Ambitions of Two
Special to the Evening Journal

Special to the Evening Journal
Dover Aug. 14.-There are two am
bilious politicians who, just now, are
figuring more prominently in the pub
lie eye than are any two men in Della
ware with the possible exception OF J..
Edward Addicks and Congressman
Ball.
DF. William f. Hoey, of Frederica,
who has been called to lead the Demo-
Gratis Of Kent county to victory is prob
ably the most conspicuous, because he
was chosen outside the membership of
a strong committee, and takes charge
of the fight where party lines are
drawn too close for comfort. the
Union Republicans having carried the
county by plurality of but forty votes
two years ago. He has at his back one
of the best organizations the Democrats
have ever had, and prominent members
of his party are predicting a clean
sweep for this year, and that the Ad-
dicks men will lose heavily in their
Assembly contests, one of their. men to
go down being State Senator ]. Frank
Alice. d.
State Senator S. John Abbott. is prob
ably conspicuous, as is DR.. Hoey, be-
ldllct Ills tdct AJllto uU UtlOIt llt
people of his (the Fifth senatoriaD
district for settlement on Saturday. at
the primaries Of the Union Republi-
cans He was for four years the first
man to shout out the name of Gas Ad-
dicks. when called upon to vote for his
choice for senator. His district is de-
cidedly Republican.
Senator Abbott's troubles, therefore
lie in getting a denomination. Some
of his constituents are after his scalp
and they have brought out four mer
to oppose him, prominent among
whom are Alvan B. Conner, of FELTON,
George S. Herring, of near FELTON,;
Joseph H. Frazier. of Frederick, ant
some of AbbOtt's enemies are now
claiming that even if he is nominated
they win knife him on election day
The machine, however, is back Of Alb.

Addicks party.

In reply TO question by Mr.. Rich

man. who asked him to look into the
case.

Money wants Another oAice
speoial 10 the Evening journal.

Special to the Evening Journal.
Townsend, Aug. 1A-The announce
ment that former Representative Wal
ter S. Money has re-entered the po-
litical arena. he having decided but a
few days ago to become candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
Office of clerk of the Orphans Court
and register in Chancery Occasioned the
biggest kind of a surprise among
the local politicians. as Mr.,
Money had never before given the
slightest intimation of his desire to
seek this or any other Office this year
and therefore the announcement that
he would again seek political prefer
mCnt has been the chief topic of con-
versation among the local politicians
The announcement of his candidacy be-
sides adding greater interest in the
contest. further assures the possibility
of red-hot, three-cornered fight fol
this county office from now until the
Republican primary election is held.

QUEBEC JUDGE
FREES AMERICANS
Held That They Could Not be
EXtraditOd
new PROCEEDINGS TO START
Crime Of Green and GaynOr CON-
miited Before Treaty Of 1900
Vent Into Effect
new PROCEEDINGS TO START

Quebec, Aug. 14.-Colonel John L.
Gaynor and Captain Benjamin ID.
Green scored a decisive victory yes
terday in their fight against extradi-
tion to the United States, where they
are wanted in connection with al
legged frauds in harbor work for the
federal government involving millions
of dollars. Judge Caron, in the SUI
perior court, discharged the prisoners
from the custody OF Sheriffs Lange-
lier Of Quebec, and Valee. of Mon
treal, in whose official care they have
been since their sensational arrest in
Quebec last May A large number of
the prisoners friends were IN the
court room. and they heartily con-
graduated the two men upon their re-
lease. Colonel Gaynor and Captain
Green left the court room soon after
Judge Caron had concluded and pro
ceeded to the~Chateau Frontenac. Col
onel Gaynor, who is suffering from
rheumatism, retired to his room.
Il is understood that the United
States government will institute new
proceedings for extradition, but as
yet no step has been taken by coun
sci representing the Washington au
thoritios.
Judge Caron, who spoke in French
occupied about two hours in deliver
ing his judgment In reviewing the
legal proceedings since the arrest OF
the two prisoners. he pointed out thai
their counsel had raised an important
question to the effect that the warrants
issued by Magistrate Lafontaine was
illegal, on the ground that it did no
contain the date nor the year ip ghicl
the alleged offense had been ccsnmit
ted. He could not presume when thu
offense was committed, and it ma!
have been previous to the signing o
the treaty between the United State
and Great Britain, and If so the accus
ed could not be held, as the treaties
had no retroactive effect
According to a deposition made il
Montreal by Mr.. Erwin, counsel 70
the United States, in May last, con
tinued Judge Caron, the accused wer
charged with fraud committed on o
about January /, 1897. That Grim
was not included in the treaties, ant
that of receiving money under falls
pretences was only included in tn
treaty of 1900. This was fatal to tn
prosecution, and the warrant issued b.
Judge Lafontaine was defective, as tn
offense included therein did not fal
under the extradition treaty; conse
quently the arrest was illegal and tn
accused must be set at liberty.

MARSHAL MIKES DENIAL
Said Nothing to George N. Russell That
Could Have Led TO Ills Suicide

United States Marshal Short denies
emphatically that any act of mis-
prompted George NJ. Russell, late Of
Sussex county. to end his life. II was
said that the marshal had told Rus
sell that he was wanted for violating
the liquor laws, and that he would
probably be sentenced to several years
in the penitentiary 1t is said that
Russell killed himself rather than suf-
fer arrest.
Marshal Short says there was no
charge of any kind against Russell.
and that he had not talked to Russell
for more than a year.
The marshal has just returned from
the lower part of the State. and while
there was asked if he had told Russell
there was a warrant for him or had
threatened to arrest him. The mar
shal informed them he had not, but in
order to settle the matter for all time
he has made the statement which is
now printed.

NJ. c.

These are the Indians who theat- ened to go on the war path recently when the government issued an edict that their supplies would be cut off. which was afterwards rescinded. The Indians have no food and are living on mesquite beans. which grow in abundance around Mcdowell. They are sullen and refuse to say why they left the reservation. The inhabitants are watching them closely and in the meantime authorities in Washington will be notified.
