ST, LOUIS SCANDAL
Former Delegate Tamblyn Re-
turns and is Placed
in a Cell.

ST. LOUIS, September 1.-THE principal
items of interest to-day in connection
with the investigation by Circuit Attorney
Folk into the alleged Doodle combines
in both branches of the Municipal Assem-
bly,, were the return of former Delegate
William Tamblyn, from, Cleveland. in the
custody of an officer, and the sessions OF
the grand jury. Before being placed in
a cell, Tarnblyn asked to see MI. zF'olR.
fIis intention was to tell all he knew
about the doings of the combination In
the House Of Delegates, but he finally
decided not to say anything at this time,
for the Circuit Attorney told Tamb!yn
that if he desired to make any statements
about matters that were being lnvestl-
gated, he must do so voluntarily, and
without hope of clemency. MI FOLK sald
he had all the evidence needed to convict
the members of the House combination
In a statement to-day, Circuit Attorney
Folk said that almost every one OF the
indicted members of the House OF Dele
gates combine had offered to turn States
evidence, but he declined to accept more
than two or three, with promise OF
clemency. Before J. K. Murrells return
and confession, the members of the com
bine, Mr.. Folk, said, were so sure OF their
position that offers OF the authorities 10
take care of the informers were spurned.
Now the situation is different.

ROANOKE, VA. September u.-(Spe-
ciaL)-A general fight occurred at a corn
shucking and dance at the home of Jink
Whitico, on Chestnut Knob mountain. in
Franklin county, last night, during which
pistols and knives were freely used, and
with telling effect. Tom Dodson and Ben
Reamy were badly used up by Peter
Penn and Sam Hairston.
Hairston objected to Dodson waltzing
with his sweetheart, and went at him
with an open knife. Dodson drew a re-
volver and fired at his rival, when Penn.
who is a friend of Hairstons, rushed up
with a pistol and shot Dodson several
times. Dodson fell to the floor, where
upon his cousin, Ben Reamy, went to his
assistance. and, grabbing his pistol, fired
on Penn, wounding him in the side.
Hairston then turned upon Reamy with
his knife and inflicted half a dozen deep
gaSheS across his face and chest. Dodson
was cut across the abdomen with knife
in the hands of Hairston and was shot
four times by Penn, twice in the side,
once in the neck, and once in the groin.
He cannot live. Reamy may recover, but
his chances are slim. PENIS wounds are
slight. Hairston was shot in the leg, and
Ed Franch, bystander, was hit In the
cheek by a stray bullet. Hairston and
Penn have been arrested.

Among these is Mrs. c.. l.. Ford, Of

Misses Carrie Waller, Texas: M. Thatch-

was interviewed to-day by an Evening

L. Ford, of Richmond, Va. Mrs. Ford
thinks that everything is about right.
Everything you hear about beautiful
Virginia women is true said Mrs. Ford.
NO more beautiful gowns are to be found
here in New York than we have in Rlch-
mond. There are no more beautiful wo-
men anywhere than in Richmond. Why,
it seems just as though that town was
made for pleasure. Plenty of New York
women. your best dressed actresses. too.
come down to me for their clothes. I
all the best trade, and I only receive in
the front Office. I'm living on Easy street,
as the song goes smiled Mrs. Ford,
comfortably.
. Why down in Richmond there are
plenty of girls who give me an order
every now and then for twelve or fifteeu
gowns; that's the way they do. It's just
pleasure down there
'.Some of the delegates don't believe
in dressmakers furnishing their own
material. Mrs. Ford thinks that is the
only way to do.
There is no money In making up
clothes,' she said. If you don't furnish
your own materials you just cut your
profits in half. The way to do is to buy
your materials of wholesaler, and you
get your retail profit as we'll as your
dressmal1ing profit"
Mrs. Ford says that she knows too
much already to learn very much at as
sociation meetings, but she thinks they
are fine for some of the less informed
modistes, and she hopes Miss White will
come down and visit Richmond some.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September IL
Manila papers received at the War De-

Mindanao regarding the Moro problem.
showing what the various sultans and
dattos are doing. together with CORE
spondence that has passed and conversa-
tons that have occurred between army
officers commanding in that island ana
the different chiefs. 1t appears that the
Moro chiefs were informed by Fi1ipinos
from Luzon that Russia and Spain were
at war with the United States.
One of the Sultans. when as1ed/why he
would not be on friendly terms with the
United States authorities. said that the
Moros were all under the direction of the
Sultan Of Stamboul, and they had been
informed that there was ennity between
the Sultan of Stantoul and the United
States Government. Captain Pershing in
command of the cavalry, told him that
this was entirely a mistake. Another
datto made the claim that the Moros had
always been in undisturbed possession Of
the Lake Panao country, and that even
the Spaniards had never attempted to in.
terfere with them, and they did not want
the Americans to do SO.

Eighth Regiment says the images of
the Black Christ and Of the Virgin
Mary. which were brought from Manila
on the transport Buford. were stolen
from Catholic churches, as has been
charged. He says the images were used
by a religious fakir, Jose Zaide. to de-
ceive the natives and induce them to con-
tribute funds which were turned over to
insurrectionists to prolong rebellion.
i 1t was deemed advisable to take away
the images. This was done without per
mission OF the native congregation, and
certainly without the knowledge of the
fakir. Chaplain Colbert says the details
