From Jefferson's diary it Is learned
that il turned on the assumption by the
national government of the state debts
entailed by the revolutionary war. The
house had previously defeated the As
sumption" as 1t was called. There was
much bitterness and some threats Of a
dissolution of the Union. The New
England states particularly were much
disgruntled. The southern section had
generally opposed and voted against
assumption.
Eventually. through the efforts of
Jefferson and Hamilton. an agreement
was patched up by which two anti-as-
sumption Virg MIA members, r. E. Lee
and Alex White. were to change their
position 10 favor assumption. while

THOMPSON DIES
FROM ACCIDENT
Charge That Injury Was
Due to Blow From Police. !.
man Murphy's Club Denied

John Thompson, the 22-year-old son
Of o. Thompson. an Inspector for the
United Railroads.. died at the City
Emergency Hospital early yesterday
morning with a fractured skull,
Thompson received :. his injuries at
Woodward's Pavilion on Wednesday
night and the first report given out
was that Patrolman Michael Murphy
had struck the young man blow that
felled him to the concrete sidewalk
and injured his head. An investiga-
ton started by the police officials yes
terday seem, however, to exonerate
Murphy and show that death was due
to accident 81
The alleged "bullfight' was in pro-
gress in the Pavilion when the affair
happened. Policeman Murphy was
detailed by Captain Anderson. ON
Woodward avenue. in the rear of the
Pavilion, to preserve order. On one
occasion a crowd of youths procured a
piece of scantling and started to spry
one of the rear doors open. Murphy
discovered them and drove them away.
Quiet prevailed for a time, but the
boys returned later and Murphy again
gave chase. 1t was at this. time that
young Thompson stumbled while rum
ming and struck his head on the pave
ment.
Murphy did everything possible for
the boy and had him removed to the
Central Emergency Hospital. There it
was discovered that the patient could
not live and he expired. a few hours
afterward. Several witnesses were
quoted as having seen Murphy strike
Thompson, but when these were inter-
viewed by Detective Matherson last
night they denied the statement. J. F.
Mullen of 1431 Stevenson street, to
whom Murphy gave the piece of scant-
ling, said that he witnessed the affair
and that the patrolman was simply in
the act of driving the crowd from the
rear of the pavilion, George A. Hol-
land and wife of 48 Woodward ave-
nue., who were named as witnesses
against Murphy, say they were in the
pavilion at the time and do not know
what occurred.
Murphy says his attention was first
called to boys attempting to pry open
the door. He drove them away and
when they returned he made another
attack on the crowd. Thompson, in
attempting to make his escape,
stumbled and struck his head on the
pavement. Chief Whitman will con-
clude the investigation tomorrow
morning, at which time Officer MUIR
ply has been ordered to appear before
him.

TROOPS PRESERVE ORDER
AT HUNGARIAN ELECTIONS
Early Returns Indicate That -Tisza
Must Relinquish the Reins OF
Government.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 26.-The
elections are proceeding throughout the
country with the aid of troops to pre-
serve order. No serious disorders have
yet been reported.
The results reported tonight are too
fragmentary to afford basis for pre-
diction with certainty, but there are
some indications that Premier Tisza
will fail to command majority in the
new Chamber of Deputies sufficiently
large to justify his retention, of the
reins of the Government. The united
opposition parties have already cap
tured thirty seats and 1t looks as
though Tisza, in the new Parliament.
will be compelled to depend for support
on the forty Croatian Deputies instead,
as formerly, of having q majority Of
twenty without the aid OF the Croa-i
tfans.
Count Tisza has gained personal
success against Count Julius Andrassyi
in the Fourth District of Budapest.
Among others elected are Herr Daniel,
author of the, famous Lex Daniel,vi
and President PerozeH. who secured the
adoption of the law for ending obstruc-
tton in the Ghamber Of fsDeputies. s
