STORIES OF DEAL

Republicans Say They Can
Defeat Addicks Without
Help of Democrats

Stories to the effect that the Regular
Republican and Democratic members Of

DR.. l.. H. Ball. Republican, and Will
lard Salisbury. Democrat, to the
United States Senate, are being circu-
lated by Union Republicans to create
sentiment in favor Of the election Of j..
Edward Addicks. These stories are de-
MED by both the Regulars and Demo-
Gratis. The same sort of rumOrs were
in circulation before the election to the
effect that the Regulars and Democrats
had made deal.
They were denied at that time, and
the result showed that they were un-
true.
This morning a prominent Repub-

said: There is nothing in all these

the election, and they do not need it

FOOD FAMINE IN
THE PHILIPPINES
Situation Is Becoming Serious
on Account of the Loss
of Crops

Washington, Nov 7.-On October 29
a cable message was received at the
war department from Governor Taft
saving that the food situation in the
Philippines was serious and would be
for a few months, on account of the
loss of crops, and that relief was ne
cessary. The governor suggested the
possibility of sending a shipload Of
supplies from San Francisco or Port
land, to be purchased by the insular
government. He asked for prices Of
-four, and they were sent him at once.
He has made no further request, and
as the press dispatches announce that
he has made large purchases of rice, it
is assumed at the war department that
he has found 1t advantageous not to
make the purchases in this country.
Philippine Ladrones Making Trouble.
Washington, Nov. MANILA news
papers received at the war department
state that the Ladrones are making
more trouble than ever before in the
Philippines. They occasionally dress
as constabulary officers and prey upon

that all bona fide insurgents have re-
turned to ways of peace and are main
tanning at least a semblance Of a law
abiding career. To remedy the evils
the constabulary is to be increased to

Mr., HASTINGS ANSWERS
THE AOOICKS LETTER
In HIS Vigorous Style He Shows That
the Gasman Did Not Deal with
the Facts

Washington Hastings takes excer.
tions to the statements of j. Edward
Addicks in letter printed by the
Public Ledger yesterday. In his char
acteristic style Mr. Hastings denies
them in a letter written to the editor
.of IN eMorning News. The letter fo,-
lows:
The Philadelphia Ledger of today con
tains q letter signed by J. Edward Adj
dicks which is SO utterly false In 'every
particular, where it. rreaends to deal
with facts, that it SEEMS to call for
denial. Mr.. Addicks-or whoever wrote
the communication to the Ledger
says: For twenty years past, prior to
my entrance into Delaware politics,
practically the sole aim OF the Quon-
dam Republican leaders has been to
control patronage under Republican ma
tional administrations. No attempt
was made TO organize victory in the
State until Charles II. Treat, under the
most adverse circumstances, wrested
victory from the Democrats in the year
1889"
The abOve-who ever may have writ
ten it's not true. / was going to say
IL is a lie, but l won't. In these times,
however, it is well perhaps to call a
spade a spake. Charles H. Treat, In his
circumscribed and limited political
sphere in Georgetown. was valuable to
the Republican organization as purely
a local worker" but he had no more
to do with organizing the Republican
victory of 1SS9-or not much more
than he had with the government of the
Empire of Russia That victory was or
ganized and planned and fought out

and l do not believe Mr.. Treat would
object to having it told. The facts in

Shown She Suffered From Nervous
Prostitution
Prostitution

New York, Nov. THE greatest SEN
sation in the second trial of Roland B.
Molineux, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Adams came late yesterday, when
Mrs. Hannah Stephenson, the wife OF
\ Brooklyn policeman, was called to the
stand by the defense, and testified pos
itively that Molineux was not the man
who mailed the now famous poison
package at the general postofiice on
the evening OF December %, 1898 Then
the witness partially identified Harry
Cornish. who was asked to stand up in
court, as the man whom she saw stand
ing in front Of her in the line at the
postofIice and mailed the package ad-
dressed to 'Mr. Harry Cornish, Kniek-
erbocker." That was all she saw. Her
identification of Cornish was not posi-
tive. She said he looked very much
like the man, but hesitated before re-
plying affirmatively when asked if she
did not think he was the man. The
4 witness account Of her movements
& on the evening of December % and her
reasons for not appearing at the first
4 trial were gwen III uetdll.
The prosecution on cross-examination
brought out the fact that Mrs. Stephen
son had suffered from attacks of ner-
q vous prostration within the last two
years and had carefully read the de-
tails of the former trial. The questions
Of the assistant district attorney tend
ed to show that an effort would be
made to prove insanity or delusion un-
der hysteria 1t is also probable that
an effort will be made to prove an alibi
FOR Cornish.
The witness, under questions by the
prosecution, said there were three
stamps on the package, and wheI
shown the wrapper with five stamps OF
It in two rows. said she might have
overlooked the lower row. Mrs
Stephenson was on the stand wheI
court adjourned yesterday
Other witnesses were handwriting
experts, who all testified that Molineu'
did not write the address on the poi
son package. A clerk in a drug stor'
testified that he had sold bromo seltze
to Cornish, also to Mrs. Rogers. Mis-
Miller, the clerk in the store where tn
bottle holder was purchased, testifieI
that she sold the holder late in tn
evening. Her evidence was corrobo
rated by a man who was in the stor
at the time. The prosecution has he'll
that the holder was purchased early i
the afternoon. Miss Miller positivel
swore that the man who bought th
holder was not Molineux.

CHURCH EDIF|CE
IN MANILA SEIZED
Dissenters Take Possession
of a Roman Catholic
Place Of Worship
OUTBREAK PREVENTED BY POLICE
Governor Taft's Advice to oissenters
to Surrender Church to Proper
Owners Was Accepted, and They
May Appeal to Court

Manila, Nov. THE Panduoan
church has been the scene Of serious
disturbances, approaching riots, and
many arrests have been made. A por-
ton Of the congregation announced its
intention O week ago OF joining the
Philippine Catholic Church, and the
pastor, Father Sorrondo, preached
sermon, rebuklng the dissidants. 1t
was asserted that Father SorrOndo dur
ing his sermon violated confessional Sc
crets, and he was later attacked in the
streets. All those concerned in the
disturbance We're arrested.
The dissenters then took possession
Of the church. but the priest dislodged
them. The dissenters recaptured the
building, and on Thursday Bishop Ag-
lipay. the leader of the dissident move
ment, celebrated mass there before a
large crowd. Later the dissenters drew
up a deed Of gift transferring the prop
erty to the government, and offered the
deed to Governor Taft, with the keys
of the building. The governor replied
that the church belonged to the Roman
Catholics. He advised the dissenters
to surrender it, suggested an appeal to
the courts if they thought they had
rights in the case, and strongly coun'
seled them against disorder. The dis
seenters accepted his advice and sur
rendered possession Of the church.
During the quarrels crowds of natives
surrounded the edifice and a strong de
tachment of police alone prevented
serious outbreak.

ADDICKS' CHARGES ARE
DENIED BY THE DOBSONS
They Say They Never Contributed
Money to Aid or Defeat the
Gasman

]. Edward Addicks. leader of the
Union kepuuncans Of Delaware. in a
letter to the Public Ledger. printed yes
terday morning. charged that John
and James Dobson, carpet manufac-
turers Of Philadelphia, had given finan-
cial assistance to his political Oppo-
nents. To this charge the Messrs. Dob
SON make an absolute denial. When
asked by a reporter for the Public
Ledger for a reply to Mr. Addicks state
ment James Dobson, in the present of
his brother, said:
Il do not understand why Mr..
Addicks picked us out for attack,
unless it was because last Decem-
Der we purchased the Wilmington
Gas Works. which he had been try
ing to get for fifteen years. We
have had NO political interests in
Delaware at any time. Our inter-
ests there are entirely business.
We have never taken any interest in
Addicks or his fight, and have
never contributed one cent toward
his defeat nor have we helped his
opponents. The election Of Mr.. Ad-
dicks to the United States Senate
could in no possible way affect our
business interests in Wilmington.
''The gas company which we
bought out l believe had been an
tagonistic to MIR. Addicks, but we
reorganized the company and pro-
cured a new charter. He may have
supposed that we were antagonistic
to him. His statement is without
any basis Of fact, and can account
for it in no other way.
