MAY CALL AN ELECTION
Of Senators a. Well AZ Assemblyman-
Former, Therefore, May Completely
Surrender-Governor Appeals May
Figure In Programmes Success.

Albany, N. Y, April s.--The whole
political complexion of affairs was
changed this morning, when it was
learned that the attorney generals of
fee had reached the conclusion that the
decision of the court of appeals in de-
claring last years apportionment law
invalid would necessitate an election Of
state senators as well as assemblymen
this year It was further indicated
that, acting on the information, the
secretary Of state would ask for a for.
NAL opinion on the matter from the at
torney general and then proceed TO call
All election Of senators at the proper
time. This would leave The burden of
proof npon tho senators, who would be
obliged to contest the matter in the
courts. The immediate effect of this
matter u to place in the hands Of Gov.
ernor Hughes an unforeseen advantage
His strength lies with the people, and to
them he has made his recent appeals"
over the heads of the hostile Senate
His legislation and his effort to remove

have both been hindered and NAV be
defeated by the Senate. BIT, il they
are obliged to return to the people for
their election in few months these
same senators will obviously begin to
trim their sails to the wind and a com
plete surrender on their part seems in.
evitable, if the view Of the attorney
general shall be SUSTAINED.
Should this opinion gain ground IN the
next few days the passage Of all the
governors programme and speedy adj
jomnment seem not unlikely. Such d
revolt would not merely immensely In
crease the governors prestige but might
make him . factor hi national politics.
At the same time the reappointment
would have serious effect upon the
Republican organization. and the at.
tack made by Ex-Governor 0dell upon
President Roosevelt last Saturday night
Il viewed as the first sign OF an appre
citation Of the situation. A coalition be-
tween the friends Of the governor and
the President on one side and of the
enemies on the other, and fight for the
control of the state delegation to the
Republican National Convention now
seems inevitable Obviously this might
mean that New York's delegates would

Governor Hughes seems to have been
presented by chance with tremendous

Ing. The moon was half fun. The air

Lightning bugs were flashing between
day and dark, and it seemed to me that
the earth was dressed in spangles and

Wreckers Try to Derail a
Train
ON PENNSYL VANIA ROAD
Man Opens Switch Near Alliance, o.,
and Runs--The Pennsylvania Rail-
road officials Plan for
War.

Alliance, o., April 9.--An unsuccessful
attempt was made early yesterday to
wreck the fast freight on the Cleveland
& Pittsburg branch Of the Pennsylvania
company within 500 yards Of the sta
ton h1re.
The engineer OF the train saw the sig
nal for clear track suddenly thrown
to red.
A man who evidently opened the
switch ran from the track and disap-
peared.
This, the sixth attempt to wreck a
Pennsylvania train within month,
was made while the superintendent Of
all the grand divisions was hurrying to
Pittsburg, where they are today ~ con
ference with President MeCrea, plan
ming war on the gang Of wreckers.
The wreckers have derailel five trains
on the Pennsylvania railroad within a
month and rewards Of $4,000 have been
offered for their capture.
Investigations today established that
the derailing Of the west bound flyer
last night, near Hudson, o., was 4
continuance OF the work Of wreekers,
who have brought about four similarly
periIous situations within the past
month.
Immediate measures to cope with the
menace to lives are being taken.
The same methods were employed as
in Che wrecking of the Manhattan
Limited at Wilmefding, the keystone
z .,4 k4sI..v
cago Express at Turtle creek and the
iS-hour flyer at Mineral Point
A test made yesterday proved that
one man, working rapidly, could draw
the spikes. remove the fash plates, bend
rail inward and secure it in that po.
sition in about five minutes
The officials say that track walker
passed the scene 10 minutes before last
nights wreck took place.
In the wreck at Hudson the fish plates
were removed and wedged in between
the rail ends. This was done to prevent
breaking the electric rail current, which
would have caused display of the dan
ger signals.
Indications that employees Of the
Pennsylvania railroad are losing their
nerve because OF the traps set by
wreckers are manifest. Veteran engi-
neers are asking to be transferred TO
slow freight duty They fear to keep
1 up the schedule speed, and as result
nearly all fast trains are running be-
hind their allotted time
4 Foreign born section hands who are
reported hostile to the company may
furnish clew. IL is known that
hundreds Of employees are among those
over whom watch has been set.
4 Every foot Of tile trackage between
I Pittshurg and Altoona il patrolled
nightly by heavily armed guards. These
precautions are believed to have driven
The wreckers to the scene Of last night i
accident, 1875 miles west of Pittsburg.
4 It was announced yesterday that
$500 will be paid for the capture Of
the wreckers responsible for last night
accident, and an additional 50 800 is
offered if they are taken within IS
hours. p~
