MISSED CONNECTION,
REFUSED EXTRA FARE
w. A. Faucett, OF George
town, Brings Action Against
Railroad for Arrest

Atlantic City. n. j., Aug. 15.-Wil-
liam A. Faucet Of Georgetown, Del,
was arrested last night by a special
officer Of the Pennsylvania railroad be-
cause he refused to pay twenty-five
cents extra carfare on the night At
lantic City express out of Broad street
station.
Mr.. Faucet was accompanied by his
wife and his son, L. p. Faucet. The
son paid the extra fare, but the father
contended that the train out of Della
ware which ought to have reached
Philadelphia in time to connect with
the Camden train for the shore, was
late, and. therefore. the railroad COM
pany could not collect the quarter,
which was for ticket over the Dela-
ware river bridge.
House Sergeant W. b. Rich, who was
asked to lock up the Delawarean, said
that in his judgment the man was right
and that he would not hold him except
on his own recognizance for a hearing
today. Mr.. Faucet gave his address
and said he would defend his action,
and also stated that he would bring ac-
ton against the railroad for his ar
rest.

Remarkable Interview in
Which Addicks Tells
CreeImaG Things for
Which Most Men Would
Pay Handsomely Not
to Have Published

Every time James Creelman inter-
views John Edward Addicks he gets
something out of him, but it is some
thing" that most men would gladly pay
a correspondent handsomely not TO
publish. 1t will be remembered that II
was to Creelman few years ago that
he made the admission of having spent
a quarter million dollars up to that
time in his campaign for the Senate.
This time he bombastically declares;
"As long as l am on top of the
sod / will keep up my fight. Not
that I care for the Senatorship-
for / am 90 years old and sick Of
abusive politics-but 1 cannot az
ford TO be beaten. ! am confident
that the next Legislature of Della
ware will elect me to the United
states Senate
He then goes on to say that the is
sue is not Roosevelt or Parker. but
Addicks or no Addicks, thus with his
usual modesty. placing his candidacy
above national politics. In this con-
nection many will recall that he was
urged in 1895 when he held out fouI
men to himself. thus defeating the
election of a senator, to yield to the
majority. as the administration badly
needed another Republican Senator, and
he declared that he didn't care what the
administration wanted. 1t is the same
mind that conceived the Washburr
telegram: IF ] am not elected Senator
1 propose to sink the Republican party
ten thousand fathoms deep"
II comes to the Delaware Republi-
cans with peculiar force at this time
as it shows that Addicks places his
own interests above the success OF
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. He says;
"Of course, Delaware will go Re
publican this year. The issue IS
not Roosevelt or Parker. It is I'd
dicks or no Addieks-that is all
there is to it. Behind this issue
there is an issue Of transcendent
importance. the right Of the ma
jority to rule.
He then goes on to make claim
which even his supporters will hardl,
regard as modest. 1t is nothing les'
than that a majority of all the voteri
OF the State-Democrats and Republi'
cans-want him to go to the Senate
and that his party can whip both TN
Regular Republicans and the Demo
Gratis on llldA ArouHs 4 MS ANN" AN
harmonize with the estimates OF Dr
Layton who in his exuberance claim
only two-thirds of the Republican
voters. Addicks' own words are:
THE majority of the voters Of
Delaware want TO see me in the
Senate. They will have their way
after this election, / think. The
handful of disgruntled Republicans
who. under Mr. DUPONT, have been
making a personal war on me for
years in the hope of securing the
Office for themselves, may join with
the Democrats. perhaps but even
that will not defeat US. We can
whip them and the Democrats to-
gether If necessary.
There is no chance OF Mr.. Roose-
welt losing the state. OF course,
II withdraw from the fight the
Democrats would probably win.
He goes on to say that should h

drop aut OF the fight hundreds Of men
would refuse to register and vote. Civ
ing the impression either that the mass
of Delaware Republicans care nothing
for national policies or State issues save
as they relate to his candidacy, or that
they would neglect to register because
there would be nobody to pay their
fees and thus violate the constitution.
His own words are:
Hundreds of men would refuse
to register or vote. There never
was greater devotion than my sup
porters show to me. But l do not
intend to withdraw. This fight will
never end till | am dead or in the
Senate. It is a matter Of principle
as well as pride.
He next remarks that he is deeply
touched" by the loyalty of his followers
That they have touched" him Otter
and deeply will not be denied, and that
they are preparing to touch him agair
is evident. And then comes the re-
markable declaration that hundreds OF
babies have been named for him which
he apparently regards as the climax C
his argument. Again his exact lam
lguage is worth quoting:
Il am deeply touched by loyalty
of the Republicans of Delaware.
Every month have fresh proofs of
their attachment to me. Why,
hundreds and hundreds Of babies
have been named for me in the
State. The voters understand the
malice of the overthrown oligarchy
Of oficeholders which has been
bounding me for years"
