also true that the railroad company

The statement that the passengers

FREIGHT CAR MYSTERY.
Dead Man Behind Sealed Door Pos
sibly Murdered.

BALTIMORE. August 1.-The body of a
white man. Apparently about twenty eight
years old. was found this morning in a
freight car which had been sent to Camden
station Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
after having been held at Mount Clair sta
ton over night. The car was loaded with
merchandise and had come from Chicago
All it's doors were sealed, though one Of
them appeared to have been broken open
and the sealing wire afterward joined to-
gether.
Death had resulted from a gaping bullet
wound In the head made by 3S-caiber
bullet. A number of cartridges Of this size
were found in the pockets of the clothing,
but no trace of pistol could be found,
though careful search of the car was made.
Hence the police believe the man was muir
dered and his body afterward placed in
the car.
The coroner expressed the conviction that
death had occurred about twelve hours be-
fore the body was discovered. The man
was apparently a laborer and a Baltimo-
rean. his hat and necktie bearing the marks
of local merchants. Nothing was found
upon the body by which identity could be
established.

SOME FRIENDS ADVISE HIM TO

Some of Secretary Taft's friends. solicit

renewing their advice to him to resign from
the cabinet next winter They think that
by SO doing he would relieve himself of
the charge Of being Roosevelts legatee, and
remove some friction that exists thereby.
1t has not developed that Secretary Taft,
however, agrees with his advisers, and he
has not given any indication of intention to
get out of the administration.

Secretary this advice at the meeting Of his
political counsellors in this city last winter,
and who are now understood to be renew

CALEB POWERS CASE
FORMER GOV. TAYLOR NOT LIKE
LY TO RETURN TO TESTIFY.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
GEORGETOWN, KY, August Conn
monwealth's Attorney Bob Franklin gave
out statement today in which he says
that If Gov w. s. Taylor will return to
Kentucky to testify for Caleb Powers he
will guarantee that he will get back to
indianapolis without being arrested. Tay-
Tor has been a fugitive from justice since
the murder of Senator Goebel. Franklin
come back If he would explain the pardon
in Powers possession when arrested.
Report that Franklin had offered Taylor
immunity caused much excitement here,
as every effort to arrest him has been
made since his escape from the state, eff
having evcn-been resorted to, and the fact
that he can come back unmolested to
testify If he chooses has created confusion
among the strat-laced democrats, who
have Tried the every day since the
assassination. and II is thought for this
reason Taylor will decline to come. He
says that he knows nothing that will help
Powers and that he viii not explain the
pardon.
Powers says that soon as he regains
his freedom he intends to return to the
eleventh district, his home, and make the
race for Congress. When asked if he would
escape II the keys We're placed in his hands
by friends, he Indignantly replied that the

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
HIS VICTORY OVER GOV. VARDA-
MAN IN THE PRIMARIES.

Democrats in Washington. and especially
the southerners. were very much interested
today in the victory of Mr. John Sharp
Williams in his contest for the United
States Hcfra tofsiiipa with Gov. Nsrda,a an of
Mississippi. The outcome of the primaries
is regarded by some democrats as a victory
for the more conservative element Of the
party in Mississippi, and assurance that
the state will be represented in the Senate
by man of conservative type.
Mr.. Williams has his ill-wishers in Con-
gress. especially in the House, where an
active factonal fight had been commenced
against his leadership. Indeed. at the close
of the last session his opponents were boldly
claiming that there was likelihood of their
being able to overthrow him at the COM
mencement of the next Congress. Mr.. Will
liams' friends said today that his success
ut the primaries ought to have the effect
of improving his prospects for the House
leadership, which he will probably decide
to hold pending the taking of his seat in
the Senate, which will not occur until 1911
Mr.. Williams tendency in his leadership
has been decidedly conservative. He Is not
a radical free trader. realizing that the in
dustrial conditions of this country will not
admit of free trade: but he believes in
material reduction of the tariff. H6|is OPP
posed to government ownership of railroads,
and is not in sympathy with the ultra
radical views of some other democrats Of
prominence.
Gov. Vardaman is recognized as very
radical on many subjects. and is declared
by some to be entirely out Of touch with
the more advanced thought of his party,
and, indeed, of his section.
Some southerners have expressed the fear
that with JEFF Davis of Arkansas, Varda-
man of Mississippi. and .fillman of South
Carolina in the Senate, the most radical ele-
ment of the south would find expression
perhaps more frequently, or, at least. more
vociferously than the preponderating senti-
ment of that section. and give wrong
impre ssion. To the democrats of that mind,
therefore the victory of Mr.. Williams is a
relief

ALLEGED BANK WRECKER HELD.
B. Clements Arrested at Dillon,
Mont.-Under Indictment Here.


Bt TIE, Mont. August "a. b. Glenn
ents, cashier and manager of the Aetna
Banking and Trust Company at the time
OF its failure, about a year ago. was ar
rested last night at his hom- in Dillon on
four felony charges growing out of the
Aetna wreck. 1t Is charged that he made
reports to the state auditor and published
them that the bank had Il paid-tip capit,1
of 100000 in cash, when, in fact about
S.0.GOo of il was in personal notes signed
by himself and others. II is also charged
that he took money out OF the bank and
put his personal notes in for il.
Thc government has determined to prose-
cute every one responsible for the Aetna
wreck. and William Scallon. former chief
counsel OF the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, and prominent a civic reformer
has been retained TO assist in the prosecu-
tons. II is promised that men higher than
Clements will be caught in the net The
bank had liabilities for about 5000 O0O and
about 100000 in assets TO meet them when
II failed.

cate which view is correct, but it Is per-
haps significant that after trying 1t on
for several months. some of the Secretary's
well-wishers are again urging him to cut
loose from Roosevelt and go into the fight
under his own banner.
The men who are advising him to resign
say that the only reason for it would be to
relieve him of the shadow Of Roosevelt's
cloak, and that 1t would not be similar to
the resignation of Blaine from Harrison's
cabinet. In that case Mr.. Blaine was a
candidate against his chief and got out
OF the cabinet upon grounds of deIicacy
alone In this instance there is no question
of conflict of candidacy -s,.ss-,sE-r,
