ASSAULTED WITH RATCHET
Decker Tries to Murder His Sleeping
 Companion.

Carl Decker made a murderous as- sault on H. H. Hill, at an early hour this morning at the Denver lodging both of them reside. The instrument employed was a hatchet and it was on ly by a very narrow margin that Hill escaped with his life. Both men had retired at a late hour and had before retiring had considerable conversation Nothing talked of however according to Hill could be taken offense at and when he finally doZed off to sleep he had no idea that his friend was in an angry mood. They both occupy cots in the hall. Possibly after he had been asleep an hour he was awakened to find his head being hammered with a hatchet. He screamed and his cries awoke others in the house and caused Decker to resist in his attack Con stable Lee Redwine who lives in the same building was called and at once placed Decker under arrest. He was taken to jail where he spent the re- mainder of the night. He gave no eN- planation of his action further than to say that Hill bothered him and would not let him sleep. Hill was taken tO the hospital and his wounds were dressed. A big part of one of his ears had been chopped off and gash had been cut in his cheek. Decker came here from Florida about two months ago. He says he is married and has two children who reside at Tampa. He is quite ill with consumption

GENERAL STRIKE
 UNION PRIMERS
The Fight for an Eight Hour Day Be-
 gins This Morning.

New York Jan. For the first time since the organization of the Interna- tional Typographical Union, a general strike will go into effect tomorrow in every shop in the United States and Canada where the employers refuse to grant an eight hour day
 Several times before the union printers in various parts of the coun- try have ordered strikes to enforce the betterment of their condition, but these strikes have always been sectional, and in many cases have been won by the employers. Now, with a treasury fund of more than quarter of million dol lars, obtained by assessment on every union printer, a determined effort is to be made to establish the eight hour day universally. Out of the 5000 mem bers of the typographical union No. 6 in New York, it was estimated to- night that fewer than 900 will be Oblig- ed to strike tomorrow. The typothetae employers have established a tcmpOr- ary home for an army of about 700 non union printers in an old school house in West Tn ehttesterhrdlutaoin house in West Tenth street, where lodging and meals will be provided. Union officials said tonight that many New York firms had agreed to the eight hour day.

KENTUCKY FIGHT
 HAS BEGINNING
Indications Are That Blackburn Will
 Be Defeated.

Frankfort. Ky. Jan. 1.-The frs: slsirmish in the battle for United States Senator J. C. $. Blackburn's seat was won by the Paynter forces in the eau GUS of the democratic members of the house tonight. The opening tug of war came on the selection of a chairman Of the caucus. The caucus was nos called to order until shortly after 3 o'clock. over an hour of delay being occasioned by the tremendous press of people around the house chamber.
 When Louis McQuowen, chairman of the democratic state central commit tee, finally brought the members to or der and called for the election of permanent chairman. Representative J. c. Gooch, an adherent of Judge Thos II. Paynter and an administration man was elected over the Blackburn Halde- man candidate by vote of fl to 8. The result of the vote indicated that the Paynter forces would be able to organ ize the house by electing the speaker and other officials and the hopes of his supporters accordingly rose higher at the prospect of the great advantages to be realized from the control of the house when the balloting for United States senator is taken up. On the other hand. the Blackburn -Haldeman forces pointed out that Paynters strength as indicated by the vote for

0DElL'S HOPE LIES
 IN A SECRET BALLOT
He is Confden: Of the Nomination
 of His Candidate.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1.-The test of strength in the caucus of republican assemblymen tomorrow night will probably be taken not directly on a vote upon the candidates for the nom- ination for speaker of the assembly. but upon the question whether the vote on the speakership nomination shall be 3 secret vote. The utmost re- sources of both sides are now concern trated upon that single point. Its inn portance is evident in the light of the fact that the pledges hitherto obtained from the individual members of the as sembly have had reference only to the support of this candidate or that. The issue of secret ballot for speakership sprang into existence late this after noon and visibly disturbed all the com parative certainties, which had been supposed to exist.
 The leaders of the movement for the nomination of James w. Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston, who was selected by Governor Higgins as his choice, ad init that if they cannot prevent a sec ret ballot they cannot secure MT. Wadsworth's nomination by the eau GUS. On the other hand, the adherents of Edwin A. Merritt, Jr., of St. Lawr ence, changed their previous tactics of claiming that they could defeat Wads- worth even if they could not elect Mer- ritt, and began to assert that they were certain of votes enough to secure a secret ballot
 At last accounts tonight the best informed observers on both sides agreed that in an open ballot or roll call of republican assemblymen in the existing condition of affairs MT. Wads worth would ha elected. Both sides agreed also that upon a secret ballot the result would be very different.
 That Mr. Wadsworths supporters view the proposition of a secret ballot with solicitude is evident from a state ment made late in the evening by Su- perintendent of Public Works N. V.

Premier Witte Shows the Emperor the Way
 to the Hearts of the People
But Measures of Repression Will Meet the Efforts of the Revolutionaries to Prepare Armed Organization Against the Government.

St Petersburg, Jan. Tt is learned from a high source that Premier Witte is again strongly urging the emperor to immediately promulgate a moderate constitution for the double purpose of reassuring the liberals that the pres ent war against the reds does nos mean reaction and blocking the at tempt which undoubtedly will be made when the national assembly convenes to transform that body into a constitu- ent assembly.
 Moreover, the plan has a heavy backing, and the emperor is showing an inclination to accept it. The pre- mier is understood to have informed his majesty that such an act would be master stroke at the present june ture. and might rally the whole body of conservative and liberal opinion to the side of the government.
 The policy of repressing the revolutionists continues with a vengeance. Their announcement that they propose to carry on guerilla warfare until an arm ed revolt is prepared has stimulated the government to redoubled energy. The city prisons are so Overcrowded that hundreds have been removed tC different fortresses. Government spies are at work among the wOrllmen and revolutionary societies with instruc tions to give warning of the meetings which are immediately surrounded and the members searched for arms. The

caucus chairman was insufficient to elect him senator and that furthermore several members who voted for Cooch for chairman would not vote for Payn- ter for senator.
 There was a considerable delay be- fore the caucus took up the question of nominating a speaker of the house The vote for speaker of the house de- monStrated that the Paynter forces were in the ascendant. H. R. Law renee, the Paynter candidate, received thirty-nine votes, the vote for R. w. Miller, who received the combined vote of the Blackburn -Haldeman forces. amounting to thirty. The caucus then proceeded to choose the minor officials of the house. The program agreed on before hand only called for the nomin- ation of house officers, the first caucus ballot on the senatorial race coming tomorrow night, when senate and house will meet in joint caucus. Meanwhile the legislature will meet in regular session tomorrow noon, but beyond the preliminaries of organization, no busi- ness will be transacted by either branch.
 The Kentucky legislature consists of ninety eight representatives and thirty-eig senators. Of the total of 1S6 votes in the two branches, the democrats control 105, thus making fifty three votes necessary to nominate a senator in joint caucus.

MALARIA ?? |? Generally That is Not the Trouble.

E Persons with a susceptibility to ma larial influences should beware of cof- fee, which has tendency to load up the liver with bile.

 T was also grievously afflicted with headaches and Indigestion" she says which l became satisfied were like wise largely due to the coffee I drank Six months ago I quit it's use altogether and began to drink Postum Food Cof. fee, with the gratifying result that my headaches have disappeared, my diges- tton has been restored and I have not had a recurrence of chills and fever for more than three months. I have no doubt that it was Postum that brought me this relief, for I have used no medi- cine while this improvement has been going on." Ct was really relief from congestion of the liver caused by cof- fee.)
 My daughter has been as great d coffee drinker as l, and for years was afflicted with terrible sick headaches which often lasted for a week at a time She is a brain worker and excessive application together with the headaches began to affect her memory most ser iously. She found no help in medicines and the doctor frankly advised her to quit coffee and use Postum.
 For more than four months she has not had a headache-her mental facul- ues have grown more active and vigor- ous and her memory has been restored.
 No more tea, coffee or drugs so long as we can get Postum." given by Postum Co, Battle Mic.

AWAKENED AN
 EARLIER LOVE
A Struggle Yesterday for the Possess
 sion of the Dead

Because hn wos the father of her children and because they wanted it to be so-or possibly just an eccentric mood or because the people she had learned to hate were opposing her, but most likely because she still loved him, Kate Sahra made a strong fight the greater part of yesterday morning for the possession of the remains of the man from whom a little over two years ago she had been divorced. He had died under different roof than the one which sheltered her and their chil- .dren but in his last hours she had sent him comforts and had sent priest of the church of their belief to administer the last sacrament.
 Others who had made greater show of being his friends when Sabra was well, had not been so thoughtful and had not been as attentive. Then death came and the soul of John Sabra Jeff this world for the great unknown. It was then that Kate Sabra went to the house which death had visited and claimed the right to provide a burial for the body But others had preced- ed her and they denied her admission. They told her to go away for she was not wanted. She did leave the place and visited the officers, seeking help there. None could be given her for when she had asked the court for sep aration from her husband and il had been granted all ties of a legal nature binding them, had been broken. The children, she was told. might claim and of right. have the body.
 She returned to her home and told her children of her sad plight. They begged to be allowed to visit the house of their father. They were admitted to the home but could not view the remains.
 Late in the afternoon the funeral was held. The body had been taken from the home to the undertakers and from there it was taken to the Catholic church and later to the Catholic ceme- tery for interment. Kate Sabra and her two children in a closed carriage followed the funeral procession to the grave but were not allowed to view the remains. During the long sad ride her sobbings and those of her children were plainly audible and her grief was heart rending. It is possible her griev- ing was the climax of months of long ing for the man she loved.

THE OUTLOOK
 IS CHEERING
The Almost Certain Defeat
 of Joint Statehood
It is Still Urged That Arizona Should Haste to Make Assurance Doubly Sure.

Washington, Jan. 1.-(Special)-- There is a growing possibility of the defeat of the joint statehood bill in the house. But # it goes to the senate, it is certain now that it cannot be passed In its present form. Either Arizona and New Mexico will be eliminated from it altogether or it will be passed with the FOraker amendment, submit ting it to the separate vote of the two territories at special election to be held for that purpose alone.
 Senator Beveridge continues to fill such newspapers and magazines as he can influence with his falsifications about the existence in Washington of q mining corporations and railroad lobby but his policy is strongly reacting upon him and has already considerably weakened the support of the joint statehood measure.
 Though there is an almost certain probability of the bill so far as it af- fects Arizona, the territory should send strong delegation here representative of its commercial and other property interests. The delegation should in- clude lawyers, merchants, farmers, etc The delegation should arrive here not later than Ian. '.
 Beveridge is seeking to make it ap- pear that all who are opposing the scheme have been bought and it is that fact which is damaging him. It may be said that it is as nearly certain as any thing in the future can be that Arizona will win in the fight. There are too many honest and fearless men in the house and senate for it to result other wise

Franchot, one of Governor Higgins closest advisers. MT. Franchot said: :
 There is no change in the situation. desperate effort has been made by the friends of Mr. Odell, including J. Calvin Mcknight, recently MT. Har- rlman's private secretary. to commit the assemblymen to a secret ballot. The friends of MT. Wadsworth are able to put but one construction upon this scheme, and that is, the desire on the part of those opposed to him to use money for the purpose of encompass ing his defeat. Even with the use of money they do not believe this can be accomplished. The supporters of MT. Wadsworth, representing the vast ma Jority of the republicans of the state, cannot be influenced by any such means"
 This statement of MT Franchot soon became known about the Ten Eyck corridors and produced a profound sen sation. Neither MT. Odell nor Me Knight would reply to or comment up- on it, but Senator Malby said:
 "I should say in reply to the state ment of MT. Franchot that it is the policy of this state in the interest of
 Ol. asmuch as the executive, his superin- tendent of public works, MT. Franchot and other members of his administra- ton have sandbagged every assembly, man from Montauk Point to Niagara Falls to secure his vote for MT. Wads- worth, justice and prudence have de- manded that these men should for once have an opportunity to vote as they want to. As for the use of money the charge comes with i'll grace from a candidate who is himself several times a millionaire"
 State Chairman Odell had little to say tonight, except that in his opinion Mr. Merritt was steadily gaining in strength and would secure the nomin- ation. MT. Wadsworth has reiterated his statement that he had personal pledges enough to elect him.
