PROMOTION FOR EVANS.
President Will Not Disturb Ex-
cept Give a Better Place.

Washington, March 1s.-There is no
longer any doubt that Pension Comnis
sioner Evans will. within the next few
months at the latest, sever his connection
with the pension bureau, to accept from
the president a proposition which will be
a substa ntial promotion but which has not
yet been definitely selected. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Evans has the entire con-
fidence of the president and the latter will
not consider the question of his retirement
until a position entirely satisfactory to the
commissioner has been provided No de-
cision has been reached concerning a sue
cessor to Mr.. Evans, nor will any action
be taken until the president is thoroughly
convinced that he has found a man of the
same high character and sterling worth
possessed by the present commissioner in
so high degree.

ELMER COLLINS HELD FOR
THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE
FAMOUS SUSSEX COUNTY MURDER CASE TO
BE TRIED JANUARY THE 18th NEXT.
Dramatic Scene in the Court Room at George
town When the Indictment Was Read
Collins Nerve Deserted Him.

Elmer Collins, late of Little Greek,
Sussex county, was indicted for muir
der of the first degree, few minutes
before o'clock Thursday light.
The grand jury, which had worked
long and exhaustively with the States
long list of witnesses, handed over
true bill to Clerk of the Peace James
H. Wright, at 5.35, in the presence of
an overcrowded court room. The grand
jury submitted a report which con-
tanned this pertinent utterance, ''in all
our deliberations we have acted in con-
formity with our oaths and with true
regard for the law, peace and dignity
of our State"
The indictment charges that "Elmer
Collins did felonously kill and murder
his wife, Ilda D. Collins, on the
twelfth day of April, 1902. After a
few moments of painful silence the
door opened and in walked former
Attorney General White, principal
counsel for Collins, with the defendant.
Collins was, as before, we'll dressed
and stepped quickly and resolutely.
There was a death-llke silence as
Attorney General Ward arose and said
ga true bill having been found
against Elmer Collins move that he
be placed in the custody fthe sheriff. -
''Have Mr.. Collins called" said the
Chief Justice. els the surety here to
surrender him"
''I appear for the surety, your hon
or, and do now surrender him." said
Mr.. White. Sheriff Hart took Collins
into his custody and placed him in the
cell at the county prison.
The court room was so crowded
when this took place that the Court
could not proceed until the bailiffs
succeeded in clearing the room some
what. At conference between the
attorney general and his deputy, and
the counsel for Collins and the court,
it was finally agreed upon continu-
ance until Monday, January IL, 1908.
There was a dramatic scene when
former Attorney General White, prin-
cipal counsel for Collins, opened 6
rear door and Collins appeared and
surrendered. He refused to eat any
supper at the jail and asked to be left
alone. For the first time since the
crime was committed he appeared tC
fully realize his position and his nerve
seemed to desert him.

DEMOCRATS AGAINST VOTERS ASSISTANT
Are Preparing to Make an Attack by Having
Chancellor Issue Restraining Order.

Are Preparing to Make an Attack by Having
Chancellor Issue Restraining Order.
The Democrats are preparing to at
tack the Union Republican voters
assistant law upon which the governor
appointed a Republican and Demo
cratic voters assistant to act in each
election booth for the purpose of in
structing voters in marking their
ballots. The Democrats claim that
this is an Addicks Republican scheme
to foster the purchase and sale of votes
and will attack it on the ground that
it interferes with the secrecy of the
ballot and is in direct violation of the
constitution. The Union Republicans
contend that the law is valid, that
after ten years of experience under
the Australian ballot system, 1,4OO
voters of Delaware were disqualified
because of improperly marked ballots,
and as the system has been changed
for this year, the matter of voting is
further complicated to the unlettered
and unlearned.
The situation would not be serious,
however, but it is generally rumored
that the Democrats will apply through
the Court of Chancery for restraining
orders, enjoining the voters assis-
tants from entering the booth with
the elector, or coming within thirty
feet of the election building, except to
exercise their individual right of
franchise.
The Republicans propose to meet
this in a novel manner. Should the
Democrats secure and serve restrain
ing orders as alleged, each voters
assistant on the Republican side, thus
restrained, will resign and another
Republican will be appointed in his
place. By means of commissions
made out in advance, it is SAID, the
Republicans will keep this up as fast
as the Democrats can get chancery
proceedings directed against them.

An ex-postmaster was one Of a
group in a city hall corridor recently
engaged in discussing queer manifes-
tations of jealousy on the part of
young men in love, a dispatch in the
morning papers having given rise TO
the conversation. He said that the
most jealous man he ever had knowl-
edge of applied for a position in the
postoffice He brought such excellent
recommendations that the postmaster
was moved to wonder that the young
fellow did not go into mercantile life.
Pressed for a reason, he finally con-
fessed that he was giving up better
position in order that as an employee
of the postoffice he might not only get
his fiancee's letters the sooner, but also
might learn whether OF not she re-

PRESIDENT SUCCEEDS IN
ENDING THE COAL STRIKE
APPOINTS BOARD OF ARBITRATION TO SET

Strike Had Lasted Six Months and Pending
Coal Famine Had Alarmed the Country to
Great Degree, Arbitration Committees.

The great strike in the anthracite
coal regions, which has lasted six
months and produced coal famine
throughout the country, is at an end.
An arbitration commission named by
President Roosevelt will adjust the
differences between the operators and
mine workers. An immediate resump-
tion of work is promised, and every ef-
fort will be made to prevent suffering
at the opening of winter through short
age of coal.
The settlement followed a midnight
conference at the-White House, when
President Roosevelt resumed consid-
Grafton of the coal strike situation,
taking it up in the light developed
the result of his two conferences dur
ing the day with Mr.. Mitchell, Presi-
dent of the Mine Workers Union. He
went out for a long drive after those
conferences, and on returning met Mr..
Carroll d. Wright, Commissioner of
Labor, MIR. Sargent, Commissioner of
Immigration. The latter is personal
friend of Mr.. Mitchell and as a former
labor leader himself, had talked freely
with the head of the miners union.
He gave the President the benefit of
his views, and Commissioner Wright
was able to communicate some infor-

sentiment in the mining regions. Mr..

ditions in the anthracite fields and

squirrel fur and entire hats are seen
