Cook County Committeeman
Will Garry Message to
Governor Yates.
CANNOT CARRY THE WARDS
Sherman Appears as Promoter Of In
dependent Ticket in Peoria Coun-
ty-To Break Machine.

Members of the republican execu-
tive committee of Cook county will
hold a meeting Monday in which the
senatorial situation will be the main
question under discussion. Ii is pro-
posed that the committee send repre-
| sentatives to the state fair meeting of
| politicians. at which time decisions OF
| he persons who are mentioned as
candidates will probably be reached.
Such a delegation would have only
one purpose, and that would be 10 eX-
plain TO former Gov. Yates how impos-
| sible il will be for the leaders of the
present Cook county organization TO
support his candidacy.
Ii is believed that Gov Deneen has
explained this impossibility TO Mr..
| testimony on the subject is needed,
the county committeeman are willing
to make a trip to Springfield.
Prevent Embnrrassment.
The committee will also consider the
Iadvisability of taking the step of their
own volition. to prevent any "embar-
rassment" which might be felt by eth
er the present or the former governor
on the subject.
The committeeman explain that it
will not be possible for them TO sup
port Mr.. Yates even if they should de-
sire TO do so. A few. who believe they
could carry their wards for him if they
undertook the responsibility, DO not
wish 10 embark in what they consider
highly impolitic venture, and others
are frank enough to say they could not
deliver if they undertook the job
Nothing From HamIin.
Former Attorney General Rowland
| j. Hamlin was interviewed in Chicago
yesterday upon the subject of his can
didacy for the senatorial toga, but he
revealed nothing. He says that it is
| too early to even discuss the subject.
The Indications thus far are that the
state machine in Cook county would
prefer Hamlin TO Yates in the fight
against Cullom, and in case the three
! are in the race il is probable that the
anti-Cullom men in that county would
make their fight around the former at
torney general.

Did Not See Engine Approaching from

Davenport.

His mind centered on turning a
switch for an approaching passenger
train. James w Woolheater. a switch
tender for the Rock Island, failed to
notice a switch engine approaching in
the opposite direction. until ii was up
on him. He became aware of his dan
ger when the train was within 10 feet
of him Attracted by the shouts of the
train crew, he turned in time to see
the train just as it struck him. He was
knocked 10 the ground, his head lying
across the rail. Three cars passed over
his body. almost Severing his head,
and killing him instantly. The fatality
occurred at Thirty-fifth street, just OPP
posite the car barns of the Tri-City
Railway company.
Usually Cautious.
Mr.. WOOlheater was Davenport
| man, who had been in the employ OF
the Rock Island at the local yards
since June, 1901 He was a reliable
employee. careful and cautious, and OF
temperate habits. Last evening at
1910 O'Clock, as passenger train No.
IL was approaching from the east,

heater stepped out on the track to
open the switch for the passenger
train, not noticing the switch engine
bearing down on him When the train
was about 100 feet from him, the yard
master, William Mielke. noticing the
mans danger. shouted to him. He
seemed not to hear. and instead turned
toward the passenger train. The
switch engine was moving about three
miles an hour, and when the train was
within 10 feet of him three of the
crew shouted to Woolheater. He turn
ed, and was struck on the head by the
front car. Before the train could be
stopped, the three cars had passed over
his body

The body was removed by employees

| conducted an inquest. The jury, after
| hearing the evidence, returned an open
| verdict, that Mr.. Woolheater came to
his death by being struck by a switch
train in the Rock Island yards.
l.. E Carlisle, the switchman who
was in charge of the crew, was the
| first witness examined. He was on the
front car of the train, which consisted
of five empty coal cars and a caboose,
being showed by the engine. Mr.. Car
| Isle said he saw Woolheater in front
of the switch train, and that he shout
ed TO him. At the same time he gave
a signal to the engineer to stop the
| train. He saw the car strike the man.
Thomas Roach, another switchman,
who was on the train, saw the accident,
and said that the switchtender was
giving his attention to the passenger
train, apparently not noticing the APP

shouted, but the warning was too late

HE only way to prove whether this story
is true or not is to find the professor
(who could tell you all about it) and
the quartermaster (who claims to have
been an eye-witness), and ask them; or
to believe the tale that Billy Schneider,
Jr., and his cousin, Gibson Peters, H.,
tell, without any proof at all. But the
two young gentlemen say they really

it honestly happened on the Fourth Of
