Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile. Dec, 23.
 Search Is being actively perseea ated for the negro assailant of Miss corlnne vegliaclch. but the police have so Tar been baffled dn their effort to- ap- prehend the guilty negro.
 All the police officers have been furnished with the best description obtainable of the brute. but thIs Is quite meager. owing to the darkness that prevailed at the time of the as- sault, and the natural excited oondi- tion of the young woman.
 Chief Rondeau. In speaking of the matter today with The Advertiser cor- respondent. said the description was so general that it would fit a large number of negroes, but that the or- ficers were on the lookout for any negro wearing light coat and lisht derby hat. who seemed to be in any way suspicious. It became known this morning that Miss Ruth Vegllacich, a sister of the young woman who was attacked by the negro. was accidentally shot dur ing the evening by Carl LuIl. a neigh hor boy. I hey boy and some compan- ions were playing with a 2z-ca.iber pistol, when, in some manner 1t be- came discharged. tho bullet striking the young woman just above the knee, The accioent occurred at the Vegliacich home near the corner of Monroe and Lawrence streets, near where the as- sault upon Miss Corinne Vegliacich took place

Pensacoia, Fla, Dec. 2s.--(speciai.l ) Another Pensacoiisn. Hon. J. Ed O'Brien. Is being mentioned prominent- iy as a probable candidate for Gov ernor of Florida in the next election. and d number of papers of The State have given him very complimentary notices, but whether or not the move to bring him before the people of the State has his sanction Is a question which cannot be yet determined owing to the fact that he Is now in Washing ton.
 Captafn O'Brien is president of the National Bar Pilots Association. and in this capacity has been compelled to re- main in Washington during the session of congress in the interest of the pilots whom he represents. owing to the Lit 4tlheld anti-pilotage bill and other measures which would be very deteri-
 mental to the interests of the pilots all sver tho United States.
 He has been a prominent factor, how ever, in Florida politics Tor number of years. and represented Escambia rouYty in the State senate for one term It would not be surprising were he to snfer the gubernatorial race. and he would prove an important factor. Should he do so there would be two candidates for gubernatorial honors from this county, provided Hon. T.. Albert Jennings, who has long been mentioned. finally decides to become 6 candidate
 The latter is well known, liked and admired and having resided in the State for a long period Is considered one of the strong men politically now in the time light He has never intimated. however, that he is grooming himself for the contest. but many are of the belief that his future actions will be governed largely upon those who mako public announcement Uf thetr candi- lacy.

Special to The Sentinel
Washington. Jan. 1S.-Poultney
Biglow, who was denounced by Sec
retary Taft for his criticism of the
management of canal affairs, declined
to answer question disclosing to the
senate the source of his information.
Upon being instructed to answer,
he declared: "The committee can
put me on dirt and water or deport me
to Colon, but it cannot compel me to
divulge that which was igiven me in
confidence" The committee then
went into executive session to de
termine what course should be taken.
Biglow's statement. made at the
time when public interest in canal
matters was at fever heat, led to an
investigation which was begun today
before the senate committee on In
teroceanic canals. Biglow was the
first witness.
On motion of Morgan. theoath was
presented to the witness. but Biglow
stated that he was a Quaker and
thereby he was permitted to affirm"
rather than to swear" He was ask
ed to tell his story in his own way.
