TWELVE OF THE NINETEEN AL.
LEGGED ST. LOUIS -BOoDLERS
UNDER ARREST.
NEW INDICTMENTS FOUND
In Addition to Charges OF Bribery and
Perjury in Connection With the
t. t<r
Suburban Street Railway Deal Eigh-
teen Of the~Qefendants Now Rest
Under Bribery Indictments in City
Lighting Scandal Of 1900.

st. Louis, Sept. 10.-When Judge
Douglas adjourned court seven of the
nineteen members of the alleged
Doodle combine of the house of DELE
gates were still at large and the police
and deputy sheriffs are using their
best efforts to find them. Develop
ments in the famous case began early
and throughout the day came with
startling rapidity.
The most important feature of the
days developments was the finding of
new indictments against eighteen
members of the combine. In addition
to the charges of bribery and perjury,
in connection with the Suburban
Street railway deal the members of
the alleged combine now rest under
additional indictments charging brib-
cry. These were found by the grand
jury before which J. K. Murrell testi-
fed during the day as to the city
lighting scandal of 1900, in which each
member of the combine is said to
have received $4,000 in payment for
his services in securing the passage
of the bill.
According to his own confession
Murrell was the go-between of the
boodling members of the house, of
which he had been speaker, and the
representatives of the corporations
seeking franchises. Although Muir
rell has made a full and free confess
sion of his connection with boodling
schemes in the house of delegates
since his connection with it, implicat-
ing many of his colleagues, there are
other deals in which they and he were
concerned in which prosecution is
barred by the statute of limitation.
Murrell's testimony during the day,
therefore, while confined mainly to the
methods by which the city lighting
bill passed the municipal assembly,
also dealt with other measures that
had come before the body during the
existence of the combine AS re-
suit, some sensational indictments are
looked for before the end of the week
against persons other than members
OF the combine. The Legislative
agents. of corporations seeking these
franchises, among whom may be men
toned well known broker and an
equally we'll known politician, whose
names have been mentioned frequent
ly in connection with the proceedings
of previous grand juries, are said to
be implicated in Murrell's confession.

FALL OF Aqua DULCE
BESlEGED COLOMBIAN TOWN
sURRENDERs TO TIE III
SURGENT FORCES.
INVESTED SINCE JULY 28


Herrera After Heroic but Hope.
less Defense -G Great Uneasiness
Felt at Panama.
Panama, Sept. 10.-The surrender
to the Colombian insurgents of the
government general, Morales Berti
and the troops of his command at
Aqua Dulce, which has previously
been reported and which was gener-
ally believed to have taken place, has
Low been confirmed. This news
reached Panama through some former
Conservative prisoners of the insur-
gents who were liberated at San Car
los as result of the landing there of
an expedition from the government
fleet of gunboats.
General Berti, who had been be-
sieged at Aqua Dulce by the insur-
gents since July %, only surrendered
when his cause was hopeless. In the
act of surrender the insurgent general
Benjamin Herrera, declares he recog-
nizes the abnegation of General Berti
and his men, whom he succeeded in
dominating because Of the superior
lty vi his forces and the quantity of
munitions Of war Of all kinds at his
disposal. He promises to hold in
violate the lives and honor Of his
prisoners and he allows General Bert
to retain his sword as mark of honor
in recognition of his heroic defense Of
Aqua Dulce. The surrendered gen.
erals and officers have been paroled
at Penonome and Santiago de Vera
guas. The act of surrender also sets
forth that in consideration of General
Herrera's respect for the bravery OF
the men who wlthstood his siege, they
will not be compelled personally to
surrender their arms. They may be
exchanged for some of the thousands
of Liberal prisoners now in possession
Of the government.
General Morales Berti was one of
the most popular of the government
leaders and he has the sympathy of
everybody in his present reverse i
is recognized by all that he could not
have done otherwise than he did.
There is great uneasiness here now
that the details of the Aqua Dulce
affair have become known. The
strong entertainments which have
been erected in and around Panama
are defended by $500 men and there
are over 1000 government soldiers at
Colon. A dispatch has been received
from the minister of war at Bogota
saying that large number of rein
forcements had left FONDA on the
Magdelena river, for the isthmus, and
5000 more men are expected to come
in this week.
