DR. GATES MIND GONE
Physician Wanted In Brouwer.
 Case Is at Springfield.
HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE DEC. 9.
Police Not Certain He Is as Demented as He seems-Ho1d Him For New
 York Police Authorities =,F.4 hy Re0upmf

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 27.-The Springfield police have just learned that man they have been harboring since Sunday morning is Dr. W. H. Cate of Lakewood, N. J., who is want ed by New York detectives to explain circumstances connected with the death of Mrs Carrie B. Brouwer of Toms River. Dr. Cate came to police headquarters here at o'clock Sunday morning and said his mind was a blank so far as anything previous to Monday, Dec. IS, was concerned.
 He is waiting for some one to come and take him back home or to New York.
 Although sought by New York detec- ssssuas who are trying to learn why he signed death certificate that Mrs. Carrie B. Brouwer of Toms River died of Bright's disease, Dr. Cate insists he can remember nothing.
 The only flash of intelligence he has shown in regard to his previous life came when he was shown photograph of himself sent on by the New York po- lice. After gazing at the picture few minutes Dr. Cate burst into tears and exclaimed:
 That's me. Now know. I'm that fellow"
 It is said that Dr. Cate owed the wo- man $500 at the time of her death and that Dr. Brouwer holds a bill of sale for that amount on Dr. Gates house. hold furniture. He has several credit ors in Lakewood.
 While it is now alleged that Mrs. Brouwer did not die of Bright's disease and that Dr. Cate is wanted to explain his connection with the case, he is not prisoner here in the criminal sense. The Lakewood doctor is being well treated, as he appeared here Sunday morning and, going of his own accord to police headquarters, asked to be cared for.
 Different attempts made during the day to engage the man in conversation met with success only so far as the past weeks happenings are concerned. His only answer to question on the Brouwer case or any other matter is a look Of dumb ignorance.
 If the man is shamming," said Mar shal Stebbins, ''he is the most clever fakir have met. At the same time have received no request that he be held for any offense, and I will not question him on such matter until do receive definite information. The New York police simply said they were asked by relatives to locate him, as he has been missing from Lakewood since Dec. Q. If his memory is gone, do not want to upset him with questions. If he is shamming, that will all come out in good time"
 A man who claimed to be Holyoke doctor came in and said he had Known Dr. Cate and that there was no possl- ble doubt of the Identification.

A MISSING PRESIDENT.
Santo Domingo on the Verge
 of Revolution.
MORALES SAID TO HAVE BEEN SHOT
Conflict Between Two Factions Im- Mfnenf, Probably at San Juan. Our Government Will Inter-
 vene, if Necessary

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Santo Do- mingo seems to be on the verge of a peculiar revolution. President Morales, dissatisfied with the support of his cabinet, has left the capital, Santo Do mingo city. with few followers, and it is said that his intention is to estab- llsh new capital and cabinet, thereby forming new government. The state, the war and the navy departments have been informed of the trouble.
 The cabinet sent troops after Mo rales. These forces, pursuing, encoun- tered him, with sixty men, near San Cristobal and exchanged shots. It is said that Morales was wounded in the leg.
 Vice President Caceres has dispatch ed commission to Monte Cristi on the United States warsh.2 Dubuque to con fer with Demetrio Rodriguez there.
 It Is admitted that if Morales is driv- en out and if the island is to be dis turbed by long revolution the scheme of President Roosevelt to continue the modus viyendl and collect the customs ; must <ail.
 At Puerto Plata there seems already to have been trouble, the captain of the port being shot, wounded and captured. Whether there is any connection be- tween the affair at Puerto Plata and the departure from the capital of Presi- dent Morales is not quite clear. As understood in Santo Domingo city, Mo rales is on his way to join the Jimenis- tas, party of Jimenez. in opposition to the Horacistas, Horacio's followers.
 A conflict between the two factions is expected soon, probably in the vicin- ity of San Juan or Puerto Plata. This information makes 1t seem that the movement at Puerto Plata was in con cert with the departure of Morales from Santo Domingo city.
 No one here will predict the outcome. It has been known all along that Mo rales is nothing more than figurehead, and he Is likely to be thrown out of office.
 If lawless acts are committed against Americans and American interests or if there is interference with the coIlec- ton of the Dominican customs by this government or acts of violence occur which in the opinion of the officials here would make it proper for this gov ernment to interfere this step will be taken and measures adopted to quell the trouble This decision was reached by the state department officials and was confirmed at a conference at the White House, in which the president and Secretaries Root. Taft and Bona parte participated.

Fatal Accident Near Freehold, N. T.
 One Dead and Twelve Injured.
 FREEHOLD, x. J., Dec. 27. = One man was killed and twelve injured, two so badly it is feared they will die. in collision between a Pennsylvania freight train and stage carrying members of basket ball team and their friends from a game they had played in nearby town.
 The stage. with about fifteen men in- side and others sitting on the seat with the driver. crossed the railroad tracks directly in the path of the fast freight. The men were singing and having a jolly time. The driver did not notice the approaching train, which was hid den from his view by clump of trees.
 The stage rumbIed on to the tracks; then the headlight of the locomotive shot out of the darkness and was on the vehicle in an instant The horses had hardly cleared the track when the crash came. The driver and those on the front seat gave cry of alarm and jumped. Those inside had no chance after their first warning, the shrill whistle of the locomotive sl- ready upon them.
 The dead man Is John Benneman. His home was in Asbury Park.
 Howard Soffield and Samuel Hamp- ton. the most seriously injured. will probably die. Four others are suffer ing from fractured skulls. They are Leon and Robert Apgar. Harry Dolan and Joseph Barrett. Nelson Shuts and Oscar Kirby were sitting on the front seat with the driver. John Wool ley. They and woolley escaped with slight injuries.

SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT
E. A. Merritt, Jr., Gives Out
 Statement at New York.
A SWEEPING REFORMATION TO COME
Insurance Inquiry Revelations Have Caused Deep Distrust on Part of Public and Remedial Legis-
 IntiOn Is Necessary.

NEW YORK, Dec. PIE. A. Mer- ritt. Jr., candidate for the Republican nomination for speaker of the New York state assembly, gave out state ment on the speakership fight last night in which he said that "the Hig- gins leaders" thought they could create a new board of control with Governor Higgins as dictator or boss. Mir. Mer- ritt's statement is appended:
 Many inquire why contest, proper enough in the Republican state conyen- ton, should be brought into the organi- zation of the state assembly. The reason is plain. An orderly and decent administratlon lofs Affalrs in the assem- bly, and the passage of wholesome legis- lation this winter in that body would be to some extent to the credit of the Republican organization. The facts elicited in the course of the insurance investigation have caused deep distrust on the part of the public, and the need for appropriate legislation is evident.
 Whatever of virtue there may be is desired to go to the credit of Governor Higgins. The Higgins leaders = AL dridge, Hendricks, Kilburn, Franchot and others-think to establish a new board of control with the governor as leader. dictator or boss. There is to be no room for anybody who has hereto fore done the work of the Republican party in the legislature under either the leadership of former Governor Odell or of Senator Platt.
 "The change is designed to be as sweeping as the reorganization of the Scottish church, historically known as the New Plan"
