cratic members of the State Senate will
hold a caucus on Monday morning and
decide upon a course of action regard
ing the resolution offered by Senator
Sparks yesterday that the Senate eff
feet an organization without the cleo
tion of a President pro tempore. SEN
aitor Monaghan, the Democratic caucus
chairman, will preside.
Senator Smith, Dem& is in favor OF
Joining forces with the Regulars and
adopting the resolution and 50 are sew
eral others of the Democratic Senators.
It Is stated, however, that Senators
Monaghan and Rose are opposed to it
and will vote in the negative. This will
defeat the proposition. Assuming that
the Democratic Senators other than
Monaghan and Rose-they are five in
number-will join with the three Reg
ular Republicans and support the reso-
iution, they will lack one of the neces-
sary majority of nine, unless aid should
come from the Unions.
Democrats to Change Nominee.
The matter will be considered by the
Democrats at length, however. Sena-
tor Smith drafted the resolution some
days ago. He is extremely anxious
that the Senate should organize and
begin the transaction Of business. It
IS probable that the Democrats viii on
Monday change their caucus nominee
for President pro tenpore from Rose to
Smith in order TO distribute the bou-
quets."

of the Senators into Office, adjourned
the House from Tuesday, March 3, 1903,
until the following Thursday. Five OF

WOMAN DIAMOND
THIEF CAPTURED
Cleverly Swindled Philadel-
phia Jeweler and Arrested
in Washington
is THE WIFE OF A POLICEMAN

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-Charged with
having stolen four valuable diamond
rings from a Chestnut street jewelry
establishment, Mrs. William G. Myers,
or Lannet Keyas. as she calls herself
was a1raigned before Magistrate Koch
ersperger. at the Central Police Station
this morning.
Mrs. Myers is rather an attractive
looking, exceedingly we'll gowned wo-
man about % years of age. She is the
wife of a policeman attached to the
Trenton avenue and Dauphin street
station, but has been separated from
her husband for several months. Her
home is in Scranton.
She was arrested in Washington yes
terday while attempting 10 pawn one
of the stolen rings. The woman was
picked up by a Washington detective
and turned over to two operatives from
the Pinkerton Agency and brought by
them TO this city at midnight last night.
She was accompanied by a young man
who gave his name as Wallace Dav-
idson, and the detectives say the cOu-
Pile were stopping ait the Golden House
i'm Washington under the names OF Mr..
and Mrs. David Wallace.
Other Offences Charged.
In addition to having stolen the jewelry,
the police suspect that Mrs. Myers is the
same woman who, under the name Of
Mrs. J. B. Smith, secured a tailor-made
suit valued at Sl7 from a department store
and who also got a valuable fur coat from
another establishment.
The theft Of the rings was accomplished
Ia
man drove up to the jewelers. and after
spending half an hour inspecting tray
after tray Of rings spread out before her
by obllging statesmen, selected four, and
asked that a clerk be sent with her to the
Hotel Walton, in order that she might
show the rings to her mother who would
aid her in selecting one.
Fooled the Clerk.
A clerk got into the cab with her and
they were driven to the Locust street en-
trance Of the Walton. with apparently
perfect familiarity with the place, she
piloted the clerk to the Turkish room and,
throwing her umbrella, gloves and coat
on divan beside the clerk. she said: u
will go and show the rings to mother. and
will let her decide which one shall take '
When the clerk became tired Of waiting
he made inquiries at the desk. and wa.
told that the young woman had walked
out Of the Turkish room on to the street
where she got into the cab in which sh,
and the clerk had been driven to the hotel
Further inquiry showed that she had beer
driven to Broad street station. The hote
people said that she had not been a guest
or The hotel. and had no ''motheEs OF
3 other relatives in the hotel.
: 1t was then that detectives were put OF
thee ase and her early arrest is a source
OF qualification to the police authorities.
