DOVER. Del. Feb l3.-t'nited States
Senator j, Frank Alice this evening con-
fessed judgment for his fortune, tying up
every dollar of his hitherto unenoumbered
| Delaware property. This was the climax
| of a dramatic exhibition OF fealty TO a
political associate. He has deliberately
| turned his back upon all other claims to
/ extend financial aid TO j. Edward Addicks,
long his political leader and associate.
| Alice insisted that Addcks should enter
I the Delaware Senatorial fight with litiga-
ton against him settled and with hands
| free of debt. Addicks saw no great hurry
and thought the Bay State receivers abso-
lutey secure in the $4,000 mortgage
which they had taken on his farm estate,
Carroroft.
Then III raise the money said Allee
who has held a lifelong record for prompt
payment OF debts and fulflment Of prom
ises. He dashed out and borrowed $33 600
which he put with $4,000 of his own money
and handed over. The receivers got the
money. Carrcroft was freed, and Addioks
came down to Dover unencumbered by
debt, and started out upon his Senatorial
fight, mastering twenty-five men to Du-
Points nine.
Senator Alice borrowed his $3s 900 from
woman, the sister-in-law OF a political
associate. James C. Shaw of New Castle
The payee, Mrs. Ida Shaw, entered up the
bond to-day, and Senator Alice confessed
judgment through his attorney. Herbert II.
Ward, in the full sum of s33, 29S6s. The
judgment is made payable on or before
Nov. Is, and the docket is signed by Walter
Pardon. prothonotary.
All the recent developments concerning
Addicks have thrown the troubled political
waters into chaos. Early to-day an agree
ment was made whereby seven or eight
OF the Addicks men decided to desert him
during this week. to support 7 Coleman

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l3.-When Receiver
George Wharton Pepper of the Bay State
Gas Company acquired mortgages on the
Carrcroft farm OF j. Edward Addicks,
who was required TO produce large amounts
of cash in settlement OF the suit. Senator
Alice went to Mr.. Addicks and volunteered
to take over property for which Mr.. Adj
dicks paid nearly $40 600, SO that the estates
could remain in friendly rather than UNI
friendly hands while negotiations for set
thing the gas company's affairs were pending
Senator Alice, 1t Appears could not raise
the s4s, 900 in cash and negotiated n loan
from Mrs. Ida f. Shaw. an acquaintance
and the widow OF the brother OF James c.
Shaw OF New Castle.
II is understood that Mrs. Shaw was 50
well acquainted with the whole affair that
she did not desire to enter the bonds against
Senator Alice, but because she is a woman
and there might be a distortion Of the affair
Mr. Alice insisted that the paper be entered
regularly against him.
Addicks, it is said. at first refused the
Alice offer He holds gilt edged mining
and other stocks which could be realized
on at any time Senator Alice, however
insisted on the Carrcroft properties
being cleared up, and the transaction was
made, which has ended with the new entry
on the Kent county court records. Senator
Alice is amply secured, and the bond only
temporarily deprives him of full possession
Of his Delaware properties.
