 Of the leader S that the convention
 would remain in session until the can

 able to report before midnight settled
 the matter and an adjournment was

 nominated tonight the convention
 would be stampeded to Yates. It is cer- tain that the Yales men had planned to hold the convention all night and con- sented reluctantly to the adjournment.

AFFECTED BY SERMON.
Society Man Confcsses EmbezzIement
 and is Now in Jail.

Chicago, May 12.-Influenced by an eloquent sermon, Frederick Beach, a well-known society man of this city, has been led to a confession of embez- element and, as a result of the self imposed accusation, is now under ar rest awaiting trial. In addition to en- bezzlement charges he may also be tried on charge of bigany. Beach formerly held a position of confidence in a Chicago mercantile house. Ac- cording to the police, he two years ago appropriated $1,O00 of the funds en- trusted to him. Fearing that the short age would be discovered, it is claimed, he afterwards cashed a check for S10,- GOO made payable to himself and inn mediately left the city. After visiting number of places he finally settled in Dallas, Texas. 1t is said that while in Dallas, Beach married Miss Ethel Miller, of that city. Several years be- fore leaving, it is also said, Beach had been married here. The discovery of Beachs identity and his subsequent arrest was the result of remarks made by him after attending services in a Baptist church in Forth North, Tex. The young man was brought back to Chicago to-day.

MAI TRY AMERICAN STRATEGY
Japs to Use It to Drive Port Arthur
 Squadron Out.

Shan Hai Kwan, May F, 10 p. rn.--A report received from London that there has been fighting at Wu Flung Tien is discredited here. It is reported that there is only small Japanese force in that vicinity. The main force of the Japanese is said to be concentrated near Port Arthur with seige guns, and their intention is believed to be to at tempt a repetition of the strategy of the naval and military forces of the United States before Santiago and to drive the Russian fleet out to battle
 There is no news here of the where abouts of the first Japanese army corps.
 Three hundred and fifty Russian sol- diers are at New Chwang, and the city is quiet. Most of the white women who resided at New Chwang have gone to Tien Tsin, but the white men re- main there. The censorship at New Chwang is severe. United States Con- sul Miller has not been allowed to an- swer Minister Conger's request for al statement as to the local situation.

Convention Unanimous fin excluding
 Them in Southern States.

Rochester, N. r., May 12.-The del- egates to the convention of the Hotel and Restaurant Empioyes Internation- al Alliance Bartenders International league excluded colored bartenders in the southern states from tn eorganiza- tion by a unanimous vote to-day. The resolution adopted sets forth that no charter be granted hereafter in any city to the colored bartenders in Ken lucky, Tennessee. Georgia. Florida, AL abama, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, West Virginia, Virginia, North Caro- lima, South Carolina, Oklahoma terri tory and Indiana unless by permission of a majority of the locals, and that no colored bartender be permitted to work on travelling card in any of the states mentioned. This last provision is intended to strike down the employ ment of colored labor on buffet rail- road cars. One reason given for the adoption of the resolution is that bar tenders in the south are unskilled worlmen.
 The convention elected these officers: President, Robert A. Callahan, Boston; vice presidents, T. J. Sullivan, Hart ford, Conn; Fred J. Seams, Buffalo, N. Y; Timothy J. Kinnally, Chicago; J. A.

HEARST MEN BANQUET.
ALEXANDER TROUT DENoUNOEs
 PARKER MEN AND METHODS

Bitter Speech on Hartford Convention
 and Accusation of Chairman wells Hearst Club Central League Organ
 ized-Changes in Primaries Advo- cated.
 Criticism of grafting, boodling, back lsliders and unfair election methods was the distinctive feature of the speeches at the banquet given by Alexander Troup last night to the Hearst dele gates from New Haven to the demo- cratic state convention. The banquet was held at the Hotel Oneco and the faithful Hearst men were there in force. Alexander Troup in his. speech, (which was the event of the evening, accused the Parker workers of using money at Hartford to secure votes, and he spent some time in severely criticis- ling Chairman Welles, of the democratic town committee. Many speeches were given and the company voted unani- mously, on motion of MT. Troup, to form themselves into the central league of the New Haven Hearst club.
 Besides MT. Troup, the following were present: John Barlow, Frank T. Glee- son, Harry Leigh, Dr. F. J. Brothers, John Doughan, John H. Ashton, George H. Hunter, J. Edward Miller, Edward J. Minnix, Frank P. Cafferty, Alder man Charles Spreyer. Nicholas F. Cor coran, John A. Kean, James M. Sulli- van, John McGrail, Edward J. Maher, John F. Savers, Thomas J. Murphy, w. H. Burke, Michael J. Burke and Alex lander Troup, jr. Edward J. Maller acted as toastmaster
 ] MT Troup was the first speaker, and The began by referring to the statement by the editor of the Waterbury Amer ican to the effect that the Hearst in- structed delegation from New Haven was made up of the riff-raff of the city. After discussing this statement with much irony MT. Troup said that he was glad to be among the riff-raff, if the Hearst delegation was to be called such. MT. Troup then proceeded to ex- plain the behavior of the Hearst dele lgates. He said that of seventy-four delegates sent from New Haven county instructed for Hearst thirteen fell by the wayside, but sixty-one remained
 steadfast and voted for James p. Me Cabe as their choice for delegate
 MT. Troup then detailed some of the alleged actions of the backsliders. He said that two delegates from a certain town had come to Hartford instructed flor Hearst These men had called at lthe Hearst headquarters in Hartford and asked that they be given control of the state committee for their district and get $2OO apiece besides. He said Ithat "a Naugatuck valley town that shall be nameless" chose six Hearst in- lstructed men, and of these three stayed
 at home. They voted by proxy, and - Is1..4i,,.,nd nri 1yhird Pa un !

THE "Ln COLLISION.
Railroad Commissioners Find. Motor
 man Misjudged Distance.


 New York, May 12.-The state rail- road commission after hearing testimo- ny for two days regarding the Third avenue "L" accident last Monday night, to-day finds that the motorman, Will liam Cornell. of the second train, mis- judged the distance in which he could stop his train. The commission finds that it is possible to arrange controllers so that when the current is shut off the brakes will be applied automatically, and it has decided to recommend them to the "Ln system. The Third avenue collision resulted in the death of Motor man Cornell and serious injury to sev- eral others.
 Officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit company later issued a state ment that the cars in the subway divi- sion of the Interborough company will be equipped with mechanical devices so that at any time that there is power flowing to the motors the motorman must keep his hand on the controller. If he removes his hand the power is au- tomatically shut off and the airbrakes are applied. This device has been adopted after extended experiments, and for the first time in the history of railroading will be in use on the Inter borough cars.
 A device will also be installed soon on all cars of the Manhattan division to accomplish the same result.

DR. BUCKLEY DEFEATED.
Unable to Carry His Point Before the
 General Conference.


 Los Angeles Cal, May 12.-Business moved very slowly in the Methodist General conference to-day. The morn ing hours were taken up in a tiresome discussion of the report of the commit tee on rules of order, which occupied part of yesterdays session. Only once were the proceedings enlivened, when the two greatest debaters of the body, Dr. ]. M. Buckley of New York and Dr. T. D. Nicely of Philadelphia ex- changed rhetorical retorts over the method of constituting the Judiciary committee. Dr. Buckley wanted pow CT given to the Bishops to name five of the nineteen members of this inl- portant committee, which was in oppo- sition of the recommendation of the rules committee. The committee re- port finally prevailed.
 Immediately after recess, Rev. Jo- seph c. Hartsell, missionary bishop to Africa. read his report to the confer ence. He made a strong appeal for additional funds to further prosecute his labors in the Christianlzing of the natives. Statistics of the church in Africa showed a membership of 5000. There are 115 schools, says Bishop Hartsell, with $50 teachers and 5000 lscholars. The total value of the Methodist church's property in Africa lis s32O. .000. an increase of $150,000 in the last quadrennium. Bishop Hartsell paid an eloquent tribute to the char acter of the late Cecil Rhodes.
 A committee was named to carry the greetings of the conference to the con- ference of locomotive engineers now in sessions in this city and the conference adiourned for the day.

TREASURE TRAINv WREoK

 Thrown Into Quandary.

New York Railroad Commissioners Thrown Into Quandary. New York, May 12.-From testimony |elicited in the examination to the ef- feet that the signals involved in the
 accident were in the state of Connect icut the board of railroad commissions |ers who to-day began an investigation
 in to the wreck of the so-called treas
 ure train'' on the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad Monday might last were thrown into more or
 less of quandry. It was developed
 during the examination of witnesses that not only were the signals in Con- Ineeticut, but so also was the switch,
 while the derailed train bumped along about two hundred feet of ties in New York before the final crash off the bank and into a mass of wreckage.
 The commissioners said the geo. graphical facts would not affect the
 purpose nor the results of the inves- l tigation by the board. The final plunge of the engine and cars into wreckage in New York state, they said was a fact sufficient to concern the board in it's duty looking toward
 good railroading and the safety of
 travellers in this state.
 1 Witnesses testified that the train was running at a speed of between 50 and l 60 miles an hour when it was derailed
 at the switch.

BODY OF CHILD IN CHIMNEY
REMAINS OF LITTLE JOSEPHINE
 M,CAHrLL FOUND.
Police Believe She Climbed Into the
 Place to Hide-ChiIdren in the Habit
 of Doing This While at PIay-Letter of Heartless MeddIer to the Mother.

oA a ttcutiiess Wcdufer 10 the Mother.
 New York, May 12.-The police report that the body of six-year-old Josephine MeCahill, who had been missing since May ?, was found tonight, wrapped in rags, in a chimney at her home on Third avenue, this city. The body was lodged near the top of the chimney and | it was necessary to tear away part of the masonry to release it. It Is thought that the body, which was terribly cut lup and mutilated. was placed there within day or two.
 It was believed that the child had been kidnapped and the case had arous- ed much interest here. Rewards aggre- gating S3, $50 have been offered by vari- ous persons for her recovery in case 1t should be discovered that she had been kidnapped, and mass meetings have been held to consider plans for conduct ing the search.
 l To-day a letter was received by Mrs. McCahilI, the childs mother, which read:
 May 9, 1so4.H 1 Dear Friend-As you made such a fuss I was compelled to kill Josie. If you give $500 to boy will send, you can have the body.
 "P. S.--Don't mind stories you hear" l The police regard this letter as the work of some heartless meddler. | After leaving her home on May to play in the street the child was seen on Third avenue with man described as l tall and dark. She had bag of candy 1 in her hand, but was crying That is all the police have had to work on. The search has proceeded on the belief that the man was an Italian and the girl would eventually be found in one of the Italian colonies in this city or in some nearby city.
 I An examination of the body later dis closed the fact that it was badly de- composed but that it had not been mu- tilated. It has been learned that chill dren of the neighborhood have been ac- customed to hide in the chimneys while at play on the roofs and the police now believe that the McCahill girl climbed into the chimney, which rises only four or five feet above the roofs, and fell into 1t.
 1 A strange feature of the case is being l investigated by the police, although l they do not believe the child was mur- dered. Twice to-day, before the body was found, a well dressed young wo- man called at the McCahill home and said that she had presentment that the child would be found in the chim- ney. On her second visit she expressed surprise that search of the chimney had not been made on her previous sug- gestion. She refused to give her name or address, and the police are now try ing to find her. It was after her second visit that the investigation was made which resulted in the finding of the body
