LED TO THE SLAUGHTER

Virginia Republicans viii receive
with chagrin the announcement made
at the Department of Justice this morn
ing that President Roosevelt has ac-
cepted the resignation of l. l. Lewis as
United States attorney for the eastern
district of Virginia and has appointed
Robert H. Talley. of Norfolk, 10 sue
ceed him.
Judge Lewis has been put forward by
the Republicans as their candidate for
the governorship. When he accepted
the nomination at the Roanoke conveu-
ton early in August, Judge Lewis i'm
nediately resigned his position az
United States attorney.
It was stated at the time that the
department would hold UP the appoint
rnent of successor to Judge Lewis un-
til after the State elections in Virginia
defeated in the gubernatorlai race
This pleased the Virginia Republicans.
for, down in their hearts, they did not
have much hope of elccting their man.
Lewis Is personally the strongest man
the Republicans have in Virginia He
has never been much OF a politician, but
a Judge and man. 1t would be diff
cult TO find Democrat in the state
who will say anything against Lewis
character.
Led to Slaughter.
These clements in Judge Lewis make
up led the Republicans to lead him
forth to the slaughter. AT the same
time they had the decency to hope, when
their candidate severed his connection
with the Federal Government. that he
would rot lose at both ends OF the game
and lhas the place would be saved for
him.
II was the almost unanimous opinion
that there was a string tied to Judge
Lewis resignation and the Presidents
appointment OF Talley comes as com

Some Suspect Fake.

Then there is said TO be a considerable
element that suspects the Addicks-Allee
break is all n fake. anyhow. and that If
Alice is able to get the regulars" to
join forces with the union" Republic
ans. he will turn up in control of an or
ganization that Will enable him to run
everything. and perhaps will make the
effort to land Addicks in the vacant seat.
II seems impossible, in view OF what
has passed between the two former al
lies, that such a story should be be-
lieved; but nevertheless Ii is accepted
by some Delaware people. who are eN-
tremely wary about committing hem
selves at this stage of the fight.

Things are not coming so well this
week for Senator Alice and the others
who recently announced that Edward
Addicks was out OF political business In
Delaware.
Addicks has set about rehabilitating
his fortunes, and wave of sympathy
for him is said to be sweeping over the
State. His political and financial trou-
bles. taken together-and both kinds
are extremel. numerous-have attracted
the attention of all his old friends and
beneficiaries, and Addicks is just now

Jumped and Fled.

Immediately after the cars OF his train
had stopped and the second car plunged
into the street, Kelly jumped from the
train and fed along the elevated tracks.
He could hear the screams Of the VIC
tins in the wreck and apparently was
terror stricken.
One report was that Kelly had escaped
from the city aided by his sweetheart
Miss Hattie Mccormick of 304 West
I49th street, but when reporter called
at her home he learned from the young
woman's brother, that she was on the
verge of insanity and knew nothing OF
the whereabouts of Kelly.
1t Is thought Kelly has left for St
Louis whence he came last March.
1t was learned after the accident that
Kelly went TO the home of Howard

there until O'Clock In the afternoon

COLUMBIA WILL NOT
 ABOLISH ATHLETICS
President Butler Says the Object of Faculty Action Is to Bring About
 Clean Sport

New York, December 22.-President But Ter announced to Columbia students today that intercollegiate athletics would not be abolished at Columbia university with out first consulting the wishes of the stu dent body. He made this statement at a mass meeting of students which had been called to protest against the faculty's pro- posal to abolish athletics. The students cheered President Butler and adjourned the meeting without taking any action.
 President Butler said a mistaken im- pression had been gained of the purpose of recent faculty action. It was still the intention, he said, to keep Columbia in intercollegiate athletics, but radically to reform the athletic system, especially with view of preventing in the future the development of abnormal teams, or the existence of an athletic management in- volving the control of great sums of money Columbia would attempt to have every student participate in amateur in- stead of limiting the game to a few professional athletes.
