CENTRAL BODY OPPOSES.
ENDORSED THE ACTION OF THE
COUNCIL TAKEN RE-
GENTLY.

Central Labor Union met last night
ana Endorsed the action taken by the
council several days ago refusing to
grant a right of way over Meyers street
for a spur railroad track.
President W. J. White of the CEN
trail body, stated to a reporter that the
resolution passed would be presented
to the council at its meeting Monday
night. That there were several reas-
ons for the body's Endorsement of the
councils action, the principal one be-
ing that Central Labor Union is op-
posed to the basket factory's locating
here because it is alleged it will en-
ploy a cheap class of undesirable Ia
Dor. The superstition is that the bss'
ket factory will not locate here unless
the spur track is built.

BEoKHAM PLAYS AT POLITICS

Governor Beckham has declined to
meet either of his opponents for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
on the raging stump. His friends
claim that he does not feel any neces-
sity for it, while his opponents ssser
that he Ia afraid. Whichever his reas-
on, he seems to feel security that
the otner fellows evidently long for
but cannot reach. He is conceded by
all Democrats TO be backed by the
"machine, and if this is true the op-
position to the machine is necessarily
divided between the other two candi.
dates, which is obviously in favor of
Beckham, the machine candidate. II
seems that the real reason Beckham
declined is that he feels so confident
of winning that he regards joint de-
bates as entirely superfiuous. II he

Beckhsm, however, has shown him
self to be shrewder than any of his

the victory depends on orstory, logic

Dyersburg, Tenn, has Just won an
interesting suit, and the result is of
importance to every city. In case
where q young man sued for heavy
damages for false imprisonment the
city won In a walk. II seems that he
was charged with taking orders for
suits Of clothing, ana was arrested at
the instance Of some Of the tailors.
The mayor fiued him 500 and being
unable to pay, he was kept in the
lookup for ninety days. He sued for
damages when he got out, on the
ground that the ordinance nnder
which be was fined was unoonstitu.
tional and violation Of the inter.
state commerce law. The court held
that the mayor did his duty in impos-
ing the fine, and If the law was uncon-
stiiutional the defendant bad an OPP
portunity to have it so declared by the
courts without waiting until it had
been enforced against him and then
suing for damages. II the law was
unconstitutional there were numerous
ways to prevent its being enforced
against him, but he did not avail him
self of any of them. The Tennessee
papers seem to regard the case as quite
precedent. as it will keep certain
classes of sharks from having them
selves fined under questionable laws,
serve their fines and then sue the city
tor damages.

TOOK POISON

And James McRae Did Not Shuttle
OF This Morning.

James McRae, sbout 90 years old
attempted suicide this morning shortly
before noon at the Red Fox aloon,
but was pulled through by the efforts
Of Drs. J. E. Coyle and Jeff ID. Rob
ertson.
McRae had been drinking whiskey
and using cocaine, it is said, and
walked into the saloon and asked Bar
tender r. 4. DeBoe for drink OF
water, which was given him. He
moved TO the side OF the room ana
taking a white powder out of mis- pock
ct, swallowed It. He returned the
empty glass and told the bartender
goodbye, saying that he was gone, and
staggered for the door, but fell before
1t was reached. DeBoe mad the young

making a bluff this time, as he did
not take enough 10 kill him.

After admitting that all their clews
In the Burdick murder mystery had
failed, the Buffalo police now say they
have discovered trail which they
hope will lead them to a solution of
the problem. They have discovered
a cabman who claims to have driven
young woman to the corner Of Ashland
avenue and Sumner street short
time prior to the hour in which the
murder Is supposed to have been COM
mitted. She carried a satchel, and
after leaving the cab walked rapidly
toward the Burdick house. The police
are investigating some of the women
who worked in Burdick's family, hop.
ing that something may turn up in
that direction to throw some light on
the crime.
With the exception of this latest
clew the mystery is as far from solu-
tion as ever.
The one woman who has been under
strong suspicion, and who has become
known as the police suspect" is be.
lieyed by some of the officials of the
police department to be guiltless. Mrs.
Seth T. Paine is no longer under SUR
yeillance, and the police admit that
she had no connection with the crime.
Some of the officials do not pretend
to have any clear idea who the MUIR
derer is; they simply say that the
right trail has not been struck. The
probability of an immediate arrest be-
ing made in the case grows slighter
every hour.
Other officials are as sanguine as
ever that an arrest will be made. They
Will not predict when. 1t may be made
at any moment; it may not be for
week. Among those who remain I'm.
shaken in this belief Is Supt. Bull. He
declared that he suspected the same
person now as being the slayer of
Burdick as he did earlier in the week
and that an arrest was only matter
of time.
The police have withdrawn from
Mrs. Paine and her house in Elmwood
avenue the surveillance that has been
maintained since the day after the
murder. Restraint is no longer exer,
cised over her movements, and she
may even leave the city If she wishes

Patrolman August Meyer, the police
man who stood at the corner of Ash.
land avenue and Bryant street and
saw the mysterious unknown woman
on her lonely way, confronted Mrs.
Paine and scrutinized her.
81 cannot say that she is the wom-
an" he replied to his superiors. If
comparative description counts for
anything, he might have added that he
could say she was not the woman, for
the woman he described weighed at
least $50 pounds, while Mrs, Paine,will
not scale within twenty pounds Of
that
The police are sorely disappointed
by the failure Of their effort to Identify
the lone woman. They had hoped to
establish who she was, where she
lived, and where she had BEEN. So
far as the law Is concerned, she Is
unknown, unidentified, unrecognized,
and as mysterious as ever-merely a
figure who emerged from the darkness
near the Burdick home about the hour
when Burdick was murdered.
An interesting development Is the
statement made by Chief of Detec.
tives Cusack that the golf stick theory
had been abandoned. He Is satisfied
that the putter was not used in com
hitting the murder. He also expressed
the conviction that the weapon used
was carried away from the house. He
Is sure of that, but he is not SO sure
that it was carried to the house Of the
murderer. Neither will he venture an
opinion as to the kind Of weapon
used.
An order has been sent out directing
that the sewers IN the vicinity Oh the
Burdick house be searched. The pc.
lice hope to find in them the weapon
they seek. They have some idea that
it was a bottle, the cocktail bottle
which Burdick bought on his way
home the day before his death and
placed in a sideboard. This bottle has
never been found, although Burdick
did not leave his house after he
brought 1t in. The wrapper was found
in a garbage can in the rear of the
house three days after the murder,
That has been one of the little mys.
teries which the police never have
been able to explain.
