed G.. G. Ham
mond of Salisbury and l. H. Kin
ley of Kansas City to defend him,
and his case has been continued
until the next May term of cir
cult court.
Bond was fixed by Judge But
Ter at 5000, and c.. G.. Hammond,
one of Wack's attorneys, says
that his client will be able to give
the required bail, but will not be

The plaintiff and the defend
ant have been married 26 years,

would not be permitted to return
home.

his word good, and he ordered
his wife to leave when she
again returned to his bed and
board.
Mrs. Finnell is now living with
a daughter.
She says her principal object
in suing her spouse for divorce is
to regain some property belong
ing to her that he has in his pos

her.
