AND EXPLICIT STATEMENT.
Has Been DevOting HIS Thoughts to Plans
for Party Reorganization KNEW Noth-
ing Of q Conference in Philadelphia
ON the New Jersey senat orshID.

TRENTON. n. j., Nov. 1I.-Gov. Stokes
arrived at the State House tonight. having
just returned from his home in Millville,
where he had been spending Sunday. This
Governor was indignant when he read in a
Philadelphia newspaper IN account Of a
conference in that city yesterday to con-
slider the situation regarding the United
States Senatorship, in which il was stated
that the Governor had been sending ennis
saries to different members OF the Legis-
lsture urging upon them his candidacy for
the place.
Soon after his arriva! here the Governor
made a statement one, more denying that
he is a candidate or that he has been \
party to any movement with thai end in
view. The conference was held without
the Governors knowledge. AM h, said hi'

the newspapers. Commenting upon tbs

"Since that time my interviews on that

FATAL BATTLE With BURGLAR.
son or RICH FAMILY SHOT DOWN
AFTER EMPTYING PISTOL.
Met Intruder I'm Dining Room PiIIns Up
silver Int Both Began Shooting In the
BARK Victim GrappIed with RObber
and Got Two Bullets NJ Close Range.

PITTsBURG, Nov. li.-Henry +. Smith,
rs years old, a prosperous business man,
living in the fashionable East End district,
was shot to death in his own home In a
duel with a burglar early this morning.
The burglar escaped.
This Is the second murder in the fashiona-
bic part OF Pittsburg within ten days. James
NJ. Mcmillan, Pittsburg representative Of a
New York house, was held up by highway
men in sight of his own home a few nights
ago. His brains we're battered out, and
his body was robbed and thrown to one
side of the street.
The murder OF this morning was particu-
lary atrocious. The killing took place
about 40 o'clock. Joseph +. smith and
his wife, the young mans father and mother
with whom he lived, we're awakened by
the shots and ran down stairs to find their
only son dying on the kitchen floor with
two bullet holes in his body.
IL seems that young Mr.. Smith heard a
noise downstairs, and getting his revolver
went to investigate. When he opened the
dining room door the thief was evidently
standing at a buffet piling silverware to-
gether. When he heard the o open he
turned and fired. the bullet lodging in the
upper part Of the door. Then Smith fired.
Apparently the burglar made a dash
for the rear door. Smith ran to intercept
him, both men still shooting. At last
Smith grappled with the burglar and got
a bullet in the right thigh. Smith con-
tinued the struggle and several more shots
were exchanged.
At last the thief managed 10 get his
weapon against Smiths left breast and
fired. The shot penetrated the lung and
Smith fell dying to the floor.
When Smiths parents got down stairs
they found their son gasping out his life.
The back door stood open, but no one could
be seen.
Young Smith managed TO gasp ON some
details of the battle before he died.
The only light in the house al the time
OF the killing was a dim gas jet in the hall.
The dining room and kitchen we're dark
and the battle was fought without light.
Smiths night robe and the skin of his
breast we're burned by the fash of the
burglars weapon, proving that the two
must have been struggling or at least within
arms reach Of each other when the fatal
shot was fired.
The Smith family is wealthy. Joseph +.
Smith. the father. il treasurer of the Pitts
burg Label Company, and his son, the
dead man, was in the employ of the same
company.

Football ROOters Administer First De-
gree to Jolly Minnesota Goods.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE widest, noisiest
celebration of a football game ever seen in
Chicago shook the downtown hotels last

Hats were smashed and furniture was
broken as usual. and in addition one party
of Minnesota girls was spanked, an en-
thusiastic party Of young men taking the
girls across their knees for the purpose
in the lobby OF the Great Northern Hotel.
Early in the evening twenty Minnesota
rooters took possession OF the Great North
ern lobby, dining rooms and corridors .
They marched upstairs and down, singing
and shouting. ~Encountering another party
of boys and girls from Minnesota. the leader
of one side shouted. Let's initiate the girls!'
and added, Girls, it has beer decided that
each Of you be spanked"
Then he seized a girl, carefully but
firmly placed her across his knee. and gave
her a rousing spank, then another and
a third.
By his time each boy had a girl across
his knees and amid laughter, shrieks and
screams from the girls and the uproar
from the gathered guests. the first degree
was given.
Then the girls attacked the boys and in
many instances administered a hearty
return for the initiation they had them
selves received.
At the Annex hats were smashed and
guests were driven from the lobby by the
pranks of the rooters.

CHICAGO, Nov. II.-President Roosevelt
In his annual message to Congress next
month will recommend two amendments
TO the interstate law.
He will propose that the various railway
traffic associations, whose standing before
the law is now extremely dubious, shall be
legalized and that at the same time these
shall be shorn Of most OF their power by a
requirement that all rates made by them
must be confirmed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission
This would give the commission control
OF the initiating Of most rates in addition
to its present power Of changing them
when after formal hearing il And them

The second amendment will be one in
Creasing the number OF members Of the
commission from seven to ten.
The enormous amount Of work which has
piled mp since the new rate law went into
effect has convinced the President and
members OF the commission that it is not
numerically strong enough. Information
regarding these proposed reforms was
brought to Chica go by men who had con-
ferred with the President just before his
departure for Panama.

G. r. L.. TURNS on COLER.
Didn't Follow ITS ideas, on Paving Non
Union Men, Too.


Before the election President Bird y.
Coler OF Brooklyn was in high favor with
the Central Federated Union. He has been
thanked several times by that body, but
now, according TO the c. +. T., he has fallen
from grace
The C.. F.. U. pitched into him yesterday
because after it had directed hin 10 see
that Broadway. Brooklyn, should be re-
paved with asphalt blocks, he allowed a
contract to be let for paving it with sheet
asphalt. 1t il also charged that he has
allowed the contractors to employ nom
union men.
Mr.. Coler sent a letter to the C.. F. Y.
yesterday explaining that the contract
had been modified 80 that the city got better
value from the sheet asphalt paving. The
letter said nothing about non-uniOn mel
and was referred TO the Asphalt Workers
Union for action.
Delegate Wallace of that union said it
would fight to have the paving lone as the
G. r. L. wants it and would also make a
fight for union conditions. II possible, it
would compel Mr.. Coler to have the street
ripped up again.
