William Ellis, an Australian horseman
at Berkeley, CAL, tonight shot and
killed Nulda Olivia, his last female
companion. and then sped bullet
into his own head, causing instant
death. That Andrews, for whom the
police of the entire country were
searching, was fully prepared for the
tragedy that closed his career was
shown by the fact that he acted with
out a moments hesitation.
Having learned that Andrews and
Nulda Olivia were living in an upper
fiat at 748 McAllister street, the pO-
lice department tonight sent a detail
OF two policemen and two detectives
to make the arrest. Although certain
that the persons wanted were in the
two room apartment they occupied, the
officers received no answer to their
repeated knocking on the door. At the
moment one of the officers was dis.
patched for an axe with which the
door was broken open Andrews fired
the shot which ended the career of his
companion. The bullet was fired into
her right temple and she dropped dead
On the bed, falling backward, with
her hands clasped over her breast
When the officers gained entrance to
the apartment they found Andrews ly

Hearing in Taylor Case.
The hearing in the case of Taylor
is set for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
iLg, when 1t is presumed both sides
will be ready and anxious to proceed.
The case of II. Ray Long has not yet
been set, but it is expected that the
hearing will be held Tuesday morn
ing. The action that may be taken
in the Taylor case is likely to have
q considerable bearing upon this point
The officers believe they will be able
to make very strong showing. and
in the meantime are making every
proper and legitimate effort to make
a stronger case.
Defendants are Confident.
The defendants are equally conf
dent that not the slightest evidence
actually connecting them with the
horrible crime can be presented and
are very anxious to secure as early
hearing as possible. in order that
the term of their confinement may be
terminated. Their attorneys share

Intense Interest Taken
The keenest interest in the case 81
taken by the public. and every phase
of the matter has been discussed, to
the exclusion of every other subject
during the past few days. Public sen
timent, as before, continues on the
side of the prisoners, and the Pinker
| ton detective is apparently just as
confident as ever. While it has been
great hardship to these young men
to be subjected to the bitter and hu
initiating experience they have under
gone since last Friday, the arrests
whatever may be the out come, were
fully warranted if the Pinkerton mar
has the evidence regarding them he
claimed to have. 1t is the show dowr
on this point that the public is await
ing with interest. The majority are
inclined to believe that the detective
is prepared to make some sensational
disclosures, and if his showing is any
thing like as strong as he claims hi
can make, there will be no furthe
criticism of his action.

REFORM WINS
PHILADELPHIA
WAS A SAD DAY FOR THE BOSSES
IN THE QUAKER
CITY.

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Philadelphi
has been swept by the reform move
ment. the City Party ticket winning
by surprisingly large plurality.
While returns from only six Of the
AZ wards in this city had been count
ed up to midnight, enough is known
of the result in the remaining wards
to indicate the defeat of the Repub-
10000 plurality.
The victory OF the City Party carries
with 1t the election of VIM II. Berry.
the Democratic and reform nominee
for state treasurer. J. Lee Plummer.
the Republican candidate for that Of
fee. was badly cut throughout the city
and state. and he has lost his own
county, which is usually Republican.
The result has every appearance of a
landslide for reform, not only in Phil.
adelphia, but throughout the state
No Serious Disturbance.
Contrary to general expectation,
there was no very serious disturbance
In the city today. There were, how
ever, many small scrimmages at poll
ing places, especially in the more
thickly settled wards, where the Re-
publican organization is very strong,
and where the City Party put up a
most determined fight. The police de-
| partment was at all times master OF
the situation, and wherever trouble
was started it was quickly stopped.
| Some of these disturbances blossom
ed into small rallies. but after the
! smoke had cleared away it was found
that no one was seriously injured.
United States Senator Penrose' S
ward the Eighth, which gave over A.
900 Republican majority last year. was
carried by the City Party by so major
ity.
The returns up to midnight show
the Republicans carried only a few
wards and these We're held by narrow
margins. One year ago President
Roosevelt carried the city by 1S0,S34
plurality. None of the Republican
leaders had much TO say on the result
Sheriff James l.. Miles. chairman OF
the city committee would not admit
defeat, until midnight. Asked for a
statement, he said:
Il have nothing to say; what's the
use?"
The City Party sympathiZers are
celebrating their victory tonight by

Number Of Inmates.
The number of inmates varies great.

winter months, the number may reach

are now seven inmates, all men.
What It Costs.
The contractor receives for the
boarding, feeding and general care Of
the inmates $3.50 per week. and should
one of them die, meets the expense
of decent burial. When it is con
sidered what has to be done each week

small, and it is certain that the con
