ODELL DOOMED
WORE a FRowN UPON FAILURE
TO MUSTER COHORTS
Defeat In New York County Organ.
izatIon Is Followed by Further
Defeat and Disappoint-
rnent

New York, Dec. 22.--The defeat of
the odell men In last nights meeting
OF the New York county Republican
organization, when Herbert Parsons
and his associates were elected to the
control of the committee was followed
today by another disappointment for
the former governor. Mir. Odell had
expected to muster enough followers
at the caucus of Republican assembly,
men, called to meet at the Cadillac
hotel, to throw n damper on the op-
position, but when less than so assem-
blymen put In an appearance, In ans
wer to the caucus call of Chairman
Phillips, Mr.. Odell wore a noticeable
irown, when the news first reached
him. However, he regained his Gus
tomary good nature but gave out no
further Statements
Candidate Wadsworth's attitude in
refusing an invitation of Assemblyman
Rogers and several of his colleagues to
attend the caucus was given as an in
dication that Mr. Wadsworth was
aware, at the time of the committees
visit that there would be but few re-
sponses to the call for the caucus.
Failing to get a sufficient number
Of assemblymen together for caucus
an adjournment was taken subject to
the call of the chairman.
Assemblyman Merritt stated today
that he would be in the race for the
speakership to the finish
Mr.. Odell is a fghter,' said he,
"and when it comes to question of
backing up HIS arguments he will be
found In to the finish"

QUEER DEALS
IN THE INSURANCE DEPART.
MENT BROUGHT OUT
Chief Examiner vanderpoel on the
Stand Admits Serious Neglect of
Duty In His Department.

New York, Dec. 22-The testimony
of Isaac vanderpoel, chief examiner in
the state insurance department, given
before the legislative insurance inves-
tigation today was received with some
surprise and was afterward the cause
of much comment. Mr.. Vanderpoel's
testimony led to the opinion that some
one i'm the state insurance department
was lax.
Mr.. Vanderpoel in answer to Inquisi-
tor Hughes declared that he had
known for year that the Mutual Life
Insurance company had transferred
profits of securities to reduce the book
value of its real estate, but that he
did not consider It necessary to inform
the superintendent. He said that this
had been the practice Of both the, Mu-
tual and the New York Life. but that
1t was not customary in other COM
panies so far as he was aware.
The witness declared in every in
since that he had confined himself to
the statements of the books, and chat
despite the facts that lawsuits we're
in progress and charges had been lodg-
ed by discharged employees OF the in
surance company, these matters had
not been given any attention by him.
Mr.. \-nderpoel then temporarily left
the stand in order that Charles Il.
Gretsinger, assistant auditor Of the
Mutual might produce the memoranda
signed by President McCurdy and Vice
President Grannis, directing the shift
ing Of money from the securities prof.
its account to the reduction of the
book value of real estate.
There we're some ten or twelve of
these documents including one dated
June 80, 1905, and signed by Richard
A. McCurdy, directing the auditor to
make the S5,0O0,000 shift previously
brought out in the testimony.
Before the investigating committee
opened its session today, Lou F. Payne
former superintendent OF insurance en-.
tered the room and held a short con-
versation with Chairman Armstrong of
the committee. It was afterward rum
ored that Mr.. Payne would be the star
witness before the committee for next
week

SOMEWHAT DEPRESSED
BY the Failure Of Workmen to Go
Out on Strike In Large

st. Petersburg, Dec, 23.--Although
the strike is spreading in this city and
its vicinity, still the progress made has
not been as rapid as that in Moscow.
This has partly restored the conf
dence of the government, while the
revolutionaries are somewhat depress-
ed by the failure Of the workmen to
go out on strike in larger numbers.
The revolutionaries nave also been
checked In their demonstrations by
the arrest of several Of their leaders,
but they are, on the whole. confident
of the ultimate success of the strike.
Several manufacturers have openly
expressed their sympathy with the
strikers, supplying them with money
and weapons with which 10 continue
their strike.

MRS. TAG LOSES
JUDGE EAsoN ovERRuLEs MO-
TioN FOR NEW TRIAL
Also Fined Her Attorneys for Con-
tempt and Defends His Decision.
Was Convinced by the
Evidence.

Wooster, o., Dec. 22--Judge Samuel
y. Eason today overruled the motion
of Mrs. Grace Culver Taggart's attor-
neys for new trial OF the divorce
case in which she was defendant and
fined three of her counsel for contempt
of court, later suspenoing the sne
pending his search for authority to i'm
pose such punishment.
I'm these afiidavits, am scorned and
maligneu, as no other judge ever was
scorned and maligned before in this
country" sold Judge Eason. But
am resolved to let no personal feeling
come between me and the rendering OF
absolute justice. The punishment Of
those whose names are attached to
these afildavits, deem to be sufficient
In that fact alone, that their names
are attached to sucn documents is %
lasting disgrace to them"
The three attorneys fined for con-
tempt are Congressman M. L. Smyser,
X. G. Critchfleld and Captain James
B. Taylor, two of whom made afiidyI-
It's which reflect seriously on the court.
They we're fined $15 each. .,....
Judge Eason re-arraigned Mrs. rag
gart and her associations with For
tesque and Billy Taggart. He said he
could in no way arrive at any decision
or other conclusions than those which
existed In his mind when he decided
the divorce suit and Lat he would
not open up the case again, simply to
crafty the attorneys who had been
disappointed.

SalineviIle, Dec. 23.-Percy Tetlow,
Of Washingtonville, president of this
sub-distriet Of United Mine Workers,
was called here this week to consult
in regard to new mining scale to be
adopted when the Sterling mine in
stalls its new electric motor in the
mine. The motor will be the means
of doing away with the mine mule and
several drivers will be thrown out OF

The miners are insisting that new
scale must be made, as the conditions
will be somewhat changed, and the
mining company must accede to their
demands under the agreement maze
two years ago, and which will expire
April l, 1905. The company wanted
to wait until the expiration of the
agreement but the local union insisted
on an agreement to take effect when
the motor was installed.
The conference between the parties
was harmonious and they were able
to get together with q draft of the
terms Of agreement, which will be rat
ifled by the district officials at an
early date. The company has . good
contract and has orders to keep 1t
busy all winter, insuring work for the
men until summer time.

HUNDREDS DROWN
IN GREAT FLOOD

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. 22.-Hundreds
of persons have been drowned accord
ing to reports which reached this city
today from the Sinola district of Mex
leo, where several towns and villages
have been. wiped out by the sudden
overflow of the Fuerti river.
Every dispatch from the flooded dis
trict augments the estimates of fatal
tiles. Thousands of families are home
less and the river banks are strewn
with corpses. The lower gorges of the
river are choked with the debris OF
ruined homes.
The flood was caused by heavy rains
in the mountains.
Relief parties are organizing in ali
directions. The river has overhowed
q wide tract of territory and railroad
tracks are washed away and telegraph
wires are down. The flooded district
Is therefore isolated ana the full ex-
tent of the calamity is not yet known.
Terrible stories of death and suffer-
ing reached the Texas river cities to-
day. These said that the Mexican
government would take steps at once
toward assisting the relief expedi-
lions.
The rush of the torrent swept
through the Fuerti valley leaving
seath and destruction in its wake. So
sudden was the onrush Of the food
that no attempt at escape was possi-
BILE on the part of the victims.
Many Americans are said to have
perished among the hundreds swept to
death
