REORGANIZATION
Is AGREED UPON
UNITED STATES SHlPBUILDING
COMPANY MATTER MAY BE AD-
JUsTED BY RETENTION OF CON-
TRoL BY MR.. scHWA6.

New York. January 22.-An agreement
on terms for the reorganization of the
United States Shipbuilding company and
the abandonment of the Sheldon reorgani-
cation plan, it Is said on good authority,
has been substantially reached between
Receiver Smith of the company and
Charles M. Schwab and members OF the
Sheldon syndicate, but this plan is said to
be acceptable neither to the hondholders'
protective committee nor the common
wealth trust company and the litigation
IS practically bound to continue until the
Schwab interests make still further con-
cessions.
The plan as outlined tentatively pro-
vides for the retention of control by MIR.
Schwab. giving him SO 100000 preferred and
S6000,0O0 common out of a total of apr OK
imately $30,00000O stock of the reorgan-
Ised company, the remaining Sc 900, 900 pre-
ferred and S9,000,00O common going to the
other interests. Under 1t, Mr. Schwab
abandons his contention that his mort
gage on the Bethlehem plant should be
given priority over the first mortgage
bonds on the entire shiphuilding company
property. this being one of the features
of the Sheldon plan.
Samuel Untermeytr, of counsel for the
bondholders' protective committee said
that number of plans had been pro-
posed informally to him but that none
was such that he We uld be willing to ac-
cept 1t for his clients.

MANY PoPULlsTs SAID
TO FAVOR ROOSEVELT.

The populist national executive commit

latter part of next month, when a call
Will be issued for the populist national
convention
Former Senator Butler of North Caro-
lima, chairman of the populist national
committee, is In correspondence with
members and he will be governed by their
wishes In selecting the date for the COM
n1ittee meeting THE initiative and refer
endum governs in our organization"
Chairman Butler observed today, and
everything depends upon the wishes of the
members of the committee"
'"rhere is division among the members
of the committee" said Mr.. Butler, "as
to the part the party should play In the
coming campaign. All agree that the con-
vention should be held after the two old
parties have nominated tickets and adopt
ed platforms, but variance of opinion
arises as to the nomination of a ticket.
The element led by former Senator Allen
of Nebraska, which met at Denver last
year and declared against fusion with any
party, is in favor of a middle of-the-road
policy and the nomination OF a populist
presidential ticket.
1.-THE other element Is disposed to be
governed by the action of the two other
parties, and give its endorsement and sup
port to the party that comes nearer de-
claring for populist principles, provided al
ways an acceptable candidate for the
presidency is nominated, Not few pop
ulists think President Roosevelt meets all
the requirements of the situation"

Popular Young School Teacher
Found Dead
WAS INSTRUCTOR IN LATIN
Features and Clothing When Found
Looked as Though She Had Been
Dragged Along the Ground
Though Mud.
WAS INSTRUCTOR IN LATIN

Bedford. Ind, January 22.-Bedford is
greatly excited over one of the most hor-
rible crimes ever committed in this COM
munity.
At Z o'clock this morning the dead body
of Is Sarah Schaefer, formerly of Elk
hart, Ind, teacher of Latin in the Bed
ford high school, was found in cab
shed with all indications that she had been
criminally assaulted by her murderer.
The body was discovered by William
Cook and his son-in-law John Hendrick.
The features and clothing were so muddy
and bloody, apparently from being
dragged through an alley, that not until
they were taken to the Ferguson morgue
and cleaned were they recognized. The
greatest excitement was created when the
Identity of the murdered girl was estab-
lished.
Miss Schaefer was enc of the most pop
ular young ladies i'll the eclty, thorough
scholar and y graduate of two colleges.
She was last seen alive at the house of
Mrs Martha johnson, two and a half
squares from her room. Here she mad
been taking her meals After finishing
her supper last night she started to her
looms to meet a class to whom she had
been giving a course in Latin.
The city council has offered a reward
of $500 and the county a like amount for
the arrest Of the murdere r of Miss
Schaefer. A post norton shows that the
young woman must have been attacked
shortly after supper as her food had not
yet begun to digest when killed.
Talk of Lynchina is Heard.
Bloomington, Ind January 22.-Judge
Wilson said tonight that in the event OF
the murderer being caught, an attempt
would no doubt be made to lynch him.
Company II, under Captain Lauden, is
being held in readiness TO leave for Bed
ford, should the occasion require.

BROWN WAS AFTER

TOLD TRADERS HE WOULD BUY
ALL AVAILABLE UP TO 500. 900
BALES AT THE PRESENT MAR
KET PRICE.

New Orleans, January 22.-Brown sur
prised the ring at the cotton exchange
this morning by telling traders to go to
his brokers and give them everything
they had for sale for May delivery at
the market price. He said he was will
ling to buy everything offered up to half
million bales. Before he made this Of
fer he bid 1918 for 25,000 bales of May.
His purchases were heavy.
The market remains in a healthy con-
dition in spite of the high level that
have been attained. Present prices are
the highest since war times and since
the future market has been established.
There appears to be no weak long inter-
est in the market and brokers are ex-
acting heavy margins on all purchases.
The most noticeable feature of todays
market was the absence of sellers. Every
one wanted to buy Liverpool was bet
ter than expected and prices were sent
up on this and continud good spot de-
mand at advances over yesterdays prices.
Late in the morning March was 20 points

Regarding the Allegations Made
Against Ambrecht-Senator

BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, January 22.-(Special.)--
The prevailing opinion among democratic
members of congress is that unless there
Is a decided change in the situation near
~ all the states will send uninstructed
delegations to the St Louis convention.
The recent interview of w. ]. Bryan
in favor of the re-affirmation of the 1900
platform does not meet with a hearty re-
spouse among democratic members The
belief is general that Mr.. Bryan will
be unable to control a sufficient number
of delegates to dictate the platform, and
1t is doubtful If he can hold one-third Of
the delegates soldly against all candidates
who have been mentioned.
In a paragraph in the Commoner today
Mr. Bryan suggests that If Judge Parker

abandonment of Alsace to Germany.
The chamber was thronged and during
the debate five interpretations were ad-
dressed to the government The speaker
sought to make the issue one of the gov
ernments abandonment of Alsace.
Premier Combes replying declared that
the agitation had the same theatrical
character as Boulangerism. 1t was an
effort to revive an expiring nationalist ele-
ment.
After long and heated discussion, dur
ing which numerous resolutions, some
blaming and some approving the govern
ment, was handed in, Premier Combes in
timated that he would accept motion
made by M. Sarrien as the order of the
day pure and simple with the understand
ing that this should be taken to imply
approval OF the governments action. The
division resulted in ministerial victory,
the vote being 259 to 243.

in the arrest of about sixty persons. Or

GRIM GETS PURSE.
Suffers Much Punishment From Light
Weight Champion Cans.

Baltimore, January 22.-Joe Grim of
Philadelphia won the purse hung up by
the Eureka Athletic and Social club in
a ten-round bout tonight, and an addi-
tional 500 from Cans, who thought he
could put out the human punching bag"
In six rounds Cans weighed about 1888
pounds Grim seemed to be twenty five
pounds heavier
The lightweight champion cleverly
ducked many vicious swings of the Ital-
ian, who failed to land telling blow,
while Cans played throughout for the face
and landed enough right and left hand
blows to have put any man in his class
to sleep in the first few rounds. Grim was
so badly cut about the face and head that
the police interferred in the middle of
the tenth round.
